Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 51 The Liar

The room was filled with very girly things, especially a lot of stuffed animals, which were piled up on the bed, on the table, or hanging on the wall. Zhang Chen did not sense any sinister or dark magic aura.

Liu Ru led him to his sister's portrait, and Zhang Chen sincerely paid his respects with a look of regret.

Regardless, respect for the deceased is paramount.

After Zhang Chen finished paying his respects, he asked with some pity, "Your sister is gone, so what are you going to do?"

Her eyes dimmed as she said, "I'm doing part-time jobs around the university; that should be enough to support me until graduation—you should go! I'm going back to the university!"

He then tried to urge Zhang Chen to leave, so Zhang Chen had no choice but to leave.

Fortunately, it was confirmed that she was indeed possessed by a mind-controlling spirit, but it's still unknown whether she's a vampire.

Zhang Chen did not help her exorcise it, but planned to instruct Mo Fan to follow her and see what exactly had bewitched her.

At night, in the woods outside the walls of Qingyuan Girls' Academy, Zhang Chen asked, "Have you found anything?" "No, but the girls at Qingyuan Girls' Academy are indeed very pretty," Mo Fan said with a smile. Lingling beside him gave him a disdainful look and said, "Take a look at Liu Xian's image before she died. I noticed something wrong."

"Look at her, someone who often takes the subway home, how could she not know when the last subway train is? Yet she calmly entered the subway station only after the last subway train had left."

Lingling fast-forwarded through the surveillance footage and said, "Then look here, she clearly stopped there, it seems she bumped into someone!"

In the surveillance footage, she took a few more steps forward. The lighting at this location was not very good. In the dim light, her steps became slower and slower until she finally stopped there. Unfortunately, a pillar blocked most of her body. On the surface, she appeared to be resting while leaning against the pillar, like a patient having an attack.

But after looking at it carefully several times, it seemed as if she was being held by something and couldn't move her body.

After a long time, she became noticeably weak and listless, as if she couldn't breathe. Her body stiffened, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.

"This demon is much smarter than the ones we've encountered before. If Liu Xian was really attacked by a vampire, then this kind of creature knows how to fake the cause of death."

"If someone like Liu Xian is diagnosed with a sudden heart attack, the case won't be handed over to the city's monster-hunting team, and that vampire can rest easy. In a city with tens of millions of people, it's not unusual for someone to die unexpectedly every day."

"Not to mention it also has the ability to manipulate minds." Lingling said with a chill. "When I went to Liu Xian's house today, I could clearly feel that Liu Ru had been bewitched." Zhang Chen said, "Then we can catch that demon by following her these next few days. We don't know if it's a vampire, but since we've encountered it, we can't just ignore it." Mo Fan said. Mo Fan and Zhang Chen squatted in the fenced woods, waiting for the rabbit to come to them.

On the first night, Zhang Chen's vigil yielded no results. Liu Ru stayed in the dormitory the whole time, and even her meals were packed by her roommates.

The next night, Mo Fan did hear some noise in the woods while he was on guard duty, but unfortunately it was just a student having a secret rendezvous with a man from another school.

"Would it kill you to go book a room?" Mo Fan squatted in the woods, listening to the discordant voice coming from not far away.

Thankfully, Lingling wasn't there; it probably wouldn't be good if she saw this.

In the middle of the night, Mo Fan suddenly sensed a dark, shadowy power permeating the air. He quickly nudged Zhang Chen, who was still meditating.

Zhang Chen opened his eyes and saw Mo Fan pointing to the side of the dormitory building.

A somewhat frail-looking girl was slowly climbing down the drainpipe on the balcony; this person was Liu Ru.

Liu Ru climbed down smoothly and opened a gap in the barbed wire fence, easily reaching the woods outside the school wall. Clearly, this wasn't her first time.

Liu Ru continued walking deeper into the area, like a sleepwalker, her eyes glazed over, but Zhang Chen keenly noticed a glint of silver light behind her.

When she reached a slightly open area in the woods, a tall, imposing man in a trench coat finally appeared in the darkness.

The moment he appeared, Zhang Chen and Mo Fan immediately made their move.

Two high-level crouching grass, and it had absolutely no ability to struggle.

Zhang Chen held it firmly in place, while Mo Fan unleashed a powerful "Thousand-Pound Thunderbolt Dance" attack on it! The two people in the distance could smell the aroma of roasted meat.

Liu Ru was clearly awake the whole time, just pretending for the vampire's sake. She saw the thick lightning bolt and her body trembled uncontrollably, but the next second she heard a voice that sounded somewhat familiar to her.

"Wow! Your mental strength is pretty good! You actually managed to break free from its mind control." Zhang Chen, a person at the fifth level of mental cultivation, could easily see through her condition. He said, "It's you!?" Liu Ru asked in surprise. Zhang Chen didn't reply. He walked up to the still unconscious vampire and slapped it twice to wake it up.

"Oh, you're awake?! You really are a vampire." Zhang Chen pried open its mouth and said. It was firmly locked in space by Zhang Chen and couldn't speak at all. It could only look at him with terrified eyes.

Zhang Chen chuckled, then pulled out its teeth and turned to Liu Ru, saying, "Do you want to stab it a couple of times with the dagger you're hiding?"

Liu Ru nodded with hatred in her eyes, took out the silver dagger from her back and frantically stabbed at the vampire's chest, but no matter how many times she stabbed, it was useless, and tears gradually flowed from her eyes.

My enemy is right in front of me. Even if he can't do anything, I can't do any harm to him at all. How can I be so useless!

Knowing he was doomed, the vampire looked at Liu Ru with a mocking gaze.

Liu Ru's gaze gradually darkened to its lowest point, and the dagger she had been using to stab the vampire suddenly turned towards her own chest.

But with Mo Fan and Zhang Chen right beside her, how could she possibly have succeeded in committing suicide?

Her dagger, poised to stab herself, froze. At the same time, a strange force swept through her mind, erasing the suicidal thoughts and lingering mental manipulation.

She didn't want to commit suicide, but she just couldn't help wanting to cry.

Large tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, gradually wetting the collar of her shirt.

Zhang Chen knew she was upset and said, "If you want to cry, just cry it out! You'll feel better after you've cried."

She burst into tears, stood up, and pounded Zhang Chen with her fists: "Why did you lie to me! Liar! — I'm so useless! Waaah!"

Zhang Chen stood there and let her vent her emotions. Mo Fan couldn't bear to see the girl suffer so much, so he used his rose-red flames to slowly roast the vampire.

Zhang Chen then gave him the opportunity to scream, and immediately screams and cries filled the forest. It could be seen that many dorm rooms in the girls' dormitory had their lights on and there was some commotion.
