Previously, Lin Yue had been telling Uncle Bin that there were still some oddities in the case of the high-level sacrifice, and Uncle Bin believed his suspicions, so he stayed.
This may be related to the suspicions that Lin Yue had been holding onto.
So, what did Lin Yue see or think of here that made him suddenly change his mind and go on the mission alone?
Has anything unusual happened in Class C? Things have been very calm lately, and there haven't been any unusual occurrences related to the high-level sacrifice.
If we must point out something unusual, it is something that is separate from demonic events.
No, that's not right. Uncle Bin remembered; Huang Yi hadn't been to class for over a month. The first day he was absent, Uncle Bin contacted his parents, but to no avail. The school even contacted the police, but that also came to nothing.
He recalled that Huang Yi could use magic, and had even displayed it during his duel with Lin Yue, producing a magical artifact. He hadn't made a pact with a demon, so how could he possess magic?
"Huang Yi is Nephilim... he is the son of the Holy Demon... we have all overlooked this point!"
Sister Sang didn't know how he deduced it, but she figured it couldn't be wrong.
"What...is this related to Lin Yue's disappearance? Could it be that Huang Yi has challenged Lin Yue to another duel?"
"No, no, that's impossible. Think about it, if Huang Yi is Nephilim, then he could also be one of the sacrifices in the higher sacrifices!"
"But hasn't the criminal already been arrested?"
"But this does not mean that only one prisoner wanted to resurrect Naidinger."
"But since then, there have been no more cases of victims being skinned alive or other more gruesome murders."
“That’s true. But we haven’t found any of the previous offerings.” Uncle Bin answered Sister Sang’s questions one by one.
"No, no, that's not what we need to think about now. We need to find Lin Yue. Once he understands this, he'll very likely go back to the designated place where the high-level sacrifice was performed to look for clues!"
The library rooftop had long been sealed off by the school, and no one had been there since the murder.
Uncle Bin walked up the stairs leading to the top of the school.
As she reached the last few steps, Sister Sang, with her keen sense of smell, was able to smell a strong odor of blood through the closed metal door.
"There's blood!" The disgusting smell of blood made her feel extremely uneasy.
"Yes." Uncle Bin appeared calm on the surface, but his inner anxiety was like boiling steam trapped under a kettle lid.
Smelling blood while searching for companions is a very unlucky and disturbing thing.
There was a dripping sound on the stairs, like a funnel calculating death. There was blood on the stairs. "To be precise, blood seeped through the cracks in the door and into the stairwell."
Sang Jie couldn't help but shiver, not from the cold. She quickly followed Uncle Bin, and accidentally stepped on something soft, which startled her, causing her to let go of it.
Uncle Bin noticed Sister Sang's movement, turned around, and picked up the object. It was Lin Yue's newsboy cap, soaked in blood. Sister Sang covered her mouth, leaned against the wall, and dared not move forward any further.
"It's just a hat."
Uncle Bin used Sister Sang's alchemical potion to melt the door, and the endless night sky and the desolate white moon appeared before his eyes.
All I could hear was the mournful howling of the wind, a sound unique to the cold night.
There was a newly drawn summoning magic circle on the ground, which had just been used.
What's even more chilling is the blood that was only half-dried when it was spilled on top, as if it had been poured out of a bucket.
What's most chilling are the broken pieces of a knife scattered in different corners.
Uncle Bin looked up at the night sky, but there was no answer. Lin Yue's trail ended there.
No one wants to announce any superficial conclusions drawn here.
However, an even bigger problem has emerged.
"It seems we still have a more powerful enemy to defeat. Let's go back and reconsider."
Sister Sang silently took out a large, transparent, sealed bag, which she had modified to store all alchemical materials without them spoiling.
She picked up the three pieces of the "Blue Cherry Blossom" from around her, along with other fragments she could find at the scene, and put the hat she had found earlier into the bag.
Uncle Bin lit a cigarette. Smoking is prohibited on campus.
But at this moment... what else can soothe my mood besides this method? "Call Shanshan back."
3. On Monday, the first rain of December fell. The sky was overcast, making it hard to tell whether it was morning or afternoon.
"The fire at the Eastern District Park has been burning for three days with no sign of stopping, and police are investigating the cause of the incident..."
"According to eyewitnesses, a large hole with a diameter of 20 meters has been found on Red Mountain in the western district. The cause of the hole is still under investigation..."
"A massive locust plague, the worst in a century, has struck agricultural areas in western China, resulting in an unprecedented crop failure this year... Experts say they will do their best to stabilize food prices..."
After reading the news, Sister Sang went back to her room out of curiosity, turned on her computer, and used a VPN to search online.
The second news item also revealed other details—about dozens of people committed mass suicide in the large hole.
Uncle Bin checked the regular price list on his phone and found that medium-grade rice had risen to 20 yuan per kilogram.
None of these are good omens. A massive disaster is creeping in at a perceptible pace.
It is 5:45 PM. Lan Xi arrived as usual to learn alchemy from Teacher Sang.
After entering the room, she put away her umbrella, patted the raindrops off her coat, changed into slippers, and walked into the living room.
"Lin Yue didn't come today, but he would never miss an English class. So Rose is in a bad mood because she's missing a student who can actively respond to her lectures."
