The thunder rumbled.

It was noon, yet the sky was depressingly dark.

Helian Wei Wei did not stay any longer at Baili Jia Jue's.

She had other things to attend to.

According to Yuan Ming, the dead men mound was an accursed array that was constructed with dead bodies. As bodies were required to form the array, some people would have to die.

What she needed to do now was to assemble everyone and made sure no one was left alone as this would create a chance for the killer to execute his evil deed!

Therefore, the first thing Helian Wei Wei did after she left the Inferior Compound was to order Tu Sufeng to gather all the students.

The ladies of the Superior Compound from the wealthy families were the hardest to please. For them, the rainy weather was already unbearable, not to mention being cramped with the others in the humid and warm hall of the teahouse.

"What's wrong with the dean? Why is he adhering to the hideous woman's instruction?"

"Who knows? Sister Yun, do you think we should stay here with the others?"

Appeared bored, Yun Biluo shook her head as she gently coughed.

As a result, the discontent around the hall grew more intense.

Helian Wei Wei threw a glimpse at the group who were ranting before she put on a devilish grin, "Sir has said that the killer is within the compound of the White Academy. From what I see from the current situation, the killer will target the person who is left alone. Everyone is assembled here simply because we want to avoid all the possible chances where the killer can commit his crime. However, you can leave this place if you're fearless enough."

Her words silenced the atmosphere and quietened the dissatisfied ladies. The girls exchanged gazes with each other as they coughed gently, yet never uttered another word again.

"Haha, humans. It's true that you're all cowards," Yuan Ming scoffed while he studied the timid faces in the hall.

Helian Wei Wei tapped her thigh while she mulled over the situation. That was her discreet habit when she dwelled in deep thought. "I only want to achieve my goal. I've narrowed down the search area, I believe that the culprit is most probably among this group of people."

In actual fact, that was Helian Wei Wei's true objective.

She did not want to alert the killer.

Hence, Helian Wei Wei publicly claimed that this assembly was simply to prevent the killer from killing anyone.

However, that was only one of the minor factors she called for this assembly.

They reckoned that it was not a good call to sit back and helplessly wait for the killer to act. Then, it would be too late for them to counter and capture the criminal.

"I've seen the bodies," Helian Wei Wei spoke as she walked toward the students, "There were black marks on both the bodies and they appeared rather strange to me."

Frowned, Yuan Ming asked, "What do you mean?"

Before Helian Wei Wei could answer to Yuan Ming's question, Heize was brought back by two guards. He appeared composed as he stood gracefully in the middle of the hall as though he had just returned from a casual stroll, not looking like a criminal at all.
