Chapter 1003 1011 [Adult Version of Huiyuan Ai] Request for monthly ticket (づど)
The translucent dialog box above Sakuragi Ruriko's head had completely disappeared at this time.
She looked like a normal female student. When everyone was present, she tapped the table with her pen to remind the people around her to come back to their senses.
The players withdrew their secret conversations and turned to look at her.
Then Sakuragi Ruriko smiled mysteriously:
"The reason we invited everyone here this time is actually for the 'Seventh Wonder'."
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were startled, and recalled what they had just seen in the cutscene. They shuddered in unison: "Is it the thing that once it is cracked, the person who knows it will be killed immediately by the magician?"
Sakuragi Ruriko closed her eyes and shook her head, and strictly corrected: "He was killed by the 'After School Magician'."
"…" "Before school" or "after school" is not the point at all! The point is obviously "kill"!
Sakuragi Ruriko seemed to be completely unaware of the players' cries in their hearts.
She tucked her fallen hair behind her ears and continued in a gentle voice:
“As you all know, the school recently plans to demolish the old school building.
"Who knew that a few days ago, the principal suddenly received a letter written in blood, which threatened: 'The North Building is mine. If you dare to tear it down, I will curse you to death.'
"The principal is very distressed about this. And I think this must be related to the seventh mystery - if we can solve this mystery, we can find the guy who secretly sent the threatening letter."
…
There was a stool next to a few students, near the window.
A middle-aged man sat there with a frown on his face, looking a little anxious.
——Every club has a teacher to look after it. The man by the window is the advisory teacher of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society", Shibata Yuichiro.
Shibata Yuichiro sat on the stool somewhat stiffly, listening quietly. Halfway through, cold sweats began to break out.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and interrupted Sakuragi Ruriko:
"But I heard that some students wanted to find out the 'Seven Wonders' and then disappeared... Let's leave this matter to the adults. You can study something safer."
Hattori Heiji was startled, turned around and looked at this NPC with a low presence, and said thoughtfully to several classmates:
"They even set up an atmosphere group... But since they specially wrote the relevant lines, he should also have some relevant clues here - I'll try to squeeze out those clues."
As he spoke, he was about to walk over to the advisor and study this NPC.
But before he could take a step, a thunderbolt suddenly struck from the sky. After a "crack" of lightning, Hattori Heiji looked ahead with empty eyes, and suddenly his whole body went limp, and he fell onto the table with a plop.
"..." Jiang Xia happened to be next to Hattori Heiji, and couldn't help but pick up the pen on the table and poke him, "Hey, are you okay?"
Next to his ear, Noah's voice came along with the contract: "It's an electric current that stimulates consciousness. Although it's a bit painful, it won't harm the body. The smoke and lightning are special effects created."
Almost at the same time, a cold reminder sound echoed in the office:
“Please don’t destroy the game world view.”
…
It seems that the harm caused by electric current to the body is indeed not great.
After a few seconds, Hattori Heiji hissed and climbed up from the table with gritted teeth. His eyes twitched slightly, and he looked like he wanted to raise his middle finger to the air, but then he thought, this is a game about life after all, and it's not just his life...
In the end, he just snorted and didn't continue to talk about the game in front of the NPC. He also didn't attack the NPC by the window.
Sakuragi Ruriko obviously also noticed Hattori Heiji's strange behavior.
She took out a candy and placed it in front of the member: "You must eat well, otherwise you will have a sudden low blood sugar like this."
Hattori Heiji: “…” It’s not about the sugar at all!
Kudo Shinichi looked at his still smoking friend with lingering fear.
He thought about it, and tentatively asked the consultant in a tone that was so-called "in line with the world view":
"Are you worried that if something happens to us, it will implicate you as a consultant? Why don't you tell us in detail what happened before, so that we can judge the degree of danger and avoid risks."
Shibata Yuichiro shook his head and refused to say anything more.
The high school students sighed when they failed to get any clues, but they were not too surprised:
It is said that stories come from life. In daily life, those who always like to say mysteriously "a certain tragedy happened a few years ago" often don't reveal anything when questioned... Tsk, damn riddle man.
…
Sakuragi Ruriko looked at the members and smiled:
"Teacher Shibata has always been very cautious, or rather, a little timid. But don't worry, this world is scientific and there are no ghosts. As long as we catch the person who is making trouble, the problem can be solved.
"Well, the latest topic has been told to everyone, so everyone should investigate carefully according to their own abilities. Whoever finds the truth about the 'Seventh Wonder' will gather all members and announce the answer here.
"By the way, don't rush to the police. Because they have been harassed by our members before, they now attach great importance to evidence. If you go directly to them without complete evidence and reasoning chain, the police station will not provide any help. Instead, they will suspect that we are playing a prank again."
After the words fell, Sakuragi Ruriko looked at her watch:
"It's getting late, let's stop here today. I have to go home and cook..."
As she said this, she packed her schoolbag, winked at the members of the club, and quickly turned and left.
The consultant also wiped his forehead and walked away reluctantly.
…
Suddenly, only six players in high school uniforms were left in the room.
Several people looked at each other for a moment.
Jiang Xia glanced at the ceiling where the punishment lightning had just fallen, and tentatively said to his companions: "Now that those two are not here, we should be able to discuss those things that are 'not in line with our worldview'."
When the word "not in line with the world view" came out in the last half of the sentence, everyone was startled and looked at him suddenly with nervous expressions.
After two seconds, the surroundings were quiet and no lightning struck.
The five of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Suzuki Sonoko glanced at Hattori Heiji, stroked her chin and analyzed:
"It seems that as long as he doesn't do things to the NPC that are not in line with the identity of a 'consultant teacher' like he did just now, the problem won't be a big deal."
After she finished speaking, she remembered something and looked at the adult version of Huiyuan Ai standing next to Jiang Xia. The more she looked, the more familiar she looked. "Who is this...?"
There are currently six players present: five high school students who know each other, and one "Miyano Shiho".
Even though Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were not good at reasoning, they instinctively felt that something was wrong - why did the game suddenly throw a "stranger" in?
...Unless this "stranger" is not actually a stranger, but has a certain relationship with the five people.
