Chapter 620: A Pair of Blood-Red Eyes Filled with Malice, Sending Shivers Down One's Spine
Wei Xishi stopped in his tracks, his dark eyes looking towards a small grove not far away.
He halted his steps, and his assistant, Liu Liu, also stopped.
Neither of them moved any further, attracting the attention of Principal Liu and the two other teachers with them.
When they entered the school campus, Principal Liu introduced the two teachers by Wei Xishi's side.
They were the teachers of the six murder victims in the past month.
Those six victims were all their students.
Seeing that Wei Xishi had stopped, Principal Liu approached him with a worried expression. "Master Wei, what's wrong?"
Wei Xishi's eyes showed a profound look, and he pointed to the small grove nearby. "Is that one of the crime scenes?"
Principal Liu followed his gaze and his face changed instantly, revealing fear and apprehension.
His eyes trembled slightly, and even his breath became heavier.
He nodded, "Yes, one of our students named Wang had an incident there."
Getting the answer he wanted, Wei Xishi nodded lightly, "It's nothing, let's continue."
However, Principal Liu didn't think so.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and caught up to Wei Xishi, asking in a trembling voice, "Master Wei, did you find something?"
Wei Xishi's voice was indifferent, "Not yet, I just have a feeling that something must have happened there. For routine crimes, the environment in the small grove is advantageous."
"...," Principal Liu's face looked aggrieved.
He thought Wei Xishi had discovered something, which made him so nervous and inexplicably frightened.
The group continued walking.
The small grove behind them became more distant.
In the pitch-black and gloomy night, silence enveloped the area, making it eerily quiet.
A cold wind blew, and the rustling of leaves in the grove filled the air, shrouding it in a chilling atmosphere.
It was now midnight.
Suddenly, a dark figure flashed by the edge of the grove.
As the wind subsided, the grove fell into an eerie silence, so quiet that it became somewhat terrifying.
Even though it was visible under the streetlights before, now it seemed to have been engulfed by darkness, becoming blurry and losing its sense of presence.
At the edge of the grove, a pair of blood-red, eerie, and sinister eyes stared fixedly at Principal Liu, Wei Xishi, and their group.
These eyes were filled with intense malice, sending shivers down one's spine.
Principal Liu brought Wei Xishi and Liu Liu to the teachers' accommodation area in the school.
Second floor.
Principal Liu stood in front of a certain room, pushing open the door.
"Master Wei, I'll trouble you and your assistant to stay in this room today."
Wei Xishi entered the room and looked around with a very picky gaze.
The room was clean and spotless, with not a speck of dust to be seen.
He thanked Principal Liu politely, appreciative of the accommodation that didn't trigger strong repulsion in his mind and body. If he were placed in a messy room, he would find it difficult to sleep tonight.
He knew very well that he wasn't here to sleep; something might happen tonight.
However, having a clean and tidy room to stay in would still make him feel better and wouldn't affect his investigation of the campus murder case tonight.
Seeing that Wei Xishi was satisfied, Principal Liu smiled and said, "You're welcome, this is what we should do."
Principal Liu was someone familiar to Wei Xishi at the school.
If it weren't for the slight acquaintance between them, Wei Xishi wouldn't have come to Otty School this time at all.
The connection between them was just a favor owed.
They met not because of metaphysics.
Many years ago, when Wei Xishi first arrived in the capital, he had no money.
Principal Liu invited him to have a bowl of noodles.
A bowl of noodles at that time was like a lifeline to him.
This was the cause and effect between them.
Otty School's incident was resolved, and the cause and effect between them would also be gone.
Principal Liu looked like he still had something to tell Wei Xishi, and he waved to the two teachers behind him, "You two should go back first."
The female teacher with glasses worriedly spoke up, "Principal Liu, can you handle it alone?"
Principal Liu was bold at this moment, "It's okay, it's just a few steps away. You two should go."
The male teacher beside her stepped forward, "Alright, then we'll leave first. Principal Liu, call us if you need anything."
"Understood."
Principal Liu waved to the two teachers and personally saw them off outside the door.
Wei Xishi took the leather case from Liu Liu and placed it on the table in the room. He unlocked it by pressing both sides.
The case contained many things: yellow paper talismans, a copper coin sword, a peach wood sword, an old book, and some small objects.
Principal Liu closed the door and walked to Wei Xishi's side.
"I didn't explain everything clearly on the phone. Let me tell you some details, so you'll have an idea."
"Go ahead." Wei Xishi didn't even raise his head.
He took out the copper coin sword from the case and flicked the tip with his fair fingers.
With a crisp sound, the echo reverberated.
Unfortunately, only Wei Xishi could hear it.
The copper coin sword was his main tool tonight, and it could be used in conjunction with his Nine Revolutions Heaven and Earth Scripture, capable of dispelling evil and exorcising malevolent spirits.
Wei Xishi held the copper coin sword and picked up the peach wood sword from the case, directly tossing it into Liu Liu's arms.
The latter clutched the peach wood sword tightly, looking extremely pleased. "Understood, thank you, boss!"
Principal Liu was just about to speak when he saw Wei Xishi's recent actions.
His earnest gaze fell on the box, showing a longing expression.
Wei Xishi didn't hesitate to take out three talismans and handed them to him.
"Principal Liu, with these three talismans, you and the two teachers will be able to sleep peacefully tonight."
"Good, thank you, thank you." Principal Liu didn't refuse at all. He put the talismans directly into his pocket, patting it with his hand, afraid that they might reveal themselves and fall out.
After storing the talismans, his face turned serious, "Master Wei, there have been six murder cases in the past month. All six victims were well-behaved. I suspect that their deaths were related to conflicts in their daily interactions."
Wei Xishi frowned, his refined face showing a hint of disgust, "Are you saying that the victims may have had disputes with others before their deaths?"
He hoped it wasn't what he was thinking.
Tragic events arising from bullying and conflicts were always the most heartbreaking.
They were all immature children. If they really did something irreparable, it would be too sad.
These children in school had unstable mentalities, they were childish and naive.
Limited to the school environment, they couldn't release their passion and vitality, always fantasizing about unrealistic things, and even doing irreparable things to satisfy
their psychological needs.
When they truly stepped into society, they would understand that the school accounted for less than one-third of their lives.
Once they stepped out of the school gate and entered the diverse circles of society, they would truly understand this world.
If the children in the school were eagles, only when they entered society could they truly grow into golden eagles, and their perspectives would change.
By that time, some negative events or complaints about studies in school would be trivial.
