Chapter 218: Bloody Footprints
[Emperor Xuanlie: I have never seen such a cruel murderer, human beings are really complex and a little unpredictable. 】
"Ah, that's it! This time the library lit up. ”
Zhu Huan tinkered with the side for a long time, and finally succeeded in turning the dark library into a bright library.
"Hey, you see a dark shadow running over on the third floor!"
Emperor Xuan Lie happened to hear Zhu Huan's words, so he turned his head to look at the library beside him, and when he looked up, he saw a black shadow printed on the window on the third floor, which flashed very quickly.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look."
Xue Liyue looked up almost at the same time as Emperor Xuanlie, so he also saw a fleeting black shadow, but that figure seemed to be a woman?
"Uh-huh, good!"
Zhu Huan raised his head a little slowly, he didn't see the black shadow that Emperor Xuan Lie said, hearing them say this, he felt even more uneasy in his heart.
The three of them then cautiously entered the library, but of course they did not go back and did not enter through the main entrance.
Instead, they crept in through a window on the first floor, and the spirit pattern quietly opened and hid their breath.
"Do you smell a breath ... A very pungent smell of blood? ”
Emperor Xuan Lie was a phoenix after all, his sense of smell was different from ordinary people, and when he had just entered the library and had not walked a few steps, he sniffed vigorously, and immediately frowned.
"The smell of blood?"
Xue Liyue and Zhu Huan were a little puzzled, and the two of them also sniffed carefully fiercely, but they didn't smell the bloody smell that Emperor Xuan Lie said, but at this time, they didn't believe that Emperor Xuan Lie would make such a joke.
Subconsciously, a short sword had quietly condensed from Xue Liyue's right hand, and the sound of 'crackling' electricity broke the silence in the library.
Subsequently, Zhu Huan didn't know when he was already holding his tiger spear, and his face was full of vigilance.
In this way, the three of them slowly looked around and came to the hall on the first floor.
"In this way, let's divide the work of the three of us, I'll go and see the situation of the guards, and the two of you will see if there is any situation along the way, and then quietly go to the third floor to investigate."
Zhu Huan was suddenly a little scared to go to the third floor, he was afraid that it was really the way he saw his sister before, he was afraid that his sister was really a murderer, so he thought of this idea.
"Okay, be careful yourself. We'll meet upstairs later. ”
Xue Liyue agreed without much thought, he was now a little eager to catch the murderer and ask about Xiao Ran's whereabouts.
"Uh-huh."
---------------------------
"Didn't the lights in this library just go out? Why is it lit up again? Hey, you see there's somebody there! ”
Feng Li and Mo Lingqing also hurried to the library, and the two paused at the door for a moment, and looked around to make sure that there was no danger before continuing to move forward.
"Let's go, go over and have a look."
Mo Lingqing naturally saw that there seemed to be a figure at the door, and he guessed that it would be someone guarding the door?
"Hey, Zhu Huan? How are you? ”
Feng Li was a little surprised when he finally saw who the person in front of him was, but he was half relieved in his heart.
This Zhu Huan, although she doesn't like his temper very much, he is still very powerful, at least much more reliable than Mo Lingqing, who is unknown next to him.
She was really afraid that she would meet the murderer she had said before, and she wasn't sure if her strength could save her life, and she still needed to find a talisman.
"Feng Li, Mo Lingqing? Why are you two here? ”
Zhu Huan heard someone calling him, he turned his head suddenly, and after seeing the person who came, he was even more surprised, could it be that these two people were also arranged by that Xue Yue?
So when my sister just returned to the dormitory, was she discovered?
"Ah, we...
Feng Li suddenly choked for a while, it didn't seem good if she said that she was going to look for something secretly, she forgot that she shouldn't be here at this time.
"She couldn't sleep, I came to accompany her out to breathe, I was walking around, and suddenly I heard a movement here, so we rushed over to see the situation, is there something going on here?"
Mo Lingqing looked at Feng Li, who was a little panicked, and sighed silently in his heart, he took a step forward, getting closer to Feng Li, lying without blushing and heartbeat, and directly hugged Feng Li and sent her back to his arms.
This time, Feng Li was completely stunned, her brain seemed to be completely unable to react, and she secretly looked up at Mo Lingqing in a daze, this guy actually openly took advantage of himself?
"Oh? Is that so? ”
Zhu Huan obviously didn't believe it, how could he come out in the middle of the night to wander around? How could it be such a coincidence?
"Ah, yes, yes. But why are you here, can't the president sleep? ”
Feng Li felt Zhu Huan's uncertain tone, and hurriedly showed a very sure smile and responded to Zhu Huan.
However, Feng Li also felt the warmth of a man's arms for the first time, and she usually only had her sister's arms soft and comfortable.
