You call this a black hand?

Athena's eyes were indeed sharp. As the two approached, they looked and found that the body in the bushes was indeed the student named Lambert.

His whole body was pale, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible before he died, and his expression was extremely horrifying.

Upon closer inspection, there were no wounds on this man's body, and he seemed to have been frightened to death.

There were no signs of fighting around, so maybe the scene of the discovery was not here at all.

So this supposedly leisurely walk had to be aborted.

The news was notified to the school, and the campus security team came after hearing the news, and immediately sealed off the scene and launched an investigation.

All of them looked solemn.

Some well-informed professors and students followed and arrived nearby to watch. Kevin also heard the noise, and when he saw the body, his face turned pale.

His father Gray also came over, but although his expression was serious, he only glanced briefly and left the scene.

In the busyness, Meren and Athena, the two people who first discovered the body, were asked a few questions, but they were not embarrassed and signaled that they could leave.

"Fort St. Grant has been getting more and more restless lately."

Asina and Meren left the scene and said: "None of the major events that have happened in the past five years are as numerous as what happened in this month."

Although she was complaining, her tone was as if she was chatting.

This girl is not a sympathetic person. When she saw the corpse before, her eyes were like seeing a stone on the roadside. She was a little surprised, but it was only an accident.

Relatively speaking, modern people like Melen actually respect life more. Although many people have been killed intentionally or unintentionally in the past, the death of a relatively familiar classmate still made him a little uncomfortable.

Of course, it was just uncomfortable. Considering that Lambert had always wanted to "whitewash" him into a pure blood, Mellen felt that this man died suddenly and inexplicably, and he might be in some trouble because of it.

Sure enough, as the news of Lambert's death spread, Kevin's incident, which was originally only spread within the college, was immediately promoted to the entire campus and became a hot topic among teachers and students.

The reason for the conflict between Lambert and Kevin has therefore become the focus of discussion.

"Are you really a pureblood, Egg?"

Even Lily, a little girl who lives far away in Graham City, sent a message asking about this matter, which made Mellen, who had finished his course for the day, a little helpless.

"of course not."

He replied: "It's just that some people want to make me a pureblood."

"Because they can't defeat you, they have to win over you?"

"What you said is not accurate, but the principle is similar."

"Then will you become a traitor?"

The little girl who grew up in a mixed-race association has always been hostile to pure-bloods, but on the other hand, she also knew that maintaining a mixed-race identity would not be of any benefit to Meren herself.

"It depends on whether you will pay me back."

Mellen replied.

So the little guy who originally wanted to say something immediately fell silent.

Mellen chuckled at this, feeling very interesting.

Considering the issue of the body of the Holy Spirit, he spent a lot of time chatting with Lily.

At first, due to the identity of the creditor, the other party seemed a bit indifferent. However, Lily who stayed in the mixed-race association was actually very boring. She did not want to pay attention to her peers and felt that she was very childish.

Those who are older than her don't want to talk to her.

So over and over again, Mellen, the eldest child who was willing to pay attention to her, became the object of her daily chat.

However, small talk is small talk, and every time she mentions paying back the money, she disappears instantly, acting like don't ask me for money, I will ignore you if you ask me for money.

But what is different from her past attitude is that this situation will only last for a while. If she can't bear it for long, she will take the initiative to send a message to Meren.

"You're not going to be in trouble, Mellen?"

Alyssa also sent a message.

She is also Mellen's long-term "net friend". Compared with meeting "offline", the two of them chatted much more using the book of secret words.

"It's Felix who's in trouble."

Mellen consoled him: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"But I saw someone in school throwing dirty water on you."

The girl obviously did not let go of her worries, "You said you were a thief and you wanted to catch the thief. After killing Lambert, you took the initiative to report the crime."

"Ignore such rumors."

Mellen didn't care about this, "Only a fool would believe these words."

There is indeed such a rumor in the school, and it is said that this is because Mellen was tired of Lambert always talking about his own bloodline, so he simply killed him after meeting him in the morning. With the authority of the heir, others could not do anything to him.

It actually sounds quite reasonable.

But just as the last paragraph of this rumor says, even if the murderer is really Melen, there is nothing others can do against him.

Firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, even if there is evidence, he cannot be arrested.

But precisely because of this, if there are no clues about the real culprit, everyone's suspicious eyes may really turn to Mellen.

Therefore, those who spread this rumor are not actually doing useless work.

However, the rumormongers obviously do not understand the truth, that is, doing too much often leads to mistakes.

As the heir, Mellen has a function that few others know about, which is that he can set taboo topics within the confines of Fort St. Grant.

He can limit what can and cannot be said.

The effect can be called word-sensitive.

Similar to the sensitive words in his previous life, he can also set the situation after others trigger the sensitive words.

Whether he is "banned", punished, or focused on "attention" is entirely up to Mellen.

He has long ago set all bad words related to himself and those close to him as sensitive words. Everyone living in the school is under supervision, including the principal.

So when the rumor first appeared, Mellen had already searched and found out who the rumor maker was.

Strangely enough, this person turned out to be one of the clones of the gatekeeper Prescott, that is, another Holy Spirit, Jonah.

It was originally a friendly force, but I don't know why it suddenly jumped back.

Therefore, he is currently in the stage of observing the other party and does not act rashly.

…

As the subject of observation, Dryden actually knew that he had attracted the attention of the heir.

But he had expected this.

In other words, his purpose of spreading rumors was not to cause trouble to the heir, but to draw his attention to himself.

The reason is simple - self-help.

As one of the clones of Gatekeeper Prescott, Dryden is trying to find a way to save the missing clone Jonah, but he has no safety to consider.

But besides this identity, he actually has another identity.

That is Alfred, the former Demon King who was imprisoned by his heir.
