Chapter 152: Serial Killings
If Kayla was the mysterious person, it would be impossible for her to have a happy tryst with herself, or even run around the shopping street lively.
It's too unbelievable, of course, all this may be just a coincidence, and it may just be my own worries, but there is always an unreliable intuition in my heart, and I always feel that Kayla is the mysterious person in the cloak.
The morning light outside the window reflected on the score sheet on the table, and Wu once again turned his gaze back to the score sheet.
At this point, Nicks inadvertently changed the topic and asked Wu curiously:
"But when has this been, why hasn't the Night Pavilion come back yet? It should be easy for him to kill a blind human, right? ”
"Yes, but I'm sure the Night Pavilion has its own agenda."
"Calculations?"
Another incomprehensible explanation, Wu temporarily put aside the troubles just now, and guessed the current progress of the Night Pavilion. There was a hint of satisfaction and expectation in his calm eyes, and it seemed that all the actions of the Night Pavilion had already been predicted.
"The reason why I gave the order to Lord Ye that day to 'seize the head of the marquis' was purely a pretense, and I did not say it to my face."
"Disguise? What is the significance of your doing this? ”
"It's very simple, I believe that according to the observation of the Night Pavilion, you should also be aware that the dean of this academy, also known as 'Froll', seems to be helping us to eliminate the enemy, but in fact, her various behaviors have put a big question mark on her position."
"Did you deliberately give a false order just to deceive Flore, when in fact you didn't mean to kill the Marquis?"
Wu nodded, responding to Knicks's speculation in silence.
"So what exactly do you want the Night Pavilion to do? Isn't it possible that you are going to capture the blind marquis? ”
"Not exactly. To be honest, I'm just giving this order to test the Night's power. After being scolded by me that day, it seemed that the Night Pavilion did not dare to act arbitrarily anymore, which was certainly a good thing for me, and there was no need to worry about what these uncontrolled gods would do. But all this is just my speculation, in fact, although the Night Pavilion seems to be restrained, the autonomy is still insufficient. ”
"So this order of yours is actually just to let the Night Pavilion discern the matter for itself and act again?"
"Well, so to speak. Although everything is a gamble, the Night Pavilion has not yet returned, and aside from the impossible thing that happened to him, it seems that he is now relying on his own mind to find the truth for himself. ”
It was hard to hide the satisfaction of the emotion, and Nicks, who felt some admiration for this human being, felt this emotion thoroughly. When we met for the first time, I originally thought that Wu was just a prince who didn't know anything about the world, but I didn't expect that in that weak appearance, there was valuable vision and courage.
Returning to the topic, Nicks already understood the purpose of Wu's order, but he didn't understand why he had deceived Floll.
"But then again, why did you give false orders in front of that woman, what did that woman do to make you so jealous?"
This question seems to have been expected by Wu for a long time, and he directly expressed his analysis at the moment of receiving the problem.
"When I first asked Frol for information about the Black Snake, I just wanted to know about the bad things that the Black Snake had done in Elliel over the years, but the information she gave me was the distribution and power of the Black Snake's stronghold, which was the scroll that Frol gave me in the first place. I was shocked at the moment of the visit, the content was so detailed, it didn't look like the information sent to the undercover agent to analyze, but it seemed like the inside story that I knew from the beginning. ”
"Oh?"
The Knicks, who suddenly came to his senses, let out an exclamation full of interest. But while he was interested, the Knicks also expressed his opinion neutrally.
"But that woman doesn't seem to be weak, maybe she relied on her own strength to dig out these insiders, shouldn't it be strange?"
"Well, it does seem like she took the information herself, but if you think about it this way, things are not quite right. Because since she has such strength, why doesn't she eliminate these forces herself? ”
"Uh...... Could it be that the other party's power is too large for her to effectively clean it up alone? ”
"That's what I thought at first, but during a tryst with Kayla in the store yesterday, I had an epiphany. In the town of Eliel, except for the shops outside the St. Goethe's Academy, which belonged to Frol's power, the rest of the area was still in the palm of the Black Snake's hand. According to what Nine Dog Luo said earlier, 'this whole circle of shops was originally a force belonging to the St. Goethe's Wizarding Academy, and it was also under the protection of Flor'. In other words, this Pure Land was not taken from the hands of the Black Snake. ”
That is to say...... She didn't try to snatch the power of Jiugou Luo from the other party's hands at all, but she kept getting information from the enemy, and it was without any confrontation? ”
At this point, the crux of everything is that the Knicks will eventually be unable to say a reason, and the original neutral view will gradually fall into Wu's speculation.
The speculations of the two overlapped - perhaps Frol's power belonged to the Black Snake, and the identity of the head of the academy was just an illusion.
At this moment, Nix's question stepped into the same thinking as Wu, and he questioned again.
