Edward Martinez is dead.

Catherine saw relevant discussions on campus forums, and students who stayed up in the middle of the night took photos of police cars and ambulances entering the school with their mobile phones.

"They say Martinez was burned." Catherine looked serious. "Just last night—in his own office."

Martinez is the teacher of Avella's "Anthropology of Religion". He has worked in the school for more than 30 years. Although the students who have taken this course always complain about his strong hypnotic ability, he likes to ask questions and also likes to deduct points. It was the most unpleasant teacher in the Faculty of Philosophy. After Martinez died suddenly, the students couldn't really applaud. Many people still can't believe this fact.

Being burned to death in her office, this matter sounds weird, and Elvira has some doubts, but before she can really start to act, a few special "guests" suddenly ushered in the school, Barely can be regarded as Elvira's acquaintance.

"I have thought about whether I should contact you." JJ, who was wearing a white shirt, walked up to Elvira with a smile, "It's just that I think most people may not be happy to see BAU members at work at school."

Elvira: "I'm not an ordinary person."

Jennifer: "Yeah, so I came over to say hello to you."

Elvira looked at JJ, and turned her eyes around behind her. There were two men standing under the big tree not far away. One was dark-skinned and handsome. He was more friendly after noticing Elvira's gaze. Smiling at her, the other has short messy hair, looks very young, and has a very immature and clean temperament.

Elvira didn't chat with JJ for too long, BAU still had a job, and Elvira herself became more and more curious about the cause of Martinez's death, and the members of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Department were mobilized, which proved that there must be something tricky behind this case .

Martinez definitely wasn't an accidental death, and even... there's a good chance he wasn't the first person to be burned to death.

Edward Martinez's office is on the third floor of the Philosophy Building. When Elvira walked to the door of the office with ease, she happened to meet Morgan and Rhett who were searching for clues here. Elvira didn't go in, but just stood at the gate and watched. With just one glance, she knew exactly what happened in this office, who entered it, and who planned the tragedy that killed the professor of the School of Philosophy.

"Healthy people don't torture others, it's usually the tortured who become torturers."

"A famous quote from Carl Jung." Spencer Reid, who was wearing a striped shirt, came over proactively. He was holding his briefcase in one hand, and looked very nervous. Soon, Elvira knew what he was nervous about.

"Do you know who killed Martinez?"

"Well, I know." Elvira smiled, she looked up at the person in front of her with pure doubts in her expression, "You can tell what I'm thinking from my expression?"

"You don't have the idea of ​​​​covering up, and you don't feel disgusted—" Rhett paused, "You don't feel disgusted when I profile you."

While the two were talking, Derek Morgan also walked up to them. He heard Reid's initial summary, and his eyes fell on Elvira vaguely, with a hint of cautious scrutiny.

Elvira: "I'm really not disgusted, your skills are quite interesting, I mean, very powerful."

The two BAU agents exchanged glances, and Derek Morgan smiled at Elvira and said, "Would you like to go to the principal's office with us?"

Elvira didn't refuse.

Because of the evil incident that happened last night, the principal's office became a temporary meeting room for the BAU team members. When Elvira walked in together, all the other members of the BAU had already gathered here. Elvira knew all this What people want, so she just said a name, along with other just "saw" messages.

Derek Morgan took out his mobile phone and called Garcia, but within a few minutes, they got the information they wanted.

Integrating all the information, coupled with reliable analysis, the truth immediately surfaced——

Felix Hunter, a sophomore at the School of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was 16 years old when his home suddenly encountered a fire. The fire took away Felix's father and caused him great physical and mental damage.

"The fire was ignited in anger, and it will burn to the bottom of hell. God gave my child a test, and he passed the test." Felix's mother is a devout Christian, and the 16-year-old boy died in the fire. His biological mother thought it was a miracle, a gift from God.The terrible flames, witnessing his father's death, and his mother's nagging hints, Felix's psychology was distorted, and he suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder. The main manifestations of this disease are excessive anxiety, religious obsession and excessive compulsion. An obsessive fear of guilt produces in him severe anxiety, and he is driven to do things that relieve this anxiety.

Like arson.

In his view, this is a test given by God, and he is the messenger sent by God.

Felix Hunter's first arson was when he was 17 years old. There were no casualties in the man-made accident. Edward Martinez was already the third person to die at his hands.

He is a victim and a murderer.

"Seriously, don't you think about coming to BAU after graduation? Hodge must welcome you very much."

Aaron Hotchner, BAU Group Director.

"It's equivalent to cheating, I'm taking a shortcut." Facing JJ's friendly joke, Elvira's answer was also very straightforward, "I don't have your strong professionalism."

JJ stroked his hair and smiled.

