Chapter 242 Liyuan Girls' Academy

“Some strange things have been happening at my alma mater, Liyuan Girls’ Academy. The chairperson hopes to find an expert in exorcism to deal with it.”

Upon hearing this, Ryougi Shiki stood up straight.

"So, are you interested?"

Aozaki Touko looked at her with a beaming smile.

"Cut~"

Ryougi Shiki glared at her with a displeased expression.

Aozaki Touko's smile reminded Ryougi Shiki of that bastard who had stolen her prey right in front of her and then put on an innocent smile.

Just thinking about that damn bastard.

Ryougi Shiki's heart skipped a beat! A sense of foreboding rose within her.

Will I be unlucky this time and run into that guy again?

Probably not. The mother fox said Liyuan is an all-girls academy; that guy shouldn't be able to get in...

Ultimately, Ryougi Shiki agreed to Aozaki Touko's suggestion and decided to enter Reien as a transfer student to resolve the incident within the academy.

------

Xu Ming looked around at the ancient school hidden in the mountains and forests.

The predecessor of Liyuan Girls' College was a church school, which was later converted into a girls' college, but most of the rigid doctrines and rules were retained.

One can tell a thing or two from the old-fashioned, dark blue nun-style school uniform.

However, as a prestigious academy that cultivates young ladies, Liyuan is very popular among parents.

After all, wealthy and powerful families need qualified marriage partners, not capable and strong women.

They highly value the Liyuan training model.

As a prestigious academy catering to wealthy and influential families, Liyuan boasts exceptional landscaping, with many buildings separated by trees, making each teaching building resemble an isolated island hidden in the forest.

The building has a classic appearance and looks quite old, with the walls covered in lush green ivy.

Xu Ming finally managed to gain entry into the Liyuan Garden by using that ID to intimidate others.

Xu Ming just felt that the security guard's gaze was very strange, as if he were wary of a pervert who had sneaked into the women's changing room.

Upon entering the Liyuan Garden, Xu Ming immediately frowned slightly.

A strange feeling welled up in my heart. The entire academy was gloomy and oppressive, with a chilling aura that penetrated to the bone.

This is not surprising, as the academy is located in the dense forests of the suburbs, and the students are all young women with only a few male teachers, making the academy predominantly female.

To put it bluntly, the yin energy in Liyuan is heavier than that in ordinary schools, making it more likely to attract those 'dirty things'.

After Xu Ming entered the Liyuan, the female students he encountered along the way all stared at him.

Firstly, Xu Ming is good-looking.

Secondly, apart from faculty and staff, the female students in the academy see no male peers at all.

Fortunately, the students here were mostly polite and well-mannered young ladies. Although they were very curious about Xu Ming's identity, they only stared at him from afar and did not rush forward rashly.

Of course, this is also related to the old woman with glasses next to Xu Ming.

"This is the faculty and staff office building. The chairman's office is upstairs. Please, Investigator." (Xu Ming's rank on his badge was Senior Investigator of the Special Investigations Division of the Ministry of Defense.)

The old woman's attitude was very unfriendly; she deliberately emphasized the words "investigator."

Xu Ming didn't argue with her.

This old woman is the head teacher of Liyuan.

If Xu Ming's impression of the college was that it was rigid, then the dean of students was the most rigid of all.

How could such a rigid, menopausal virgin possibly welcome a bad boy like Xu Ming who disrupts the tranquility of the academy?

"Class is about to start, what are you all still doing here?"

Suddenly, she straightened her face and pointed at the female students not far away, scolding them.

"I'm so sorry!!"

The students seemed terrified of the old director... The head of the teaching department quickly bowed and apologized, then scattered like birds.

"Humph!"

The head of teaching let out a disgruntled snort before leading Xu Ming toward the office building.

After the two left, the female students immediately emerged from the corner and began chattering amongst themselves.

They were clearly very curious about Xu Ming, a handsome man of the same age.

Xu Ming's arrival was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples across the Liyuan Girls' Academy...

Before entering the building, Xu Ming suddenly noticed a strange gaze fixed on him.

He looked up in the direction of his gaze and saw a girl with wine-red hair standing by the window, looking down at him.

Xu Ming smiled slightly at her as a greeting.

Unexpectedly, the girl completely ignored him and simply drew the curtains.

Having been rebuffed, Xu Ming touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

It seems my charm isn't strong enough.

At this point, the head of the teaching department also noticed his unusual behavior.

"Sir, is there a problem?"

Xu Ming pointed to the window where the girl was.

"There was a student watching us from behind that window just now, who was she...?"

The dean of students looked up and followed the direction Xu Ming was pointing at the window, a strange look immediately appearing in his eyes.

"That room is the student council president's office."

She didn't answer Xu Ming's question directly, but simply said something casually.

Xu Ming secretly made a mental note of it.

The person spying on him is very likely the student council president himself, but the dean's strange attitude... it seems this student council president's identity is extraordinary.

The two finally arrived in front of the office building.

Despite being called a building, this old-style building is no more than three stories high.

The dean of students quickly led Xu Ming to the chairman's office at the end of the third floor.

The head of the teaching department stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A gentle voice came from inside the door.

The head of the teaching department pushed open the door and led Xu Ming inside.

In the huge office, a middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle demeanor sat behind a large desk, smiling at the two of them.

The head of the teaching department quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Chairman, the person has been brought."

Upon hearing this, the chairman immediately turned his attention to Xu Ming.

"Are you Xu Ming, the investigator from the Special Division? You are truly young and promising."

He praised it with great emotion.

"You flatter me, Chairman."

Xu Ming smiled faintly; he knew very well how he obtained this document.

"You may call me Huang Lu. As for the strange events that occurred at Liyuan that you mentioned..."

The chairman showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Actually, we're troubled by this, since these strange things can't be resolved even if we report them to the Metropolitan Police Department..."

In short, we will do our utmost to cooperate with your investigation. However, since Rei-en is an all-girls school, there may be some locations that are not convenient for you to directly enter for your investigation. We ask for your understanding.

Xu Ming nodded.

"I understand."

Chairman Huang Lu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Ming was so understanding.

Indeed, as the other party said, this was not only an all-girls school, but also a prestigious one, with most of the students coming from influential backgrounds. Xu Ming also tried his best to avoid trouble.

Both parties agreed that Xu Ming could conduct investigations at any time regarding public facilities such as teaching buildings and faculty and staff buildings, as long as it did not interfere with the normal teaching activities of the school.

However, in private spaces like girls' dormitories, the head of student affairs needs to accompany the investigators during the day to conduct the investigation.

Xu Ming thought the suggestion was reasonable, so he agreed.

The chairman seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke again.

"By the way, Mr. Xu Ming. A student is transferring here today, and she seems to be your colleague."

The chairman glanced at his watch as he spoke.

"She should be here soon."

"Companions?"

Xu Ming couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

dong dong!

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in!"

The chairman quickly said.
