Get Lost! This Is My Prey

De La Man tapped the invitation lightly with his staff, and soon a murky glow appeared on the staff.

"Hmm..." De La Man pushed up his thick glasses, then turned to look at He Wei Ni Ya and Olenna beside him. "Indeed, I sensed traces of magic on the invitation, and judging from the type and scale... Miss He Wei Ni Ya, what did you say you encountered last night?"

"The Second Sound's Caress Technique," He Wei Ni Ya replied.

"Yes, that should be it." De La Man nodded slightly. "How should I put it? A hundred years ago, this was a very normal and ordinary spell. But now, with the help of other spells, it has indeed lost its original meaning and become somewhat unacceptable. Miss He Wei Ni Ya, I think I understand why you were so agitated last night."

As he spoke, De La Man paused for a moment, then turned to look at Olenna.

"Miss Olenna, I would like to hear your explanation."

"This has nothing to do with me, Professor De La Man!" Olenna said excitedly. "I didn't put any spells in that invitation, especially not those disgusting spells. This is He Wei Ni Ya's slander against me!"

"Oh, Miss Olenna, do you mean there's something wrong with my test?"

"No, Professor De La Man, I mean..."

"Are you saying that Miss He Wei Ni Ya is using her own reputation to slander you?"

Olenna was speechless, only biting her lip tightly, while He Wei Ni Ya remained completely calm.

At first glance, it seems as if Olenna is the victim.

Of course, He Wei Ni Ya did play a part in this.

The trap spell she fell for last night was Third Sound's 'Zephyr Knowledge'".

This is a very ordinary talent detection spell; the person who cast it clearly wanted to know He Wei Ni Ya's true identity. However, if others knew that He Wei Ni Ya was so agitated and angry despite being afflicted by a harmless spell like "Zephyr Knowledge," they would definitely find something amiss, which would only make things more complicated for He Wei Ni Ya.

So last night, when she snatched the staff from someone else and angrily went to cause trouble for Olenna, He Wei Ni Ya also inadvertently cast a new spell on the invitation to overwrite Third Sound's 'Zephyr Knowledge'".

The spell she chose was the "Stroking" spell that De La Man had just detected.

Like "Zephyr Knowledge," this spell is harmless in itself, and it also records certain traits of the person who is affected by it.

However, unlike the Zephyr Knowledge which directly detects the pitch of the person under the spell, it is more like a giant Magic Power hand gently caressing the body of the person under the spell, and then recording the person's physical form, timbre, and... body odor.

This was originally a useless spell, but it can produce some strange effects on some people with ulterior motives.

For example, with the body data and voice of the person under the spell, the caster can use some shaping magic to create a fake person under the spell.

Just like those indescribable dolls from Bai Wei's previous life.

Some people will also engrave the unique timbre of a sorcerer on their staff.

It's like wearing the private clothes of an admirer on your own body.

Yes, the Caressing Technique itself is a harmless spell, but when the user becomes perverted, it becomes malevolent.

Therefore, as long as He Wei Ni Ya lets everyone in the academy know that she was under such a spell, her behavior last night, which was so inconsistent with her character, can be explained. Especially in the Girls' Dormitory, everyone has more or less experienced something like this, so they immediately became indignant, and last night they almost drowned Olenna in their spittle.

However, they were eventually stopped by the dormitory supervisor and professor who arrived in time, and were told to calm down first.

The very next day, He Wei Ni Ya and Olenna stood before Professor De La Man.

Although Professor De La Man was a man, he was well aware of how offensive the Caressing Technique was to women.

Of course, in the Holy Sound that highly values timbre, the victims are not only women; there are also many men who have fallen victim, and the methods used to discover them are even more perverse and vicious, but we will not go into details for now.

In any case, He Wei Ni Ya had already achieved her goal. Everyone would pity her, everyone would treat her as a victim, and at the same time put pressure on Olenna.

After all, everyone would be angry that a dignified Seventh Sound had suffered such a "filthy" thing, and no one would think about whether the technique in He Wei Ni Ya was actually Caressing Technique.

This was the best solution He Wei Ni Ya could come up with in the shortest amount of time last night.

