The Divine Hunter Chapter 25: The Forgotten One

After restoring everything in the room, Roy sneaked into the classroom on the first floor as if nothing had happened, and "observed" all the more than 60 people in the school, including Vivien and Cardell, and stopped at the respected principal. For the longest time, everyone's data fell into the category of normal people, including Kadel, who was not an expert in the world of games or a mysterious existence.

However, what surprised Roy a little was that Kadel, a human woman over forty years old, had a much higher physical fitness than an adult man, with an average attribute value of 7, and also had "well-trained", " Dagger Specialization", two skills. Roy doesn't believe it now that she has nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army.

……

After lunch, Roy found Miffin among the boys playing in the playground.

This pimple-faced, burly young man, who was about to graduate next year, initially ignored him, with his chin tilted up and his face full of disdain, and the word disgust was clearly visible on his big face.

He has always been jealous of the beautiful female teacher's "love" for Roy.

Until Roy gave him two crowns, Miffin immediately put on a smile and became eager to answer questions.

"Teacher Vivien's biological brother?" After listening to Roy's question, Mi Fen was filled with surprise on every pimple on her face, "You know, I have been in school for four years, and now I am here. A senior among more than sixty students, I have also secretly followed Teacher Vivian for four years. I can guarantee that she does not have any messy brothers and sisters. She does have several admirers like me. Well, the three girls over there. Did you see this brat with a shiny face? They are all the same kind. Don’t lie, you also have a crush on her, right?"

"Fight? Roy, you didn't have a fever and burned out your brain, right? Don't you think this is ridiculous? I haven't seen Teacher Vivien's brother, so how can I fight with him? I can't stand her. That alcoholic father is real. If I have the chance, I might actually cover his head and beat him into a pig's head."

Miffin's answer was consistent with Roy's expectation. He randomly selected a few students under the age of ten from a group of students laughing and playing in the yard, found an excuse to call aside, and asked about Regarding the situation of Teacher Vivien’s family, we still got the same answer.

Is anyone among them lying? Roy didn't know that he didn't have the Witcher's Axi Sigil to make people reveal the truth.

But it is impossible to let all such young children lie without hesitation. Their words still have a lot of credibility.

Roy glanced at Vivien, who was playing with a group of boys and girls with a sweet smile under the hornbeam tree in the yard. He felt regretful that the preliminary investigation was over. He was going to find a time to have a good talk with her. Talk to see if there are any other clues.

……

Roy and Vivien stood outside the living room on the third floor of the school, blowing the cold wind, watching the pairs of students and parents leaving happily under the leadership of Principal Cardell,

"Sister Vivian, I already have an idea about your 'brother'."

"Have you found any clues about him?" Vivien's beautiful eyes were full of expectation, her pretty face looked nervous and she took his hand and pulled him towards the room, "Did you make any important discoveries? ”

"Well..." Roy pinched his temples and felt uncomfortable speaking directly. "Have you asked the students at the school about 'him'?"

"Of course I asked," Vivien frowned slightly and replied helplessly, "Didn't I tell you before that no one acknowledged the existence of 'him'."

"Then what do you think?" Roy tried to soften his tone, "If 'he' really exists, why doesn't everyone in the school have any memory of 'him'? Even your biological child My parents don’t even remember there was ‘him’.”

"This phenomenon is completely unreasonable...but I have been investigating it privately for two years." Vivien clasped her hands into a ball and anxiously walked around the room several times. The bright light outside the window fell on her fair and flawless beauty. A strange sense of holiness was created on his face, "After excluding all possibilities, now it seems to me that there is only one reason for this phenomenon - the memory in all of our minds, about 'him' The memory has been erased."

"That's why I turned to you for help. Haven't witchers seen all kinds of twists and turns and bizarre events? Isn't there something similar - some mysterious thing took away my poor brother and then wiped it out Lost the memory of 'him' in everyone's mind."

"All erased?" Roy's pupils shrank when he heard this. This was the answer he was least willing to consider, but he couldn't completely deny it, but he had evidence to the contrary. "But have you ever thought that even if people's memories are erased, some things will not disappear."

"What do you mean?" Vivien looked stern.

"That enrollment form..." Roy stared into Vivien's eyes and said solemnly, "According to what you said in your diary, 'he' once attended school at Caddell House. And everyone Students will leave such a record."

"I won't hide it from you, Sister Vivien. I have already gone to Principal Cardell's office to investigate, and I found a total of more than 290 registration forms in the past ten years, including more than 60 registration forms in the school today. A student. But there is no record of your biological brother! That 'him' record. Do you know what this means?"

"You're talking about the registration form," Vivien shook her head slightly, her pretty face unable to hide her disappointment, "It doesn't mean anything... Roy, I am Principal Caddell's assistant, and I have free access to that pile of paper. , I already knew that there was no one belonging to 'him' in it. But so what?"

Vivien asked, "Since even human memories can be erased, is it difficult to erase a simple record?"

Roy was speechless. This woman was more stubborn than he thought. Convincing her was a laborious and thankless job.

Erase when you say erasure. Did you think it was the goddess Meriteri or the prophet Lebioda?

Where is the evidence?

Vivien continued to state her thoughts, "Roy, have you forgotten? In the few diaries you have read, there are some strange places, and 'his' name disappeared for no reason. You wouldn't think it was Did I leave it blank on purpose? Obviously, 'his' name has been erased along with the memories it brought to others. Only after it has been erased will the diary become empty..."

"Isn't this nonsense? What made you think this way?" Roy opened his mouth and was suddenly stunned. A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, "If it is erased, will it become empty?"

He pondered this sentence and fell into a trance.

When browsing the registration form - he clearly remembered that there were piles of detailed records mixed with several blank forms. He didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that Principal Cardell was using it to increase the number of students ~IndoMTL.com~ and passed it by for self-comfort.

But now I hear Vivien’s words——

"When it is erased, it will become empty."

So is it possible that the blank forms had records at first, but these records were all erased along with the missing students and the memories they left behind.

In the end, it turned into ordinary pieces of white paper that no one cared about.

"Will the memories about the missing persons and the texts directly describing the missing persons be erased?" With blessing in mind, a picture suddenly flashed back in Roy's mind——

"Roy, who drew a five-pointed star on your sleeve and only half of it?" Toya asked curiously.

"I don't remember...probably some naughty kid from Kadell House painted it on me while I wasn't paying attention."

……

Roy glanced at the sleeve on the left. The ridiculously childish half-five-pointed star drawn with charcoal had almost completely disappeared, leaving only a faint sharp corner. Other places seemed to have been cleaned countless times, not even a black spot was left. It's impossible to do this with everyday touch and friction.

"No, no! This star should not be half at the beginning, but complete."

In just two or three days, this simple mark was about to disappear. This was evidence that he had never expected.

"The traces left by the missing persons will also be erased. No wonder no clues can be found." It was as if an invisible hand was pinching his heart, and his breathing was rapid.

"This also means that since entering Cardell House, I have unknowingly forgotten one person - the student who left a mark on my sleeve."

"Now even this single trace is almost gone."
