"This is not a very funny joke.”Felix shook his head.
"Indeed. Then…let's get down to business.”Ziyuan spread her hands and made an inviting gesture.
"Looks like I need to re-evaluate you.”Felix said meaningfully.
"This is for the best." Ziyuan nodded.
" We need you to get rid of the Magic Gnawer," Felix said seriously.
"Magic Gnawer, what the hell?”Ziyuan raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Every year, there will be people whose whereabouts are unknown in this school.”Felix didn't answer directly, but talked about something else.
It seemed that what Felix said should be related to her question. Ziyuan nodded and continued listening.
"Most of them quit school voluntarily. They were not interested in the courses arranged by the school. If they could not keep up with the courses, they would be eliminated. The tuition fees were too high. There are all sorts of reasons."
The Walpurgus King's College was at the top of the ivory tower, and the threshold was very high. Some people had the ability and money to study, while those who didn't needed financial support.
The military, consortiums, churches, underground organizations, and other organizations of various countries had therefore funded a large amount of funds.
From the perspective of the sponsors, those who dropped out of school were like traitors.
Therefore, they were often asked to pay back the tuition fees they had already paid, the penalty for breaching the contract, and so on. In some cases, they even lost their lives.
"But there is something strange.”Felix's tone changed, and he continued in a rare serious tone.
"Last October, when school started, six people went missing-it was obviously too sudden. Not only that, but we also found two mannequins that were destroyed.”
"The doll was destroyed?" Hearing these words, Ziyuan frowned slightly.
"That's right. If he only wanted to escape, he would not destroy his puppet.”
Dolls were the assets of the Puppeteer and the capital of their lives. If they were useless, they could still be sold for a price. There was no reason to destroy it.
If that was the case…
" They were attacked," Ziyuan asserted.
"It's very possible." Felix nodded.
"Uh…you guys just let the murderer go for so long?”
"No, we didn't stand by and watch. We've been working with the police to increase night patrols for months. Of course, they were also conducting an investigation.”
"What was the result?"
"Not at all. They had collected some eyewitness testimonies, but most of them had been exaggerated and Chengdu City legends. He said that Jack the Ripper had returned. The only thing he could figure out was that there was something called the Magic Gnawer in this school. This guy liked to eat puppets.”
"... Likes... Is that so?"
Ye Ye's body stiffened. As a puppet, she was also in danger of being hunted. She must have felt very terrifying.
As if sensing Ye Ye's fear, Ziyuan gently pulled her closer to her.
"Why are you scared?"
" That's not true…" Ye Ye muttered softly.
As he spoke, Felix put down his glass. As if he had regained control of his words, the smile on his face returned.
However, all he saw was the two of them showing off their love and seemed to have completely ignored him.
Phillips looked at Ziyuan and Ye Ye awkwardly. It was not until the two of them were done being intimate that he coughed lightly to attract their attention again.
"That's all I have to say. Magic Gnawers are a threat to the school-enemies that must be defeated. He is also an opponent that matches your strength.”
"Stop, stop, stop…speaking of having the same strength as me, I have some doubts.”Ziyuan said helplessly again.
"No need to be humble. I don't believe that an ignorant and incompetent guy would have the guts to directly challenge the tyrant of this school. Moreover, you successfully took Sigmund's beam cannon and came out unscathed, right?”Felix seemed to have done his research, so he directly denied Ziyuan's refusal.
It was not a secret that Ziyuan had taken over the laser cannon. Xia 'er felt that Ziyuan was the successor of a large organization, so she had a powerful magic prop. However, the onlookers did not think so. They only treated Ziyuan as a poor boy who had appeared out of nowhere and thought that Ziyuan had relied purely on her strength to receive Xia 'er's attack.
Ziyuan shrugged helplessly. Before the challenge, she did not know that the silly and cute girl was such a powerful figure in this school.
"Alright, alright. Then why are you looking for me? There should be countless people stronger than me, right?"
"There are two reasons. Firstly, you are definitely not a Magic Gnawer.”Felix said as he stretched out a finger.
"Oh? Aren't you the same?" Ziyuan raised her eyebrows.
"All the students and teachers are suspects, including me. But you are different, because you have only been here a few days.”Felix spoke again.
"Then…what about the second one?" Ziyuan nodded and continued to ask, indicating that this reason was barely acceptable.
"You are very strong."
Ziyuan was speechless.
Although Ziyuan looked speechless, Felix did not look like he was trying to incite her emotions or compliment her. Instead, he looked extremely serious.
"I believe that it has the strength to rival the Thirteen, so we need to find someone of equal strength. And you, a powerful person who is definitely not 'it', are the best target for investigation.”
"Alright, I roughly understand what needs to be done.”Ziyuan stood up lazily. In her heart, she had already sentenced that magic eater to death.
The night meeting wasn't important, but if Ye Ye felt uneasy, then this guy had to be eliminated.
"In that case, the Discipline Committee would like to thank you for your help, Student Ziyuan.”Felix finally narrowed his eyes happily and said slowly.
"Other than that, are there any other questions?”
"There are a total of a hundred people participating in the night gathering. If I obtain the qualifications…"
" Of course, there will be people who will be removed, but…"
Felix said concisely with a smile.
"In the 200 years of history of the Night Gathering, there has never been an incident where the last person obtained the Demon King title. Even if someone gets kicked out because of you, it won't affect the overall situation.”
Felix said with an indifferent expression. The weak did not deserve the right to participate in the Night Meeting. Even if those at the bottom were removed, it could only be said that they were not as strong as others.
"Felix!"
Suddenly, someone rushed in without knocking.
The person who entered was a woman with long hair that reached her shoulders and eyes that were full of wisdom. Although she had the aura of a noble and was well-developed, she was still inferior to Xia 'er and Felix in terms of aura. There was also a Censor badge on her wrist, and she was also wearing a handbag that was limited to the participants of the night party.
The moment she saw this woman, Ziyuan narrowed her eyes because there was no doubt that the girl in front of her was not a human... but a puppet.
Interesting…A thief calling out to catch a thief?
In just a moment, Ziyuan understood Felix's plan. A cunning smile appeared on her face. Then... I'll play this thief catching game with you.
