Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 427
Regarding things that have changed (5)
“Among the evidence stored there, there was only one item that could be picked up with one hand.”
“great. This is enough.”
Lennok said that and nodded.
Looking at Lennok, Cassia shrugged slightly.
“While I stopped by the local police station, I also looked at the case log. But are there any facts that can be found out with just that amount of evidence?”
“Seven university officials died on the spot, and the estimated time of death does not differ by even 5 minutes. In fact, everyone died instantly on the spot.”
Saying so, Lennok slowly touched the ornament on the necklace.
“Nevertheless, there is no sign of resistance on the corpse, and there are no other signs. It is impossible unless you are a fairly outstanding superhuman.”
“So you’re saying that this necklace that was left at the site belonged to that superman?”
“no. This is a message.”
“… … You mean the message?”
“Heiler Thompson is a wizard from the City Council Lab… … . He’s an excellent wizard, but he doesn’t have enough experience in killing to kill seven people cleanly.”
“… … .”
Carefully examine the cross section of the necklace and carefully inject magic into it.
[Ahhh… … !]
With Dabi giving a small spirit, the mana that flowed into the inside was naturally replaced with power through a series of flows in the necklace and touched the power supply.
Charreuk!!
The necklace instantly changed into a shape similar to a key.
“It is said that he had a gentle personality even when he was working at a research institute directly under the city government. How likely is it that someone like that will kill seven people in a fit of rage because university staff are visiting?”
“then… … .”
“A murder scene that doesn’t seem to have much to do with magic. The key to applying the technology of the evidence items and thesis that remained openly… … .”
Lennok said that and casually inserted the key into the gap in the wall of the workshop and turned it.
A wall with a pattern engraved exactly like the decoration of the necklace. There was a faint crack beneath it, like a keyhole.
“This is a sense of incongruity designed with solid intentions.”
click!!
Koo Goo Goo!!
At the same time, a hidden space appeared beyond the room.
On a dark desk with a lantern on, someone was lying facedown on the desk, tongue out and dead.
“Ha Heiler Thompson… … !”
Only then did Cassia realize that the owner of this workshop was not the perpetrator but the victim, and took a step back.
Archwood, too, let out a sigh with a stiff face.
“I can’t believe that a level 6 army mage was assassinated… … !!”
Shiiik!!
At that moment, something whitish appeared out of nothingness and rushed towards Lennok in an instant.
Before anyone could react, he grabbed Lennok by the waist and broke it in half.
Crunchy!!
There was a terrifying sound, like a broken spine. A violent shock enough to paralyze the lower half of the body.
The moment when the new type, which had eliminated Lennok’s means of escaping in an instant, was about to lift up his body and disappear.
Lennok’s limp body collapsed as it was, and the magician bursting out of it began to entangle the new form.
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
“… … !!!”
I quickly raised my magic and tried to cut off the magician and run away, but the tension is really not normal.
A situation where it is difficult to move a single fingertip with the whole body joint constrained.
However, In-young threw herself against the wall of the factory with only a slight wriggling force and hit her shoulder.
Woooo!!
The shock caused the old workshop’s conveyor belt to collapse and the pipes hanging from the ceiling to fall, making a loud roar.
The moment when Archwood and Cassia raised their magical powers almost at the same time to find the location of the human figure and try to intercept it.
“it’s okay.”
Kwajik!!
said Lennok, walking out through the dust.
Beneath Lennok’s feet lay an elderly man whose temples had been crushed by boots, with his entire body bound.
Lennok brushed the dust off his shoulder and laughed.
“I thought I had tied my whole body together, but I didn’t know that I would try to escape with only my toes. I will have to pay more attention in the future.”
“Obviously there was a shock, but since when on earth… … .”
Cassia muttered with a dumbfounded expression.
It must have been a powerful welcome from the sudden assailant, even though he must have had a conversation with Lennok right in front of him.
“It is the effect of the artifact.”
Lennok said indifferently.
“Before I followed Professor Richellen to the university, I traveled a lot. In the process, I brought a lot of useful things.”
“That’s right. The reason why I was able to write such a thesis… … .”
“Thesis?”
Archwood asked, narrowing his brows slightly.
“What do you mean by thesis?”
“… … .Today, this place was created to track down criminals who are trying to misuse the thesis authored by assistant professor Evan himself.”
Unbearable, Cassia turned her head and said.
“You said you came to help the assistant professor, but it looks like you haven’t heard anything from the dean yet.”
“I don’t know what you mean. It’s true that he accepted this job just to see the face of the genius who wrote the thesis on the substitution of magical power and electric power, but Evan… … hmm?”
It was only then that Archwood, realizing what Cassia was talking about, turned his rigid neck to look at Lennok.
“The thesis… … So, Evan… … ?”
“… … .”
“The very theory that is driving up the stock prices of not only academia but also all energy industries right now?”
“To think that you were here right now without even knowing it… … .”
Cassia sighed and walked past Archwood and out of the factory.
“That’s Okay. First of all, I will give an interim report to the dean about this matter.”
