The chapel was located in the center of the chapel, and nuns often led Christian students in celebrating Mass there.

However, that chapel is very old, with an architectural style from decades ago. It has very poor lighting; even in broad daylight, it is as dark as a cave, and at night, without the lights on, it is pitch black.

"The church holds its sacred rites and Masses in that chapel every year."

If we're talking about secrecy, it must be inside that chapel.

By the way, school rules state that entry to the chapel must be during the day and accompanied by a nun; students are prohibited from lingering in the chapel after sunset.

"Thank you, this information is very useful, Dr. Karen."

Xu Ming's expression softened.

"Fine, you heartless bastard. You only remember me when you need something from me."

While uttering suggestive and potentially offensive words, Karen casually played with the ends of her hair.

Cough!

Xu Ming was so choked by her that he coughed twice.

After a short delay, Xu Ming got up and left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door to the infirmary was opened, Karen suddenly spoke again.

"Let me tell you another piece of news."

"The fire that broke out in Class D of the first year of high school actually had survivors..."

Xu Ming suddenly turned around and stared intently at Karen.

Karen's face instantly broke into a cunning smile like a vixen, an expression that clearly said, 'Beg me, and I'll tell you.'

Xu Ming frowned.

Karen didn't say anything, but calmly picked up her teacup and took small sips.

Xu Ming pondered for a moment, and then a name suddenly slipped out of his mouth.

"Hideo Hayama...he's still alive!"

puff!

Karen's eyes widened suddenly, staring at him in disbelief.

"You, how... how did you guess that!?"

Karen's exaggerated reaction immediately convinced Xu Ming of his guess.

"It sure is him!"

Only if he, the main culprit, escaped by sheer luck can Huang Lu Meisaya's various strange behaviors be explained.

For Misaya Hiiro, Reien was a place of sorrow, where her best friend was brutally murdered and she herself had become a hidden murderer.

Normally, after she has completely avenged herself, she would subconsciously try to escape and leave Liyuan, this place of sorrow.

However, Huang Lu Meisaya stayed in Liyuan all night.

This can only mean one thing: the fire of revenge in her heart is still burning fiercely.

She has yet to kill the enemy she hates most, the culprit behind all the tragedies in Class 1D of the first year of high school—Hero Hayama!

"Alright, since you've already guessed it, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Karen put down her teacup with a helpless expression.

There were two survivors of that fire: Hitomi Yoshida and Hideo Hayama.

According to Yoshida Hitomi's subsequent statement, she was delayed by something and arrived a step too late, thus escaping unharmed. After investigation, the police cleared Yoshida Hitomi of suspicion. Yoshida Hitomi then transferred to another school and left Reien.

As for Hideo Hayama, he disappeared after the incident, and his body was not found at the scene. Police suspect that he fled to avoid being exposed for his crimes.

However, I think he's hiding because he's afraid of retaliation from the families of the students in Class D of the first year of high school.

After all, those students' parents are powerful figures who can put pressure on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Xu Ming stroked his chin, lost in thought.

I never imagined that the fire back then had such a hidden secret.

only……

Xu Ming glanced at Karen.

Karen clearly knew everything, but she deliberately didn't tell him, probably just to enjoy his confused and conflicted expression.

This woman has a terrible temper!

Xu Ming cursed inwardly.

Having gained an unexpected advantage, Xu Ming hurriedly left the infirmary.

Karen was left with a disgruntled expression, muttering complaints under her breath.

"Tch~ What a heartless guy."

Time flies, and before we know it, the sun has set.

Night once again drew a black curtain over Liyuan Girls' Academy.

Tonight, large swaths of dark clouds drifted across the sky, intermittently obscuring the moonlight, making the entire Liyuan Garden even darker and more eerie.

Although the case was closed, no trainees lingered outside until night.

After nightfall, there was hardly anyone to be seen outside the entire college.

