Nagito Komaeda and Chiaki Nanami shook their heads simultaneously, replying to Souji Otosaka.
"We haven't found Tsukiki-kun yet."
"In that case, let's search together as a group of three."
Subsequently, Otosaka Souji, Komaeda Nagito, and Nanami Chiaki formed a three-person team to begin the search.
Soon the three of them arrived in front of a statue.
Looking at the statue before him, Komaeda Nagito stopped in his tracks and exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh!"
Then, Komaeda Nagito, holding an umbrella, quickly approached the statue.
Otosaka Souji and Nanami Chiaki exchanged a glance and followed.
"So there used to be a bronze statue in this place!"
Komaeda Nagito circled the bronze statue once, then randomly picked a spot, touched it, and stepped on it.
With this touch and step, the mechanism of the bronze statue was successfully triggered.
Nagito Komaeda's lucky bloodline activates.
A downward passage appeared before Otosaka Souji, Nanami Chiaki, and Komaeda Nagito.
Otosaka Souji and Nanami Chiaki exclaimed in surprise.
"Nagito Komaeda, look!"
Komaeda Nagito looked down at the steps and asked curiously.
"What's this?"
Otosaka Souji stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"This must be a hidden passage that was opened by chance by triggering a hidden mechanism."
Komaeda Nagito said with a very happy smile.
"Haha, I'm so lucky! I even managed to find this hidden passage. I'm so fortunate."
"you do not say!"
Komaeda Nagito's good fortune once again broadened Otosaka Souji's horizons.
Chiaki Nanami also looked at Nagito Komaeda with curiosity and said.
"You already knew, didn't you?"
"How could that be! It's just good luck, a coincidence."
At this moment, Otosaka Souji spoke again after thinking for a moment.
"However, Komaeda Nagito's luck probably didn't happen for no reason. Maybe Tsumiki Mikan is right down there!"
"In that case, let's go down together!"
With a gentle smile, Komaeda Nagito turned his head to look at Otosaka Souji and Nanami Chiaki, and said.
Then, Komaeda Nagito led Otosaka Souji and Nanami Chiaki into the hidden passage.
The hidden passage was completely dark except for the long staircase.
Only by turning on the phone's light can one see the path inside the hidden passage.
"Why? Why would Hope's Peak Academy have a place like this?"
Chiaki Nanami raised her question, completely puzzled.
"Who knows? But maybe someone is conducting experiments here that they don't want outsiders to know about?"
Otosaka Souji offered his own conjecture.
"It's not convenient for outsiders to know?"
"For example... human experimentation and the like."
Are there really human trials?
"Darkness is everywhere in this world, so it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."
"If there really was human experimentation, then Tsurugi-kun might be in danger right now!"
Upon hearing Otosaka Souji say that he believed human experimentation existed within the academy, Nanami Chiaki became even more worried about Tsutsumi Mikan.
"Yes, yes! Tsukiki-kun is probably in a very dangerous situation right now, he might have already been..."
Otosaka Souji's guess was not unfounded.
Throughout Hope's Peak Academy, there are very few people who could make Mikan Tsumiki disappear.
At that moment, Otosaka Souji thought of someone: Enoshima Junko, who had previously had contact with Tsumiki Mikan and Otosaka Souji himself.
Otosaka Souji felt that Enoshima Junko was highly suspected of kidnapping Tsumiki Mikan.
"here it is…………"
After climbing the long staircase, Otosaka Souji and the other two arrived at a neat and tidy room.
Besides the books neatly arranged on the bookshelf, the room contained only a bed and a work desk and chair with a computer.
The computer on the workbench was running, and a figure could be vaguely seen in the chair in front of it.
This figure was none other than Ryota Mitarai.
Upon sensing someone behind him, Mitarai Ryota hurriedly turned around.
Looking at that familiar face, Chiaki Nanami exclaimed in surprise.
"You are... Ryota Mitarai? Mitarai-kun, have you lost weight?"
The Mitarai Ryota in front of me looks very similar to the Mitarai Ryota that Nanami Chiaki knows, but they are different.
Because the Ryota Mitarai in front of her was much thinner than the Ryota Mitarai that Chiaki Nanami knew.
When Komaeda Nagito saw Mitarai Ryota again, he had the same thoughts and feelings as Nanami Chiaki.
Of the three, only Otosaka Souji knew that the person in front of him was the real Mitarai Ryota.
At this moment, Ryota Mitarai looked extremely haggard.
Dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, and a fearful look in his eyes, as if he were about to die suddenly at any moment.
Ryota Mitarai's expression wouldn't have appeared unless he'd been up for three days and three nights straight.
Seeing the three people enter, Mitarashi Ryota said nervously.
"I, I... I didn't do anything."
"Hey!"
"I...I was just making animations. I...I didn't do anything."
Seeing the agitated Ryota Mitarai, Souji Otosaka could only patiently comfort him.
"Mitarai-san, it's me! I'm Otosaka Souji."
"Don't rush, just tell me slowly."
Upon hearing Otosaka Souji's voice, Mitarai Ryota's emotions calmed down slightly.
Ryota Mitarai turned to look at Souji Otosaka and said fearfully.
"It was Enoshima Junko, it was her, she forced me to do it!"
Speak of the devil, and he appears. As soon as Enoshima Junko was mentioned, he walked out of the hidden door and looked at Mitarashi Ryota.
"Ryota Mitarai, how's it going?"
Upon seeing Enoshima Junko suddenly appear, Komaeda Nagito greeted her.
"Oops, sorry to bother you!"
Looking at Komaeda Nagito with his pale, flame-like hair, Enoshima Junko asked calmly.
"Who is this? And why would an outsider know about this place?"
"It was just a coincidence."
"happen?"
"I'm the ultimate lucky one!"
"Hey! You too? Never mind, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you can't possibly leak what's going on here."
