Half an hour later.
hospital.
Al and the other two stood in a row outside the ward. Ye Mo Zhengdao walked out from the end of the corridor, rolled up a pile of information in his hand into a tube, and hit each of them without any courtesy.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Gojo Satoru covered his head and cried out, "What are you doing, moth!"
Bang!
"And you yelled at me!"
This is a hospital filled with the smell of disinfectant. The assistant supervisor with a brain injury is receiving treatment from Ieiri Naoko inside. God knows what Yemo Zhengdao's mood was when they climbed in through the ward window, carrying the assistant supervisor and four students. Anyway, Yemo Zhengdao's blood pressure has never dropped since he became the head teacher of this grade.
He thought Gojo Satoru last semester was annoying enough, and this semester he finally got to be a human being, but here comes someone even more annoying.
"It wasn't me who beat you!"
"If you are an accomplice, you will be beaten together!"
“…”
Al lowered his head and said, "Sorry, Masters, deduct my snacks."
Gojo Satoru angrily put his arm around Al's neck and gave him a chokehold.
Xia Yujie quickly changed the subject and asked, "Teacher, where are those four students?"
"They have been placed in the room over there. The relevant personnel have been contacted and they will communicate with their school and family members."
"That's good……"
Ye Moth Zhengdao frowned, "Did those four children see your cursed spirit?"
Xia Yujie avoided his gaze and said, "Ah, well, we can't just fly back with a broken car..."
Before he finished speaking, Gojo Satoru at the side decisively spoke first: "What's going on, Night Moth? How did Window do it? They actually let four students into the mission site. Do they know how much trouble this has caused us?"
Al quickly nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah!"
Ye Moth, who was about to teach someone a lesson, said: "..."
He said unhappily, "Listen, those students will temporarily stay in the hospital until the curse is completely resolved. So all of you will stay in the hospital tonight to keep watch! As for the negligence on the 'window' side, we have already communicated with the police. There was a problem when handing over to the police, resulting in no one guarding the house, so they slipped in. As compensation, your remuneration this time will be higher than originally planned."
Oh, there is compensation.
Gojo Satoru raised his chin and made a face, "What do you think, Jay? Al?"
Al muttered, "I don't get paid..."
Xia Yujie asked: "How much higher?"
“Thirty percent.”
Thirty percent...
Xia Yujie narrowed his eyes and said, "But teacher, their negligence is not limited to this, you see."
He gave the diary that Al found to Ye Moth.
Ye Mo Zheng Dao took the diary and after flipping through two pages, his brows couldn't help but frown.
"This is——"
Summer Oil replied: "It is Kayako's diary."
Kayako's diary records her life, including the misfortunes of her original family and her obsessive love for her college senior. Anyway, after reading Kayako's diary, they understood a lot of things.
For example, how did Kayako become a powerful curse after her death?
That's because Kayako's mother was originally a shrine maiden in a remote countryside. When Kayako was very young, her mother would "treat" the "patients" in the village and feed Kayako the cursed spirits pulled out of the "patients".
Kayako is different from Geto Suguru in that she is not a cursed spirit operator. She is just a simple cursed spirit container. In the torture day after day, she is in so much pain that she wants to die. She can only vent all her resentment in her diary.
When she grew up, she married Shunsuke Saeki and successfully distanced herself from her original family. Unfortunately, she died in the end.
Therefore, high school students speculated that Kayako was actually a sorcerer with a talent for spells, and it was completely reasonable for her to become a powerful cursed spirit after her death.
Gojo Satoru said, "How could the police leave such an important diary at the crime scene when they were investigating? How did they do that?"
"No, that's not it."
Yega Masamichi said solemnly, "The police did find Saeki Kayako's diary five years ago. But not long after, the diary was inexplicably lost, and the people involved in the case died one after another not long after, and the matter was never heard of again. This - you actually found this at the crime scene?"
“…”
Al and the other two looked at each other.
This is where things get interesting.
This diary will return to the house by itself after being taken away. It is obviously a very crucial prop!
Xia Yujie shrugged.
"Okay, 30% is 30%, we accept it. What about Nishina Rika? We need to confirm some things with her in person."
Ieiri Naoko suddenly opened the door of the ward and walked out with the assistant supervisor.
She glared at the three teenagers unhappily.
Al looked at the assistant supervisor, and Xia Youjie asked quickly: "Mr. Ota——"
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." The assistant supervisor rubbed his head and smiled harmlessly: "Ms. Jiali has already healed me. It doesn't matter, after all, he is an assistant supervisor. It is normal for the assistant supervisor to be affected when the sorcerer fights with the cursed spirits."
Al: “…”
Even more guilty!!!
Xia Yujie pressed his head and bowed to the assistant supervisor together. The assistant supervisor quickly waved his hand and said it was not necessary. After that, Ieiri Shoko took her three companions to see Nishina Rika.
——The only survivor who survived Kayako’s clutches.
Rika Nishina is a female college student with short hair. The job in Tokaido was not originally hers, but because several seniors shirked the job and refused to work in Tokaido, she had to go to the "haunted house" alone.
"When I got there, there was only an old lady at home. She suffered from Alzheimer's disease and didn't respond to any questions. The house was also in a mess, as if no one had taken care of it for a long time. I couldn't just leave it alone, so I decided to help clean the house..."
Rika Nishina lowered her head and struggled to recall what happened at that time.
"When I was cleaning the second floor, I found a little boy hiding in the closet. I thought he was the child of that family and wanted to call him out, but..."
Having said this, she was a little unable to continue.
The short-haired girl hugged her arms tightly and shivered slightly uncontrollably.
Xia Yujie replied considerately, "So the result was that they found the passage and the body in the closet, right?"
