Hearing Kieran's rejection, other than Jen who was still in a daze, Oaker and Kana were in disbelief.
From their point of view, it was a good chance for them to find clues.
"I don't believe in divination!"
Kieran said.
It wasn't exactly the truth but it wasn't a lie either.
Kieran always had his reservations about divination and prophecy.
Especially Tanya!
It wasn't because Tanya needed to take medicine but because of the whole situation!
All sorts of coincidences from before told Kieran that someone was plotting something.
He wasn't sure who the mastermind was, neither was he able to guess what the mastermind's goal was but there was one thing Kieran was clear about.
Given how familiar the mastermind was with Saint Brilliant High School, he must have understood Tanya.
Or in other words, only by understanding Saint Brilliant High School would the mastermind be able to lay out his plan.
Then …
Other than the dead Ling, would Tanya who also had talents be part of the mastermind's plan?
The answer was self-explanatory: she would!
Even from a certain aspect, the mastermind only needed to slightly set up a trap for Tanya to be of greater use, leading the pursuers astray or even setting up a fatal trap.
As for how to influence the possessor of the talents?
If the person before him was Nikorei, Kieran wouldn't worry at all. Given the old lady's strength and character, who would dare to use her as a chess piece in the scheme? Be prepared to be cat food.
But Tanya was different!
A young person with talents might have an immeasurable future but at the moment, she was definitely immature.
If an immature divination master wanted to be influenced, it couldn't be any easier. Kieran had no less than three ways to influence Tanya at the moment and if given enough time, the number of ways would double.
However, Kieran couldn't explain it to a bunch of unconfirmed people.
So, he had to find an excuse.
And …
To test the mastermind of the mastermind's plan.
Coincidentally, there was a decent pathfinder before him.
"If any of you want to use divination to find the murderer, feel free to!
As for me … "
"Inspector Oaker, are you filled with doubts in your heart now? If you don't mind, please follow me, I'll tell you what you want to know. "
Kieran looked at Oaker.
"Alright!"
The inspector furrowed his brows for a moment before finally nodding.
Then, Kieran left the corner of the teaching building without stopping.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't even spare a glance at Kana, Jen and Tanya.
Kieran knew very well that Kana and Jen would continue their investigation even without his reminder. Naturally, they would proceed according to the original plan of the mastermind.
On the contrary, if he were to intervene, even if he were to say a word, it might cause an accident.
But Tanya?
"The mercilessness of fate is like a storm on the sea!"
"My Knight, your words are like a sword piercing my heart, but …"
"I will use the blood in my heart to melt your coldness!"
Hearing those words, Kieran's footsteps quickened when he saw Tanya half-kneeling on the ground with her hands over her chest and a sorrowful look on her face as if she was abandoned by her lover.
This was no longer a simple matter of shame.
It was completely awkward.
…
The old school dormitory, Kieran's dorm.
The window was sealed with plastic sheets, it didn't stop the sunlight from shining through. Although it was a little blurry, the warm feeling didn't change at all.
However, Oaker didn't feel comfortable at all when he was immersed in the praiseworthy warmth.
Although he relied on his years of experience to suppress the chaos in his mind, now that he was in a quieter place, the suppressed chaos gushed out like a volcano eruption.
After two to three minutes, Oaker shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He looked at Kieran who was sitting on the hard bed and asked directly, "What is that thing? Who are you? "
"That thing, we call it a fiend and I guess I am one of those who hunt and kill fiends. Those who know about us call us Monster Hunters."
Kieran wasn't nervous at all as he spilled out the information that he only knew. It was hard to tell that he was actually a newbie in this field.
"Fiend?!"
Oaker couldn't help but gasp when he heard the answer.
He really couldn't explain such a legendary thing that suddenly appeared before his eyes.
However, what he saw wouldn't lie.
Another round of silence.
However, a mere dozen seconds later, Oaker raised his head again.
"So you were hired by the dean to solve the problem in Saint Brilliant?"
Oaker asked.
Kieran nodded with a smile.
Kieran was too cooperative, he didn't even need Oaker's reminder and chose the answer that Oaker wanted.
Of course, Oaker still had to add some words.
"You can say that.
That bastard came to me in search of a protective talisman but he didn't think that since he chose to ask for help, he should be honest with me.
"He's hiding something important from me, so …"
"He's dead!"
Kieran said in a skillful manner.
He was avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial, it didn't have any practical meaning but it left enough room for one's imagination to run wild.
Kieran's words completely misled Oaker.
"No wonder he acted like that yesterday …"
"Why are you telling me all of this?"
You don't look like a kind-hearted person who would help others for free. "
Oaker took in a deep breath and looked at Kieran with a straight face.
"Am I as obvious as I appear?"
Don't be nervous, if I really have malicious intent, you would be dead. Believe me, dealing with someone like you … doesn't require much effort and it won't cause me any trouble because I will clean up the place cleanly! "
"Think about it, how many unsolved cases are there every year?
But, compared to those horrifying scenes and puzzling cases, it's much better, isn't it? "
Kieran said as he looked at Oaker, his eyes had an unfathomable smile.
"What are you trying to say?"
Oaker asked in a heavy tone.
Even though Kieran's words sounded like he was mocking them for not being able to do their job well, Oaker was already an old man, he wasn't a young lad anymore.
When impulsiveness faded with time, all that was left was the shrewdness and ruthlessness of deep thoughts.
Oaker looked at Kieran quietly.
He hoped to see through Kieran's intentions with his wise gaze that was accumulated over the years.
But ultimately, what surprised Oaker was the seemingly young Kieran before him was sitting there calmly allowing Oaker to size him up. Kieran wasn't anxious at all, neither was he anxious.
It was like standing in front of a puddle of stagnant water, what one saw was the calm water and …
Yourself!
Time passed, minute by minute.
As time went by, Oaker started to get anxious since he couldn't get any information from Kieran.
Just when Oaker was about to speak, Kieran beat him to it.
"Work together!"
Kieran said.
