This was clearly a study. The bookshelves were packed with books, and Douglas sat motionless behind the desk, his face concealed in the darkness, making his expression impossible to see.
Just as Yun Feiyang thought something had happened to him, Douglas finally let out a faint sigh. He picked up a Scepter and stared at it, then went still again.
But Yun Feiyang was finally able to see his face clearly.
He was a white-haired old man with a rather decent appearance, like a kindly elder.
The guy remained frozen in that posture again, making Yun Feiyang seriously suspect that he had dementia.
Yun Feiyang waved at Mira, and the two left. If they kept watching, they might catch dementia from him.
They quietly made their way to Missionary Hard's window.
The window was tightly shut, but strange sounds could vaguely be heard from inside—and they were a woman's voice.
The two exchanged a glance. Yun Feiyang controlled a light breeze and silently opened the window, making the woman's cries clearly audible.
Mira's face immediately flushed crimson. Even though she had never experienced it herself, she knew what those sounds meant.
Yun Feiyang raised an eyebrow and poked his head in.
Well now. Two naked bodies were entwined on the bed, thoroughly absorbed in each other.
The man was a brawny Big Beard, while the woman was a voluptuous matron.
As a certain someone watched with great interest, he suddenly felt pain at his waist. Turning his head, he saw Mira glaring at him angrily.
Seriously, he couldn't even study a little?
Mira gestured for them to leave, but Yun Feiyang shook his head, nearly making her explode on the spot.
Yun Feiyang hurriedly formed a Wind Barrier around them to prevent their voices from carrying.
"We came here to investigate. Why leave?"
"Y-you... Pervert! I never thought you were this kind of person!"
Was this really investigating? He clearly just wanted to watch a live show.
"What kind of person am I? Don't go slandering me. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
"Then why aren't you leaving?"
"You don't understand. Afterward is when people are at their most relaxed. If you want to hear secrets, that's the best time."
Mira was only half-convinced. "Really?"
"Of course. I guarantee we'll probably hear something soon."
"No, wait!"
Mira stared at him intently. "Why are you so familiar with this? How old are you? Just as I thought, you're a complete Pervert!"
"Ahem... Well... I definitely don't have any experience. My Guild Master told me about it. He's an old hand, so he can't be wrong!"
"That Little Old Man?"
"Yes, him. He'll be your Guild Master too."
"I don't want that kind of Guild Master! That old pervert—you men are all no good!"
"Yes, yes, you're the good one, all right? Anyway, just wait!"
Why did that sound so wrong?
"You're the thing!"
After shooting him a glare, Mira stopped making a fuss.
But the sounds from inside kept drifting into her ears, making her increasingly uncomfortable. Leaving wasn't an option, but staying wasn't either.
In the end, Mira lowered her flushed face, her entire head feeling dizzy and muddled.
Who was she? Where was she? What was she doing?
Meanwhile, a certain someone poked his head over again and watched with great interest!
"Ooh, they've got quite a few tricks!"
Only when the two inside finally stopped did Yun Feiyang poke Mira. To his surprise, she startled like a frightened rabbit and was about to scream.
Yun Feiyang was so frightened that he hurriedly covered her mouth!
Mira's eyes widened in terror. What was this guy trying to do? Could it be that he wanted to...
No, no, absolutely not!
And this was the wrong place, too!
"Don't make a sound. They're done and talking now!"
Only then did Mira let out a sigh of relief.
The two pricked up their ears and listened to the conversation inside.
"Do you think Job and Hoyle were really killed by the Demon?"
That was Nun Adeline's voice.
Mira muttered, "Shameless slut!"
Nuns were supposed to keep themselves chaste and could not marry or have children. Adeline had been having an affair with a man, sullying the sacred profession of a nun.
Yun Feiyang was not surprised. Where could there be so many truly devout people in this world? They were all the same.
"No, Douglas said that wasn't a real Demon. It was very likely that person from back then!"
"Him? No way, didn't he fall off a cliff back then?"
"But they never found his body, did they?"
Yun Feiyang and Mira exchanged a glance. They had to be talking about Steve.
"You mean he came back for revenge?"
"Very likely. Otherwise, why were Job and Hoyle the ones who died?"
"Th-then what do we do? I'm so scared!"
"Don't be afraid. That piece of trash can be dealt with using one hand. Just don't go out for the time being!"
"That's all we can do!"
Sure enough, everyone at the church had been involved in what happened back then!
"I have to go, or that old man will come looking for me and won't find anyone!"
"Go on. Come see me again tomorrow!"
Then came the rustling sound of Catherine getting dressed, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing as she left.
"What did she mean? Why would Douglas go looking for her in the middle of the night? Could it be that even the Priest..."
What a messy circle!
"I'm not interested in what kind of relationship they have. I only want to know the truth about what happened back then!"
Yun Feiyang jumped in directly through the window.
"Hey, you..."
Mira could only climb in after him.
"Who's there?"
Hard had only managed to demand an answer before shackles formed from wind bound him.
"Mirajane, it's you! Who is he? What do you want?"
Yun Feiyang leisurely sat down in a chair and said, "Tell me the truth about five years ago."
Hard's expression shifted slightly as he played dumb. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"You won't talk?"
With a flick of Yun Feiyang's finger, a Wind Blade sliced a wound across Hard's body, and blood began to flow.
Hard cried out in pain and widened his eyes. "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
"Talk, or I'll let you experience what it feels like to be sliced into a thousand pieces!"
He was merely a somewhat stronger ordinary man. Yun Feiyang could handle him however he pleased.
There were no Mages in this village. If there had been, the Village Chief would not have sought help from the Guild.
"Mirajane, who exactly is he? What exactly do you want?"
Mira said expressionlessly, "We only want to know about what happened five years ago. What did you do to Kathy and Steve? And my parents—did they really die in an accident?"
"You..."
Hard said in terror, "How much do you know? Why do you know?"
The Wind Blade cut across him again, adding another wound to Hard's body. The pain made cold sweat stream down his face.
Yun Feiyang threatened, "We're asking the questions now, not you! Tell us everything that happened back then in detail, or I'll cut off that thing of yours first."
Mira glared at him. There was a lady here—could he watch his mouth a little?
"I... I... I..."
Hard struggled for a moment. Seeing Yun Feiyang's finger move again, he hurriedly said in fright, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you all of it!"
"What exactly did you do to Kathy back then? Talk!"
"She..."
Just as Hard was about to speak, a scream came from outside, piercingly shrill in the quiet dead of night!
"It's Adeline!"
"Oh no!"
Yun Feiyang immediately grabbed Hard, pulled Mira along, and rushed outside!
