Even though he was 10 meters away and there was a window in the middle, Kieran noticed something was wrong the moment he laid his eyes on the body.
Based on his simple memory, the main academic building of Saint Brilliant High School wasn't that tall, only 5 stories high.
Given the height of 5 stories, it wasn't hard for the body to be badly mutilated.
When the body fell, scratches and scratches would be enough to prevent the fall.
But!
It was impossible for the body to be torn apart like a doll being dismantled.
The height of 5 stories didn't have that kind of impact.
More so!
"Cutting with a sharp blade!"
Kieran glanced over the body where the limbs and torso were connected. It was very smooth, there weren't any signs of flesh being torn apart.
Then, Kieran ran towards the top floor without a second thought.
He picked up the scent of a sub-mission.
In order to save time, Kieran didn't climb up the stairs according to the rules. Instead, he tiptoed on the handrail and used both of his hands to grab the handrail. With a push, he jumped up the stairs.
Repeating the process over and over again, Kieran was like a monkey on a cliff, swiftly and nimbly reaching the top floor.
However, to Kieran's surprise, the door that led to the top floor was locked.
There were two locks on it!
Kieran entered tracking vision and scanned his surroundings.
Other than his own footprints, there were no other footprints, not even a trace.
There wasn't even a trace of blood that caught Kieran's attention.
"Interesting!"
Kieran muttered softly. The Deceiver's key appeared in his hand, his Musou level lockpicking allowed him to open both locks easily.
After pushing the door open, Kieran carefully walked out.
Suddenly, a set of footprints appeared in his tracking vision.
The footprints didn't come from where Kieran was but appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the roof. There were no signs of where the footprints came from, only traces of where the footprints left. The footprints extended all the way to the edge of the roof.
As for what happened after that?
The body fell off the building.
Kieran unconsciously looked up to the sky.
"Did it come from the sky?"
Kieran wondered.
Then, he quickly erased the traces he had left behind and returned to the place where the corpse had fallen.
At this time, some students had already gathered around the corpse.
Even though they were stopped by the school's security guards, these frightened students still couldn't hide the curiosity in their hearts and stuck their heads out to look.
From time to time, there would be exclamations of surprise, followed by a slightly boastful description, which immediately led to even more exclamations of surprise. Amidst such exclamations of surprise, the curiosity of the students grew even more intense.
Curiosity made the students excited. If it weren't for the repeated shouts to stop them, these excited students would have rushed to the corpse.
Although they didn't rush over, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves in this curious and fearful atmosphere.
"It's giving birth again!"
"It's the sports talent student from Class 12!"
"I heard that he has just obtained a place in the Regional Qualifier!"
"Just like the leader of the Occult Society said, the dazzling light doesn't just attract good luck, it also attracts bad luck!"
"I hope misfortune doesn't befall me!"
"You are just a normal person, how could you attract bad luck?"
"You bastard, you are also a normal person, what right do you have to judge me?"
The conversation that was filled with the characteristics of the students instantly attracted Kieran's attention.
During his school days, he was an invisible person. Although he was envious of the student groups, he was an orphan, so it was impossible for him to join any of those groups.
After several failed attempts, Kieran decided to go his own way.
Now?
It was even more impossible for Kieran to join any of them.
Still, it didn't stop Kieran from finding something useful from the conversation.
"Giving birth again? It's not the first time something like this happened!
"Also, the so-called Occult Society …"
Kieran repeated the words in his heart, it seemed like a student group.
He then strode away.
He already heard the sirens.
Since he was carrying all sorts of weapons on his back, if he didn't want to be treated as a suspect, it would be best for him to temporarily hide his weapons.
Saint Brilliant High School's old academic building.
The two-storey building was made entirely out of wood, most of the rooms were used as storerooms but some of the rooms were used as teachers' dormitories.
However, other than Kieran, the newbie, no one else lived in the building.
First, the condition was too poor, water and electricity couldn't be guaranteed, the toilet was still a public one from a long time ago but it was too secluded.
When it was late at night, the pitch black environment was really creepy.
Though, it didn't matter to Kieran.
After hiding everything that he needed, Kieran waited patiently for the police to come and question him.
As a matter of fact, he already heard footsteps.
The squeaking noise from the wooden building that was in disrepair was very clear.
Dok, Dok Dok.
After the knocks, Kieran opened the door and a slightly fat, balding middle-aged man greeted Kieran.
"Teacher 2567!
This is Inspector Oaker! "
The middle-aged man introduced the slightly older man behind him to Kieran.
The man was wearing a pair of trousers with frayed edges, a grayish white shirt over a grayish brown vest and a cap of the same color, revealing his wrinkled face.
While Kieran was sizing up the man, the man was also sizing up the surroundings out of his occupational instinct.
In the end, his eyes landed on Kieran.
"Hello, Teacher 2567!"
The elderly inspector extended his hand.
"Hello!"
Kieran replied with a smile.
He clenched his fist and released it right after.
However, the inspector's finger grazed over the webbing between Kieran's thumb and forefinger and the tip of his middle and index fingers.
The inspector was very discreet.
However, he couldn't hide it from Kieran.
"Teacher 2567 is our newly hired teacher. You know, after those things happened, a lot of teachers chose to resign. We need more teachers to maintain the normal teaching in the school, so Teacher 2567 can't be related to those things!"
The middle-aged bald man said.
Based on Kieran's simple memory, the middle-aged bald man was the dean of Saint Brilliant High School and Kieran was specially recruited by the dean.
"Don't be nervous.
It's just a routine question. "
The inspector showed a kind smile on his relaxed face, he was trying to comfort the dean and Kieran at the same time.
However, the words that came out from the inspector's mouth weren't as simple as that.
"Teacher 2567, you are really young!
Where did you teach before?
Don't you know Saint Brilliant High School has had three suicides? No, if you include the one just now, it's four?
Two jumped off the building, one hanged himself and the last one slit his wrist. "
The words that sounded like a test and a threat came out from the inspector's mouth, it immediately made the dean's face turn sour.
"Enough, Inspector Oaker!"
The dean shouted loudly to stop the inspector.
The sudden voice echoed in Kieran's room, causing buzzing noises everywhere.
Gak Tsk!
The glass on the window started to crack like a spider web.
Then, the glass shattered into pieces.
An invisible force wrapped in broken glass shot towards the three people in the room like arrows. (To be continued)
