“Molly Harveys…”
In the meeting room, a woman with glasses and a serious expression was interrogating Miss Molly.
“Do you know why Professor Youge committed suicide?”
“I don’t know.”
Miss Molly shook her head, her small face expressionless.
The woman frowned, seemingly displeased, and suddenly raised her voice:
“Then why was your name written in Professor Youge’s suicide note?!”
Miss Molly remained calm, shaking her head and replying:
“I don’t know.”
The woman’s brows immediately furrowed, and she slammed her hands on the table, standing up in anger.
“Don’t pretend to be innocent! Tell me everything quickly! Professor Youge was the pioneer of our academy! He was your mentor! Don’t you feel even a little bit of sadness or guilt?!”
Miss Molly paused, thought for two seconds, then shook her head again:
“No.”
The woman’s breath hitched, and she gritted her teeth, as if her forceful punch had landed on cotton.
She sneered a few times, mocking:
“A genius? Heh… just a monster not like a human.”
Miss Molly’s pupils contracted slightly, and the phantom image of gears flashed in her eyes, their rapid rotation showing signs of breaking down.
“Hmph, why are you looking at me?”
The woman sneered, seemingly pleased that Miss Molly had a reaction.
“All the clues regarding Professor Youge’s suicide point to you, yet you act as if you know nothing and care about nothing! What are you if not a monster?”
After saying that, she provocatively raised her neck, seemingly trying to provoke Miss Molly into revealing something.
However, the air hung heavy for a while.
Miss Molly still did not speak, becoming even more silent, her eyelids lowered, not even looking at her anymore.
‘Still won’t talk?’
The woman frowned.
It didn’t matter… As a seasoned Dean of Academic Affairs and a Dean, she had plenty of methods.
She slowly took a deep breath, just as she was about to change her approach to apply pressure, the door of the meeting room was kicked open with a “bang.”
Li Andy walked into the room, followed by a young instructor with a sweating forehead.
“Ms. Mapel, Miss Molly’s family is here,” the instructor quickly explained, wiping his sweat.
“Family?” Ms. Mapel frowned.
Li Andy spoke calmly:
“I am Miss Molly’s brother, and I am here to take her away.”
“Brother? I’ve never heard that Husband and Wife Harveys had another son,” Ms. Mapel said, slightly raising her chin, her high forehead showing her harshness.
This was a sacred academy, and with her background, she was not afraid of those upstarts.
As a result, Miss Molly, who had been silent for a long time, spoke herself:
“He is my brother.”
Ms. Mapel frowned.
Li Andy took out his inspector’s letter and handed it to the other party:
“Some emotions do not need to be confined by blood ties.”
“This is my identification. If you don’t believe me, you can also ask Mrs. Harveys for verification.”
“But before that, you have no right to detain or interrogate my sister. Because you are neither a police officer nor a judge.”
“Your professor’s suicide is your academy’s dereliction of duty and has nothing to do with my Miss Molly.”
Ms. Mapel narrowed her eyes, not opening the letter, but also not stopping Li Andy from taking Miss Molly away.
Just before the two left, she suddenly spoke:
“Professor Youge left a suicide note, which said, ‘Molly can deduce the key results of the research.’”
Li Andy paused and asked:
“What research?”
“I don’t know either,” Ms. Mapel replied.
“That’s why I had to interrogate her. If it truly involves some illicit research from beyond, the people who come after you might not all be as friendly as I am.”
Li Andy frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and still pulled Miss Molly out of the meeting room.
Miss Molly’s situation was special; even if she was involved in something bad, it was impossible for others to interrogate her.
“Andy brother…”
After only a few steps, Miss Molly suddenly stopped, her leg posture somewhat strange.
“What’s wrong?”
Miss Molly was expressionless, her lips not moving, but her voice echoed in Li Andy’s soul perception:
“Just now… I lost some control. The sensation in my leg joints is temporarily gone. Recovery requires spiritual body repositioning.”
Li Andy was stunned, not expecting such a way of communication.
He thought for half a second, then squatted down in front of the girl:
“Come on, I’ll carry you on my back, let’s keep it low-key.”
Miss Molly’s expression clearly froze for a moment, then she nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck.
The two, like real siblings, calmly walked out of the meeting room under Ms. Mapel’s scrutinizing gaze.
As they walked towards the elevator, four people with dim eyes were being led to Ms. Mapel’s meeting room.
Li Andy remembered those people; they were the students who had witnessed the professor jump from the building with Miss Molly. One of them was also the young man who had witnessed it downstairs with Li Andy.
“Who are they?” Li Andy tried to communicate using his soul thread.
Soon, Miss Molly’s voice echoed in his mind:
“Like me, they are Professor Youge’s students. The one with dark skin is Lasjin. The one with blonde hair is Daniel. The girl crying the most is Irene, and she is also Professor Youge’s daughter.”
“What about the one at the very back?”
Li Andy’s peripheral vision looked at the young man who had once stood downstairs with him.
“His name is Eric, a student expelled by Professor Youge, and also Irene’s close boyfriend.”
Miss Molly’s echo in his mind was soft, accompanied by the girl’s gentle breathing at his neck, as if she was secretly whispering.
“So, the professor’s daughter’s boyfriend?”
Li Andy couldn’t help but be stunned, feeling like there was some entertainment to watch.
If his deduction was correct, Professor Youge and Eric had a high probability of having visited the Forgetful Bookstore.
In the game, various pieces of information revealed that quite a few people had actually entered the domain of the Forgetful Bookstore.
But due to its rule of ‘forgetfulness,’ most people would not remember what they had done inside or what they had traded with the bookstore.
Based on Eric’s reaction when he witnessed the fall, he most likely inherited Professor Youge’s ‘memories.’