Nishina Rika nodded.
"I was so scared that I only had time to call my senior. When I came to my senses, he had already called the police and doctors for me, but the old lady... had passed away. I don't know how she died, but my senior secretly told me that the old lady looked very painful when she died."
Al quietly pulled out a stool and sat down. Based on the principle of not speaking in front of outsiders, he tried to act like a silent boy. But as soon as he sat down, Jia Ru Glass handed him half a peeled apple.
The boy paused and looked at Ieichi Nozomi.
Ieiri Naoko calmly propped her head up, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at him, "Were you scolded by the moth?"
The girl smiled lazily, and the teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes seemed to be sparkling.
"…It's my fault."
"Pfft, it's good that you know. Don't cause trouble to Mr. Ota in the future, and he will forgive you."
Al took the apple and took a big bite.
Oddly enough, these three high school kids, whose average age is less than 16, gradually started to raise him as their own son. Surely it was because the [Mysterious Heroine X.Altet]'s alias looked too young?
Next time he should change into a mature man's vest - "Lancelot" from Berserker Agency would be a good choice!
The feeding was successful, and Ieiri Glass withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
Raising heroic spirits is much more addictive than raising cursed spirits.
At least the Heroic Spirit is good-looking!
Gojo Satoru asked curiously, "You should have read their information before visiting that family, right? They don't have any children. Why do you think the child you saw was theirs?"
Nishina Rika was stunned. "Because... because I saw his photo on the coffee table on the first floor."
"photo?"
"Yes, it's a photo of a family of three. I'm pretty sure the child I saw is the one in the photo, so..."
Xia Yujie was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, that family has no children. The little boy you saw doesn't actually exist, and that photo is also very suspicious... You have noticed this, right?"
“…”
Rika Nishina clutched the hem of her clothes.
Xia Yujie comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen to you. But you will have to live in this ward for the rest of your life."
"…Why?"
The male high school student who was asked was a little confused, not knowing whether he should tell the truth. Gojo Satoru beside him said, "Just tell me, Jie."
"Enlightenment?"
"When will you stop worrying about other people? She's an adult now, she can't be so upset by this."
"..." Xia Yujie sighed, "I know. Ms. Nishina, please calm down and listen to me. Everyone who has entered that house - including your predecessors, the police and medical staff who were present at the time, and the reporters who reported on the incident, have all died in these few days. They either died miserably or disappeared directly. You are the only survivor among all those who entered the house that day."
Rika Nishina's face suddenly turned pale.
a long time--
"I understand. Thank you. I will try my best to cooperate. By the way, I...the photo of the family of three is still in my house. I don't know how I brought it back home. It fell out of my pocket when I came to my senses. If you need it..."
Xia Yujie thanked him warmly: "Thank you, we really need it."
Ten minutes later, Geto Suguru and assistant supervisor Mr. Ota went to Rika Nishina's house to get the photos. Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko stayed to look after Rika Nishina, while Al was sent to the ward next door to "take care" of the four students with Masamichi Nogata, who temporarily replaced Geto Suguru.
"I told you I don't want to stay here! Give me my phone back! I want to call my dad!"
This familiar roar...
Al calmly pushed open the door of the ward, and the bad girl who had been so arrogant just now immediately fell silent.
Ye Moth, who was having a headache, said: "..."
He looked at Al, then at the bad girls who had inexplicably behaved themselves, and asked in surprise, "Why are they so afraid of you?"
Al took out his cell phone and typed out a few words: I am more fierce.
Ye Moth Zhengdao: "..."
He looked at Al's delicate face, and then thought about his own face that was often mistaken for a gangster boss, and he felt very unhappy.
But never mind, it would be good to calm down. He was getting annoyed by their noise.
The ferocious-looking old teacher sat on a chair, lowering his head to knit a cute plush doll. He skillfully knitted a teddy bear and handed it to the bad girl.
"Take it. It can save your life at a critical moment."
The bad girl took a look at the teddy bear with touching colors and said with disdain: "What is this? It's so ugly..."
Al stood behind Yeyao Zhengdao, raised his hand expressionlessly, and silently made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Girl: “…”
Is this a threat? Yes, it is a threat!
She could only grit her teeth and hold the teddy bear tightly in her arms.
"Yeah." Ye Mo Zheng Dao nodded with satisfaction and praised her: "Very good."
Bad girl: “…”
Perhaps because he had been a teacher for several years, Yega Zhengdao was able to adapt well to various problem children. He was not offended by the child's rude words, but lowered his head to knit a new teddy bear.
Al looked around and saw that the other girls all lowered their heads, so he sat down obediently next to Ye Mo Zhengdao.
Ye Moth Zhengdao: "..."
Ye Moth said: "Are you free?"
Al nodded.
"Then go get me a cup of coffee. This floor is reserved for sorcerers. You can walk around freely, but don't do it in front of other sorcerers..."
He coughed lightly and whispered, "Speak up."
Al nodded obediently, opened the door and went to the tea room. There was no one else in the tea room. Al got two cups of coffee for himself and Yega Masamichi. After thinking for a while, he got one cup each for Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko. After thinking again, he got one cup each for the four unlucky students and Nishina Rika.
“…”
Al turned his head suddenly.
A skinny little boy with a pale body and hollow eyes was squatting in the corner of the tea room, staring straight at Al. In his arms was an equally skinny black cat. The cat was skinny and looked like a half-rotten zombie cat in the movies, which was quite creepy.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed boy and the black-haired, black-eyed boy stared at each other for a long time. The boy opened his mouth, revealing his dark hole, and silently lip-synced a sentence:
Quick - run -
She—is—coming—
