"Please tell me everything you know!" Alyssa said, getting up and walking over to Professor Fran, crouching down and taking Professor Fran's hands.

"The cause of this incident has to start with a very strange case......" Professor Fran stabilized his emotions and began to speak slowly, "You should know that since werewolves were driven to the cold mountain range, they rarely haunt human gathering areas, and even if they are seen occasionally, they will actively stay away and have always been safe with humans...... But just 14 years ago, there was a time when the towns northwest of Krivari were so unpeaceful that there were frequent cases of missing livestock, children and even adults, and the local security services were helpless and reported to the association's headquarters. Headquarters did not take the matter very seriously at first, believing that the local security services were incompetent, and only sent a two-person team to investigate the day-to-day affairs. But what is surprising is that the two men also lost contact inexplicably after entering the mountainous area where the incident occurred...... This time it was not as simple as the disappearance of two ordinary people, it was the staff of the security headquarters who were missing. Feeling a loss of face, and realizing that the problem might be more serious than he thought, the minister selected eight of the most meritorious men and formed two teams to deal with the matter. Your parents are part of one of those teams. ”

Alan and Riel also listened attentively.

"Christie is a very good elementalist, extremely skilled in water elemental magic, and your father, Finn, has perfectly inherited the power of wind resistance from your grandmother. Professor Fran paused for a moment and continued, "Because of the stakes and the fact that Christie and Finn were among the operatives this time, I, as the head of the Information Department, took over the rest of the work as soon as they set off. The members of these two teams are each very capable, so they decided to go their separate ways...... The investigation went well, and soon after one of the teams came the news that the missing two people had been found, but they had all been killed, leaving only mutilated remains, and traces of werewolf activities were found at the scene of the crime...... A few days later, another team sent a report that the killer had been captured in the northern mountains, that he was a lone werewolf, and that there were no casualties this time. This is the team your parents are on. ”

"Lone werewolf!" cried Alan and Riel.

"Yes...... It seems that you have figured out, and this is exactly what is wrong with this. Professor Fran looked at Alan and Riel, not knowing what they were surprised about, and continued, "Werewolves have been social animals since ancient times, and this is the first time I've heard of them walking alone...... Headquarters was also surprised, so they asked this team to escort the werewolf back to Krivari, while the other team continued to patrol the crime scene to check for other werewolf activities. ”

"At about 10 o'clock that night, your parents sent a report that they were less than sixty kilometers from the city of Krivari, and that they were going to take a rest and then rush back overnight to have the Department of Security arrange for someone else to pick them up...... My heart relaxed, and I began to listen to her gleefully tell me how they had caught the werewolf, and planned to call them to my house for dinner the next night to celebrate their success...... "I thought this part would sound lighter, but Professor Fran looked solemn at this point," but at that moment, the intelligence team came with a shocking news, it was from the Crivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...... But it has a lot to do with it. ”

She swallowed and foamed, one hand propped up on the table, supporting her forehead, and her voice trembled a little: "That night, the Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had the most serious incident in the Hep Continent since entering the Second Age...... In the beginning, there was a year in the dormitory building, I don't know what strange things were going on, and the people in each room were like they were obsessed, and they fought like crazy and killed each other. Slowly, the feud spread from this building to the campus, and the same happened in almost all of the residence halls...... The campus has become a battlefield...... Knives, tables and chairs, everyone uses everything that can hurt people, even the magic they have learned, to attack each other, to hurt their roommates, friends, and even themselves...... Hearing the unusual movement, the professors rushed out to stop their actions, but strangely, as soon as they stepped onto the campus, they joined them as if they were enchanted, and they also began to attack each other, even using more extensive and destructive lethal magic...... Their behavior was so abnormal that they used magic without scruples, breaking the rules of magicians that they had memorized since childhood, as if they had lost their minds and destroyed their humanity that night...... In the end, except for a few professors and students who were hiding when they saw that the situation was wrong, no one else survived, including the gatekeepers......" Professor Fran said here and closed his eyes, as if he did not want to recall the incident, "This is the horrific Crivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry tragedy. ”

Alan and Riel looked at each other, remembering that Old Adrian seemed to have mentioned it to them.

