Lingling was not surprised at all. Moonless Night was about to arrive. If this place was still quiet and peaceful, it would be the strangest thing.
"Someone purposely let Hei Chuanjing go, just so the people of the Shuangshou Pavilion won't be able to enter or contact the outside world," said Ling Ling.
"Could it be that someone is going to carry out some terrifying grand plan?" Officer Ozawa asked in surprise.
"What will the Master of the East Guardian Tower do if a prisoner tries to escape?" asked Ling Ling.
"Sealing it off, of course. The truth is, the Shuangshou Pavilion has two forbidding formations. The first one is to seal off the East Guardian Tower. No one is allowed to enter, and the prisoners are unable to escape. The second forbidding formation is a safety measure. If a prisoner tries to escape from the East Guardian Tower, the forbidding formation of the West Guard Pavilion will be activated too, sealing off the entire Shuangshou Pavilion to prevent the prisoners from escaping into society, "said Ozawa.
The mechanism of the Shuangshou Pavilion was actually very simple.
In the past, the East Guardian Tower and the West Guard Pavilion were both prisons. The prisoners were locked up on a cliff like the East Guardian Tower. The only way out was the drawbridge.
Therefore, if a prisoner managed to escape from the East Guardian Tower, they would have to cross the drawbridge and enter the West Guard Pavilion. Sealing off the West Guard Pavilion would prevent the prisoners from escaping.
The West Guard Pavilion was a safety measure in the past.
However, as time went by, the security of the East Guardian Tower had rendered the safety measure of the West Guard Pavilion meaningless. First, the West Guard Pavilion was turned into a military fortress by the army. Then, other facilities were opened to the public, turning the West Guard Pavilion into a place where the academy, the military, and tourists were combined.
If Hei Chuanjing hadn't escaped this time, many people who lived in the West Guard Pavilion for a long time wouldn't have known that there was a second restriction here.
"The Pavilion Master is very sure that Hei Chuanjing hasn't left the West Guard Pavilion. Every prisoner has a prisoner's mark after they're imprisoned here. This mark is connected to the restriction of the Shuangshou Pavilion. Once he tries to leave the Shuangshou Pavilion, the second restriction will be automatically triggered. Kurochuan Kagura obviously knows this, so he didn't dare to provoke the second restriction. "Ozawa said.
"The murderous demon escaped into the West Guard Pavilion and blended into the West Guard Pavilion's social circle. People continued to die mysteriously for reasons that could not be explained. The evil organization has risen from the ashes. Everyone is suspicious of the people around them … The Shuangshou Pavilion is completely sealed off from the outside world. It's the perfect environment for fear, "Ling Ling said.
"Master Ling Ling, you were the one who discovered Hei Chuanjing's escape. So many days have passed. Do you have any leads? If you can find him, we won't be so nervous anymore," Ozawa said.
"Let's take care of it one by one," Ling Ling said.
"Huh? You already know where Hei Chuanjing is hiding? "Ozawa said in surprise.
"Mmm, you can say that."
…
Ozawa quickly gathered the higher-ups of the Shuangshou Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master, Mochizuki No Ken, Nobuko Fujikata, and General Tomoichi were the four leaders of the Shuangshou Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master was in charge of the defense of the East Guard Pavilion. All the guards were under his command, and all the prisoners were under his control.
Mochizuki No Ken was the leader of the Wangyue Clan. The clan was the one that built the Shuangshou Pavilion. They were the earliest residents of the Shuangshou Pavilion. The members of the clan were spread across the Shuangshou Pavilion.
Nobuko Fujikata was in charge of the Training Hall and the Institute. She was in charge of all the instructors and students.
General Tomoichi was the leader of the military. He was mainly responsible for dealing with sea monsters and other threats to the city, including the prisoners that might have escaped from the East Guard Pavilion.
Among the four leaders, Ozawa did not expect to see them all here. He had no idea why he was given such great authority as the General Manager of the West Guard Pavilion.
When he arrived at the hall, Officer Ozawa realized that there was an emergency meeting being held here. The four heads were all asked to appear by a mysterious person, including some people from various fields.
"Ozawa, I remember you telling me that you've hired a Seven Star Hunter Master to deal with the strange incidents in the Shuangshou Pavilion. May I ask where the Seven Star Hunter Master is?" asked Pavilion Master Chong Jin.
"Miss Ling Ling is a Seven Star Hunter Master. She has made some important discoveries that she needs to report to the leaders," said Ozawa.
There were many people present, and everyone's eyes fell on Ling Ling.
As a matter of fact, it was difficult to understand that a young girl was a Seven Star Hunter Master, but no one doubted it.
"Alright, can you tell us what's going on in the Shuangshou Pavilion? By the way, can you tell me how you found Hei Chuanjing's name on the list? Why did you go there?" Pavilion Master Chong Jin asked, as if he was in charge of the situation.
Ling Ling found a seat and sat down. She had to explain everything one by one.
"First, let's talk about what happened to the Wangyue Clan recently. According to my investigation …"
"I'm not too concerned about it, but I do hope you can tell us more about Hei Chuanjing. It's what we need to know now," Pavilion Master Chong Jin interrupted Ling Ling.
Ling Ling glanced at Pavilion Master Chong Jin, but she continued as if she did not hear him, "According to my investigation, the Wangyue Clan's scandal was premeditated. Ming Song had a daughter who was studying at the school. She was in love with Gao Qiaofeng. She knew Gao Qiaofeng wanted to join the national team, so she used the Psychic Element to force Wangyue Qi Ye to sleepwalk. She did something outrageous and forced Wangyue Qi Ye to lose his spot on the national team. "
Wangyue Qi Ye was present too. He shuddered when he heard Ling Ling's words. He stared at Gao Qiaofeng in astonishment.
For a moment, no one spoke in the conference hall.
"Well … we've already investigated the matter, just like Miss Ling Ling said," Mochizuki No Ken said.
"Even though the Wangyue Clan didn't pursue the matter, Ming Song's daughter still blamed herself. She chose to end her life the day after Gao Qiaofeng rejected her confession," Ling Ling said.
"That Gao Qiaofeng was sleepwalking too, and almost lost his life. Junior Sister was already dead by then. It's not like Gao Qiaofeng was being controlled by Junior Sister's soul, "Yong Shan blurted out.
"You can ask Gao Qiaofeng about that. He already has the answer in his heart," Ling Ling looked at Gao Qiaofeng.
Gao Qiaofeng suddenly panicked. He was obviously under pressure when everyone was looking at him.
After a slight hesitation, Gao Qiaofeng lowered his head and said, "Miss Ling Ling is very smart. It's true that I pretended to sleepwalk. Qi Ye lost his spot on the national team because of me. Junior Sister told me the truth when she confessed to me. I wanted to return the spot to Qi Ye, so I went to trigger the magic formation and injured myself. "
