Chapter 58 - Monster of the Cafeteria!

“Did you find anything?” Guo Caitang asked Mo Fan.

“I have questioned the person who last saw the missing girl. She said she smelled a rotten odor also found in the cafeteria. I have basically determined that the cafeteria either has a panty-stealing pervert or a Magical Beast.” Mo Fan pushed back his glasses in a move that exuded wisdom, How did Detective Conan put it… Oh right, there is only one truth!

“Is that so. Then tonight, you’ll keep watch over the cafeteria. The rest of us will go to the teaching blocks, the Mingwen Mountain Park, dormitory, and the school field,” Guo Caitang replied, appearing somewhat arrogant.

“That… why am I not keeping watch over the dormitories? I heard that there are a few students who stayed behind. Why don’t you let me take care of their safety…” Mo Fan said.

“Just Feishi being there is enough.”

Mo Fan felt a headache coming on. Feishi looked like a weird uncle that would steal girl’s underwear. Having him keeping watch over the dormitories would result in the girls being in even more danger!

------

That evening, Mo Fan really was assigned to watch over the cafeteria.

The cafeteria of Mingwen Girls Middle School was immensely large, looking like a huge meeting hall. As this place could be considered an aristocratic school, a cafeteria this luxurious and spacious was well within reason. Unlike the cafeteria of Tian Lan Magic High; if you wanted to hide something there, then you’d be swept out by the aunties at the cafeteria.

The dark cafeteria only had a few spots illuminated by the lights in the distance, the chairs and tables were neatly arranged. Mo Fan was squatting in a corner daydreaming about the scene of young girls wearing their short skirts in summer, the sweet fragrances overflowing in the endless radiance of the springtime...

Boom!

Booom!!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The noise came from nowhere.

A lone spoon which was forgotten on a table was swaying and trembling as it slowly moved toward the edge of the table.

As the spoon fell off the table, it hit Mo Fan’s head. Mo Fan quickly grabbed the little spoon that had nearly exposed his location.

What the Hell, who would be so bored as to leave behind their spoon after having an ice cream in the middle of the night, it almost exposed my location...

This cafeteria is really weird. Just what is the source of this trembling, it feels like there’s a construction team beneath me. Could it be that they’re building a prison basement? Lately, that kind of thing has been quite popular all across the country, Mo Fan stealthily stretched his head out as he looked around.

Grrrroowlll....

Suddenly, an extremely strange, deep noise came from the back of the kitchen in the cafeteria.

Following the noise, Mo Fan immediately smelled the rancid odor of rotten food. It was some chives, fishy-smelling meat, and salted vegetables.

Shit, there really is a Magical Beast? Mo Fan tensed up.

Before he joined the City Hunter Team, Mo Fan had always thought that the city was a very tranquil and safe world. He thought Magical Beasts were just something the adults made up just to scare kids who refused to go to sleep. Who would’ve thought that the city actually had some Magical Beasts hidden away; what aunt Mo Qing said before was not necessarily fake!

Thinking back on it, it made sense. The city was so big, there were too many unknown places. If a Magical Beast really were to appear, and there were human lives involved, the police would still prevent the information from being leaked out and then proceed to resolve the matter in private. The effect of people panicking was far worse than the things that werehappening.

Mo Fan grabbed a communication device, pressing down on it in his pocket.

This communication device was simple. It would notify his team members of his location and let them know that he had a situation.

The sound of a stomach growling resounded.
