If they were extraordinary beings or had undergone rigorous training, they would not panic at a fire of this magnitude. It was obvious that most of the people in this monastery were ordinary people.
It's not like at the Seimei Shrine, where the seemingly amiable priest can just pull out a sniper rifle and shoot someone in the head accurately.
Or they could skillfully form military formations and use rocket launchers to carry out blanket bombing.
It seems that the opponent this time will not be too outrageous.
This made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and he once again relied on his powerful five senses to blend into the crowd and observe some corners around the monastery.
Since she was caught the moment she sneaked in, Candice must have either used a camera or had the ability to conduct reconnaissance of the entire monastery.
Li Muzhi pretended to be a passerby and walked around the monastery, but did not find any camera facilities.
It seems that Candice does have some secret technique for surveillance, which directly cuts off the method of sneaking in.
At this time, the fire in the monastery had been put out and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
If he continued to stay here, there would be a risk of being exposed. Li Muzhi looked around but did not see Fujiwara Akane.
For now, it seems safe here, at least for the time being.
Li Muzhi blended into the crowd and left first before making plans.
I returned home quickly, had dinner with my aunt, and then went back to my room alone.
He didn't want to involve his aunt in this incident.
From the intelligence gathered so far, it seems that this monastery uses believers and good-looking women to build closer relationships.
Then he was brought into a monastery and became a believer.
Candice has the ability to bewitch people, giving those girls who are recruited into the church a certain psychological comfort, so that they become novice nuns in the convent.
Secondly, she is a superhuman, and in the previous battle, she was not given many opportunities to attack.
So his real strength cannot be seen, but his spiritual power is higher than mine, otherwise it would be impossible for the shield formed in such a hurry to block the Fox Fire Bullets.
What people care about most is the black parchment book, which is a special prop similar to the boy cutting saddle steel.
After inputting spiritual power, you can control the tentacle monster.
Other abilities unknown.
The next day, when Li Muzhi just arrived at school, he saw Shangshan Xia Xiang standing at the door of the classroom with an anxious look on his face.
Without paying attention to the looks from the people around him, he went straight up and grabbed his arm.
"Has my mother contacted you?"
"Ah?" Li Muzhi looked down at her anxious face and had a bad feeling in his heart: "Your mother is missing again?"
Shangshan Xiaxiang's expression froze, and his face suddenly turned bad. He stared and said, "Why do you say again?"
"Ahem." Li Muzhi looked around. The class hadn't started yet, and the classmates around them looked at the two of them with complicated looks.
Knowing that this was not the place to talk, he held Shangshan Xiaxiang's hand and said, "Let's go to another place."
It was already this late and there was no time to care about classes, so the two went to the rooftop together.
"So Mrs. Uesugi disappeared the night before yesterday?"
“Yeah…” Uesugi Xia Xiang’s face was full of worry and his eyes were full of helplessness: “Occasionally, I would stay overnight in the Metropolitan Police Department because of overtime work.
So I didn't pay much attention to it during the day yesterday, but he didn't come back last night and he didn't answer my calls.
If he was busy, he would tell me, so I was worried. ”
"Disappeared the day before yesterday?" Li Muzhi knew more clues than her, so his focus was naturally different.
Mrs. Uesugi disappeared after investigating the monastery. He would never believe that it had nothing to do with Candice.
But the problem is that when he sneaked in yesterday, he didn't see the beautiful concubine Uesugi.
She didn't even have time to tell Uesugi Xia Xiang, it was obvious that she had encountered an unexpected situation.
He placed his hands on Shangshan Xiaxiang's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said seriously:
"Don't worry, I have a clue. Just go to class normally and don't arouse other people's suspicion. Your mother will find it out."
When Uesugi Xia Xiang saw his determined eyes, his originally anxious expression eased a little.
Nodding seriously: "Okay, Mom, I'll leave it to you."
"Okay, ask for leave from the teacher for me and say that I'm not feeling well." After saying this, Li Muzhi turned around and walked quickly downstairs. He had originally planned to observe for a few more days, but now it seems that he has no time.
Shangshan Xiaxiang looked at his back, with a touch of emotion on her face, and said as if she had made up her mind: "If you rescue my mother, I will support you!"
She didn't know that Li Muzhi was investigating the monastery, she just thought that he chose to step forward when he heard that his mother was in danger.
At this moment, she felt that even if Li Muzhi became her stepfather, it would not be so unacceptable.
Li Muzhi was walking down the stairs. He staggered when he heard her words and waved at her.
This time he went directly to Fujiwara Ryoko's office. She chose to find Fujiwara Akane yesterday. The Fujiwara family might be able to help him.
They can't possibly watch their daughter become a nun.
When I opened the office door, I saw Fujiwara Ryoko sitting at the desk with a mobile phone in her hand.
Seeing him suddenly come in, the cold beauty kept her expression unchanged, but quickly put the phone back into her pocket.
However, with Li Muzhi's eyesight, he could clearly see the familiar number on the phone the moment he turned it over.
