My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 133 Girls' Dormitory Building

"Most cases are committed by acquaintances, with a large proportion of crimes committed in the course of passion. Suspects often target relatives or acquaintances."

Of course, I'm not saying that's definitely the case, but just to rule out that possibility.

Lynn looked at the emotionally agitated Nova with some surprise.

"We didn't stop you from going to find someone. You could have chosen not to follow us. Why are you so agitated?"

Nova was so angry at Lynn's words that she became breathless.

"We're just telling you that the girls on your floor are like sisters, it's definitely not what you're imagining. You're just wasting your time!"

Lynn ignored her and pulled Bruno outside.

Nova, seeing that no one paid any attention to her, had no choice but to follow them angrily.

Lynn supported Bruno as they walked ahead.

Lynn asked in a low voice, "Bruno, is this Nova familiar with your girlfriend?"

Bruno found it strange that Lynn was speaking so softly.

However, he followed suit and whispered:

"I don't know. All I know is that she's Christine's roommate and they get along pretty well. That's all I know."

"Does she know you're a nobleman?" Lynn asked again.

Bruno was somewhat uncertain.

"Logically, she should know. After the falling out at that social gathering, Tingting should have told her about it, but I'm not entirely sure."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Nova?"

Lynn shook her head.

"No, I was just asking."

Bruno was a little confused.

In his panic, he lost his composure.

The only thing he believes is right right now is to trust his buddies.

Lynn waved to Jack, who was standing to the side.

Seeing this, Jack quickly caught up.

"Brother Lynn, what do you need me to do?"

Lynn elbowed the distraught Bruno.

"Don't just stand there. Give Jack a token and have him notify your family to search for someone in the capital. Don't count on the school being of any use now."

Although Bruno was puzzled as to why Lynn questioned the school, he acted quickly and told Jack where he was going and what he was going to say.

Jack hurriedly left with the token.

Lynn, Bruno, and Nova quickly arrived at the dormitory building's gatehouse.

Lynn explained his purpose to the doorman.

The logbook showing last night's entry and exit was handed over.

Since most of the students on campus were nobles, the records at the gatehouse were very detailed.

Names, number of people traveling with them, and items they are carrying are all recorded.

Lynn carefully reviewed the entry and exit records for that period of time.

Surprisingly, Christine's name could not be found.

"How is this possible!?"

Nova was the first to be shocked.

Lynn carefully observed her expression.

This performance doesn't seem fake.

Lynn said in a deep voice, "Then it seems that Christine is either still in the dormitory building, or she was put into a container and taken out of the dormitory building last night."

Lynn asked the teacher on duty at the gatehouse for permission to search all the rooms in the building.

The security guard did not agree to the request.

His reason was that he didn't have the authority.

He has no right to enter a private bedroom, even if someone is missing.

Lynn knew perfectly well that this was simply because Christine wasn't a noblewoman.

If it were nobles, they would probably give a completely different explanation.

Lynn asked Bruno to negotiate, but the result was still negative.

Bruno was so angry that he wanted to drag the security guard out and beat him up.

Lynn stopped him in time.

"Forget it, Bruno, now is not the time to act impulsively."

Lynn wrote down the names, grades, and majors of the people who carried large packages in and out last night in her notebook.

"Let's assume for now that Christine was put in a box and taken out. Your task now is to go with Nova to find these people and question them thoroughly, understand?"

Lynn emphasized the words "let's go together".

This made Nova, who was standing to the side, look very unhappy.

"But what if Christine is trapped inside right now?! Searching for her like this is just like looking for a needle in a haystack!? Damn it all!!!!"

Bruno was so enraged by the doorman that he completely lost his temper.

His eyes were bloodshot and red.

"I have my own way of handling things in the dormitory building, so you don't need to worry about it."

In short, first find the course schedules for each major, then ask around among the students, and we'll meet up behind the cafeteria afterwards.

Lynn patted Bruno on the shoulder.

Bruno stared into Lynn's firm and composed eyes, and the trust he felt calmed him down a little.

He gritted his teeth and nodded forcefully.

"Okay, I'll go find someone right now, we'll meet at the cafeteria!"

Bruno hurriedly left with Nova.

Lynn, on the other hand, went around to the back of the dormitory building.

He looked up at the tall building and took a deep breath.

Since the security guard wouldn't let me in, I had no choice but to sneak in on my own.

For him, this was not a difficult thing.

Lynn looked around.

Seeing that no one was around, he used [Shadow Man] to conceal his figure.

He left a teleportation circle in the bushes at his feet.

He leaped up and jumped into a dormitory room with an open window.

Lynn searched the room, and after confirming that no one was there, she opened the door and left.

Seeing that no one was in the corridor, Lynn casually closed the dormitory door and used the Evocation Mage skill [Spellweaving] to create a master key, successfully locking the door from the inside.

"Christine's dorm is on the seventh floor; perhaps we should search the seventh floor first."

With that thought in mind, Lynn prepared to climb the stairs to the seventh floor.

During this time, he encountered several female students lingering in the stairwell, but he successfully lured them away using his mental power and quietly made his way to the seventh floor.

He barged into any empty room.

He then carefully probed the rooms where people were staying using his mental power.

Soon, Lynn had checked every single dormitory room.

No suspected victims were found.

Lynn quickly searched downstairs from upstairs.

He searched every single floor.

Christine was still not found.

Lynn had no choice but to teleport away.

He emerged from the bushes, preparing to hurry to the canteen.

A voice called out to him.

"Lynn Wilson, what are you doing?"

Lynn froze.

He slowly turned around and looked at the owner of the voice.

"Who are you?"

Lynn remained calm and unhurried, pretending that nothing had happened.

Monica suppressed a laugh, but outwardly maintained a serious expression, saying:

"You just came out of the girls' dormitory, right? I saw it all."

Lynn frowned upon hearing this.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I have other things to attend to, so I can't keep you company any longer."

Lynn turned to leave.

Monica, standing behind him, finally couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

However, I think no one would have imagined that the handsome and talented top alchemist of the first year would have such a lewd hobby.

Lynn pretended not to hear and quickly left.

Monica got anxious when Lynn ignored her.

She quickly stepped in front of Lynn, forcing a smile as she said:

"I was just joking earlier, don't take it to heart. I've come to see you on important business."

She took out an exquisite business card from her storage ring.

"My name is Monica Ness, and I am from one of the four great alchemy families, as commonly known."

I've been following you since Jeremy's match, but there were too many people that day, and I didn't think it was a suitable place to chat.

Monica tilted her head and smiled at Lynn.

"Lynn, I think you probably don't realize how dangerous your situation is right now, do you?"

I came to find you this time to save you.
