It was another prank by the Green Star Stone, and it was discovered again.

Youzhu shook her head helplessly.

This guy really enjoys bullying Hinamei.

"Youzhu~" Hinami rushed over with tears in her eyes, holding Youzhu's calves tightly with both hands.

"It's okay, I'll let the Green Star Stone compensate you." Youzhu slowly squatted down, touched Hinami's short golden hair, and whispered to comfort her.

She touched the top of Hinamichi's hair and glanced at the Verdurous Star Stone.

Cui Xingshi immediately raised the wallet in his hand and handed it to Youzhu.

This skillful movement makes people feel distressed, and the one who feels distressed is of course Hinamichi.

"I'll take you back later. Fulei was captured by her brother for something."

Hinami sat in Youzhu's arms and nodded obediently.

There have been more and more attacks on campus in recent times, and now puppets are only allowed to go out in pairs.

"I'll be back later. I need to go to the villa."

After Yuzu briefly checked the barrier in the room, she took the wallet containing the Turquoise Star Stone and walked out.

The puppets nodded. Youzhu would go back to the villa from time to time. They used to follow her back, but now they are too lazy to run around.

We will come back anyway.

......

The sun shone warmly on the path in the campus. A black-haired girl walked on it with light steps, and a small doll with long light yellow hair sat in her arms.

After going out and meeting up with Xuehua Qijing and others outside, Hinami was pushed out of Youzhu's arms by her.

"Master, master, look over there." Xuehua Qijing shook her head happily and suddenly pointed to the grove on the side.

Many students gathered in the woods, seemingly discussing something.

"Hey, this is the fourth one already."

"Yeah, it's only been two months since school started, and there have already been four cases of Automata being destroyed."

Looking through the trees, a humanoid automaton fell to the ground, and students gathered around it, as if it were a murder scene.

Youzhu narrowed his eyes and stared at the doll lying on the ground.

His eyes swept across the scattered parts around, then paused on the wound on the doll's chest.

As the wound marks came into Youzhu's sight, she stopped.

That wound...

“…Go and take a look.”

He took another step forward and headed towards the grove by the roadside.

It seems that due to the previous encounter with Magnus, Yuzu also has the ability to clear the field similar to Magnus.

The students who saw her coming all made way for her.

As his shoes stepped on the soft soil, he ignored the stares of the students around him and slowly stopped in front of the doll.

The fragrance of grass and soil soothed the girl's nerves, but combined with the hideous scene before her, it also brought a touch of weirdness.

This wound looks just...

Youzhu looked at the doll lying on the ground and couldn't help but frown.

The upper and lower halves of the doll were scattered on the ground at some distance.

The inside of the abdominal cavity can be seen from the fracture. Since the structure inside is quite delicate, it gives people a feeling of peeking into the human body.

Gears, wires and other parts were scattered around, and blood-like substances were splattered everywhere, as if they had been eaten by a wild beast.

The most eye-catching thing is the strange wound.

The area where the heart (magic circuit) should have been was hollowed out, leaving only a circular hole.

The heart (magic circuit) that should have been inside was missing, and the surface of the wound was extremely smooth, like candy that had been licked until it melted.

...The marks on the wound were exactly the same as those caused by Xia Lu's 'magic sword'.

Chapter 53: Cannibal Candy

Youzhu stood in front of the corpse, staring at the scar on its chest.

Earlier, during a friendly exchange in the N Realm, the 'Demon Sword' pierced through the black feathers of the Mercury Lamp.

The traces left at that time cannot be said to be completely identical to the ones we see now, but they can be said to be very similar.

They were all scars that looked like candies that had been licked and melted.

Youzhu slowly squatted in front of the corpse, preparing to observe it more carefully.

Seeing that Youzhu was about to get closer, Hinami, who was originally holding her calf, trembled and hid behind Yueling Marrow Liquid. Xuehua Qijing in her arms also turned her head away in disgust.

For them, as puppets, this situation is no different from humans witnessing a murder scene.

This doll...is not a doll of a party participant.

The information Xia Lu collected has been shared with Youzhu. She has more or less some impression of the dolls of the night party participants.

But the one in front of him had no impression at all.

When the night party was about to begin, the puppets that were attacked were not the participants?

Youzhu stroked his smooth chin, pondering the murderer's motive.

"The dragon is coming."

The sound of the mercury lamp brought her back to her senses.

The sound of dragon wings flapping echoed in the air, and Sigmund was flying from afar, flapping his wings.

Below him, the blonde girl walked towards him quickly with a relaxed smile on her face.

She and Youzhu have different class schedules, and they only get together when they don't have classes.

Xia Lu stopped in front of Youzhu, but before she could say hello, the ferocious scene next to her attracted her attention.

