【Nain】To the unknown

God loves the world and also punishes the world.

Slein used to like the dormitory building of the seminary very much. The red brick walls make people feel warm, and the pillars of the gate are carved with angels. They always look down at the returning students tenderly. , he even felt relieved.

But now everything is different.

Slein stepped through the gate of the seminary and walked towards the dormitory at a faster pace.He wanted to change his clothes quickly, and blamed the guy he met in front of the greenhouse, why was he so close to him?His clothes were stained with that person's breath, which made him feel strange, Kaizuka Inaho, this guy is actually his nemesis, right?

Thinking of that expressionless guy, I suddenly felt that the neckline was a bit tight, maybe he was walking too fast?Or wear too much clothes?Why did his body feel a little hot, and Slein took off his coat rudely as he walked, and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, only then did he feel that his breathing was easier.

The seminary students in the corridor stared at him blankly, but Slaine ignored them.The lunch break is coming to an end, so he has to hurry up, otherwise he might not be able to catch up with the afternoon class.

In front of the gate of the dormitory, Hakulet stood with a dignified expression beside the doorpost carved with angels. When he saw Slein, he hurriedly greeted him: "Welcome back, Mr. Slein."

Slein was keenly aware of what was going on, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"The Housemaster Torran has brought someone." Hakulet replied quickly.

Slein's footsteps paused on the stone steps, and he gritted his teeth secretly: "Damn it, you're moving so fast."

"Sorry, we didn't stop him." Hakulet blamed himself very much.

"I can't blame you. In the dormitory, he is the most powerful." He calmed down and glanced at the angel on the doorpost. How could he think they were smiling before?They are clearly lamenting the ugliness and injustice in the world.

"Let's go, hurry up." Slein turned his face away and stopped looking at the two angels.

Hakulet hurriedly followed him, and asked with some concern: "Master Slein, nothing happened today, right?"

Slein was walking quickly up the spiral stairs of the dormitory, and asked without looking back, "Why do you ask that?"

"Just now I saw Lord Slein's face was a little red..." And one of the buttons was undone, which is quite a rare situation, causing him to look at Lord Slein's neck, and almost forgot to report the situation, Hakulet said Couldn't finish, because Slein stopped suddenly.

The dormitory supervisor Torlan, who was privately called "Perverted Watermelon Head" by the dormitory students because he liked corporal punishment, was standing in front of Slein's room, directing the workers to move things out.

"Master Torland, what are you doing?" Slein stepped forward, his voice was a little low, everyone could feel his displeasure, and those who were moving things stopped unconsciously .

Tollan gave him a disdainful look. He never concealed his contempt for Slein. So what if he was the best student in the seminary?So what if he is the adopted son of Dean Zazibarum?In Tollan's eyes, he was still a low-blooded commoner, and such a guy was not worthy of his service.

Torland raised his head proudly. He was supposed to be taller than Slein, which made him feel more superior. He said contemptuously: "There are still many students applying for boarding, we must not let those who die The guy is occupying the seat in vain, and for the benefit of other students, of course, this bed should be vacated as soon as possible. Is there any dissatisfaction with Student Slein?"

As he wished, he saw a frustrating look flashing across Slein's face, and he waved his hand triumphantly: "What are you doing standing there, move quickly! That dead poor brat only has so much, what are you going to move?" when?"

Slein remained silent with a sullen face, so Hakulet asked, "What is Torland's housekeeper going to do with these things?"

"Leave it anywhere, and wait for his family to claim it." Tollan said nonchalantly, he was very happy to see Slein's annoyed look.Dean Zazbarum had specifically instructed him not to let this scandal affect the reputation of the seminary. There might be some unfavorable evidence in the things left by the kid, so they must be recovered first.

So he deliberately picked Slein to move the things away first when he was away. In fact, he didn't need the dean's reminder. He also knew that there were too many relationships involved in this matter, and he must not leak a little bit of it.

After the workers moved out, Tollan checked again to make sure there was nothing left behind. He sneered at the gloomy Slein and walked away.

