Chapter 1807-1814 [Uzo Research Notes]
"What's there to be afraid of when there's thunder and rain? Uzo can't control the weather. This just proves that what's happening now has nothing to do with him."
Maya Hashimoto hid in a room that looked very safe, took a sip of the teacup to calm herself down.
He looked at the residential building with lights on in the distance and muttered to himself, "It's just that weather like this always reminds me of the terrible thunderstorm on the plane before... But what does this have to do with me? As long as I resolutely don't go on stage and don't come into contact with anyone else, I won't be dragged to the center of the stage."
Thinking of this, and remembering the two guards who were still busy outside taking care of a group of students and had not returned yet, Hashimoto Maya sighed with pity and sympathy: "...I wish you good luck."
Just as I was about to go back to the bed and sit down to rest, a panicked figure suddenly ran past in the corridor a few dozen meters away from the window.
"……?"
Hashimoto Maya's heart skipped a beat. She looked over again and again and confirmed that it was indeed a person: "..." Running out alone in the middle of the night, is this person trying to kill himself? !
He was silently shocked in his heart, completely forgetting that he was once a cold-blooded madman who walked alone in the dark night and killed the organization's targets with one knife.
Although there was no evidence, Maya Hashimoto seemed to see that a bad premonition was about to come true - as if an invisible curtain covering the heads of all the islanders was slowly opening.
…
A few minutes ago.
Haru Matsuzaki returned to his room without even turning on the light. He strode to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and then exhaled heavily.
She thought she had recovered from the accident three years ago, but when she actually stood on the stage again, Matsuzaki Haru discovered that the overly dazzling figure seemed to always linger on the stage and never left, making all the rest of them become supporting roles and shadows.
Just like when her brother went to visit the drama club, those gentle eyes should have been watching her the whole time, but in fact, Matsuzaki Masahiko's gaze was all on Tsukishima Fuyuko, as if she was the only real bright moon and the others were just stars in the background.
The old theater just now was not equipped with very good sound absorption equipment, and no music was played during the rehearsal. Therefore, the audience sitting in the front row may not know that what they think is "talking to themselves" often drifts to the ears of the actors on the stage.
"Is the gap really that big?" Matsuzaki Haru wiped the water off his face with a wry smile. "Even today, three years later, you can still praise her and say such hurtful words as 'we are not as good as her'."
She was talking to herself in the mirror, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.
There was something pressing on the cabinet door next to the mirror, as if someone had opened the door.
Matsuzaki Haru opened the cabinet door in confusion, raised his eyes and glanced around. His gaze suddenly fixed and his pupils trembled slightly.
This was where she placed her toiletries and cosmetics. Although Matsuzaki Haru had a lively short hair, it was just to distinguish herself from Toda Takako. Before she fell in love with her brother, she was also a gentle schoolgirl with long hair.
She actually loves beauty very much, and she makes sure to put things in neat order, with cosmetics having fixed intervals between each other.
But at this moment, those intervals were rudely disrupted: the originally small cupboard became crowded and messy because of something that should not be here squeezed in - among many beautiful bottles and jars, a brown-black glass bottle was abruptly placed in the middle, with a burnt, old and faded label on it.
Matsuzaki Haru reached out his hand and picked it up with trembling hands. He could still vaguely read the words on the label: [Sulfuric acid, HSO, 500ml]
……sulfuric acid?
A bottle of sulphuric acid that had been spilled?!
With great fear, Matsuzaki Haru's hand trembled, and the bottle fell on the sink, and the liquid spilled onto the shower curtain beside him, instantly burning a corner. At this time, Matsuzaki Haru discovered that there were several lines of bloody words written on the shower curtain -
[I want to make your face look like Tsukishima Fuyuko]
The impactful blood words make people feel as if they have returned to the day when Tsukishima Touko jumped off the roof of the hospital with her ugly face burned by sulfuric acid.
Matsuzaki Haru could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and suddenly let out a terrified scream. But outside, there was a heavy storm and thunder, so no one heard it.
After sitting on the ground for a while, Matsuzaki Haru stared at another message left by an unknown person. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, stood up tremblingly, turned around and walked out.
…
In the corridor, a tall figure hid in the dark, looked at Matsuzaki Haru's departing back, and pushed his glasses silently.
Vermouth looked at Matsuzaki Haru, then at the room whose door she had not closed in time, and quickly understood something: it seemed that the female college student was frightened or threatened by something, so she went to the appointment alone.
"If the sea snake bite incident hadn't happened, Matsuzaki Haru would probably be living with Toda Takako now. However, the incident before they came to the island prevented them from sleeping in the same room as before. In other words, it was because of the sea snake incident that they had the conditions to walk into the net alone..."
Vermouth reviewed everything that had happened, and was suddenly surprised to find that she seemed to have seen a little bit of the trajectory of the Uzob Network.
——In the two cases mentioned above, one was a female high school student's self-directed suicide attempt, and the other was an accident disguised as a sea snake bite. No one died, and without exception, none of them made the news.
Even if someone really reported it, if Vermouth had not been specially invited into this group of people and inquired about the inside story in advance, she would never have thought that this minor fight that did not result in any loss of life and that she would not take seriously at all was actually just a move by Uzo.
In other words, if she had not participated in this incident, then what Vermouth would have seen afterwards would only be this case that happened on the island. Then, like before, she would have sighed that this young cadre was so terrifying without knowing anything.
“It seems that Wuzo’s previous sudden and precise assassinations were not the so-called good luck, nor were they magic, but were laid out bit by bit with great patience like this.
"Those so-called accidents and coincidences were actually inevitable. It's just that his actions were too covert and were not discovered by others."
"Amazing talent, extraordinary patience, and precise control over people's hearts. It turns out that those who achieve great things are both talented and hardworking. Although the direction of his hard work is horrifying... it is undeniable that these are what made the amazing 'Uzo'."
