A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 707

Chapter 707: Chapter 521: The Truth_1 Chapter 707: Chapter 521: The Truth_1 The theft of Professor Capek's office quickly became the hot topic throughout Masters College.

While someone daring to steal in such a heavily guarded location like Masters College was mind-boggling, what captivated everyone's interest was the method — the entire safe had been removed. What the hell?

Some students who had visited Professor Capek's office even used their mathematical skills to calculate that the entire safe was over a meter tall, roughly 180 kilograms – who on earth could have carried it away without anyone noticing?

For a moment, all the students of Masters College were discussing this issue. Some thought it had been stolen by truck, but any vehicle would have had to pass through the main gate guarded by security. However, neither the security guards nor the surveillance cameras had caught any vehicles entering or leaving Masters College that evening. What's more, the enormous safe should have at least left some traces during its movement.

Yet, the reality was that there were not any traces left in the office besides where the safe had originally stood. Not even the police could figure it out.

It was as if the massive safe had vanished from the office into thin air.

This immediately piqued the curiosity of students and professors. Everyone racked their brains to find a reasonable explanation – one professor, with too much free time, even started a research group to answer the question how a 180-kilogram safe could disappear without leaving a trace. If there's too much research money left, maybe it can be given to other research groups.

Of course, the victim, Professor Capek, didn't have the luxury of speculating. After the safe's disappearance, he seemed to become more neurotic than anyone else, staying holed up in his office and clutching his ever-present briefcase like a frightened hamster hiding in a corner, refusing to meet anyone…

As for Professor Capek's situation, Duanmu Huai was totally unaware. In fact, he was standing in front of the safe. The thick, heavy safe door that was originally closed had now been ripped open like thick paper, making it look like a shipping box torn apart due to the recipient's laziness. To Duanmu Huai, it was all the same.

However, the items stored in the safe were a surprise.

“…love letters?”

Holding these cheesy letters in his hands, Duanmu Huai felt sick to his stomach. The words were so artificial that they almost made him want to cry… Well, maybe it's because Duanmu Huai had never written a love letter, so he couldn't understand this approach.

However, these love letters were not addressed to Charlotte but to a woman named Mariabel.

Of course, Duanmu Huai wasn't interested in love letters or other women. Fortunately, other than his secret love letters, this professor also kept some useful documents and photos in his safe.

Among them were records about Capek's research society.

According to the file, Capek Research Society originated from a Spirit Descent event held by Dr. Capek a year ago… European nobles always loved these dark activities. To be honest, Duanmu Huai couldn't understand why these aristocrats would waste their time with Spirit Descent or seances.

It would be understandable for teenage girls in Japanese horror movies to play around with Ouija boards for thrill-seeking, but these are grown-ups playing with such nonsensical things – don't they have better things to do? Have cigarettes lost their appeal? Is alcohol no longer enjoyable? Are women no longer enticing? Or have they run short of drugs to get high on?

They must be bored and feeling suicidal.

Duanmu Huai wasn't sure what enlightenment these idiots got from the Spirit Descent event, but after it concluded, they made a decision – to open the Tartar Gate and gain ultimate power.

The Tartar Gate, supposedly the Hell's Gate controlled by Hecate, the goddess of the Underworld… well, they are clearly getting bored and have nothing better to do.

Here, Duanmu Huai saw a familiar name.

As a professor at Masters College, Professor Capek was also one of the guests at Silver Dusk Cottage…

Ah, Silver Dusk Cottage, the reason these idiots were suicidal was now clearer.

Frankly, Silver Dusk Cottage, as a secretive cult organization, has expanded among the elite thanks to the foolish acts of the likes of Professor Capek…

At this point, everything was clear.

The seven lunatics from Silver Dusk Cottage conducted a Spirit Descent event, and somehow were inspired to open the Hell's Gate. They used the Spirit Descent event to form a pact with the World Charnos – Dark City – where the Tartar Gate is located – and gained demonic beasts, or semi-souls. The next step appears to be whoever manages to nurture their demon beast to maturity gets to open Tartar Gate…
