Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 408: Fifty-four, take his life away_2

“Idiot, how could you inform the students about this? If they leave, who will lure that guy?”

Beside, Hewinia silently listened while looking at the cup of black tea in front of her, which held a reflection of herself that now seemed especially blurry.

Then, she felt a shadow fall before her, someone had walked up to her side.

She lifted her head and noticed an old man with a full head of silver hair, wearing a badge of the Lawrence family on his chest.

“Good morning, Miss Hewinia.” The old man smiled and touched his chest, “Master Phinis has sent me to escort you away.”

Twenty minutes later, Hewinia arrived at the dock of Thousand Snow Lake.

“Shall we leave by boat?” Hewinia asked.

“Yes, Miss Hewinia,” the old man replied with a smile, “it takes a whole day to cross the entirety of Thousand Snow Lake from the Three Colleges to the First Academy.”

“Is it that far?”

“Of course, after all, this is the path of pilgrimage,” the old man said. “It’s usually a bit troublesome, but now, it’s the most appropriate route, isn’t it?”

Hewinia looked at the old man.

“With the natural barrier of Thousand Snow Lake, that troublesome fellow will not be able to mix into the First Academy,” said the old man. “Of course, even if he really does get there, the Lawrence family will ensure your safety. Please believe this—we have all made this assurance to your father.”

Hearing what the old man said, Hewinia immediately responded with a grateful expression.

There were not few people on the dock, the majority being Orchestra Players who had come to hunt Cesar the previous day, with a few senior professors from the Three Colleges as well, like Hewinia’s mentor Leon, and the Dean of the Three Colleges, Gucci.

This scene caused Hewinia some surprise.

Which meant…

Hewinia turned her head again and looked towards the Three Colleges.

This academy, with its thousand years of heritage, towering majestically, was now enveloped in snow and wind, as if abandoned by the world.

Hewinia suddenly thought of Adelle, she looked around, and as expected, did not see her at the dock.

“I killed my best friend, but still wasn’t chosen by the Orchestra.”

“All of this… is meaningless.”

Adelle’s words from last night surfaced in Hewinia’s mind, and at this point, Hewinia realized that Adelle must have already known of the academy’s decision yesterday night.

“It’s time to board the ship, Miss Hewinia.” The old man’s voice woke Hewinia from her somewhat chaotic thoughts. She turned her head and saw the old man, who had already boarded, reaching out his hand towards her, “It’s a bit bumpy, please hold my hand.”

Hewinia nodded.

She also set aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind, quickly stepped forward, and reached out her hand towards the old man.

Then, she heard a conversation from another boat.

“Where’s Hughes? Why hasn’t he come yet?”

“Don’t you know? Hughes is dead.”

“Ah?”

“They went to the library last night to hunt that guy, and it was a complete massacre. The only one left on the scene was a Silver Rank Night Watchman.”

“There was a survivor?”

“Yes, but he’s gone mad.”

“‘Mad’? What do you mean?”

“He’s sitting alone in blood, performing Ascension Magic,” the man shrugged, “you tell me if that’s not insane.”

Hewinia’s pupils narrowed slightly.

The hand she had extended stopped mid-air.

The old man looked at Hewinia with some puzzlement, “What’s wrong, Miss Hewinia?”

After a brief silence, Hewinia slowly withdrew her hand and then with a smile said, “Sorry, I think I forgot something very important and need to go back to get it.”

Then, she turned around, and under everyone’s gaze, she walked into the forsaken academy.

…

The smell of blood.

The intense, rich scent of blood.

Last time she was here, it was the smell of books, and the few blood scents were from Hewinia herself.

Hewinia walked through the library, the disorder and blood before her unmistakably hinted at the tragedy that had transpired.

Clearly, what that Player on the ship referred to as ‘cleaning the scene’ was merely removing the bodies.

Perhaps only most of the bodies were removed, as the shattered viscera, severed limbs were still there, completely unprocessed, giving the place the look of a hell on earth.

Hewinia could imagine that person’s fear, to remove most of the bodies was the limit of what she could do.

No one would want to stay here for long.

Except…

Hewinia stopped walking, observing the boy who looked completely out of place, furiously writing in the midst of the pool of blood.

Suddenly, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Letting out a breath she had been holding since yesterday.

“What are you doing at this time?” Hewinia spoke up, “Is there an exam tomorrow?”

The furiously writing boy jerked in shock, immediately raising his head.

Seeing Hewinia, his cloudy eyes filled with disbelief.

“Hewinia!” Ogg said joyfully, “You’ve finally come!”

“I just came to have a look,” Hewinia said indifferently, “and I’ll be leaving right away.”

“That’s enough, it’s enough,” Ogg nodded repeatedly, pointing to his notes, “I was just worried about how to get these to you, they wouldn’t let me bring them to you.”

“What is that? Cheat sheets?” Hewinia frowned tightly, then unconsciously took a couple of steps towards Ogg, “I don’t need to take exams now…”

She stopped mid-sentence.
