At the Santa Ullsla Medical University, all departments work in an orderly manner, and there is no atmosphere of missing professors at all.

Well, it should be Joachim.

You shrugged helplessly, after investigating, the information of Joachim was very normal. Except that he has a bad habit of skipping work to go fishing.

Thinking about it this way, the so-called disappearance of the hospital should be that Joachim skipped work again to go fishing, and today is the fishing conference of the fishing master group, and Joachim should not be absent. In this way, it is understandable that the professor who has skipped a class has disappeared, and he is not nervous.

What does this mean?

This means that Joachim's office is now empty!

There is no decisive reason, Yu is not a policeman, he does not need rigorous logic and precise reasoning. If Joachim hadn't left, You would have had a way to get him to leave.

After a black military dog incident, the hospital's protective measures have been strengthened a lot, but for stealth experts, this level of protection is meaningless.

Yuki Tatsumi easily sneaked into the bathroom on the first floor, and he took out the things he had prepared long ago—discarded newspapers and something called lime, as well as a large number of cigarette butts.

This is a simple ignition device.

He hung a sign at the door that read "Do not use while cleaning", then turned on the faucet, then supported the lime powder with newspapers, put a large pile of waste newspapers on top of the lime, and threw the cigarette butts on the ground.

Over time, the water level slowly rose and did not pass the lime. When lime comes into contact with water, it generates a lot of heat, which is enough to ignite a newspaper.

Then, the fire alarm in the toilet will go loud, and while everyone is attracted to the chaos and chaos, You can easily sneak into Joachim's office.

Next, it's a matter of waiting.

――――――――――――――――――――

On the other hand, You's guess is very accurate, and the lost professor is none other than Joachim Jonta.

The hospital is not surprised, but because the work is really busy these days, I hope the police can get him back soon.

While they were preparing for the swim, Lloyd and the others were depressed and playing fishing in the shallows with Joachim......

――――――――――――――――

About twenty minutes later, the newspaper burned as You had expected. The shrill sound of the fire alarm immediately spread throughout the hospital.

Of course, Yu made sure that there was nothing in the bathroom that would allow the fire to spread. After all, Lloyd's sister was still working here, so how could he put her in danger?

The fire alarm will stop after 20 minutes, and with the scary time of exploration, it should take another 10 minutes or so to reach the institute. This half an hour is enough to explore well.

The doctors who were complaining about Professor Joachim's skipping work in the research room on the fourth floor couldn't care about any research materials when they heard the fire alarm, so they could only grab the materials at hand in a panic and strode out of the research room, and the whole hospital was in chaos.

You immediately opened the window and sneaked into Joachim's office.

Sure enough, it's still the same as before. You easily found the blue powder that Joachim had given to Rui in the cupboard. After taking a little bit as a sample, the tour continued to explore other things. It is mainly a study report and some information directly related to Joachim.

Open the drawer, and inside is a locked diary. You carefully picked the lock with a wire, but found that it was only trivial and full of distribution information of various fish, bait, habitat habits, and some detailed physical characteristics, nearly a hundred pages of thick notebooks full of fish knowledge, and even the fish that only appeared in Liber and Erebonia were recorded, and the names were marked with [book], which should have been seen from what magazine.

Cut, I thought I could see some kind of criminal plan.

You secretly laughed at his innocence, who would have nothing to do to write his criminal plan and criminal motive into a diary, and hide it in such an easy place to be discovered?

He was then drawn to a piece of information on the pile on the table.

That's Rui's file.

Many of them are written as "ominous", which can't be helped, after all, she is not a patient in the hospital. Things like height and weight measurements can barely be guessed, but blood type information and the like can't be obtained.

In her case, Joachim writes, she may have mild aphasia or severe autism caused by a chronically repressive environment. The name "Gnosis" is used for the medicine, which is probably the blue powder.

