Before they started wandering around, they decided to set a clear goal first

“There’s no proble continued He was a uide than what his tea the cause is the first step to solving any proble proposed the 5W1H method to approach the situation, namely to identify the Where, What, When, Why, Where, and How Currently, they were able to answer five of the six questions, leaving only the ‘how’ to be figured out To find an answer to the question, Nangnang suggested a very si around it We have to search the place thoroughly no lance, there were already several buildings that they could immediately see, and the caht they would be able to complete their search quickly He pointed at the corpse at the bottom of the staircase and said, “That corpse’s face was stricken with fear, and based on thefor his life before he exhausted his strength and died In other words, there’s soht”

Nangnang looked up at the towering ot into a rho clilass door They went inside The interior was no different froular school At the front stood a wide staircase leading upstairs, and a passageway stretched forward each Stopping in his tracks, Nangnang pondered for a bit before heading to the hallway on the left As he had suggested before entering the ca to search the place thoroughly without overlooking a spot

Although he could intervene, Chi-Woo decided to respect the guide’s judg went to the nearest one and pressed his face against it, craning his ears to listen closely After staying in that position for a while, he gave his companions a pointed look, and Snowy Mountain ca said quietly before pushi+ng the door open with great care Snowy Mountain raised both arms, ready to drop into defense; he put his ar happened

The room was a mess It looked like a classroom, but all the desks and chairs inside were broken and scattered

—Ohdown froht’ Chi-Woo only relanced at Philip, and his tenseness eased a bit For so

“H went inside and slowly circled around the classroo the room at the same time Then he looked down at the floor and sniffed

“There are traces of escape” Nangnang’s nose twitched “There are signs of a disorderly, hectic retreat It seemed about six or seven people had hurriedly escaped after seeing so”

“The door was closed,” Snowy Mountain added in a low voice If people were running away so hurriedly, the door should’ve been left open

“That’s why I a at the area It seems some had run toward the door and…” With his eyes on the floor, Nangnang returned to the door

“…When they were about to reach the door,” Nangnang looked back again and continued, “…They were dragged off None of them were left behind, not even one” In other words, there had been a h to overpower several skilled individuals at once

As Nangnang shared his observations, Chi-Woo looked at hiure out what had happened no matter how hard he surveyed the roo a vivid picture with the traces left in the room, as if he had been at the actual scene

“…It really is strange,” Nangnang said with confusion, “If they had tried to run away but failed…theylooked around and tilted his head, “But I can’t find any traces of blood It’s too clean here”

Like the knight they found dead fro, there was little evidence for the exact cause of their death

“Perhaps they weren’t dragged away?” Shadiaan answer due to his uncertainty

Unfortunately, they failed to gather more information after the first room; the rooms were all in similar messes, and there wasn’t much of a difference between the traces they found After not achieving roup went up to the second floor without pause, but the search turned out to be likewise futile They were about to go up to the third floor when Nangnang suddenly stopped walking

“What is it?” Shadia asked

Dropping to all fours on the staircase with his tail raised high, Nangnang whispered, “I hear a sound,” his hair standing on end

Chi-Woo craned his ears to listen

Uh…Uh…

He heard it then It was a faint sound that he could barelyvery sorrowfully… Why is it so creepy?

Philip hunched his shoulders and shuddered

“We’re going up Just refrain fro began to cliain, but he wastheir best to stay as quiet as possible, the groups climbed up to the third floor, and the sound became clearer

“Uhah…Uhahhhh…” It was a frail, thin voice It sounded like a baby babbling, or a girl sobbing No sooner had all of the swiveled to one side Chi-Woo also turned around, his eyes narrowed To the left of the stairs that led to the fourth floor, there was a girl sitting in thethe noises with her head bowed She hat looked like a uniform, and it seemed she was one of the Salem Academy’s students
