Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 114 Unfortunate Events
"Let's go back. Thinking of this, Alan suddenly stood up and said.
Riel was stunned: "It's not even eight o'clock yet......"
"There's something I want to confirm. Alan quickly sorted out his textbooks and walked towards the door, "Let's go, it's not too late to read it tomorrow morning...... I can't see anything if I don't figure out the doubts in my mind at this time. ”
"Okay. Riel had no choice but to follow Eren out of the library.
The street lights on campus have been turned on, and students are walking to their dormitories.
Alan looked up at the bell tower and saw that it was just over half past seven, and Will hadn't yet appeared in front of the building.
As they passed the second floor, Alan paid special attention to the movement in the hallway, and found that it was still brightly lit and a little noisy as usual, and there seemed to be a faint sound mixed with little Stewart.
They made it all the way back to the fourth floor and pushed open the door.
Ian was sitting on the edge of his bed reading a book, and was surprised to see them come back so early. However, Alan only nodded at him, and he didn't ask anything more, and continued to look down at the book.
Ivan was not in the room.
"You go and check your bed and table to see if there's anything missing...... Or something suspicious over. Alan whispered as he lit the magic lamp at the head of the bed.
"Hmm. Riel agreed, and began to examine it carefully.
Alan also began to scrutinize his side.
The small table at the head of their bed had no drawers, and since it was usually only used for some commonly used books and magic lamps, it was easy to see if there was anything superfluous.
There was nothing special on their beds, pillows, quilts, sheets, mattresses, and it was clear if there was anything extra.
Alan lifted the quilt, touched the underside of the pillow, and finally lifted the mattress again, and after a few careful inspections, he was sure that nothing was missing, and no superfluous suspicious items were found. And their beds are close to the floor, making it impossible to hide things under them.
"Nothing less, nothing more. At this time, Riel also finished checking and whispered to him.
"That's weird...... It shouldn't be......" Alan frowned, staring at the door.
"Could it be that you're mistaken?" Riel whispered again, "I know Ivan has been hating us lately, but I don't think there's a reason for him to touch our stuff......"
Alan didn't say anything after hearing this, just shook his head and thought, "His sneaky look and panicked expression...... Am I really mistaken?"
He sat down on the edge of the bed, and thought for a long time, until the clock struck eight o'clock, and he sighed, and dismissed the idea of continuing the investigation.
"Too much time has been wasted on such boring little things...... Probably as Riel said, there have been so many strange things that have happened lately, so I'm a little suspicious......" Alan shook his head again, moved the magic lamp to his side, and reopened the textbook.
Alan is still looking forward to tomorrow's class, firstly, he is looking forward to how many points he can get, and secondly, he is a little looking forward to seeing Cynthia. He had a vague feeling that as long as he was in class with Cynthia, it was always easy for good things to happen.
Since Riel didn't have to go to class tomorrow, he simply went to bed after a brief review.
Ivan came back late today.
By the time Alan had finished all his preparations, it was already past nine o'clock, and as soon as he closed his textbook, he heard the door squeak open, and Ivan came in from outside, his face still looking a little angry.
Alan glanced at him, but he lowered his head, said nothing, and went straight back to his bedside.
"I don't know how long this cold relationship will last. Alan thought, then sighed helplessly and turned off the light.
Nothing was said all night.
Before dawn the next day, Alan was woken up by a loud "bang", as if someone had slammed the door and went out. He got up and glanced over to the Raven brothers, and saw that Ian was poking his head out at him, smiling awkwardly. Alan instantly understood: it was Ivan who had gotten up and gone out.
However, Riel still slept deeply as usual, and had no intention of waking up.
Alan was completely sleepy, so he went to the balcony to exercise.
Speaking of their building, it's also strange, I don't know what kind of spatial magic has been applied, from the outside, each floor is just a fully enclosed large room, but they can clearly see the outside from the inside, and there is a narrow balcony for them to dry their clothes, or do some simple morning exercises.
"Probably something like a disguise charm...... And if I'm standing on the balcony, can Riel see me from outside?" an idea popped into Alan's head, and he even wanted to find out. But soon he smiled and dispelled the idea, and went back to the house and lit the magic lamp.