But just then, a figure sneaked into the Li Garden.

The dark clouds suddenly parted, and a beam of moonlight shone down, illuminating the figure.

Mini skirt, white shirt with only two or three buttons fastened, revealing large areas of skin, bubble socks, purple eyeshadow, light blonde hair, and deliberately tanned wheat skin...

Surprisingly, she was a Shibuya-style gyaru (gal) who seemed completely out of place with the solemn and dignified atmosphere of Reien Garden.

This hot girl walked cautiously through the campus like a thief, glancing around at the slightest sound, as if afraid of being discovered.

Soon after, she arrived at her destination, the charred old school building!

call!

Gusts of wind blew into the charred school building, lingering within the complex structure and emitting strange whistling sounds, as if someone was hiding in a corner and wailing.

A faint, acrid smell permeated the air, and as midnight approached, the smell seemed to grow stronger.

A hint of disgust flashed across the hot girl's face. She took out a tissue from her handbag, covered her mouth and nose, and then swaggered into the teaching building, heading straight for Class 1D.

When her figure disappeared down the corridor.

A disheveled head peeked out from around the corner; a figure in a white dress, her face obscured by her hair, inexplicably appeared in the corridor mirror; a nun shrouded in black gauze floated in mid-air.

They all stared blankly in the direction of Class 1-D...

Chapter 257 Victims and Perpetrators

"You bastard, where are you? Get out here!"

As soon as the hot girl entered the classroom, she immediately started cursing angrily.

Tonight, she had arranged to go to a bar with some handsome guys from her girlfriends. She had even planned to hook up with one of them and go to a hotel with him.

Unexpectedly, before she set off, an unfamiliar account sent her an email with attachments.

Once she opened it, she immediately lost her desire to play.

The attachments were none other than records of her aid transaction from a year ago when she was in Class D of the first year of Reien High School, as well as harmonious photos of her and Hayama Hideo.

This email was like a knife, instantly reopening her wounds and revealing a past she didn't want to recall.

She felt an overwhelming rage, as if her secrets had been completely exposed to the light of day.

Enraged, she made up her mind to teach the person who dared to threaten her a lesson.

"Good night, Hitomi Yoshida."

A cool, clear voice sounded behind her.

Hitomi Yoshida turned around instantly.

A figure dressed in the uniform of the Liyuan Nuns appeared silently behind her.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, falling perfectly on that slender figure, as if draping her in a shimmering, translucent white veil, evoking a sense of sacredness that made one feel ashamed of their own insignificance.

Hitomi Yoshida's pupils contracted slightly in an instant.

"So it was you!?"

"Huang Lumeisha, what do you want from me?"

Misaya Huanglu looked her up and down before saying calmly:

"Has Yoshida-san already forgotten all the etiquette she learned at the Reien Academy after only being away for a year?"

Misaya Huanglu's expression remained unchanged, but Hitomi Yoshida felt that those indifferent eyes were incredibly piercing, as if they were looking down on her from the clouds, making her feel extremely lowly.

"Senior Huang Lu, did you invite me to this godforsaken place so late at night just to teach me a lesson?"

Hitomi Yoshida couldn't help but said in a strange manner.

“I’m not your mother, and I have no interest in educating you.”

Misaya Huanglu gave a nonchalant reply, which infuriated Hitomi Yoshida.

"You, hmph! No wonder you're a young lady who's been raised with aristocratic education."

"So, could the 'well-mannered' Miss Huang Lu please return those private photos to me?"

"I said through gritted teeth," Yoshida Hitomi said.

“I refused; I have already given those photos to the newspaper reporter.”

"Misaya Kōji! Don't go too far! Our Yoshida family isn't afraid of your Kōji family! If this escalates, it'll be a lose-lose situation for everyone!"

Yoshida Hitomi instantly became furious and shouted.

Hehe~

To everyone's surprise, Huang Lu Meisha suddenly chuckled.
