Volume 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 89 Arne Brestous
"When I returned to headquarters, I found that the Department of Security was in a mess, and the Department of Information was very busy because of two cases of such a large number at the same time. Professor Fran took a short break, then continued, "A group of people who went to the school last night to investigate have returned, and there happen to be acquaintances of mine among them. Taking advantage of the chaos outside, I asked him to break up the people who were on duty in the transcription room and sneak in. The transcripts of the two men were placed on the table, as if the minister had not yet had time to read them. Due to time constraints, I can only take a general view...... Here's a rough rundown of the transcript: My team of Roy, Christie, and Finn and I were ordered to escort the werewolf back to Krivari after arresting the werewolf who had recently been frequently wounding people and causing the death of two Security Department personnel in the line of duty. Last night it was sunny and the moon was bright. It was about two o'clock in the middle of the night and we marched to the woods, less than twenty kilometers from the city of Krivari. Roy and I sat in front of the car, while Christie and Finn guarded the rear. Just then, a carriage with the logo of the Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry suddenly drove up. Roy and I both thought it was strange that if something terrible hadn't happened, no one would have been in or out of the school gate after nine o'clock in the evening, so we stopped and stopped it to find out what was going on. Strangely, the carriage stopped, but no one came out of it. Roy and I said hello to Christy and Finn, who were sitting in the back, and got out of the car to check on the ...... Sitting in the carriage was a young man who looked like a student, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a black robe with a hood on his head. I smelled a faint smell of blood, and asked him who he was, if he was injured, why he was in such a place at this time, and where he was going in the carriage. But he didn't say a word, leaned his head on the carriage, and stared straight at the roof of the car. I also looked up and saw that there was nothing unusual, so I asked the question again, but he still ignored it. I was a little annoyed and tried to pull him out of the carriage, but as soon as I reached out my hand, Roy suddenly stopped me, his eyes fixed on his legs, and he looked a little nervous. I also looked closely, and by the moonlight, I saw that his calves and feet, which were not covered by his robes, were covered with blood. I was also taken aback, because the blood did not look like his own, but was splashed on him. Roy and I both realized that something was wrong, so we quickly took out our wand and ordered him to get out of the car, but at that moment, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Roy and me, and then I felt my consciousness start to blur, and then I didn't know anything......"
"This!" Alan and Riel were startled at this, interrupting Professor Fran. They both realized that they had heard similar descriptions somewhere, and they looked at each other for a long time before they remembered, "Kelly has seen something like this!"
"Kelly?" asked Professor Fran.
"Oh...... It's okay, please continue. Alan prevaricated.
"Hmm...... The second half of the transcript reads: When I came to my senses, I found that Roy and I had returned to our own carriage, that the barrier that had been used to trap the werewolves had been lifted, and that the hooded boy was kneeling near the wheels and screaming heartbreakingly...... My mind was in turmoil, because the barrier was set by Roy, and it was a unique barrier that only he knew how to unravel. I looked at Roy and saw that he was also surprised, and had no idea what was going on. Then I heard Christie shout, 'Roy, what are you doing, why are you freeing it out?', but Roy looked at the wand in his hand, confused, as if he didn't know anything. At this point, the werewolf regained consciousness, smashed the cage that held it and ran out, leaving Christie and Finn defense...... We don't have much chance of winning a head-on confrontation with a werewolf, especially this werewolf, who is in the prime of life, agile and cunning, and our elemental magic can't hurt it at all, and it took a lot of trouble to catch it...... Roy and I were also going to work with them in a front-and-back attack. But just then, the boy stopped screaming, got up from the ground, walked up to the werewolf, whispered something to it, and walked over to Christie and Finn. Roy and I realized that he and the werewolves might be in a group, and tried to preempt them when they were defenseless, but strangely, I saw Christy and Finn slowly withdraw their defensive stance and stand next to the teenager. The two of us were taken aback, and in a panic, we had to focus on attacking the werewolf first, but Roy's and I's fire elemental magic was easily dissolved by Christie, and we realized that they seemed to be controlled by the boy using some kind of magic spell...... At this time, the werewolf also slowly approached this side, and Roy and I didn't have time to think about it, so we hurriedly got into the young man's carriage and turned around and ran. The werewolf wanted to chase after him, but luckily he was kept in the barrier and lacked physical strength, which allowed us to escape...... But when we looked back, we saw that Christie and Finn were both unconscious and lying on the ground, being bitten by the werewolf......" Professor Fran said at this point and paused to look at Alyssa, "That's all there was to one of them. ”
Alyssa couldn't stop crying when she heard this, and Professor Fran had to help her wipe her tears while stroking her hand, and although she could see that she wanted to cry too, she held back.
