I like crossing the most

Chapter 136 The Telltale Sent Up Proactively

Every year, there are quite a few students who go through the formalities of withdrawing from Wang Li Jiqiao Academy.

After all, this academy is one of the highest schools in the magic world, and the courses are not easy at all.So those students who can't keep up with the progress will one day be abandoned.

Coupled with high tuition fees, corresponding education and other off-site factors and so on.

There are as many reasons for dropping out as there are.

However, since the start of the new school year in October last year, the number of dropouts has increased sharply, and has reached as many as 26 at present.

Among them, there were twelve cases in which the Automata were destroyed and the 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 task?"

"Yes."

Akabane Leizhen nodded.

His expression was not very good, though, because he was still at the academy when the attack happened, and it even happened while Felix was giving the intelligence.

Even if there is excess self-awareness, it is hard not to suspect that it is a deliberate provocation.

Xiao Lin didn't want to join in the fun at first, but he couldn't help but glanced there, and his super farsighted ability was activated instantly.

"Well……"

Can't help frowning slightly.

The object's upper body and lower body were scattered on the ground some distance away.

The inside of the abdominal cavity can be seen from the break, and because the structure inside is fairly fine, it makes people feel like they are spying on the inside of the human body.The exposed gears, wires and other parts create a more disgusting atmosphere than human corpses.

Both feet have been completely smashed, so it should be restricted in movement.

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

And the most noticeable thing is the weird wound.

The part where the heart was supposed to be was hollowed out so that only a round hole remained, and the surface of the wound was extremely smooth, like candy that had been licked until it melted.

Not good.

After finally getting out of "Zhan Chi", I immediately had a physiological reaction.

Akabane Lei really saw that Kobayashi's expression was wrong, so he patted him on the shoulder and even joked leisurely: "cannibal (cannibal) and candy (candy), combining two common words, I don't think the characteristics of the wound are combined. Did it show up completely?"

"...Nice cold joke, Akabane-kun."

Kobayashi gave him a blank look.

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

"By the way, who is the doll of this automaton?"

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

"Oh, it's him."

Kobayashi's bad mood immediately improved.

Because that guy not only sneaked up on Kobayashi with many people during the day, but also sneaked up on Akabane Leizhen again in the evening, and being eaten by the [Demon Eater]'s magic circuit can be regarded as the punishment he deserved.

But don't laugh!
If you laugh, your career as a puppet user will be over.

Now almost all the students are gathered here, the appearance of [Demon Eater] makes people panic, if he laughs at this time, even if he didn’t do it, he will be labeled by the panicked and clueless students, which will definitely cause unnecessary trouble trouble.

Turn around and ask the last person in the trio.

"What do you think, Charlotte?"

"..."

Charlotte didn't answer.

For a long time, she looked down at the student blankly, without saying a word.

"Charles, did you go into the street with him?"

The sharp words of the handsome young man woke up Charlotte, who was distracted. These words were obviously not scolding, but they made her shrink back obviously, and quickly made an excuse.

"Wait! It's not like that, it's—"

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

Felix overshadowed Charlotte's words indifferently, and led Lei Zhen to the shadow of the garden bushes.

Charlotte looked at his back, raised the corners of his eyes, showing blazing eyes, turned and left without saying a word.

"Wait a minute, Charles."

Felix kept his back to her, stopped her in an unexpected tone, and said coldly: "You'd better leave the [Demon Eater] thing alone."

"But--"

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

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

"what--?!"

"You didn't choose me, but Kobayashi. Is that the case?"

"How come, it's not..."

Charlotte froze on the spot in astonishment.

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

After Felix finished speaking, he quietly turned and left.

Charlotte, on the other hand, had a pale face like an automaton that died in the corner, and her petite body trembled slightly.

"W-what to do, I am hated by Felix! What to do... what to do... what to do...!"

The words murmured in his mouth made people feel distressed.

"Hey……"

"You leave me alone!"

Charlotte shook off Kobayashi's hand and ran away as fast as she could.

Watching her thin figure leave, the corners of Xiao Lin's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he complained softly, "Hey, I'm the one being used."

What's going on, this depressed mood.

It's the CPU, it's the CPU, right?
The blond masquerade squinted, using himself to put pressure on Charlotte, deliberately arousing the other party's guilt, so that Charlotte would turn to apologize to Felix and then become more devoted to him.

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

"Master Xiaolin, don't you want to catch up?"

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

However, Xiao Lin asked back: "Why? I have already told her that even men are jealous, so let her not get too close to other men, otherwise it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"That's right, but the other party also has good intentions, isn't it?"

Seeing that this reason could not convince Xiao Lin, Liu Zi lowered her head slightly and a shadow appeared on her face, and said in a low voice: "And someone is using Mrs. Xiao Lin to play with the feelings of girls. Are you going to swallow your anger and follow such an incompetent master?" But it would lower my rating."

"...That's right."

Kobayashi nodded in agreement.

After a pause, he raised a nasty smile and said, "Is it really okay, I don't care what it will develop into."

"But no matter what happens in the end, as Master Xiaolin's waiter, I will stand by your side unswervingly." Liu Zi said the moving words plainly.

Charlotte, probably as you said.

I, who will be dominated by automatons, may really be a worthless man.

Or is it……

"Master Xiaolin, as your waiter, I have to say that your character is sometimes unexpectedly distorted."

"...You're right, Liuzi."