Obviously, if I had arrived a little later, I would have received her call.
"Is there something wrong?" Fujiwara Ryoko had a cold expression. She certainly didn't know that Li Muzhi saw her phone screen clearly in an instant.
"Let me talk to you about Fujiwara Akane." Li Muzhi had no interest in exposing the thoughts of this stubborn tsundere, so he took the initiative to speak: "She went to the monastery to be a novice nun, right?"
Fujiwara Ryoko's eyes flashed with surprise, but she immediately hid it, her tone still cold: "Are you concerned about her?"
Chapter 197 Bullying the Ice Beauty
"She is also my friend. She hasn't come to school for a few days, so naturally I have to ask her." Li Muzhi leaned casually on the desk.
Fujiwara Ryoko was silent for a few seconds before she slowly spoke: "That is her own choice, we will not interfere."
"Hmm?" He didn't expect this answer. He originally thought that these political families would have strict control over the next generation just like they do on TV, but now it seems that they are unexpectedly open-minded.
However, this answer also means that the power of the Fujiwara family cannot be relied upon in this incident.
If Fujiwara Akane really wanted to become a nun, he certainly had no right to interfere.
But now that he knew there was clearly something wrong with the monastery, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
Sister Candice can summon tentacle monsters, so there is no way she can be a real nun.
Li Muzhi looked at Fujiwara Ryoko again. When he just entered the room, she was about to call him.
Obviously she wasn't as indifferent as she just said.
However, given Fujiwara Ryoko's cold personality, it is difficult for her to take the initiative to ask for help, otherwise she would not be sitting here alone, hesitating with her phone in her hand.
The two of them just stared at each other, and for a moment the office became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"That monastery is not simple." Li Muzhi took the initiative to speak: "It is related to the recent kidnapping incident. You should have noticed something about it."
When Fujiwara Ryoko heard this, her already cold face became even colder. It was obvious that she also knew some inside information.
There was a struggle on his face. After a while, he seemed to make up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Please help me."
In fact, even if she didn't say it, Li Muzhi would have helped rescue Fujiwara Akane, but looking at the arrogant look of this ice beauty, he always wanted to play a trick on her.
"I don't remember us being so familiar with each other." Li Muzhi scratched his ears with his hands:
"And with the power of your Fujiwara family, Mr. Fujiwara is the deputy prime minister. Do you still need to beg me?"
Fujiwara Ryoko fell silent after hearing this, and after hesitating for a while, she said, "I hate him."
Without much explanation, just a few words have conveyed a lot of information.
It seems that Fujiwara Akane is not the only one who lacks love. Fujiwara Ryoko is madly infatuated with her aunt in order to make up for her desire for love.
But unlike Fujiwara Akane, Fujiwara Ryoko buried this feeling, so once it broke out, it would be so crazy.
"Okay, I'll help you." Li Muzhi didn't have much time to tease this arrogant lady, so he stood up and said, "I'll go rescue Fujiwara Akane."
After she finished speaking, she saw Fujiwara Ryoko still sitting there, in her teacher's uniform, still with an expression as if she owed her millions, and she showed no intention of expressing gratitude at all.
This expression is really unpleasant to watch.
"Hey, don't you have any intention of expressing your gratitude?"
Fujiwara Ryoko snorted coldly and looked at him with a proud expression: "We are just a trading relationship."
Li Muzhi was instantly furious. This Fujiwara Ryoko was really annoying. No wonder she had no friends.
He turned his head and glanced at the 30cm long black pointer on the table: "Since this is a deal, let's play a game."
Ten minutes later, Li Muzhi pushed open the office door and walked out.
Following behind her was Fujiwara Ryoko. She clenched her teeth and the moment she stepped out of the office, her high heels suddenly tilted and her body instantly lost balance.
Li Muzhi, who was standing next to her, reached out to support her first, and whispered in her ear:
"Be careful, the agreement will only be fulfilled if we return to Fujiwara Akane's house together, and only then will I help save your sister."
Fujiwara Ryoko glared at him with a frosty face, swung her right hand hard, and broke free from him.
He took a step forward and stumbled again, his brows furrowed.
But her stubborn character soon emerged. After only a few steps, she had returned to her usual cold and aloof appearance.
Li Muzhi was not in a hurry and continued to lead the way. He wanted to go to Fujiwara Akane's house first to look for clues. Fujiwara Ryoko followed behind in high heels.
The teaching building was not tall, only five floors, and he walked down with Fujiwara Ryoko.
During this period, many students and teachers took the initiative to greet this cold beauty, but ignored Li Muzhi who was walking in front.
Fujiwara Ryoko has only been in the school for a short time, but she has already become a popular female teacher like Aokawa Shimizu with her cold temperament and serious attitude.
Admired by students and other teachers.
However, unlike Aokawa Kiyomizu's maturity and charm, Fujiwara Ryoko is famous for her abstinence.
Arrogance, coldness, and severity are the expressions on her face.
