A Core Ship From The Start
/ A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 701
Chapter 701: Chapter 517 Dark City_1 Chapter 701: Chapter 517 Dark City_1 When Lorena found out that the evil spirit occupying the haunted house had been eliminated, she didn't hide her disappointment. After all, she had originally wanted to exterminate the demon herself, but unfortunately…
“Eh? That was quick.”
“I didn't expect it either, these two idiots were so stupid, they took action the day we moved in.”
Helpless in the face of Lorena's disappointment, Duanmu Huai spread his hands – after all, he hadn't expected this either. Normally, according to the trend of ghost movies, it wouldn't happen this way. But unfortunately…the evil spirit here doesn't follow the rules.
“Did you find anything on your end?”
“Absolutely nothing.”
Lorena shook her head.
“Even though this place is great for night runs, I haven't run into anything.”
“Ah……”
Despite being prepared for this response, Duanmu Huai was a bit disappointed. From looking at the records, there was no pattern to the dates the victims were attacked over the past few months – they were completely random. He hated random crimes the most.
It reminded Duanmu Huai of a shocking serial strength case from long ago. The perpetrator was equally sporadic, infuriating the police. The criminal was also inconsistent, sometimes lying low for a few months with police surveillance to no avail, only to start his spree as soon as they left. Other times, he'd commit his crimes during the surveillance period.
At the time, many police officers suspected the bastard was purposely playing them.
By the time they caught the suspect, they found out his pattern of committing crimes was tied to his home life – every time he had a fight with his wife, he would go out and commit a crime that night. If they didn't fight, he wouldn't go. He couldn't care less about the police surveillance or barricade…
Who can deal with that kind of logic, right?
If the criminal this time operates similarly, only going out to commit crimes after arguing with his wife, then it's hopeless.
Even a woman's menstrual cycle has a schedule, who can accurately predict when a couple will quarrel?
Wouldn't that make him omniscient?
In short, there's nothing to do now but wait.
After waking up and having breakfast, Lorena left to window shop and fish. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai went back to stake out Royal Masters College. Not to mention, looking at the beautiful young women of Masters College was a pleasure. However, it was unfortunate that although it was a school, the students here didn't wear short mini skirts like in the anime. Instead, they wore long dresses…
Well, it had its own charm.
After several days of secret investigation, Duanmu Huai had almost entirely surveyed the information on all the teachers at Royal Masters College. Next, he would start profiling them one by one, like…
Here he comes.
Just then, a man wearing a brown suit and carrying a briefcase stepped into Duanmu Huai's view. This man had average looks and appeared to be somewhat sleazy. What summarized him the most was that he was always cradling his briefcase like a precious treasure, sneaking around like a thief, glancing around while walking forward.
He is…Joseph Capek.
Duanmu Huai watched the man in front of him and quickly pulled out the information. This teacher had a bad reputation among the students, which seemed logical considering his sheepish, thief-like demeanor. Among the female students, he even had the nickname “Briefcase Teacher”.
Well…honestly, he was near the top of Duanmu Huai's suspect list.
Why? Because it's simple.
After all, Duanmu Huai had seen similar characters in the animations he had watched. Unpopular teachers who suddenly gain hypnotic abilities or some sort of equipment, retaliate against students for mocking them, vent their displeasure, then wield their special abilities to make the students their obedient slaves, eventually controlling the entire school…and so on….
Such as in “After School – Wet X Uniform,” or “Hypnotic O Academy,” or “X Works.” Aren't all these shows like that?
Considering Duanmu Huai's extensive experience, this teacher must be up to something!
There's no way he's innocent!
As if to confirm Duanmu Huai's guess, that Professor Capek crossed the square, laughed while hugging his briefcase, and struck up a conversation with a beautiful young girl not far away. The three girls were obviously surprised at his approach. Then, the blonde girl at the front started talking to him, while the other two stood by with expressions of anxiety and nervousness.
Anyone could see that even though Capek seemed enthusiastic, the blonde girl's expression wasn't very positive, even a bit gloomy. Combined with the tense and uneasy expressions of the two girls beside her, it looked more like unsolicited attention. Hm?
Just then, Duanmu Huai saw the bright golden eyes of another girl, and was taken aback.
Isn't this the girl who fell into the river that day? He didn't expect to see her again here.
Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised and curious but didn't take it very seriously. However, to his surprise, the girl seemed to have noticed his gaze. She looked over and when she saw Duanmu Huai, she clearly showed a look of surprise.
