“You see … As long as you dare to face your fear, it’s quite easy to overcome it.” When Feng bujue said that, the entire team had already reached the second floor.
Ghost Hunter’s flashlight had run out of power.
“If someone else said this, I would definitely reply with …’You said it so easily’.” Ghost Hunter’s mood had calmed down a lot, and his tone was calmer when he replied,”but I can’t refute what you said …”
“Haha …” Feng bujue chuckled.”I’ll take that as a compliment.” As he spoke, he walked forward and picked up the pair of shoes on the ground.
[Name: cunning ghost boots]
!!
[Type: Armor]
[Rarity: excellent]
Defense: medium
[Attribute: none]
[Special effect: when the trap is close to a fixed form, it will emit a black mist as a warning.]
Equip requirement: male, level 8 and above, feet size less than or equal to 39, bound after equipping.
[Able to bring out of the scenario: yes]
[Remark: a pair of boots left behind by a cunning ghost after its soul was destroyed.]
“Eh? It’s a piece of equipment … I thought it would be a quest item. ” After Feng bujue finished reading the item description, he handed the boots to ghost hunter.”You solved the trap in this section, so you can take the reward.”
The demon ghost didn’t show any courtesy to the other party, and took the boots first.
“Hmm … The attributes are just so-so,” The demon ghost looked at the equipment and said,”but it’s not useless …” As he spoke, he tied the two boots together with shoelaces and threw them on his shoulder.”In short … I’ll take them.”
He was a professional player under regulation after all, so he could still evaluate the value of an equipment. So he also knew that such an item belonged to the type that could be sold at a reasonable price in the auction house. Of course, he didn’t have to care too much about that, because he didn’t have to deal with the loot. There were people in the studio who were responsible for distributing the tradable equipment and skills.
“Okay, you don’t look like you need to rest. Let’s not waste any time and continue our journey.” Two seconds later, Feng bujue turned around to say to the group and waved at Xiao Tan, asking him to lead the way.
However, at this moment, Xiao Tan suggested,””Brother Jue, I think … You should lead the way. I’ll give you the flashlight.”
“Hmm …” Hearing that, Feng bujue was silent for a second before saying,”okay, I’ll do it.”
“Hey!” Seeing this, ghost hunter was shocked.”Why did you become so easy to talk to when he made a request to you? When I previously raised objections to your command, you were criticizing me!”
“Because he’s injured.” Feng bujue did not even think about it and replied in a matter-of-fact tone,”if you had a piece of flesh cut off by the monster earlier, I would have taken care of you.”
This reason was indeed reasonable and there was nothing to pick on.
“Okay, okay … You’re always right …” Ghost hunter squinted, pouted, and mumbled. He didn’t continue.
Brother Jue had already taken the flashlight from Xiao Tan and walked to the front of the group. As he walked, he said,””Also, let me walk in front … I can help you block most of the ‘shock you’ plot, right? It’ll be good for your terror points rating. ”
“Come on! Other than you, the rest of us have already been scared many times.” An Yueqin continued,”it’s fine as long as we can clear this scenario. I don’t care about the rating anymore.”
“You’re right,” RUO Yu nodded and added,”this scenario is indeed a little scary. There are a lot of scary scenes … Our rating is basically hopeless.” Then, she turned to brother Jue and changed the topic.”But … Even if we ignore the terror points, I still support you to walk in front because you are much more efficient than us in this scenario. Most of us will be affected by fear, but you will not … In this critical moment, you are the most suitable person to lead the way.”
As they were talking, brother Jue did not stop, and everyone followed closely behind him.
The layout of the second floor was different from the first floor. The s.p.a.ce here was very small, and after going up the stairs, the corridor in front of them could be seen at a glance. And there were only two rooms in total …
Feng bujue did not rush to open the door. He first walked to the end of the corridor and checked a window that was located there.
Just like the windows in the biology cla.s.sroom on the first floor, the window here “faced outside the school.” Because it was on the second floor, one could see further from here.
