Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, Tensley University was in an uproar.
A person had died in the library. It could be said that she had died suddenly.
Everyone who knew Lily knew that she was a student who had studied too hard.
However, another person had also died in the library. This time, it was different.
What was even more creepy was that the two different corpses had the same expressions and the same state of death.
Furthermore, they were in the same position!
Even their shoes were found at the same spot.
That was very suspicious.
However, the school had yet to announce that it was a holiday.
It was exam season, and it was an extremely crucial day for the school.
If they declared it a holiday now, it would definitely have a huge impact on the school’s enrollment next year.
The police could no longer declare that this was a sudden death.
Even if they said so, who would believe it?
For a brief moment, the people of Tensley University were in a panic.
1
However, just after half a day, there was news from the school again.
Another person had died.
This time, however, it was different from the two people who died in the library.
The third person died in the bathroom of the dormitory building.
This person’s death was even more tragic than the two people in the library.
Eyes, nose, mouth, ears…
Black blood flowed out of all the holes of the deceased’s face, making people shudder.
Almost everyone had the same thought.
Could Tensley University be haunted?
Outside the bathroom of the dormitory building, there were many students.
Although there were teachers and police there to stop them, everyone was still curiously stretching their necks to look inside.
When everyone saw the scene, their faces went pale and were filled with fear.
However, Flanders, who was mixed in with the crowd, had a grave expression.
This person was not killed by him.
When these people saw the corpse, they did not give Flanders any fear points.
2
In other words, this was done by someone else.
But, who could the murderer be?
Thinking of this, Flanders silently left the crowd.
1
…
Soon, a man and a woman arrived at the scene and took over the case.
At the same time, the surrounding students and teachers were also forced to evacuate. They were not allowed to stay.
After the crowd left, the man spoke.
“Teach, do you think this matter…”
Although there was no one around, the man did not make his words very clear out of habit.
However, the woman named Teach nodded as if she understood him.
“There’s no mistake.”
This must be an act of a strange creature.
Teach was the first woman to know about the scarecrow incident when she was with Lucius.
Although she was only an F-class, Teach had investigative abilities that far surpassed the others.
Therefore, whenever there was a strange incident, Teach would always be the first to arrive at the scene to look for some clues.
“Is it him?” the man asked with a serious expression.
Teach shook her head, squatted down gently, and picked up a long strand of hair from the ground.
“It’s not him. It’s someone else.
“If it was him, he wouldn’t have left such an obvious message.”
The ‘him’ they were talking about was naturally the scarecrow.
The scarecrow had already killed five members of the Mage Association. Almost everyone had already regarded the scarecrow as their number one public enemy.
2
Teach had also been looking for information about the scarecrow.
Unfortunately, she could only follow the scarecrow’s trail these days.
Other than that, she could not find him at all.
This time, although it was not the scarecrow, as a member of the Mage Association, Teach definitely could not sit idly by.
The man looked at the long hair in Teach’s hands and narrowed his eyes.
“This hair seems to be a little too long.”
Teach nodded slightly. Using both her hands, she gently pinched the strand of hair, slowly pulling it taut.
However, even though Teach had stretched her hands as far apart as she could, she still could not reach the entire length of the strand of hair.
In other words, this strand of hair was at least two meters long.
Moreover, this dark hair color was not very common.
If her guess was right, this should be another strange act.
Teach and her companion looked at each other, and the two of them nodded lightly.
…
It was night, on the rooftop.
Flanders stood there alone, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.
In the shadows behind him, there was a faint movement.
Then, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
1
Wearing a pure white long dress, her two-meter-long black hair was draped over her head, covering her face.
3
Obviously, she was the strange creature responsible for the murder in the dormitory bathroom.
When she felt something moving on the empty rooftop, the long-haired creature naturally would not let go of the fat meat that was about to reach her mouth.
With one look, it seemed obvious that he was just a stupid student with a screw loose in his brain.
It was not a problem for this strange creature to think this way.
This person clearly knew that something was wrong at Tensley University. Yet, he still came to the rooftop alone at this time. If he was not stupid, what was he?
Under the moonlight, the long-haired creature slowly approached Flanders.
The long hair on her head kept fluttering as if it had a life of its own.
Only when the long-haired creature was a meter away from him, Flanders slowly turned around.
The long-haired creature was slightly stunned.
The expected surprised expression of the male student in front of her did not appear.
Instead, his face was calm.
This strange scene in the strange eyes of the long-haired woman made her feel a sense of danger.
There was something wrong with the student in front of her!
1
At this moment, the strange long-haired woman did not dare to act rashly.
She even suspected that this student was from the Mage Association.
Subconsciously, the strange long-haired woman began to assess Flanders’s strength.
After living for so many years, it had finally reached E-class.
It was not difficult for her to sense the other party’s strength.
However, in the next second, the long-haired woman was stunned.
It could not sense the strength of the man in front of her.
In other words, this guy was not from the Mage Association at all!
Thinking that she was actually frightened by an ordinary person, the long-haired woman felt a wave of embarrassment.
At the same time, a wave of anger arose in her heart.
1
It had already made up its mind to torture this blind guy later.
In the next second, the long-haired creature’s hair suddenly floated in the air, pointing at Flanders.
The long-haired creature’s expression also became ferocious.
1
“Regret your own weakness, human.”
After a ferocious laugh, countless hair spikes suddenly stabbed Flanders.
At this moment, Flanders slowly revealed a smile.
“When did I say I was a human?”