After Tollan left, the corners of Slein's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled: "Sure enough." He took out a mobile phone from his pocket and said sarcastically, "Who would put the important Leave it for you to search? It's stupid."

"As expected of Mrs. Slein!" Hakulet suppressed his voice, "I deliberately acted like a miscalculation to paralyze the attention of Torran Housekeeper, so that he wouldn't think that Mrs. Slein hid the child's cell phone first. gone."

"It's not 'that kid', Hakulet." Slein said softly, "His name is Blair."

Slaine found it under Blair's mattress after his death.There is a rule in the seminary that students are not allowed to bring mobile phones, but this is only useful for ordinary students with no background. Noble students are dismissive at all. As long as they are not too public, the college will turn a blind eye.

So this mobile phone should belong to a certain student in the academy. I don't know how Blair got it, but there must be some important information in it.Slein lowered his head and focused on looking at the phone. When he found it, the phone was turned off. He turned it on to check, but found that it was turned off immediately after the password was set.

The owner of the mobile phone must also be looking for this mobile phone. There is no guarantee when the call will come. In addition, the signal will also be located. It is the safest way to turn off the phone.At this point, Blair is also quite smart.

He has always been a smart boy, although he is a bit clumsy, but he is really a good boy... Looking at him, Slein would think of his former self.

From Hakulet's point of view, Slein's drooping eyelashes covered those green pupils, and he felt very sorry that he couldn't see the emotions leaking from the pupils.

"In this case, there will be a vacant room in Lord Slein's room. I don't know who will live in." Hakulet asked tentatively. Although it was not appropriate, 68% of the people in the seminary were already ready to move, and the rest About 9% of them hate Slein as much as Tollan or have no feelings, which can be ignored, while the remaining 23% have submitted applications for changing dormitories-he is one of the 23%, and everyone is aiming at this A precious bed.

"This position is not very auspicious, probably no one wants to come." Slein said with a wry smile.

"No, nothing, absolutely." Hakulet said seriously.

"Well, let's see how the academy arranges it." Slein didn't care about this matter, what he thought was that maybe Tolland would arrange for a trustworthy person to monitor him, for which he had to be prepared.He sighed secretly, and jokingly said, "How should I put it, if it's Hakulet, I feel a lot more at ease."

"It's my honor!" Hakulet suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied nonchalantly.He drew the cross on his chest with a serious face, and prayed devoutly: God, please let me be this lucky one!This is Hakulet's lifelong request!

When Inaho returned home, he found that someone had already come back one step ahead of him. His sister who worked in the police station always came home late on weekdays, so Inaho was also a little surprised when he saw the living room with lights on. What surprised him even more was that it was full of After reading the files and documents on the coffee table and sofa in the living room, her sister Jie Zhongxue lay on her stomach, with her face pressed against the glass top of the coffee table, looking exhausted.

"I am back."

"Welcome back, Mr. Nai..." Jie Zhongxue said weakly, and then widened her eyes, "Oh, are those roses? You actually received flowers!" She hadn't confiscated the flowers yet, and she was ahead of her younger brother up!

"It was given by someone else." Inafan said, although that "other person" would never agree with him.

Inaho put away the shopping bags from the supermarket, first took a vase to raise the blue roses, then put on the apron skillfully, and started preparing dinner.Inaho moved quickly, and after a while, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

"Yeah, Mr. Nai is so considerate! I'm so hungry that I can't think, and I can only work when I'm full!" Jie Zhongxue jumped up and ran into the kitchen.

"No, after a full meal, the digestive system will be concentrated in order to digest the blood and reduce the oxygen supply to the brain, so people will feel sleepy after a full meal, which is not conducive to thinking." Inaho said quickly and knocked out her sister who was trying to get out of the pot. The hand that picked up the beef, then handed her the chopsticks, "It's very hot."

"Wow!" Jie Zhongxue didn't care what he said, she chewed the beef happily and thanked inarticulately.

"It's rare to bring work home."

"Because it is inconvenient to read the information in the police station, the chief took a lot of tricks to get it out of the file room. Ju Hu and I took a part of it home to read, and we would be found if we read it in the police station." Jie Zhong After swallowing the beef, Snow said, "Mr. Nai, have you heard the name Slein Zazbarum Troyet?"

