Capítulo 2065: Chapter 1391: Five Swords
After returning ho, Shajuye called ijia, and the latter breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Duanmu Huai was coming to the school to investigate.
“Ah, is Mr. Duanmu coming? That’s great. Actually, everyone has been quite uneasy during this period……”
“Uneasy?”
“Yes, after all, it’s rare for students to leave the dormitory and go missing, and because of the Lord of the Five Swords’ order, everyone is not allowed to talk about it, so……”
“What is the Five Swords?”
“It’s like this……”
According to ijia, when the school was first established, the prevailing attitude was very resistant to letting girls go to school. It was thought that girls shouldn’t show themselves, and so people even tried to invade the female dormitories and intimidate those female students. Later, to protect the female students in the dormitory, five girls from the Wujia family ca together to form a self-defense organization, also known as the Five Swords.
Qianyuan Dormitory does not have a dormitory manager, but is uniformly managed by the Five Swords. When they graduate, they pass on their duties and mission to their chosen successors, and thus it has been passed down through generations, and the Five Swords have beco a tradition of Qianyuan Dormitory.
Basically, the Five Swords are selected from the sports clubs’ representatives, and they all carry real swords. Since the school is a private place, it does not violate any sword-carrying laws. There have been people with ill intentions wanting to sneak into Qianyuan Dormitory before, but they were discovered by the Five Swords and caught or injured.
Because of this, the disappearance of students this ti is a real disgrace to the Five Swords, resulting in a rather oppressive regi in Qianyuan Dormitory, where no one is allowed to leave without permission. This makes the residents quite anxious.
“I’ve been thinking, if things continue like this, we might just have to ask Mr. Duanmu for help……”
“Anxious? Is there anything else happening besides the missing students?”
Simple disappearances usually only beco gossip among students, but don’t necessarily cause anxiety. Strengthening dormitory checks due to people sneaking out doesn’t seem too outrageous to Duanmu Huai. In the past, teachers would catch students sneaking over fences to internet cafes, what’s the big deal? Or maybe these spoiled young ladies can’t take such restrictions?
“Hmm……”
Facing Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, ijia was silent for a few monts over the phone.
“……Recently, the school seems like it’s……haunted……”
“……Huh?”
“Many students have heard it, at night, coming from the forest……a creepy, terrifying laugh……I’ve heard it several tis myself, it’s really scary……”
“Hasn’t anyone investigated it?”
“We’ve reported it to the Lord of the Five Swords, but they say it’s just the sound of the wind and told us not to spread rumors……but I’ve lived here for two years, it’s the first ti I’ve heard such a sound……”
“……”
Ghosts don’t really fall under my responsibility.
“I understand, I’ll conduct an investigation then, but speaking of which……doesn’t the Five Swords have nothing to do with ?”
“Uh……because the Lord of the Five Swords is the Guardian of the dormitory, and this is a female dormitory, so n aren’t allowed to enter……”
“? But I’m a teacher?”
“Teachers are the sa, only female teachers are allowed to enter Qianyuan Dormitory……”
“???”
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Huai was bewildered, and he understood why the principal said the situation over there was a bit complicated.
“What about the police? Do they dare to control them too?”
“Of course not, but……Mr. Duanmu, you’re not the police.”
“……True.”
Duanmu Huai scratched his head.
Never mind, I’m curious to see what interest there is in a bunch of girls playing house.
The principal acted quickly, announcing to everyone at the morning assembly the next day that Duanmu Huai would temporarily serve as the physical education teacher. As a Detective, Duanmu Huai had appeared on TV many tis and was fairly well-known, so the students quickly accepted the principal’s statent.
Otherwise, given how fierce Duanmu Huai looked, students would have been scared and protested already.
And after taking office, Duanmu Huai naturally began his investigation.
First and foremost, let’s check the rooms of the two missing girls.
Physical education teachers are always the least busy, so after wandering around the school for a while, Duanmu Huai headed straight to Qianyuan Dormitory.
Qianyuan Dormitory was located on the east side of the main school building, connected by a corridor. Beside it was a small forest, which Duanmu Huai thought wasn’t large, and the whole area was enclosed by the school’s walls, so logically, unless the student was ntally challenged, it shouldn’t be possible to get lost in there.
After all, at its core, this was just a man-made forest, and the trees weren’t dense. At least Duanmu Huai could clearly see the wall opposite the forest from the corridor. So the idea of soone getting lost in this forest seed utterly ridiculous to Duanmu Huai.
And across the corridor was Qianyuan Dormitory—a girls’ dormitory that looked about the sa size as the main school building.
Logically, Duanmu Huai should just walk up the stairs and enter the girls’ dormitory.
However……it wasn’t that simple right now.
At the end of the stairs stood three girls, led by a masked girl with black hair, next to her stood a foreign girl with curly hair, and a petite girl who looked like a middle schooler. All three had swords at their waists, was this so kind of animated scene?
