Xue's Law: "???"
"You see, if you had a magic school, you could have educated this kid named Kirino Makio from a young age, and his tragedy wouldn't have happened. He could also be a great help to you, since you're always so busy, aren't you?" Old Green paused the video and pointed inside.
"Like this invasion today, there might be more in the future. If you can't handle it all, having a few students as assistants would be a good option." Old Green seemed to be continuing to tempt Xue to open a school.
Xue Dinglu secretly pointed to the bald teacher lecturing on the blackboard: "Look, I'm still a male college student. I can teach one or two kids occasionally, but please spare me if you want me to be the principal."
Most importantly, there are no superpowered individuals or magicians in this world. Xue Lude has seen his mother's connections; he is the only magician in the entire world. Ever since the Blue Star God Era was forcibly ended, any living being is prohibited from becoming a spirit unless permitted.
In other words, he is the only superhuman in the world.
Even those descendants of gods or other transmigrators from other worlds were forcibly regressed to the point where they were no different from ordinary people.
It can be said that, apart from Xue's Law, the Earth is an "absolutely magic-free" world.
Other units will only be affected or enhanced by magic.
He can't find any help here; if he really needs to call on someone, he'll have to call on those unreliable Greek guys.
If he really perfects the Heroic Spirit Summoning system in the future, then it might be OK. At that time, a simple "Endless Heroic Spirits, come forth" would be much more reliable than slowly raising students.
However, the progress of the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ritual was stuck. Xue's Law could only summon himself using a complete and complex ritual, but all his attempts to summon other Heroic Spirits ended in failure.
Even those familiar faces from ancient Greece couldn't be summoned by the Heroic Spirit Summoning System.
Therefore, whether it's the student body or the environment, it would be quite difficult for him to open a magic school.
“Isn’t this space of yours very suitable as the address for a magic school?” Old Green pointed to Xue’s consciousness space.
Xue's Law: "???"
"An independent subspace with the potential for infinite expansion. Everything here, including light and environment, is tied to you. Where you are, it is daytime here; where you are, it is nighttime here. It also meets the 'mysterious' characteristics required by your world."
"Besides that, your house can be renovated to become a dormitory, and a fixed teleportation portal can be installed, so it will be convenient even if you go to other worlds." Old Green became more and more excited as he spoke, and the more feasible it seemed.
He acted on his idea immediately, drawing architectural blueprints on the ground in his consciousness space, clearly showing all the parameters and the building structure.
"You actually drew this?"
"No need to trouble you. Just provide me with the stones and metal. I can build this school all by myself. Let me tell you, my civil engineering magic is the strongest in the world. I built most of the buildings in that academy myself." The old man seemed quite excited, his eyes practically glowing as he looked at the building structure on the ground.
There's a kind of abstract image that elementary school students want to create on the beach, like sand sculptures.
The architectural plans include everything from teaching buildings and office buildings to monster huts, clock towers, libraries, and astronomical towers.
Xue Dinglu felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the densely packed blueprints. He wondered what the old man was thinking. His consciousness space wasn't actually that big yet; a library would be more than enough.
Forget it, let him play if he wants. Consider it payment for the old man exchanging dozens of fairy tale magics from Xue's Law. We can just order a batch of marble, steel bars, and cement for him to build and play with at his own pace.
He was still researching emergency communication devices, and every now and then he wanted to test those fairy tale magics.
The bald old professor stood in front of the podium, his chalk constantly drawing on the basic knowledge points in the textbook of ideological and political education, saying that these were the topics that would be tested at the end of the semester.
Most students are drowsy. The thick textbook of the Ideological and Moral Cultivation course, with its hundreds of pages, is enough to deter most people. Moreover, much of the content is actually the same as what they learned in humanities classes in middle school, so many people don't care about it.
It's still common to see students secretly playing on their phones, chatting, and countless others dozing off at a top-tier university like USTC.
"A philosophy of life mainly includes one's attitude towards life, life values, and life purpose. These three are unified and mutually restrictive, and they are all essential points for the final exam. You must take careful notes..."
The teacher on the podium seemed to be trying to rouse the students' enthusiasm, but it wasn't very effective.
