Chapter 1012 1020 [Run, NPC! ]
Consciousness space.
In the activity room of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society" of Fudo High School.
Without the players, Jiang Xia pushed the door open and entered the house.
A few meters away, Miyano Akemi held "Miyano Shiho", or rather, held the empty shell modeled based on Miyano Shiho's data, and handed it over reluctantly.
Jinpei Matsuda took it, looked at his watch, and ran quickly to the other side carrying the shell.
Jiang Xia retracted his gaze and looked at Miyano Akemi: "If you tell Haibara Ai directly that you are a ghost, she may not be able to accept it for a while. Let her come up with a suitable reason herself, such as your body is dead but your brain was intercepted by a mysterious science group and turned into the current appearance of a 'cyborg'."
"..." Miyano Akemi nodded and looked down at her hands with reminiscence.
Although my sister was very cute when she was a child, it is still more comfortable to hug the adult version... I wish I could have both.
…
On the other side, in each player's "home".
Suzuki Sonoko hung up the phone with a bang.
This time, before she tried to break in, the two parents had heard the noise.
They looked up at the sound and asked in confusion, "Who's looking for you?"
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the "parents" with her eyes flickering slightly. She suddenly thought of something and said confidently, "It was a call from the school!"
"...School?" The parents grumbled, "It's so late, and they actually let the students go there. They are really dedicated... Never mind, since the teachers said so, then you can go and take a look - remember to come back early and don't run around outside."
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up, she responded perfunctorily, and ran out quickly.
…
After getting out successfully, she soon met three people on the street.
—— Ran Mouri, Shinichi Kudo, and Heiji Hattori. They also finally used a similar method to sneak out of their homes.
The four people came together.
Hattori Heiji looked around in confusion: "Jiang Xia is not here? Is he also in school? Tsk, I was just about to go out when my mom beat me back. How could these two..."
Kudo Shinichi suddenly raised his elbow and nudged him, interrupting him: "Hurry to school. It seems that Ms. Miyano hung up the phone in the middle of the call... I hope nothing happened."
Hattori Heiji was stunned. He realized something belatedly and stopped talking about the previous topic.
The four of them hurried to the school.
Unlike several other Tokyo people, Hattori Heiji has always lived in Osaka and does not have much interaction with the families of his classmates in Tokyo.
At this moment, he recalled what had just happened and vaguely understood why Jiang Xia and Haibara Ai were not here - the "Hattori Heizo" and "Hattori Shizuka" that Hattori Heiji met just now, although their personalities were slightly different, their appearance and so on were obviously constructed according to the model of his parents.
Hattori Heiji: "..." In this case, the reason why Jiangxia and Haibara Ai were able to leave home in the middle of the night is already very obvious - their parents are not alive and there is no one guarding the door, so they can leave at will at night.
However, this kind of solo exploration is definitely very risky... I have to get to the school as soon as possible to help them.
…
The school is not far away.
The four men quickly arrived at the courtyard wall.
Just as she was about to climb over the wall, Mao Lilan suddenly realized something and stared at the ginkgo tree next to her. She was startled and said, "Corpse...Corpse!!"
——She remembered that this was the "sixth wonder": a student was hanged on a ginkgo tree. If you came with the intention of "seeing the body", you would see nothing. Only if you pass by accidentally can you see the body. So according to the legend, no one has collected the body of that student so far.
“?!”
The other three people also immediately understood what Mao Lilan was talking about.
Suzuki Sonoko screamed "Ah!" and didn't dare to look at the tree. She turned around and huddled together with Mouri Ran.
Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji looked over decisively, and then suddenly got goose bumps all over their bodies - as the shadow of the tree swayed, they saw a human figure on the tree.
The horrible corpse that had been hanging for who knows how many years seemed to sense their presence and slowly turned around and approached the wall where they were.
Then Jiang Xia's voice came out:
"Can you guys come out now?"
“…”
"???" The four high school students were startled, "...Why is it you?!"
Jiang Xia jumped from the tree branch to the wall and looked down at his classmates.
As he stretched out his hand to pull the person toward the wall, he answered the previous question:
“No one was home, so I came out to check the situation, and then I saw that you were trapped by the parents.
"Then I met Ms. Miyano and came to school with her... Alas, if I had known you would come out, I would have waited for you to come together. When there are more people, we can see faster."
"Didn't you answer the call from her?" Kudo Shinichi climbed up the wall and was stunned when he heard Jiang Xia's words.
He figured it out immediately: "That's right, we don't have cell phones, you're not at home, and there's no landline..."
Kudo Shinichi quickly thought: Maybe Jiang Xia and Haibara Ai came to the activity room together, and then Haibara Ai started to check the information.
At the same time, because the bound volume cannot be opened, it can only be read by one person. Jiang Xia couldn't rest, and time was precious, so he went to several incredible places to check the situation, and thus missed Huiyuan Ai's call.
…
Kudo Shinichi also quickly supplemented Jiang Xia with the known information:
"We were able to leave home because we received a call from her at school. Miyano said that she knew the truth about the 'Seven Wonders' and asked us to gather at school to announce the answer. Later, she seemed to want to say something else, but the call was suddenly cut off halfway."
After a brief exchange of words, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji had already climbed up the wall.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were still at the foot of the wall.
Suzuki Sonoko looked up and saw Jiang Xia's outstretched hand. She subconsciously raised her hand to hold it and squeezed it, but she seemed a little scared of the "school at night" and had no intention of climbing up - this school was very old and the atmosphere was eerie and terrifying, not to mention those terrible legends.
Jiang Xia sensed Suzuki Sonoko's entanglement, looked down at her, and said hesitantly:
"If you're scared, why don't you stay outside first? The puzzle-solving scope of this 'game' should only be in the school, and it's probably safe outside."...If the whole group is wiped out again, we can still keep a spark and put a few people back as they were.
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned.
She looked back at the foggy street, then looked up at Jiang Xia, and suddenly climbed up the wall using her hands and feet: "I want to go with you!"
Ran Mao Li also came back to her senses from the shock of the "corpse" just now.
She took a deep breath and climbed over the wall neatly: "Let's go. Senior Yingshu also said that it was people, not ghosts, who caused the 'Seven Wonders'... I'm not afraid!"
This girl, who looked very fragile, said this, but she was obviously still a little scared in her heart.
Jiang Xia watched as Mao Lilan encouraged herself, but she failed to control the strength of her hands and accidentally crushed a wall brick with a "crack".
