Chapter 225: Hearing His Voice!

The authorities couldn't find anything. How could they when Tyler had hidden the files inside the system inventory? The black-haired youth first pretended to be asleep, but when other dorm students in the room started waking up, he had no choice but to open his eyes as well. He rubbed his eyes and acted as if he had just woken up from his sleep.

"What's happening here?" He asked and deliberately made his voice sound as if he was irritated after waking up so suddenly in the middle of the night. Then after seeing the faces of those authorities, who had paused their work and stood awkwardly at the side, Tyler made a surprised expression on his face. "Is something wrong?"

Then before he could say another word, the ex-female lead marched forward and grabbed his collar before glaring at him. "You! Tell them how I shut you inside the storeroom for the entire evening!"

Tyler tilted his head as if he was confused. He knew what this girl did to him, but others shouldn't have known that. So he was free to act as if wanted. "What're you talking about?"

"What am I talking about?!" The girl's anger flared as her fingers tightened on his collar. "I can ask those people who made you unconscious and prove that you were really inside the darkroom!"

She was talking about the boys from her class who had helped her dragging his body inside a storeroom. But Tyler knew that no matter how much they would want to bring Tyler down, they would utter the stories of their crime before the authorities. Instead, they would turn their backs to this girl and make her seem bad. So he continued acting like he was wronged for some reason.

"What're you talking about?" Tyler's hands reached out to her forehead and said with a hint of worry in his voice, "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Mae Whan got so angry that she couldn't say a single word. She simply pushed the hand away that was still touching her forehead and said, "You think I won't dare to find those people?! Just you wait!"

But before she could rush out of the dorm to find those boys who had helped her earlier, the authorities interrupted. "Stop it. Just go back to your dorm."

"But sir…"

"I said go back!" The one who said this sentence was the director of this school, and it seemed as if his patience was thinning every second. There was an irritated look on his face as he glared at the ex-female lead.

The girl pursed her lips and turned back to the door. But before going, she glared at Tyler and then rushed out.

After she was gone, the authorities stood there awkwardly and moved out one by one without offering any explanation to anyone. The last remaining person was the director, who was also feeling awkward. To be honest, they had searched this place thoroughly, and they didn't find anything. And none of the things inside the office were stolen, especially not the files about fifty years old.

So the director thought that it might have been a false alarm. He pressed his lips in a thin line and shook his head before heading out as well without explaining anything.

The students were baffled as they stared at the back of the director and exchanged a confusing glance.

"What was that all about?"

"Why were they here?"

"It's creepy!"

"The heck, man, I was going to say the same thing!"

Tyler watched others chit-chatting. So he lowered his head and laid on his bed again before closing his eyes. It was good that he had saved those documents in his inventory.

At the side, the male lead saw this process while leaning on the wall. His arms crossed on his chest as he glanced at the door indifferently. "I'll get back to them sooner or later."

Tyler didn't waste a minute before handing over the evidence to the police the next day before taking the pics and posting it on social media, similar to how the female lead had done in the original storyline. Soon, a hoard of anchors from renowned news channels came there with cameramen and stood before the school's front gate. They were all trying to break inside when the director came out and glared at all the media people outside.

"If you continue to break inside the school authority, I'll contact the police! You're all going to the police!"

The mass of people stopped, but they still screamed out their questions at the top of their voices. "Sir, is it true that the director before you, your father, had tried to hide a crime?"

The current director was already old enough, and the one before him was the person who was still managing the school. That director had also hidden the news from the media and changed it from murder to suicide. When this news came out, the public, especially the students who were still studying in the school, were angry.

"Yes! We want answers!"

"Do you know who released those documents online?"

Even the director wanted to know that! No one was able to figure this out since Tyler had used an anonymous account for this purpose. 

And like that, everyone continued to pop one question out of another. The school director was just rubbing his forehead when he heard many cars stopping right before the gate. After a while, the parents of the students still inside the school came out with angry expressions on their faces.

They all glared at the director and collectively demanded that they wanted the director to surrender and demanded answers from the trustees of this school. Some were so angry that they started breaking stuff at the school premises.

Just then, everyone heard the sound of a police siren, and their bodies stiffened. They all stopped what they were doing.

Even the director's body relaxed. He didn't know who it was that called the police, but they indeed were at the right time. Just as he was about to go toward the police and greet them, he froze, seeing their angry faces. The police officer gestured to the guards behind him and said, "Bring him down!"

Before the director could do anything about it, everyone took the old man and dragged him to the police van.

Everything happened so fast that no one had the time to figure out what had happened. They even brought the school trustees to the station and started their inquiry. The students were given a break for a month so that the school authorities, who weren't involved in this crime fifty years ago, could manage everything.

Many students even left the school.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Tyler. He simply left his school and didn't even go back to the original Nam Ji's house. He ran away from school with a ghost male lead following behind him.

For his entire life, he did freelancing and hacking jobs that paid him well while remaining low. He hid his identity well and even changed his name to Tyler. The male lead had followed this person all his life with a hint of longing in his eyes. He knew that this person loved him, but not being able to be seen by his baby felt like an arrow that was pierced through his heart.

Tyler never married, nor did he make any friends. This human led a lonely life and only opened his mouth to say the necessary words. Even the male lead didn't try to communicate with this human since it was useless. This person couldn't touch anything, and even the hint of resentment that had made him powerful earlier was washed away when he saw all those people getting punished.

With no other attachment in his life, Ja Seok continued to follow Tyler until the latter was too old even to walk. At the last moments of his life, Tyler raised his weak eyelids and stared outside the window before opening his mouth. "Let's see each other again."

And before the male lead could utter a single word, Tyler left the body.

At a specific green space, a youth with silver hair opened his eyes and stared at the sky in a daze. Just then, he heard the notification sound. He opened the system, but he couldn't select the messaging inbox. He knew that it was a message from his senior, but he suddenly felt too tired because of the last world. He had come to accept the fact that he couldn't see his senior anymore in this life. Even though he still felt a trace of sadness in his heart, he didn't say another word.

Instead, Tyler continued living his dull life, and at one point, he even felt that he had become emotionally numb after so many years.

But now, when they were back in this space, and now when he could freely contact that person, he felt a trace of fear in his heart. What if his senior disappeared again? He wouldn't be able to take it the next time!

Just when he was starting to drown himself in his sorrows, a slightly hoarse voice echoed in the surroundings that emerged from the system interface.

"You should at least check your messages." Then that voice paused, and a soft chuckle sounded from the other side. "You will never change, Tyler."

The silver-haired guy was shocked and glanced at the system interface. The entire interface was in the pause position as if someone had forcefully hacked the system and made some changes.

He knew who it could be and was pretty surprised after hearing that voice. In some corner of his heart, it felt familiar to him, but he couldn't remember anything. But at this time, Tyler couldn't focus on anything. He couldn't even say a single word.

All he could do was stare at the screen as a dumbfounded person who had suddenly received the shock of the year.

This was his senior, wasn't he?
