I like traveling the most

Chapter 136 The horse's feet that were sent to you on your own initiative [Thanks to Da Ni Buddhist Temple Wu Tian for the 10,000 reward]

Wangli Jiqiao College has many students who go through the withdrawal procedures every year.

After all, this academy is one of the highest institutions in the magic world, and the courses are not easy at all. Therefore, those students who cannot keep up with the progress will one day be abandoned.

Coupled with high tuition fees, corresponding academic qualifications and other off-site factors, etc.

There are many reasons for dropping out of school.

But since October last year, when the new school year began, the number of dropouts has surged and has now reached 26.

There were twelve cases in which automata were damaged and students were forced to drop out of school.

And the murderer who caused all this

——cannibal candy

"In other words, finding it is your current mission?"

"That's right."

Akabane Lei nodded.

He didn't look good, though, because he was still in the academy when the attack occurred, and it even happened while listening to Felix's intel.

Even if he has excessive self-awareness, it is difficult not to suspect that he is deliberately provoking.

Xiao Lin didn't want to join in the fun, but he couldn't help but glance there, and his super far-sightedness was activated instantly.

"Well..."

Couldn't help but frown slightly.

The object's upper and lower bodies were scattered on the ground some distance apart.

The inside of the abdominal cavity can be seen from the break. Because the structure inside is quite delicate, it makes people feel like they are peeking into the inside of the human body. The exposed gears, wires and other parts create an atmosphere even more disgusting than that of human corpses.

His legs were completely smashed, and his movements should have been restricted in this way.

The lower part of the face of the wreckage was so damaged that the original shape could not be seen at all. There were blood-like objects scattered around, as if it had been eaten by some wild beast.

What attracted the most attention was the strange wound.

The area where the heart should have been was hollowed out until only a circular cavity remained. The surface of the wound was extremely smooth, like candy that had been licked until it melted.

Not good.

After finally coming out of "Zhan Chi", I had a physical reaction all of a sudden.

Seeing that Xiaolin's expression was wrong, Akabane Raijin patted him on the shoulder and even jokingly joked: "Cannibal plus candy, combining two common words, don't think it distinguishes the characteristics of the wound. Has it been fully demonstrated?"

"...It's a good joke, Akabane-kun."

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at him.

This guy is particularly sensitive to other people's emotional changes, but he always intervenes rashly without knowing it. Even a rough guy like Xiaolin is a little resistant.

"Speaking of which, who is the puppeteer of this automaton?"

"It's the guy with the iron ball."

"Oh, it's him."

Xiao Lin's bad mood immediately improved.

Because that guy not only attacked Xiaolin with many people during the day, but also attacked Akabane Raijin again in the evening. Being eaten by the [Demon Eater] to eat the magic circuit was the punishment he deserved.

But you can't laugh!

If he laughs, his career as a puppet maker will be over.

Now almost all the students are gathered here. The appearance of [Demon Eater] has made people panic. If he laughs at this time, even if he didn't do it, he will be criticized by the flustered and clueless students. It will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. trouble.

Turning around, he asked the last person in the trio.

"Charlotte, what do you think?"

"..."

Charlotte didn't answer.

For a long time, she looked down at the student blankly, saying nothing.

"Char, were you on the street with him?"

The sharp words of the handsome young man woke up the distracted Charlotte. These words were obviously not scolding, but they made her visibly flinch and she quickly tried to defend herself.

"Wait! That's not that, that's—"

"Okay. Let's end this topic here, Lei Zhen, you come here first."

Felix coldly covered Charlotte's words and led Lei Zhen towards the darkness of the trees in the courtyard.

Charlotte looked at his back, raised the corners of her eyes with burning eyes, and turned away without saying a word.

"Wait a minute, Ciel."

Felix kept his back to her, stopped her with an unexpected tone, and said coldly: "You'd better stop meddling with the [Demon Eater]'s affairs."

"But--"

"Leave this matter to the disciplinary committee. Besides..."

He looked back at Charlotte. Instead of the usual warm and gentle smile on his face, he frowned sadly and said, "I already understand what you mean. Although it's a pity, I will quit."

"Eh-?!"

"You didn't choose me, but Xiaolin. Is that what it's all about?"

"How could it be? It's not..."

