Chapter 228 If He Can Wake Up
The scene was a mess.
Except for Molly who was sobbing, no one else said anything.
The Dean of Academic Affairs looked very bad, and his eyes kept wandering between Karen and Hevinia, and finally fell on Karen first.
"Explain yourself," the Dean said. "Karen, what are you doing?"
"Hmm?" Karen tilted his head and said with a smile, "Do you even need to ask? You all have seen it, do you want me to show you again? It's not impossible, it just depends on whether that guy is willing to cooperate."
The Dean looked at Karen coldly: "If you think I'm joking with you, then you can continue to talk nonsense. What happened tonight, the Chuke family can't protect you."
"...Okay, okay." Karen shrugged. "Just tell me who died. Was it my unlucky brother?"
Todd, who was standing behind the Provost, shouted angrily, "Karen!"
The Dean raised his hand to interrupt Todd, and then continued, "Didn't you feel the alarm of the bracelet?"
"How is that possible?" Karen slowly raised her left hand, only to see that the bracelet on her left wrist was still as red as fire. "This thing really burned me. Ah, it's not just me. When I stuffed this thing into that woman's body just now, she screamed... Okay, okay, no more jokes. Anyway, you can see that my alarm system is still there."
"Then why are you indifferent?"
"Indifferent?" Karen looked at the Dean and smiled again. "It wasn't me who died, so what does it have to do with me? Besides, you are afraid of that guy, but I am not. You should know that he won't come looking for me."
As he spoke, he pointed to the notes on his tumor-covered body.
"Does he really want a note like mine? Does he really dare to ask for it? You should all know this. Besides, I was born with this. Do you think he can copy it?"
"So, I am the last person to be targeted by that guy. He knows it, and you know it too."
"In that case, why should I get involved in your affairs? What if I go out rashly and get hurt by mistake?"
"I might as well stay in the dormitory and have fun. That way, if my unfortunate brother gets killed, I can still attend his funeral, right?"
Todd was so angry at Karen that his teeth itched, but he didn't say anything in rebuttal because everyone present knew that Karen was the least likely to be a target and the least likely to be disguised.
But even so, the provost still had to deal with the matter in a businesslike manner: "I need to examine your body to make sure you are not Caesar."
"Whatever." Karen shrugged. He was not wearing any clothes, but just covered his key parts with a quilt. When the Dean of Academic Affairs said he wanted to check, he winked at the school workers present, and then quickly opened the quilt, "Here, if you want to see it, I'll show it to you."
He has no sense of shame.
Hevinia could only lower her head in time and act helpless.
The Dean of Academic Affairs didn't say anything else, and simply raised his staff and pointed it at Karen.
In less than a minute, he took back the staff.
"Yeah, no problem."
"I've already said that no one can imitate me." Karen said calmly, "If someone can take all this stuff away from me, then that's his skill. Is it necessary to take off your pants to fart?"
"Even if it wasn't you, you would still be punished, Karen." The Dean of Academic Affairs said calmly, "At least the school rules don't allow you to bring the opposite sex in."
"I admit it." Karen said with a smile, "It would be best to post it as a penalty notice... Oh, it must be the full name, Karen Chuke. We Chukes have always been upright, so the name must not be missing."
"Don't worry." The Dean of Academic Affairs said calmly, "I won't fall behind."
Then the Dean turned around, walked past Todd, whose face was purple with anger, and stood in front of Hevinia.
"Okay, Miss Hevinia." The Dean's tone was not as stiff as when he was talking to Karen. He even had a faint smile on his face. "It's your turn next. Please tell me about your situation... As you know, something big happened tonight, and I must have information about everyone."
...It's here again.
Hevinia knew very well that the Dean was most suspicious of her, not Karen.
What he said to Karen now was just to show everyone that he was doing things according to procedures and regulations, and it was not directed at himself.
After all, she is still the principal's favorite student on the surface.
"Of course, Provost." Helvinia tried to remain calm. "Just ask."
