St. Freya Academy's monthly break was a total of five days. This was a great thing for Luo Ya because no matter how the students of the Security Department and the Consultation Department tried to hide it, their absence during classes couldn't be covered up.
That's right. Lilian's special operations team, Paul, and the others had secretly hidden in the forest near Forster Station. Due to the distance and time constraints, they couldn't attend classes and carry out missions at the same time. Although the absence of a few people in a large class with hundreds of people wouldn't be noticed, the absence of teachers like Lilian and Luo Ya was still very obvious.
Although Luo Ya felt that the possibility of there being cultists among the students was relatively low, he still couldn't completely rule out this possibility. Once the matter was exposed, this operation would become a wasted effort. The only reward was probably to protect the sender.
Therefore, the best time to act was before the end of the holiday. According to Luo Ya's memories, the enemy did indeed make a move during this period. If he guessed correctly, it should be at the end of the holiday, right before everyone was busy preparing for classes.
And the location of the crime was in this room.
In the dormitory building, the black-haired young man calmly informed the black-haired girl in front of him of his "investigation results." He didn't hide anything from her. Before this, he had considered telling her part of the truth to calm her emotions, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.
What Luo Ya needed the most now was for Melty to have a clear understanding of her situation. Only then could he prevent her from doing some impulsive actions that would give others an opportunity to take advantage of her. But inevitably, when she heard that Shirley was targeted by the cultists and that her fate was unknown, the girl couldn't help but cry uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, Sir. I can't help it …"
Melty said as her tears fell uncontrollably. Luo Ya looked at the girl and didn't say anything. He knew that Melty needed to be released now.
The grief of her good friend's calamity and the fear of being targeted by the cultists were too heavy for a young girl, but it was also something she couldn't escape from. But unlike in the game, Luo Ya was by her side now.
"Miss Melty, I understand the pain and fear in your heart, but I have to tell you that you're not alone now. Your actions aren't meaningless."
The black-haired youth looked at the crying girl and did not say anything to comfort her. Instead, he told her the truth in the most gentle tone.
"Although I'm the only one here, there are hundreds of people who are supporting this operation and working hard behind the scenes, including our two teams who are about to clash head-on with the cult. I know your fear, but please trust us. Trust our determination to protect you and defend justice against evil."
"Senior Shirley's tragedy is heart-wrenching, but what you've done isn't in vain. Because of your kindness and integrity, we've learned of the numerous crimes that the enemy has hidden in the darkness. Countless people will be saved because of this, and the deceased will also be able to rest in peace."
"Miss Melty, you can be proud of yourself. At least, you didn't disappoint the name of St. Freya Academy's student. In this incident, you've done well enough."
Under the youth's gentle praise, the girl finally burst into tears. The tiredness of the past few days also surged up. After a long time, Melty's crying gradually subsided. Only then did Luo Ya speak of his purpose, which was to wait here for the main culprit and protect her.
Without a doubt, Luo Ya's purpose was risky. Melty could've refused, but after hearing that this was the only way to bring the main culprit to justice, the girl decisively agreed.
After a conversation, the exhausted girl returned to her bedroom to rest. Listening to Melty's steady breathing next door, Luo Ya reached into his pocket and took out a delicate little lock.
[Macaron's Hideout]
[The great curse maker, Macaron, created a hideout to escape the enemy's pursuit. When he closes the lock disguised as an accessory, no one can find him again. As for using it to observe the ladies taking a bath in his later years, that's another matter.]
[Equipment effect: Inject curse power, close the lock, and the body will be locked in a small fault space.]
[Restriction condition: No large-scale movement, no curse power fluctuation in the space.]
[Price: 200,000 points]
That's right, this was the first time Luo Ya bought the accessory-like lock at its original price since he owned the system. This was the reason why Luo Ya was confident that he could protect Melty without alerting the enemy.
[Macaron's Hideout] was a rare space curse item. It could form a small fault in the space within a few meters of Luo Ya, making him unable to observe from here. However, due to the instability of the space, once Luo Ya ran out of the range or used a curse, the space would crack and disappear.
This property made [Macaron's Hideout] difficult to use for a sneak attack because he must come out first if he wanted to attack. However, it was still very useful for sneak attacks, hiding, or in this special period.
The young man sat down on the sofa in the living room, then reached out to his waist and buckled the lock. At the moment when the lock was closed, a strange fluctuation came from his waist. Everything in Luo Ya's vision seemed to be covered with a layer of gray color in an instant.
From this moment on, Roja's influence on the real world was completely eliminated. For example, although he was sitting on the sofa in this space, there was no trace of him on the sofa in the real world, there wasn't even a dent in it.
The black-haired young man looked at everything around him and nodded with satisfaction, then he closed his eyes to rest.
"Look at what you've done, Matthews."
In a dark room, a stack of documents on the table under the candlelight was slammed down. Two black-robed men sat opposite to each other at the table. One was a middle-aged man named Matthews, and the other was a masked man with a hoarse voice.
At this time, Matthews, who was called by his name, bowed his head and did not speak. His eyes were on the top of the documents on the table. There was a portrait of a third-year female student at St. Freya Academy. Seeing Melty's portrait, Matthews thought for a moment and said with some respect,
"I have noticed her, Sir Apostle. All her actions are under my control. You don't need to worry."
"Under your control? Oh, that's why I said that you people can't do anything big. This kind of person who finds a problem should be dealt with immediately as soon as there is a sign! She has been acting for a week, what are you waiting for? "
