Chapter 83: High-Level Magic
Seeing Kraang’s puzzled look, Teach, who was a female, answered for him, “the oily soup splashed on the clothes. It needs to be washed immediately.
After it dries, it will be very difficult to wash it off.
You don’t know this?”
“Do you think a person like me would know?”
Kraang shrugged indifferently. As a man, he really did not know so much about washing clothes.
For him, to just keep his clothes clean, all he needed was a cleaning spell.
Of course, Kraang had omitted to mention that not everyone had the leisure to learn this kind of cleaning spell, which was not helpful in battle.
Moreover, the cleaning spell sounded very ordinary and seemed very simple.
But in fact, this kind of spell was unexpectedly difficult to learn and consumed a lot of energy.
In the entire Mage Association, probably only Kraang had learned this kind of magic.
Teach said, “forget it, let’s not discuss this.
In short, this missing person most likely went missing while washing clothes in a public toilet.
This time, it was in a public toilet again!
But the first missing person went missing in her own dormitory.
What exactly is the common thread in this?
Why were they targeted and then swallowed?”
Teach frowned. She vaguely felt that this strange creature’s targets were not chosen at random.
If there was a common point between the missing cases in the girl’s dormitory, what was it?
What was it that made this strange creature choose these three girls?
Logically speaking, there were only be two people in the same dormitory. It was not difficult for a strange creature with a Domain to get to the both of them.
However, only one of them was captured.
The common point was that the missing person did something at night and then disappeared.
But there must be more specific conditions!
Otherwise, there would be more than three missing people.
There were many people who did not sleep at night in the entire dormitory building, and among them, there were people who stayed up all night.
Then what exactly was the condition to trigger it?
…
Regarding this question, not only Teach was thinking, Flanders was also thinking.
Regarding this strange phenomenon, Flanders had also been monitoring it yesterday.
If he was not mistaken, the other party was a ghost-type strange creature.
It was a strange creature formed after a person died.
In other words, this strange creature was the girl that Flanders had killed in order to save Warfarin.
It was also the first missing person.
Going to the toilet, washing clothes…
What did these things have in common?
If there was a common ground, it would be that both of them went to the public toilet and never came back.
“Public toilet?”
Flanders seemed to have understood something.
After eliminating all the possibilities, the remaining one, no matter how impossible, was the truth.
This was a classic line from Detective Sherlock Holmes.
Flanders felt that it made sense.
The common ground at the moment, excluding the first girl who had turned into a strange creature, was the only common ground between the two missing girls.
That was that they had gone to the public restroom at night.
“Looks like it’s necessary to investigate this public toilet.”
Flanders looked at Teach, who was deep in thought, through the scarecrow.
“I don’t know the answer. Have you thought of it?”
Flanders shook his head and smiled.
“It’s impossible. Unless you think of it from another angle, you’ll never come up with an answer.”
One had to know that Teach had already gone to the public restroom to investigate yesterday.
Whether it was the special equipment or magic, they did not get any clues.
In such a case, Teach’s would subconsciously ignore the option of a public toilet.
In fact, as Flanders had expected, Teach completely ignored the only clue, the public toilet.
It was not really completely ignored. There was part of a reason for it, and it was the same as what Flanders had expected.
Another part was because the first missing person was there to confuse the public.
Only Flanders knew that this strange creature was caused by the first missing person.
Whether it was Teach, Kraang, or anyone else, as long as Flanders did not say it, they might not know it until they died.
The unequal information, coupled with the limitations of some thinking, made Teach miss the correct answer.
However, at this moment, one could see the importance of having one more partner.
Having one more person to help you think often led to unexpected surprises at critical moments.
“Shall we go to the public restroom to investigate again?”
Looking at Teach, who was racking her brains but could not think of anything, Kraang suggested from the side.
“This missing person was just like the last one. They disappeared after going to the public restroom. Maybe there are clues in the public restroom that we didn’t find before?”
“What clues could there be?”
Teach answered subconsciously, “didn’t we already go there before? Didn’t we find nothing in the end?”
Kraang pulled Teach outside and set off toward the public restroom.
At the same time, he deliberately lowered his voice so that only Teach could hear him, “indeed, we did investigate before, but at that time, we had not confirmed the existence of the Domain of this strange creature.”
Krang’s words gave Teach a shock as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through her mind!
He was right, the detection methods used at that time did not take into account this strange creature’s Domain.
If they had changed the method and changed it to a method that specifically targeted the Domain, the result might have been different.
Most of the spells related to Domains were very high-level, and ordinary mages could not learn them at all.
However, this did not include Teach.
As an F-grade mage who was famous for her detection skills in the entire Mage Association.
Teach was able to get everyone’s attention because of his incomparable talent in this area.
Without resisting, Teach took out the equipment that she had used yesterday and followed Kraang to the public restroom.
They did not notice that there was a scarecrow following behind them like a shadow.
This was Flanders’s scarecrow. As an invisible unit, normal mages would not be able to detect its existence.
Even a mage like Teach who specialized in detection, if she did not deliberately target it, she would not have noticed it at all.
“Oh, they actually noticed it. This man is surprisingly smart. Speaking of which, I seem to have seen this person on the rooftop before.”
Using the scarecrow, Flanders’s gaze fell on Kraang. He was somewhat interested in this Kraang.
The other party had successfully attracted his attention.
“Is it the survivor from that time?”
At this moment, Kraang did not know that he had been targeted.
He and Teach once again returned to the public restroom.
“You’re going to use that magic, right? I’ll help you.”
“I didn’t expect you to know this. I should say that you’re really live up to your reputation.”
Teach also looked at Kraang with some surprise. The other party had stepped into more fields than she had imagined.
