Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 98 I Also Envy Myself

"Can you take us to see the scene of the disappearances?" Liu Yuan asked.

"There are many locations where disappearances have occurred, all chaotic and without any pattern," Long Jiang said.

"Then take us to the area with the most disappearances."

"Shall we leave now?"

"Yes."

Thus, six people arrived at a university town.

There are two Spirit Control Academies here, and all surrounding commercial activities revolve around these two academies. It was just at the time of classes ending, so one could see many vibrant young men and women.

All were in pairs.

Xiao Zhan looked at them and always felt a bit miserable.

At the same age, they could enjoy beautiful lives in the academy, but he had already started to work hard for others.

"Hello, Director Long."

Along the way, they occasionally met one or two students who greeted Long Jiang politely.

"Are you familiar with them?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Long Jiang explained, "Not very familiar, but most of the missing people are these students. I’ve been to the academy many times for investigations, so their faces are naturally familiar."

While they were talking, they encountered a person who looked like a teacher.

"Director Long, I was just looking for you. The information you requested has been approved and I have already sent it to you. Please check."

"Okay, thank you, Director Zhang."

"It’s what I should do, all for the safety of the students."

Director Zhang didn’t chat much and quickly left.

Xiao Zhan watched him leave and curiously asked Long Jiang, "Who was that just now?"

"Oh, that was the academic director of Guangwu Spirit Academy," Long Jiang replied.

"What was the information you just asked for?"

"It was the personal data of their students, to facilitate the investigation. Since their academy is a private institution, they can’t easily disclose information. The impact of this incident was too big, so they agreed to give it to us."

"Oh."

"Let’s go check the small park over there, it’s a popular dating spot for couples, and many people have disappeared there," Long Jiang suggested.

"Alright."

The small park, while called small, was actually quite large, with mountains, waters, and facilities, a well-developed park.

It connected with a large forest nearby, blending urban and natural atmospheres.

As Xiao Zhan and his group arrived, they still saw many couples dating there. Despite the significant impact of the disappearances, it evidently couldn’t stop these young students from giving in to their impulses.

Xiao Zhan and his group carefully inspected the terrain and asked some students, but didn’t glean any useful information.

Soon, it was evening, and instead of decreasing, the crowd in the park had grown.

Xiao Zhan and his group decided to try their luck by waiting it out, but by midnight, there was still no sign of anything.

As the crowd started to thin, Long Jiang couldn’t take it anymore, "Let’s go back. There are many surveillance cameras here, so if something happens, we will be notified immediately."

"If surveillance was useful, we wouldn’t be completely clueless like this," Xiao Zhan said.

He had noticed the abundance of surveillance cameras, but despite the numerous disappearances, the cameras hadn’t captured anything.

It was partly because the suspects could block the cameras, and partly because young couples deliberately chose the blind spots for their rendezvous.

Long Jiang, not minding Xiao Zhan’s tone, simply said, "It’s indeed getting late. I’ve arranged for people to patrol here all night, so there’s no need for us to stay. After all, we have more important things to handle, right?"

That was the truth – duties needed to be clearly assigned.

If the leaders were busy with these minor tasks, who would handle the bigger responsibilities?

Xiao Zhan and the others could only get in Long Jiang’s car and return to the accommodations he had arranged.

"You all rest early. If you need anything, just call me; I’ll be staying in the dormitory building next door."

After settling them in, Long Jiang prepared to leave.

"By the way, how many days do you plan to stay here?" he suddenly asked before leaving.

Hearing this question, Liu Yuan was about to blurt out an answer, but Xiao Zhan interrupted him and looked at Long Jiang, "Why do you ask?"

"Don’t misunderstand, I just want to plan for the next arrangements," Long Jiang hurriedly explained upon seeing Xiao Zhan’s unfriendly tone.

"We aren’t sure about the specific duration. We came here in person; naturally, we expect some results before leaving."

"Okay then, that’s reassuring."

Long Jiang nodded and then turned to leave.

After Long Jiang had completely left, Liu Yuan turned to look at Xiao Zhan, "Do you think he has issues?"

"Not necessarily, but it’s still necessary to stay vigilant."

"Right, that makes sense."

Liu Yuan nodded and then entered his room.

However, as he was closing the door, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong’s intimate gesture, and couldn’t help but show a hint of envy, "A Life and Death Contract is indeed great. So young, and yet they can stay in the same room, I’m really envious."

He and Xu Qing were staying separately.

Normally, even in an equal contract, as long as the relationship is good, they could stay in the same room.

But clearly, Liu Yuan and Xu Qing’s relationship hadn’t reached that stage.

Xiao Zhan knew the reason, which was that one or both parties were not quite satisfied with their current contract partner and were looking for someone better.

This phenomenon was common among those below Third Grade.

However, it significantly reduced after reaching Fourth Grade.

Because the Battle Spirit Form at Fourth Grade required mutual understanding and fusion from both parties, and once fused, if you change your contract partner, then the Battle Spirit Form would disappear.

Although the strength and realm would remain, the time and energy wasted to fuse a new Battle Spirit Form with a new contract partner could be measured in years.

It was not worth it.

Thus, this qualitative improvement in strength also acts as a forced constraint on loyalty.

This era was much better than Xiao Zhan’s era of frivolity.

Loyalty was the main theme of this era.

About Liu Yuan’s envy, Xiao Zhan just smiled, "I envy myself too."

Saying so, he wrapped his arm around Ye Youlong’s waist.

In his previous life, he was a single dog, but in this life he had a wife, and such a beautiful one at that, why not show off all the time?

"You..."

Seeing this arrogant scene, Liu Yuan almost wanted to throw his size 42 shoe at Xiao Zhan’s face, one that stuck so hard it couldn’t be pried off.

This was just too annoying, excessively hounding the single!

Unacceptable!

Bang.

He shut his door, not wanting to see Xiao Zhan’s smug face anymore.

A wave of disdain surged in his heart.

"I envy myself too~"

"Ugh...!"

Liu Yuan twisted his waist and mimicked Xiao Zhan’s tone, almost making himself sick.

Could these words even be spoken by a human?

This damn rotten smell of romance.
