Night has come, and the hustle and bustle of the Imperial Academy has gradually dissipated. More than half of the security forces throughout the college have also been removed, concentrated in key locations such as dormitories and main roads.

After all, manpower is limited, and these soldiers also need to rest.

Sean crept to the flower bed next to the main road, as a second-year student in the Violet Academy, he had the strength of the Silver Fifth Order, and it was more than enough to avoid the eyes and ears of the guards.

There was only one reason that drove the boy to risk being attacked by a "murderer" at night and to act in the academy.

That's the girl who was the victim, the one he liked.

The young man's heart is stimulated by grief, and he naturally does things that even he himself finds incredible.

For example, investigate the murderer yourself and avenge your sweetheart.

For this, he is well prepared.

In addition to inquiring about the crime scene, Sean also got a little inside information about the murderer from other sources. He knew that the murderer might not be human, but he was not afraid.

Because of his enthusiasm and the three green-level equipment he carried, it was also the source of his confidence.

After avoiding the guards along the way, Sean came to the scene of the crime, the small garden.

All the good memories left by the girl in the small garden came back to his heart, and the boy's eyes moistened again.

The boy has tears and doesn't flick, but he hasn't reached the sad place!

Sean sniffled to calm down, then pulled out the green-level dagger pinned to his belt and carefully observed the situation in the garden.

The boy didn't know that all the clues had been recorded and cleaned up by the staff brought by Pamela, and that the garden was the scene of the crime, and almost no students knew about it, and even the place was not cordoned off.

Sean lowered his body in the garden, trying to cling to the cover as close as possible, looking around for possible clues, and at the same time, he also maintained a high degree of awareness of the surrounding magic in case anything happened.

If only I could get something to detect monsters.

There are also regrets.

Suddenly, there was some movement in front of Sean, which made the teenager tense up instantly, although he reduced the movement of his breathing, but he could not suppress the gradually accelerating heartbeat.

Near this small garden, there were only two or three guards in the distance. It stands to reason that there could be nothing else in a small garden......! Is that the murderer?!

Sean was a little confused, whether to stand up straighter and find out what was going on in front of him.

But at this moment, there was a noise in the grass in front of him!

Immediately after, he attached a flame-enhancing magic to the dagger in his hand, ready for battle.

Although he is a student of the Violet Academy, Sean is not a novice in combat!

Sean counted the distance between the nearer and nearer noises and him, silently counting down in his heart. At the moment when the countdown was about to reach zero, he moved!

A lunge stepped forward, and the dagger in his hand was ready to fire.

"Meow~"

In the grass, a cat came out, and when it saw Sean, it barked softly, and then quickly ran sideways to the side.

It's a cat......

Sean had a false alarm, ripped his clothes, let the cool breeze pour in, blew the cold sweat oozing from his body, and the cold feeling made Sean's head sober up a little.

Then Sean lowered his dagger and watched as the cat faded away.

yes, there are often wild cats and wild dogs in the academy, I ...... I guess I was too nervous......

Sean comforted himself, but at the same time, he noticed something unusual.

Although the cat in the distance was still in sight, the cat's figure was getting fainter and fainter...... A few seconds later, the shadow of the entire cat disappeared like this, and in the end, a little light slag that shimmered slightly fluorescent sprinkled down in the place where it should have been a cat.

It's fake!

At this time, Sean's eyes saw a long-haired female shadow on the ground in front of him, gradually approaching him. In other words, there was a woman who was quietly approaching him from behind, without a single movement!

Could it be...... Murderer!?

The dagger in Sean's hand pulled out a knife flower and pointed it towards the woman behind him, and then immediately turned around and took the woman's appearance into his eyes.

This woman looks about the same age as him, her hands are empty, but there is a little trace of magic remnants, and she is tiptoeing, indicating that she came quietly on purpose, and from the face of it, there is actually a faint killing intent......

This person...... It must be the murderer!!

Just as Sean was about to feint and then distance himself, a voice interrupted his movements, and at the same time, made the woman's figure froze slightly, and then moved backwards.

"Okay Phyllis, don't be scary. ”

Barrot appeared from behind and let go of her grip on Phyllis's clothes.

"Oh. Phyllis obediently agreed.

This is...... What's the situation??

Sean looked confused.

Barot sighed, stepped forward, and explained what had just happened to Sean. The gist of it is that after Phyllis found out about the sneaky Sean, she thought she was the murderer, but later found out that it was just an ordinary student, so she had a little prank idea.

After that, he used mimesis to make a cat to attract Sean's attention in the front, and then he went around the back to surprise Sean. However, this surprise was stopped by Barot. Because Barot found that according to Sean's high state of tension, this joke has the potential to hurt people.

Sean nodded silently, and also told the two seniors his purpose.

After a short conversation, the three of them understood that they were not the only ones who were doing it when they went out at night to find the murderer for various reasons. The students of the Imperial College were also more restless than they had imagined.

Among them, some of them are stunned young people who can't figure out the situation at all, and they are purely looking for excitement, some of them want to find the murderer for various reasons, such as Sean, and some of them are people like Phyllis who have figured out the situation, but they are also looking for excitement, and Barrot just doesn't worry about Phyllis alone and follows.

"It's a pity, we've looked around, but we don't have any clues, I guess the academy has already cleaned up the scene. ”

Sean's expression was obviously a little lost.

This kind of loss is probably caused by the anger and remorse for my incompetence because I can't help the person I like when I die.

"So, I think it's better to go back, this matter shouldn't be something that our students can interfere with, and now this link is really dangerous, so it's better to ......"

Barot has always been uneasy about such reckless ventures, and although she has her own guarantee of absolute safety, she cannot guarantee the safety of her companions.

If you really encounter the murderer, according to Su Wen's words, it will be a "quite dangerous" thing. Barot didn't know why Su Wen said this, but she still believed in the danger of the murderer.

Can Edgar, who can see through Ellie's murderer, not be dangerous?

"It's okay, it's not ...... tomorrow anyway," Phyllis said lightly, but halfway through her sentence, she came to an abrupt end. For she saw something under the tree in the far side of the garden, and moved...... Immediately after that, there is the second and third strokes......

Following Phyllis's eyes, Barot and Sean also looked over.

Over there, a humanoid black shadow was walking towards them step by step, and its speed was getting faster and faster......
