Chapter 523 The Truth

Professor Capek's office was stolen and soon became a hot topic throughout the master's school.

Although it is already unbelievable that someone would dare to steal in a heavily guarded place like Shuo Academy, what everyone is more concerned about is what the other party did - the entire safe was taken away. What the hell is this?

There are even students who have been to Professor Capek's office and used their mathematical knowledge to calculate that the entire safe is about one meter high and weighs about 180 kilograms. Who can take this safe without knowing it? The safe was taken away without being discovered?

For a time, all the students in the Master College were discussing this issue. Some people thought it was driving, but driving must pass through the gate guarded by guards. However, neither the guards nor the cameras captured any traces of vehicles entering or leaving the Master Academy in the evening. Not only that, but the most surprising thing is that such a large safe should at least leave traces no matter how it is moved.

However, the fact is that there are no traces in the entire office except where the safe was originally placed. Even the police were scratching their heads when they came.

It was as if the entire large safe had disappeared from the office out of thin air.

This immediately aroused the curiosity of the students and even the teachers. Everyone was trying their best to argue and find a reasonable explanation. There was even a professor who was bored and opened a research group for this purpose. The topic was "Study how a 180-kilogram safe disappeared out of thin air without being noticed or leaving any traces." If the funds are too much and cannot be used up, they can be given to other research groups.

Of course, the victim, Professor Capek, did not have this leisure. After the safe disappeared, he seemed to become more neurotic than others. So much so that I have been huddled in my office, hiding in the corner like a frightened hamster holding the leather bag that I never leave, and not seeing anyone...

Duanmuhuai naturally knew nothing about Professor Capek's situation. In fact, he was standing in front of the safe now, and the heavy safe door, which was originally just closed, now looked like a The thick kraft paper was torn open roughly, looking like a courier box that was torn into pieces because the recipient was too lazy to open the box... Well, it was pretty much the same to Duanmu Huai anyway.

But what was stored in the safe was surprising.

"……………love letter?"

Looking at these love letters written in a disgusting tone that made everyone tremble in his hand, Duanmu Huai felt that he was not feeling well. The words in it were so artificial that they made him want to cry... Well, maybe it was because Duanmu Huai had never written a love letter before, so he couldn't understand this approach.

However, these love letters were not written to Charlotte, but to a woman named Maria Bell.

Of course, Duanmu Huai was not interested in love letters, let alone other women, but fortunately, in addition to hiding his love letters, the professor's safe also contained some useful information and photos.

Among them, there are also records of Capek’s research conference.

According to the description in the document, the Capek Research Society originally originated from a séance held by Dr. Capek a year ago... Well, European aristocrats always like these shabby things, to be honest. , Duanmu Huai completely couldn't understand why these nobles were doing séances and séances every day with nothing to do.

You said that like Japanese ghost movies, a few girls are ignorant and make a fox fairy for fun. How old are you, and you are still obsessed with these messy things all day long. Is it because you are not good at smoking? The wine doesn’t taste good anymore? Women are no longer fun? Or am I not taking enough medicine?

If you have nothing to do, you have to commit suicide, right?

Although they don't know what revelations these idiots got from the seance, after the seance ended, they made a decision - to open the Tatar Gate and gain supreme power.

The Gate of Tartar, the legendary gate to hell controlled by Hecate, the goddess of the underworld... Well, I am really impatient and have nothing to do.

Then here, Duanmuhuai saw another familiar name.

Professor Capek is a professor of Master College, and he is also one of the guests of Silver Dusk House......

Well, it's the Silver Dusk Cabin again, and now it's understandable why these idiots are doing nothing but killing themselves.

To be honest, as a secret cultist organization, Silver Dusk Cabin can develop and grow among the upper class. The role played by idiots like Professor Capek who have nothing to do and like to commit suicide can be said to be the most important...

At this point, things are clear.

Seven lunatics belonging to Silver Dusk Lodge held a séance, and then gained some enlightenment and planned to open the gate to hell. They used séances to make a contract with Sharnos, the world where the Tartar Gate is located - that is, the dark city where Duanmu Huai and Mary had visited before, and thus obtained monsters that were half of their souls. Next, it seems that whoever can complete the cultivation of monsters will be able to reach and open the Tartar Gate...

The girls who were killed on the street were sacrifices to the monsters. Their bodies were torn apart and their souls were devoured for tribute and sacrifice.

Well, Duanmu Huai now finally understands why these guys are chasing after the Golden Eyes. To them, Mary's Golden Eyes are like Tang Monk meat. If you eat it, you can live forever and become an immortal. No wonder these monsters would chase Mary. If he were a monster, he would chase her too... After all, there is no Sun Wukong around this Tang Monk.

It's just that these guys are just like the monsters in Journey to the West. They are quite polite. They don't swarm them all, but come to see them off one by one... Isn't this the calabash baby saving grandpa?

Of course, they did not suffer losses during the exploration process. The woman named Maria Bell that Professor Capek was obsessed with died because of this. The Advent Society of Seven also disbanded, but the idea of ​​pursuing the Tartar Gate did not change.

Then in the second year, Charlotte Bronte took the initiative to find Professor Capek and joined his research society.

In other words, she also joined the exploration of the Tartar Gate, and...according to Professor Capek, her soul seems to have successfully entered the Tartar Gate, and what remains here is just a pure body. .

But the question is, how did Charlotte do it?

Just as Duanmuhuai was thinking, suddenly, a rapid ringing of the phone rang. Duanmuhuai picked up the phone, and then Mary's slightly panicked voice came from the phone.

"Hello, I am Mary Clarissa Christie, may I ask..."

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"Ah, sir...that's great..."

Mary breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Duanmuhuai's deep voice.

