As soon as he approached his destination, Wayne felt something was wrong.
It's so quiet.
Even the darkness shrouding the surroundings seemed to be deeper than before.
Just in case, he activated his perception again.
Indeed, as Tasia said, no magic fluctuations could be detected.
But there are still a lot of faint breaths of life, like the stars twinkling slightly in the black night sky, definitely announcing their existence.
At this moment, an unpleasant fishy smell came vaguely from the air.
Wayne was startled and immediately released his senses: "It seems something happened."
Looking at Tasia and Songli, they quickened their pace.
When several people arrived at the door of the target warehouse, they were all shocked and speechless by the tragic scene.
A headless corpse stood quietly at the door, as if continuing its duties in life, guarding the night.
Scarlet blood sprayed everywhere, bringing with it a nauseating stench.
Geli frowned and subconsciously covered his nose.
"He died not long ago and his blood has not yet coagulated." Wayne's face looked ugly.
The warehouse door was now completely undefended, but he had difficulty determining what was going on inside.
"Wayne...if it's an emergency, don't worry about my safety." After saying this, Tasia pushed the door open without hesitation.
After being stunned for a moment, Wayne looked at Ge Li.
Just as he was about to say something, she reached out and grabbed his clothes with a stubborn look on her face.
"Where you go, I go."
Pursing his lips, Wayne only had time to say "Don't stay too far away from me" before following Tasia.
When they entered the warehouse, they discovered that starting from the door, two straight bloody footprints led deep into the area, with no intention of covering them up.
Only two people?
Are they also here to save the child? Could it be that these gang members accidentally kidnapped a family with a strong background?
Although he was filled with doubts, Wayne did not speak.
Kill the person guarding the door, who probably hasn't left yet.
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is difficult to judge whether the other party is well-intentioned.
Suddenly, a rather strange movement came from deep in the warehouse.
It sounded like neat and gentle footsteps approaching slowly.
Hearing the sound, Wayne and the three of them stopped and looked at the direction where the footprints disappeared with full vigilance.
I saw a group of children appearing under the dim light.
Each of them put his hands on the shoulders of the person in front of him, closed his eyes, and walked out along the line of bloody footprints with uniform movements.
If they change their walking posture from running to jumping, the effect will probably be the same as that of zombies in movies and TV shows.
No, these people still have signs of life!
"They're still alive."
The fluctuations that I feel belong to them.
"...There is an aura of darkness." Tasia replied in a seemingly erroneous manner.
Almost instantly, Wayne reacted.
The typical characteristic of "dark magic" is to control others.
So, the real murderer is——
Tasia stretched out her right hand, with the palm facing forward, and the five fingers of her left hand clasped the palm of her right hand from the back.
Suddenly, the light shines brightly.
The entire warehouse was as bright as day, as if a sun was rising from it.
The child who was illuminated by the "light" began to have wisps of black mist around his body, which slowly dissipated in the light.
The children's numb faces began to show expressions of pain.
However, the little girl who was walking at the front suddenly opened her eyes, which were filled with blood.
The girl had two braided braids, and although her clothes were not expensive, she was very neatly dressed. It was not difficult to tell that she was originally a young girl with an upright appearance.
But now her face was distorted, her blood-red eyes were open, and she screamed at Tasia with a sharp voice that was not like a human voice.
She opened her mouth wide, howling like a ghost, and rushed towards Tasia very quickly.
Tasia was startled and subconsciously took two steps back. Wayne supported her waist.
Columns of earth elements rose from the ground, trapping the little girl with a crazy look on her face. Six mysterious and inexplicable magic circles emerged at the same time, forming a huge circle that slowly rotated behind Wayne.
A large amount of earth element magic is contained in it, as if it is ready to deliver the strongest blow at any time.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Wherever the light hit, two black shadows released their concealment methods and emerged.
"Long time no see, Master Wayne."
The man clapped his hands and said with admiration and ridicule: "Compared to the last time we met, you have become much stronger!"
Wayne gave him an indifferent look.
But soon, his eyes shifted to the person next to him.
Well, this is also an old acquaintance.
"President?" Tasia exclaimed in disbelief.
——Dulcie Collins.
Last time, he failed to ambush himself and Chris. After escaping, he seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no information about his whereabouts could be found.
However, he escaped by running away, but his family cannot escape.
Hearing Tasia's name, Darcy said in a cold tone: "I am no longer the president."
Tasia finally realized something and was silent for a while before asking with difficulty: "That day...were you really plotting against us?"
Once the incident in the practical class examination room was exposed, Darcy, one of the invigilators, happened to disappear. No matter how you look at it, you can't escape the relationship.
Therefore, he has been listed by the kingdom as a wanted fugitive who is absconding in fear of crime.
But even so, there are still many teachers and students who do not believe that the trusted student president would do such a thing. They believed that Darcy must have been blackmailed, or even framed by a real bad guy.
Because, no matter from any angle, he had no motive to do this.
Would he himself gain anything from having a blood feud with the Winche family? This is completely equivalent to extirpating oneself from the world, and it also brings unimaginable trouble to the entire family.
"Ha... of course it's me!"
Darcy seemed to think this question was stupid and sneered. "If it wasn't me, why would I run?"
"Why did you do that?!"
Tasia was angry.
Of course hurt from someone close is more painful than being hurt by a stranger.
She originally thought that everyone in the student union was a very good person and a friend she could trust.
I have thought more than once that it was a great decision to join the student union on a whim.
Whenever I am ostracized by my classmates and feel pain because of it, it is everyone in the student union who gives me the strength to continue.
...Of course, the same goes for Chrissy and Wayne.
It was their encouragement that made me know——
【Turns out I am not alone. 】
But.
Why betray that trust?
"Because I am truly disgusted with you!" Darcy yelled.
