#149 - The murderer is (3k)
Chapter 149: The Culprit Is… (3k)
“I am now, very likely, being haunted by something unclean.”
In the cafeteria, Yarrow looked at the plain water on the table, his face gloomy as he spoke.
“Someone wants to target me, ruin my image. The reason might be dissatisfaction with me receiving the Royal Medal, wanting to use this method to isolate me from the group! And finally, put me to death!”
Sitting opposite him, Serena, who was drinking vegetable juice, had also reacted. She looked at him with a slight frown:
“Could it be that the previous one was also…”
Yarrow nodded: “I used the Divine Pot to see the scene of that night. It was also ‘me’ who went to take the underwear, but in my memory, I have absolutely no impression of doing such a thing.”
“But, with Vinea there, it’s impossible for anyone else to have entered the house,” Serena said.
Yarrow frowned, pinching his chin:
“So, it is also very likely that my mind was controlled by someone.”
Speaking of this, Serena also began to panic: “You, don’t scare me! Mind control is very serious! That’s a forbidden art! If you really are affected, then it’s possible…”
Mind control requires a complex spellcasting environment, and to be able to use this kind of magic without being discovered or leaving any traces is simply an existence beyond the norm.
“More than myself, I’m more worried about you now,” Yarrow sighed.
“If it’s just someone pretending to be me, that’s fine, at least we can find them. But if someone is controlling me to do these things and I’m completely unaware, then, as far as you’re concerned, I am the most dangerous.” He frowned as he spoke.
Serena looked at him with a worried expression.
They had no clue at all, and didn’t know where to start.
“Divine Pot, can you find the real culprit behind this?” he asked, holding the Divine Pot.
“Nope, the existing wish spirits are completely insufficient, oh,” the Divine Pot replied.
Yarrow took a deep breath: “I’m going to find the Headmaster, see if he has a solution.”
He had just stood up when a short, chubby boy walked up to him, and said shyly:
“...I saw your poster this morning, I’m a shota… can…”
“Get lost!”
He arrived at the Headmaster’s office. As the head of the school, Polo’s office was located on the top floor of the Academic Affairs Committee building, completely open-air, covered by a large, retractable glass cover like a greenhouse. There were no door locks, and anyone could enter.
More than an office, it was more like a tropical greenhouse, filled with lush green plants of all kinds. Among this green jungle, bookshelves filled with documents were placed randomly.
An office table was placed against the wall, and behind the office table was a display cabinet, which seemed to be displaying trophies, neatly arranged with carrots.
Polo was not here.
“Not here?” He scratched his head.
“What’s the matter, Yarrow?”
Yarrow turned his head, but saw Vice-Headmaster Hagen watering the potted plants with a watering can.
“Vice-Headmaster Hagen, may I ask where Headmaster Polo is?” Yarrow asked.
“Oh, Polo has important matters to deal with in the kingdom during this time. After all, the position of Headmaster is also a part-time job for him.”
“When he’s not here, only I can help him water these little flowers and plants.” Hagen shrugged his shoulders and said.
“If you have anything, you can tell me. I’ll help you if I can, and if I can’t, then you’ll just have to wait for Polo to come back.”
“It’s like this.” He pondered for a few seconds and told him what he had encountered.
“Oh? So, that poster wasn’t something you wanted to put up yourself?”
“Of course not,” Yarrow said, embarrassed.
“Ho ho, I almost really thought your preferences were very unique.” Hagen laughed.
Then his expression became serious: “So, do you have any idea if you’ve offended anyone recently?”
Yarrow shook his head. Although his popularity at school wasn’t very good, it was still okay. He had never had any conflicts with anyone.
“Although it is also possible that someone pretended to be me and did these things, according to the current situation, it is more likely that I was controlled,” Yarrow said.
“Hmm… mental control…”
Hagen touched the beard on his chin, looked him up and down, and then beckoned to him: “Come closer.”
Yarrow stepped forward, and Hagen raised two fingers and tapped them on his forehead.
“What are you doing, Headmaster?” Yarrow asked, covering his forehead, puzzled.
“I’m checking for traces of mental control left on your body. Using this kind of forbidden spell will leave traces on the affected person,” Hagen said.
“Then…”
Hagen shook his head: “However, after examination, there are no traces of such magic on your body.”
“However, it is also possible that the other party’s strength is above mine,” he added.
“Vice-Headmaster Hagen, your magic level is…”
“Radiant-level, hmm, if I were more diligent, I should have reached Saint-Radiant level by now.”
Yarrow felt uneasy.
Could it be that the one controlling him behind the scenes is a mage above the Radiant-level?
But if the other party is so strong, why would they have to do such a boring thing to slander him?
Did they have nothing better to do?
“However, you don’t have to worry. You can go to the Meditation Tower for a few nights. There, you don’t have to worry about being controlled by anyone. If you want, I can apply for you,” Hagen said.