"Very good, then let's follow the process just now. Everyone will have to go through it again later." The Dean of Academic Affairs said with a smile, "Can you show me your bracelet?"
Helvinia nodded and raised her hand.
Her wrist was the same as Karen's, with a red bracelet that looked like a branding iron.
"That means you were also warned," said the Dean of Academic Affairs. "In that case, where were you at that time? Your dormitory?"
"No." Helvinia shook her head. "I'm in the study room."
"Study room?"
"Yes."
"Excuse me, Miss Helvinia, but what are you doing in the study room at this hour?"
Before Hevinia could explain, a school worker rushed in: "Mr. Dean, we didn't find Miss Hevinia in the dormitory. We only found a letter... eh?"
The janitor who rushed in was stunned when he saw Hevinia talking to the Dean of Studies.
The Dean of Academic Affairs looked up and saw the letter in the janitor's hand.
Although it was just a glance, he could see most of the contents of the letter and frowned slightly.
"I just asked you to go find Miss Helvinia, but I didn't ask you to go into her room." The Dean of Academic Affairs said coldly, "You also touched Miss Helvinia's private letters? Who allowed you to do this?"
The janitor reacted quickly after a brief moment of shock and immediately apologized to Helvinia: "I'm sorry, Miss Helvinia, I was rude."
Hevinia pursed her lips and shook her head: "It doesn't matter, it's just a letter to a friend. Of course it would be better if you could return it to me."
The janitor subconsciously glanced at the Dean of Academic Affairs, who nodded slightly, and the janitor immediately returned the letter.
Under the gaze of everyone, Hevinia carefully folded the letter, as if she was treating something extremely important, and then slowly put it away.
During this period, the Dean of Academic Affairs said nothing and just waited quietly.
He didn't speak again until Helvinia put the letter away: "Miss Helvinia, since you received the warning, why didn't you come to us?"
"Well..." Hevinia bit her lower lip lightly, "I'm a little scared."
"Fear?"
"Yes, I have seen Caesar. I know what kind of person he is." Helvinia said, "I was afraid that if I left the study room without knowing the situation clearly, I would run into him, so I stayed in the study room without moving. At least there were people in the study room. I waited until I learned your location, and then I rushed over... I'm sorry, I was really scared."
"It's natural to be afraid, Miss Helvinia," said the Dean of Studies. "I can understand that, but... you said you were in the study room the whole time, so someone must have seen you?"
"Yes," answered Helvinia, "but I do not know them. If you do not believe me, Dean, you can call them here, and then you will know."
Helvinia's emphasis is on "here".
She had too little time and the door was blocked, so there was no way she could get to the study room and use [Domination] immediately.
That's why she directed the conversation to mean that the Dean of Academic Affairs had brought those people here to confront her face to face.
This way, she could use [Domination] on the spot.
Although this was a very risky action, and given Hevinia's current physical condition, it would be difficult for her to use [Domination] too many times, she had no other choice now.
"Is that so? I understand." The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded slightly, then said with a smile, "There is no need to ask someone to come for verification. Of course I trust you and understand you, so it's just the last step."
...coming.
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
The last process...is naturally testing.
Although Hevinia had the ability to hide music scores and notes, she didn't know how useful this ability would be in front of the Dean.
In this case, the only option is to use [Domination].
Although using [Domination] on the Dean of Academic Affairs would definitely carry higher risks and costs than using [Domination] on other people, but...
"Let me do it, Dean." A female voice came from behind the crowd, "Miss Hevinia is a girl after all. It's not appropriate for a grown man like you to look at her naked body like this."
Everyone was slightly stunned and subconsciously turned their heads to see a tall woman standing behind them.
It was Anita.
"Oh... Miss Anita?" The Dean seemed a little surprised. "Why are you here?"
"The principal asked me to come."
"…The principal knows?"
"Of course." Anita said calmly, "Such a big thing happened tonight, it's hard for the principal not to know."
