Jiang Ji asked: "Is there any other entrance to the Suicide Forest?"
The passenger shook his head and said he didn't know.
The corners of its mouth curled up in a strange arc, and it stared at Jiang Ji and said slowly: "Aokigahara is so big, there must be another way to leave."
Jiang Ji looked carefully at the passenger sitting in front of him.
He was wrapped in a navy blue coat and a baseball cap of an indeterminate color. His shoes were covered in mud that looked wet. There was a purple-red mark of hanging on his neck. His eyeballs were bulging and his speech was a little slurred. His tongue was too long and there was white foam at the corners of his mouth.
Jacket, running shoes.
Like the outfit of an outdoor enthusiast.
The passengers on the bus all come from stops along the way.
This passenger's stop should be the Suicide Forest.
Principal Baiyi took bus No. 12 to the "Suicide Forest" a long time ago. If this is the only route to the "Suicide Forest", then Principal Baiyi's journey is a one-way trip and there is no return.
The principal was divided into two forms, one in white and one in black. Ying Huai chased after the principal in black yesterday, but failed to kill him with a knife.
Several freshmen from the Monkey Kingdom were killed by the black-clad principal who was traveling in the school, and were witnessed by Jiang Langyue who was hiding in the green belt.
These people were unlucky. The principal in black they encountered was obviously hungry and was even faster than the last time Ajin and the others ran into him.
There was a person with special powers among them, but he was no match for the ghosts. After eating those freshmen, the principal in black was still unsatisfied and wandered around, looking for any trace of human scent that had lingered.
It was only because of the smell of pesticide residue on the green bushes that Jiang Langyue, who was covering his mouth tightly and holding back his trembling, was not discovered.
It also made Jiang Ji realize that the principal's appearance was different from that of a counselor, nor was it an intangible monster like an emotional operator. It was more like an afterimage of obsessions from a previous life that accumulated in the school. Ying Huai's mental attacks would not have much effect.
If the source of pollution is not completely resolved, even if it is crushed into powder by an atomic bomb, it will condense in some dark corner and continue to grow endlessly.
The afterimage should be weak, but the principal's power is not weak.
Its strength comes from the support of all teachers and students in the school.
It is like the gray sky above the school that is getting lower and lower, with thick black clouds hanging over the heads of teachers and students, silent and oppressive.
Judging from the power obtained by the principal in black, he is also the most polluted in the school and must be the key figure in this strange story.
The rules for the Discipline Committee on the first day are:
【Please remember that there is only one principal in this school. 】
Only this one has not been modified.
This is an iron rule.
The principal in black's current appearance is completely different from the kind-hearted, smiling and loving look in the photos in his office.
There must be something wrong with the principal in black.
It seems that they need to find the principal in white first.
But the problem becomes how to find the white-robed principal who has entered another ghost story... directly enter a new ghost story to look for him?
There are countless deaths in the Suicide Forest, which covers thousands of hectares. It would take an indefinite amount of time to find a monster in such a vast forest.
Jiang Ji felt that there must be some missing clues. After a night, she just hoped that Ying Huai and A Jin could bring her good news.
While she lowered her head in thought, the other regular passengers on the bus were also observing the two people who had just boarded.
Both of them were dressed in white, and it was not colorful white. The colors were consistent and coordinated, making them look like a perfect couple's outfit.
The bus started and merged into the dense morning traffic.
At the intersection, there were black traffic lights hanging on all four sides.
Go when the light is red and stop when the light is green.
Parked next to them was still the No. 29 bus. Inside the grey carriage were all kinds of spooky and weird creatures. Several distorted ghost faces stuck to the glass were staring at them greedily.
A group of weirdos holding bright red umbrellas were crossing the street.
Everything was no different from when she was first pulled into Youdu.
Jiang Ji sensed a cold and sinister gaze. She looked through the dull car window and met the gaze of the gigantic Guanyin statue.
The Guanyin statue's narrow and drooping eyes followed the movement, the corners of its mouth were almost pulled to its ears, and the position of its hands changed at some point.
Jiang Ji remembered that before, the Guanyin statue held a pure bottle in the left hand and a wishing stone in the right hand. The shape of the wishing stone was also pointed at both ends and round and bulging in the middle, shaped like a human eye... But now, the left hand was in the meditation seal in front of the chest, and the right hand was pointing straight to the sky, as if there was some secret hidden behind the sky. The pure bottle and wishing stone in the hands were gone.
"This Guanyin statue..." Jiang Ji said.
They were sitting in a single row of seats in the middle of the bus, Chu Xiuning was sitting behind her, and the other party heard her voice but could not hear it clearly.
A voice came from behind, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ji said the second half of the sentence slowly: "It seems to have changed."
Chu Xiuning looked through the car window for a while and thought for a few seconds: "In my opinion, the Guanyin statue has not changed."
He did not say that Jiang Ji's cognition was definitely wrong, he just stated his own feelings and confirmed the difference in their cognition.
The red light came on and the traffic moved slowly forward. The huge eyeballs of the Guanyin statue also moved with her, sliding from the eyes to the corners of the eyes.
Its expression lacks the compassion and salvation that a Buddha statue should have, and instead reveals the primitive and savage appetite of a wild animal eyeing its prey.
Jiang Ji withdrew his gaze.
Chu Xiuning is a smart person, and his observation skills are not much worse than hers. If the other party doesn't feel anything, it means that the situation only happens to her.
The female conductor turned her head and said with a chuckle, "Buddha will not change. Only your heart will change."
The bus driver's eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror, and other passengers on the bus were repeating this sentence.
"The Buddha will not change, only your heart will change..."
The sounds became faster and faster, as if they were chanting scriptures.
The Guanyin statue seemed to be trying to tell her something, or trying to lure her closer.
But no matter what, Jiang Ji will not go over now.
The bus arrives at Aoki High School Station.
Aoki High School in the strange world is no longer on the mountain. It is separated from the bustling city by only a wall and a corner.
The bus stop is just opposite. There are no humans or monsters nearby. This place is like an isolated island that is about to sink.
The school was shrouded in gray pollution, and dark resentment formed dark clouds above the low Japanese-style buildings.
There is no one in the security booth all year round, and the doors and windows of the security room are closed.
There are security guards in the school, but they have no presence and never show up at ordinary times. Only last time when Jiang Ji caught an outsider pretending to be a student and took the initiative to call the security room did they appear from nowhere.
