Chapter 1009 1017 [Kudo, look at this pot...]
After making this decision, Huibara Ai took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, rummaged through the drawers for a while, found an electric shock device in the drawer, took it out and put it in her pocket.
Then he brought some random things that could be used to hit people.
Finally she walked to the door, pushed it open, and looked out carefully.
The streets were filled with thick fog, and the street lights were like hazy balls of light, connecting to the distance.
There was no one else on the street, and all kinds of houses stood in the fog like eerie haunted houses.
Haibara Ai looked at it silently for a while and finally made up her mind.
She pushed the door open and walked towards the street sign. At the same time, she secretly thought that if she encountered obstacles or dangers, she could just run back immediately. At present, it seemed that exploring at night was an indispensable part. After all, if "night" was useless, then they would probably close their eyes and open them again to daytime. But now, there was no sign of time fast-forwarding, which meant she had to do something.
…
Although Haibara Ai is only an eighteen-year-old girl, she has been in the Black Organization for quite a while after all. At present, she is only afraid of the men in black, not the dark. She is also much braver than her peers.
However, when she reached the corner and looked at the road sign shrouded in fog, she was suddenly startled.
"..." The "pole" supporting the road sign was not a normal iron pole, but a human figure! The "person" stood quietly in the thick fog, his figure occasionally distorted by the shaking fog, like a monster with a road sign on his head.
This strange appearance made Huihara Ai's mind buzz. At this moment, the "signpost man" suddenly took a step towards her.
"!" Haibara Ai grabbed the stun gun and swung it towards the "person".
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, like an iron clamp. Huiyuan Ai was horrified and struggled hard, but couldn't get free. She gritted her teeth and reached behind her waist with her other hand to hold a small dumbbell.
Just as he was about to pick it up and smash it over, the "road sign man" suddenly uttered a familiar voice: "...What are you doing?"
Huibara Ai was stunned and her movements froze.
After a moment, she recognized the owner of the voice: "...Jiang Xia?!"
"Yeah." Jiang Xia took two steps forward, left the signpost he was leaning against, and stood under the street light.
He looked at Huiyuan Ai for a moment and let go of her hand: "Are you going to school too?"
"Yes, I didn't know which direction the school was, so I came here to check the road signs." Huiyuan Ai breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around, "Where are the others?"
"They are all at home, and probably can't come out." Jiang Xia pointed to a house in the distance:
"I just passed by there and heard some noise in the house. I got closer to observe the situation and saw Hattori Heiji being beaten by his mother. It seemed that she was trying to stop him from going out... I knocked on the door but no one answered me. The situation was the same in other houses."
"..." Huibara Ai thought of the ill-fated black-skinned detective and silently lit a candle for him in her heart.
She quickly understood what Jiang Xia had just said and sighed, "It seems that we are the only ones who can act normally tonight."
"Let's go to the school first." Jiang Xia didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore, so he turned and walked towards Immovable High School. "Although it's a game with six people, it's hard to pass it with only two people searching. But we can collect some relevant clues first, and find a way for everyone to act at night."
Huihara Ai nodded.
She trotted a few steps and caught up with Jiang Xia before his figure disappeared into the thick fog.
The two of them walked quickly, one in front and one behind, towards the high school in the distance.
…
The school gate is locked.
Fortunately, the school wall is not high.
Jiang Xia climbed up the wall skillfully, reached out to pull Huihara Ai up, and at the same time, amid the rustling sound of leaves, looked towards the ancient ginkgo tree with lush branches and leaves next to him.
Haibara Ai also climbed up quickly.
She carefully held onto the top of the wall and followed Jiang Xia's gaze towards the tree: "This must be the sixth wonder... I didn't see any bodies on it. Maybe it's because we are investigating those 'wonderful events', which means we are also investigating the bodies, so we don't meet the conditions to see it?"
"It could also be because there was no body on the tree." Jiang Xia said firmly, "From what Senior Yingshu said, there must be someone behind this for some purpose."
…
There was nothing unusual about the ginkgo tree until they jumped off the wall, dodged the security guards and sneaked into the teaching building.
After entering the building, the two went straight to the activity room of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society" and did not turn on the lights to avoid alerting the security guard.
Ai Huihara covered her eyes with the light of the flashlight and shone it on the table.
I saw that the stack of bound volumes of the conference journal and the disk containing the information of the "Seven Wonders" were still lying on the table.
She breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the computer in the corner with the information, and turned it on.
A faint fluorescent light was emitted, and Huibara Ai opened the bound volume and took a look.
She remembered how quickly Jiang Xia had seen through the truth, and couldn't help but look to the side and ask the question in her mind: "What's going on with this game? I was clearly not in the game cabin when I was pulled in."
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from the dark window, sighed, and secretly blamed his neighbor:
"It's me too. I was just playing with my phone before bed and things turned out like this... When you have time, ask Kudo. He seems to be the first one to arrive and seems to have some understanding of the situation."
Haibara Ai recalled that when the five of them entered the "office", Kudo Shinichi had indeed been there since early morning, and asked them with a look of disappointment, "Why did you press the consent button?" She immediately nodded in understanding, "It might be caused by the last 'London copy'."
At the same time, she thought to herself: I'm afraid I won't get much information if I ask Kudo Shinichi. Kudo also looked confused.
But if I could meet my sister, maybe...
Huibara Ai quickly came to her senses, turned the page, and cleared her throat as if nothing had happened: "With the help of the computer's brightness, I can barely see the words. I'll read it here. You..."
Jiang Xia obviously had a plan in mind: "I'll go to those 'incredible' places to check out the situation. If I find any clues, I'll come back to find you."
Huiyuan Ai nodded: "Be careful on the road."
Jiang Xia quickly pushed the door open and it closed with a click.
Huibara Ai was the only one left in the room.
She didn’t know if it was because Jiang Xia had just opened the door, but she felt a chill on her back, as if a cold wind was blowing against her spine.
Haibara Ai clenched the stun gun in her hand and continued to flip through the book with her head down.
Since there are no more detailed clues yet, she decided to first find the most basic reports about the "Seven Wonders" in the journal.
