After confirming the “size” of the five bottles of wine, the next step was relatively simple.

As mentioned before, the pattern of the tower of hannota was easy to grasp. There was no reason why RUO Yu could not solve it.

Just like that, after another three minutes, the five bottles of wine had been moved to the bottom row of the wine rack, and the steps taken during this time were theoretically the least.

After the last bottle of wine was placed back in place, the sound of machinery and gears suddenly came from the wall beside RUO Yu.

Seeing that, Feng bujue immediately stepped forward.””This place … Let me stand in front.”

In a place like this where there was a chance of danger, brother Jue would usually rush to the front. It was not that he had a high spirit of sacrifice, but he believed that this choice was more efficient and safer.

Creak creak

Just as brother Jue and RUO Yu were switching positions, the wall at the end of the wine cellar slowly opened.

Behind the wall, a long, dark tunnel appeared; The four walls of the tunnel seemed to be natural stone walls that had not been carved. The height and width were similar to the wine cellar, but … The depth was unknown. There was no end to it at a glance, only that it meandered forward …

“This road … Doesn’t feel right.” RUO Yu peeked inside and said,”the wine cellar below the princ.i.p.al’s office should be in the s.p.a.ce between the first and second floor of the school, but this road …”

“It’s fine. This means … From here on, we’re going to enter a kind of subs.p.a.ce-like area.” Feng bujue took over her words and said,”the few settings before us are obviously generated by the system and have little to do with the princ.i.p.al … If I’m not mistaken, if we continue moving forward, we will be close to the final plot …”

…………

He then turned to look at Xiao Tan’s side.

Since brother Jue was not there, an Yueqin, who had a flashlight in her hand, started to lead the way.

After leaving the princ.i.p.al’s office, the four of them carefully went down to the first floor.

Since the ‘whoosh’ sound was the sound of a door being pulled open, their search target was naturally the rooms with sliding doors.

Fortunately, the s.p.a.ce in the school was not large. The players stood at the entrance of the stairs and looked left and right, and they found the abnormality …

At this moment, within their field of vision, the cla.s.srooms that had been opened earlier were still open. That was to say … The doors had not changed.

However, the door of the “instructor’s office”, which was supposed to be closed, had been opened.

“That … That should be the one who opened it on the field, right?” Xiao Tan looked at the door and lowered his voice to read to his teammates.

“From the way he opened the door to the instructor’s office …” Demon ghost continued,”he might be a teacher in this school?”

“Maybe,” “But he’s definitely not the Teacher of Year 2 cla.s.s A,” Ling continued. She explained,”because he’s not one of the four adults in the group photo.”

“I think … He might be Watanabe, the cla.s.s monitor, when he grows up.” An Yueqin turned around and said.

“Well, that’s possible.” Xiao Tan nodded.”So far, all the NPCs … Or monsters that we’ve seen, they all seem to be the people in the group photo from Year 2 cla.s.s A.”

“No… There’s one … I can’t be sure.” “Yes.” The demon ghost answered immediately.”The guy who was lying on the gla.s.s window of the cla.s.sroom and then turned into black mist at the stairs.” He paused for half a second and tried to recall.”I’ve seen his face … He’s not among the four adults in the photo.” He then looked up at his teammates and said in a deep voice,”if that guy is the cla.s.s monitor Watanabe …”

“Then, who’s the man on the field?” Xiao Tan finished his sentence and fell into deep thought.

“No matter who it is, let’s move forward first …” An Yueqin took a deep breath and said,”phew … Putting aside the two people trapped upstairs, the two flashlights we have in our hands probably won’t last long, so …”

As she spoke, she strode forward and walked toward the office. The other three didn’t say anything else and just followed closely behind.

After a few steps, they arrived at the door of the ‘instructor’s office’.

And what was waiting for them was …

“I’m sorry I’m late,” The man in the room said to the players as soon as they showed up.

This man was the mysterious man who had been standing on the field and looking up at the school.

He spoke very quickly and did not have the eerie feeling that ghosts had. He also had a flashlight in his hand.