Charlotte froze on the spot in astonishment.

"...I still have work to deal with. I'm sorry, could you please leave first? Also, I don't want to see you again for the time being."

After Felix finished speaking, he quietly turned around and left.

Charlotte's face was as pale as an automaton that had just died in the corner, and her petite body was trembling slightly.

"What, what should I do, I am hated by Felix! What should I do... what should I do... what should I do...!"

The words he muttered were heartbreaking.

"Hey..."

"Leave me alone!"

Charlotte shook off Kobayashi's hand and ran away like a fly.

Watching her thin figure leave, Kobayashi's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he complained softly: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm the one being used."

What's going on, this depressed mood.

It's the CPU, it's the CPU, right!

The blonde mask squinted his eyes, using himself to put pressure on Charlotte, deliberately arousing the other party's guilt, so that Charlotte would feel sorry for Felix and then be more devoted to him.

Low-level, highly targeted, and very effective despicable means, but the one being used is himself.

"Master Kobayashi, don't you chase after him?"

The waiter behind him reminded his master at the right time to chase after him like a gentleman to comfort him.

However, Xiaolin asked back: "Why? I have told her that even men can get jealous sometimes, so she should not get too close to other men, otherwise it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"That's right, but the other party also means well, right?"

Seeing that this reason could not convince Xiaolin, Liu Zi lowered her head slightly, a shadow appeared on her face, and whispered: "And someone used Lord Xiaolin to play with the feelings of girls, are you going to swallow your anger? Following such an incompetent master will lower my reputation."

"...That's right."

Xiaolin nodded in agreement.

After a pause, he raised a bad smile and said: "Is it really okay? I don't care what will happen."

"But no matter what happens in the end, as Lord Xiaolin's servant, I will stand by your side unswervingly." Liu Zi said touching words calmly.

Charlotte, it may be the same as you said.

I, who will be dominated by automatic dolls, may really be a useless man.

Or maybe...

"Master Kobayashi, as your waiter, I have to say that your personality is sometimes unexpectedly twisted."

"...You are right, Ryuko."

Maybe I really think so in my heart.

————

Kobayashi did not turn around and leave like Charlotte, but walked straight towards Felix and Akabane Raijin.

But when he came to the cordon, he was stopped by other discipline committee members, but the noise was also heard by the two people who were investigating the situation.

"Kobayashi?"

"Wait, let him in."

Felix ordered his subordinates, and Kobayashi was able to come to the crime scene.

"Hey, good evening, both of you."

Kobayashi raised his hand to greet them, and then said to Felix: "Do you two need help? You won't say that irrelevant people should leave as soon as possible because of some off-site factors."

"Irrelevant people should leave as soon as possible... Although that's the case, you are an exception, Kobayashi."

Felix's preferential treatment of Kobayashi was a bit too much, and he even said gently: "What happened between you and Charles will not affect you and me, so please rest assured."

"No, no, Charlotte and I are not in that kind of relationship."

Kobayashi waved his hand.

The light explanation is completely different from the eager defense, but it is very convincing.

"Really."

Felix had a smile on his face, as if he was relieved to know that the person he loved was not taken away.

But under the cover of the night, there was a little pride in the corners of his mouth, but Kobayashi, who had [Five Visions All-Powerful], still discovered it with his super keen vision.

Akabane Raijin also hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "I'm relieved that Felix agrees with me. To be honest, people are very afraid of Kobayashi as a competitor, but if he is a companion, people will feel very relieved. After all, his strength should not be underestimated."

"It's no good for me to praise you like this, Akabane-kun." Kobayashi raised his lips slightly, as if he was very satisfied with his praise.

Felix looked at them with a bewildering smile, and I don't know what he was thinking.

————

The results of the investigation were not ideal. Like the guards who could only come out to clean the floor, the discipline committee members also returned empty-handed this time.

However, during this period, Kobayashi learned all the information about the [Demon Eater] and the previous crimes.

But that was all.

Late at night, Kobayashi was on his way back to the dormitory.

"Please wait a moment, Kobayashi."

"...Hmm?"

Suddenly someone called him from behind.

Turning around, he saw a girl with lively shoulder-length hair and glasses who looked very intellectual.

Although she looked neat and dignified, and seemed to be from an aristocratic family, it was hard to deny that she looked a little plainer than Charlotte and Felix.

