Chapter 47
"So, where do we start, Captain Qin? Should we use that thing to decide?"
"certainly."
Obviously, no one guessed what Qin Ye wanted to take. Weng Ya even asked distrustfully, "What do you want to use?"
Qin Ye took out a round instrument from his bag. The instrument had a transparent dial and a blue-green pointer under the dial. It looked like an ordinary compass.
Although Qin Ye and Lingling are ordinary people without extraordinary abilities, they have some extraordinary instruments.
"This is a locating pointer, with the added extraordinary ability of divination." Qin Ye explained, "But it also has limitations. If the object you need to find is within three kilometers, it will fail."
"That's quite a wide range," Ango commented.
"Isn't it? But I bet it will start spinning around soon." Weng Ya said unhappily.
"Who is the owner?"
"It's me." Qiu Yuan took a step forward.
Qin Ye leaned over to Qiu Yuan's ear and told her how to find it. Qiu Yuan picked up the finding pointer and began to mutter to herself.
Soon, the blue-green pointer began to spin wildly, but could not indicate the direction.
"What does this mean?" asked Jas.
"It means the lost item is within three kilometers." Ango said.
"Now I have evidence." Weng Ya looked at Ango with some pride, "The school is within this area."
"It's three kilometers away," Jas complained. "What kind of evidence is that?"
Ignoring Weng Ya's smugness, An Ge asked Qin Ye, "Since you have this thing, why haven't you found the secret ring yet?"
"Because some people carry such things with them and change their locations every day, even if the range is temporarily locked, it will be lost after a while." Qin Ye said.
"You can start the search from the teaching building, then move on to other places. If you can't find them, wait until the game is over before searching them again." Weng Ya instructed Qin Ye and Jin Hui in a serious tone, "There are real-time surveillance cameras during the game, so they won't be able to hide."
"Yes, yes, I know." Jin Hui said helplessly, "Captain Qin, let's start from the top floor of the teaching building, work our way down, and then go to the playground."
There were still many shelter tents set up on the playground, so a search was now inevitable.
The top floor of the teaching building was naturally Principal Meng's office. He very straightforwardly let a group of people go in to search.
This office was plain and simple, with only a few bookshelves, a sofa, and a set of desks and chairs. There were also some sundries piled up in the corner next to the bookcase, including the fishing rod that Jas had used last time.
"Sorry to bother you." Jin Hui bowed slightly apologetically, then opened several drawers and cabinets.
There were some documents neatly placed in the drawer, and there was nothing unusual.
"Principal Meng's place is so clean, how come there are these debris?" Qiu Yuan noticed the thing in the corner and examined it with disgust, pinching the fishing rod between her fingers, as if she had touched something disgusting.
"Teacher Jas and I both like fishing. We'll go fishing by the river after get off work."
Qiu Yuan wiped her hands and said to Jin Hui, "There's nothing here, let's continue."
As the group went downstairs, every classroom was turned upside down, but unfortunately the lost items were never found.
Jin Hui and Qiu Yuan's expressions remained unchanged. Ango had no way of reading their thoughts and just frowned coldly as he watched them rummage through the paper.
Everyone's belongings were thrown to the ground without their presence - this kind of behavior that broke the sense of boundaries was something Ango hated very much, but she had no way to intervene and could only endure it... More importantly, these people were gradually approaching the health room.
As if she had noticed something, Qiu Yuan turned around and fixed her gaze on An Ge: "Teacher An, I heard that you have a very good relationship with your students... and even live in their homes."
"Teacher An is a distant relative of Ace and Irene." This time Qin also answered for Ango.
Last time, Ango was brought back to the Security Bureau by Qin Ye, and he was very clear about the relationship between the two.
"That's perfectly normal," Jin Hui said cautiously, "Student Qiu Yuan, this is a teacher's private matter after all. We shouldn't pry too much into it. Besides, just because she has a good relationship with the student doesn't mean she has anything to do with the missing item..."
Qiu Yuan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Oh? You're the only one who knows."
"What does this mean?" Jas frowned and complained to Ango, "This girl is too willful."
Ango glanced at Qiu Yuan. She vaguely sensed something strange—from day one, everyone had noticed that Jin Hui's relationship with Qiu Yuan and Weng Ya wasn't very good. And because Jin Hui seemed more friendly toward Sun Town, the people there had a relatively higher opinion of him. However… from Ango's perspective, Jin Hui also seemed a little odd…
Maybe she could do something by taking advantage of the conflict between the two parties, Ango thought.
But where to start? She observed everything, but her brain seemed to be stuck and she couldn't find the key.
About thirty minutes passed like this, and the group arrived at the door of the classroom on the second floor. However, Ango turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
"Where is Teacher An going?" This was Qiu Yuan, and she seemed to be staring at An Ge.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
In the small cubicle, Ango leaned against the bathroom door and sighed silently.
Time passed by minute by minute, but Ango still hadn't come up with a solution.
If she had extraordinary spatial abilities, she could hide all those things now, or move Xisen to another place, but unfortunately she didn't have one; if she also had a hypnosis transformation system, she could try to hypnotize everyone present and make them turn a blind eye to what they saw, but unfortunately she used the last one on Irene.
Ultimately, it was because she wasn't strong enough. If her ability pool was sufficient, she wouldn't be in this embarrassing situation. Thinking of this, Ango couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
At this moment, escape has become an issue that must be put on the table.
Boom, boom—her heartbeat was like a stopwatch counting down. Listening to her own heartbeat, Ango became more and more uneasy, and she began to look out the window.
If she escaped from the school now, changed her appearance, and blended into the crowd, they would probably not be able to find her for a while.
