"Santa Claus really exists in the world!?" x2
Hearing Wang Jiang's words, both Qiao Ke and Su Liang were shocked, but Qiao Ke felt frightened, while Su Liang was more surprised.
The word Christmas refers to the birth day of Jesus in Western Christianity, and Santa Claus refers to the derivative image of Nicholas, a Christian saint who likes to give to the poor.
If what Wang Jiang said is true, it is tantamount to telling Jiao Ke that the supernatural index of this world is much higher than he imagined.
"To be precise, it should be the elf that you call 'Santa Claus'."
As an outstanding Dafa dog, Wang Jiang easily restored what happened after combining the remaining traces at the crime scene with what Suliang did last night.
This starts with the so-called Santa Claus elves and the rituals in urban legends.
As mentioned before, most elves live in the elven world, and only in rare cases can they extend their tentacles to the material plane where humans live.
The "ritual" is one of several rare situations. As long as certain conditions are met or agreed upon or explicitly stated, and a sufficient price is paid, the elves can gain the power to appear in the material plane through the act of "ritual".
Generally speaking, qualified ritualists will use standardized rituals to bind themselves and the elves, so that the elves who come must act according to the rules and perform as many obligations as per the contract according to the price paid.
However, this is not the case with conventional rituals like urban legends, which are filled with a lot of meaningless and even wrong information. There are many parts in them that can be deliberately blurred, and there is no guarantee for both parties performing the ritual.
In other words, performing this ritual does not provide any protection to the performer, nor does it impose any compulsion on the elves.
The former two parties are equal (at least there is a chance for qualified ritual users to be equal), while the latter two parties have no restrictions.
After listening to Wang Jiang's explanation, Su Liang looked very ugly: "In other words, because of our irresponsible ceremony, did the unrestrained Santa Claus really come and punish us?"
"That's not the case. In fact, it is just an elf that you call, or that you mistake for 'Santa Claus'."
Wang Jiang jumped on the bed and looked directly at Su Liang, and explained seriously: "And the mysterious disappearance of your candy is not the result of the ritual, it is just the payment of the price of the ritual. It is precisely because you accidentally triggered the mechanism of this vague ritual. , which led to me and the guard enchantment not being aware of it - this payment mechanism takes effect automatically."
To put it simply, Su Liang's act of sending a letter to "Santa Claus" is equivalent to activating the ritual magic card, and his sugar (so why it is sugar) is the sacrifice of this ritual.
It was precisely because Su Liang was neither under Wang Jiang's nose nor in the house protected by magic when the ceremony was going on, and the candies did legally belong to him.
That's why even a big dog like Wang Jiang can't notice the disappearance of sweets... How strange!
In fact, Wang Jiang had noticed something was wrong as early as last night when Su Liang wrote a letter, and he just allowed it to happen.
The red lettering on the black background is enough for the underworld, but they also wrote something like "999" on the envelope, which turned out to be the devil's code of "666".
The most important thing is that they even burned this thing by the water!
Due to the three phantom demons sealed on the island, Duel Academy is very close to the Elf World. It is basically a semi-alien zone similar to the "SOS Club Activity Room".
In a place like this where anything could go wrong, it was just out of mind to do something like this that was beginning to take shape in a ritual.
Jiao Ke, who heard Wang Jiang's explanation completely in his mind, sat on the bed and gently hit it on the head with his fist.
Jock: I didn’t expect that you look like such an honest dog, but you are actually so naughty.
Wang Jiang: We elves are very boring, and the other party is just a little guy who likes to play pranks. Suffering a little will help increase your wisdom.
Jock: I'll take you out during winter break, but next time you run around the island 20 times without asking me before it happens.
Wang Jiang: No, no, no, I was wrong!
"Ahem."
Jock clapped his hands and concluded: "In other words, you performed the ceremony at 0:00, and paid the sacrifice through the ceremony between 0:00 and 6:00, and then until the end of Christmas at 24:00 Something else should have happened before."
"What...what will happen?" Su Liang looked at Wang Jiang with a guilty conscience, "Will some hungry monsters be summoned?"
Wang Jiang, who witnessed everything happening but did not stop it, tilted his head, pretending to think for a long time, and said in an uncertain tone: "Isn't it impossible? Anyway, it's your holiday, go and ask if you also sent it to Santa last night. How about Xin’s classmates? Maybe someone will see him and be able to provide some clues?”
"You have to follow." Jock lightly hit the elf's head again, "Don't even think about picking yourself out."
So, in order to save their childhood, realize their wishes, and most importantly - find their candy, the "Santa Claus Chase Team·Christmas Special Operations Team" headed by Su Liang began their actions.

"That's the basic situation. Is there anything else you want to add?"
Putting down the notebook he was using to record clues, Su Liang looked at the people he had gathered: Sho Marufuji, Daichi Misawa, Momoe Hamaguchi, Professor Cronus, and the Pharaoh.
"I've said everything that needs to be said, Noone." Cronus said angrily, "I didn't expect there to be someone in the academy who is bold enough to steal the teacher's property. I must make him drop out of school Noone!"
Pharaoh: "Meow!"
Wang Jiang: It’s saying that its monthly fried shrimp is also missing.
Jock: Does just one word "meow" contain such a large amount of information?
Seeing that no one wanted to add anything, Su Liang slammed the notebook on the table.
After experiencing the panic of losing all the sweets, the joy of discovering the existence of Santa Claus, and the fear of realizing that the other party was an unfettered elf summoned by herself through the ritual, Su Liang only had the only thing left in her heart at this moment: she vowed to kill him. The anger that the murderer was caught and brought to justice.
So he tried his best to collect all the clues he could, and found the victim representatives who participated in the party last night from various grades and even faculty members, and got some valuable information from them.
As Wang Jiang expected, not only Suliang, but all the people who sent wishing letters to Santa last night all found out this morning that their most cherished items were missing.
By the way, Professor Kronos did not participate in the students' bonfire party last night, but sent the letter alone on the other side of the lake.
