Chapter 132. Chapter 132. They're not even going to act anymore.

She fell.

This is a normal development. Since no one can stop someone who is unreachable, and since they are literally unreachable, it means that the two people present were powerless to stop her actions and could only watch helplessly as she jumped off the rooftop, completing her suicide.

The girl wasn't walking very fast, but the rooftop was only so big. Moreover, she went straight to the edge of the rooftop with a clear goal from the moment she arrived, so the entire process, from her arrival to her fall, didn't take much time.

It was...quite sudden.

Tsukino and Chiya didn't linger for long. When Ohma Kokichi, who was behind him, also tentatively reached out but failed to make contact, he started walking again, quickly returning to the girl's side. He took out his phone with one hand to snap a picture of her, and then tried again with his other hand... but it still didn't work.

Then she fell.

Tsukino and Chiya, along with Ohma Kokichi, arrived at the edge of the rooftop and looked down.

The preparatory school buildings weren't low, and the rooftop was a height where a fall would almost certainly be fatal. Tsukino and Chiya had excellent hearing and eyesight. Looking down from the rooftop, they could see the girl lying on the cold concrete, bright red liquid flowing from her body; the scene was gruesome.

It's impossible for someone falling from a rooftop to make no sound at all. Although it was during school hours and no one had walked past where the girl fell, it was precisely because it was during school hours that the side she fell from was directly facing the windows on the outside of the classrooms. Someone should have seen her fall.

But so far no one has come downstairs to check, which may be due to the speed of the process... However, he also did not hear any commotion from any floor.

Tsukino and Chiya withdrew their gazes. He exchanged a glance with Ohma Kokichi, who had withdrawn his gaze even earlier, and remained silent.

A few seconds later.

"Whoaaaaaah—!!"

Wang Ma Xiaoji suddenly looked terrified, and screamed exaggeratedly as if he had seen something extremely frightening. He tremblingly stretched out a finger and pointed frantically towards the edge of the rooftop.

"She...wait? She just fell like that? She just fell straight down? She's dead...?"

Tsukino and Chiya: "Yeah, it fell down." Isn't it a bit slow to react to this now?

"How terrifying! Why would such an incident suddenly occur in broad daylight?! And to commit suicide by jumping off a building in such a horrific manner, could it really be the mysterious black notebook at work?!"

"Well, it's not impossible, is it?"

"...A living person fell right in front of him, and Kozuki Kazuya remained so calm and collected. It's so cold-blooded and suspicious. Could it be that Kozuki Kazuya orchestrated all of this? This attitude will make him look like the murderer! He's not even bothering to act anymore!"

Tsukino and Chiya: "But, isn't it true that my reaction being completely unreactionful is the most consistent with my persona?"

Wang Ma Xiaoji: "Huh? Thinking about it carefully, it really does seem to be true!"

Tsukino and Chiya's voices remained unchanged from beginning to end, and Ohma Kokichi's attitude also returned to normal from his previous panicked and slow-to-react state... although this normalcy seemed even more abnormal in the current situation.

However, after the girl fell, there was no one else on the rooftop besides the two of them, so no one would criticize or make any accusations about this abnormal situation.

On the rooftop, the two men witnessed what appeared to be a living person committing suicide by jumping off the building. They also experienced firsthand the supernatural phenomenon of being unable to touch the person in front of them, yet they remained remarkably calm.

The two calmly took the things that were on the rooftop... Tsukino and Chiya also put Oma Kokichi's notebook and pen into their backpacks. Finally, he carried the backpack and went through the gate with Oma Kokichi, walking down the steps.

What you can see from the rooftop is ultimately limited; it's better to go downstairs and observe it with your own eyes.

Just as they were halfway there...

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

*******

Just as I expected.

Perhaps because they had already been mentally prepared for this supernatural phenomenon when they noticed that they could not make physical contact with the girl before she fell, Tsukino, Chiya, and Ohma Kokichi were able to remain calm even after discovering the strange new situation downstairs.

That makes sense, right?

Although it was time for get out of class to end, there weren't many students walking around outside, perhaps because they still had classes to attend.

However, not many doesn't mean there's no one. At least Tsukino, Chiya, and Ohma Kokichi, who had already arrived downstairs, could see two or three students walking by.

The students passing by did not notice the strange thing under their feet.

After coming down from the rooftop, Tsukino and Chiya were able to observe the condition of the corpse more clearly... There was no doubt that it had fallen very hard and looked extremely gruesome.

Tsukino and Chiya, along with Ohma Kokichi, are not people who would be indifferent to the death of a living person, but when that person's death is shrouded in too many mysteries...

Students walked by without changing their expressions, completely unaware of anything amiss.

Since arriving downstairs, Tsukino, Chiya, and Ohma Kokichi had witnessed this eerie scene before. It seemed that only the two of them had noticed the corpse.

Is that her?

At that moment, Tsukino and Chiya heard a familiar voice. It was Hyuga Hajime, who had somehow arrived there with perfect precision.

The brown-haired, heterochromatic-eyed boy glanced at the gruesome corpse lying on the ground. It seemed another person was about to witness this sight.

Tsukino and Chiya subconsciously looked at Ohma Kokichi. When the purple-haired boy saw him looking over, he raised the phone in his right hand: "I'm the one who notified Hinata to come over."

Hyuga Hajime nodded in affirmation and walked over to the two men.

Others seemed unable to see the girl who jumped from the rooftop. Therefore, her fall and the horrific aftermath went unnoticed.

Inevitably, some people would pass by the location of the girl's body, but just like when Tsukino and Chiya tried to stop her suicide attempt but hit nothing, the students' feet pierced through the body.

The students passing by didn't notice anything and simply walked on naturally. In their view, they were just walking normally on the same road as always.

However, such a scene seemed rather eerie to Tsukino and Chiya, who were able to see the corpses.

If possible, Tsukino and Chiya would love to search the corpse's pockets to see if there were any clues about this strange phenomenon. However, he also knew very well that he couldn't even touch the corpse, so how could he possibly search its pockets?

So instead of exploring the corpse that he couldn't even touch, he chose to first briefly describe the dream he had.

The dream wasn't complicated or long; in short, he dreamt that he returned to the shrine, then arrived at a certain place within the shrine, and then woke up. Tsukino and Chiya summarized their dream in just a few words.

He spoke quickly, but the time left before get out of class ended was limited, and the bell rang to remind him of the time limit right after he finished speaking.

"Tonight," Tsukino said to Chiya, not at all worried that the two people next to her wouldn't be available, "let's go to the abandoned shrine."

On his way back to the classroom, he took out his phone and sent the photos he had taken of the girl before she fell and was badly injured to the other two.

After sending the photo, Tsukino and Chiya didn't rush to turn off their phones. Instead, they stared at the not-so-clear photo for a few seconds.

It was indeed an unfamiliar face.

Tsukino and Chiya thought to themselves.

But he actually had a general idea of ​​who this person was.
