Chapter 175: Fortunately, Lanqi is not a killer hired by the Resurrection Church

Ikrit Academy was still in a hazy silence.

The dawn has just begun to illuminate this quiet world from the horizon, and the blue-gray sky in the distance and the light pink on the ground gradually blend like paint dropped into water.

At six o'clock in the morning on this Tuesday, after Ranch, Hyperion, and Frey returned to school and had breakfast together, the three of them walked along the spacious road of the college to the dormitory building of the Sage Academy.

The lights in the lobby on the first floor were dim and warm. The dormitory manager was leaning on a soft cushion behind the workbench in the lobby, holding a book in his hands, trying to relieve his morning sleepiness.

At this time, most students were still fast asleep, with only a few early risers quietly walking out of their dormitories.

"Then let's take a short break and go to the Student Union together in the afternoon."

Lanci said as he looked at Hyperion at the fork in the road.

"good."

Hyperion nodded and said goodbye to Lanci and Frey.

Then Lanqi took Frey to his dormitory.

On the carpet in the corridor on the first floor of the dormitory, Lanqi and Frey were walking leisurely.

The two people's low laughter echoed in the empty corridor. The dormitory doors on both sides were tightly closed, as quiet as breathing creatures. Behind each door was a small world, hiding countless stories and beautiful dreams.

The boys' dormitory is in the front building, and the girls' dormitory is in the back building, not far from each other.

Lanqi had already lent the Great Love Poet to Hyperion. When Hyperion arrived at the dormitory, she could call the Great Love Poet and the Great Love Poet would come out by himself.

The Great Love Poet knows magic cards too well. As long as Lanqi removes the summoning restriction he imposes on the Great Love Poet, the Great Love Poet can even summon himself and remove his own summoning status, which is something that ordinary summoned creatures cannot do.

And Frey will follow Lanqi this morning and temporarily go to Lanqi's dormitory, one will keep watch and the other will sleep, and they will each rest for three hours.

The student union was closed early in the morning and they had nothing else to do.

Although this [Temple Villain Dinner] was not a 12-hour shadow world like [Purgatory Corridor Academy], and lasted for a total of 5 days, they woke up very early today as it was the last morning.

Besides, I had been traveling for several days and I was really tired when I came back. I just wanted to have a good sleep.

They stopped in front of a door, Lanqi took out the key, inserted it into the door lock, turned it lightly, opened the door and led Frey into his dormitory.

The lighting in the dormitory living room is warmer than in the corridor. The soft sofa and the simple coffee table are quietly arranged together, with a few books and a set of glass tableware placed on them.

"The traitor this time is not easy to catch."

Frey said as he sat on the sofa with his arms folded, frowning.

His hunter instinct kept him on the lookout.

The three of them seemed to be completely unguarded along the way, and Frey did not catch any sign of being followed or even being watched.

In order to let Hyperion, the bait, rest in peace, the two catchers did not put any pressure on her.

Many things can only be discussed when the two of them are alone.

"It seems that the other party will only attack Hyperion when they are absolutely sure. If we lure them out or investigate, it will arouse their vigilance."

Lanqi poured two glasses of lemon and honey water, handed one to Frey, then sat on the sofa next to him and said.

If they take the initiative, for example, by carrying out compulsory anti-cult education on the academic visiting team from the Kingdom of Alolan, such behavior is obviously too purposeful, as if they had already known that there were Resurrectionists in the team. The Resurrection Church will definitely realize that it was the elite cultist Sticera who was captured in the Shadow World who leaked the information, causing Sticera to suffer crazy revenge from the Resurrection Church even in prison.

Stysela risked her life to give the information to Ranchi, so Ranchi would naturally do his best to protect her.

"So you still want to go fishing with Hyperion?"

Frey took a sip of lemon honey water. The refreshing cool feeling moistened his throat, which was very much to his liking.

Adding a little honey to lemon water will not make people feel sour, and the lemon can just buffer the sweetness of the original honey, just like a perfect partner.

"The safest way is to conduct a sting operation, because we have too few intelligence details this time. Do you want to—"

Lanqi put down the mug in his hand and counted on his fingers to give Frey examples one by one.

