Chapter 11: The Dominated
Professor Buck seemed genuinely frightened.
However, he has indeed accumulated too much pressure these days, and the news of death came one after another from the six people attending the meeting that day, if it weren't for Su Xian's appearance in class today, his spirit would probably collapse further.
But in fact, Su Xian is not the Mark he thinks, and Mark is already dead.
If the antiquities dealer Ms. Ume and the explorer Mr. Leanwar also died, then only Professor Buck was the only one left alive among the six people present.
Su Xian quickly realized something: "Whether the box is related to parchment or not, it all happened in the same week. I don't have a direct parchment clue right now, and I can only look for it indirectly by investigating the box incident. Unfortunately, Professor Buck doesn't know much more than I do. At all, it is impossible to determine who killed Augusta and Professor Garlev. ”
He pondered and squeezed out his memories, but Mark's memories of that week were too vague, as if they had been deliberately covered with a thick black veil that they couldn't see through at all.
However, the six of them worked together to identify the box in the early hours of Monday morning, after which, according to Professor Barker, the six had dispersed before dawn. But Mark didn't go to class that day, which was unusual. Mark was in the academy, at least on the surface, an honor student who followed the school rules. He basically didn't skip class for no reason, unless there was something else to attend to......
So where did he go after dawn? And what did you do? If we can investigate this clearly, we should be able to make a breakthrough.
Or to be able to figure out the meaning of "eternal, unfamiliar, and red" on the seal is also a path to the truth.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea: "Maybe there are clues in Mark's notebook that I haven't found?" I was mentally exhausted last night, and I didn't even look through that notebook carefully, which shouldn't have been. ”
With some of this in mind, he said to Professor Barker, "This is already the case, and there is no escape from it. I've actually been in hiding for a week, and a cat-like woman has been following me since that day, but she was caught up in a gang fight yesterday. I took the opportunity to escape and return to the academy. ”
"A woman like a cat?" Professor Buck gradually calmed down, "Who is she?" Have you ever seen her face? If we can paint it out, we can report it to Officer Charles! ”
Report the case to Officer Charles?
Su Xian couldn't help but shake his head, as far as the police in Brut City are concerned, if they are unprofitable, it will be fine, once they smell fishy, they will instantly turn into jackals, so that you can understand what it is to be a bandit and not as good as a policeman.
Therefore, even if the people of Brut City encounter unsolved cases, they mostly ask some famous private detectives to investigate, and if they lack a sense of security, they will spend money to hire mercenaries, at least they have the spirit of contract.
Professor Barker, despite his great knowledge and respect, is too rigid when it comes to human sophistication.
Su Xian had to admonish: "Professor, leave this matter to me." You're tired these days, so it's best to stay in the academy all the time and don't go out, it's safer inside the academy than outside. ”
Professor Buck was stunned for a moment, then stopped.
Su Xian let him go and said, "Wait until I find the answer......
At that, his eyelids jumped, and he glared behind Professor Buck.
Professor Buck saw him react like this, and he also turned around in a hurry.
At this moment, Su Xian instantly grabbed his arm, and when the black ring flashed on his finger, the power surged out exponentially, pulling him back violently.
Almost at the same time, the window of the office was broken, and a figure swooped in through the curtains!
When he landed, he pulled back the curtains and rushed at Professor Buck with lightning speed...... Su Xian beside him!
"This is for me?"
This thought flashed through Su Xian's mind instantly, and without hesitation, he pulled down the backpack on his shoulder and threw it at the front of the person!
"Bang!"
That person probably didn't expect Su Xian's reaction to be so fast, and he was smashed from the front!
After that, he never had a chance to fight back.
The tremendous force of the backpack dragged him directly into the wall under the window.
There was only another loud bang, and the back of his head sank into the wall, and the cracks were thick!
The crack wasn't just on the wall, it was spreading into his skin.
Su Xian has never felt so fragile as he does today!
"Click, click!"
In the blink of an eye, the man's skin was cracking apart, and muscles and blood vessels were bursting out of the cracks.
Su Xian was shocked in his heart, he could hear the painful wail from the depths of his soul from that person's body!
The next second, he reacted.
"Run!"
He jerked around, grabbed Professor Buck's collar by the back, and rushed out the door.
Professor Buck couldn't react, and was forcibly dragged by him, but he saw the body of the attacker expand in the black light, become huge as a ball, and then suddenly burst!
"Boom!"
The explosion drowned out exclamations.
……
In a corner of the second floor of the museum, where Professor Barker's office was located, there was a violent explosion.
People who were eating on their lunch break heard the sound and stood outside the museum and looked up in shock.
Several security guards and male teachers hurried up to the museum, but there was no sign of Professor Barker.
……
Noble Residence Hall, Room 302.
"Professor Barker, I've told you many times that that person is coming for me, and it will be more dangerous for you to follow me."
"Nope! I must be their target too! They came for the box, and everyone who touched the box would die! ”
"Professor! If you're really so scared, you can go to the police station and sit for a while. As long as you bring a few treasures, even our police officers in Brut will be happy to let you stay at the police station for a few days. If you really don't want to, you can find a few mercenaries. I think you're pretty rich. ”
"Mark, I'm worried about you! I just want to be with you. ”
"Professor...... I don't really have that kind of sexual interest. ”
Su Xian helplessly dealt with Professor Buck, and the old professor didn't know if he saw anything, and now he was sticking to him like a dog skin plaster, so he just wouldn't leave.
And if he didn't leave, Su Xian couldn't look through his notebook, and he was at a stalemate for a while.
Fortunately, half an hour later, the leaders of the academy came to the door with several teachers and security guards.
It is estimated that they found a few students in Class A of the history department at the scene of the explosion and questioned them, and then learned that Professor Buck had named Su Xian to go to the office, so they came here to find Professor Barker.
Seeing Professor Buck being taken away by the leaders, Su Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He locked the door, entered the bedroom, opened the bookcase, took out the notebook mixed in, and sat on the edge of the bed to look through it.
Mark recorded a lot of things in his notebook, including interesting things he heard in class, the contact addresses of several of his girlfriends, and even a full-body sketch of a woman who didn't know which one it was.
"Can't say, this is the goddess he really has a crush on?"
Isn't it said that every man has a dream girl?
Maybe that's it?
Su Xian teased himself a few words, and then continued to scroll down.
