Chapter 79 I said, she was killed in the explosion
"What did you say?"
Xie Huan frowned, and the grumpiness of being woken up late at night made him look even more serious. In the meeting room, Elton spoke in an intense tone.
"Someone broke into the underground display room, destroyed the treasured weapons, and killed a student while escaping!"
"But, I remember that the biometric lock of the showroom can only be opened by your iris."
Someone said something, and Elton's face darkened.
"What do you mean? Are you questioning me? Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. The most important thing is to quickly find the person behind this."
Elton waved his hand and sat down on the leather chair.
"Regarding that unfortunate student, have the student union find out who her parents are and negotiate compensation to prevent anyone from causing trouble."
Xie Huan's heart started beating for no reason. It couldn't be hers. She had asked for leave. It was her birthday right after midnight. Maybe she was spending a wonderful night with her friends or... her lover.
His fingertips moved quickly as he sent messages to Qi Hanxing and Si Jue, and asked Shen Jiaxu to check the records of students entering and leaving the school.
Suddenly, he remembered what Fu Shuran said and contacted Fu Sui again.
[Is Lilith with you? The school needs to count students staying out overnight.]
Finally, he clicked on the newly added contact information for Lilith. The previous account had been cancelled by Lady Katrin. Under the default avatar, in the message column nicknamed [Replica], lay his response to the leave request.
【OK】
It was so late, maybe he shouldn't disturb her. This was beyond what a normal teacher-student relationship should do.
【Happy birthday】
Delete,
【Where are you】
Delete,
Finally, Xie Huan wrote down a sentence solemnly,
【Twenty years old now. As a teacher, I want to congratulate you on entering a new chapter in your life.】
After clicking send, Si Jue and Qi Hanxing replied at the same time. Both of them said that they had not seen Lilith. She seemed to be in a bad mood during class today.
Fu Sui hadn't replied to the message. Logically, he usually stayed up until three in the morning to handle work, so he shouldn't fall asleep that early.
Xie Huan felt a little uneasy. The next second, Shen Jiaxu's message popped up.
[There's no record of Lilith leaving school. Is she still taking extra classes with you? Professor Xie, isn't this detention too long?]
At the same time, a blurry video was played on the screen of the conference room. It looked like it was shot by the security department with a portable camera.
The image only showed the back of a blonde girl, wearing a dark red uniform, walking in an empty corridor. Judging from her direction, she was probably heading to the teachers' office building.
'Get out of the way!'
The guards shouted, and the girl seemed to want to turn around, revealing her blue eyes and delicate profile. The next second, a bomb was thrown from a distance.
"Boom!"
Smoke and dust rose up, and the camera lens was stained with bright red blood. The perpetrator disappeared without a trace. When the vision cleared, only fragments of uniforms and a special nameplate were seen on the ground.
The girl's name was engraved on it in cursive script.
【Lilith】
Elton breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's Lilith. Fortunately, she is not Lady Katrin's daughter, otherwise it would be quite troublesome."
He muttered a few words, and his mood improved significantly.
"I remember she became a poor student and had no family. Just delete her from her student record and pretend she never existed. Okay, let's go find the guy who barged in and caused such a scene."
The rest of the people accepted the order and left, complaining as they left. Only Xie Huan stood there motionless.
"Professor Xie, it's time to go. This is really troublesome. Why don't you just leave this matter to the security department? Why do you have to wake us up?"
"Thank you, Professor?"
"You go first, I have something else to do."
Xie Huan raised his head, his eyes were extremely cold, like a deserted wasteland with layers of grass waves stirred up by a hurricane.
For some reason, the teacher who asked the question suddenly felt cold. He laughed, nodded, and left quickly.
…
"I feel like something's wrong. Why would the teacher suddenly ask if Lady Lilith is here? It's so late."
Si Jue stood at the door, as if he was about to open it and go out. Qi Hanxing rarely did push-ups on the ground, and the sound coming from the ground seemed a little muffled.
"What's so strange about that? My agent always asks me where I am at night, but I ignore him. These adults are just too strict."
"but……"
"Don't worry, I'll just go find her tomorrow. Hey, I've already prepared a birthday present for her—it's me! She'll definitely like it."
"Don't make Lady Lilith angry again..."
In the darkness, Si Jue comforted himself, what could happen, the central star was safe, Lilith was a military academy student, even if there were some short-sighted guys, they would retreat when they saw the sign of the First Military Academy.
The next day, when entering the gate, all the students could clearly feel the tense atmosphere. There were more patrolling sentries, and even a guard was added at the back door.
"Wow, why are there suddenly so many guards?"
"Is it because of the Far Marching Army? They have a special status and should be well protected."
"But doesn't the Far March Army start recruiting students in three weeks?"
"I heard that because a strong pollution source appeared in the polluted area, many people died, and there was a shortage of manpower, the Far Marching Army started recruiting students in advance. I'm afraid the process will be quite expedited this time."
Alice hurried into the school gate, nodding and responding to the students who greeted her on the way. She had black hair and black eyes, and a gentle smile on her face for everyone. She had long been the new goddess of the First Military Academy.
Occasionally, military cadets who received responses couldn't help but share their excitement with their classmates.
"Did you see that? Alice responded to me. She smiled at me. As expected, she's the daughter of a duke. Her interests are impeccable and she's much more approachable than the previous one."
"Come to think of it, that guy hasn't been active for a while. I don't know if he was scolded by Professor Xie Huan. He's been attending classes obediently these past few days and hasn't caused any trouble."
"I think she might be up to some bad idea again. Who knows?"
Alice went to the classroom according to the schedule she had inquired about, but she didn't see Lilith inside. She passed by two annoying sentries and stopped at the door of the student union.
The all-knowing student union knew every student's whereabouts. Just as the three of them were about to speak, Shen Jiaxu looked up.
"Last night, a student was killed by a thug who broke in. Lilith has no record of him leaving the school last night or entering the school this morning."
Putting the two seemingly unrelated sentences together, Si Jue felt that his brain was about to overload. He heard Qi Hanxing's somewhat distorted roar,
"Shen Jiaxu, what do you mean?"
The student council president's face looked particularly ugly. Upon closer inspection, one could see bloodshot under his eyes.
"I said, she was killed in the explosion."
