Chapter 357: Chapter 324 Discovering Clues

"The talk is easy,"

But after all, someone had hidden themselves inside a hooded robe, and this time external reminders weren’t allowed.

Otherwise, Jiang Xiao could have simply torn off the annoying robe to see who was actually inside.

But the current Jiang Xiao apparently had no intention of lifting the hood to see who was beneath.

"Are there any other tasks?"

Wang Dayong was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Since there are no more tasks, why don’t you take me to see your village’s private school and that so-called teacher? I have a feeling he’s up to no good. Killing him might just end everything."

Wang Dayong: "?"

"Uh, a teacher? I have been in this village for decades and have never heard of a teacher."

Wang Dayong’s tone was filled with innocence and ignorance.

Dragon Country Livestream Room: "?"

"What the heck, totally shameless."

"If it were you, would you dare say you are the teacher? A Peach Wood Sword would skewer your small intestine!"

"I’m really curious, who could this shameless, cowardly, and unscrupulous weirdo be?"

No teacher?

"Then what about the private school? That must exist, right?"

Wang Dayong looked embarrassed but indicated that this could indeed be possible...

What does ’could be possible’ mean?

Jiang Xiao had a face full of black lines, feeling that the person in the hooded robe might not be too bright.

The two of them, one after the other, arrived at the so-called private school in Sunset Village.

To call it a private school, it was actually just a large courtyard.

There was a large open space in the middle, and aside from the wall by the gate, the other three sides were lined with houses.

The design was somewhat reminiscent of the old quadrangle courtyards in Capital City.

"Bro, this is the private school."

"No students?"

The exterior wall looked quite new, but the inside seemed devoid of life, as if it had been abandoned for decades.

"Uh..."

Wang Dayong hesitated and said,

"There’s no teacher, so how could there be any students?"

That made sense~

Jiang Xiao didn’t overthink it, nor was he scared; he simply pushed open the gate and walked in.

Huh?

Although there was no one, there were quite a few dogs inside.

As soon as they saw someone approaching, they all ran over, making ’woof woof’ sounds.

"These dogs..."

"Oh, it’s been abandoned for too long; over time, stray dogs from around the area chose to settle here."

Is that so?

Jiang Xiao didn’t believe it and challenged the hooded figure—don’t stray dogs need to wander to find food?

Because the garbage in one area has its limits, once eaten, it’s gone.

For example, if stray dogs are in area A, after the scraps in area A are gone, they’ll move to area B, and once there’s nothing left in area B, they’ll go to area C.

And so on, stray dogs would move farther and farther away, as only through traveling could they find food.

If they stayed in one place, they might find shelter, but they couldn’t possibly trek miles and miles to find food elsewhere, then travel all the way back again, could they?

Moreover, Jiang Xiao had looked around the village, and there didn’t seem to be anything nearby for stray dogs to eat, especially since there seemed to be too many dogs here...

What the heck?

How did the logic of this mentally ill person suddenly become so meticulous?

The more Jiang Xiao spoke, the more nervous Wang Dayong got, starting to sweat profusely...

"Uh, maybe there’s a place nearby with lots of food for them to eat; dogs have a keen sense of smell."

There’s some truth to that...

Here at the edge of the large mountain, the village lacks food, but perhaps the area near the foot of the mountain might supply something for these wild dogs to eat continuously.

Seeing this fool deceived by his own success, Wang Dayong’s tense heart finally relaxed.

But what Jiang Xiao said next left him somewhat at a loss for words.

"But why don’t these dogs wag their tails?"

The wild dogs were silent, looking seemingly happy, but their tails hung down motionless.

"This..."

Now Wang Dayong was out of excuses.

If it were just one or two dogs without wagging tails, he might find some pretext, but dozens of them all not wagging their tails was a bit hard to justify, wasn’t it?

Fortunately, Jiang Xiao didn’t press Wang Dayong to spill all the beans; after all, in his mind, this man in the black robe was just a more important NPC—how could he know everything?

"Bro, let’s, let’s not analyze this for now, how about we find a household to eat at?"

Wang Dayong worried if he let him keep investigating, he wouldn’t be able to cover it up anymore.

He wasn’t in the mood to do anything to Jiang Xiao anymore, he just hoped he could serve him peacefully for three days and then leave.

Considering the time, it was indeed time for lunch.

"Speaking of which, the village eats meat, right? To be honest, it’s too greasy, is there anything lighter?"

Normally, there wouldn’t be, but since you asked, then there must be...

Wang Dayong told Jiang Xiao to rest first, and he personally went to gather some wild vegetables and mushrooms from the mountain to stir-fry for him.

He even considerately asked Jiang Xiao if he had any dietary restrictions, whether he preferred salty or bland, liked spicy or not, and if there were any greens he didn’t like.

Jiang Xiao:.....

This NPC from Sunset Village is too enthusiastic, isn’t he?

Dragon Country live chat room:.....

[Such a suck-up...]

[The sycophantic aura is pouring out of the screen, I’m becoming more curious as to which Kaidan this is.]

[No dignity at all, to think that as a minimum a small boss in this horror tale, is actually cooking for the Chosen One?]

[Could it be Yang Tao?]

[?]

[Third-floor brain-dead, that’s a lady, Yang Tao, plus she’s a human from Kaidan World Management, remember she also lost that "Deceitful Device Soul Separation", how could she possibly show up here?]

That’s a valid point...

[Definitely the antagonist, not a good spirit, otherwise, there’s no reason not to recognize Jiang Xiao.]

[Could it be the priest from that big cathedral?]

Everyone started wildly speculating...

"Time for food~"

Lying on a bed in a villager’s house, Jiang Xiao patted his stomach, curious about what delicacies the man in the black robe could make; the food made by that woman in the morning was quite tasty, if a bit too rich.

Wait a moment?

It seems like something occurred to him, and Jiang Xiao immediately sat up from the bed.

If he remembered correctly, the couple he ate with in the morning were talking about when their child would get a holiday from private school?

Admittedly, this was a world of NPCs, so possibly their child wasn’t actually in a private school.

But where was the child?

Forget private school, he hadn’t seen a single child in the entire village.

The youngest villager seemed to be ones who were already married?

The private school hadn’t had people for decades, and it’s full of dogs that don’t wag their tails?

This...

When Wang Dayong arrived, carrying plates of food in a hurry, he found Jiang Xiao was already at the door of the private school.

"Bro, it’s mealtime; what are you doing here again!"

Wang Dayong waved him over for the meal.

Jiang Xiao didn’t so much as turn his head back and gestured with his hand, shouting at the same time.

"Come here, I think these dogs might not be dogs."

Wang Dayong’s body stiffened on the spot.
