The Academy of Ichrites was still in a hazy silence.

The dawn was just beginning to illuminate the serene world from the horizon, the blue-gray of the distant sky to the pale pink of the ground, fading like paint dripping into water.

At six o'clock in the morning on this Tuesday, Ranch, Hubertian, and Frey returned to school and had breakfast together, and the three of them walked along the wide road of the academy to the dormitory building of the Sage's Academy.

The light in the lobby on the first floor is dim and warm, and the dormitory manager is leaning on the soft cushions behind the workbench in the lobby, holding a book in his hand, to relieve the sleepiness of waking up in the morning.

At this point in time, most of the students were still asleep, and only a few early risers were quietly coming out of the dorms.

"Then let's take a break and go to the student union together in the afternoon."

Ranch said as he looked at Huber at the fork in the road.

"Okay."

Huberian nodded, and parted ways with Ranch and Frey.

Ranch then led Frey to his dormitory.

On the hallway carpet on the first floor of the dormitory, Ranch and Frey were walking leisurely.

The whispered laughter of the two echoed through the empty hallway, the dormitory doors on either side were tightly closed, as quiet as breathing creatures, and behind each door were small worlds with countless stories and dreams.

The men's dormitory is in the front building, and the girls' dormitory is in the back building, which is not far from each other.

Ranch had already lent the Great Love Poet to Hubertarian, and when Huber arrived at the dormitory, he called the Great Love Poet, and the Great Love Poet would come out on his own.

The Great Love Poet knows magic cards too well, and as long as Ranch lifts the only summoning restriction he can do to the Great Love Poet, the Great Love Poet can even summon himself and unsummon himself, which is something that ordinary summons can't do.

And Frey will follow Ranch this morning, temporarily to Ranch's dormitory, one to take the wind, one to sleep, three hours of rest each.

Early in the morning, the student council was not open, and they had nothing else to do.

Although this [Templar Villain's Dinner] was not a 12-hour movie world like the [Purgatory Corridor Academy], with a total of 5 days, they got up very early today as the last morning.

And I traveled to other places for several days, and I was really tired when I just came back, and I just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

They stopped at a door, and Ranch pulled out the key, inserted the lock, and with a slight turn, opened the door and led Frey into his dorm room.

The living room is warmer than the hallway, and the soft sofa and minimalist coffee table sit quietly together, with a few books and a set of glass cutlery.

"It's hard to catch the ghost this time."

Frey said as he sat on the couch with his hands folded and frowned.

His hunter instinct has always been on the spot.

Along the way of the trio's seemingly unsuspecting journey, Frey did not catch the slightest sign of being followed or even noticed.

The two trappers did not put any pressure on Huberian in order to let Huberian, who was the bait, rest in peace.

Many things are only discussed when the two of them are alone.

"At present, it seems that the other party must be completely sure before he can attack Huberian, if we lure or investigate, it will arouse the vigilance of the other party."

Ranchi poured two glasses of lemonade and honey water, handed one to Frey, and sat down on the couch next to him.

If they take the initiative, such as carrying out compulsory anti-cult education on the academic visiting team of the Kingdom of Auroran, this kind of behavior is obviously too purposeful, just like they already know that there are resurrection cultists in the team, the resurrection church will definitely realize that it is the elite cultist Stisera who was captured in the shadow world who leaked information, causing Stisera to be frantically retaliated by the resurrection church even if he is in prison.

Stisella gambled her life to give the information to Ranchi, and Ranchi would naturally do her best to protect her.

"So you still want to fish with Huberian?"

Frey took a sip of lemonade and honey water, the refreshing coldness moistened his throat, which was very much to his liking.

Adding a little honey to the lemonade will not make people feel sour, and the sweetness of the original honey is just enough for the lemon to cushion it, just like a perfect partner.

"Fishing law enforcement is the safest, because we have too few details of the intelligence this time, do you think-"

Ranch put down the mug in his hand and crossed his fingers to give Frey examples one by one,

"For example, the killer this time has completed self-hypnosis in advance, and he is a perfect normal student before self-activation by specific means, so we can't catch the killer no matter how we take the initiative in this world, we will only startle the snake."

