"Hey, have you heard? A very scary 'pig man' has appeared in the capital recently!"
In school, Wayne overheard someone whispering aside.
Noticing that very distinctive and peculiar title, he secretly pricked up his ears alertly.
"Pig man? What is that?" a girl on the seat asked casually.
The boy who just spoke replied with a hint of fear in his tone: "I heard that it is a terrifying monster with a pig head and a human body... It will snatch away people walking alone on the street at night, and then, it will do indescribable things. "
"???"
The girl looked shocked, "You're lying, right? How could there be such a monster!"
Others couldn't help but look suspicious.
"It's true!" Seeing that his classmates didn't believe him, the boy was obviously anxious and his voice became louder unconsciously. "Several witnesses have appeared. The victims were both male and female. Their experiences were very tragic... Everyone, please do not go out alone in the middle of the night. It is very dangerous!"
However, when another boy heard his serious warning, he laughed nonchalantly.
"What are you afraid of? We are magicians! If this uncle encounters me, he must show his power to that pig head."
Obviously he just wanted to remind everyone to be careful, but as if he was being treated as a coward by others, the boy hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Witnessing this scene, Wayne, who was sitting not far away, was thoughtful.
However, not only in the classroom, he once again heard someone talking about "pig people" in the Lily Club.
"It seems that several people have reported the case to the city guard, and there are even powerful magicians among them..."
"Alas! The royal capital has been really uneasy recently~"
Halfway through hearing this, Wayne walked up to him and said, "Guys, can you tell me about the rumors about pigmen?"
"Huh? Is President Wayne also interested in these things?"
The Lily Club members seemed surprised by Wayne's active participation.
He just nodded and said, "Yeah... because it does sound concerning."
"Who says it's not the case! When the gossip first spread, everyone thought it was a lie. But two days ago, a man suddenly brought a corpse to the city guard to report the crime, saying that his newlywed wife had been brutally raped by pigmen. After being tortured and killed...this matter attracted the attention of officials."
"The patrol guards have increased their manpower. If the number of victims continues to increase, martial law may be imposed for a period of time."
"Alas, what a pity for my colorful night life~"
There was a lot of discussion in the activity room for a while.
The current curfew regulations are actually very loose for nobles like them. After all, the family are all well-known figures in the capital. As long as they don't leave the city, even if they encounter a patrol guard, they can be let off with a little explanation.
Precisely because everyone here is from the powerful class, the inside information involved in everyone's conversations is often very accurate and detailed.
After finding out all the information they knew without leaving a trace, Wayne quietly withdrew from the chat circle.
Today is not a group meeting time, and there are not many people staying in the activity room to kill time.
As for Chris, she was obsessed with finishing comics recently. She couldn't wait to drag Eve and the others into the studio as soon as get out of class was over.
Wayne was just thinking about whether he should go to the studio to kill some time, but he didn't expect that he was blocked by someone as soon as he stepped out of the door of the activity room.
Geli frowned and leaned against the wall, as if he was a little impatient from waiting.
"Have you had fun talking to those people?"
"...I didn't enjoy chatting with you." Wayne showed her an impeccable smile.
"Tsk."
Displeased, she took two steps forward, grabbed Wayne's bow tie and pulled it out.
"Hey..." Wayne reluctantly followed her, holding her hand and protecting his collar.
"Wait until the tie comes off," he protested quietly.
"If you tear it off, won't you tie it again yourself?"
At this point, Geli paused.
"Or is it that Chris used to do things like tying a bow tie?"
The topic became vaguely dangerous.
"This really doesn't exist."
It would be nice if Chrissy didn't let herself tie the ribbon for her.
He just felt that it would be difficult for him to explain if he was accidentally torn off, and now... the way he looked like a dog being led by her was really unsightly.
Geli snorted coldly, not sure whether he believed it or not.
Pulling Wayne all the way, Songli dragged him to the academy dormitory area.
Since students usually do not stay overnight but go home every day, this place is usually vacant.
After getting the key from the dormitory manager who had already bribed him with ease, Geli pushed him into a certain single room.
Although he was treated a little roughly by Song Li, his final destination was the imaginative place of the dormitory. Wayne's mood was like riding a roller coaster, and he suddenly became excited.
Is singing just to create a space where you can be alone with yourself?
You must be missing yourself, right?
He turned around with bright eyes, and sure enough he saw Ge Li turning his back and locking the door securely.
That's great! Miss Songli, you are the only one who understands me best!
Just as he was about to pounce on her and launch a surprise attack from behind, Geli suddenly turned around and stared at him coldly.
Fainted by her eyes, which were like looking at objects, Wayne put down his raised wolf paw with a bit of embarrassment, and said with a smile: "What, what's wrong?"
"Does the pig-man rumor have anything to do with you?" she asked coldly.
Wayne:? ? ?
He replied thoughtfully: "If you really want to talk about it, it does have some relationship."
Geli's pupils trembled and he was stunned.
"Really...it's you..." She stared at the boy in front of her in disbelief, as if she had fallen into an abyss with no bottom.
Realizing that Song Li's reaction didn't seem right, Wayne looked at her a little strangely. "What is it really me? I mean, I was also investigating things about pig people recently..."
After saying this, he realized what Geli was thinking.
"Hey! You don't think I'm a pig, do you?" He raised his hand and knocked her on the head angrily.
Song Li was stunned for two seconds, and then resisted and knocked off his restless claws.
"Who knows if you are? After all... you are so bad." As she spoke, tears appeared in her eyes.
"Hey, hey, if you want to scold me, scold me as hard as you can. Don't cry..."
Wayne was a little panicked. Seeing the girl he liked crying so pitifully, he couldn't resist it.
