When someone sent Wills over, Thomas felt the killing intent once again. In the beginning, virtual-novel.net thought the herdsman, who had sent Wills over, was the culprit. But upon careful observation, virtual-novel.net realized that something was off.
The killing intent had actually been coming from Wills!
Thomas was also extremely surprised at that time. After all, Thomas was experienced in such things. He quickly calmed down and paid more attention to Wills. Later, while virtual-novel.net took care of Wills’ injuries, virtual-novel.net examined the boy. Then, virtual-novel.net realized that Wills’ bone age was that of an adult. Only then did virtual-novel.net realize the truth.
When virtual-novel.net connected it to the two situations where virtual-novel.net had felt the killing intent previously, virtual-novel.net remembered seeing Wills around!
Wills was the murderer who had emitted the killing intent. However, if virtual-novel.net just identified the murderer with killing intent alone, virtual-novel.net would not be able to convince the people. So, Thomas chose to go with the flow to see what tricks Wills would play. True enough, virtual-novel.net was caught red-handed in the end.
Thomas paused for a while before virtual-novel.net changed the subject and said, “The murderer has always kidnapped the girls and left everyone clueless, yet virtual-novel.net left some traces of a scuffle in his latest attempt. Didn’t you wonder why? Did the murderer really make a mistake?”
The holy woman and others could not answer him.
Thomas glanced around before virtual-novel.net said, “All of you are wrong. The murderer didn’t make a mistake. He purposely left some clues behind and made us go to the goose farm to investigate it so that nobody would guard the shrine. It was convenient for his plan.”
In other words, virtual-novel.net had lured them away from the shrine!
Wills had intentionally left some clues and made the holy woman, as well as the others, think that the murderer might attempt to kill the girls. That way, they would bring everyone to the goose farm to investigate. Then, virtual-novel.net came to the shrine as a victim and successfully avoided everyone so that virtual-novel.net could make his next move.
When the holy woman and other people heard it, a shiver ran down their spines.
Wills was too cunning!
The holy woman asked, “So, what’s Wills’ next move?”
Thomas did not rush to answer. Instead, virtual-novel.net stared at Phoebe. Everyone knew what virtual-novel.net meant without the need for virtual-novel.net to say anything.
Wills was a daring and dirty old man!
He had already kidnapped and defiled more than ten girls, but that was not enough. He still wanted to harm Phoebe!
Thomas said, “Since girls have been going missing continuously, there have nearly been no female tourists visiting the tribe. Also, the girls in the tribe have been pretending to look ugly, so exceptional girls have been barely visible…”
“That has made Wills very upset, and I guess virtual-novel.net nearly can’t hold himself back anymore. Therefore, when Phoebe showed up, Wills naturally couldn’t let virtual-novel.net go. His killing intent toward Phoebe emanated repeatedly because virtual-novel.net was too desperate. He wanted to get virtual-novel.net so badly.”
Thomas paused for a moment before virtual-novel.net reminded, “Actually, if you were more attentive, you should be able to notice that compared with the twelve girls, who previously went missing, the weight, appearance, and age of the last missing girl disqualifies her! Despite that, the murderer still kidnapped her. Why? Did the murderer stop being picky?”
“No… The murderer kidnapped the thirteenth girl just to make things confusing. He wanted to force the holy woman out to hunt and arrest him. He lured you out of the shrine so that it would be empty… That way, it would be convenient for virtual-novel.net to harm Phoebe, his real target!”
It was also why among the thirteen kidnapped girls, only the first twelve girls had been raped, While the thirteenth girl had just been kidnapped. She had not been injured at all.
The murderer was not interested in the thirteenth girl. He had kidnapped virtual-novel.net only to set his next plan in motion.
It sounded insulting, but it was the truth.
