Chapter 42 - Chapter 42 The Beast with the Red Eyes Part 2

Diego and the others began. Diego and Mona watched Pasy, Nacht and Charlotte watched Mikes, and Kisa went to find and examine Emmy's body.

Diego: Hmm

Mona: Shhh Do not walk so loudly

Diego: But what exactly are we supposed to do What does watching even mean

Mona: Watching means watching

Mona sighed

Diego: How is that supposed to help us

Mona: We will see

Diego: Okay

They watched her. Pasy sat by a window.

Pasy: Hmmm

Mona: What is she doing

Diego: I do not know She is reading something A book No A sketchbook

Mona: You mean a cartoon book

Diego: Yeah But I do not know which one

Mona: Fine Nifa will handle that

She pulled out her fairy tale Grimm The Bremen Town Musicians.

Mona: Nifa Watch her

Nifa: Yes maam

Nifa went down.

Mona: Good I use Nifa for things like this because I can see everything she sees You can do it too Here hold this

It was a pair of glasses.

Mona: I only have one problem If I share it with you I only see through one of Nifa's eyes but it is fine

They used it. Nifa climbed above the library and looked at what Pasy was reading.

Mona: Hmm

Diego: Hmm Ugh

Mona: Oh Oh no What What is she reading

Diego: Oh That is not a drawn story No That is adult content Drawings and models

Mona: And why does it show so much Do they have no shame Oh They are huge

Diego: If it goes that far then I guess I have to do it here

Mona: Do what

Diego: Uh Forget it Something you would not understand

Mona: Whatever Now Nifa Get away from that dirty stuff Nifa Hello Huh

They looked toward the library. Nifa seemed to like the pervy content.

Mona: What

Diego: Bruh I did not know cats could be pervy

Mona: Nifa Come here right now

Nifa came closer and fell down.

A loud crash

Mona: Oh no

Mona hid.

Diego: Uh

Mona: You too, idiot

She pulled him down with her hand.

Pasy: Huh What was that

Pasy looked around and saw Nifa the cat.

Pasy: Oh Little kitty What are you doing Oh no Are you okay

She lifted Nifa up.

Pasy: Oh You are so cute You have big eyes

Nifa: Meow Meow Meow

Pasy: Awww You are so cute

Nifa: Meow

Pasy took Nifa with her and left the room. Only then did the two of them slowly crawl out.

Diego: Ugh

Mona: That was way too close Hey Pull yourself together

Diego: I want that book Go first

Mona: Shut up

She dragged him away.

Diego: No No I want to see those melons again

Mona: Uh What melons Oh that is what you mean

Diego: Then you show me yours

Mona: No Forget it We are leaving Later you can take the book

Meanwhile

Nacht: Hmm

Charlotte: Uh Blush

Nacht: Okay So far it seems fine

Charlotte: Hmm

Mikes sat on his chair.

Charlotte: Somehow Calm Suspiciously calm

Nacht: Mhm

Mikes: Hmm

Charlotte: Hmm

Nacht: Hmm

Mikes: Hmm Yeah Very calm

Nacht: Ugh

Charlotte: Huh

They turned around fast.

Mikes: Hehe Did I scare you

Nacht: How did he do that

Charlotte: I heard nothing

Mikes: As I can see you are watching me Listen I know why I think You think I had something to do with Emmy's death But I am sure you and I both know it was Pasy

Nacht: Diego and Mona are watching her Do not worry

Mikes: That is not enough If you want proof that it was her Come tonight to me in front of the Cave of Wrath

Nacht: But

Charlotte: That cave is forbidden A monster lives there, right

Mikes: Exactly Alright We meet tonight

He walked away.

Nacht: Tsk

Charlotte: How did he hear us so easily and spy on us

Nacht: Really pathetic The one we were supposed to spy on spied on us

Charlotte: Damn

Meanwhile

Kisa: Hahh

Kisa hid and snuck toward the morgue.

Kisa: This must be it

She pulled the cover aside and saw Emmy's body.

Kisa: I am sorry No one deserves this

She gently stroked her hair.

Kisa: We will find the killer I promise you

She examined the injuries.

Kisa: A wound in the stomach The organs are damaged

A sound behind her

Kisa: Huh

She turned and saw Luie.

Luie: Shhh

He was dressed in dark clothing.

Kisa: Luie What are you doing here

Luie: Nacht sent me

Kisa: Why are you wearing that kind of clothing Only someone from the morgue wears that

Luie: I did not want to be recognized I know about wounds My father is a doctor and my mother is a pathologist So I know this stuff

Kisa: Oh Look at the wound at the stomach I thought that was the cause of death But there is also something at the neck

Luie: Let me see

He examined it.

