Chapter 10, The First Prey

Bao Datong observed coldly, feeling somewhat perplexed. In both murder cases, this teacher appeared twice. He expressed only regret over the students' deaths, yet showed an unusual enthusiasm for those ghostly drawings. What kind of person is he, and why does he react this way

Then since that is the case, why learn the way and methods, and still come out to scare people

Pretending to be nonchalant, he walked upstairs. As he passed by a pot of vibrant oleander in the hall, he suddenly grabbed a horizontally extending branch and squeezed it hard. With a startled cry, a girl in a fiery red outfit emerged from behind the large potted plant, nearly falling to the ground due to the unexpected encounter. Fortunately, Baodatong had been holding onto her all along.

Did you forget? My dormitory faces the West Teaching Building. I saw lights here and felt something might happen, so I came to take a look. Teacher Fan replied respectfully, glancing at the ground, shaking his head helplessly. Then he looked at the easel, and his eyes immediately sparkled.

"So you are saying that I am the first prey you have shot?" Ba Datong was extremely surprised, yet helpless, "It is a great honor"

Hurry up! Hua Lei struggled for a moment without success and could only call out softly to Bao Datong

Sigh, at the very least you should tell me how to eliminate the effects of www.hetushu.com. I’ve been shot. Ba Datong said with a pained expression, "Since you came here today, you must have investigated me, so you know what I do, right? For you, magic is just a means of intimidation, but for me, it is a matter of life and death. You don’t want to take my life, do you?"

My goodness! Another masterpiece by a genius! he exclaimed

The animal tooth necklace shows no signs of abnormalities, but seeing Hua Lei so anxious, it must be a very important memento

Oh, the hat is so big. It turns out someone shot me first and that was it. What kind of mage are you, playing online games like this!" Ba Datong flicked Huailai's forehead and then leisurely sat on the sofa, saying, "You won't achieve anything with such sneaky tactics. How could I carelessly leave something so important behind?" He patted his waist and adjusted his collar, making it clear to Huailai that he carried the Binding Spirit Gun with him, and that the string of beast teeth was hanging around his neck. Then he leisurely sat on the sofa again, repeating, "You won't achieve anything with such sneaky tactics. How could I carelessly leave something so important behind?" He patted his waist and adjusted his collar once more, making it clear to Huailai that he carried the Binding Spirit Gun with him, and that the string of beast teeth was hanging around his neck.

Return my things! Hua Lei is still lying on the ground, yet she extends her hand towards Ba Datong

The flower | The willow brows are raised, and a charming face is slightly flushed, leaving one to wonder whether it is due to anger or embarrassment. "Bao Datong, you have gone too far. You have taken away my Donghe - Tu - Shuxi, and now you are teasing me. You are— you are a disgrace to the realm of mages"

After the usual round of inquiries and investigations, it was still early when Bao Datong returned home, as the body had been discovered relatively early. Upon entering the villa, he immediately sensed that something was amiss. At first glance, everything appeared normal, but in reality, there was definitely more than just him in the house. Although his abilities had been sealed, his keen instincts were still markedly different from those of ordinary people.

Now looking at the flowers, Lei's whole body tensed up, her back arched, resembling a little cat about to get angry, which was somewhat amusing. Although this girl was around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, her magical abilities were not on par with his level at fifteen, her physical strength was inferior, and her cunning schemes were far from his. Yet, she was determined to forcefully take what she wanted, truly recklessly adorable

Sister Bud, this time you have grown closer, and the illusion has no major flaws. Bao Datong smiled as he looked at the flower bud, noticing that she had a dark hairpin in her stylish short hair, which was not easily visible unless one looked closely. Clearly, her ability to conceal herself so well is due to this peculiar object. It seems that although this girl is so inexperienced that it leaves one speechless, she has a powerful backing and indeed possesses quite a few magical treasures.

Hua | Lei sobbed a couple of times, and Zi and Tushu elegantly sat up, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that—I don't know how to resolve it. I've never encountered this situation before."

This girl appears to be hot-tempered and easily angered, yet in reality, she is quite shy. She cannot face such levels of intimacy with composure, indicating that she likely has strict upbringing, limited social interactions, and insufficient life experience. However, judging by her attire and demeanor, it is evident that her family background must be quite good

"I was just about to ask you! What are you doing here? Today is not your duty day." Principal Zhang, caught in an embarrassing situation by his subordinate, was so angry that he forgot his fear and asked the question that even Bao Datong would want to ask.

Do you think we should settle this privately or publicly? You know the conditions for a private settlement; you must tell me how to lift the influence of the binding spirit gun. Of course, you might disagree. In that case, let's go public. I will call the police and inform them that there is a female thief breaking into a private residence

Bao Datong did not wish to harm this mysterious girl, so he showed some leniency. After exchanging three or five moves, he finally subdued her, gripping her hands carefully and twisting them behind her back with one hand, while the other hand was placed on her neck. However, Hua Lei struggled fiercely, refusing to yield. Bao Datong lost his balance, and the two of them fell to the ground, their positions awkwardly pressed together.

"hetushu.com, what are you doing here?" Teacher Fan recognized one of the individuals as Principal Zhang, quickly shifted the light elsewhere, and hurriedly stepped forward to assist, "Teacher, are you alright?"

Please put down the flashlight, Teacher Fan. Ba Datong also directed the light towards the other party

Ah, quite a figure you have. Is it a C or a D?

As he expected, within three seconds, a red shadow lunged at him. He was already prepared and swiftly dodged to the side. To his surprise, Hualei was not as weak as he had imagined; after the initial lunge, she unexpectedly turned back to attack again, and the two began to fight in the spacious hall

Flower bud, little flower sister, little flower aunt, can you please stop crying? He stretched out his hands in mid-air, unsure whether to pick her up or cover his ears, pretending that the sound of her crying could not escape. You have hurt me first; I merely wanted to lift the restrictions on myself and never said I wouldn't return your things. Now you are attacking me; I am only acting in self-defense. Why does it seem like I am bullying you?

"Who told you to take my things? If I am a thief, then you are a robber, a hundred times worse than me." Hua Lei hurriedly hugged Bao Datong's arm, pressing her entire chest against his arm.

Teacher Fan was completely unaware that Bao Datong was observing him; all his attention was captivated by that painting. Had it not been for Principal Zhang's intervention, he would have almost walked right up to the body to closely admire the blood-stained "masterpiece." It was not until the piercing sound of the alarm filled the entire West Campus that he came to his senses

Hua Lei struggled twice but could not break free. Feeling that her efforts were in vain and having repeatedly failed at the hands of this despicable man, she could not help but burst into tears, which truly startled Bao Datong. He hurriedly got up and was at a loss as he looked at Hua Lei, who was crying and pounding the ground.

"It feels very comfortable lying like this; you are a competent cushion." Bao Datong is being mischievous, wanting to tease Hua Lei.

He had checked this gun repeatedly; on the surface, it appeared to be an ordinary toy gun that children play with. However, the body of the gun was covered in seemingly useless yet remarkably sophisticated incantations. The interior of the barrel was also peculiar, but it could not be opened due to the seamless design of the gun. If brute force were used, the intricate mechanisms hidden within would destroy all the magical properties of the gun.

"Who is it?" a man shouted.

Principal Zhang was taken aback, sitting down abruptly on the ground, nearly fainting on the spot. At that moment, a tall, thin figure rushed in from the doorway, holding a large flashlight, its bright beam sweeping back and forth across the art studio.