"Just now, I received an email from Charlie! Charlie sent it to me the day before she fell into a coma!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Very well, come to my place. Just in time, I have something very important to tell you..."

Not long after, there was a rapid knock on the door. Duanmuhuai walked over and opened the door, only to see Mary standing there panting.

"come in."

"Yes, sorry to bother you..."

While talking, Mary walked into the room. Then when she came to the living room, Mary immediately saw the safe sitting there with the door directly torn open.

"……………………"

Looking at the safe, Mary was stunned and speechless. It was Duanmu Huai's voice that brought her back to her senses.

"Where's the letter?"

"Ah, here it is."

As she spoke, Mary carefully took out the letter from her arms and handed it over, while Duanmuhuai also lowered his head and stared at the letter.

"…………What the hell is this??"

What was written on it was words that Duanmuhuai couldn't understand at all, like garbled words put together at random.

"Ah, this is the Kadasi inscription. Charlie and I replaced the pronunciations of the inscription with letters, and then wrote it into an article. This is what Charlie and I occasionally use to communicate...it's a little secret game, I guess."

"………………"

You guys, the History Department, even the games are so hardcore and awesome.

"You come and read it."

Duanmu Huai decisively raised his hands and surrendered.

"OK."

Mary took the letter and looked at the words on it again.

[Dear Mary... By the time you read this letter, I'm afraid I'll be dead, and if not, certainly... I'll never be able to enjoy afternoon tea with you and Asher again. Sorry, Mary, you must be very confused right now. Not even sure what's going on, I think I've left you very confused.

Sorry, but that's fine. It’s okay if you don’t know this. So... please, if you... if you are involved in any danger because you are too worried about me, please, stop.

Forget me, forget me, forget all the unpleasant things and the horrible things. Please forget me, I will be fine for sure, please, Mary... You must study hard, and always be good friends with Axie, you must live happily tomorrow... Please, please, my lovely Mary , my favorite Mary, don’t cry, keep smiling...Mary Clarissa, I wish you happiness...]

At the end of her speech, Mary lowered her head, with tears in her eyes and trembling constantly.

Duanmuhuai looked at Mary suspiciously, and then at the letter paper.

You said you are just friends?

Why do I feel the same aura as An and Gu Leiya?

Aren't you guys just reading and writing as friends?

By the way, why are there such people around me?

Ann and Gulea, Hauser and Césaire, and now another pair, Marie and Charlotte?

It's not over, right?

However, this letter can be regarded as filling in the most important piece of the entire puzzle.

"Exactly, what I want to tell you is also related to this."

After Mary calmed down, Duanmuhuai spoke. Then he took out the documents and explained the situation to Mary in detail.

I have to say that when Mary read the documents in front of her, she was completely stunned.

She had no idea that the childhood friend who had been with her since childhood would actually join a cult!

Moreover, judging from this letter, she had already been in contact with Professor Capek as early as a year ago!

This, how is this possible?

Mary couldn't believe what she saw, and instinctively wanted to deny it, but her reason told her that this was indeed a fact, but...

"Why? Why did Xia Li do this?"

"Even if you ask me, I don't know..."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly. In fact, looking at Mary in front of him, he did have a guess. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the letter Xia Li wrote to Mary was simply a love letter, but Mary herself seemed to have no reaction to it. In other words, one of the couple is gay and the other is straight?

Then it's like the flowers fall and the water flows without emotion?

So the gay one gave up on himself and pursued the Gate of Tartar? Could it be that the Gate of Tartar can even do this?

Of course, this is just Duanmu Huai's guess. After all, it may be that there are too many lesbians around him, so everyone looks like a lesbian...

Or maybe, they are just pure friendship?

Probably?

Fortunately, although she was greatly stimulated, Mary still adhered to the ladylike demeanor and quickly calmed down, but she held the letter paper and documents tightly in her hands and couldn't say anything for a while. Duanmu Huai also winked at Lorena, who immediately brought Mary a cup of black tea.

In fact, according to reason, Duanmu Huai does not need to tell all these. But he never does such a thing. To be honest, in the game, Duanmu Huai often encounters a truth that he has investigated, and finally there will be an option to tell the person concerned. At this time, Duanmu Huai will basically choose to tell.

The reason is very simple. After all, this is someone else's business. No matter what the truth is, no matter whether the other party commits suicide in despair or cheers up after knowing the truth, it is his own choice. Duanmu Huai can't do such a thing as deceiving the other party with the idea of ​​doing good for the other party. What kind of gentle lies and cruel truths are not what he should decide.

The so-called "Don't advise others to be good without experiencing others' suffering" is similar. In the same way, you are just a spectator in the whole thing, not a witness. Why do you have to influence other people's lives according to your own ideas?

Just like now, Duanmu Huai can obviously conceal part of the content and only tell Mary about the Silver Dusk Hut and the Gate of Tartary, but he still directly tells the connection between Charlotte and this cult organization... The reason is that it is not him who is friends with Charlotte, so what to do is Mary's business, and he is not qualified to make decisions for Mary.

"Thank you..."

After taking a sip of black tea, Mary seemed to calm down a lot.

"Sorry, I'm in a mess. I think I should go back and think about it..."

"It's okay, I understand."

"Then, I'm sorry, I'm rude."

While speaking, Mary stood up, and as if to change the subject, she looked directly at the safe in the living room.

"Excuse me, this safe is Professor Capek's..."

"Yes."

"Uh...how did you get it back?"

"I just carried it back like this."

"………………………"

For some reason, Mary felt that these words coming from Duanmu Huai were particularly convincing.

"Excuse me, what do you plan to do with this safe?"

"Just find a place to throw it away. I can't give it back, right? Or do you want it? Is there anyone who buys scrap metal here?"

"Uh...I appreciate your kindness..."
