"Killing people without hesitation?" A hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the leading man.

He was a member of the Guard Squad.

He is responsible for security in the Cafeteria on weekdays.

His name is Che Mingxuan, and he has a fairly upright personality.

Miao Lechen quickly explained from the side, "It's a game. I like to kill people in games, and he just happened to be killed by me. He was so angry that he came to my door and beat me up!"

"His character is so bad, he must be severely punished!"

Che Mingxuan's eyes held a hint of coldness.

They made a huge fuss just because someone killed them in the game.

This person's character is indeed not very good.

The other trainees shook their heads in disapproval upon hearing this.

Lin Mu is really exaggerating.

Isn't it common for someone to be killed in a game?

Is it necessary to go to this extent?

Just as the argument was starting, Ge Xing walked over from a distance. When he saw what was going on, he frowned slightly but did not show himself. Instead, he hid in the shadows to observe.

When he saw Lin Mu, he instinctively realized that something was wrong.

"I didn't say it was something in a game, I was talking about something in real life!" Lin Mu said.

Miao Lechen sneered, "Are you out of your mind? I work in the Cafeteria every day, why would I kill people like this? I think you're just obsessed with playing games!"

Che Mingxuan also said at this moment, "That's right. He goes to work every day. If he really did that kind of thing, we would have found out long ago. How could there be no sound at all? Besides, he is only at the Third Order. There are countless people in the academy who are stronger than him. How could he possibly be capable of killing people without batting an eye?"

Lin Mu's expression was extremely calm. "Whether it is or not, we'll know by checking the Warehouse!"

Miao Lechen's expression suddenly changed, and fear surfaced deep in his eyes.

Che Mingxuan noticed his expression and sensed that something was wrong.

When Ge Xing saw this scene, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

He knew very well that if he inspected the Warehouse, the truth would inevitably come out.

Not to mention Miao Lechen, he is also partly to blame.

After all, the academy is surrounded by surveillance cameras, and there are so many powerful individuals around; if they want to investigate, they can.

How could someone who's constantly in contact with Miao Lechen possibly escape being investigated?

"Damn it! He's coming for us!" Ge Xing realized.

Lin Mu must know something to do such a thing.

"I have to find a way to resolve this!" Ge Xing thought to himself.

They had previously developed several contingency plans to prevent such incidents from happening, and these are now usable.

Ge Xing walked to the side, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

Shortly after, an elderly man answered the phone.

After Ge Xing said a few words, the other party hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, on Lin Mu's side, Che Mingxuan realized something was wrong and also suggested investigating the Warehouse.

Miao Lechen was naturally unwilling.

After all, the Warehouse contained a large number of non-compliant items.

Although he didn't know what it was.

But if these things are discovered, he'll be in deep trouble.

"Forget it! After all, I killed him in the game! I was also at fault, let's just let this matter go!" Miao Lechen said.

A cold smile played on Lin Mu's lips.

He knew that Miao Lechen was feeling guilty.

A cold glint appeared in Che Mingxuan's eyes. "Let it go? It's not as simple as just saying 'let it go' now!"

"Since there's a situation, we naturally need to take a look. If there's no problem, we will hold this person accountable according to the law!"

Miao Lechen exclaimed anxiously, "It's just a small matter, is it really necessary to make such a fuss!"

"Is it necessary?" Che Mingxuan raised his voice.

Miao Lechen didn't know what to do.

At that moment, an old man walked towards them.

"What kind of behavior is this, with a bunch of people gathered here?"

Upon seeing the newcomers, the people present all bowed slightly.

This is one of the Cafeteria managers, and also a Seventh Order expert.

They possess absolute authority and power within the academy.

"Elder Zhou!"

"Elder Zhou!"

Che Mingxuan and the others shouted.

"What happened? Why are you staying here, making yourself a laughingstock for so many people?" the old man questioned.

"Both sides have their own version of events. One says it was because he killed the other in the game, which caused dissatisfaction, while the other says the other is a ruthless killer who stored contraband in the Warehouse. I'm still investigating!" Che Mingxuan said.

"It's just a minor incident, why is it attracting so much attention? What kind of behavior is this? Let them disperse first, and then we'll conduct an investigation!" the old man said.

Lin Mu frowned slightly.

He knew very well that the old man's appearance was timely.

With the Qin family's influence, getting someone like that to step forward wouldn't be difficult.

"Yes!" Che Mingxuan dared not disobey and immediately replied.

"Bring them to my office, and I will question them myself!" the old man said again.

In this way, everyone will disperse, and the Warehouse will be left unattended.

In the era of Space Bracelet, it was easy to take things with you.

By then, even if someone wanted to investigate, there would be no way to prove anything.

"Wait!" Lin Mu called out.

The old man looked at him, and a sense of pressure descended upon him.

The oppressive force was extremely terrifying, like a huge mountain.

Lin Mu rapidly circulated his Divine Soul Power to resist the oppressive force, and spoke without changing his expression.

"Leaving like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to uncover the truth!"

"Are you saying that I would bend the law for personal gain?" the old man retorted.

His tone conveyed an unquestionable certainty.

"I didn't say that, but since we've come this far, why can't we open the Warehouse door in front of everyone and check it?" Lin Mu asked.

"There are many expensive ingredients in the Warehouse. If we open it rashly and something happens, no one will be responsible. Moreover, there are some powerful Fierce Beast in the Warehouse. What if they escape and cause casualties?" the old man asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The old man's words left him speechless.

But if he leaves now, his plans will fall through.

The other party might also seize upon his behavior to turn the tables on him.

"I find this matter very strange, but even if there are risks, we must..." Lin Mu said.

"Arrogant! When have I ever needed your interference in my affairs?" the old man rebuked.

The oppressive aura emanating from him was like an eruption of molten lava.

The terrifying force made it hard for Lin Mu to breathe.

It felt as if something was choking him.

"It's just about finding out the truth, why is Elder Zhou so angry?" Just then, a pleasant voice rang out.

They only saw a figure walking towards them.

A gentle Divine Soul Power descended upon Lin Mu, completely enveloping him and preventing Elder Zhou's oppressive aura from harming him.

When he saw the woman, Elder Zhou's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he immediately bowed slightly.

"Elder Tang!"

Tang Daidai's phoenix eyes looked at him, and a surge of Divine Soul Power, almost tangible, suddenly struck him.

Boom!

The terrifying Divine Soul Power seemed capable of tearing through space.

Elder Zhou's eyes were filled with fear, and he immediately unleashed a Fire Fist that struck towards the Divine Soul.

But the Divine Soul Power was stronger than steel, completely ignoring his Fire Fist and landing heavily on him.

Elder Zhou, who seemed to be in a superior position, retreated repeatedly, looking extremely disheveled.
