In order to verify her theory, Ling Ling purposely went to meet the junior sister that Takahashi Kaede mentioned. At the same time, she found the junior sister's life history through the internet in Japan.
"Rarely participates in club activities, likes to arrange flowers, and was absent from the only time she attended a debate. Her cultivation is very high, and she's a quick learner. Introverted, nervous, and she stutters when she speaks in public … this is interesting," Ling Ling quickly browsed through the junior sister's information.
Takahashi Kaede sat beside her and read the information in Ling Ling's notebook. He was a little surprised that Ling Ling had obtained all the information about his junior sister so quickly.
"If you want to know more, can I ask her to come here?" Takahashi Kaede asked.
Ling Ling shook her head. If she was suspicious, the information she obtained would be corrupted. Ling Ling believed in data and analysis more, and did not trust those who were full of lies.
"Have you been seeing her a lot lately?" Ling Ling asked.
"Quite a lot … now that you mention it, I feel like I've been seeing her every day for the past half a month. It must be a coincidence," Takahashi Kaede suddenly came to a realization.
"You know she likes you, right?" Ling Ling asked.
"Well, aren't we supposed to be investigating the strange incident at the West Guard Pavilion? Why are we asking such personal questions?" Takahashi Kaede said awkwardly.
"You're right, maybe it's because I like to gossip too. Do you know the two young men from the Wangyue Clan who did something wrong? It's better if I meet them, "Ling Ling said.
"I do, they are members of the National Training Hall too. It's almost noon. Why don't I ask them to come along? I won't tell them your identity since it's a sensitive matter. We can talk like friends. What do you think?" Takahashi Kaede said.
Ling Ling nodded.
If she were to interrogate them, they would not tell her the truth. Ling Ling would be able to obtain the information she was looking for by chatting with them.
Takahashi Kaede's junior sister was an introverted and unconfident girl. Ten days ago, she suddenly transformed into a "smart" girl and found all kinds of excuses to get close to Takahashi Kaede. She also got Takahashi Kaede's attention and protection.
Of course, this could be because the girl had finally mustered her courage, but Ling Ling felt that it could also be the influence of the "magnetic field." The Red Fiend's terrifying magnetic field would constantly magnify the thoughts in one's mind until one had enough willpower to carry them out, even if it meant committing a crime.
There were still some days before the Moonless Night, so the influence of the Red Devil's magnetic field wasn't great. It was also because it was a weak influence that those so-called "strange" events would happen in the Shuangshou Pavilion.
Ling Ling still needed more evidence to confirm that this was the magnetic field effect of Autumn Red Devil's impending arrival.
…
Lunch was at the students' cafeteria. There were many students here, apart from the members of the National Training Hall. The Shuangshou Pavilion was a branch of a famous school, thus students would often come here to further their studies.
There were many students, around four to five hundred of them, all around the age of twenty. She could also see a few teachers, who would head to the cafeteria on the second floor. Compared to the other places in the West Guard Pavilion, there were fewer tourists here.
"Yo, Takahashi Kaede, I saw a little bee following you around a few days ago. Why is there such a beautiful butterfly around you today? As expected of a celebrity in the National Training Hall, unlike us insignificant people. It's almost impossible for us to even talk to a girl," a man with an afro walked over with a mischievous smile and sat down beside Takahashi Kaede.
Ling Ling sat opposite Takahashi Kaede. She glanced at the man with an afro.
"Yongshan, please don't misunderstand, she's Ozawa's guest. I'm only here to show her around," Takahashi Kaede blushed and explained in a hurry.
"Is that true? I thought you had a new lover, and she's such a cute girl. You can't wait to show her off to us. Mochizuki Seven Fields will be here soon. If she's not your new lover, I'll be bold enough to express my feelings. Otherwise, we won't even have a chance when Mochizuki Seven Fields is here, "the man with an afro smiled.
He purposely sat beside Ling Ling and introduced himself with a serious attitude. He also expressed his interest in being friends with Ling Ling.
"Yongshan, don't be like that. I already told you she's a respected guest. Don't scare her," Takahashi Kaede said to the overly enthusiastic Yongshan.
"HAHAHA, look at how nervous you are. How could you say you don't have any feelings for her? Why would a normal person behave so politely, unless she's the kind of girl you fall in love with at first sight, and you feel like you're being too impolite … why is your face so red? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Yongshan mocked Takahashi Kaede.
"It's rude of you to say that in front of a guest," Takahashi Kaede's face began to darken.
Realizing that Takahashi Kaede was about to get angry, Yongshan finally stopped fooling around. At this time, a man with his hands in his pockets walked in. His cool and handsome long hair covered his forehead, and his somewhat dispirited eyes showed no interest in anyone around him. He was tall and straight, and wore a clean and standard western school uniform. He did indeed attract the attention of the girls.
It could be seen that this was a handsome man, but he was very cold to everyone, including the gazes of the girls.
"Why did you call me here?" Mochizuki Seven Fields sat down and asked impatiently.
He glanced at Ling Ling and found that she was an unfamiliar girl, but he didn't say anything.
"It's just that I haven't seen you in a few days, so I don't know what you're doing. I'll introduce you. This is Officer Ozawa's guest from China," Takahashi Kaede said.
"Oh, I'm having fun," Mochizuki Seven Fields said calmly.
"Seven Fields, have you been chemically castrated? Such a cute Chinese girl, yet you don't look happy at all. If that's the case, why did you do such an outrageous thing that day?" The afro Yong Shan said in surprise.
Seven Fields immediately glared at Yongshan.
Yongshan was obviously a blabbermouth. He could say anything he wanted.
Ling Ling glanced at Mochizuki Seven Fields. She could tell that the man was not the type who was looking for girls. He had high standards when it came to choosing a partner. If he was the one who was sleepwalking in the Mochizuki Clan, why would he do something that would ruin a girl's reputation? Was it necessary?
"I'm not hungry, I'll be going if there's nothing else," Mochizuki Seven Fields had no intention of staying any longer.
"Seven Fields, wait a second, we're just concerned about your situation," Takahashi Kaede said.
"Hehe, you're concerned about me? You must be laughing under your blanket. I wish you the best in the World College Tournament, while I'll rot in some dark corner, "Mochizuki Seven Fields harrumphed coldly.
Takahashi Kaede's expression shifted when he heard the words.
