Thriller Paradise Chapter 1129: Summer memories (16)
After confirming the "size" of the five bottles of wine, the next steps are relatively simple. 》
As mentioned earlier, the law of the Tower of Hanoi is easy to grasp, and Ruoyu has no reason to solve it.
Just like this, after another three minutes, all five bottles of wine have been moved to the bottom row of the wine rack. The steps taken during this period are the shortest in theory.
When the last bottle of wine was returned to its place, there was a sudden sound of machinery and gear rolling in the wall beside Ruoyu's body.
When Feng Bujue saw this, he turned his body forward immediately: "Here... let me stand in front."
In places like this that may encounter danger, Brother Jue usually rushes to the front, not to say how much sacrifice he has, but he thinks this choice is more efficient and safer.
squeak——
Just when Brother Jue and Ruoyu switched positions, the wall at the end of the wine cellar was slowly opened.
Behind the wall, a dark, narrow corridor appeared along the way; the four walls of the corridor appeared to be uncut natural stone walls, the height and width were similar to this wine cellar, but... the depth is unknown, at a glance I can’t see the end at all, I only know that it is winding all the way forward...
"This... isn't right." Ruo Yu looked inside for a while and said, "The wine cellar under the principal's room should be a space between the first and second floors of the school, but this Road..."
"It's very simple, from here... we are about to enter a region similar to subspace." Feng Bujue took her words and said, "These settings like the ones in front of me are obviously all systems. Independently generated, it has nothing to do with the principal...Unsurprisingly, if you continue to move forward, you will be close to the final plot..."
…………
The words are divided into two parts, and then look at Xiao Tan on their side.
Without being able to lead the way, An Yueqin, who has a flashlight in his hand, consciously began to lead the way.
After leaving the principal's office, the four of them cautiously descended to the first floor.
Since the "whoops--" sounded like a sliding door, their search targets were naturally those rooms with sliding doors.
Fortunately, there is not much space in this school. Standing on the stairs and looking around, the players discovered the abnormality...
At this moment, within their sight, the several classrooms that have been opened before are still open, that is to say...the doors have not changed.
However, the door of that "faculty office", I don't know when...opened.
"That...should be opened by the guys on the playground?" Xiao sighed at the door over there, lowered his voice and said to the teammates around him.
"From the point that he opened the door of the'Teacher's Office'..." Gui Xiao answered, "Maybe he is the teacher in this school?"
"Maybe." Xiaoling answered, "but he is definitely not a second-year class a teacher." She explained, "because he is not among the four adults in the photo."
"I think... he might be the squad leader Watanabe when he grows up." An Yueqin turned back then.
"Well, this is also possible." Xiao Tan nodded and continued, "All the npcs we have seen so far...or monsters, it seems that they are all from the second-year class A photo."
"No... there is one...I can't be sure." Gui Xiao immediately answered, "It was the guy who first lay on the glass window of the classroom, and then turned into black mist at the stairs." He paused for half a second. , Recalled, "I saw his face... the four adults in the photo didn't have him." He looked up at his teammates again, and said in a deep voice, "If that guy is the squad leader Watanabe... "
"...Who is the man on the playground?" Xiao Tan finished his words, and fell into thought.
"Whoever it is, let's talk about it before..." An Yueqin took a deep breath, and then said, "Huh...not to mention there are still two people trapped upstairs, let's talk about the two flashlights we have. 80% won’t last long, so..."
said, she has stepped forward and walked towards the office. The other three didn't say anything, they just followed.
After a few steps, everyone came to the door of the "faculty office".
and what is waiting for them is...
"Sorry, I'm late." As soon as the players showed up, the man in the room said to them.
This man is the mysterious man who stood on the playground looking up at the school before.
He speaks very fast, and he doesn't have the gloomy feeling peculiar to ghosts, and he also has a flashlight in his hand.
These signs all indicate that... this guy seems to be a living person.
"Who are you?" An Yueqin asked, "What are you doing...?"
At this moment, the man was really busy with some things, but he saw him spread out a few sheets of paper on a desk, and wrote some weird characters like ghost symbols on it with a brush that he got from an unknown source.
"What?" After hearing An Yueqin's question, the man suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked up at the players suspiciously, "You...can't remember anymore?"
"What is..." Xiao Tan also heard something from the other person's words, and asked tentatively, "I can't remember ‘again’?"
"Ah... as expected." The man seemed to have determined something at this time, and he continued, "After all, you have been'lost' for too long, and it is normal to forget."
"Then can you explain to us?" An Yueqin asked again, who was confused.
"My name is Shota Tsukamoto, and I am an onmyoji." Tsukamoto lowered his head and started busy with things, and then said, "Although it may be a bit rude to say that, I still have to tell you...you guys Several died six years ago."
"What?" When the four people heard this sentence, they all had the same reaction.
Previously, Feng Bujue's speculation that the players were actually "all ghosts" was unfortunately justified.
"Don't worry, let me explain to you slowly." Tsukamoto's attitude felt that he had become accustomed to similar situations for a long time, and he continued to draw charms skillfully while saying, "What about this... We have to start from the 47th year of Showa, which is 26 years ago..."
The players knew that the appearance of this npc probably meant that the truth of the plot was about to be revealed, so they didn't mean to interrupt and listened quietly.
"In May of that year, a fire broke out in Chongkyu Elementary School." Tsukamoto's narration began, "The fire did not burn too badly, but... it still burned a student to death, and This student is your classmate... Takayuki Suzuki." He paused for a second, as if he wanted to give the players time to digest the information, and then said, "Suzuki-kun is only one door away from the principal's office. He was burned to death in his warehouse. Before his death, he had knocked on the door desperately to call for help, but...Unfortunately, the principal Miyamoto was an alcoholic. It happened to be lunch break. After the afternoon, Miyamoto, who had no class, stayed with the principal. I fell asleep in the room.