"For example, the killer this time has already completed self-hypnosis in advance. He was a perfect normal student before he activated himself with specific means. Then no matter how proactive we are in the real world, we will not be able to catch the killer. We will only alert the enemy."

This is the difference between the real world and the shadow world. If you are deeply self-hypnotized when entering the shadow world, you may not be able to break free when facing danger, which will lead to huge risks. In the real world, the killer has already disguised himself as a normal person and came to the safe Hutton Kingdom. Even if he does not break free from self-hypnosis, there will be no threat of death.

"Or, if the enemy has some very troublesome unknown magic, we can design some incredible traps."

"Let's take the simplest example. If the enemy is proficient in disguise or camouflage, such as [Blood Disguise] or other mimicry magic."

"First, the killer can find a way to get information about the first-year girl in the dormitory next to Hyperion from the traitor in Ikerite College, and then attack the innocent girl first, lure her away and lock her up. Next, he can disguise himself as the victim and live next door to Hyperion. Then his real body will disappear for no reason, creating the sign that someone in the academic visiting team has disappeared out of thin air, attracting the school's attention to investigate the missing students of the Kingdom of Alolan. Then the actual killer is already in a place very close to Hyperion and where she can be defenseless, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

"Or we can wait until a time when Hyperion can no longer have an alibi, disguise ourselves as Hyperion, and then commit a murder using Hyperion's identity, frame Hyperion, and make her a suspect for investigation by the police. This way we can isolate her from the school and us. While she is in jail awaiting trial and needs to avoid suspicion, it will be easy for us to kill her with some covert operations and sinister means."

"besides……"

“That’s enough.”

Frey quickly raised his hand and stopped Lanqi.

"I'm now sure of at least one good thing."

Frey said seriously.

"What?"

Lanqi asked doubtfully.

He had no idea what blind spot Frey had discovered at this moment.

"Luckily it wasn't you who came to kill Hyperion."

Frey said, looking at Lanci.

“…”

Lanqi was stunned and silent for a moment, "How could I kill Hyperion!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He was seriously considering various situations, but Frey was still playing tricks on him.

"If the Resurrection Church hired you to kill Hyperion, Hyperion's ten lives would not be enough."

Frey leaned back on the sofa and laughed, thinking that Lanqi's behavior was very funny.

But Frey soon recovered.

This time, not only do we have to protect Hyperion and capture the cultists, but we also have to create the illusion that "they were caught by luck". This is where the difficulty lies.

Although it is safe for the Great Poet and Hyperion to stay together for a short period of time, if there is any situation over there, Frey and Lanqi can rush over immediately.

But the problem is that if the two of them get too close to Hyperion, they might scare away the big fish.

They just came back from the Shadow World today. Lanci and Frey both live in the Sage Academy dormitory, which is close and reasonable.

If the two of them lived in the Sage's Court every day, the killer who originally planned to commit the crime would most likely give up his plan.

But if we get too far away from Hyperion, Hyperion's situation will become dangerous.

They would rather not catch the big fish than let Hyperion be put in danger as bait.

The two are now deciding where is the best place for them to hide and fish.

"It seems I have to find a way to disappear."

Frey suggested.

As long as he disappears from the map, everything will be fine.

"There is actually a solution..."

Lanqi murmured, "I'll give it a try. It would be perfect if I can make it happen."

But Lanqi's tone clearly lacked confidence.

If Hyperion could live with Talia, he and Frey could just stay away from Hyperion.

Then we can just wait for the killer to do something untoward.

Unfortunately, Talia is no longer short of money.

It's difficult to impress Talia with money alone.

Lanqi didn't have anything good to trade with her for the time being.

The main reason is that Talia is very averse to getting along with others and will never allow any stranger to stay in her personal space.

Letting Hyperion live in Talia's house almost violated Talia's absolute bottom line.

"I hope she's in a better mood today."

Lanqi leaned against the sofa, raised his head and murmured.

In any case, after dealing with the student union affairs this afternoon, he decided to take Hyperion to the Cat Boss Restaurant to meet Talia.

Although based on Lanci's understanding of Talia, there is a 90% chance that Talia will coldly reject him, causing Talia to hate Hyperion and herself at the same time.

But sometimes Talia would inexplicably have a gentle side, and her temper was like the weather. He couldn't guess what tomorrow would be like.
