"Then I'll leave this to you."
Fang Zheng gestured to the yellow-haired bad boy.
"I'll go find the others."
"Wait, I'm going with you!"
"you?"
Looking at the yellow-haired man who recommended himself, Fang Zheng was stunned.
"You mean, you want to leave with me and leave the two girls here?"
“No, this…”
After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Huang Mao remembered that there were two women here, including Teacher Yui and Suzumoto Mayu...
"We'll be fine."
At this moment, Shishido Yui also stood up. She reached out her hand, pressed Suzumoto Kan's shoulder, and looked at Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng obviously didn't see it that way.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You know, the ghosts here are hard to deal with. My words don't matter, but what about you? If a ghost comes to trouble you while I'm away, I won't be able to rush back. Do you have any way to deal with those ghosts?"
"this……"
Facing Fang Zheng's question, the three were speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Just as Fang Zheng said, they were just ordinary people, without any special abilities. If they encountered a ghost, the only way out was to run away. In this case...
"Well, can't we go with you?"
Obviously, Huang Mao still knows how to cling to someone powerful. He is also very smart. Indeed, as Fang Zheng said, if they stay here, they are likely to be attacked by ghosts again. In this case, why not just cling to someone powerful? After all, the other party just showed his ability to easily defeat ghosts in front of them. If he protects them, then their chances of survival will also increase!
"Um……"
Fang Zheng also thought about Huang Mao's suggestion for a moment. To be fair, he didn't really want to bring a few burdens with him. But on the other hand, the other party might be the "protagonist" of this dungeon after all. Maybe taking them on the road could trigger a few main events and end this troublesome dungeon journey earlier.
"All right."
In the end, Fang Zheng nodded in agreement. To be honest, if he had a divine weapon or could use magic, then Fang Zheng would prefer to keep these people here and set up a barrier to protect their lives. But Fang Zheng only had the First Fire at his disposal, and this classroom might not be safe.
Besides, if he left them here, Fang Zheng would be reminded of the plot in the game he played before - the protagonist went to face the enemy alone, leaving the NPC to guard the house. Then the protagonist successfully eliminated the enemy, but when he returned home, he found that his home had been ransacked by the boss, and the NPCs were all captured by the boss, so the protagonist had to embark on the road of rescue again...
Having said that, it's really pointless for the protagonist to save that group of NPCs. They don't help when attacking the stronghold, and they don't help when fighting the boss. Even when facing the heavily guarded shelter of the final boss, you will only shout "666" from behind, leaving the protagonist to rush in alone with a gun to deal with the cult leader.
After the protagonist has come out after going through so much hardship, you guys still have the nerve to lick his face and say it's "everyone's victory"?
Bah!!!
If the game mechanism did not allow it, Fang Zheng would have wanted to shoot those bastards in the face with his gun right there and then, and send them to accompany the Boss.
Hmm... when I think about it...
"Let's go."
Fang Zheng immediately changed his mind.
Even if there are a few more people who can take the bullets, it’s better than a useless person who can only shout six six six on the radio!
We just have to shout "666". Wouldn't it be more comfortable to shout it on the spot?
As for whether there would be any problem if there were more people... you're just kidding. With Fang Zheng's protection, as long as they don't do anything stupid, there won't be any problem!
"But I want to say this first."
Of course, despite all the thoughts, Founder still has to set three rules first.
"You must obey my command completely. Without my order, you are not allowed to run around or do other things casually. You must stay beside me. If you want to do anything, you must report to me first. Do you understand?"
"this……"
"no problem!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's request, Huang Mao seemed a little embarrassed, but Shishido Yui nodded quickly. She also understood that there must be a backbone at this time. She originally planned to be the backbone herself, but it was obvious that in such a dangerous environment, it was impossible to protect her students by herself.
But right now, the strength displayed by this Kasugano-kun is far beyond their imagination. Only by following him can they survive. In this situation, who would be dissatisfied?
Huangmao and Suzumoto Mayu might be a little too proud to save their dignity due to their youthful vigor, but for Shishido Yui, as a teacher, she is willing to do anything as long as she can protect her students!
"Then let's get ready and go find Shinozaki Ayumi first."
Fang Zheng and Shishido Yui had walked around the main building before, but they didn't meet anyone. Now he could only hope that Shinozaki Ayumi was also the protagonist and could "trigger" some event.
The other three naturally nodded in agreement to Fang Zheng's proposal. They were originally worried about Ayumi. When she ran away, Huang Mao wanted to chase her, but Ayumi ran too fast, so now everyone didn't know where to look for her...
Just like that, Fang Zheng left the classroom of Class 1-A with his three burdens and chased after Ayumi in the direction she had just left.
The group stopped and walked along the way, but did not see any trace of Ayumi. However, these protagonists were really "uneasy-handed" and could always find some clues in various places. Based on these clues, Fang Zheng almost pieced together the entire story background of this copy.
Legend has it that there was a Tianshen Primary School here 30 years ago. Of course, everyone was happy at the beginning. But then something unexpected happened. First, a teacher at the school died unexpectedly, and then four children disappeared mysteriously. Finally, the police found the four kidnapped children and the son of the principal who was suspected of kidnapping in the basement of Tianshen Primary School.
