Chapter 1595

"Oh, Charlotte, you're also here?"

Felix grinned at Charlotte.

"I thought you didn't care about trivial matters like this case?"

"I-It was noisy so I came to check things out."

Charlotte averted her gaze, unlike her usual self."

"Cannibal Candy is a ruthless killer, I might be targeted as well."

"With your power? I don't think Cannibal Candy would be after you."

Felix smiled.

"Well, even if Cannibal Candy strikes, I will do my best to protect you."

"I Don't need you to do that!"

Charlotte panicked like a tsundere.

"I am not so weak as to need protection from another person!"

"Cold."

Felix shrugged before turning to look at Wu Yan.

"Well, I don't see why I need to move. I mean, you already have someone who can take on Magnus by your side."

"N-No, it's not like that!"

Charlotte bashfully denied it.

"I-I am not like that with him."

"Oh, you sound like you protest too much for that to be not the case though?"

Wu Yan glanced at her.

"Plus, I trained you so much and you gave you a hand in so many matters, surely this is a bit too cold, right?"

"N-No, I mean it's not..."

She shifted the topic to the presence of Felix.

"Why are you here?"

"Me?"

Felix smiled.

"I am here to ask you out on a date."

"What?!"

Charlotte blushed before she stuttered a refusal.

"I-I refuse!"

"Come on, I asked you out so many times, why don't you rethink it?"

Felix sighed.

"Alright, forget it, I need to finish my job."

Felix beamed at Wu Yan.

"Your hypothesis was helpful, mind giving us a helping hand?"

Wu Yan pursed his lips. He looked at Raishin.

"Raishin over there can help you, right?"

"Eh?"

Raishin took a step back.

"You know I made a deal with Felix?"

"A deal?"

Charlotte looked at him.

"What kind of deal?"

"It's nothing..."

"Felix said that if I can beat Cannibal Candy, I can join the Night Party."

"The night Party?"

Wu Yan smiled.

"I didn't think the discipline committee had so much power, to have the authority to choose who can join the Night Party?"

"There is another committee for that but the Discipline Committee can make recommendations."

Felix explained.

"Plus, Cannibal Candy is a serial killer, anyone who can deal with such a capable killer should be on par with the Thirteen strongest."

"Even without my recommendation, the Night Party Committee will definitely recognize Raishin's ability and give him the privilege to join."

Felix slapped Raishin's shoulder.

"I am just doing what I can to ensure those who are worthy are spotted. If Mr. Wu Yan can help us then it would surely help Raishin greatly. I, for one, would be glad to see that."

Everyone looked at Wu Yan. He was grinning with sarcasm.

"Looks like you don't like me."

He said much to everyone's shock.

"What do you mean?"

Felix shook his head.

"I didn't mean to put you on the spot."

"Then, why do you want me to search for the Cannibal Candy?"

He sneered.

"Are you trying to force me into a corner?"

"Forcing you into a corner?"

Charlotte, Raishin, Yaya, and the other students couldn't fathom the reason behind this.

Felix frowned.

"There is a misunderstanding here. I mean you're powerful enough that Cannibal Candy shouldn't pose a threat."

"Yeah?"

Wu Yan continued.

"Did the school ever find the missing students?"

"The school never stopped looking for them."

Felix sternly said.

"The teachers, security, and discipline committee always searched for them but they came up with nothing."

"Then, it is clear."

Wu Yan sighed.

"Cannibal Candy's victims disappeared."

"The Cannibal Candy is good at covering tracks, the Puppeteers must have been kidnapped or worse..."

Wu Yan looked at Felix.

"Disposing a body is a messy work. You could make shallow graves that are easy to find, dissecting would leave bloody trails and other clues. Most murders screw up the body disposal."

"Yes..."

Felix knitted his brows.

"Why did you say I am forcing you into a corner?"

"You still don't get it?"

He explained.

"Cannibal Candy is so good at covering tracks that it makes one wonder whether or not that killer is an individual of this Academy."

"Yes..."

He calmly implied.

"That person must be someone who has status, power, authority, and knows how to pull strings behind the scenes..."

"It can be someone from the security team, the school faculty, or... even..."

"The Disciplinary Committee..."

Charlotte and Raishin looked at Felix instantly.

Felix stored his smile away. He just stared at Wu Yan wordlessly.

He had a point.

With so many missing persons, it's a wonder that the school hadn't a single clue on where to find the victims.

If an insider is sabotaging the effort then this is to be expected.

"Granted, I don't have evidence yet."

Wu Yan turned around with a knowing smile.

"Sniffing around after knowing this would most likely make me a target for disposal by the school, the security, or the Disciplinary Committee, right?"

"Personally, I don't give a damn."

Wu Yan walked away with his ladies behind him. The heavy mood he left behind turned the crowd into a whispering conspiracy group.

The days to come will not be peaceful.