"But isn't that woman a friend of Jiugou Luo? It is impossible for Jiugou Luo not to know about this matter, and if she has any friendly relationship with Black Snake, there is no reason for her to suppress the price level of the store circle, or even protect the students in the academy? Besides, there's no reason for her to entrust you with the removal of the Black Snake's power? ”
A series of questions made Wu laugh out loud, and replied in a helpless and funny heart:
"You see, that's why I've been so bothered these days. The reason why I am troubled is that I am unexpectedly trapped in the same place by these unreasonable facts, and the questions you are talking about are exactly the ones I have not understood before, so you should understand them, right? ”
"This ......"
"All in all, while I wanted to fix everything here as quickly as possible, the truth was more complicated than I thought. I think Nine Dogs knows these things, and although he seems to be uninhibited and crazy, he is actually an unexpectedly intelligent person, which can be seen from his ability to control the entire Aynke finance, and his eyes have seen far away. It was not for nothing to believe that he sent me here. ”
At this point, Wu severed the connection with Nix's consciousness, and at the same time, consciousness returned to reality. He glanced at the pocket watch on the table, and before long he stood up, condensed the hellfire in his right hand and approached the robe hanging on the back of the chair, speeding up the drying time.
The damp robe was dried by the fire of hell, and the water molecules evaporated rapidly, and in a short time the robe regained its luster.
After confirming that his clothes were dry, he waved his right hand and put away the hellfire in his palm, quickly put on his robes and picked up the score sheet on the table, and turned around and left the room.
The bell tower outside rang for the first time of the day, and Wu walked alone to the tutor's office on the fourth floor.
The office is filled with a light smell of tea and a strong smell of books.
This is the "2nd Year Tutor Office", which is the common office of each 2nd year tutor.
A large quartz floor is lined with bookcases and desks, and a pantry is set in the deepest part of the office, with a high-end sofa, marble coffee table, and even a lounge chair. The desks are close together, and there is only a wooden partition between the desks, which is a bit lacking in privacy.
Wu's arrival made the teachers present a little repulsed, and all arrogant eyes were cast towards Wu, but Wu didn't care and continued to find his seat.
After searching for a while, Wu finally walked to an empty seat, which was his own seat.
Since I first came to the academy, I have never been here, so naturally I will not have any personal belongings in my seat. The reason is that in his spare time, he either set off to exterminate the power of the black snake, or stayed in the library of the academy for nearly half a day.
As a result, I have been teaching at this college for nearly a week, but I have not yet set foot in this office.
Wu pulled out the wooden chair and checked his seat for anything unusual. At this moment, a familiar voice came from the left side of Wu.
"Huh? Forts, you're finally here? ”
Looking at the source of the sound, the mess felt like a garbage dump compared to his empty seat.
Piles of scrolls were stacked on the floor, the table top was filled with dried ink and brushes that had not been written for a long time, and the entire table was filled with scattered food and empty wine bottles. On a wooden chair was a drunken coat and a shabby silk scarf.
The owner of this small garbage dump is none other than Hans, who is holding a pen to correct the exam papers, and at the same time greeting Wu energetically.
This sloppy appearance, and the undisciplined environment, don't look like a teacher.
"Hello."
Wu chooses to ignore the trash around Hans and greets him cordially.
"I was wondering when you're going to come and make your seat, but I didn't expect you to come."
"yes, but I don't have anything to bring, I'm afraid this empty picture will remain until the end of the semester."
"Ahaha, you're such a simple person, just like me."
Glancing at the garbage heap beside Hans, and then at Hans's smug face, the kind-hearted Wu still chose not to complain about him.
Despite the onlookers of the rest of the office, Hans still smiled heartily and chatted with Wu as if he had deliberately shown it to the other tutors.
Wu chuckled and listened quietly to Hans's laughter as she sat down in the clean chair.
At this moment, as if something had occurred to him, Hans stopped smiling and took out a piece of precious parchment from the pile of books beside him, which presumably seemed to be an announcement from the academy's higher-ups.
Sure enough, only a few lines were written on the entire white parchment, and the degree of waste proved that it was the announcement that conveyed the message.
"By the way, Fortes, this is the announcement made by the head of the academy to all the tutors this morning, and you should be left with it yet."
"Oh? Let me take a look. ”
Wu took the parchment from Hans's hand and looked at the contents of the parchment carefully.
What is this!?
"Recently, there have been a series of killings in many official residences and places, and the major deaths are - the mayor of Elliel, five marquises, and nearly a hundred guards have been killed. The magic used by the killer is known to be 'poison magic', 'bug magic', and 'split magic'. In view of this incident, the tutors in the school are requested to pay attention to the situation of the college and protect the safety of students. Dean Floll – above. ”
Wu whispered silently, looking at the content of the announcement without changing his face.
This Froll, who clearly knew that the murderer was the Night Pavilion, deliberately spread this kind of announcement, what does it mean......
But according to what was written above, couldn't the Night Pavilion see what he was thinking? Could it be that you are too confident......