Inaho turned around and looked at her sister, Jie Zukayuki propped her chin and looked at him thoughtfully.

"Do you want to collect evidence from the deceased's classmates, Police Officer Jiezuka?"

"That's right, so please don't hide anything from my sister." Jie Zhongxue said with a smile, but after a while, she suppressed her joking expression, "We made an investigation request to the seminary, but it was rejected, very Simply put, even with the repeated request of the director, we are only allowed to take statements from the students in the same dormitory as the deceased, but that boy was very difficult to deal with, and refused to disclose any useful information. It looks like it's coming."

"Well, he is difficult to deal with." Inaho said, and brought the prepared dinner to the table.

Jie Zhongxue was stunned: "It's rare to hear Mr. Nai speak so highly of someone! Then it's troublesome. It's not easy to break through from him after hearing you say that."

Inafan said helplessly: "This is a matter of work, is it okay for you to talk so much with the students at the same school as the deceased?"

"It doesn't matter, this is not a formal investigation." Jie Zhongxue said with a wry smile, "There is more pressure from above to close the case with suicide immediately, and the director can't do anything about it, but she agrees to let Juhu and I investigate in private. If homicide is suspected , she will be able to propose a new investigation. And the director also agrees with your ability, Mr. Nai."

The full name of the chief in Jiezuka Xue's mouth is Darzana Mark Barreji. As a woman, she once served as a naval colonel and is now the chief of the police department. She is famous for her outstanding ability and resolute attitude.

"Thank you, but I just provided some suggestions." Inafan didn't care much, "Is this case important? Miss Selam also came to me today."

When dinner was ready, the siblings sat together and ate and talked.

"It would be great if Miss Selam could provide us with some help, but I don't think she will know too much. Their failure to cooperate with the investigation will only make me feel more suspicious, and they are definitely hiding something." Jie Zhongxue and her Gobbled up the opposite gesture, analyzed slowly, "Do you remember Dr. Yeherai? He is a friend of Juhu, who works in the forensic department. He performed the autopsy on the dead child. He said he went to the autopsy The corpse was obviously cleaned when he was in the room. He investigated the internal information. In the past year, there have been many incidents where students were injured and sent to the hospital for examination. However, all records disappeared from the files afterwards, but I think... that It's not the first time that a child has been raped in a seminary."

Jie Zhongxue was really sad. That boy was so young, but he suffered a terrible torture. When she looked at the autopsy report, she couldn't believe that anyone in the world could do such a cruel thing. This made her angry. Sad again.

"Those people are so hateful... No, they are beasts!" Her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly because of anger.

"Please tell Director Darzana, I will help. By the way, sister Xue, if I want to board at school, can you solve the dinner yourself?"

"Eh?" Jie Zhongxue raised his head suddenly, but saw his younger brother looking thoughtfully at the bottle of blue roses in full bloom.

On the third day after Blair's death, at [-]:[-] in the morning, Slein woke up from the nightmare on time. He was gasping for breath, unable to distinguish between reality and dream for a while.Because the scene of the nightmare was also in this room, the broken Blair lay next to him, the mattress was soaked red with blood, and the angelic boy was like a devil, uttering poisonous words in his ear.

——Why didn't you save me, Senior Slein?

——Why have you never noticed my pain, Senior Slein?

—You are like them all, beasts and ugly monsters.

Every time I wake up, I can't fall asleep anymore, and I dare not sleep.The other bed in the room was empty, and the moonlight fell on it, which was as cold as an autopsy table, and only corpses would sleep on it.Slein lifted the quilt and got off his bed. His pajamas were drenched with cold sweat. The fabric was close to the curves of his body, and the butterfly bones on his back were completely visible.

Slein lay on that cold bed, letting the moonlight shine on his pale face, Slein thought, in fact, he was also a dead person, and the dead man was called Slein Troyet.