On the back of the paper, as if writing an essay, Rui's state is recorded, and it is specifically noted that the ability to cause "unpredictable prophets" is presumably caused by the drug stimulating the nerves in the brain.

There is no obvious problem, and this kind of irregular medical record is quite in line with Joachim's somewhat loose image.

“Gnosis？ Sagacious...... Is it? What an ambiguous name. ”

Just listening to the name, no matter how you look at it, it is related to calcium tablets, vitamins and the like, and you can become smart after eating it. Of course, in terms of results, it can indeed be regarded as "wise".

After a closer look, there were no other medical records related to Gnosis.

Isn't it a drug in development, so it's not given to anyone......

You quietly wrote down this information and carefully restored the scene, so as not to find out the problem with Joachim.

But it's really ...... Something strange.

Joachim was not strange in any way, but he always felt that something was wrong with him.

This feeling saved him several times, and he didn't realize that his feelings would deceive him.

Only...... Did you catch him with bait?

People who like fishing, but want to be fished by me?

Burst...... My ability to tell bad jokes is really getting better.

Suddenly, a somewhat restrained voice came from outside the door.

"That? Is anyone there? ”

Listening to the voice is a woman, a little timid.

You thought she had been discovered, but she repeated the question, and her tone was a little anxious. And the sound is very soft, in the sharp roar of the fire alarm, if it is not for the ear power, it will not be heard at all.

You secretly congratulated himself that he had recovered the scene, and secretly left through the window. Nimbly climbed to the roof and secretly watched the talking woman.

It was a very lovely little girl, with long black hair as beautiful as a waterfall, and she looked about the same age as Theojo, with her eyes tightly closed. At this time, she was wearing light green pajamas, stepping on the bunny slippers and looking for it on the roof, only to see her stretching out her hands and groping in the void.

Yes...... It's still that young child......

You just sighed a little.

If it were someone else, she would probably feel pitiful.

But you don't have that kind of mercy. Blind killers also exist, and there are many children of this age who do assassinate masters—such as himself, and Joshua.

"That...... Isn't anyone there? Where should I go? ”

She was anxious to explore the world that was dark for her.

The girl's name was Drip Marklein. She is the daughter of St. Arios, the Sword of the Winds.

You has seen this child from the information, but the photo posted in his information is a photo of her when her eyes are still intact. But he didn't recognize it for a while.

Should I help her?

If I help her, the fact that I've been here will be exposed. In this way, it is possible for Joachim to perceive. If he really is behind it, then this move is too dangerous.

Moreover, she didn't really set the fire, and as soon as the fire alarm disappeared, she would be safe. Actually, she doesn't need to be rescued. There is a fence on the roof and there is no fear that she will fall.

But......

You just can't be ruthless......

Obviously he should be the self of the killing machine, and he should be the cold-blooded and ruthless himself......

Sure enough, I got weaker. I became sentimental and became close to human beings.

You smiled self-deprecatingly and accosted her.

"Now, little girl over there."

"Huh? Are you calling me? ”

finally got a response, Xiao Di showed a cheerful smile, and the brightness made You feel more and more that his previous entanglement was a sin.

"Why is a man wandering on the roof?"

"Rooftop? Yes. Was it originally from the rooftop? ”

She also realized her place in hindsight.

"I heard the sound of an alarm and the sound of a lot of people walking, so I wanted to come out and see ......"

Her voice sounded a little embarrassed, and it seemed like she realized how dangerous she had done.

"I see. Then don't worry, the alarm will stop soon. ”

Just as You spoke, the sirens stopped. Droplet's face was stunned, and she quickly ran two steps towards the place where the voice came from, trying to get close to the person she was talking to.

"Y-How did you do that?!"

"Uh-huh...... It's just a little magic. I'm ...... By the way, let's call me the Nightmare of the Night. ”

Seeing that Xiaodi misunderstood himself, You's bad taste came up irrepressibly, and he could barely control himself from continuing to joke along with this misunderstanding.

"Ah, pitch black...... Dream? ”