“Everyone … If I’m not mistaken, that’s a tokuchi?” Brother Jue stood in front of the window and looked out for a few seconds before he suddenly said,”
Before he finished, Xiao Ling and Xiao Tan both leaned over. Putting aside the bonus factors in the game, the two of them had excellent vision in real life. When they encountered this kind of work that required good eyesight, the two of them would usually volunteer to help.
“Yes … That’s right.” With the help of the bright moonlight outside, Xiao Tan quickly confirmed that.”It’s on that mountain path.”
“I saw it too. It’s Red, so it must be Torii.” Xiao Ling added.
“In other words … After pa.s.sing through that small forest and walking up the mountain road, there will be a shrine not far away, right?” Feng bujue added.
“You mean …” Ghost hunter immediately understood something from his words.”The sacrifice I saw on the news …”
“The three societies ‘sacrifice.” An Yueqin gave a timely reminder.
“Oh, right … The three societies ‘sacrifice.” The demon ghost continued,”you mean, the place where the ceremony is held is not far from this school, so … It might be related to the series of supernatural events that happened here?”
“I don’t know about that. There’s not enough information at the moment.” As Feng bujue spoke, he turned around and signaled for everyone to follow him back.”From what I know … The general meaning of the ‘Tri-society Festival’ is a traditional event that has been pa.s.sed down since the Edo period. The event is held in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. In general, it’s something like carrying a palanquin and walking on the streets … But the town where this chongjiu primary school is located, or rather, the so-called ‘Tri-society Festival’ in their ‘village’, I don’t know what it is exactly for.”
When he said that, Feng bujue had already reached the door to the ‘Chairman’s Room’ on the second floor. Just across from this door was the ‘warehouse’ that had a fire.
“I’ll try this door first …” Brother Jue stood there and thought for two seconds before turning to the door of the ‘warehouse’.
[This door is sealed by a dark force.]
“Okay …” After getting that expected hint, Feng bujue looked at his teammates and shrugged. Then he took out the key to the director’s office and opened the door.
The door of this room was different from all the other doors before. It was not a horizontal sliding door, but an ordinary sliding door.
Therefore, Feng bujue did not pull the door open horizontally but pushed it open.
“Ah, ah, ah.” The moment the door was pushed open, a low groan came from the room behind the door, and along with it … There was a strong smell of alcohol.
“Ha …” When Feng bujue caught the scent, he chuckled.”This hint is quite obvious.” As he walked through the door, he said,”you just want to tell us that princ.i.p.al Wanwan is a drunkard who gets drunk and makes trouble, right?”
The time after the door was opened was the time when most of the scares would happen. Even though brother Jue’s words made sense, the others did not seem to have any intention of responding. They were all tensed up, ready for some kind of emergency.
Ten seconds later, all six players walked into the princ.i.p.al’s office.
If the biology cla.s.sroom on the first floor had a relatively small “activity area,” then this one … Was purely small in size.
It was about 30 square meters in size, with a desk, three solid wood chairs, and a large bookcase. The desk and the bookshelf were naturally for the princ.i.p.al’s office. As for the chairs … It was obvious that one was for the princ.i.p.al to sit on his own, and the other two were for the visiting parents.
In addition, there was also a window in the princ.i.p.al’s office.
The moment Feng bujue entered the room, he ran to the window, wanting to know what he could see through the window.
In the end, he saw the school field and …
“Oh? That’s weird …”Feng bujue stood at the window for a few seconds before he said that.
“What’s wrong?” Ghost hunter was the closest to him, so he leaned over to take a look.”You saw it again … Ah!” He did not finish his sentence because halfway through, he saw what brother Jue had seen, so he cried out in shock.
“What’s the situation? What did you see?” The other people in the team were shocked by him and turned around to ask.
“There’s … There’s someone outside!” GUI Xiao stammered.
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered by the window and looked out.
At this moment, on the empty field of the school, there was a figure standing. With the help of the moonlight, she could tell that it was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt, black suit pants, and a pair of gla.s.ses.
He looked like a very ordinary office worker. He was slightly fat, had an ordinary appearance, and his hair was very ordinary.