After a while, Alyssa finally stopped crying, and Professor Fran added, "Because of the time constraints, I only have time to see this one." However, since they are two brothers and are present at the same time, it is certain that the content of the other person's speech will not be too different......"
I couldn't calm down, I still couldn't accept the fact that Christie just left, and my mind was full of her former voice and smile, so I went to the head of security to confirm the matter. "But he wasn't in the office, and I waited until late afternoon for him to come back from outside...... He also looked anxious, and the first thing he said when he saw me was, 'Monina just came to me in the morning, and you're here again!' If you have anything you want to ask, just ask her, she knows what is going on better than I do!' Although he seemed impatient, when I pressed him he told me: 'We have sent everyone out to search for Arne Brestous, and we will give you an account once he is apprehended.' ”
That is to say...... The boy's name is Arne Burresto?" Alan was the first to react.
"That's right, after checking it out afterwards, he was Arne Burrestu, who was in the third-year fire elemental department at the time. ”
"But why did the Department of Security insist that he had committed both cases?"
"Because after the security department counted the identity of the school victim, it found that he was the only one of the students whose whereabouts were unknown, and it was consistent with the survivor's account and the content of the transcript of the two men. ”
"I see......," Alan nodded, "It does seem to have something to do with him." ”
But fourteen years have passed, and no one has found the whereabouts of Burestu...... It is unknown what kind of magic the boy used to do such a horrific thing, why he did it, and where he is now...... He disappeared like air after committing these two shocking crimes...... "Professor Fran muttered.
"When I came home that night, Monina had already left with Alyssa, leaving me only a note saying that no one could help her in this matter and that she would bring the killer to justice herself. "I went to the Minister of Security several times afterwards...... At first, he was firm and vowed that he would find the murderer, but within two days, there was a 180-degree turn, and he suddenly told me that these two cases might not be pursued further...... I was shocked, and after asking my acquaintance in private, I learned that this Burestu didn't know who the divine was, and the people who went out to carry out the two cases basically disappeared or died mysteriously as soon as they found the slightest clue about him...... It is rumored that he has strange special powers and can kill people invisibly, so everyone in the security department is in danger, and no one dares to take over this case anymore...... After a meeting of all ministers, the headquarters also voted to stop causing riots in the crowd and to preserve the prestige of the association, and the two cases were finally closed as accidental magical accidents...... The records of the two men were also destroyed, and all those involved in the two cases were gag and removed from all positions...... I was also forced to resign because of this incident, and I was forced to resign because of my opposition to the association's practices, and I did not come here to teach until a few years ago. ”
"Uh...... Professor, there's something I'd like to ask you. Alan said suddenly when he heard this.
"What's the matter? ”
"Have you ever heard of a rumored forbidden magic?"
"What forbidden magic?" Professor Fran was confused.
"That's it...... Belch...... For example, selling one's soul to a demon can temporarily control people's hearts......" Remembering what old Adrian had told him, Alan said hesitantly.
"Nonsense! Where is the devil! I've lived so old and I've never heard of such magic!" Professor Fran rebuked, suspecting that Alan was talking nonsense.
"Uh...... I'm sorry, Professor...... I just heard about ......" Alan hastened to apologize.
"Professor, do you know what the names of the two brothers were when they teamed up with my parents, and where they went after that?" asked Alyssa suddenly.
"Well, I don't know what happened to them after that, as for the name, there is the person's autograph under the transcript...... But because I was in a hurry and time had passed, I ......," said Professor Fran, touching his forehead.
Alan glanced at Alyssa and realized what she was thinking. After knowing the name, if you find the two people who were present at the time, maybe you can learn more about the truth of the matter.
But they waited left and right, and Professor Fran didn't remember it for a long time. As the clock ticked by, just when they had almost lost any hope, Professor Fran suddenly shouted, "Ah! I remember...... The signatory's name is ...... Storey!"