The Wall-Facing Tower, the oldest building in the academy, is said to have a history of over a thousand years. It contains a ban left by a past Sage-level Archmage, preventing all evil spirits from approaching the tower. Those who enter will have their minds and souls cleansed, making it ideal for introspection and enlightenment.
Inside, there's certainly no need to worry about being mentally controlled again.
Yarrow pondered with his head lowered, deciding to try this first.
"So, the only solution you could think of is to stay in a place like this for a few nights?" Ze Xia asked, frowning.
"Without knowing what it is exactly, this is a safer option," Yarrow said helplessly.
He was already inside the Wall-Facing Tower. Ze Xia, upon learning he was here, immediately rushed over to question him.
"With me around, whatever it is, I'll just kill it! What are you afraid of?" Ze Xia said, displeased.
"The problem is, the person in danger right now is likely me," he sighed.
"Alright, Ze Xia, you don't need to worry about it. I just need to stay here for a few nights to clear away the influence on me," he said.
"I'm also entrusting the safety of the household to you."
"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you!" Ze Xia turned her head and flew out the window with a flap of her wings.
Yarrow sat on the hard plank bed, gazing at the ancient and dilapidated walls around him, and let out a long breath.
The setting sun was slowly descending outside the window. Yarrow closed the window tightly, and just as he was thinking about how to light the dirty stove in the room, the window he had just closed was suddenly knocked on.
He opened the window, and outside was Lulu La, holding a bag of thick blankets and some daily necessities.
The latest novels are at 69shu.com!
"Serena said Yarrow, you're going to stay here for a few days. So she asked me to bring you some things," Lulu La said as she flew into the room.
She placed the things she was holding on the hard plank bed and then looked at Yarrow with a worried expression.
"I heard that Yarrow is now being haunted by something terrifying?"
Yarrow nodded: "This time, it's probably a very difficult thing to deal with. I can only try to get rid of it in this tower."
Lulu La hesitated and said: "In that case, my blessing might be able to come in handy. Do you want to try it?"
Yarrow seemed to have forgotten about this. The Feathered Serpent God's blessing can increase mental power.
"Then let's try it."
Lulu La nodded, stepped forward, and gently touched his head with her slender finger. A soft light gradually merged into his body.
"How is it?" Lulu La asked.
"It feels... like nothing has changed," Yarrow said after sensing it.
"I see."
Lulu La was slightly disappointed. She thought she could be of use.
"Oh, right, Tao Hu knew about this and asked me to give you this, saying it can ward off... evil spirits?"
Lulu La took out a red sachet and handed it to him. Inside was a talisman.
"Then thank her for me," Yarrow said.
"It's getting late, you should go back early."
Lulu La nodded, then twisted her body, and said with a slightly shy expression:
"That... do... do you want a kiss?"
"Now... is not a good time," Yarrow said.
Her shy appearance was indeed a little attractive, but Yarrow wasn't sure what state his body was in, so he could only refuse.
Lulu La had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
He sat back in the chair, picked up his backpack, took out a chocolate nut bar from it, took a bite, and considered it dinner.
"Oh dear, now only I'm here to accompany you, you pervert who steals panties ~" The Divine Pot displayed the text in the backpack.
Yarrow was too lazy to pay attention to it and pulled up the backpack.
Night.
Yarrow woke up groggily, groped his way to the toilet, and after finishing up, he suddenly noticed that the door to the room was open, and there was light outside.
His door was clearly locked... and he's the only one in the Wall-Facing Tower right now, where did the light come from?
He was puzzled, and when he turned his head, he saw that the backpack he had placed by the bed was gone!
He woke up instantly.
Someone had come in!
He immediately reached for the bedside and thankfully, the revolver on the bedside was still there.
Holding the revolver, he slowly walked towards the door.
Stepping outside, standing in the ancient corridor, the corridor was completely dark, with only a beam of light coming from the corner.
Holding the revolver, he leaned against the wall and slowly walked forward, sticking his head out.
What he saw stunned him.
It was a petite girl, sitting on the ground with her back to him, her crystal-like long hair falling to the ground. She was holding his backpack, rummaging through it for the chocolate nut bar, and nibbling on it like a hamster.
"What... is this thing?"
The crystal-like texture of the other party's long hair gave him a strong sense of familiarity, and he suddenly realized who she was.
"Divine Pot?" he exclaimed in surprise.
The girl paused for a moment when she heard the sound, turned her head, revealing her cute and pretty face, and a pair of beautiful gem-like eyes. The corners of her pink lips were stained with a ring of brown chocolate sauce.
They stared at each other like that, and the sound of the wind faintly came from outside the window.
The Divine Pot calmly stuffed the last bite of chocolate into her mouth, raised her hand above her head, making a 'peace' sign, blinked, and smiled at him charmingly:
"Ciallo ~ ( ∠ ω \u003c ) ⌒ "
