Chapter 1013 1021 [Did you bring your key?]
Jiang Xia looked at Mao Lilan's slender hands, then looked at the falling brick dust: "..."
I'll remind the ghosts later that if you meet Mao Li Ran, remember to avoid head-on conflict, so as not to turn a good detective copy into a magical martial arts film.
…
The five people quickly climbed into the school, slipped into the building quietly, and went to the activity room of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society" on the first floor.
There were no lights in the corridor, and the only lighting was the dim street lights shining through the windows.
The group walked on the creaking floor and came to the door of the activity room.
When I opened the door, I saw that the room was empty except for the computer in the corner, which was glowing with a faint light.
"…Where's Miyano?"
Several high school students looked around, a little wary.
Jiang Xia walked to the most conspicuous computer and looked down at the screen.
In front of the jumping cursor, two lines of pale words were written:
[The one who opens the seventh door will become the sacrifice of the ritual
——After School Magician]
…
"…Sacrifice?"
Kudo Shinichi also came over to the computer. When he saw the signature, he suddenly had a bad feeling and whispered to Jiang Xia, "She couldn't have been..."
Halfway through his words, the door of the activity room suddenly made a creaking sound and was opened by someone from the outside.
The high school students gathered in front of the computer suddenly turned around.
Then I saw two more figures at the door.
Senior Ying Shu and the counselor walked in. When they looked up and saw them, they were slightly startled:
"Are you here to see that 'death ritual' as well?"
After a pause, seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of several classmates, Sakuragi Ruriko seemed to understand something and explained:
"I just received a phone call. The caller was probably a chuunibyou. He said mysteriously that a 'ritual of death' would be held here and asked me to come and see it. I thought someone was going to mess with our department... What about you? Why are you gathered here?"
Mao Lilan saw that her eyes were fixed on her, so she had no choice but to say:
"Ms. Miyano called just now and said that she discovered the truth about the 'Seventh Wonder' and asked us to gather here."
Sakuragi Ruriko raised her eyebrows and was about to say something when suddenly a flashlight flashed in the corridor.
A powerful voice rang out: "Who's there?!"
Jiang Xia looked over Senior Yingshu's shoulder and saw a familiar-looking security guard.
——Ever since they tried to break into the "mysterious place" during the day, the guard has been hanging around them and watching them until they get out of school.
They didn't expect that the two sides were so destined to meet. Not long after they returned to school, the security guard came again.
…
The guard was a tall man. He approached with a cigarette in his mouth and a riot baton in his hand, and found a group of students at the door.
He put down his stick and looked at the men suspiciously:
"What are you doing here so late at night? You are not allowed to wander into the school at night!"
"I'm not just wandering around. We just lost someone and are looking for him." Jiang Xia said like an ordinary player, "Have you seen Senior Miyano - the mixed-race girl with brown hair?"
The guard frowned and turned to walk out: "I haven't seen it. I'll go look for it. You guys go home quickly!"
Jiang Xia followed naturally:
"Since we're looking for someone, why don't we go to the old school building together - I think she might be there."
The guard glanced at him and wanted to chase him away, but his lips moved and in the end he just snorted and said nothing.
Seeing this, several other high school students quickly followed and nodded in agreement, hoping to convince the guard.
The previous "Six Wonders" except the ginkgo tree are all located in the old school building. Now, "After School Magician" is related to the "Seventh Wonder".
In other words, if it was really the "After School Magician" who took Haibara Ai away, then they were most likely also in the old school building - Jiang Xia's judgment was not wrong.
…
The guard looked at the tails falling behind him and became impatient: "The old school building is about to be demolished. It is a dangerous building. No entry is allowed!"
"But look." Jiang Xia suddenly noticed something. He pointed over there through the window in the corridor. "Someone went in."
"……?"
The guard stopped and looked in the direction he was pointing.
The others also turned their heads.
Through two windows, they saw the corridor of the school building next door. The door of the classroom at the end of the corridor was open, revealing a faint fire inside. The light was yellowish and swayed slightly with the breeze, like the fire of a candle.
Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji saw the location of the classroom and were slightly stunned: "Isn't this the 'unopenable biology classroom'?!" - It is said that if you come here to look for something at night, you will see the "first wonder" of someone hanging in the room!
They quickly ran to the window and looked into the classroom through it.
From afar, I saw a rough hexagram drawn on the floor of the biology classroom. There was a candle on each corner of the star, illuminating an area.
And right above the candle, a pair of legs were hanging quietly.
Several people shifted their gazes dully and saw a hanged person hanging in the middle of the biology classroom.
——"Miyano Shiho" hung in the room like a backdrop, her soft school uniform skirt sticking to her knees, motionless.
Besides, there was another person in the room.
The man stood beside the corpse, his back to the crowd. He was dressed in a linen robe, holding a lit candle in his hand, and his hair was messy like hemp rope, looking like a wig.
As if he had sensed the prying eyes from behind, the mysterious man suddenly turned around, revealing an extremely terrifying mask on his face.
The next second, the door clicked shut in front of the group of people, blocking their view.
“…”
The air fell into dead silence in an instant.
After a while, everyone came back to their senses from the shocking scene and rushed towards the old school building next door.
…
The two sides are not far apart.
Sprinting at full speed, a few dozen seconds later, they had bypassed the winding corridor and entered the old school building, and saw the door of the "unopenable biology classroom" from afar.
Jiang Xia grabbed the door handle and pulled it hard.
The door didn't move.
Hattori Heiji tried to pull it out, but he couldn't do it either. Thinking that someone was committing a crime right in front of him, even though it was just a game, he became anxious and looked at the guard next to him: "Where's the key?!"
The guard was yelled at by him, and his voice suddenly became louder than his: "If I had the key, this classroom would be called 'Unopenable Biology Classroom'?"
Hattori Heiji: "..."
That makes sense...
Jiang Xia knocked on the hard door: "Break it open."
Hattori Heiji nodded.
Just as they were about to exert force together, a hand suddenly appeared on each of their shoulders.
Jiang Xia was startled and turned around.
Mao Lilan stood behind them with a serious expression: "Move aside, let me try."
Jiang Xia: “…”
He looked at Mao Lilan's legs, then looked at the classroom door with a little worry, and took a few steps back.
