After the meeting, the teachers naturally went home to rest, but many of them had no way to rest tonight.
After step-by-step investigation, we are getting closer and closer to the final answer, which means that it is possible to face the Faceless Man at any time.
The enemy's activity range was limited to a one-kilometer radius centered on the school. With the help of Nozdormu's Staff, Kel'Thuzad was able to see that the shadow curse nearby was already so intense that it was outrageous.
Kel'Thuzad subconsciously tightened his grip on the Staff of Nozdormu.
"This is too scary. There is a curse covering a kilometer in radius! We must find the core of the curse, but we must be careful when doing this now. Any excessive movement may alert the enemy."
In order to prevent alerting the enemy, Kel'Thuzad did not even dare to expand the range of time magic too much, and Jack carefully observed with the Eye of Holy Light.
The investigation went on slowly all night, until Kel'Thuzad and Jack stood at the school gate at four in the morning.
"I can't believe that...the enemy is hiding in such an obvious place, but we have always been ignorant!"
Jack looked at the store that opened majestically in front of the school, and for a moment he felt so angry that he felt tight in his chest and dizzy.
Kel'Thuzad was too lazy to have so many emotions and tugged on Jack's sleeve.
Of course I am looking for a place to set up shop. I have to prepare breakfast in advance. If I wait until dawn, the children will not be able to have breakfast. What are you doing here? Are you not on a mission when you come out at this time? Will I?
Will it interfere with your business?"
"Jack? What are you doing?"
The owner of the stationery store is a troll. In addition to stationery, he also sells some novelty gadgets, so children love to go to his store.
"Are you really on a mission?"
But even so, the Faceless Man is still actively planning to attack again. Because of this, it will promote the small illustrations in such an abnormal way, because it really can't wait any longer.
The aunt nodded, not doubting the legitimacy of Jack's purpose at all, and told everything she knew.
"Okay, I understand."
When he thought that the enemy was in the stationery store that day, staring at him with its vicious eyes, Jack felt a chill. Thinking of this, it was as if the stationery store itself was a big eye, watching them at this moment.
The lamp on the trolley swayed back and forth, and the aunt spoke slowly.
Jack did not rush to express his opinion, but continued to ask.
Jack looked annoyed again.
"In the past, Wu Jingren only sold stationery and promoted these things. Recently, he doesn't know what's wrong with him. Except for opening the door to sell his small illustrations when children pass by after school, he keeps the door closed the rest of the time. I don't know.
What are you tinkering with inside?
The two of them broke out in a cold sweat at this question, subconsciously thinking that the enemy was about to attack. Fortunately, they turned around and saw an old woman with a kind face, so they forcibly stopped.
Fortunately, this is just Jack's psychological effect, and the Faceless Man has no energy to spy on them at this time. After the failure of the last attack on the venue, the Faceless Man was so seriously injured that it could not even maintain its disguise all day long. If not
With the Eternal Dragon's time magic helping it hide its traces, it might have been exposed long ago on its own.
In the past, I just thought that Wu Jingren's behavior was because he was mentally abnormal, but now that you ask this question, I think about it carefully and think that he is really suspicious."
"Just tell me."
After the old woman said this, Kel'Thuzad immediately apologized for his shallowness just now. Although the breakfast seller did not have any elegant and systematic language, the situation and reasons she explained convinced Kel'Thuzad.
Having said that, Wu Jingren usually looks very kind. I have never seen him quarreling with others, so I had a very good impression of him for a while, but recently I found that this person is very
strangeness."
"Keep your voice down. We are already very close to the enemy. Now is not the time to relax. The three stores in front of us are too close to each other. With such a high concentration of curses, it is impossible to tell which one is the real enemy just by relying on magic.
.”
[Stupid slave, your last failure damaged my dignity!]
'It turns out that the sense of peeping that day was real! It came from this stationery store!'
As soon as the word "little illustration" appeared, their eyes lit up, and then they heard what the old woman said.
"Auntie, why is it you? You startled me by speaking so quietly."
So he pushed Jack away and came over and said with a smile.
