75: Amber's Death

Chapter 75: The Death of Anberer'er

Dick concealed his form, turning into a wisp of breeze, following behind Anberer'er.

Everything proceeded normally afterwards. Anberer'er went to the cafeteria for dinner, strolled in the Academy's garden, and then went to the library to read...

There was nothing unusual about anything; this was the life of an ordinary Academy girl. Dick accelerated time, continuously fast-forwarding.

Finally, around ten o'clock in the evening, Anberer'er came out of the library and coincidentally met a kind-faced male teacher.

"Teacher Henry, good evening."

Anberer'er awkwardly bowed. Her personality was inherently introverted, and she would become extremely nervous when facing older men.

"Oh, you are Anberer'er from the third year," Henry nodded gently and said warmly, "I am very impressed with you. Among all the students, you are the most attentive..."

Although Anberer'er's grades were not good, she cherished the opportunity to study at the Academy and listened very attentively in almost every class.

It was a pity that even though Anberer'er put in several times the effort of an average student, her grades always remained at the lower end, whether in theoretical or practical classes.

Anberer'er also knew that her talent was very poor, and after graduation, she would likely only be a sacrifice for a political marriage, exchanging herself for benefits for her family.

Her father, Baron Dait, had no power or influence, and sending Anberer'er to study at the Academy was merely to give her a layer of gold plating.

It had nothing to do with fatherly love; everything was to increase Anberer'er's value and thereby gain more benefits in a political marriage.

This was Anberer'er's tragic life, short and cold, with everything determined from birth. This was also the root of her inferiority complex.

Henry walked with Anberer'er for a while, constantly saying encouraging words during that time, looking like a good teacher who cared about students.

"Hehe, speaking of which, my daughter is also about your age. She also has this shy personality. Perhaps the two of you could become friends..."

Hearing the word "friends," Anberer'er showed a look of longing and looked at Henry, saying, "If possible, please introduce me to her."

"Of course, no problem. I... hmm?"

Suddenly, Henry received a voice transmission, his brows furrowed, and he immediately looked at Anberer'er, saying, "Sorry, I have an urgent matter at home. Could I trouble you to help me take these documents to the office building?"

Although the direction of the teachers' office building was opposite to the student dormitory, Anberer'er still gladly accepted. She had always been happy to help others.

Looking at Henry's hurried departing back, Anberer'er couldn't help but feel a little anticipation, looking forward to becoming friends with his daughter.

In the three years since she enrolled, Anberer'er had not made a single friend and was even isolated and bullied. Her life was very miserable.

Before long, Anberer'er arrived at the teachers' office building.

It was already past ten o'clock, and all professional departments had finished their classes. Teachers had no interest in working overtime, so the place was currently empty.

Looking at the office building with no lights on, Anberer'er was a little scared, but she still walked in with the documents, after all, she had already promised Henry.

Behind her, Dick narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing something strange. This office building was not right.

Anberer'er was very timid; even a slightly stronger gust of wind could scare her. The documents even accidentally dropped twice while she was walking up the stairs.

Henry's office was on the third floor. Anberer'er painstakingly walked for five minutes before arriving.

Anberer'er

After putting the documents down, Anberer'er immediately wanted to leave. She disliked the teachers' office building itself, especially late at night like this.

However, while going down the stairs, Anberer'er accidentally bumped into someone.

It was a muscular man several meters tall, steaming all over. Anberer'er felt as if she had hit a wall, hurting so much she was dizzy.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Because the light was too dim, what Anberer'er saw when she looked up was just a terrifying giant shadow. She subconsciously thought it was some inhuman monster and screamed repeatedly in fright.

Dick, who was quietly following beside them, also showed a look of shock.

It wasn't because the muscular man was terrifying, but because he was actually the Academy's Warden, Old Tom.

Dick had previously witnessed Old Tom's combat form. He was a rare pháp sư tanker class, capable of transforming into a muscular man several meters tall. This was how he looked when fighting with Kun.

"Child, I'm sorry I scared you..."

Old Tom casually sent out a beam of light, and the entire stairwell instantly became as bright as day. At the same time, Anberer'er also clearly saw Old Tom's kindly old face.

"War- Warden?!"

Anberer'er looked bewildered. As a student, she naturally knew Old Tom, but this was the first time she had seen Old Tom's combat form.

Dick observed keenly and noticed that Old Tom had wounds and bloodstains on him. He seemed to have just gone through an intense battle.

Old Tom was a Level 51 melee pháp sư tanker. It was not easy to injure him, so his opponent's strength must have been incredibly powerful.

"The office building is not safe now. I will take you away from here..."

However, before Old Tom could finish speaking, Anberer'er was grabbed by a scarlet monster. Its speed was extremely fast, to the point where it was difficult for the naked eye to capture.

"Ahhh!! Warden... help me..."

The monster ran towards the office building's rooftop. Anberer'er's screams were intermittent and grew quieter.

Dick's expression turned strange, because what took Anberer'er was not a creature, but a high-level ghost, at least Level 30!

The office building was over ten stories high, but the monster reached the rooftop in just a few seconds. At this moment, it was clutching Anberer'er's neck, holding her high up.

"Hiss—"

The monster opened its bloody maw, and a foul, Fishy smell smell rushed towards Anberer'er. She felt a wave of nausea, but even more so, the pain of suffocation.

Bang!

The rooftop door was roughly knocked open. Old Tom appeared in time. His body was filled with blood qi, and he seemed to have used some kind of physical enhancement secret technique.

Dick's eyes narrowed, because this was a pháp sư tanker secret technique that overdrawn life force.

"Ina, let her go! She is just an innocent student. When you were alive, you were incredibly kind, not even willing to step on an ant..."

However, in response to Old Tom's words, the monster let out a frenzied roar, which sounded terrifying under the silent night sky.

Crack!

Anberer'er's neck snapped. Her limbs hung limply, and her eyes stared blankly at the night sky. She was then thrown aside by the monster like trash.

"No!!!!"

Old Tom's roar came from beside her ear, but it was very quiet, because Anberer'er's memory timeline had ended, and the entire world plunged into darkness.

The scene shifted. Anberer'er had already turned into a ghost. She looked around blankly on the office building's rooftop, clearly without any memory of what happened before.

At this moment, the traces of battle on the rooftop had been completely erased. Not a single drop of blood could be seen, and the door that Old Tom had broken was also replaced.

Everything was so normal, completely hiding the fact that a young girl had tragically died here.

Dick quickly scanned Anberer'er's memory and found that at this moment, two months had already passed since Anberer'er's death!

This was not normal.

Logically speaking, if a person's soul cannot dissipate after death due to resentment, they would turn into a ghost within seven days at most, not two months later.

It was obvious that Anberer'er's soul had been artificially detained.

Dick even suspected that Anberer'er's ghost was not naturally generated by resentment, but was created through some kind of technique!