The cross was thrown on the bedside table by him. In fact, he never believed in God, and he only entered the seminary in accordance with the wishes of his adoptive father Zazibarum.In fact, I envy Inaho Kaizuka very much, because he always does what he wants to do, and no one can see what he is thinking with his expressionless face. The ultimate elegance that is close to whatever you want.

That's why I can't help but pay attention to him.

Thinking of that person makes my body feel a little hot, maybe the weather is a little abnormal, because the storm is coming soon.

Under the moonlight, the transparent emerald eyes suddenly darkened. The sea is always calm when the most terrifying disaster is brewing, and the tumbling waves are all buried under the calm water surface.

On Sunday morning, there were not many people in the seminary, and the cafeteria was still full of students who came to eat breakfast, discussing a notice on the bulletin board: In order to hope that ordinary students and seminary students can communicate in a friendly manner, Please pay attention to the important measures that the college will make in the near future.There is a bright red official seal printed on it, and the signature is: Aesiram? Wasser? Eliosia.

"Miss Atheilam, what does this mean?" Student A asked.

"Who wants to associate with those inferior races!" Student B said angrily.

"Master Slein, what do you think?" Hakulet asked.As a matter of course, he occupied the position next to Slein. Today, Mr. Slein is also impeccable. The appearance of him sipping black tea with his head down is the No. 1 beauty of breakfast in the Seminary. Everyone often wants to grab the best seat. And desperately get up early.

"Miss Esther Elam is a very independent woman, no matter what she decides, I will support her." Slein said indifferently, he gently put the cup back into the saucer, and the sound of high-grade bone china colliding was crisp Ruo Yinling, he raised his head and looked around the audience, and said with a faint smile: "Today the archbishop will preside over the mass, everyone should prepare as soon as possible."

Archbishop Paul Wenderson, a senior clergyman directly appointed by the Vatican, is a decent man in his 50s. He has outstanding knowledge, both virtue and talent. He is highly valued by the Vatican. He manages several dioceses and is very likely to be promoted As the next cardinal, he has an extraordinary status. He is also a good friend of the Wasser family and is often invited to attend important events of the college.

The cathedral, where mass is held every Sunday, is the most magnificent building in the college. It is a genuine ancient cultural relic with a long history. The two sides of the main hall are supported by hundreds of pillars with exquisite carvings. Each frame is decorated with exquisite and intricate carvings. The high windows on both sides still use the early stained glass collages, depicting the story of God spreading miracles in the Bible.

"Let us bless the souls that have passed away." The archbishop's homily ended with these words, and everyone knew exactly what it was referring to.

The students of the Seminary are gathered here at the moment, Dean Zazbarum, Bishop Kuruto, and Torlan are also here.Sunlight falls into this magnificent hall through the large rose window on the main entrance of the cathedral and the stained glass on both sides, as if the ground is full of bright gems.

Slein was chosen to be the deacon who distributed the sacrament after the Mass. He stood on the altar in a white robe, covered with lights, dignified and holy, and those who took the unleavened bread from him were all excited. trembling.When Tollan came to the front with a stinky face, Slein asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did you find what you wanted?"

Torlan raised his head sharply, and accurately caught the sly gaze in those blue eyes. The young man whispered in his ear in a mocking tone: "You can't find it."

"You...!" Torlan gritted his teeth and stared at Slein. He wanted to say something, but the next person to receive the communion had already picked him up. As he walked forward, he turned his head frequently, but Slein didn't look at it again. He glanced.

After the mass, Slein changed his gown in the side hall and handed it to Hakulet.There was the sound of Torlan's angry footsteps outside the main hall. He was looking for Slaine everywhere, but he didn't dare to be too blatant, and finally left without finding anything.

Seeing a few students being pushed away by Torlan because they were walking slowly, Hakulet asked worriedly: "Master Slein, Torlan's dormitory is very angry. I am very worried about your safety. How about doing it tonight?" Let me be in your room..."

"No need." Slein said decisively, "The more angry a person is, the easier it is to lose judgment, which is more beneficial to me."

"But..." Hakulet wanted to say something, but Slein had already strode away. His back was so slender, but he had the chill of a swordsman.

