Chapter 528 Midnight Shadow
No matter where you are, the campus at night will give people a weird feeling.
Royal Masters College is no exception.
"How should I put it, this atmosphere is really weird."
Standing in the corridor, looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. It’s not without reason that places like schools, hospitals, and amusement parks often become the sets of horror movies. To be honest, the contrast between those busy places during the day and the silence in the evening is really unsettling.
Not to mention that the Royal Academy is an educational institution with a long history. The decoration here is also quite quaint. The cold moonlight shines into the corridor through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor and shines on the paintings and decorations on the walls. It makes people feel that this is nothing special. I'm really sorry for this atmosphere.
Logically speaking, Duanmu Huai should start investigating clues at this time, looking for traces, and then find out the real culprit.
Unfortunately...it's too much trouble.
And there are too few clues.
So Duanmuhuai just goes hard.
That's right, investigate a ghost, search a ghost, think a ghost. He could just sit back and wait in the master's academy!
Judging from these two situations, it is very likely that the other party launched Sharnos in the Master Academy, and then sucked the two unlucky guys into the Dark City and killed them. If this is the case, then all you have to do is wait and see as before!
As for the notice letters from those idiots... whoever wants to read them can read them, but Duanmu Huai doesn't like them anyway.
What he hates most is people like Kaitou Kidd who are very proud of giving others brain teasers. Although he doesn't know who that idiot is, Duanmuhuai can be sure that when he finds him, he will definitely give it to him. A pass on Euler - he hates the Riddler the most!
The Riddler is no fun! They are all treacherous bastards!
It is already late at night, and ordinary students have already gone home from school. Only some laboratories and discussion rooms still have lights on. In them, several students and teachers can be seen gathering together to discuss various scientific researches. Topic - Of course, for Duanmu Huai, he couldn't understand this kind of heavenly book, so he just listened and eavesdropped outside the laboratories on each floor, mainly because he wanted to see Let's see if anyone discusses topics similar to evil gods...but unfortunately there aren't any.
So Duanmu Huai's only interest immediately turned into finding beautiful women among these people.
But alas no.
This is not to say that there are no beauties in Shuo Academy, there are still beautiful girls like Mary, but after all, the atmosphere here in Fog City is conservative, and no normal young lady will go out for a night out late at night, so Duanmuhuai changed to a laboratory In another laboratory, I basically only saw a bald Mediterranean teacher and a group of tired male laboratory dogs that stuck out their tongues and panted... Well, this is normal.
On the first night, Duanmuhuai gained nothing.
The next night, there was no Duanmuhuai either.
So he had no choice but to make a big move.
Fishing, of course, still requires bait.
"Huh? You want me to be responsible for luring the enemy?"
When she heard the request from Duan Muhuai on the communication machine, Mary was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
"Of course there is no problem, but my access control is very strict. If I stay out all night..."
"No need to go to such trouble, you go back first, and then I will go to your room to find you and take you to school."
"This..."
Facing Duanmu Huai's words, Mary hesitated. As a lady, it was obviously not etiquette to invite a man into her room late at night, but she still nodded.
"I know, but what should I say if someone finds out and asks?"
"Can't you just say that you left your homework or textbooks at school and forgot to take them away?"
"Hey? Can I forget this?"
Mary was shocked when she heard what Duanmuhuai said, and Duanmuhuai was also shocked when she heard what Mary said.
"What? Didn't you forget your textbooks or homework in school?"
"...I'm very sorry, I have never..."
After all, Mary, as a top student in the history department, worked very hard every day, and it was even more impossible for her to make such a stupid mistake as forgetting her homework at school.
"Uh... in short, that's it, do you understand?"
"I understand, then may I ask sir..."
"Huh?"
"Since I have to forget my homework at school, do I still have to do my homework??"
"...That's just an excuse. It doesn't really mean that you forgot your homework at school." Duanmu Huai sighed helplessly. He found that Mary was sometimes inexplicably confused and honest.
"Okay, I understand."
"Then I'll pick you up in the evening."
Soon, night fell again.
After finishing her homework, Mary sat nervously in the room, waiting for Duanmu Huai's arrival. In fact, she didn't know how Duanmuhuai would appear. According to Mary's idea, Lorena should be responsible for delivering the message as before, so that she could easily explain to Mrs. Hudson. But if Duanmuhuai came by himself, what should she do? Explain to Mrs. Henderson...
Just as Mary was thinking about all of this, she suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind her. Mary turned her head and saw that the originally closed window had opened at some point, and the cold night wind was blowing from outside. Come in.
Didn't you close the door?
Mary walked to the window, stretched out her hand to try to pull the window back and close it. She leaned out, and then——a big hand suddenly appeared from above Mary’s head and grabbed her collar. Before Mary could react, He came over and took her out of the room like a kitten!
"Yeah————!!"
Suffering a sudden attack, Mary was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to scream. However, a big hand soon appeared from behind and covered Mary's mouth. Then, Duanmu Huai's voice sounded.
"Don't scream, it's me."
"First, sir!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's voice, Mary felt relieved. She turned around tremblingly and saw Duanmuhuai squatting on the roof, holding her collar with one hand and watching her.
"It really scared me to death. Why did you use this method? I thought..."
"This is more convenient. Okay, close your mouth, don't talk, be careful of biting your tongue."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai hugged Mary directly in his arms. This scene made Mary's eyes widen in shock, and she looked at Duanmuhuai with a red face. It was her first time to have such close contact with a man, let alone being hugged by his princess. Mary had never thought about it!
"First, sir...wait a moment, we..."
"Okay, let's go!"
As Duanmuhuai's words fell, the next moment Mary felt that the sky in front of her suddenly darkened. She turned her head and saw the building under her quickly moving away, while Duanmuhuai strode forward, walking on the roof. Moving forward and jumping like a flat ground, his huge body didn't look cumbersome at all at this moment. On the contrary, it seemed as ethereal as a shadow.
And Mary, who was held in Duanmuhuai's arms, seemed to be riding a roller coaster at the moment. Duanmuhuai's hard arms were like safety bars, tightly restraining her body, so that Mary could only stare with wide eyes. Looking at the night scene and the earth flying up and down in front of her, she seemed to be swept into the waves, sometimes upward, sometimes downward, and even the whole world was spinning in Mary's eyes...
When Duanmu Huai brought Mary to the Royal Master Academy, Mary could hardly stand.
"Ugh...this feeling...is so uncomfortable..."
Stumbling away from Duanmu Huai's arms, Mary now felt as if she was drunk. She felt that the ground was undulating like waves, and the world in front of her was even more distorted. Mary closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. Only then did she recover, then she turned her head and looked behind her with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Really, sir, you..."
However, Mary stopped before she could finish her words.
The reason is simple. There is no one behind her at this moment.
Duanmuhuai's extremely tall body seemed to have disappeared at this moment.
"???"
Mary was stunned for a moment, then turned her head left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really, sir, what's the use of hiding behind a lamppost."
Looking at Duanmuhuai who was hiding behind a lamppost not far behind her, Mary was a little speechless. She just didn't see it at first glance because it was too dark, but Duanmuhuai was too huge. It was difficult for Mary not to see it.
"...Don't worry about it, you can go your own way and I'll just follow you."
"But...okay."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Mary really wanted to complain that it would be meaningless for him to follow her and be discovered by others, but since Duanmu Huai said so, Mary had no choice but to do so.
"So, where should I go now?"
"Wander around, anywhere."
"…………Okay."