She couldn't have imagined that Mo Lingqing, who usually looked a little stunned and a little arrogant like a little cold, still had such a hard and warm embrace, for a while she seemed to be fascinated, and rubbed into Mo Lingqing's arms.
This made Mo Lingqing a little surprised, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, this was drilled into it by yourself.
Zhu Huan looked at the interaction between the two in front of him, and couldn't help but look away, he didn't investigate why they appeared here, and now one more person in this situation is considered a little more power?
Perhaps, they can also be scapegoats for their sisters.
"Ahem... After all, I am the president of the student union, and what happened to those students on duty last night, I can't let them be alone tonight, so I will be on duty again.
Like you, I heard movement in the library and came to check it out. It was suddenly pitch black, but I restored the lighting here. Emperor Xuan Lie and Xue Yue are upstairs, since you are here, come with me to the guardhouse. ”
Zhu Huan coughed a few times, asked the two people in front of him to pay attention to their behavior, and then began to explain the situation roughly.
"Ah, yes."
Feng Li realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran away from Mo Lingqing's embrace, turned around and walked directly towards the guard room, her face began to burn, how could she have such a reaction?
---------------------------
"Here it is... Is this bloodstained? And it's not dry yet! ”
Emperor Xuan Lie sniffed vigorously again, and as the two of them got closer to the third floor, he could feel the smell of blood getting stronger.
Then, leaving a thin liquid in the middle of the stairs, he stopped curiously and reached out to touch it directly, and sniffed it carefully, confirmed that it was bloodstains, and quietly told Xue Liyue on the side.
"Let's be careful, it's very likely that the murderer is still hiding somewhere."
Xue Liyue nodded, he could smell the strong smell of blood now, it is estimated that some students who stayed in the library to study have been killed, they must be careful.
"Uh-huh."
Emperor Xuan Lie also entered a state of alert, and the two of them quietly came to the third floor from the side very tacitly, and soon they found cover first, squatting down and secretly observing the entire floor.
They didn't notice anything unusual, and there was no figure, and then the two looked at each other and walked deeper together.
The further he went, the stronger the smell of blood became, making Emperor Xuanlie want to vomit, but Xue Liyue just frowned, the underground of the tombstone he had gone to with Xiran before, the smell there was even stronger and pungent than here, which was disgusting.
"This... We're a step too late... ”
Emperor Xuan Lie slowly saw the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but freeze in place, he had never seen such a tragic death, and he suddenly felt that his steps were very heavy.
Although he is not a Terran, he has already developed feelings for playing the Terran for so long, and now it is still difficult for him to accept it for a while when he sees these students die so tragically in front of him.
"We're actually early. The bones of those officers on duty last night were gone, and today it may be because we came quickly that the murderer did not deal with it in time and fled in a hurry. ”
Xue Liyue didn't have any expression on his face, because it wasn't the first time he had seen him, so he got used to it faster than Emperor Xuan Lie and calmed down faster.
"Then he will definitely not be able to run far, I will chase him, I must catch the murderer and return the lives of these tragically dead classmates!"
Emperor Xuan Lie listened to Xue Liyue's words, and immediately wanted to go to the window where he had just seen the black shadow, he found the footprints of the suspected murderer without much effort, and then he wanted to follow the footprints, but at the last moment, Xue Liyue grabbed his arm.
"Don't go."
"Can you watch your own people being brutally murdered like this? You're just letting the murderer get away with it? ”
Emperor Xuan Lie turned his head, he didn't understand why Xue Liyue was holding him back.
"Don't you think something is wrong? Yesterday's killer was able to erase all traces and restore them to their original state, almost as if nothing had ever happened. But today ...
Why didn't this murderer kill us patrols, but instead came to the library to kill people?
And how can such a careful person leave such obvious footprints and wait for you to catch him? ”
Xue Liyue was unusually calm at this time, he always felt that the appearance of this footprint was like a trap, and it was very likely that at the end of the footprint was a game set by those bad guys.
"You come down first, let's find out if there are any other clues here, this matter must be discussed with the headmaster. We're afraid we won't be able to catch him again tonight. ”
Xue Liyue saw Emperor Xuan Lie frowning and stunned there, as if he hadn't reacted yet, so he added another sentence, and directly dragged down someone who was already standing on the window frame and was about to jump down.
"What you said ... It seems to make sense. ”
Emperor Xuan Lie reacted at this time, he took a closer look at these footprints, such obvious bloody footprints, and led to an unknown dark place, there must be a fraud.
"These people ... The state of death varied, but they all died in the same way as those on duty last night, and in the end, they were all drained of the power of Nei Yuan and Xingchen. ”
Xue Liyue had already put away the short sword she was holding in her hand, and then took out a pair of white gloves out of nowhere and put them on her hand, frowned and approached the dead corpses to take a closer look.
"This murderer looks like the same person last night."