I really don't think so in my heart.

----

Kobayashi did not turn around and leave like Charlotte, but went straight to Felix and Akabane Raima.

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 investigating the situation.

"Xiao Lin?"

"Wait, let him in."

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

"Yo, good evening, both of you."

Kobayashi raised his hand to say hello, and then said to Felix: "I don't know if the two of you need help? Maybe because of some off-court factors, you said that unrelated people should leave as soon as possible."

"People who have nothing to do with it will naturally leave as soon as possible... Even so, you are an exception, Xiaolin."

Felix's preferential treatment to Xiaolin was a bit too much, and he even said gently: "The matter between you and Charles will not affect you and me, so please rest assured."

"No, no, Charlotte and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Kobayashi waved his hand.

Explaining lightly is completely different from eagerly defending, but it is very convincing.

"yes."

Felix had a smile on his face, as if he was relieved to know that the person he liked 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 possessed [Five Visions], relied on his super sharp vision to spot him.

Akabane Leizhen also quickly smoothed things over, saying: "Felix agrees with me, so don't worry. To be honest, Kobayashi is very fearful as a competitor, but if he is a partner, he will be very reassuring. After all, his strength should not be underestimated."

"It's no good to praise me like that, Akabane-kun." Kobayashi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was very satisfied with his praise.

Felix looked at them with a bewildering smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

----

The results of the investigation were not satisfactory. Just like the guards who could only come out to wash the ground, the discipline committee members also returned without success this time.

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

But that's it.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Lin was on his way back to the dormitory.

"Wait a minute, Kobayashi."

"……Um?"

Suddenly someone called him from behind.

Turning his head, he saw a very intellectual girl with lively shoulder-length hair and glasses.

Although her appearance is neat and dignified, it seems that she should be born in a noble family, but it is undeniable that compared to Charlotte and Felix, she gives people a slightly simpler impression.

At the same time, she wears the discipline committee armband of the same style as Felix's on her arm.And, wearing white gloves that symbolize party participants.

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

"You know me?"

"Of course. After all, there is a person who praises his assistant's perfection in his ears every day."

Kobayashi was alluding to Felix.

However, the other party didn't mention her existence at all. Instead, Akabane Leizhen told him, because he found that the other party gave people a sense of incongruity, although it was only for a moment.

"Humph."

She snorted lightly, and she didn't know whether she was shy or sneering, but her attitude was always quite ambiguous.

Xiao Lin took the initiative to advance the topic and asked, "Then, what can I do for you?"

"Although I feel a little sorry for saying this, I still want to say it." After laying the groundwork, Lisette said seriously, "Please be careful with Charlotte, her doll is a forbidden doll (bandoll)."

"Forbidden doll?"

"You also know that taboo dolls are dolls that use certain parts of the human body, which violates the ethics of magicians. According to the legend handed down by the Earl of Billau, in the past, Sigmund devoured humans and burned down towns. Bad thing, if you don’t eat meat regularly, you won’t be able to maintain your body.”

"Haha~ Your words seem to say that Charlotte is the murderer."

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

"yes."

Kobayashi nodded in thought.

Just when Lisette thought he listened to her words, Xiao Lin suddenly said: "Well... Let me ask you, you didn't mean to throw Charlotte dirty water on purpose, right?"

"……why?"

"Because Felix is ​​the most popular student in the academy, and you and Charlotte both like him. You two are jealous of each other and don't like each other, and Felix has always been interested in Charlotte. Now she is misunderstood so You come here to splash dirty water or something..."

"That's not it!"

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, so be serious!"

"Don't be so angry."

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

"------!"

Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Lisette immediately restrained herself, even a little flustered.

"Speaking of which, I also have a question."

"what is the problem."

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

but--

"Why are you there when the [Demon Eater] is gnawing on its prey?"

Sharp questions are very harsh.

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

"No, no, how come."

Xiao Lin waved his hands and laughed, "However, you said that the swallowed puppet is an iron ball envoy. Why do you think so? I'm just curious about this. After all, it's impossible to judge that scene and that face."

"No matter who it is, it's clear at a glance, that iconic iron ball..."

"I smashed the feet of the puppet that was eaten... But under normal circumstances, people would think it was done by the iron ball, right? If you think that the weapon has been reversed, you need certain prerequisites, for example... Seen it with your own eyes, or something?"

"usually……!"

Lisette desperately endured so that her voice would not tremble, and retorted: "No one would want to leave evidence enough to lock themselves as a prisoner at the scene, if it was a prop used by [Demon Eater] , then it should be taken away when he leaves."

"Really? But except for the magic circuit, that guy left everything on the scene."

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

"Is it your pure wishful thinking?"

"Stop picking on language, I'm innocent!"

Kobayashi pressed on every step of the way, causing Lysette to have a very strong stress response.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be so angry. I can't hold on to my intellectual face again."

"...Tsk."

Lisette clicked her tongue in displeasure.

"That's all I have to say." Kobayashi turned around unpreparedly, and said, "By the way, Professor Kimberly once said in class that automatic dolls imitating humans is also very boring. ah."

"------!!!"

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, it's just a feeling."

The wicked laughter was extremely harsh.

　Thank you [Dani Buddhist Temple Wutian] for the rewards, and I am very sorry for the delay in adding more. The sprained back did affect me a little.

Thank you again for your reward, I wish you a happy and prosperous future, thank you!
