Chapter 258 - The Novice Breeder (18) (2/2)
Ming Shu: “…”
What the hell? That devil Si Luo abducted my little snack again.
Most people were having fun at the bonfire banquet. A few people leaving didn’t affect them at all. Ming Shu’s little snack was abducted and her mood was affected. She left the banquet and walked into the castle.
“No, someone will come soon…”
“What are you scared of? They’re all outside.”
Ming Shu was surprised and then shouted toward the darkness, “Who is having an affair!”
There was no more sound coming from the darkness.
Ming Shu smiled gently and walked up the stairs. She met two attendants cleaning the castle. They looked at Ming Shu with eerie gazes.
Ming Shu reached her room in an instant. However, she saw a shadow flash past from the corner of her eyes. She frowned slightly.
After thinking for a while, she chased after it.
…
“Ahhhhh—!”
A shrill scream broke the silence of the castle.
A person rushed out from the end of the corridor. The smell of blood flowed through the air. It was the smell of human blood.
“Someone is dead!”
The person who ran out shouted in fear, “Somebody help! Someone is dead. Someone died!”
…
When Ming Shu arrived, the crime scene was already filled with people. She stood outside and watched.
The attendant laid a white cloth over the girl.
The girl was the one who bumped into her at the bonfire banquet.
“She was bitten to death.”
The one who spoke was a single-eyed vampire. He had just appeared and the attendants called him the butler.
“Why is there a vampire attacking humans…”
“Who did it?”
“Is it the people of this castle?”
“No way…”
Gossips started sprouting everywhere. The butler turned around and looked at the students indifferently. He spoke in a stable tone: “For everyone’s safety, please gather in the dining hall.”
The vampires were not really scared, but the humans were. They gathered in groups and stayed away from the vampires.
The lights in the dining hall were all on, illuminating the dining hall completely.
Ming Shu found a place and sat down.
“Who did it?”
“Who knows. All the vampires are suspicious.”
The vampires got unhappy and refuted, “That might not be true. What if a human imitated a vampire and committed this crime?”
The geniuses started investigating the case. “I just saw He Jiajia one hour ago. How can a human finish committing the crime in such a short time?”
The vampire argued, “How do you know it was He Jiajia that you saw? The lighting was so dim. Did you speak to her?”
The human didn’t give in. “I sat behind He Jiajia in school. I know her very well. I can’t possibly make a mistake.”
The two parties were preparing to fight each other when the butler appeared at the right time and stopped their argument.
“Please check and see who is not here.”
“There is Shao Ping, Alice, Si Luo, Andy, Yun Ce, Xia Fu, Yun Ce and…” Mi Li stood up and said, “Wei Xi.”
“Isn’t Wei Xi here?” Someone pointed at the corner. Ming Shu swung her legs. Her body was half-blocked by the pillar and the person in front of her was standing up. Hence, Mi Li might not have noticed her.
Mi Li froze for a while and said, “I didn’t see her.”
Xia Fu and Yun Ce were in their rooms and were called down instantly.
Yuan Xi and Si Luo came back from outside. Alice and Shao Ping could be found and Andy was missing.
Alice was a vampire. Shao Ping was human.
Xia Fu sat beside Ming Shu and didn’t say anything. He typed on his cellphone.
“I saw you walking over to the crime scene before it happened. Why did you go there?” Xia Fu finished typing and showed it to Ming Shu.
“Why are you observing me?” Ming Shu’s smile was gentle. “If I say I went to murder someone, will you believe me?”
“I won’t.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and maintained her gentle smile.