Looking at the knowledge points on the blackboard, Xue Luding habitually took notes, while wondering if those otherworldly people he had taken to the police station were learning the same things now.
He recalled that there were also exams for ideological and political education and general theory courses in the labor camp, and the exams were quite difficult. If you didn't memorize the material carefully, you might have to work twice as many sewing machines.
Just as his mind began to wander freely, there was a knock on the classroom door, and the department head suddenly said, "Excuse me for interrupting the class, is Xue Dinglu here? Please come to the office..."
"Hmm?" Xue Dinglu stood up in confusion, put on his mask and sunglasses, and left the classroom.
The students started talking about it, after all, Xue Dinglu had only attended a few classes since the start of the semester, making him the most mysterious student in the class.
At the same time, he also has the identity of a "director," which makes it hard for others not to have any doubts.
When Xue Dinglu arrived at the office, he was greeted by the department head chatting warmly with several officers.
Xue Luding was even more puzzled. Could it be that those people from another world had caused some trouble? That shouldn't be the case. His and Old Green's passionate sealing technique combination had them completely under their control. Not to mention a near-fourth-tier mage, even a true fourth-tier mage would be helpless if sealed.
"Hello, Xue Dinglu, there are some things we'd like to understand. Excuse me, Director, could you please step outside for a moment, and please stay away from the door? What I'm about to say might not be suitable for you to hear." The old officer's eyes were incredibly sharp, making the department head feel uneasy.
"Okay, okay." The young officer stood guard at the door, and then only Xue Dinglu and the old officer remained in the office.
"Was it those illegal foreigners causing trouble?" Xue asked tentatively, but seeing the old police officer's sharp eyes, Xue felt it was unlikely.
If it's those people causing trouble, they should go after them. Neither electric shocks nor six blows per second will break the seal.
"No, they're conducting compulsory ideological and political education right now, which covers more material than what you're learning in class. It has nothing to do with them." The old police officer didn't touch the tea in the paper cup on the table; he just held the cup.
After seemingly considering how to speak, he finally said, "Someone had an accident yesterday, it has nothing to do with you, I'm just making a routine inquiry..."
Xue's Law: "???"
“Someone died at the school. The body was discovered at 7 a.m. this morning. It was found in Baohe, not far northeast of the school. It was broken into 108 pieces…” The old police officer seemed to have considered his words for a long time before saying them.
"What time was the death?" Xue asked immediately.
"Around 5 a.m., don't worry, you can't be a suspect. At this time, you should be beating up those illegal foreigners. You're cleared of suspicion. I just wanted to talk to you to get some information and see if there's anything we haven't discovered." The veteran officer seemed to be trying to lighten the mood with a joke.
But it doesn't seem to have any effect.
5 o'clock was exactly the time he was busy teaching those otherworldly people a lesson, and it just so happened that he wasn't in Jiangcheng.
Another life has been lost right before my eyes...
Xue Law recounted every detail of last night in detail, his mind replaying every single detail as clearly as a video recorder.
No, there's something else: eye-tracking records.
This feature, provided by the great sage, allowed him to record everything he saw.
Without saying a word, Xue extracted the video and handed the USB drive to the veteran police officer, claiming that he had been wearing a hidden pinhole camera to record the video.
The veteran police officer carefully took the USB drive and fell silent again.
"Where is the scene of the body? I'd like to go with them and see if we can find anything."
Chapter 146 Don't worry, I won't kill anyone, I'll only inflict the ultimate humiliation.
"The deceased was 21 years old, unmarried, and a sophomore in college. She left alone last night and did not return home, disappearing into a tree-lined path. Furthermore, the details are too fragmented to determine what kind of treatment she received before her death, whether she was under the influence of drugs, etc..."
The forensic doctor recorded the information on the body, which was then shattered into pieces and submerged in water, making it unrecognizable.
One black garbage bag after another was placed here, and the scene was cordoned off with a lot of police tape. Everyone looked somber with furrowed brows, and even though they were busy until now, they didn't dare to eat breakfast.
Many of the younger officers had already vomited; they weren't even allowed to stay at the scene and were instead reassigned to guard the area outside.
Have you checked the nearby surveillance footage?
"After a preliminary investigation, no suspects were found."