"Miss Olenna," De La Man glanced down at the invitation again, then asked, "This invitation was sent by your brother, Finnis. Does that mean the spellcaster is yours..."

"No! Absolutely not!" Olenna didn't even let De La Man finish speaking before immediately denying it, "It has nothing to do with Brother Finnis! And it wasn't me either, how could our Lawrence Family do such a thing!"

Olenna couldn't even imagine the consequences if outsiders thought that she or Finnis had used the Caressing Technique, so she had to firmly deny it.

"But the invitation was sent by your brother," De La Man said. "And it was delivered to He Wei Ni Ya through your hands, yet you say that neither you nor your brother had anything to do with this?"

Olenna gritted her teeth. "It really has nothing to do with my brother. He doesn't even know about the invitation. I sent it out in his name."

"Oh?" De La Man raised an eyebrow, his expression turning somewhat unfriendly.

"But I didn't have any strange ideas!" Olenna realized that De La Man might have misunderstood something, so she hurriedly explained, "My brother did ask me to invite He Wei Ni Ya, but he didn't send out invitations. I wrote the invitations myself!"

"Why?" De La Man said coldly. "Isn't this just redundant?"

Olenna clenched her teeth tightly; she really didn't want to tell the truth.

But now, if she didn't speak up, not only would she be disgraced, but Finnis and the entire Lawrence Family would also be shamed. So she could only say in a trembling voice, "My brother asked me to apologize to He Wei Ni Ya... but I don't want to do that. I hate her, I don't want to say another word to her, and I don't want to bow down to her. That's why I forged my brother's handwriting and used an invitation to replace our conversation."

These words seemed to have exhausted all of Olenna's strength. After she finished speaking, her body swayed uncontrollably, as if she might fall at any moment.

Neither De La Man nor He Wei Ni Ya showed much change in expression after hearing these words.

For He Wei Ni Ya, what Olenna said did not surprise her.

She didn't think it was Olenna or Finnis who would attack her, because it was too obvious. Putting Finnis aside, Olenna didn't seem to have the brains to do such a thing.

In other words, she was used as a tool.

In this light, it seems possible that Finnis might be the reason, since he doesn't seem to care much about his sister Olenna.

But He Wei Ni Ya still didn't believe it was Finnis, because she had only met Finnis once, and there was no reason for Finnis to directly doubt her identity.

After all, the Gold Score hasn't appeared for who knows how many years. Now, everyone in the Holy Sound will assume that the Gold Score doesn't exist. That's why He Wei Ni Ya was able to stay in the academy for a year without her identity being exposed.

Normal people would never think in this direction.

So we'll have to see what Olenna says.

This is why He Wei Ni Ya made such a big fuss. If it hadn't escalated to this point, forcing Olenna to prove her innocence, finding the spellcaster would have been even more difficult.

Sure enough, forced into this situation, Olenna had no choice but to try her best to remember.

"I bought the invitations at the gift shop," Olenna said softly. "I kept them in my backpack after I bought them, and then went to class as usual..."

He Wei Ni Ya frowned more and more as she listened.

Because the invitation had been on Olenna for a whole day.

There were too many people who could have done something during that time.

However, it must not be too easy to do something under the nose of Olenna, who is a Silver Rank.

"After school, I practiced in the woods next to the dormitory, with my backpack lying to the side."

He Wei Ni Ya's brow furrowed even deeper.

If that's the case, then there are even more people who could tamper with invitations.

After all, there were just too many students practicing in the woods next to the dormitory, and most of them couldn't see each other, only hear each other's voices.

Therefore, the information provided by Olenna was of little use.

De La Man shared this view. After listening to Olenna's account, De La Man said calmly, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, Miss Olenna, this does not prove your innocence, because you cannot even find a single suspect, and in your description, I cannot even detect that you have any friends."

Olenna gritted her teeth. "I'm used to being alone."

"This is not a good thing, Miss Olenna." De La Man turned to He Wei Ni Ya. "So, Miss He Wei Ni Ya, what do you think?"

He Wei Ni Ya bowed slightly, very politely but also very tiredly, and said, "I'm sorry, Professor De La Man, I'd like to go back and rest first."