Luie: Neither the stomach wound nor the neck wound is the real cause

Kisa: What But then what

Luie: Look here

He turned the body so the back was visible The sheet fell away.

Kisa: Ugh

Luie: There is an injury on the back too And the damage went through the chest area

Kisa: Oh She suffered

Luie: Since she died in the infirmary she must have suffered a lot Look The cheeks have turned bluish That means she was gasping for air but could not get enough When the chest and lungs are badly damaged, every breath feels like being stabbed

Kisa: Oh no

There were dried tears under her eyes, and her tongue was severely injured.

Kisa: This is horrible

Luie: Only part of it was torn Why Why would someone do this to a student

Kisa: Did you know her

Luie: A little She was our neighbor She always acted mean but she was actually nice She took care of my cat when my mom threw it out I could not, but then I found out Emmy had been hiding it so no one would find it

Kisa: Oh

Kisa looked at him. Grief and anger were inside him.

Then

Kisa: Huh

Luie: Ugh Her eyes opened

Kisa: What does that mean Is she still alive

Luie: No That cannot be My mother said sometimes the eyes can open even days after death It is a normal reaction because some nerves can still react for a while

Kisa: Could it be that you liked her, Luie

Luie: Ugh Yes

Kisa: I am sorry

Luie: Me too

A few hours later

They met again in the rest room after class.

Nacht: And

Kisa: I did not find anything truly suspicious except that this is a brutally violent monster

Diego: We found nothing with Pasy that sounds dangerous

Mona: Mhm

Nacht: For us Mikes caught us

Mona: What Seriously

Charlotte: We do not know how That is really strange I would call it teleportation

Nacht: But I think I would have noticed Anyway He said we should meet him tonight to prove that Pasy is the killer He realized we suspect him

Mona: That honestly makes him more suspicious

Diego: Mhm

Kisa: Hmm

Nacht: We will meet him

Diego: Alone

Nacht: No He did not say that So you will come too

That evening

After the meeting time, they headed toward the Cave of Wrath.

Mikes: There you are I see you brought your other friends

Nacht: Is that a problem

Mikes: No

Charlotte: Fine Show us your amazing proof that you are innocent and Pasy is the killer

Mikes: Follow me

They followed him.

Charlotte: Hmm Something is wrong That is dark magic

Nacht noticed it too.

Nacht: Hmm

He looked at Mona She nodded.

Nacht: I understand They feel it too

They went farther until Mikes stopped.

Nacht: Are we there

Mikes: Yes This is the place Hehehe

Footsteps

Pasy: Run away Hurry

She suddenly arrived.

A black hole appeared behind Mikes and dark tentacles rose from it.

Mikes: Aaaagh

Diego: Ugh

Charlotte: Ugh

Pasy: Oh no Mikes Stop Please

Mikes: You should not even be here But whatever

Nacht: What is going on

Mikes: Oh You are confused Yes I killed Emmy The creature that did it acted under my will Come out Thes

A troll like creature appeared.

Mikes: I needed it for the ritual You have heard of the mage Lovecroft, right

Nacht: You mean the dark mage

Mikes: Exactly To gain the power of Cthulu I had to make sacrifices in multiple schools I have been doing it for 500 years

Nacht: Ugh Wait That means

Mona: You are the killer from the Sabeth von Heinrich school

Kisa: And you are the one who killed that boy almost 300 years ago

Nacht: But why now

Mikes: First My name is not Mikes Hendrikson It is Fredrik Dehlheim I changed it because I had to enroll in other schools I was in six schools Sometimes I was called Dren Sword, sometimes Hans von Petersburg, sometimes Steffan von Eisenhauer, sometimes Miroslov Großheim, and John von Heidelheimer I always made sure families took me in with my magic and mimicry I killed the real children and took their identity

Nacht: And why this time a family that is not rich, more like farmers

Fredrik: For the ritual Of course The sacrifice must be rich and be killed by a poor person Also I got tired of those rich habits and rich food I am not made for that

Diego: This guy is telling me he lasted 500 years but could not handle the last ritual

Fredrik: This is not the last The last one when it comes to sacrifices, which is why I got these tentacles The creature that did it, Thes, has been my partner for a long time I got him from some family I do not remember which My memories are not the best anymore

He looked at Pasy and smiled cruelly He raised his staff.

Fredrik: Do not look like that, Pasy

Pasy: You killed her

Fredrik: I did you a favor

Pasy: You are a murderer

Fredrik: Hehehe Anyway I am leaving

Diego: Oh yeah

Nacht: No Diego He is too strong We have no power against him

Fredrik: Hehe

A portal opened He stepped through with Thes He waved his hand and vanished as if nothing happened.

And so the investigation truly began.