"Well, I'm done."
Wu suppressed the doubts and worries in his heart, nodded his head with a smile, and returned the parchment in his hand to Hans.
"This murderer feels a bit powerful, not only using unpopular supermaterial magic such as 'poison magic' and 'insect magic', but also using the difficult 'splitting magic', which seems to be a bit tricky."
"yes."
Pretending to be surprised, Wu just nodded in response to Hans's words, his heart full of worry about the actions of the Night Pavilion.
Suddenly, there was a fierce knock on the door of the office.
The door slowly opened, and everyone looked towards the door, only to see Flor walking into the office with Eve.
Froll, shaking her head, seemed to be looking for something. When she saw Wuhou, she smiled smugly.
"Mr. Fortes, please come with me!"
Flor shouted loudly to his seat.
"Hans, it seems that the head of the academy has something to do with me, so I'm missing first."
"Hmmm! There you go. ”
Wu placed the score sheet in a drawer and walked in the direction of Froll.
When Wu walked out of the office door, the worried eyes observed Wu and confirmed that he was safe, and Eve, who was relieved, couldn't help but smile with relief.
Although he knew that Wu's strength would not be defeated by that kind of killer, he would still worry about Wu's safety, and he couldn't sleep anxiously all night, and his mind was full of Wu.
"Is there anything you want me to do? Dean? ”
"Hmmm! You'll find out later. Anyway, come with me to the dean's office. ”
"Yes."
Looking at Flore's weird smile, Wu always had a bad premonition in his heart.
Along the way, the three people who had no topic walked quietly. And Wu noticed Eve beside her, the dark circles under her eyes were as heavy as pandas, and she walked a little swaying.
"Eve, are you unwell?"
"Uh...... Yes! It's nothing. ”
Eve's cheeks flushed slightly, and after taking a deep breath, she continued to walk with feigned energy.
"Haha, Eve's kid didn't sleep until he was worried about you all night, how could it be okay."
"Headmaster!!"
The white cheeks were instantly red, and the tired sleepiness could not withstand the embarrassed emotions, and Eve was instantly full of energy.
"Really...... Speaking of which, did you come to me for last night, Dean? ”
"Unfortunately, it's not. Although I am also interested in last night's killer, what follows is definitely more interesting. ”
"Is it possible...... Night Pavilion? ”
"Horn, that's wrong!"
"Otherwise, what would it be a big deal? Need you to come to me in person? ”
"Didn't I say it, I'll find out when I get to the dean's room."
“……”
Frol's suffocation closed his mouth and remained silent, and quickly followed behind Flor.
When the three of them were about to arrive at the door of the dean's room, a faint quarrel came from inside the door.
Flore slowly opened the door, and the scene that greeted her gave a succinct and powerful explanation for the quarrel.
I saw his student, Caesar, standing with a strong man in a military robe, Kaisa stared proudly at Wu who had just entered the door, while the strong man on the side glared at Wu angrily, as if he already knew him, but the strong man in front of him did not know him at all.
It is worth noting that the brawny man, like Flore, wears a rose badge pinned to his chest, which seems to be a special identification.
"You're finally here, bastard C-class mentor."
A rough shout came out of the strong man's mouth, both in tone and on his face was very ugly.
Outside the door were a number of eavesdropping mentors, including Hans.
The atmosphere in the dean's room was awkward.
The man sitting next to Caesar showed undisguised rage, while Caesar had an arrogant look on his face, leaning on this momentum and glaring at Wu who was standing aside.
He looked like a child who had made a mistake, standing quietly on the sidelines, angry at the man's wrath.
On the contrary, the two people next to Wu were more nervous than the parties. Eve, who looked nervous, and Noah, who was about to cry, were so heavy that they didn't even dare to breathe, and Frol, who was the middleman, sat calmly in his seat, drinking hot tea and planning to watch the show.
When this solemn atmosphere was stalemate for a while, a heavy angry voice roared out first.
"You, a C-level tutor, dare to give our precious son such an embarrassing grade of A-! Who gave you the courage? ”
The brutal roar was about to burst the eardrums of everyone present, so that even the hot tea on the coffee table almost spilled out of the teacup.
This man has a thick mustache, and his black but rough middle part looks a bit like a tramp because of the curly hair, as if the eyes of a fierce lion show murderous aura from time to time, giving Eve and Noah a lot of oppression.
A bulky iron armor covered his sturdy figure, which looked to be more than two hundred centimeters in size and nearly two hundred kilograms in tonnage, which was very suitable for the rude roar. On his upright chest was the same rose badge as Flore's, the second person to wear it since he arrived in the town.
It seems that the two of them should have some relationship.
In the face of the menacing questioning, Wu was not a little afraid, let alone apologized. It's still about being at ease.
"I'm sorry, I think A- is a pretty good grade, I don't know how you and Caesar would be so dissatisfied?"