"Ah... is that so?" De La Man nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. "After all, you've been through something like this. But please don't overthink it. We will seek justice for you, no matter who the other party is."

As he spoke, De La Man glanced at Olenna, which made Olenna's face turn even paler.

"Thank you, Professor."

After saying this, He Wei Ni Ya turned and left without even glancing at Olenna again.

Watching He Wei Ni Ya's retreating figure, Olenna bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with hatred, not even noticing that she had bitten her lip until it bled.

But He Wei Ni Ya wasn't in the mood to care about Olenna right now.

Her biggest secret has been exposed.

Although it was exposed once half a month ago, this time it is undoubtedly much more serious than that time.

After leaving De La Man's office, He Wei Ni Ya took a deep breath and, for the first time, decided to seek help from a certain being.

"Do you know who the spellcaster is?" He Wei Ni Ya asked in her mind.

"Oh, so you're asking me?" Bai Wei said with a smile. "Looks like you're panicking too."

He Wei Ni Ya did not speak.

"But unfortunately, I didn't know." Bai Wei slowly straightened his head, as if he were having a serious conversation with He Wei Ni Ya. "But I could have known."

"What's the meaning?"

"If I could see," Bai Wei said, "But you know, I don't have eyes now."

He Wei Ni Ya naturally understood Bai Wei's implication, and she asked, "Can your eyes see spellcasters?"

"At least we could have seen through the magical trap in that invitation," Bai Wei said slowly, "And it wouldn't have turned out like this."

He paused for a moment, then said with a smile.

"How about we go back to the dorm and gouge out our eyes before coming back to class?"

He Wei Ni Ya did not reply.

Of course, she had considered using Bai Wei's power, but after reading that ancient book yesterday, she realized just how dangerous Bai Wei was.

No matter who her current enemy is, they can't possibly be more dangerous than Bai Wei.

Moreover, He Wei Ni Ya believed that she was not yet in dire straits.

She had thought about it carefully last night.

Those who know her identity cannot be people who are "in the public eye".

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to continue operating as He Wei Ni Ya until now.

In other words, the person who knows her identity has not yet reported her.

Then the other party only has one objective.

He also wanted to devour the Gold Score, just like the real He Wei Ni Ya a year ago.

Therefore, this is the opportunity.

He Wei Ni Ya narrowed her eyes slightly, a dangerous aura emanating from her pupils.

So, finding him and killing him is like killing the real He Wei Ni Ya, like killing Ayman.

Anyway, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

It can be done without relying on Visas's power!

He Wei Ni Ya stood by the Thousand Snow Lake and took a deep breath.

The cold wind blowing from the lake filled her nostrils, gradually calming her somewhat uneasy emotions.

Especially in times like these, it's crucial to remain calm.

As He Wei Ni Ya calmed down, pondering what expression to use to portray "a young lady who was accidentally groped naked by a lewd musician using foul magic," her body suddenly stiffened, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

It was as if something had its eye on them.

She subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of her disgust.

Over there stretched an endless Forbidden Forest.

She couldn't see anything, but she felt a malevolent gaze fixed on her, rendering her unable to move.

Fear surged into my heart like a tidal wave.

What is that...?!

He Wei Ni Ya wanted to speak, but her throat felt frozen; she wanted to move, but her body felt encased in ice.

And that malicious gaze was slowly approaching her.

Even though they were hundreds of meters apart and she couldn't see anything, she could almost hear the sound of sharp claws crushing bones, a sound that even the howling wind couldn't drown out.

Am I going to... die here?

This was He Wei Ni Ya's only thought at that moment.

Then, she heard the person in her mind, who always spoke in a relaxed and cheerful tone, address that gaze in the most authoritative and unquestionable manner.

"What are you looking at?"

"This is my prey."

The sound traveled from my mind and into the wind.

"Get out!" It was both an angry shout and a command.

The malicious look vanished instantly.

He Wei Ni Ya's body immediately returned to normal, and all that remained in her ears was the monotonous sound of the wind.

He Wei Ni Ya knelt on the ground, her body covered in cold sweat.

"What...is there?" she asked in a low voice.

"There? There's nothing there, Miss He Wei Ni Ya."

Bai Wei answered in a relaxed tone.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