"At first, I thought it was ridiculous and thought it was a boring student who was quietly joking with me through the school's communication light, but then similar messages kept coming from the same address, signed by professors from the school...... Only then did I realize that this seemingly ridiculous thing was actually true, and I quickly notified the Security Department. Professor Fran opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "However, since most of the people had already returned home from work, the people on duty had to summon everyone, including the minister, one by one through the communication light, so it was not until about an hour later that the Security Department organized personnel to go to the school at night to investigate...... According to the survivors' descriptions, they saw a child who was suspected of being a prisoner coming out of the building where the accident occurred first, and then entering the other dormitories in turn, and then everyone including the professor became like that, and finally they vaguely saw that he was the only one who walked out of the school gate, and he didn't know which direction he was going......"

"But what does this have to do with the death of my parents?" Alyssa couldn't help but ask after listening for a long time and finding that they were two different things at all.

"I was so shocked by this that it was already two o'clock in the night when I remembered that I hadn't replied to Christie's side yet. Professor Fran lowered his head and continued, "Since the Security Department is almost already out of the house, I informed Christie that there was a big incident at the school, and there might not be anyone to pick them up, so let them be careful...... Strangely, Christie's side didn't give me any response. At first, I thought they were in a carriage and couldn't reply to me, so I waited patiently, but I didn't hear from them until after midnight. I felt that something was wrong, so I sent out several messages asking where they were, but all my messages were lost in the sea, and I didn't get any response......"

Alyssa squeezed Professor Fran's hand tightly.

And so another two hours passed...... Just as I was fidgeting, I heard a commotion coming from the headquarters gate, and two panicked staff members came back from outside. I recognized them, the two who had teamed up with your parents, and I was very strange, and went up to ask why they were the only ones who had returned, and where were Christie and Finn, but they were so nervous that they couldn't say anything, and insisted that they would report the matter to the minister in person, and it was not until they had rested for a long time that they reluctantly agreed to go and find someone to take notes...... They didn't say that I had no authority to intervene in the work of the security staff, not to mention that the mission was of a very high level, so I had to go back to work and wait...... But until dawn did not wait for any news about them. ”

Professor Fran took a short break and continued, "I wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep, but I heard your cry when I passed by your door. I pushed the door open and went in, only to find that Monina was not home. I was so angry that I didn't know where she had gone, so I left you alone in the house and waited for her to come back...... I finally put you back to sleep, and I fell asleep in a daze. It wasn't until about twelve o'clock that I heard someone open the door and found that it was her who had finally returned. I wanted to be angry with her, but when I saw her face, I was shocked...... She cried as if she hadn't slept all night, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard, as if she had just experienced something terrible. Before I could say anything, she threw herself into my arms and began to cry again. I asked her what was going on, but she didn't say anything, just cried, and after a long time she finally got tired of crying, and I asked her what was going on, but she just stared blankly at you who was woken up by the crying, muttering the names of Christie and Finn...... It took me a long time to tell that they had been killed......" Professor Fran said, and tears fell again.

"I was stunned, I couldn't believe it was true, and last night I was so excited to tell me how the two people who were arrested and passed by suddenly had such a big incident...... But I know what a serious person Monina is, she never jokes with me, and that's what it is. "But no matter how much I asked her what was going on, she didn't say anything, just looked at me blankly and said, 'You can't help me...... No, you can't come and help me'. ”

I didn't understand what she meant, so I kept comforting her until she was exhausted and fell asleep in bed, and then I hurried back to headquarters. Professor Fran took off his glasses, "Some of the people who went to the school last night have already returned, so I went to an acquaintance in the security department to ask him, and asked him to secretly show me the transcript to find out what happened......