The sky, which was clear just now, is now piled up with dark clouds, dark thunder is rolling, and heavy rain is approaching.

The heavy rain came as expected at night, the raindrops and the strong wind hit the glass, and even the window frame shook slightly. This rain was violent, but it also swept away the sweltering heat of the past few days, making it very suitable for sleeping.Torlan tiptoed to Slein's room at three o'clock in the morning, when everyone was sleeping most soundly.

He opened the door with the spare key and sneaked in. As the administrator of the dormitory, it couldn't be easier.Torland carefully rummaged through the things in the room. He didn't know what he was looking for, but Slein must have hidden something if he dared to protest with him today. Is it because you are underestimating him by showing off your might...

"Did you find anything?" Slein's voice asked from behind him. Tollan was taken aback. He turned his head and saw that Slein was leaning against the wall with his arms folded. He didn't know how long he had been looking there. A drop of cold sweat slid down.

Slein's tone seemed to be asking an invited guest if he would like something to drink. He was obviously not surprised by Torland's arrival. The lights in the room were not turned on, and the jumping lightning covered his fair face cold cold light.

"May I interpret this as 'burglary'? It's not good to guard yourself, it's a serious violation, Warden Torland."

Tollan knew he had been fooled, that he had fallen completely into Slaine's trap, that the morning's provocation was a bait, and he wanted him to fall into the trap.

"Damn it!" Tollan spat, he was always proud, but at this moment he couldn't help stepping back under Slein's gaze.He bumped into the desk behind him, and the books stacked on it fell to the ground in a crash, such as "Encyclopedia of Plants", "Purification Experiment", "History of Poisons"...

Taking advantage of the moment when Slay was distracted, Tollan rushed out the door, but when he was holding the doorknob, he felt his finger pricked.

"Does it hurt?" Slein asked lightly, "Soon you will feel palpitations, nausea, and difficulty breathing."

Torland was dizzy for a while, but he still gritted his teeth and pushed open the door. He only wanted to run away quickly, but he leaned on the wall and moved a few steps in the corridor, but he still slipped slowly. He was conscious, The severe pain all over his body made him speechless.

"There is a needle hidden in the doorknob, and the needle is coated with the venom extracted from the root of aconitum." Slein said slowly, and he approached the distorted Tolland, "I have an emetic here, take it in time You can still save your life. There are cameras in the room, and everything just happened has been filmed. Let's have a fair deal. You tell me everything you know. Who ordered you? Blair's death Who is it related to? Who are you protecting?"

Tolland picked the timing really well. There was no one in the corridor, the carpet absorbed the sound of footsteps, and the heavy wind and rain outside covered up Tolland's painful groans. He felt that Slein in front of him was very strange. Because he was just a brat with a humble background and no knowledge of the sky and the earth, he never expected to see such a cold expression on Slein's face.

"Yes... yes..." Torlan hesitated, the name came to his lips, but he still didn't dare to say it, he would not end well if he said it, he might as well run away from here, the toxicity of aconitine is immediately onset, But he didn't die immediately. Presumably Slein gave him time to confess, but he also gave him a chance to escape.

Torlan struggled to get up, stumbled and ran forward. Slein didn't expect him to be struggling to this point, so he hurriedly followed.The toxin paralyzed Torran's nerves, he lost his sense of direction and distance, he didn't know that he had reached the edge of the stairs, he stepped on the ground and fell down, the gorgeous and elegant spiral staircase has now become a gateway to death Scary stairs.

Slein was one step too late, and he watched his body roll all the way on the stairs. The thunder covered all the sounds. When Tollan's body finally stopped, his neck was tilted to one side, and the neck bone had been broken.Slein no longer looked at the corpse, turned back to his room, and the moment he closed the door, he slowly slid on the ground leaning against the door, and buried his face between his knees.

He took out the amulet left to him by his biological father from under his clothes and held it tightly. Slein hoped that this would help him slow down the violent shaking of his body. In the morning, he would appear in front of everyone as if nothing had happened.

He uses this to always remind himself that he can no longer be a weak person.
