"Wh … What?"
Xia Lu was completely stunned.
"Your dream will be destroyed."
Such a sentence made Xia Lu unable to remain silent no matter what.
Even Sigmund raised his head and looked at Rozen.
"… What else did you find?"
Sigmund stared at Rozen and asked in a deep voice.
Rozen didn't try to hide it, and he straightforwardly said his conjecture.
"How do you think the Magi Nibblers deal with the missing items after each attack?"
The Magic Circuit was eaten because it could strengthen one's own strength.
The students were hiding because they couldn't let others confirm their deaths, lest the forces behind them get involved.
"But, there are more than 20 missing students. How did they hide so many people?"
Rozen pointed that out.
That was the problem.
One had to know that the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Mechanical Engineering was an autonomous region, and it had great management and control over the students and puppets within the academy.
Thinking about it, when Rozen first came to this academy and stood in front of the gate, didn't he see a building that looked like a military fortress?
There was even a muzzle at the gate, and it wasn't aimed outside the academy, but inside the academy.
Although it was to prevent automatons from being taken out without permission, it was almost impossible to take a corpse out without being discovered.
Unless the other party could fly.
Otherwise, as far as Rozen knew, it was very difficult to take a corpse out of the academy without being discovered.
If the other party could do that, then the attack on Rozen last time wouldn't be so easy to be discovered, and he wouldn't have to flee so hard when he failed.
In view of that, the other party was bound to get rid of the students in the academy.
"But the places in the academy that can hide the bodies without being discovered are extremely limited. Many murderers were exposed when they were disposing of the bodies. Even if the body was buried, it would leave loose soil. Dismembering the body will leave blood stains. Even just moving the body may leave hair and skin. But the Magi Nibblers can dispose of more than 20 bodies without leaving a trace. This is not something a student can do."
Rozen's calm words made Ye Ye, Xia Lu, and Sigmund's expression gradually turned pale.
That was because the crowd had already understood the meaning behind those words.
"You mean …" Xia Lu said with a trembling voice: "Maybe the Magi Nibblers are not just a student, but there is a powerful force behind them?"
"What else?" Rozen said lightly: "The academy is under the protection of the discipline committee and the guards. Even if the academy has autonomy, its territory is limited, and the places to hide people are quite limited. It's not difficult to thoroughly search such a place."
As a result, even until now, the academy still didn't find even a single victim, let alone the slightest trace of the Magi Nibblers.
What did that mean?
"It means that the other party hid the bodies in a place that even the discipline committee and the guards won't search."
That's right.
It's not that they can't search, but they won't search.
This was not an impossible task.
Even in this academy, there were some places that the discipline committee and the guards were not allowed to search.
For example, the principal's residence.
For example, the important workshop.
For example, the warehouse that stored precious automatons, magic books, magic equipment, and so on.
Those places were not allowed to be searched by the discipline committee and the guards.
The Magi Nibblers could hide the bodies in such places.
The problem was …
"Are these places that people can freely enter and exit, and even hide the bodies without anyone knowing?"
Rozen said indifferently.
"As an important institution in the academy, it's impossible to do this without some tricks, right?"
That was why he said that there was a powerful force behind the Magi Nibblers.
Only in this way could the other party have the identity to freely enter and exit these places.
Only in this way could the other party not be found. Because there was a powerful force behind him, he had the ability to help him clean up the mess.
Maybe someone was in cahoots with him.
Maybe he was controlling a powerful force.
Regardless of which one it was, it proved that this faction was able to display sufficient privileges in this autonomous academy, which was why they were able to achieve all of this.
So …
"Maybe this time, we're targeting the academy, the professors, the discipline committee, the guards, and even the Night Assembly's executive department."
Rozen looked at Xia Lu's face that gradually turned pale and said.
"If you offend such a force, will your journey in the Night Assembly really be able to unfold as you wish, or even win the final victory and become the demon king?"
Xia Lu was faced with a very real problem.
As Rozen said, the enemy they faced this time may be more terrifying than they thought.
It wasn't that the enemy was powerful, but the influence behind them was terrifying.
If the other party was really the academy, the professors, the discipline committee, the guards, or even the Night Assembly's executive department, then for Xia Lu, who wanted to win the Night Assembly, it was definitely not a good thing to offend them.
One wrong move and Xia Lu's dream will really be destroyed.
The other party had that kind of ability.
In summary, Rozen must tell Xia Lu.
"It's better if you don't get involved in this matter."
Rozen said without hesitation.
"This is not an enemy you can deal with now, stop it and leave."
That was what Rozen wanted to say to Xia Lu.
Are you kidding me!?
Xia Lu really wanted to yell out loud.
However, her voice felt like it was stuck in her throat, causing her mouth to tremble non-stop. In the end, she couldn't say a word.
Sigmund spoke as if his heart ached for Xia Lu when he saw her like this.
"Let's go, Xia Lu."
Sigmund helped Xia Lu make a choice.
So, Xia Lu bit her lips, clenched her fists, and lowered her head in the end, unable to say a word.
After a short while, Xia Lu left with Sigmund.
Her silhouette looked as if it would collapse at any time. She looked so fragile and vulnerable.
"Miss Xia Lu …"
Looking at Xia Lu like this, even Ye Ye couldn't bear to say to Rozen.
"Aren't we being too cruel to Miss Xia Lu?"
Ye Ye said such a sentence.
But …
"It's good enough for her."
Rozen sighed, turned around, and looked at Frey's direction again.
"After all, reality is often crueler."
An unknown murmur came out of Rozen's mouth and then disappeared.
Just like that, Xia Lu left the place.
Only Rozen and Ye Ye were left, continuing to monitor the situation around Frey.