Afterwards, the forensic pathologist, having finished recording the data, originally planned to take these body samples back to the autopsy room for further testing.
A male college student was squatting by the river not far away.
Xue's Law arrived at the scene posing as a friend of the victim, which was absurd but somehow got through.
At that moment, Xue Dinglu put his finger into the river, and in an instant, the cursed blood transformed into millions of fish that began to search the river and quickly discovered more body tissues.
It wasn't 108 pieces, but over 120 pieces of minced meat...
The time of death was 5:11 AM, the manner of death was excessive blood loss to the back of the head, and the body was dismembered after death. The body was transported in plastic bags and suitcases.
These are all information obtained from the cursed blood; they are the intelligence that the body sample could ultimately provide to Xue's Law.
Looking at the pile of corpses, he couldn't even use the "Resurrection" spell. Even the Lich King wouldn't be able to do anything about such a shattered state.
It was a little past five o'clock, which was precisely when he wasn't in Jiangcheng; he was on his way to beat up those hillbillies from another world.
He seemed a little angry. He would be angry no matter who it was, as it was the death of an innocent person next to him. He looked towards the body of water.
Baohe River is 6 kilometers away from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), but the small river upstream of Baohe River is only 2 kilometers away from USTC. Several other schools in Jiangcheng are located nearby, including universities and primary and secondary schools. This is not even the first scene of the body dumping, but rather the river flowing down from upstream.
"Any discoveries?" the veteran officer asked.
"No, I'm sorry to have troubled you," Xue Dinglu said.
"It's nothing. I just didn't expect you to be able to remain calm in such an environment. Are medical students this well-behaved these days? Are you interested in switching to forensic medicine in a few months?"
"I'm holding it in... I'm sorry, officer, I want to be alone."
"Okay, I've asked you for a day off. Get some rest."
Xue was taken to school, but the moment the police car left, the blood in his hand began to condense, and then the blood gathered into the shape of a hunting dog, and then completely transformed into that hunting dog-like appearance.
“I used to think I could never kill someone on my own planet, not for justice, not for kindness, but simply because my humanity wouldn’t allow it. The old man also said that if you’re on a pedestal for too long, your humanity will slowly fade away…”
"But now, I've changed my mind..."
The sky was overcast and filled with dark clouds, as if a heavy rain was about to fall. The breeze carried the scent of earth and a hint of blood.
Meanwhile, in the consciousness space, Old Green frowned as he witnessed this scene. He had just finished reading the message sent back by Xue's cursed blood. For the police officers, these were things that required a lot of time to investigate and confirm.
However, for them, they only need a little bit of information to roughly reconstruct the whole process, and even pinpoint the range of potential perpetrators.
"Xiao Xue, what do you think we should do?" Old Green asked tentatively. He had also smelled the blood, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
"Don't worry, I'm almost at the source." He closed his eyes, and the cursed blood he had released into the Bao River began to flow backward, finding its way back to the river where the body had been dumped.
The cursed blood began to gather together, transforming into a small fish that leaped out of the water and became a hunting dog, continuing to follow the scent towards its destination.
"But I've discovered that I might have to break a precedent I used to have. There really are people who are trying to cause trouble on my turf," Xue Dinglu said calmly, explaining his reasoning.
"This city is under my protection."
……
Inside the police station, the Criminal Investigation Department was now at its most mobilized, and everyone looked somber as they reviewed report after report.
Such a major incident occurred in their own city, and it was even a provincial capital. It was outrageous from top to bottom. The last time they heard of such a cruel criminal was decades ago in the neighboring provincial capital, where a dismemberment case had occurred and the killer had not yet been found.
After that, his colleagues there became universally despised, and to this day they remain a negative example used by everyone online to express disdain and sarcasm.
So whether it was for the sake of basic justice or for their own reputation, they investigated with all their might.
"Wait a minute, Section Chief, we've made a major discovery. A suitcase containing the same body parts was found upstream. The location where the body parts were found is very likely not the initial dumping site, but rather further upstream," someone said.
The others immediately became alert. The Baohe River is a river with a very small flow. If a small boat is placed upstream, it may take several hours to drift backward a few kilometers. Therefore, since they deduced that the deceased died at 5 a.m., they naturally assumed that the area near the body was where the body was dumped.