This is the difference between the present world and the shadow world, if you enter the shadow world with deep self-hypnosis, it is likely that you will not be able to solve it at all in the face of danger, and there will be a huge risk, and the killer in this world has already disguised himself as a normal person and came to the safe Hutton Kingdom, even if he does not solve the self-hypnosis, there will be no threat of death.

"Or, if the enemy has some very troublesome unknown magic, you can design some strange traps."

"To take the simplest example, if the enemy is proficient in disguise or disguise, such as the [Blood Phantom], a magic that can be mimicked."

"First of all, the killer can find a way to get the information about the first-year girl in the dormitory next door to Huberian from the inner ghost in the Ichrita Academy, and then attack the innocent girl first, tricking her away and locking her up. Next, he disguised himself as the victim girl and lived next door to Huberian, and then his own deity disappeared for no reason, creating signs that one of the academic visiting team had disappeared out of thin air, attracting the school's attention to investigate the disappearance of the students in the Kingdom of Auroran, and then the actual killer was already waiting for a disembarkation in a place very close to Huberian that could make her defenseless. ”

"Or you can wait until a time when Hubert Ann can't have an alibi, directly disguise herself as Hubertyan, and then commit a murder as Hubertyan, blame Hubertarian, and make her a suspect to be investigated by the police station and temporarily detained, so that she can be isolated from the school and us, and then while she is in prison awaiting trial and needs absolute avoidance, it is good to rely on some covert operations and vicious means to kill her."

"And ......"

"Enough is enough."

Frey hurriedly raised his hand and stopped Lanch.

"I've identified at least one good thing now."

Frey said with a serious expression.

"What?"

Lanch asked, confused.

He didn't know what blind spot Frey had discovered in a moment.

"Thankfully, you weren't the one who came to kill Huberian."

Frey said, staring at Lanch.

“……”

Lanqi was slightly stunned and silent for a moment,

"How could I possibly kill Huber Ann!"

He was very serious about the situation, and Frey even played with him.

"If the Resurrection Church hires you to kill Huberian, then Huberian's ten lives will not be enough."

Frey leaned back on the couch and laughed, thinking it was funny for Ranch to look like this.

However, Frey soon returned to his senses.

This time, not only does it have to protect Huber and catch the cultists, but also create the illusion that "they caught it by luck", and here comes the difficulty.

Although it was safe for the Great Love Poet and Huberian to stay together for a short time, Frey and Ranch could rush over there if something went wrong.

But the problem is that if the two of them get too close to Hugh Baien, they might scare the big fish away.

They had just returned from the Shadow World today, and it was reasonable that Ranch and Frey were living in the Sage's House dormitory.

If the two of them lived in the Sage's House every day, there was a chance that the killer who originally planned to commit the murder would simply abandon the plan.

But too far away from Huberian, Huberian's situation will become dangerous again.

They would rather not catch a big fish than let Hubertian really be in danger as bait.

The two of them were now deciding what kind of place they should hide and fish.

"Looks like I'm going to have to find a way to play disappear."

Frey suggested.

As soon as he disappears from the map, everything will be fine.

"Actually, there is a solution......

Lanch muttered,

"I'll try it, and if I can negotiate it, it'll be perfect."

But Ranch's tone was decidedly unconfident.

If Huberian could live with Taria, he and Frey would be able to stay away from Huberian.

Then it's good to wait for the killer to go to Tai Sui's head to break ground.

It's a pity that now Talia is not short of money.

It's hard to impress Talia with money alone.

There is nothing good on Ranchi that he can trade with her for the time being.

The main thing is that Talia is very reluctant to get around others and will never allow any strangers to stay in her private space.

Letting Huber live in Taria's house almost violated Taria's absolute bottom line.

"I hope she is in a better mood today."

Ranch leaned back on the couch and muttered as he tilted his head.

Anyway, after taking care of the student council this afternoon, he decided to take Hugh Baiann to meet Talia at the Catboss restaurant.

Although according to Ranchi's understanding of Talia, there is a ninety percent probability that Talia will be coldly rejected, making Talia hate Huberian and hate herself at the same time.

But sometimes Talia has an inexplicable gentle side, her temper is like the weather, and he can't guess what tomorrow will be like.