"Miyamoto didn't wake up until the fire truck drove into the school, and at that time...Suzuki-kun, who was opposite, had already entered a state of shock because of inhaling too much smoke.
"Then, after seeing the smoke, the bewildered Miyamoto instinctively fled the fire scene. He didn't know...Even at that time, if he could open the opposite door, he still had time to get Suzuki Jun rescued.
"However, these assumptions are invalid... Suzuki-kun was burned to death after all, and he became a ghost as a result.
" The next day, he killed another student in your class, Eiji Noguchi. However, at that time, this case was treated as a general disappearance case, and I also went through a later investigation. Know this...
"Then, on the third day...it happened to be the day of the Sanja Festival. Although this small town is very remote and not well-known, it has a long history. Since ancient times, the Asao Shrine is here. 'There has always been a three-community sacrifice of its own, and this custom has continued.
"But the villagers didn’t know that the rituals of Asao Shrine that have been worn for thousands of years are not simply for worshipping'Amitabha Tathagata','Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva' and'Dashizhizhi Bodhisattva'...but In order to pray for the three Bodhisattvas to help the villagers suppress the hostility of'it'."
"It?" When he heard that keyword, Guixiao also reacted, "What is ‘it’?"
Note: In Tsukamoto's words, the way of saying "it" can also be translated as "the child (a-no-ko)".
"'It' is an evil **** who was enshrined in Asao Shrine. Its name is no longer remembered, but it is undoubtedly extremely evil and extremely powerful..." When he said this, Tsukamoto As if thinking of something, his hand movement was a little stagnant, "Oh..." For some reason, he sighed, "Later...just on the night of the Sanja Festival, Miyamoto sneaked into the shrine, I thought …At that time, he might have been entangled by the ghosts that Suzuki had transformed, and he was desperate because of fear… So he ran to the shrine, wanting to pray for the blessing of the gods. But… responding to Miyamoto’s and Not a god, but...'it'."
"You mean..." Hearing this, An Yueqin answered, "Miyamoto released'it'?"
"That's right, Miyamoto destroyed the three bodhisattvas and tore up the seal that held'it'." Tsukamoto replied, "and'it' that was regained freedom also fulfilled it. I promised to help Miyamoto solve Suzuki’s grievances. But... Miyamoto soon realized that what he released was far more terrifying than Suzuki’s ghost.
" "It" soon came to this school at the foot of the shrine mountain. The next day, your head teacher, Mr. Sato, met with "It" and became insane because of it.
"Miyamoto didn't hold on for too long. Two days later, he broke off at home due to excessive fear..."
So far, what Tsukamoto said corresponds to the information found in the old newspaper.
However, the content of the newspaper is over here, but the story of Tsukamoto... is not over yet.
"Unfortunately,'it' won't stop there, its killing has just begun..." Tsukamoto continued, "Two days after Miyamoto committed suicide, there was something that shocked all of Japan in this school. The **** case is known as the '520 tragedy' in history. That day... Several teachers and a dozen students in this school were killed with extremely cruel methods. When the police arrived at the scene, they saw it was like a purgatory on earth. Like a scene, and...seven survivors."
Speaking of this, Tsukamoto seems to have finished his work. He raised his head and glanced at the players: "Those seven are all second-year Class A students, that is...you."
"Wait..." Xiaoling replied, "That's not right... We... There are only six people."
"No, to be precise, it's six ghosts." Tsukamoto continued, "I know... you just listen to me and you will know why there will be six of you in the end."
"Then what..." Xiao sighed as if suddenly remembering something, and then said, "About the tragedy...you said that'it' killed everyone, but...how did the police close the case? "
"That case...there was no result." Tsukamoto replied, "The police finally concluded the case with'the murderer could not be found.' They would rather bear all the pressure of public opinion than'the result of their investigation.' 'Public.'
"Why?" Xiaotan asked again.
"I... seem to have guessed the reason..." At this moment, An Yueqin's expression became a little subtle.
"Oh? What's the reason?" Xiao Ling asked curiously.
"I think..." An Yueqin looked at Tsukamoto, "It's better for him..."
"Hmm..." Tsukamoto breathed out from his nostrils, and continued, "The truth is very hard to accept~IndoMTL.com~ Because the survey results that year showed that... the massacre was yours. Seven surviving children who were only eight years old."
…………
At the same moment, Feng Bujue and Li Ruoyu side.
The two of walked for about five or six minutes in that corridor, and then they saw light in front of them.
They quickly approached the light source and found that it was the exit of the tunnel.
So the two turned off the flashlights in their hands and walked out of this depressed passage.
When Ruoyu, who was walking behind, stepped out of the tunnel, the mirage-like passageway behind the two disappeared. When they looked back, they could only see a few ordinary country roads.
And the scenery that appeared in front of them... was actually the gate of Chongjiu Elementary School.
"Heh...is it some kind of illusion again." Feng Bujue smiled while looking at the brilliant sunshine above his head and the campus bathed in sunshine.
"That's for sure." Ruoyu continued, "Not to mention that it's impossible to dawn so soon, even if you don't consider the time factor... In terms of space, we are now outside of Chongjiu Elementary School. If this is not an illusion, have we already cleared the level?"
"So..." Brother Jue continued, "Let’s go in and have a look?"
"Go." Ruoyu answered.
After , the two of them took a step forward and walked into this "daytime version" of Chongjiu Elementary School... (To be continued.)