All these signs indicated that … This guy seemed to be a living person.

“Who are you?” An Yueqin asked,”what are you … Doing?”

At this moment, the man was indeed busy with some things. He spread out a few pieces of paper on the desk and wrote some strange characters on it with a brush that he got from somewhere.

“What’s wrong?” After hearing an Yueqin’s question, the man suddenly stopped what he was doing and suspiciously looked up at the players.”You … Can’t remember again?”

“What do you mean …” Xiao Tan also picked up on something from the man’s words and asked,”you ‘can’t remember’ again?”

“Ah … As expected.” The man seemed to have confirmed something. He continued,”after all, you’ve been lost ‘for too long. It’s normal to forget.”

“Then can you explain it to us?” An Yueqin, who was completely confused, asked again.

“My name is Shouta Sugamoto, I’m a yin-yang master.” Sugamoto lowered his head again and continued with his work,”although it may be a little rude to say this, I still have to let you all know … You all died six years ago.”

“What?” When the four of them heard this, they all had the same reaction.

Earlier, Feng bujue’s speculation that the players were ‘all ghosts’ was actually correct.

“Don’t worry, let me explain to you. ” Sugamoto’s att.i.tude gave the impression that … He was already used to such situations. He continued to draw talismans skillfully while saying,”this … Has to start from the 47th year of Showa, which is 26 years ago …”

The players knew that the appearance of this NPC meant that the truth of the plot was about to be revealed, so they didn’t have any intention of interrupting and listened quietly.

“In may of that year, a fire broke out in chongjiu primary school.” Sugamoto began to narrate,”the fire was not too serious, but … It still burned a student to death, and this student was your cla.s.smate … Takas.h.i.+ Suzuki.” He paused for a second, as if to give the players time to digest the information, and then said,”Mr. Chizuki was burned to death in the warehouse just one door away from the princ.i.p.al’s office. Before he died, he knocked on the door desperately for help, but … Unfortunately, the princ.i.p.al, Miyamoto, was an alcoholic. It happened to be lunch break, and Miyamoto, who had no cla.s.s in the afternoon, drank too much and fell asleep in the princ.i.p.al’s office.

“Miyamoto only woke up when the fire engine entered the school. At that time … Mr. Tokuzuki, who was opposite the school, had already entered a state of shock from inhaling too much smoke.

“After that, the dazed Miyamoto saw the smoke and instinctively ran away from the fire. He didn’t know that … Even at that time, if he could open the door on the other side, he would still have time to save Mr. Chizuki.

“However, all of this is only an a.s.sumption … Mr. Tinazuki was still burned to death in the end, and he also became a malicious spirit.

“The next day, he killed another student of your cla.s.s, the takeaway Noguchi hideji. However, at that time, this case was treated as a normal case of missing people, and I only found out about this after some investigation …

“After that, on the third day … It was the day of the three societies ‘Festival. Even though the town was remote and not famous, it had a long history. Since ancient times, the ‘Maw.a.n.g shrine’ here had a self-organized three-society sacrifice, and this custom had been continued.

“But the villagers don’t know that the ceremony that MA w.a.n.g shrine has been holding for thousands of years is not just to pay respects to’ Amitabha ‘,’ Guan Yin ‘, and’ Mais.h.i.+ Bodhisattva ‘… It is to pray for the three bodhisattvas to help the villagers suppress’ its ‘hostility.”

“It?” When he heard the keyword, ghost hunter reacted.”What is ‘it’?”

[Note: in Sugamoto’s original language (in j.a.panese), this “it” can also be translated as “that child (A” NO “KO).”]

“‘It’ was an evil G.o.d that was suppressed in the Maw.a.n.g shrine. No one could remember its name, but it was undoubtedly extremely evil and powerful …” When he said this, Sugamoto seemed to have thought of something, and his hands paused for a moment.”Sigh …” For some reason, he sighed.”Then … On the night of the three society sacrifice, Miyamoto sneaked into the shrine. I think … At that time, he was probably haunted by the malicious spirit that was transformed by tinkagi. Out of fear and desperation, he ran to the shrine to pray for G.o.d’s blessing. But … The one who responded to Miyamoto wasn’t G.o.d, but …’It’.”