In fact, if he just stood there, ghost hunter wouldn’t be scared. The problem was … He was looking up at the window of the princ.i.p.al’s office and staring at the players. This … Was a little creepy.
“Brother Jue, this … What should we do?” Xiao Tan still sought Feng bujue’s opinion first.
“Time is of the essence. You guys search the room first. I’ll try to communicate with him.” When Feng bujue replied, he had already raised his right hand to wave at the person on the field.
“Be careful.” When RUO Yu heard Feng bujue’s order, she did not waste a second. She immediately turned on her flashlight and ran toward the office desk.
The others hesitated for a moment and left the window one after another.
And so, the investigation of the princ.i.p.al’s office began.
This time, the players were all racing against time and were very agile, taking only four minutes to get everything done.
The final result was as follows:
First, the phone on the desk was not connected to the telephone line, and it looked like a decoration.
Two, the desk had a total of one large and two small drawers. Only the small drawer on the left could be opened. The large drawer in the middle and the small drawer on the right both had a “key needed” notification.
Thirdly, there was a black-and-white photo in the drawer that could be opened. There was no description of the item in the photo, and no date or text could be found on the photo. The content of the photo … Was the half-body of a seven or eight-year-old boy who did not look cute at all.
Four, there were a lot of doc.u.ments and materials on the bookshelf, but 99% of the contents were invisible, which was irrelevant information that had been “blurred by the system”. However, there was a large photo … Which was still quite clear. On the back of the photo, there was a line of words: [shohe year 46, Year 1 cla.s.s A].
“Okay, it looks like … Everyone’s pretty much done.” Four minutes later, Feng bujue turned around and said to his teammates,”
“Well, there aren’t many places to search in this room.” RUO Yu replied and asked,”how’s it going on your side?”
“No reaction.” Feng bujue replied.
“Be more specific,” RUO Yu said.
“To be more specific …” Feng bujue continued.”I waved at him, waved the flashlight, made a peace gesture like those in StarCraft, made a funny face, and gave him the middle finger … In short, I did everything I could. If the system did not stop me, I would have taken off my pants before the window …” He paused for two seconds.”But the man just stood there with the same expression and continued to stare at me. There was no reaction.”
“Alright …” RUO Yu realized that she shouldn’t have asked.
To make a long story short, since the conversation with the mysterious man outside the window was fruitless, the players decided to ignore him for the time being. After they exchanged the results of their search, they entered the mystery-solving stage …
“Then … The entry point must be these two photos,” Feng bujue looked at the two pictures on the table and read,”this ‘Year 1 cla.s.s A of Showa year 46’ is naturally the Year 2 cla.s.s A of Showa year 47; In other words … The people in this group photo can only be called ‘Year 2 cla.s.s A’ if they are together with the teacher and the students. ”
“You’re saying …” Ling followed brother Jue’s train of thought and said,”the hidden mission that we received,’investigate the whereabouts of everyone in Year 2 cla.s.s A’, not only requires us to find out where the nine students went, but also the ending of everyone in this group photo?”
“Yes, that’s for sure.” Feng bujue continued,”thankfully … We have three people’s whereabouts confirmed.” He pointed at a child in the photo and said,”this is hideji Noguchi. He died in front of a locker in the cla.s.sroom on May 14, the 47th year of Showa.” He paused for a second and moved his fingers slightly.”This is the female ghost we met in the music cla.s.sroom. She’s probably the music teacher … Although we don’t know the exact time of death, she must have died in the big cabinet in the cla.s.sroom.”
“You can still recognize a corpse that has turned into a skeleton?” GUI Xiao asked doubtfully.
“Didn’t she hang upside down to show off her face when we opened the door?” Feng bujue replied calmly,”you guys didn’t get a good look, but I saw that face very clearly from a close distance.”
This answer was very convincing …
“Now … Let’s talk about the third one …” Feng bujue said as he pointed at the other person in the picture.”This one in the white coat, if I’m not mistaken … It’s the pile of Italy in the biology cla.s.sroom.”
