No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1577: Nobody Says Anything
The mentors in the academy wouldn’t bring it up anymore.
Only the old principal and Professor Lawrence would reminisce about it occasionally.
After all, Hannah and Wayne Lane were childhood sweethearts at their prime.
"If that incident hadn’t happened back then, Hannah might have been married to our Mentor Wayne Lane by now."
"No way, where would you put the first princess? I heard she also liked Wayne Lane."
"Let’s stick to the story and not digress."
Indeed, a lot of time has passed, not a hundred years, but decades for sure.
The boy pondered for a long time, only remembering a gist of it.
For instance, the "Guest Inn" where Hannah and Wayne Lane stayed was actually called "Ghost Building" by the locals in Bruce.
Not because of any myth about gods or ghosts, but because many tourists who were unaware of the local rumors ended up staying at this inn and subsequently mysteriously disappeared.
Locals tried to investigate, but in the end, not even a bone was found; the only discovery was the floor full of bloody scratch marks, as if something had dragged them away.
But the strangeness lies in the fact that during these incidents, all the tenants on the same floor noticed nothing amiss.
After such incidents, others naturally wouldn’t continue to stay at this inn, and hurriedly packed their luggage to leave.
But it was at this time they realized that they couldn’t leave anymore.
Be it the main entrance they came through, the end of the corridor, or even the windows, all were sealed with bricks; all communication devices were in a no-signal zone.
It was as if they were isolated in a separate small world.
What happened next is something only Hannah and Wayne Lane would know.
The archives merely briefly recorded that the two were trapped in that old tube apartment for three whole days and nights, before finally discovering an exit in a small room on the first floor where they checked in.
Similarly, in that room, they found an old man’s corpse, apparently dead before their arrival.
The world is such, many things shouldn’t be pondered over in detail.
Such as those inexplicably sealed windows, footsteps and metallic scraping sounds heard at night, and those bloody scratch marks on the floor.
Later, it was rumored that a madman lived in the building.
The madman was a very talented Armor-crafter in his youth, but a series of incidents forced him to hide away in this building.
Being a madman, he naturally did not need a reason to lay hands.
On the day they came out of the building, Hannah had an injured hand.
It was cut by a chainsaw.
It was too dark at the time, and with screams filling the air and people pushing around, Hannah was pushed to the front.
Wayne Lane reacted quickly, but it was still too late.
At the critical moment, it was Hannah herself who bent down to dodge the attack, but her arm was still slashed.
After coming out of the building, the rest were crying aloud, and of course, some were cursing vehemently.
Hannah, however, covered her wound and walked to the side.
Among the guests in the building, only she and Wayne Lane were capable enough to confront that person, and realizing this, the others naturally hesitated no more and pushed these "two siblings" to the forefront.
Wayne Lane was also injured, but compared to Hannah’s wound, his was just a superficial cut.
Hannah rejected Wayne Lane’s suggestion to take her to the medical station for treatment, and just sat on the ground holding her wound.