Ango took a deep breath and was about to open the window when Xisen appeared beside her like a ghost, and the compartment suddenly became more crowded.
"Preparing to escape?"
Ango didn't intend to respond to such an obvious answer, and sarcastically said, "Mr. Shadow appearing in the women's restroom makes perfect sense."
"You should have asked me for help sooner, Miss Man Yue." Xi Sen shrugged. "If you run away now, I'm afraid the group will not only guess your identity, but they'll also suspect me. We just sent an informant, and someone escapes here. It's suspicious no matter how you look at it, and I'll be in trouble too."
Ango sneered: "Isn't that what you deserve?"
"Your mouth is really poisonous..."
"If I ask you for help, do you have a better solution?" Ango looked at him provocatively. "I'd like to hear your opinion."
"Of course, I have a good solution to this problem... If we can identify the group's informant, we'll kill him directly." Xi Sen smiled wickedly, "If we can't find him, we'll kill them all."
"Who? Who were they killed?" Ango's heart shuddered and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Everyone who might be an informant...Jin Hui, Qiu Yuan, Weng Ya..." Xi Sen licked his lips. "Of course, if others notice us during this process...we'll have to kill everyone in the school...we don't have much time."
...Mad man, Ango cursed in his heart.
"But this will still attract the attention of the group." Ango pointed out.
"It's better than you running away and confirming your identity." Xi Sen was as calm as a robot. "I have a way to disguise this as a brawl. Hmm... I can put the blame on the pagans and let Ango die here."
Ango blurted out, "You mean... the entire school's espers are out of control and killing each other?"
Xi Sen smiled, but his eyes were full of seriousness: "Maybe Qiqi would prefer to see this kind of chaos."
Xisen could easily say such a horrific thing, and Ango also believed that he could do it.
"In short, I can't let you escape with such a big loophole behind you." Xi Sen's face changed and his tone was cold. "Ms. Manyue, you better think clearly. Who is that damn informant?"
"I don't know who it is yet..."
"Then it seems that these people's lives are doomed."
"Xisen!" Ango suddenly shouted, "You can't do this!"
"What are you talking about, Sangria?" Xisen retorted, "You're at the end of your rope!"
Ango's lips trembled with anger. She lowered her voice and said angrily, "Is this the Virgin Mary?"
"Isn't it?" Xi Sen sneered. "I've been wanting to say this for a long time. What on earth are you so saintly about? What do other people have to do with you? Why do you care what they do? You weren't as indecisive as you are now!"
"What's my business?" Ango argued. "I don't want to be like that anymore!"
"Why? That decisive Sangria was much stronger than you are now!"
"I thought after what happened with Garfield, you'd understand! You'd be like me!" Ango said excitedly, "Have you forgotten what we saw together at Ghost Commander's? I've been trying to talk to you ever since, but you've changed! You've become just like Ghost Commander! I have no one to talk to anymore!"
"Forgot what?" Xi Sen was about to ask back, but suddenly his expression became strange: "Wait... what did you see? You also went to Little Garfield? We were at Ghost Commander's place together? What are you talking about?"
"Of course." Ango's voice gradually rose, and she began to tremble uncontrollably. "I always thought that you were the only person I could trust and talk to!"
There was another silence.
The atmosphere was tense, and the confusion and shock in Xisen's expression did not seem fake.
Ango licked her lips. She was very upset and nervous at the moment. In fact, she shouldn't waste time arguing with Xisen. She should find a way to solve the problem, either escape or find an informant. What they were discussing at the moment was meaningless.
"I understand. If you're not lying, then someone has tampered with my memory." Xi Sen's face was gloomy. "But who could tamper with my memory?"
Ango didn't answer his question, but said sarcastically, "Anyway, if I don't be the saint you're talking about, something terrible will happen."
"…We saw a prophecy?"
Ango was in a state of great headache: "Just think of it as a prophecy!"
"Anyway, whether you remember it or not is no longer important. Please don't act rashly," Ango said. "I'll find a way to handle it next."
Before Xi Sen could speak, a voice came from outside the door.
"Teacher An, are you okay? Let's go to the health room on the first floor!" This is Jin Hui.
He said he would find a way to deal with it, but now he couldn't even escape, so Ango could only bite the bullet and reply, "I'm fine."
The door closed, and Xisen turned into a shadow and walked out with Ango.
"If Doctor An doesn't come out, I'll think you've run away." Qiu Yuan said.
Ango was upset, but he didn't show it on his face. He just followed the crowd with an expressionless face.
Jin Hui opened the door of the health room in front and led the way into the health room.
Ango saw him first open the drawer of the desk, then rummage through the top of the cabinet, and even stirred the soil in the flowerpot twice. Finally, he walked into the screen and found a tall blue cabinet in the middle of the room.
His hand reached for the locked cabinet below, but he didn't open it.
"Oh, right." Jin Hui slapped his head, "There is another key here."
Ango felt as if time had stopped. What should she do? How could she explain the contents of the cabinet? Who was the group's informant? If they couldn't find him, would Xi Sen kill everyone present? But if they let him go, she and Xi Sen would be exposed.
Her scalp was already numb as she saw Jin Hui was about to insert the key into the keyhole in the next second.
Suddenly, a vibration sound came, and Jin Hui had to put down his keys and turn on his computer. The video call interface popped up, and then Weng Ya's serious face appeared in front of him: "The thief has been found."
"What?" Jin Hui looked extremely surprised.
"Who is it?" Principal Meng asked hurriedly.
"It's this student." Weng Ya showed the screenshot in front of everyone.
An Ge looked closely - it was Tang Yu!
