I created my own system
Chapter 194 Finding Diary
"Mica be clear with your words and state what is bothering you"
I calmly told her seeing how her body was trembling excessively.
"Sorry it''s just, I was just overwhelmed"
I motioned her to calm herself first because I could see the tears that were forming in her eyes.
"Olena was like a sister to me...*sniff*...she always takes care of the younger people of our village..."
"And then just a while ago we received a message from Lena, that the priest who came to bless sister Olena''s body, noticed something on her"
At that moment I felt a lump of pain block my airway. An unpleasant conclusion forms in my head, while the report handed to me a while ago echoes through my ears.
"What happened that night" I began to say in my head while my friends especially the boys had the same reaction as me.
"Hey...." I heard Samael speak seeing how Mica couldn''t bring herself to the next words we needed to hear.
"Don''t tell she was...." he mutters though Mica heard his words quite clearly.
The little girl with her eyes full of tears began to nod her head and say "Yeah!...someone..hurt her and....they..."
Her body began to shake and couldn''t speak anymore. So I look at the other girl right beside her.
"Becky" I calmly called her, fortunately, it seemed she was way calmer than her friend though she couldn''t seem to speak about the issue as well.
"Here Apollo" she told me while her hand had an envelope with the sigil of the church of Purity on it. The black envelope with golden patterns seemingly branches of an olive tree. It was the symbol of purity and peace that the church advocated.
I felt heavy and somehow knew what was the thing I was about to see.
I took what she had given me and immediately sighed when I saw what was inside.
"It was an autopsy report"
My friends backed off as soon as they heard it. Maybe this is their way of showing their respect.
Silently I read its contents until my eyes landed on that Final Diagnosis.
Final Diagnosis:
1. Cause of Death:Suicide by loss of blood due to self-inflicted lacerations on the wrists. The decedent bled out due to a significant loss of blood from the cuts.
2. Contributing Factors: The decedent was a victim of sexual assault. Evidence of recent sexual trauma was observed, including contusions and abrasions consistent with the reported assault. Psychological stressors related to the assault, including trauma and emotional distress, likely contributed to the decision to end her life.
Autopsy Findings:
- External Examination:Multiple deep lacerations on both wrists, with evidence of significant blood loss. Bruises and abrasions on the torso and limbs are consistent with recent trauma.
- Internal Examination: No significant internal injuries beyond those consistent with blood loss. Findings are consistent with blood loss due to self-inflicted wounds.
-Toxicology: No significant findings of toxic substances.
Conclusion:The primary cause of death is suicide by exsanguination due to self-inflicted wrist lacerations. Contributing factors include recent sexual assault and associated psychological trauma.
These diagnostic findings were conducted under the parental consent of the victim.
Any mistake and forgery written in this document shall be answered by the Church of Purity and Peace.
Below those words were the written date of the examination, Olena''s parental consent their signature and the priest who made the autopsy.
Then at the very bottom right was the stamp of the church.
"This is very solid evidence" I can''t help but say.
An evidence that she was raped, we can definitely use this to hold the academy accountable.
[I think none of this place has what we are looking for]
"Same, I felt like we should have analyzed her personality and...."
Suddenly something hit me.
"A rose" I spoke mindlessly causing my friends to look at me.
"Rose?" they asked though the only thing I could do was smile, then I said.
"I think I know where the diary is"
I felt excited but immediately calmed down since I might be wrong.
"Jeremiah analyzes the overall information we have then comes up with places we should visit"
[Yes Creator]
After that, I looked at my friends and told them "Can I ask for your assistance?"
They smiled and gladly answered "Sure!"
And so that night the students of the lower class stay up all night to do some treasure hunting.
.
.
Cold chilly air glides through the trimmed grass of multiple lawns, while multiple silhouettes can be seen moving across the shadows.
There among the number of moving figures, a boy with red-orange hair can be seen, though he wears a hood his distinctive hair color makes it noticeable.
"Alright you got your targets right?" the boy with red-orange hair asked.
"Yup!" they answer while their hand has a piece of paper that seems to be their map.
"Also don''t forget the enchanted stone I gave you, if you lost it the defensive spells around the academy will detect you, so keep it safe"
"We will"
"Now then let''s see each other here in 3 hours, be careful everyone"
Then the group began to move in pairs and went secretly to their respective targets.
"We are here"
"A garden?"
"Yes Alicia, I heard Olena used to give roses to her friends and I think her garden is here"
"Here? An abandoned and burned laboratory?"
"Yeah, you know I think ever since her harassment began she started avoiding other people. So her choice of places to hang around would be her room or an abandoned place like this. However, even when she avoided everyone there is one person she didn''t avoid"
The boy said thinking that there was another meaning to that rose that he didn''t know about.
"How did you locate this place?"
"I ran a search spell where her presence is more apparent. Besides her room and classroom, this place has more of her aura"
"If we knew you have such a spell we wouldn''t bother going around the campus looking for her trace"
"Ah, sorry"
Then they went inside and there they saw a beautiful garden of roses. Both Alicia and Apollo felt like their breaths were taken as the scenery overwhelmed them.
