Chapter 337 Murder and Rumors

Athena's eyes were sharp. When they approached, they found that the body in the bushes was indeed the student named Lambert.

He was pale and his eyes were wide open. He seemed to have seen something incredible before he died, and his expression was extremely horrified.

After careful observation, there was no wound on his body, and he seemed to be scared to death.

There were no signs of fighting around, and the crime scene might not be here at all.

So this leisurely walk had to be stopped.

The school was informed of the news, and the campus guard team came after hearing the news, and then immediately blocked the scene and launched an investigation.

Everyone looked solemn.

Some well-informed professors and students followed and arrived nearby to watch. Kevin also heard the noise. When he saw the body, his face turned pale.

His father Gray also came over, but although his expression was serious, he just took a quick look and left the scene.

In the midst of the busyness, Mellen and Athena, the two people who first discovered the body, were questioned a few times, but they were not embarrassed, so they signaled that they could leave.

"Fort Saint Grant has been getting more and more restless recently."

Athena and Melen, who left the scene, said: "The major events that have happened in the past five years are not as many as those that have happened in this month."

Although she was complaining, her tone was as if she was chatting.

This girl is not a sympathetic person. When she saw the body before, her eyes were as if she saw a stone on the side of the road. She was a little surprised, but it was just an accident.

Relatively speaking, modern people like Melen are actually more respectful of life. Although there have been many people who have been killed intentionally or unintentionally in the past, it still makes him feel a little uncomfortable that a familiar classmate died like this.

Of course, it was just uncomfortable. Considering that Lambert had always wanted to "whitewash" him into a pure blood, Melen felt that this person suddenly died inexplicably, and he might be in trouble because of this.

Sure enough, as the news of Lambert's death spread, Kevin's matter, which was originally limited to the college, was immediately pushed to the entire campus and became a hot topic among teachers and students.

The reason for the conflict between Lambert and Kevin also became the focus of everyone's discussion.

"Are you really a pure blood, Egg?"

Even Lily, a little brat far away in Graham City, sent a message to ask about this, which made Melen, who had already finished a day's class, feel helpless.

"Of course not."

He replied: "It's just that some people want me to become a pure blood."

"Because they can't beat you, so they have to win you over?"

"What you said is not accurate, but the reason is similar."

"Then will you be a traitor?"

The little girl who grew up in the Mixed Blood Association has always been hostile to pure blood, but on the other hand, she also knows that it is actually not good for Melen to maintain a mixed blood identity.

"It depends on whether you will pay me back."

Melen replied.

So the little guy who wanted to say something immediately stopped talking.

Melen chuckled at this and felt it was very interesting.

Considering the issue of the Holy Spirit Body, he chatted with Lily a lot during this period.

At first, due to the creditor's identity, the other party seemed a little indifferent, but Lily was actually very bored in the Mixed Blood Association. She didn't want to pay attention to people of the same age, and thought they were very childish.

Those older than her didn't want to pay attention to her.

So, after a while, Melen, the older child who was willing to pay attention to her, became the object of her daily chat.

But chatting was just chatting, and every time she mentioned the matter of paying back the money, she disappeared instantly, as if she didn't mention money to me, or I would ignore you.

The only difference from the past attitude was that this situation would only last for a while, and she would take the initiative to send a message to Melen if she couldn't bear it for long.

"You won't be in trouble, Melen?"    Alyssa also sent a message.

She was also Melen's long-term "netizen". Compared with meeting "offline", the two talked much more with the Secret Language Book.

"It's Felix who's in trouble."

Merlen comforted him, "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"But I see someone in the school is throwing dirty water on you."

The girl obviously didn't let go of her worries, "They said you were the thief crying thief, and you took the initiative to report the case after killing Lambert."

"Don't pay attention to such rumors."

Merlen didn't care about it, "Only fools would believe these words."

There are indeed such rumors in the school, and it is said that this is because Mellen is tired of Lambert always talking about his own bloodline problems, so he simply killed him when he met him in the morning, and with the heir's authority, others can't do anything to him.

It actually sounds quite reasonable.

But as the last paragraph of this rumor said, even if the murderer is really Mellen, others can't do anything to him.

First, there is no evidence, and second, even if there is evidence, he can't be caught.

But because of this, if there is no clue to the real murderer in the future, everyone's suspicious eyes may really be placed on Mellen.

So the person who spread this rumor is not actually doing useless work.

However, the rumormongers obviously don't know one thing, that is, the more you do, the more mistakes you make.

As the heir, Mellen has a function that few others know about, that is, he can set taboo topics within the scope of Saint Grant Castle.

He can limit what can be said and what cannot be said.

The effect can be called a sensitive word.

Similar to the sensitive words in his previous life, he can also set the situation of others after triggering sensitive words.

Whether to be "banned", punished, or "focused on" is entirely up to Melen.

He had already set all the bad words about himself and his close friends as sensitive words. All people living in the school are supervised, including the principal.

So when the rumor first appeared, Melen had already searched for who the rumor maker was.

It's strange to say that this person turned out to be one of the avatars of the gatekeeper Prescott, that is, another Holy Spirit Jonah.

Originally a friendly force, but I don't know why he suddenly turned against it.

Therefore, he is currently in the stage of observing the other party and has not acted rashly.

...

As the object of observation, Dryden actually knew that he had attracted the attention of the heir.

But he had expected this.

In other words, the purpose of spreading rumors was not to cause trouble for the heir, but to make him notice himself.

The reason is very simple-self-help.

As one of the clones of the gatekeeper Prescott, Dryden is trying to save the missing clone Jonah, but he himself has no safety to worry about.

However, in addition to this identity, he actually has another identity.

That is Alfred, the former demon king imprisoned by the heir.