"I saw someone here who looked like you from a distance. When I walked in, I saw that it was really you. You also surprised me. Why is there anyone else on the road at this time? If I hadn't recognized it was you,
I really don't dare to come over.
The breakfast aunt said in a low voice.
"Wu Jingren, the owner of the stationery store, I think he is the most suspicious."
"Auntie, are you saying that because the owner of the stationery store is a troll, so you think he is a bad person?"
"Auntie, are you familiar with these three stores?"
Just when the two of them didn't know what to do next, someone behind them asked softly.
The Faceless Man knelt on the ground and prayed tremblingly. In front of him was a statue surrounded by a circle of candles burning with cold fire. It was using the spiritual power it had absorbed during this period to complete the summoning ceremony.
"You, a young man, think that I am too shallow. I was actually a little afraid of trolls at first, but later I discovered that trolls are also very kind and easy to deal with. My son is a colleague of trolls, and he also brings
I visited my home with my colleagues.
The aunt said nervously, and Jack thought at this moment. If the target is one of the three stores in front of the school, then the aunt who sells breakfast will sell breakfast here every day, and she will definitely be able to provide him with some useful information.
“One of these three stores is a tailor shop, one is a stationery shop, and one is a dessert shop, and their business is pretty good.
His attitude is completely unlike what a businessman should have. If a businessman loses interest in making money in the blink of an eye, then I can’t even imagine what he is after.
On the surface, these three stores sounded normal, Kel'Thuzad said in a voice that only two people could hear.
"I'm more suspicious of tailor shops. School uniforms are something that every student must wear, and it's easier to tamper with the inside of the clothes. But it's still a bit strange to cast a curse on clothes that are changed every day and won't affect the people around them...
…”
Jack really couldn't say much at this time, he could only be vague.
"Wu Jingren is a good stationery store owner, but he does business informally and spends too much time on selling his small illustrations.
Jack said with a bit of laughter and tears that the woman in front of him was the breakfast seller who had given him sausages before. Kel'Thuzad was also dumbfounded. Jack was really an idol for middle-aged and elderly women. How come there were aunts and sisters-in-law who could talk to him wherever he went?
Talk.
The two first ruled out the plan of directly visiting the house to investigate. These three families are so close to each other. No matter which house they investigate first, the sound will attract the attention of the other two families. If the irritated enemy jumps over the wall, the situation will become uncontrollable.
The breakfast seller answered without any hesitation.
I have also taken a look at those little illustrations. They are colorfully painted with all kinds of crooked and inhuman things. They are not good-looking at all, but the colors are brighter. I don’t know what is good about them. Those children can’t even buy breakfast.
Watch it all the time.”
The aunt was concentrating on making milk tea. When she heard Kel'Thuzad say this, she raised her head and rolled her eyes at him.
The owner of the tailor shop is very smart. He doesn't just make money in daily life. Children's clothes often get damaged, but things like sewing buttons, patching, and trimming clothes are all free in his shop. In fact, this is a lot of money.
However, because of this, all students in the school order two sets of uniforms from him every year.
"Auntie, if it is said that there are evil elements causing sabotage in these three stores, who do you think is the most suspicious?"
The dessert shop is my hometown, and we were the first residents to come here during the evacuation of Stormwind City. Her craftsmanship is excellent and the prices are fair."
After torturing the faceless man enough, C'Thun's thoughts continued.
The key information appeared, and both of them pricked up their ears.
'My omnipotent Lord God! I have absorbed the spiritual power of many believers for you, and they will become the best offerings to you. Please show mercy to your most humble servant.'
Kel'Thuzad slapped his forehead. He felt that the answer to such an old woman's question was not credible at all. The old woman's words might be pure stereotypes. Kel'Thuzad still believed more in logical reasoning.
The first thing the ancient god did when his thoughts were summoned again was to punish him. He tortured the soul of the faceless man with his mind power, and the faceless man lay on the ground trembling in pain.
[The statue was destroyed, preventing my mental body from coming. The curse of the statue you made now is not strong enough to accommodate more of my power, but it is enough to support Hazax.
I'll give you another chance to let the super beasts raze this place to the ground! Then turn all the young believers you absorbed into servants and nutrients! If you can't do these things well...]
