Chapter 1007 1015 [Parents: Good children, don’t go out at night]
Suzuki Sonoko blinked when Jiang Xia looked at her, and tried to mobilize her blank brain to answer:
"They're all terrible, they're all fatal, and they all... they all happen in school!"
"..." Jiang Xia nodded, "Yes, indeed..."
Kudo Shinichi looked at the ginkgo tree swaying in the wind in front of him and sighed: "The time when the incident happened was at night, that is, 'after school', and the same is true for the Seventh Wonder. Moreover, these places are all blocked. Even the ginkgo tree has such a high fence built around it. If you force your way in..."
He glanced to the side and saw a security guard. The man was pacing back and forth more than ten meters away, staring at these "naughty students".
——Just now, the high school students went to two or three "unbelievable" places, and after finding that the doors were all closed, they finally couldn't help but want to pry open the doors.
But just a few seconds after they started working on the keyhole, the security guard suddenly appeared from behind and stopped their actions.
…Since then, the security guard has been hovering around them like a ghost, cutting off their hopes of sneaking in to check.
…
Jiang Xia followed Kudo Shinichi's line of sight, glanced at the security guard, and whispered:
"He had a walkie-talkie on his waist. I just passed by the security room and I remember there were three or four people inside. If I pinned this security guard down and forced my way in, I'm afraid he would call his companions immediately.
"But at night, the school won't keep so many security guards. There is a shift schedule on the wall, and there is only one person on duty every night. If you want to explore those 'incredible' places, it's much easier at night than during the day just in terms of 'breaking through the security guards'."
The other people nodded. Hattori Heiji looked around and muttered, "I'll go find some ropes to tie up the security guards at night."
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." These detectives are really good at talking about crimes. But...
She thought of the six legends that had given her goosebumps, and couldn't help but touch her arm:
"But if we have to deal with those legends instead of security guards, the danger at night will double immediately."
Jiang Xia shook his head and secretly corrected the rules: "From what Senior Yingshu said, those 'legends' should be man-made. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to pass the level."
Kudo Shinichi agrees that there are no ghosts in the world, and there shouldn't be any in detective stories:
"The series of things called 'Several Unbelievable Things on Campus' is actually just a series of assumptions that most people are afraid of, which have been spread through rumors and turned into legends. For example, when you return to an empty classroom alone at night to look for something you forgot to bring, you will worry about seeing a horrible scene when you turn around, so there is the legend of 'looking back and seeing a female student hanging in the classroom'; the guillotine in the printing room is extremely sharp, and when you see it cutting paper, you can't help but wonder if it can also cut off a person's hand so neatly, so there is the 'bloody handprint in the printing room'..."
"That's right, but the legend of this school is too specific." Hattori Heiji touched his chin and felt something was wrong:
“‘Music classroom’ and ‘old well’ are normal, as these are the places where legends often occur.
"But here, the legend is specifically about the 'biology classroom' - either something really happened in that classroom, or someone deliberately spread this news for some purpose."
Hattori Heiji has played a lot of games, so he made a bold assumption: "Based on the idea of the game, I think things will develop step by step - the first six are ordinary blunders that lead to a small boss, and the seventh incredible 'After School Magician' is a truly terrifying murderer."
We were planning to discuss where to look for the suspect.
Before he could open his mouth, a shrill ringing sound was heard in the air.
Several people were startled and looked in the direction of the sound cautiously. After a few seconds, they realized slowly:
"Is this the bell for the end of get out of class?... What an old bell."
Just as he finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Humph! How many new ringtones do you want? Let me play Jingle Bells for you?"
Suzuki Sonoko was startled and screamed "Ah!" and turned her head away.
Then they saw the security guard who had been hovering near them, walking up to them at some point.
The security guard was also startled by Suzuki Sonoko's sudden scream.
After a moment, he came to his senses and didn't bother with the girl. He waved the anti-riot baton in his hand and said, "It's time to go home. No one is allowed to stay on campus. Go back quickly!"
“…Oh, okay.”
Several high school students nodded perfunctorily and exchanged glances secretly - pretending to go back to the classroom to get something, and then secretly hid in the school. Later, when it was late at night and the extra security guards had left, they would come back to explore the "Six Wonders".
The abacus is working well.
However, the next second, several people's eyes blurred and a familiar space fluctuation suddenly appeared.
When they opened their eyes again, they looked around in shock.
——He actually went straight back home.
…
The "residential area" in the game.
Mao Lilan stood at the entrance and looked at the house in surprise.
——This is exactly the "Mori Detective Agency" in reality.
For a moment, she almost doubted that she had left the game.
But when he looked down, he realized that what he was wearing was not the uniform of Teitan Junior High School, but the uniform of "Fudo High School".
In addition, if you look carefully through the window and outside, you can find that the street scenes are actually a bit strange. They are not the same as in reality - this is probably a block that the game has arbitrarily pieced together.
Mao Lilan sighed sadly: "..." It seems that she is still in the game. The bell must have rung just now, and it was time to go home, so they were all sent back home.
She walked around the room curiously, looking through various items. After a moment, she remembered something and looked out the window, only to see that it was already dark.
"Hmm... I remember Ms. Miyano said that those 'mysterious phenomena' all happened at night. If we want to get more information, we'll have to investigate at night. Jiang Xia and Shinichi should be able to think of this, so next, we should go to the school at night, right? They've probably all gone home..."
While muttering to herself, Mao Lilan walked to the table and wanted to call her classmates.
I found the landline phone and just picked up the receiver. Before I could try to dial someone else's home, a voice suddenly came from behind me.
A man poked his head out from behind the door. "Hey, the phone is broken. I can only receive calls now, but I can't make outgoing calls. I've asked someone to fix it, but that bastard stood me up, and it hasn't been fixed yet."
“?!”
Mao Lilan was startled and turned around. She was shocked to see that the person who spoke was "Mauri Kogoro". She was stunned: "Why are you here?!"
"Mouri Kogoro" was startled: "This is my home! Where else would I be if I'm not here?"
Mao Lilan: “…” Her father is not among the players.
It seems... this is also an NPC?