"It's my fault." The Dean of Academic Affairs said guiltily, "I didn't take good care of this college for the president."
"There's no need to blame yourself, Mr. Dean. You know I'm not very good at comforting people." Anita said, turning her eyes to Hevinia, "So, leave the examination of this child to me, okay?"
The Dean of Academic Affairs hesitated for a short time before smiling and said, "Of course. In fact, even if you don't come, I will send someone to find you. After all, it is not easy for us to examine Miss Hevinia. If you are willing to help, that would be even better, but it is best not to go too far."
"Of course." Anita nodded. "It's in the next room. You can all hear it."
With Anita's sudden intervention, Hevinia had no choice but to follow her to the next room.
Therefore, the target of [Domination] can only be changed.
However, whether it was the Dean or Anita, their strength was unknown to Hevinia.
But for some reason, Hevinia always felt that Anita was more dangerous than the Dean of Studies, who was the second most important person in the academy.
After entering the next room, Hevinia began to take off her clothes while weighing her words in her mind, wondering how to guide [Domination] with the shortest words.
"Miss Anita." Helvinia said slowly, "I..."
"alright."
Anita suddenly spoke loudly, which made Hevinia stunned. Then, without even giving Hevinia time to react, she walked straight past her.
Then Hevinia heard Anita speaking to the Dean in the next room.
"Mr. Provost, there is nothing wrong with Hevinia. She is just herself."
Hevinia turned her head and stared at Anita's back, her eyes full of disbelief.
She clearly hasn't used [Domination] yet.
why is that?
…
A minute later, Helvinia returned to her previous room after re-dressing.
Everyone was staring at her and she looked around but couldn't see Anita.
"Miss Anita has left." The Dean of Academic Affairs said calmly, "She has to go back to take care of the principal. She said she can't take you back to the dormitory and asked you to be careful on the way."
Helvinia nodded gently, "I will...so, can I leave now?"
"Of course." The Dean of Academic Affairs chuckled and said, "I'll take you out."
The Dean did not give Hevinia a chance to refuse and walked straight to her side.
This made Hevinia realize that the Dean obviously did not believe Anita's previous statement, at least not completely.
But she couldn't show anything, so she could only pretend that she knew nothing and thanked the Dean of Academic Affairs with gratitude.
The rest of the group remained where they were, waiting to be examined, while the Provost took Hevinia away.
The Dean of Academic Affairs didn't say a word while walking in the corridor, so Hevinia could only follow him with extreme caution.
But the Dean of Academic Affairs did not make any unnecessary moves.
He didn't stop until he reached the door.
"That's it," said the Dean, smiling. "I won't see you off, Miss Helvinia."
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
Are you asking her to go back to the girls' dormitory alone?
When Caesar has not yet been confirmed?
She understood something, but still pretended not to know, and nodded to the Dean of Studies gratefully: "Thank you, Dean of Studies."
Then he opened the door and prepared to leave.
At this time, the Dean spoke again: "Do you know the tuner, Miss Hevinia?"
Helvinia paused and looked back at the Provost.
"You should have seen it in the girls' dormitory, right?"
"Yes, Dean." Helvinia nodded. "Isn't that the one next to you?"
To the left of the Dean of Academic Affairs is a tuner sitting in the wall like a sculpture.
"Yes, this is the tuner." The Dean of Academic Affairs gently patted the male tuner on the shoulder. "It has always been said that the tuner cannot sense anything in the outside world while tuning."
"Yeah, I've heard of it."
“But it’s actually fake.”
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
"In fact, he can sense everything outside, but not through his five senses, but through his more sensitive musical induction." The Dean of Academic Affairs said, "In other words, he will be able to remember any performer who passes by him. So, do you think he will know who the performer who finally opened the door is?"
Hevinia pursed her lips, then gently tucked her messy hair behind her ears.
"If he could wake up," said Helvinia, "then he might indeed know everything."
"Of course," the Dean chuckled, "if he can wake up."
Then he paused.
"But I will wake him up."
