I jerked my eyes open. It was already cloudy, foggy, and there was no human figure to be seen a few paces away.

Numbness and coldness rose up the spine, piercing the back of the head like a needle, and the head ached. That's when I found myself sitting in the wet grass, my muscles stiff and my body aching.

What's going on? I tried to remember, but I couldn't remember anything.

Red Pupil ...... Loss of memory...... That should also be April! Why do I ...... too? Don't...... Could it be ...... My heart was beating wildly in my chest, and an ominous premonition spread rapidly, and I made my way to the warehouse.

Aprill lay on the ground, his head and neck hanging limply, and there were two black strangulation marks on his neck.

Someone strangled him! The force was so great that it broke his cervical spine alive!

I trembled and stretched out my hands and gestured at the mouth of his throat, the strangulation marks perfectly matched my palms - I did it, I killed April!

How is this possible? The Red Pupil Technique erased his memory, and that was enough, Aprill was no longer my weakness, killing him would cause unnecessary suspicion, why was I so stupid?

A terrible thought crossed my mind, "The evil spiritual power has always existed in the depths of our hearts, and the Red Pupil Technique only released it, not a little more, not a little less...... April, he knows too much. I decided to make him the first test subject of the Dark Arts, and whether he succeeded or not, he had to keep his mouth shut forever......"

Is this the backlash of black magic? The Red Pupil Technique evokes the power of evil, takes control of my body, releases the malice within, and brutally kills April?

Cold sweat oozed from my forehead, and my heart was so confused that I didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Regret doesn't help, since you have made a mistake, you must make it up as soon as possible. Disposing of April's body was the biggest challenge, and the only thing I could think of was to continue to blame Fresen Bucarem.

It's not a clever idea to get to the kitchen when it's about to dawn, but there's no time to think about it in a hurry.

I cut off April's head with an axe, burned it in a stove to remove the hair, and chopped it into the flesh and bones of the pigs and cows to be used as ingredients for the chowder for the next few days. The purpose of this was to cover up the fact that he was strangled to death. The rest of the corpse was too late to be disposed of in the same way, and I plunged Elvis's short knife into his chest again and again until the blade was firmly stuck in the ribs, and the hilt was covered with blood, and I couldn't hold it steadily.

This probably explains why Fresen abandoned the murder weapon.

Duke Isaac is very shrewd, and whether he can hide it from him is a question, and I am uneasy.

While I was dizzy and busy, a slight sigh suddenly sounded behind me. As if I had been petrified, I bent over and froze in place, and the whole world fell silent in an instant, except for a pounding heart.

"Why did you kill April? We discussed it for a day and a night, and it was almost decided that the missing Fresen Bukalem was the real murderer...... You do this...... It's stupid! ”

That's Priscilla's voice! The bitter taste spread in my mouth, and I slowly straightened up, my bones gurgling like rust. "How did you end up here?" My voice sounded strange, unfamiliar to me.

"Lisa Roita is right, Fresen is dead, and there is another murderer...... But none of us wanted to trust her instincts, and even Stone thought that his son had taken the treasure for himself and had fled. Now I've finally figured it out, everything was orchestrated by you, killing Fresen, colluding with Carben's magicians to infiltrate Bromin's Academy, using him and Zeney to open the secret room, and then brutally killing them, faking the scene of suffocation. ”

"Dino, I didn't expect it to be you—what a surprise!" Priscilla was heartbroken.

I turned around and clenched my fists. She stood at the mouth of the cellar with her left hand on her chest, her face full of sadness, she was so haggard and beautiful, like a strong snow lotus in the ice and snow.

"How do you ...... Will come here? I had nothing to say, so I subconsciously asked again.

"Dino, your plan is not seamless. Although my father had come to a conclusion, I always felt that I had overlooked something, and I couldn't sleep all night...... It wasn't long ago that I suddenly realized that Aprile had lied, that he was a colleague of the murderer, and that he was deliberately misleading us. ”

"What did Aprile say?"

Priscilla looked at me with pity and a complicated expression, "He said that it was a clear lie to witness Zeny and Fresen walk into the library one after the other on the night of the accident! Dino, you taught him these words, this is Bromin in the foggy moon, not in Frenzburg, the fog at night is extremely thick, and it is impossible for him to see all this! ”

Hearing this, I suddenly realized that I couldn't help but sigh softly.
