Seven Sins System Chapter 158. A real Devil or An Impostor? III

I furrowed my brow, trying to piece together the puzzle. It was a big hint, and I think I already had an idea of what was going on. "Has he seen a doctor before?" I guessed.

"Yes. But the doctor said it was just a scratch and he didn't need to worry about it. As for the cause, he guessed it might be the result of being scratched by a sharp edge of furniture or something like that," Ion replied.

"Have you ever seen him act strangely? Maybe walking around aimlessly or something, like some kind of trance?" I asked, trying to gather more information.

"No," they said in unison.

"I see..." I muttered, deep in thought as I tried to analyze all the information I had just received.

"Do you think they did something to him without his knowledge?" Barry guessed, concern evident in his tone.

"I don't know. Maybe. But it seems I was wrong," I replied, trying to keep my thoughts to myself. No, he was right, but I couldn't tell them openly since they could make a fuss about it. The cult would probably cover its tracks, and I would lose track again. Some manipulation skills were that advanced, especially if they were being used by a demon. But in the past, mortals also had this ability, and they usually used it to commit crimes.

I decided to keep this information to myself for now and continue my investigation.

"This John is from your class, right? Which one?" I asked again, trying to clarify. I remembered there were two Johns in their class.

"Why do you want to know?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his tone.

"If he comes here, I want to do a quick checkup for his psychology. He probably experienced some sort of trauma that caused him to be like that," I reasoned, trying to ease his suspicions. Of course, I wouldn't wait for him to come to me. I would go up to him and read his mind myself.

"John Crowwind," Ion replied.

Once again, I furrowed my brows in surprise. "Isn't he from Theo's team?" I asked, surprised that they were still friends with him despite my bad relationship with Theo.

"Some of the members don't like him either. Mr. Theo was too arrogant. He didn't hesitate to humiliate his team with harsh words. Sometimes, if they weren't good enough, he would push them even though they were already at their limit," Ion explained.

I nodded my head as well. "Thank you for your hospitality," I replied.

After the guard left, I quickly took my stuff inside my bag, while the trio decided to leave without waiting for me.

"Bye, doc," said Barry.

"See ya tomorrow!" said Ion.

I replied with a wave and a smile.

Then they left.

A couple of minutes later, I left the infirmary, locked the door, and left in a hurry. I was running really late. As my legs moved, I checked my phone and texted Evie to inform my lateness.

I passed through a huge number of students who were walking down the corridor in front of me. It was a rare sight since so many students had moved to the dorms already. But as my ears could catch their conversation it seemed they stayed longer because they were talking about Theo and what happened this morning. Rumors spread very easily in this academy and Gem's loud voice made everything worse. I wasn't surprised by all of this.

Since the center of the rumors was me and Theo, they turned to me spontaneously. Some quickly diverted their gazes to other places once I looked at them while some decided to nod and smile as if it was a normal thing.
