Chapter 64: The Shocking News (2)
As they made their way to Silent Hill University, Iris attempted to sense other people’s emotions on the street. Still, she couldn’t feel anything—it stressed her. She assumed she needed to be closer to her target to succeed, so she gave up trying.
However, when she glanced at Niles, a thought crossed her mind. She tried to sense Niles’ emotions, but just like with Xavier and Justin, she couldn’t pick up anything from him.
’Why do all three of them seem to have stronger mental defenses than me?’ Iris questioned herself, feeling confused and frustrated. It’s sad to have such extraordinary abilities but fail to use them on those close to her. Now, she felt a growing need to upgrade this ability; perhaps reaching level two would make her powers more potent.
After several failed attempts, she set aside her curiosity and focused on the street. However, upon their arrival at the main gate, Justin suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What on earth is this? Our professor is really a serial killer?" Justin was shocked as he read something on his cell phone.
"Which professor?" asked Niles, in the midst of parking their car, casting a curious glance at Justin.
"Alberto West!" Justin quickly looked at Niles before returning his focus to the shocking news on his device.
"How could he become our professor with a criminal record? If I’m not mistaken, he already worked at this university five years ago, right? Why doesn’t anyone know about him?" Niles expressed his surprise at the news.
"Indeed. Why didn’t anyone know about his crimes? And, you know what? Someone killed him last night. That’s why the police found out about him. This is crazy!" Justin exclaimed.
