"Paul!
The third victim who was eaten by a wild beast!
I need all the information on him, the more detailed the better! "
Kieran said.
Paul was the only special one among the five victims, and it caught Kieran's attention.
Kieran had a general idea of what was going on.
Of course, before he had a clear understanding of the situation, Kieran would not make any more assumptions.
This was because it would only affect his most objective analysis and evaluation.
Kieran knew how scary a first impression could be.
From Kieran's point of view, it was a bad habit no less than a bad habit.
"Paul?
Sure, please wait a moment! "
Mr. Tough-Guy G was doubtful about Kieran's request.
Apart from the third victim, Paul, he had also studied all the victims of the beast-eating incidents in detail.
However, he had not found anything.
Still, that did not stop him from following Kieran's instructions.
Ten minutes later, Mr. Tough-Guy G reappeared with two thick leather bags in his hands.
"Paul's experience from the moment he entered the orphanage to the moment he died are all in these bags!
This is all the information I can find!
Do you need the other four? "
Mr. Tough-Guy G patted the leather bags.
"Thanks, but not at the moment!"
Kieran raised his hand with a smile and opened the two leather bags.
The information in the bags was arranged according to time and date, with Paul's growth over the past 20 years as the axis.
One of them was about Paul's childhood in the orphanage, then his teenage years, and finally his adult life, including but not limited to school, club activities, and dating.
The other one was for Paul's miscellaneous matters, including more interpersonal relationships outside of school.
Kieran looked through them one by one, but he did not find anything special.
Paul was not the smartest or the stupidest, but his grades were excellent. Aside from being an orphan, he was a little antisocial. He was not good at communicating with people, but he was no different from a normal person.
He had idols when he was young, and he had been in a young relationship, but it ended without a hitch.
After he went to university. Because of the increasing expenses, he began to work more jobs.
However, his results were still very good, and he was the recipient of the scholarship every year.
Apart from the fact that he was an orphan and needed to fend for himself. Paul's experience was really ordinary.
However, Kieran did not give up because of this.
He continued to read carefully until he reached the last page.
That was the full stop of Paul's life.
It was a photo of his left arm.
The arm in the photo was incomplete. There was no palm, and there was no part above the elbow. There was only the forearm.
But even so, this forearm was badly mutilated, and only a few fragmented characters and tattoos were still clear.
It was also because of these fragmented characters that people were able to confirm Paul's identity.
There was an obvious mark on Paul's arm. Kieran was not surprised. This was the only way he could confirm his initial guess.
Kieran squinted his eyes when he got a clear look at the words on the tattoo though.
He recognized these characters.
It was not because he had obtained a temporary language!
But because …
[Mystical Knowledge]!
Kieran could use [Mystical Knowledge] to read the characters and even pronounce them, but he could not understand the meaning behind them.
They were not complete.
They were just a part of a certain meaning.
[Mystical Knowledge] had a specific meaning, and every single one of them was long and complicated. Not only were there words, but there were also symbols. Some of them were even incomprehensible to normal people.
Just like any other language, any slight changes would cause the meaning of the words to become completely different.
[Mystical Knowledge] was the same.
'Burn' and 'Freeze' were only two characters that were different. There were 14 characters that formed them, which meant that the remaining 12 characters were exactly the same.
Therefore, these characters were not only mysterious, but also extremely hard to learn.
However, the mysterious and hard to learn knowledge had appeared on Paul's arm in the form of a tattoo.
Kieran found it hard to believe.
"Paul planned the 'beast cannibalism' incident?"
And set up that giant magic circle? "
Kieran guessed.
But … He quickly shook his head.
He trusted Mr. Pervert's intelligence network.
If Mr. Pervert had confirmed that Sphendix and Paul had nothing to do with each other, then Paul would not have anything to do with Sphendix.
It did not matter if it was on the surface or in the dark.
Unless Paul could change his appearance.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to hide from Mr. Pervert's spies in Sphendix.
There was another more important point.
If Kieran's guess was correct, it would have to be based on the fact that Paul had a certain level of [Mystical Knowledge] and knew how to set up a complete magic circle.
It was not possible for a 20 year old orphan like Paul to do so.
A person who was not very smart would have to put in a lot of effort to maintain excellent grades in school.
On top of that, he would have to learn [Mystical Knowledge] and work a part-time job to support himself.
It was beyond a normal person's energy and stamina.
Kieran, who had come from a similar background, had gone through similar experiences.
Back then, he would have been thankful if he could barely keep up with his studies, let alone maintain excellent grades.
That was why Kieran had dropped out of school and spent more time working part-time.
Especially learning [Mystical Knowledge]!
With his Master Level [Mystical Knowledge], Kieran knew how difficult it was to master the skill.
With Paul's age, it would be extremely difficult for him to reach a certain level even if he were to focus on learning the complicated, abstruse, and obscure knowledge in the normal way. Not to mention being distracted, even if he were to focus on learning, it would be extremely difficult for him to reach a certain level.
Not to mention, he would need to know how to set up a complete magic circle.
It was not something that could be solved by self-study. He would need someone to teach him how to do it.
Kieran's Master Level [Mystical Knowledge] did not mention anything about incantations.
In other words, someone had taught him!
"Someone taught Paul?
Or did Paul see something or was influenced by someone or something, so he tattooed it on his forearm? "
The thoughts that popped up in his mind made Kieran instinctively flip through Paul's files and pictures.
He wanted to find someone who might have taught or influenced Paul's [Mystical Knowledge] and confirm the runes on his forearm.
However, the results disappointed Kieran.
Kieran's files did not show anyone who was particularly close to Paul or who might have taught or influenced him.
There were a lot of pictures of Paul though.
Most of them were pictures of him in formal suits and leather shoes. There was not a single picture of his daily life.
Considering Paul's identity as an orphan, it was normal for him to be a loner.
However, after a few runes appeared on Paul's forearm, he seemed different.
"Was it an intentional cover up?"
Kieran wasn't too sure of his guess.
Then, Kieran rubbed his swollen temples.
He thought he had found a clue, but it had led him in a big circle and back to the starting point.
It even overthrew Kieran's initial hypothesis.
"Why did he do this?"
Kieran muttered to himself.