Of the four children, three had died. Their tongues were cut off, and one had his eyes gouged out and half his head cut off. It was a miserable death. Based on the description of the last surviving child, the police arrested the principal's son who was at the scene.
The suspect was not in a clear state of mind at the time, but the police still arrested him because the principal's son was in the basement when the bodies were found. He was holding the scissors used to cut off the children's tongues, and with the testimony of the last survivor, the police arrested him as the murderer.
Of course, the final trial result also determined that the crime was caused by the principal's son's mental disorder.
After this incident, Tianshen Elementary School was closed, the principal's son committed suicide, and the principal also jumped off a building. Later, the place was razed to the ground, and then... nothing happened.
That's how it should be.
But now, the Tianshen Elementary School that was supposed to have disappeared has reappeared, and the situation is a bit strange.
Of course, according to common reasoning, it must be because the three dead children were resentful that they created a Tianshen Primary School. But...
"What does this have to do with the happy Sachiko?"
Walking in front, Fang Zheng looked around and asked while thinking.
According to Suzumoto Mayu's recollection, the two ghosts she encountered were named Kanonoyuki and Tsuji Juko, both girls. The victims of abduction in the report were three girls and one boy, and Sachiko obviously could not be a boy's name. Although due to the censorship of the report, the names of the victims appeared in the form of A-ko and B-ko, but after a little thought, we can come to the conclusion.
However, there is a contradiction here.
"Shinozaki Ayumi, I once told you the story of the happy Sachiko, right?"
"Yes."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Huangmao nodded.
"I remember Xiaozaki said that although Sachiko has passed away, as long as you miss or worry about your friends, she will be willing to help you solve it..."
"Dead already."
Fang Zheng turned around the corridor and continued forward.
"If Sachiko is really the only one who survived among the four kidnapped children, then according to reports, she should have left the city. However, in the Sachiko's Spell of Happiness, it says that Sachiko has already died... So that means that the last surviving girl also died in Tenjin Elementary School? Then, how did she die? Who killed her?"
"this……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the other three began to think. Just as Fang Zheng said, if the information they collected was true, then the four children in the Tianshen Primary School kidnapping case were not spared in the end. But who was the murderer who killed the last survivor?
According to reports, the principal's son, who was thought to be the murderer, had been detained by the police and could not have had the time or opportunity to commit the crime. So, who could it be?
Could it be that the other party was just a scapegoat? Was the real murderer someone else?
Or is it that this crime was not committed by one person, but by a gang?
But for Fang Zheng, these are not important. He thinks about these issues just to kill time when he is bored on the road.
After all, you see, there is nothing to do along the way...
“Wa ...
Along with screams, a ghost with a bloody upper body suddenly appeared from the air. His eyes were bleeding and he stared at everyone. But before the ghost could do anything else, Fang Zheng flicked his finger slightly, and the next moment a fire snake flew out and swallowed the unfortunate ghost in one gulp.
“Huh…”
Fang Zheng yawned, glanced at the black shadow in the air that had been burned to ashes, and then continued forward.
It's so boring...
“…”
Seeing this, the other three were silent. In fact, they had been attacked by ghosts several times in a row since the beginning, but those ghosts had just appeared and had not even had time to show their strength before they were completely burned by Fang Zheng's fire.
This also made the three of them completely understand what kind of person they were relying on.
“Boom!!!!”
However, just as everyone reached the third floor, suddenly, a low collision sound was heard in the distance.
"Listen! There seems to be some sound?!"
Huangmao immediately became excited, and the other people also immediately focused their attention and began to look for the source of the sound.
“Boom… Boom…!!”
“Over there!!”
At this moment, Shishido Yui also heard the sound and hurried forward. Then the four of them came to the innermost female restroom on the third floor. Soon, they saw a wooden door moving back and forth in the back of the restroom. When they walked into the restroom, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
In one of the toilet cubicles, a short-haired girl in a sailor suit was hanging on the beam, her cheeks were red, her eyes were rolled back, and she was struggling non-stop! !
“Naomi!!”
Seeing the short-haired girl, Suzumoto Mayu screamed, and the other two also exclaimed.
“Nakajima!!”
"Nakajima-san!! Cheer up!!"
While shouting, the three hurried forward, trying to rescue the girl from the beam, but they had no idea how to do it. Seeing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and then he lightly snapped his fingers. The next moment, a flash of fire instantly shot out from between Fang Zheng's fingers, and with a "bang", the rope hanging on the beam was burned and broken, and the short-haired girl groaned and fell to the ground.
"Nakajima-san, are you okay?!"
At this moment, regardless of how dirty the toilet floor was, several people hurriedly carried the short-haired girl out. After a while, the short-haired girl slowly woke up.
“Ooooo… cough… cough cough!!”
She tightly grasped the rope around her neck and coughed loudly several times before she caught her breath. Then, the short-haired girl opened her eyes, and after seeing the people in front of her clearly, she was also stunned.
"Shishido-sensei? Cocoon? I…"
As she spoke, the short-haired girl looked at everyone blankly.
"What exactly... happened?"
