"We searched Danyang Academy all night."
"The Academy was empty, not a soul to be found, and no clues were discovered. After checking the list, it turned out everyone who was absent yesterday had vanished. We then deployed hounds and found more than ten corpses in the back mountains."
"Identified by the students of the Academy, they were the abbot, the bookkeeper, the treasurer, and the servants who worked at the Academy."
"Only the Sacrificial Officer Liu Danqiu was nowhere to be found!"
Zhou Kai's eyes narrowed slightly, "He has no family?"
The Thousand Households garrison commander bowed respectfully and said, "I have already inquired about this. This Liu Danqiu is a Confucian Magician who originally lived in Guizhou City."
"Ten years ago, the Maitreya Sect started a rebellion in Guanzhong and subsequently, a plague emerged on the battlefield that spread to Ezhou. All of Liu Danqiu's family contracted the disease and died, leaving only a grandson."