"Let's get up early today and finish the homework left over from the previous two days. Alan thought, "If you continue to pile up like this, it will be miserable if you don't turn in your homework by then." ”
He summed it up a little, so far he still has four classes to complete, namely the enchantment magic class, the thunder element magic class, the wind element magic class and the space-time magic class, fortunately Professor Watson didn't leave homework for the students who took that course yesterday, otherwise if they were to draw some sketches of the human body structure with the students of the major, then Alan probably won't be able to hand in the homework this Sunday, because he has almost no talent in this regard, just like singing.
All morning, Alan spent the whole morning doing his homework in his room, except for a quick breakfast at the restaurant with Riel.
After breakfast, Riel couldn't contain his restlessness and began to wander aimlessly around the school.
Ian went to the library.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
When the bell struck eleven, Alan had just finished his homework for the Thunder and Wind Elemental Magic classes, and the remaining two were ready to be saved for tomorrow.
"I don't know if Riel is coming back soon. Alan thought as he stretched.
He had a rumbling stomach and had only eaten a little fruit salad in the morning and had done his homework all morning, so he was hungry very early today.
But just then, I heard a "squeak", and Rare pushed the door in.
"You're back just in time, I'm wondering if I should go to the restaurant to eat first, I'm a little hungry and can't stand it......" After completing two homework in one go, Alan seemed to be in a good mood. However, when he took a closer look at Riel, he realized that Riel did not come in as alive as before, and walked in with a slight limp.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Allen.
"I accidentally got my foot......" Riel said, pouting.
"How can you be so careless. ”
"I don't know what's going on...... "Riel carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, his face sad, "as if he tripped over something while going up the stairs." ”
"Stumbled?" Alan asked, a little curious, "where?"
"The second floor goes to the corner from the third floor...... But luckily there was a carpet and there was no bleeding except for a little pain in the ankle. ”
"Second floor?" Alan was inexplicably a little alert at the mention of this place.
"Do you suspect that the group on the second floor is playing a prank?" Rare asked, looking at Allen, "I thought so at first, but there was no one around at the moment. ”
"Okay......" Alan nodded slightly, "And how are you feeling now?"
"It doesn't seem like a big deal...... It's not as serious as you think. Riel tried to twist his ankle, then stood up and walked a few steps, "It's okay to take a little rest, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go out for a few days......"
"Maybe it's because God is wasting too much time and reminding you to stay in the house and read. Looking at Riel's unwillingness, Alan quipped.
"Maybe...... "Riel shrugged and lay down on the bed, "Thankfully, my mom got me medicine for this sprain...... But I didn't want to bring it yet, I hated the smell. ”
After resting for about half an hour, Riel took off his shoes, applied some ointment and felt that it was fine, and then went to the restaurant for lunch with Alan.
As he passed the corner on the second floor that Riel had mentioned, Alan stopped to take a closer look, and found that there was no sign of a prank, except that the carpet on one of the steps crumpled and tripped over Riel's toes.
"You have to be careful when you come here in the future. "It's not the people on the second floor who are messing with ghosts, Alan then put his mind at ease and said as he walked.
"It's bad luck. Riel still looked a little upset and muttered quietly.
It's not the end of class in the morning, so there aren't many people on the road. When the two of them came to the restaurant, there weren't many people.
They sat down at the old place and ordered lunch as was customary.
Since Riel wasn't in a good mood, he ate rather slowly, and he was only halfway through when the bell rang for class.
Alan had eaten his fill early, and sat in his seat bored waiting for Riel, revisiting the contents of the afternoon class in his head.
But just as Alan was thinking about the problem, he heard Riel suddenly scream, "Ahh
"What's wrong?" Alan startled, looking over to Riel to find him spitting something on the ground with a frown.
"It's disgusting!" Riel said, spitting as he pointed to a puddle on the ground, "It's still moving!"
Alan looked at the place where Riel pointed and found that in the food that Riel spit out, there were two small white things wriggling wildly, as if they were two bugs, and he looked at it carefully, only to realize that it was not two bugs, but one, which was bitten into two pieces by Ryel......
"Vomit!" Riel became more and more disgusted the more he looked at it, his expression exaggerated as vomiting, and he pulled Alan and left the table, "No more, no more!"
Alan also felt a little nauseous, so he got up and left together.
On the way back to the room, Riel didn't stop at all, and kept repeating the words, "What the hell happened today...... How could it be so unlucky!"
