You call this the mastermind?

Chapter 18: The Little Round Face

Under normal circumstances, the wizard students of the Mixed Blood Association would not gather in large numbers in the club on the first floor.

Because they actually have their own private gathering places and rarely come to this public area.

But today there was a special newcomer (the other one was completely ignored), and it was said that the examiner von der Leyen, who always had a strange temper, and other organizations snatched him.

Everyone was very interested in this, so they gathered together at night without any prior arrangement.

Then they found that the newcomer was indeed as good-looking as the rumors said.

Some female students even had amorous feelings because of this, and would look in his direction from time to time.

But for most men, after the novelty of this kind of thing, a sour and unpleasant feeling arises.

If the newcomer had not chatted with all of them before, some people might have come over to find fault with him.

But although there was no conflict caused by jealousy, the atmosphere in the hall at this moment was not hot.

It could even be said to be a little weird.

The female students were secretly paying attention to Mellen, and the male students were also secretly paying attention to Mellen.

The reasons for their attention were completely different, but it made the place seem very harmonious.

Until a burst of crying suddenly came from upstairs.

"It's little Peter."

Someone recognized the voice, "Could he have fallen down again while walking?"

"It doesn't sound like..."

"It seems there are other noises?"

"Who is arguing?"

As most people focused their attention upstairs, more and more details came into everyone's ears.

So one after another people ran upstairs along the stairs.

As more people went, others followed them to see the excitement.

Mellen mixed in the crowd and soon saw the source of the crying.

It was a little boy with brown hair, about four or five years old, who was now slumped on the ground and crying loudly.

Even after being picked up by someone, the sound did not subside, his nose was full of tears, and his little face was twisted into a ball, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"What happened?" A student frowned when he saw this.

"It's him!"

A little boy standing nearby pointed at the confused little round-faced boy not far from the corridor, and said angrily: "He just knocked Peter down on purpose because he thought we were playing too noisily upstairs!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

The little round-faced boy didn't care about being confused when he heard this, and quickly retorted: "It was you who came to kick the door, and I argued with you, but he suddenly sat on the ground and started crying!"

"You're lying!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another child not far away shouted at him: "It was you who knocked Peter, we all saw it!"

"That's right, we knocked him down!"

"You also falsely accused us of kicking his door, what a bad guy!"

"We just played in the corridor for a while, and he yelled at us!"

"He was even going to get physical..."

There were four or five children in total, chattering one after another.

So the onlookers soon "roughly" knew what was going on, and they looked at the little round-faced boy with different eyes.

Some people looked at him with pity, obviously suffering from the noise of the naughty children.

But most people, when facing this new member, have some common hatred against the enemy.

"You are an adult bullying a few children, how can you be so embarrassed?"

A female student said sarcastically: "You don't think you are a baby who needs everyone's care, do you?"

"It doesn't look like you are injured, but you are crying so hard, it must be very painful."

"He is so cruel..."

"It's not a big deal, but it's the first time I've seen someone who didn't admit it..."

"Why do we have such a new member?"

"..."

I believe there are quite a few children, and they are talking back and forth, making the place very noisy.

In this situation, Xiao Yuanmian had no chance to speak when he wanted to defend himself, so his face turned red, his hands clenched into fists, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.

But he had to endure it...

Melen, who was hiding in the crowd, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

His purpose was just to hope that this would happen, and it wouldn't matter if everyone found out that Xiao Yuanmian was framed.

But I didn't expect that the thing was done so "beautifully"!

Look at the aggrieved look on the faces of those children. They really have acting talent.

It's a pity if they don't act in drama when they grow up...

Turning around, Melen found that the little girl Lily was standing in the corner of the corridor.

Seeing Melen looking over, she put her hands behind her back and nodded to Melen reservedly, but the smug smile on the corner of her mouth could not be concealed.

Melen gave her a thumbs up, and then did not watch the embarrassing look on the little round face here, and turned back to her dormitory.

Discovering a conspiracy that is about to unfold, how to stop it?

If you have a hard fist, of course you can beat those people in advance. But doing so is the limit. After all, it hasn't happened yet. Without evidence, you can't do anything to them.

Wait until it happens to catch people?

This is inferior.

Because what needs to be thought about is, why did this happen? Is it really just like this on the surface?

"Charlie and his gang's ideas are correct."

In the bedroom, Melen wrote on a piece of paper: "I agree with their ideas."

"So I can know their conspiracy."

After the three-part interpretation, a lot of pictures appeared in Mellen's mind.

It made him understand the plan of that group of people in more detail.

But there was no information Mellen wanted in it.

So after coming to his senses, Mellen communicated with the spirit again.

"The plan made by Charlie and his group was instructed by someone."

"I just instructed others."

"So I can know who instructed Charlie."

The handwriting fell, and there was no reaction.

Mellen frowned when he saw this.

This is either because his "search conditions" do not match, or the level of the person behind him is higher than his-

Yes, Mellen is very sure that there must be someone behind this who is instructing, or at least influencing the decision of Charlie and his group.

Because this happened too quickly.

On the first day that Xiao Yuanlian joined, the conspiracy had already shown signs.

It seems that everything is ready, and only Xiao Yuanlian is missing a person like him to take the blame.

But if the round-faced man is really a wild half-blood wizard who came to the group for warmth, he can't use the dirty water on him to achieve the purpose of splitting the pure-blood and half-blood.

So it is obvious that the round-faced man has a complicated background, and Charlie and his group know that the round-faced man has a complicated background.

This can also prove that before this, Charlie's group had already expected that the round-faced man would join the organization and made relevant preparations in advance.

But is it possible for a group of teenagers to predict such a thing in advance?

Maybe, but the probability is too small.

So Melen believes that Charlie's group is not simple behind.

This matter must have a more complicated mystery.

Based on this, Melen's plan is very straightforward.

Instead of trying to stop the conspiracy of the gang, it is better to ask the round-faced man to stop it.

In this way, if there are other people behind the two groups, then the next thing is also their business.

When the two groups of people fight, they just need to hide aside and watch the show.

In this way, no matter how complicated the matter is, it will basically not affect him.

So he encouraged the children to go and find trouble.

As the saying goes, when conflicts are intensified, things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme. When troubles come one after another, even if the little round-faced boy is slow, he can find something wrong, right?

As long as he can find something wrong, he can guess that he has been exposed, and then naturally "turn the table" to fight back.

Generally speaking, this is what Mellen thought.

But when he picked up a book and saw the fate on the panel, he was surprised to find that the little round-faced boy didn't seem to think so deeply at all...

So the fate of Charlie and his gang didn't change at all.

"Damn, it's really troublesome."

Mellen couldn't help sighing, but he wasn't too disappointed.

He had considered that this situation would happen.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to ask a group of children to go and find trouble with the little round-faced boy.

This is not a very troublesome thing-since the little round-faced boy didn't react, why not just remind him.

After listening for a while and making sure that the noise outside had ended, Mellen stood up and walked out the door.

Knock, knock, knock——

The knock sound came from the empty corridor on the second floor.

Mellen stood in front of a door and rubbed his face, making his expression look serious.

The little round face with red eyes ran to open the door soon.

After seeing Mellen, he was stunned.