“That is… … .”
It was quite fun to watch Archwood stutter in a cold sweat, but he had to say something.
“You can’t go out yet.”
“yes?”
“There will probably be more.”
As Lennok said, he strained his leg and pressed the man’s temple even harder.
The bald-headed man’s complexion turned purple in an instant, and he began to make suffocating noises.
“Oh… … .”
It is a pain that directly blocks and closes the blood vessels that go through the head.
Even Lennok’s leg strength was enough to stun ordinary people. It must be an excruciating pain that even a skilled superman would not be able to withstand.
At that, Cassia, who was holding her cell phone and naturally opened the door leading out of the factory, hesitated.
“There are more… … . What do you mean? Isn’t this man the culprit in this case?”
“At the point where you assassinated Heiler Thompson and killed the university staff, you probably knew others were coming. Knowing that, he’s too weak to have waited alone.”
baek!!
The man foams at the mouth as he kicks his temple with his tiptoe.
Lennok, who knelt beside the man, clutching his tight thighs, began rummaging in the man’s arms.
“I don’t know if he was strong, but since he was easily overpowered, there is a high probability that there will be a few more. To be precise, near the scene of an incident where we are sure to come.”
Lennok knew that too, so he wasn’t in too much of a hurry to explore the site.
If what they’re looking for is really the person involved in the paper’s research, then the other person won’t run away and will be watching for an opportunity.
“The culprit always reappears at the crime scene… … It’s a cliché, but it’s less likely to be wrong. Found it.”
jingle.
A mechanical device taken out of the man’s arms.
Lennok, who lightly raised his mana and looked inside, nodded, and a small music sound began to be heard as the device turned inside the spring potato.
A music box that is not very ordinary, made using magical engineering.
However, it was not normal for Archwood and Cassia’s complexions to harden upon hearing the sound of the music.
“Damn this music… … .”
“Is it gospel? Wait a minute, hearing hymns here… … !!”
“It’s the song of the continent’s most famous religious group praising their god.”
After saying that, Lennox let out a small sigh.
“It seems that the Guido Church has begun to set foot in this city.”
* * *
“Bishop Amilla, when are you going to rush in?”
“Wait a little longer.”
The woman called Amilla ignored the voice behind her and fiddled with the pendant in her hand.
wheein… … !!
At the same time as touching the power hidden inside the pendant, the battery built in the back supplies power as it is working and touches the internal circuit.
At the same time, some of the power converted into magical energy began to function as a magical engineering item.
The pendants begin to take on a similar assortment to the necklace Lennok had just converted into a key.
Amilla looked at it and burst into exclamations one after another.
“Ho-ho-ho.”
“Haven’t you already seen it hundreds of times? We’ll have to look for them when they’re inside the workshop. The opportunity is only now… … .”
“Hey, don’t you see how great this thing is even after seeing it hundreds of times?”
“… … .”
Ignoring the silent attendant, Amilla continued.
“The power from the fucking simple battery is being converted into horsepower. Even flipping a switch can do the opposite.”
“… … Isn’t energy perfectly conserved in the conversion process? The authors of this paper did not invent the beginnings of perpetuity.”
“of course. If it had been that easy, we would have been on the ark to paradise long ago?”
said Amilla, giggling.
“However, the principles contained in this thesis are not such a laughing matter. A substitution theory that raises the conversion rate to the limit by linking the two energies of electric power and horsepower in particle units. Is this really an accidental discovery?”
“… … .”
“We are proving the theory by assuming that the motion of particles moving in disorder is observed from the future, not the present. This is not an idea that ordinary human beings can do.”
Under the orders of the two apostles, Amilla Banger, the branch leader of the Guido Church, infiltrated to investigate Ayun’s death.
It was purely accidental that a pendant made based on Lennok’s thesis came into her eyes, but she understood exactly what value this object had with just this pendant.
I decided that it was worth abandoning my plans so far only to investigate this pendant and the paper that it originated from and find out the author.
“The author of this paper is a genius who will go down in the history of the continent. That must be someone who can understand and handle the entropy system that the church leadership is looking for.”
Putting the pendant in her arms and standing up, Amilla licked her lips.
“If you handle it well, it’s a theory that can handle not only the conversion of energy but also the amplification by adjusting it. Recently, I thought that stock prices of energy companies were going up metallurgy, and this was the reason. There will be an uproar when this thesis starts to be commercialized in earnest.”
“Are you still checking the continental market cap? It is against doctrine.”
“Think of it as a lyre to support God’s providence. Shall we begin then?”
The man sighed as he looked at Amilla, who responded succinctly and began to stand up.
Men are not so dull that they cannot recognize the value of a pendant.
I also clearly understand why they are so obsessed with this object they stumble upon upon entering the inner city.
However, as much as I understand it, shouldn’t I definitely catch the people who built the principle of this thing now?
“It’s already too late. It’s better.”
The priests of the church all have their keen eyes on the factory.
The door that had been tightly closed with yellow tape was slowly opening.
“Because the other side seems to have noticed our presence.”
