"Hallucinogenic? That's not surprising. Wait, are you saying…" Delang had just waved his hand dismissively out of habit, but then a thought struck him. He stopped and looked at Eric.
"Perhaps Seric was seeing a vision when he died. Perhaps he didn't think he was committing suicide at all."
"That…"
"Of course, it's just a guess," Eric reminded him, seeing how nervous Delang looked.
"You're next! You! You! Everything here is cursed!"
Suddenly, a man burst out of the bushes to the side, rushing between Eric and Delang.
The man had short, pure white hair, but it seemed to be his natural color, as he didn't look old. He was about the same age as Delang.
His eyes were ringed with black, the whites shot with blood, and he stared wide-eyed at Delang.
His name was Belenga, the Dean's assistant, in charge of managing the library.