"This is..." The smile on her face just now instantly turned into displeasure. For Xia Lu, who regarded the automaton as her family, this scene was bound to make her disgusted.

She caught Sigmund steadily and asked softly, "What's going on now?"

"I just got here too."

Da da da.

Before the girls could exchange a few words, the sound of numerous footsteps was heard.

Many students came running with gold-rimmed armbands on their left arms, which were their certificates of being members of the Discipline Committee.

The discipline committee members dispersed the students surrounding the scene and set up a cordon.

As they arrived, a voice sounded beside Youzhu.

"Hi, Xia Lu... Charlotte-san, Yuzu-san." Felix walked out from the discipline committee, and there was still no sign of his automatic dolls around.

He put on his usual kind smile and stood in front of the girls. "Long time no see, both of you."

Youzhu lowered her eyelids and did not respond.

Xia Lu nodded perfunctorily, then looked at the corpse of the doll with some disgust. "What's going on over there?"

Felix was stunned and looked back "Ah...it's only been two months since school started and this is the fourth one already."

His eyes were fixed on the corpse beside him, and his slightly furrowed brows seemed to be condemning the murderer's brutality.

"In the past, such incidents rarely occurred in a semester."

"The Automata are the property of the Puppet Master. Even if they no longer need them, they can be sold. There is no reason to destroy them."

He shook his head, his tone very sad, "I'm afraid that classmate also..."

At this time, an intellectual girl with shoulder-length hair and glasses came over. The badge on her arm indicated that she was also a member of the Discipline Committee.

She leaned forward and whispered a report in Felix's ear.

As she reported, Felix's eyes gradually became sharper. "Thank you, Liz. Sure enough, the scars are the same as the previous three cases..."

He turned back to look at the girls and said, "Ladies, please be careful recently. There may be an indiscriminate attacker on campus."

His voice gradually grew louder and his gaze shifted to the students watching.

"The attacker's identity is currently unknown, but we know for sure he's responsible for the last three cases. The wounds on the bodies all bear similar marks." He pointed to a corpse in the distance. "We've tentatively named him Cannibal Candy."

He patted the Discipline Committee armband on his arm and said, "We will cooperate with the security guards in the future to strengthen night patrols. Students, please stay vigilant and try not to go out at night."

"But there's no need to worry too much." Felix's lips curled up, and a perfect smile appeared on the blond boy's face. "Our discipline committee will definitely bring him to justice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding students burst into thunderous applause.

Felix stood in the crowd with his chest puffed out, like a guard defending his homeland.

Candy?

The name really captures the characteristics of the wound.

Youzhu closed her eyes, turned around and walked out of the crowd, and Xia Lu hurriedly followed.

After walking a little further, Xia Lu looked back at the crowd that was slowly dispersing and asked in confusion, "Did you find anything?"

The shoes made a clattering sound on the road, and Youzhu walked forward silently while holding Xuehua Qijing.

After the number of students around became smaller, her voice slowly rang out, "Xia Lu, you didn't do this, did you?"

"This matter?" Xia Lu was stunned for a moment, but then she thought of the scene just now and immediately reacted.

A blush immediately crept up her cheeks, this was the color of anger. "How is it possible! I would never do such a thing."

"Really? Sorry."

Youzhu's straightforward apology made Xia Lu look a little surprised. It turned out that the strong Youzhu would apologize so easily.

The breeze blew through her hair, and her short black hair was gently blown.

The footsteps suddenly stopped, and only two girls were left on the street.

"So... did you notice that the wounds on that corpse are exactly the same as those caused by the 'Demon Sword'?"

"..."

Silence spread among the girls. Xia Lu lowered her head and pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingers somewhat unnaturally.

The question Yuju asked seemed to point to something very scary.

She frowned in surprise, thinking back to the corpse just now.

"He...that..."

The girl became increasingly panicked. The wounds on the corpse were indeed consistent with those caused by the 'demon sword'.

They are all smooth like candies being licked.

"Why did you come to the scene this time?"

Youzhu's questioning voice woke her from her panicked thoughts.

"Because... I noticed a commotion over here, and then Sigmund spotted you in the air."

"Don't go near similar scenes in the future."

The body was not destroyed or hidden, but left at the scene on purpose.

There is only one possibility for Cannibal Candy to leave such obvious clues, and that is to frame Xia Lu, who has similar magic traces.

Although it cannot be confirmed that it was to frame Xia Lu, we should always be prepared.

Using similar magic traces to frame others, Cannibal Candy is most likely a nightclub participant or a companion of a nightclub participant.

Although the protection of students in this school is not strict, it does exist.

Anyone who kills their opponent in a night fight will be disqualified, and the same applies to daily school rules.