In fact, they don't mind catching the murderer as soon as possible in a special way. BAU has been dealing with all kinds of mentally ill criminals. A moment often begins with the life of the victim.

Many times, they are still too passive.

However, what Elvira said is correct, professionals should have a professional attitude, and it really shouldn't rely too much on unusual means.

BAU has its own special plane, and this time the case ended unexpectedly quickly, so they didn't waste too much time and took the special plane back to Virginia.

Before the group left, Elvira saved the contact information of JJ, Morgan, and Reed on her mobile phone. Everyone’s remarks were not the same. For example, Reid was a 187-year-old genius. He told Elvira that he had a good memory , can read 1 words in one minute, and it just so happens that Elvira is also a super fast reader, so the two agreed to compare the speed of reading in the video in the future.

"Oh, sweetheart, I finally know why you've been single for so long." Catherine, who was lying on the sofa in shorts, said lazily, "Of course, that Dr. Reid also has a lot of problems."

"Nowadays, people want to fall in love after eating and drinking, but I'm different." Elvira said solemnly, "I can't eat enough at all."

Catherine: "..."

The style of painting changed instantly.

The person involved chatted to death with a single sentence, and Catherine, who was speechless, had to end the topic.

"By the way, are you going to the Halloween party? Have you figured out what to wear that day?"

Elvira blinked, but said nothing.

"You have to attend, my dear." Catherine sat up suddenly, "You have to come with me."

Elvira: "Okay."

Catherine: "Then let's go shopping for dresses tomorrow."

"I have a skirt." Elvira said, "Can't I just buy a mask suitable for Halloween?"

Catherine looked at her for a while, and then sighed deeply, "I've never seen someone who doesn't know how to show their charm like you, my dear, you are beautiful, really beautiful, you should let more people discover this kind of beauty!"

Elvira: "Okay, but we don't need to be too anxious, there is still more than a month before Halloween."

"Yeah." Catherine smiled slightly. Catherine changed her face suddenly, and grabbed Elvira with a fierce tiger. "Let's go shopping for a dress together tomorrow, shall we?" The voice was light, eerie and eerie.

Elvira: "..."

She decisively raised her hand and saluted, "Yes Sir!"

No matter what, the dress was bought in the end, and Elvira didn't think much of it the whole time, because Catherine would always choose a gorgeous and beautiful little dress that suited her.

Time seemed to be clockwork, more than a month passed by, and soon, on the day of the Halloween ball, Elvira was dragged by Catherine to the barber shop outside the school to have her hair done in the afternoon. She was as black as satin. The hair is soft and loose on the shoulders, most of the face is covered by a feather mask, and only the white and delicate chin is exposed. She is wearing a bright red dress with a suspender waist design, which outlines a slender body line.

She walked into the venue on stiletto heels, and the bright lights in the room shone on her body, such a beautiful mass of red, like a burning flame.

Elvira didn't reject the dance, but she didn't really like it either. After Catherine entered the venue, she went to the agreed place to find Eric. Elvira stood in the corner with a small cake, and from time to time there would be people approaching her. She ignored all the people who struck up a conversation, and then slipped to the second floor by herself.

The night passed through the window sill, covering the corridor with a gentle rose color. The campus was very quiet, but the laughter from the dance hall on the first floor could be faintly heard.

Elvira took off the mask and was playing with it in her hand. It was also at this time that she received a call from Steve Rogers.

The figure in the red dress disappeared in an instant, and appeared in the busiest Manhattan in an instant. Elvira took a few steps forward, and felt that the pair of high heels on her feet were in the way, so she took them off and kicked them aside.

"Avella?" Captain America in uniform ran close, he looked down at the girl's bare feet, and frowned in disapproval, "Don't walk barefoot, it will be cold and easily injured .” The man bent down and picked up the high heels that Elvira had kicked aside, then squatted down to help her put them on.

"Steve."

"Ok?"

"We're having a Halloween dance today."

"Sorry, I didn't want to…"

"Why don't you praise me for being beautiful?" Elvira tilted her head with a smile, "Catherine said that I dressed up beautifully today, and many people approached me at the ball just now."

Steve was obviously stunned for a moment, and was about to follow Elvira's words when the clock struck midnight suddenly. Elvira looked at the person in front of her with a more obvious smile in her eyes.

"It's twelve o'clock." She smiled with brows and eyes crooked, "Do you think I look like Cinderella who ran away at midnight?"

The evening wind blew their hair, and the street lamps elongated their figures, and then overlapped them.Steve's lips moved slightly, and he slowly raised one hand, hesitating, and rubbed Elvira's hair.

"Yeah." The neon lights on both sides of the street sprinkled on his shoulders, and the gentle lights softened that handsome face.

"Happy Halloween, Cinderella."