“You’re saying …” An Yueqin continued,”Miyamoto released ‘it’?”

“That’s right. Miyamoto destroyed the Dharma forms of the three bodhisattvas and tore up the seal that suppressed ‘it’.” Sugamoto replied in a deep voice,”and ‘it’, who regained its freedom, also fulfilled its promise and helped Miyamoto get rid of Suzuki’s vengeful spirit. But … Miyamoto quickly realized that what he had released was far more terrifying than Suzuki fengi’s Wraith.

“‘It’ first descended on the school at the foot of the shrine mountain. The next day, your cla.s.s teacher, Mr. Sato, encountered ‘it’ and lost his mind.

“Miyamoto didn’t last too long. Two days later, he also committed suicide at home due to excessive fear …”

Up to this point, everything Sugamoto said matched the information brother Jue had found in the old newspapers.

However, the content of the newspaper ended there, but Sugamoto’s story … Was not over.

“Unfortunately,’it’ won’t stop there. Its killing has just begun …” Sugamoto continued,”two days after Miyamoto’s suicide, there was a b.l.o.o.d.y case in this school that shocked the whole of j.a.pan, known as the ‘ 520 tragedy’ in history. That day … Several teachers and a dozen students in this school were killed in extremely cruel ways. When the police arrived at the scene, what they saw was a h.e.l.lish scene, and … Seven survivors. ”

At this point, Sugamoto seemed to have finished his work. He raised his head and glanced at the players.”Those seven people are all second year students from Cla.s.s A, which is … You guys.”

“Wait …” Ling replied,”that can’t be right … We … Only have six people.”

“To be exact, six ghosts.” Sugamoto corrected him,”I know that … If you listen to me, you’ll know why the six of you were left in the end.”

“About that …” Xiao Tan suddenly remembered something and said,”about that murder case … You said that ‘it’ killed everyone, but … How did the police close the case?”

“That case … Has no conclusion.” Sugamoto replied,”the police concluded the case with ‘the murderer was not found’. They … Would rather bear all the pressure from public opinion than to reveal ‘the results of their investigation’.”

“Why?” Xiao Tan asked again.

“I … I think I’ve guessed the reason …” An Yueqin’s expression became a little strange.

“Oh? What’s the reason?” Xiao Ling also asked curiously.

“I think …” An Yueqin looked at Sugamoto,”it’s better for him to say it …”

“Well …” Sugamoto let out a breath through his nostrils and continued,”the truth is hard to accept because the results of the investigation back then showed that the seven of you were the only eight-year-old children who survived the ma.s.sacre.”

…………

At the same time, Feng bujue and Li Ruoyu were on the same side.

The two of them walked quickly in the tunnel for five to six minutes before they saw light ahead.

They quickly approached the light source and found that it was the exit of the tunnel.

Thus, the two of them turned off the flashlights in their hands and walked out of the depressing pa.s.sage.

The moment RUO Yu, who was walking at the back, stepped out of the tunnel, the Mirage-like tunnel entrance behind them disappeared. When they looked back, they could only see a few ordinary country roads.

The scene in front of them … Was the gate of Chong Jiu primary school.

“Ha … Another illusion?” Feng bujue looked at the bright sun above his head and the campus that was bathed in sunlight, and he said with a smile,”

“That’s for sure. ” RUO Yu continued,”let’s not talk about the time factor (it’s impossible for the sun to rise so quickly). In terms of s.p.a.ce, we’re already outside Chong Jiu primary school. If this isn’t an illusion, doesn’t that mean we’ve cleared the level?”

“Then …” Brother Jue said,”shall we go in and take a look?”

“Let’s go,”he said. RUO Yu replied.

The two then walked into the “daytime version” of Chong Jiu elementary school …
