Mo Fan and Brianca left Faerun Castle. He could see Brianca was not in a great mood, but unfortunately, she was not the headmistress. She did not have the power to seal off the school.

“I have seen a lot of bad people. I can barely consider myself a criminal profiler. It’s obviously not just a prank. No one would go so far and kill so many little creatures so brutally just for a prank. The wounds on the creatures and the way the culprit placed their bodies clearly showed the strong hatred the person has. We shouldn’t rule out the possibility that the person will target the students,” Mo Fan said seriously.

“Do you really think that?” Brianca looked Mo Fan in the eyes.

“Mm, a person with such a strong murderous intent is not the same as us, who were hunting a wild hare to feed ourselves. The person’s goal is very obvious; they are basically saying that he or she is willing to go as far as killing the little creatures that your school worships. The culprit is declaring war against your school in a confident and ruthless manner, since the person isn’t afraid that you will find out what he or she is up to,” Mo Fan replied.

Mo Fan could guess what the bad people were thinking after spending so much time around them.

Revenge!

Mo Fan could smell the rotten scent of the mad culprit. The person was clearly not going to be satisfied with just killing the little creatures. The female students of the Alps Institute would be in danger if they stumbled into that person!

Mo Fan believed sealing the school was the right approach. The Alps Institute was incredibly huge. Even flying from the north gate to the south gate would take a long time. On top of that, the school was split into four main areas. Faerun School was located in the middle, where the terrain was level. Lanxue School was located in the west, separated by a huge mountain. Weitian School was in the east, where the terrain was the highest, consisting of a few mountains joined by bridges. Holy Judgement School was in the north. They were the closest to Faerun School, but also the closest to the scene where the little creatures were massacred.

The culprit possessed remarkably high cultivation. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill so many little creatures and gather them in the area before the blood even permeated the snow. Brianca tried using her Wind Domain to scan the mountain, but she found no trace of the culprit. It was clear that the culprit was no ordinary Mage!

Sealing off the school was the best approach. They also had to gather all the students in the same school. They could not afford to let them split up, nor could they let them train alone and be on their own!

“You seem to be quite experienced in dealing with these kind of people?” Brianca asked when she realized how plausible Mo Fan’s analysis was.

“More or less. The scum that I’ve sent to Hell could form two soccer teams by now,” Mo Fan said with a smile.

“I’m only a teacher that punishes students that break the rules. We do have some bad-behaving students, but they are innocent and kind compared to this kind of maniac that slaughtered so many creatures just to provoke us. I’m afraid I will have trouble finding the culprit within a short period of time on my own. Can you lend me a hand?” Brianca asked.

“I can see that you aren’t really familiar with the outside world… as an apology for killing the hare, I’ll help you find the culprit,” Mo Fan said.

Brianca’s face had been extremely pale when she first beheld the gory sight. She had been holding back the urge to throw up.

It was obvious that she had never seen such a brutal sight. She was the kind of Mage that cleansed her heart and limited her desires to pursue higher cultivation. She might be in danger if she had to deal with the cunning and cruel culprit herself.

Having a high cultivation was not necessarily enough at times. If the culprit kept killing the little creatures or targeted the more vulnerable students, even a Forbidden Mage could not do anything to stop them if they could not find who the culprit was!

——

It grew dark soon; the day was slightly shorter in the Alps. Mo Fan and Brianca made their way to the dining hall.

Brianca did not even have the appetite to eat. She was clearly lost in thought. She could not understand why anyone would kill the little creatures they worshiped in such a brutal manner.

On the other hand, Mo Fan was starving. He had been through a lot of situations where brains, blood, and organs were scattered across the place. The recent discovery was nowhere enough to affect his appetite.

“Miss Brianca, are you feeling not well?” Mo Fan pretended to sound indifferent as he asked the question.

He still remembered the two bowls of soup that were mixed with the aphrodisiac. He was scared that the effects had arrived late.

“I’m fine, I’m just struggling to believe it,” Brianca said. She noticed the strange look in Mo Fan’s eyes. She touched her face and said, “Do I look like I’m sick to you?”

“Oh, nothing, it’s nothing. You should go take a rest. I don’t think the person is going to do anything soon…” Mo Fan replied.

“Alright, thanks for your help.”

“My pleasure.”

Mo Fan went back to his room and immediately went to look for Mu Bai.

Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan were caught while they were trying to run away, too. They were also wearing the magic bracelet, so Ceylan knew exactly where they were. They were not dumb enough to say they were trying to run away. They told Ceylan they were planning to go to the city to enjoy a nice meal, since they could not stand the meals that were served in the school.

“Is Brianca fine?” Mu Bai asked Mo Fan curiously.

“Mmm, she wasn’t behaving strangely,” Mo Fan nodded.

“Wow, Mo Fan, how shameless are you? You knew she was going to be aroused by the aphrodisiac. Did you follow her to wait for the chance to… tsk tsk tsk, that Bianca is indeed a beauty if she isn’t such an unreasonable person. Most importantly, her cultivation is so insane at such a young age. Mo Fan, you won’t have to worry about your future anymore if you can settle her!” Zhao Manyan leered.

“Assh***, I was just worried that she might learn what we had done, so I tried my best to leave a good impression in front of her. Otherwise, she would suspect us right away if she was feeling unwell! We are wearing the magic bracelets, there’s no way we can run away!” Mo Fan snarled.

“I see, you’re trying to earn her trust. How did it go?” Zhao Manyan asked.

“Something happened in the school.” Mo Fan told them about their discovery in the afternoon.

Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan were dumbfounded.

Mu Bai finally spoke after a while, “That’s impossible, we were there last night. We didn’t see anything at all. How is it possible that the place was full of dead animals the next day?”

“Someone must have done it during the latter half of the night, after we were caught. Everyone was at school in the morning; no one saw it since no one was patrolling,” Mo Fan answered.

“The culprit’s cultivation must be very high. It took us great effort just to catch the hare, and the little creatures are sparsely spread across the mountain. The culprit most likely traveled a few dozen, or even up to a hundred kilometers, just to kill a thousand little creatures,” Zhao Manyan said.

“I believe the person is going to target the students,” Mo Fan said.

It was possible to predict a person’s behavior from what they had done before. The culprit completely disregarded the value of the little creatures’ lives, meaning that the person would not hesitate to murder humans, either!