At the same time, she wore the same discipline committee armband as Felix on her arm. And, she wore white gloves that symbolized the participants of the night party.

"What's the matter, Miss Lisette Norden, who is Felix's assistant?"

"Do you know me?"

"Of course. After all, there is someone who praises his assistant every day."

Kobayashi was referring to Felix.

However, the other party had never mentioned her existence. Instead, it was Akabane Raimin who told him because he found that the other party gave people a sense of disharmony, although it was only for a moment.

"Huh."

She snorted lightly, and it was not known whether she was shy or sneering, and her attitude was always quite ambiguous.

Xiao Lin took the initiative to advance the topic and asked: "Then, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Although I feel a bit sorry to say this, I still have to say it." Lisette briefly prepared the situation and then said seriously: "Please be careful of Charlotte, her doll is a bandoll."

"Forbidden Doll?"

"As you know, taboo dolls are dolls that use certain parts of the human body, which violates the ethics of magicians. According to the legend passed down by Count Birao's family, Sigmund devoured humans and burned down towns in the past. Bad thing, if you don’t eat meat regularly now, you won’t be able to maintain your physical body.”

"Haha~ Your words are like saying Charlotte is the murderer."

"It's just suspicion! Because we have already confirmed that [Demon Eater] is the forbidden doll."

"Yeah."

Xiao Lin nodded and fell into thought.

Just when Lisette thought he heard her words, Xiaolin suddenly said: "Um... let me ask, are you deliberately throwing dirty water on Charlotte?"

"……Why?"

"Because Felix is ​​the most popular student in the college, and you and Charlotte both like him. You are jealous and dislike each other, and Felix has always been attracted to Charlotte, and now she is misunderstood, so You come here and throw dirty water or something..."

"That's not true!"

Lisette glared at him unhappily and said angrily: "Do you only have this kind of messy romantic comedy in your mind? I'm talking about a serious topic. Please be more serious!"

"Don't be so angry."

Xiao Lin waved his hand and said pointedly: "It doesn't match your intellectual face at all."

"————!"

Hearing Xiaolin's words, Lisette immediately restrained herself and even panicked a little.

"By the way, I have a question too."

"What's the problem?"

Lisette rolled her eyes, as if she didn't expect Xiaolin to ask any serious questions.

but--

"Why were you there when the [Demon Eater] was eating its prey?"

Pointed questions are very harsh.

Lisette's eyes changed instantly and she asked, "Are you trying to say that I am the [Demon Eater]?"

"No, no, no, how could it be?"

Xiaolin waved his hand and laughed and said: "But, you said that the doll that was swallowed was the Iron Ball User. Why do you think so? I am just curious about this. After all, it is impossible to judge from that scene and that face."

"Everyone can clearly see that iconic iron ball..."

"The legs of the eaten doll were smashed... But under normal circumstances, people would think it was the Iron Ball user who did it, right? To think that the weapon has been counter-used, certain prerequisites are required, such as... See it with your own eyes, or something like that?”

"Generally speaking...!"

Lisette tried her best to keep her voice from shaking, and retorted: "No one would want to leave evidence at the scene that is enough to identify him as a prisoner, if it is a prop used by the [Demon Eater] himself. , then he should take it away when he leaves."

"Really? But except for the magic circuit, everything else about that guy was left at the scene."

"But that's not enough to lock the prisoner!"

"Is it just wishful thinking on your part?"

"Stop making excuses, I'm innocent!"

Xiaolin pressed forward step by step, causing Lisette to have a strong stress reaction.

"Sorry, sorry, don't be so angry. You can't keep up your intellectual face anymore."

"...Tsk."

Lisette clicked her tongue softly in displeasure.

"That's all I have to say." Xiao Lin turned around unpreparedly and said, "That's right, Professor Kimberly once said something during class that it's boring for automatic dolls to imitate humans. ah."

“————!!!”

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, it's just something you feel."

The sarcastic cries were extremely harsh.

Thanks to the boss of [Da Ni Buddhist Temple Wu Tian] for the 10,000 yuan reward, and I am extremely sorry for the late update. The sprain in my back did have a little impact on me.

Thank you again for the reward. I wish you great success and rapid progress. Thank you very much!
