Arriving in Beika Town, Tokyo, where cases frequently occur, you can encounter a murder case just by walking a few steps.
Transform into light in the darkness, piercing through layers of fog....
“Have the materials from the beginning of the school been preserved?”
Hearing what Akai Mary said, Sakaki Makoto and Miss Miyano's eyes lit up at the same time. This was a path they had never imagined.
Gunma University has a history of more than 120 years since its establishment. After going through wars, we thought that the information had been lost with time, but unexpectedly it has been preserved!
"Gunma Prefecture is located in the center of Japan Island. It is an inland prefecture and is much safer than other places, so it has not experienced much turmoil."
Akai Mary considered:
"I think that Karasuma Renya had this in mind when he built his villa near here. If that's true, then he must have foreseen that wars would break out among countries around the world and that Japan would lose..."
"Karasuma Renya has always had a long-term vision. If they hadn't made arrangements in advance, the Black Organization wouldn't have been as powerful as it is today."
Sakaki Makoto nodded in agreement.
The Karasuma Renya they met in the game before was a 'fake personality' simulated by Noah's Ark after collecting information from all parties. There may be some differences between him and the real Karasuma Renya, but the gap is probably not that big.
In the game, Karasuma Renya always believes that starting a war is wrong and inappropriate. He looks at the long-term, not just the immediate interests or the interests of ten or twenty years.
Nowadays....
The path envisioned by Karasuma Renya is gradually being realized.
The seeds he planted have begun to take root, sprout and grow vigorously.
Time was running out, and after finalizing the next course of action, Sakaki Makoto and the other two immediately took action and prepared to go to the third underground floor where the archives of Gunma University from the early days of its founding were kept.
The library of Gunma University has 5 floors above and 3 floors below. The ground floor is a public reading room, and the first and second floors underground have independent personal reading rooms and a large number of books. If you are not a student of the school, you can only go on the fifth floor above ground.
The door to the underground floor requires a student card to open, but Sakaki Makoto and the other two only have tourist cards, which do not allow them to have sufficient authority.
But this did not pose a problem for Makoto Sakaki. He stood next to a bookshelf not far from the gate and pretended to read a book. After other students opened the gate, he quickly stepped forward, held the door that was about to close, motioned Miss Miyano and Mary Akai to follow him, and successfully got in.
"I say, is it really okay for you to invade so blatantly?"
Mary Akai was a little indignant about Makoto Sakaki's bandit-like behavior and taught him a lesson:
"You should have been more careful! Why are you walking in here so arrogantly? There's a surveillance camera overhead!"
The university library is a relatively important place, so surveillance cameras can be seen everywhere, and the corridor on the basement floor is no exception. Sakaki Makoto and the other two have no way to avoid it and are completely exposed to surveillance.
But Sakaki Makoto didn't seem to care about the surveillance camera above his head. He spread his hands and said calmly:
"This is a university, not an organizational research institute. We walked in openly from the school gate. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Besides, there's Xiao Ai here. Isn't her 18 years old just like a college student?"
"What do you mean!"
Miss Miyano pinched her boyfriend's waist hard and said unhappily:
"What do you mean by like college students? I'm much younger than them, okay?"
“Is this the point?!”
Akai Mary looked at her in shock:
"We are not students of this school. If we meet the security guards, we will be kicked out!"
"Then just be calm..."
Sakaki took off the tourist pass from his neck and said calmly:
"Normally, intruders are discovered because they are sneaky and guilty. As long as we act honestly, who would suspect us?"
After saying that, Sakaki Makoto smiled and waved to a female college student passing by:
"Hello, junior sister. I want to ask how to get to the third underground floor?"
"It's over."
Akai Mary covered her face:
"I was kicked out as soon as I came in..."
But what she didn't expect was...
The female college student pushed her glasses, pointed to the end of the corridor, and said:
"There are stairs there, you can go straight down."
"Thank you, junior."
Waving goodbye to the female college student, Sakaki Makoto glanced back at the dull-looking Akai Mari:
"Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
"You...she..."
Akai Mary looked at the female college student's back, then looked at Sakaki Makoto, and for a moment she found it hard to understand:
"Doesn't she doubt your motives?"
"Suspect?"
Sakaki Makoto looked at Akai Mari in surprise and asked:
"I didn't give her the option to doubt, so why should she doubt my motives?"
“When you want to achieve a goal, don’t ask if you can or don’t use interrogative sentences. Although this sounds polite and courteous, it also gives the other party the opportunity to refuse.”
"In short, don't let the other person think about yes or no, get to the heart of the matter, for example..."
Sakaki Makoto took out two pieces of fruit candy from his pocket, handed them to Akai Mari, and asked with a smile:
"Which piece would you like to eat?"
Just as Akai Mari was about to pick up the mint candy, her body suddenly shook and she reacted.
Makoto Sakaki took advantage of people's misconceptions. He did not ask Akai Mari if she wanted to eat candy, but directly asked her which piece she wanted to eat. In this way, after receiving the question, Akai Mari's brain received feedback with only two options:
1. Mint flavor
2. Apple flavor
Because Makoto Sakaki didn't ask her if she wanted to eat it, out of inertia of thinking, it was more difficult for Akai Mary to refuse to eat the candy than the former.
