One of the three Gravens!
Although the face was twisted, Kieran didn't think he would mistake it for someone else.
He looked down at the head that appeared out of nowhere and turned his attention to the corner of the corridor.
Three bodies appeared before Kieran just like that.
A headless body fell on the floor.
The other two bodies were torn apart, their flesh was a mess of blood and organs were scattered all over the floor. It was extremely disgusting.
However, Kieran glanced over the three bodies with a calm expression.
Even at the next moment, all the bodies stood up.
The head even flew up and threw itself at him. Kieran's expression didn't change at all.
He just dished out a kick.
BANG!
The flying head was sent flying back and crashed into the wall of the corridor. After a series of bone-crushing noises, the head was smashed into pieces.
At the same time, a grenade landed in between the three standing bodies.
KABOOM!
Amid the explosion, the bodies of the three Gravens were crushed into pieces.
Kieran dashed through the smoke and ran towards one of the rooms in the building based on the footprints other than the three Gravens'.
Kieran didn't care about the three Gravens' death at all.
However, Kieran was extremely meticulous about the books and information related to [Dien Stone].
After the three Gravens promised to bring Harodet's research materials and notes, they were killed silently in the corridor leading to their destination.
Kieran wouldn't believe it no matter what if someone told him that there was no relation between the three Gravens' deaths.
Facts proved that Kieran's guesses were correct.
The room where the extra footprints entered was already empty.
Other than an empty bookshelf and a study table, there was nothing else, not even a piece of paper.
Maintaining [Tracking]'s vision, Kieran hoped to find more clues.
Unfortunately, there was nothing.
Even the footprints that he first discovered vanished at the window.
The window was opened and the night breeze blew into the room.
It blew the curtains on one side.
A footprint was left on the windowsill.
However, in Kieran's field of vision, there were no traces on the ground outside the window sill.
"Flying? Or? "
Kieran guessed, but his gaze returned to the room.
He looked at the bookshelf that was taller than a grown man and more than two meters wide. There was also a study desk that was bigger than a single bed. The traces that appeared in [Tracking] told Kieran that there used to be hundreds of books and papers on the desk.
But now?
But someone beat them to it.
"Who would be interested in these books?"
"Moreover, you didn't hesitate to kill him to silence him?"
Kieran frowned.
He was certain that the three Gravens who were killed were not killed because they ran into that outsider.
The traces at the scene were too obvious.
The outsider had plenty of time, so much so that he could move all the books and documents in the room until not a single piece of paper was left.
Then, the outsider waited patiently in Harodet's room for a chance.
When the three Gravens appeared, the outsider struck without a second thought. The outsider crushed the three Gravens in a way that killed them before they could even cry for help.
In the end, the outsider purposely set up a surprise for them.
If it wasn't for Kieran's confirmation that a normal dead body wouldn't have a head rolling in front of him in such a sudden manner, he might really be frightened by the outsider.
After scanning the room again and getting no new clues, Kieran quickly went back.
Teresa and Hoskin were waiting anxiously for Kieran.
When they saw Kieran return, both of them heaved a breath of relief.
Both of them clearly heard the explosion from before but they remembered Kieran's order, they wouldn't simply act.
Both of them weren't normal people, they knew if they acted recklessly in such a situation, they would only be more of a hindrance than help.
"How is it?"
Teresa asked.
"You need to gather more people."
I still have to investigate something! "
Kieran didn't explain in detail, he left the room after a simple order.
This time, Kieran went straight to the building.
He first checked the roof, the windows on every floor, then the ground further away.
Following the investigation, Kieran confirmed the outsider had the ability to fly.
At the same time, he also confirmed the outsider's understanding of the Gravens' activity room.
The outsider didn't leave any traces in other places and went straight to Professor Harodet's room.
"Not only did he know the three Gravens and the activity room like the back of his hand, he even has a certain level of understanding of us … Jorffany?"
Kieran unconsciously thought of the observer from the Elder Council.
However, he quickly shook his head.
If it was Jorffany, his previous actions would be too obvious.
It would be so obvious that anyone would suspect him.
As for using suspicion to clear his name?
It was impossible!
After some comparison, Kieran was sure the footprints on the floor weren't Jorffany's. It was a stranger's, one that he had never seen before.
While Kieran was deep in thought, Yuda State University's campus police appeared first.
Utah State University's campus police were the first to arrive. There were as many as ten of them.
Under Teresa's command, they swiftly sealed off the Gravens' activity room and started a carpet search under Hoskin's supervision.
Teresa then walked over to Kieran.
"What the hell happened?
"I need to know more!"
No matter how ridiculous and ridiculous it might seem, it's the same! I've been through things that others couldn't experience in their entire life, nothing can scare me! "
Teresa didn't speak recklessly when she saw Kieran was in deep thoughts.
She spoke until Kieran raised his head.
Kieran's sharp senses noticed the difference in Teresa's words.
Her words sounded like she was trying to share his burden, it was different from the hot-tempered Teresa in his memory.
Right away, Kieran asked with a smile.
"Is this a form of comfort?
Shouldn't you be like this between friends? "
Teresa emphasized on the word 'friends'.
"Of course!"
Kieran didn't deny it and nodded. He then told her everything that had happened, including some of his discoveries.
"Another moving corpse?"
"Damn it!"
Teresa couldn't help but grumble.
It seemed like it was hard to forget the unpleasant memories of her first encounter with the mystical realm.
Though, it didn't stop Teresa from voicing her own hypothesis.
Harondentte died in the explosion at Winchester House and after that, his research materials were emptied by someone. Not only that, but the Graven trio who might know something were killed as well. I suddenly have a strong interest in the collection of Edland Museum! "
Teresa said.
Kieran's heart skipped a beat.
However, on the surface, Kieran nodded.
"Me too!"
