——The specific steps are as follows: Please prepare 7 candles and 44 white rice in advance, and return to Room 12 after 205 midnight.

——Put 7 candles in a circle in the center of Room 205, light the candles, close your eyes, and throw rice grains into the middle of the candle circle one by one until all 44 rice grains are thrown away, and you will get the answer you want to know.

——Reminder: Remember that no matter what movement you hear, you cannot open your eyes until you have thrown all 44 rice grains.Remember! !

After reading the system's prompt, Xu Ming's expression was solemn.

In the original work, the friends of Jixingliao like to gather in Zenji Marui's room, which is Room 205.

The farewell party on the evening of June 6 was no exception.

Something must have happened at the farewell party that night, which led to the disappearance of most of the members of Ji Xing Liao.

Just follow the steps prompted by the system, and Xu Ming will know the answer.

But the scarlet font in the last paragraph of the system seemed to warn Xu Ming that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Taking advantage of the early time, Xu Ming continued to search in the mansion.

结果徐明在208、211、107、112、116分别发现了五个整理好的行礼箱。

There should have been a nameplate at the door of each dormitory in Jixing Liao, but the writing on it has become blurred.

Xu Ming can only make a judgment based on the books left in the room.

The five suitcases belonged to Jun Ibuzaki, Daigo Aoki, Shoji Sato, Ryoko Sakaki, and Yuki Yoshino.

These untaken suitcases supported Xu Ming's guess from the side.

Room 205, which is next to 206, belongs to Yisehui, the seventh member of the original ten heroes.

He was also the first missing student in Jixing Liao.

Xu Ming was in his room, but found nothing.

The clothes are neatly stacked in the closet, the quilts are neatly stacked on the bed, and the textbooks are neatly placed in a corner of the desk.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, Yisehui didn't seem to have traveled far, as if he disappeared suddenly.

Of course, it does not rule out that someone came to tidy up the room afterwards.

However, Ji Xing Liao had called the police. After the police came, they would definitely tell them not to destroy the scene, so this possibility is very small.

After that, Xu Ming never found any useful clues in the mansion.

So Xu Ming began to prepare for the night's action.

There are still people living in Jixing Liao, so Xu Ming easily found white rice in the kitchen, and packed a handful in a plastic bag.This amount is definitely more than 44 capsules.

As for the candles, if you run out to buy them, you will spend at least three or four hours.

It is now 3 pm, and the sun is almost setting when I come back from the outside.

Traveling through the mountains and forests of Yuanyue in dim light conditions, you may encounter unknown dangers.

As a last resort, Xu Ming had to ask Granny Wenxu for help.

"Why do you have so much trouble, boy? There are no candles here! If you want to go out and buy it yourself! It's best not to come back forever!"

Granny Wenxu scolded Xu Ming all over her face.

But Xu Ming, who had already understood part of the truth, heard a different meaning from her words.

Granny Wen Xu obviously knew some inside information, but for some reason, she didn't, or couldn't tell him.

Therefore, she deliberately showed such a bad attitude in order to drive him away.

Xu Ming talked about it, but Granny Wenxu saw Xu Ming's attitude was very firm, and in the end she had no choice but to find a spare candle for him in case of a power outage.

Everything is ready.

Next, Xu Ming needs to choose a room and wait patiently for the arrival of 12 midnight.

He could have taken a chance and waited directly in room 205.

However, since the system marked it out and asked him to follow the steps, with such a serious tone, Xu Ming gave up this tricky idea just to be on the safe side.

Everyone in Jixing Liao may have disappeared collectively in room 205. Who knows what terrible changes will happen in room 12 during the period from dark to midnight.

In the same way, Xu Ming also ruled out the adjacent room 206. The owner of this room, Yisehui, was the first to disappear. Maybe room 206 is the most dangerous in the entire Jixing apartment.

In addition, according to Granny Wenxu, wandering outside the room after dark is also dangerous.

After comprehensive consideration, Xu Ming chose the empty room that was closest to Room 205 and was once unoccupied—Room 204.

Xu Ming had already made up his mind that after dark, no matter what happened outside, he would stay in room 204 until 12 midnight, and immediately rushed to room 205 next door as fast as possible.

When he came to Room 204, Xu Ming opened the door casually.

Perhaps because Yuanyue Tea House closed down, Granny Wenxu was too lazy to manage Ji Xing Lao, and most of the rooms in the mansion could be opened easily.

Now it is convenient for Xu Ming.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if it's locked, for Xu Ming it's just a little effort.

After entering, Xu Ming locked the door and found a place near the window to sit down.

Waiting is torture.

Fortunately, there are mobile phones to pass the time.

Xu Ming took out his mobile phone from his pocket and began to carefully check the news related to Yuanyue on the Internet.

Xu Ming kept sliding his fingers on the screen, and Xu Ming's expression gradually became serious.

From the Internet, Xu Ming discovered a terrible fact.

Except for Tosuke Kijima, the third member of the original Ten Elites, and Somaki Saito, the fifth member of the original group, who dropped out of school and returned home to inherit the family business.

None of the remaining ten heroes were spared, either died or disappeared.

Even Mr. Nakiri Senzaemon, the former commander-in-chief who was seized by Nakiri Thistle, has disappeared.

After Yuanyue teahouse was forcibly closed, Nakiriji also disappeared from public view.

At present, all the industries of Yuanyue Group except Yuanyue tea house, such as resorts and research institutes in various places, are all in charge of Nakiri Zongwei, the orthodox heir of the Nakiri family.

Although it only closed a culinary school with low profitability, after losing the gold-lettered signboard of "Japan's No. 50 Cuisine Giant", Yuanyue Group's vitality was severely damaged, and its stock price plummeted by [-]%.

It stands to reason that such a large-scale disappearance occurred in the entire academy, and the disappearance was still a celebrity, so the Tokyo city officials would investigate clearly, at least to give an explanation.

However, after the initial large-scale search, the officials did not know whether it was giving up or for some other reason, and gradually began to downplay the matter.

From various news reports, we can also see signs of people manipulating public opinion.

Netizens are forgetful. After only half a year, after the initial enthusiasm, under the deliberate suppression of the government and the shift of interest of netizens, the Yuanyue incident quickly became less interesting.

The reason why Xu Ming believed that public opinion had been manipulated was because he found that the journalists who were known as the uncrowned kings and liked to dig into the bottom line rarely only reported roughly on this incident.

For example, Teruji Kuga, who was the first to die, only recorded the time of the fire, the number of deaths, and the approximate cause of the fire in the news. Other than that, there are no more detailed details at all.

Afterwards, the disappearance of the Top Ten and the students was just a matter of routine, with a brief report on the progress of the search.

As we all know, in this Internet age, there is a large amount of information, and there is no exaggerated title or exaggerated content, which simply cannot attract the attention of netizens.

But the report about Yuanyue was deliberately made into such a boring and boring thing, as if afraid of being noticed.

It would be fine if only one report was like this, but almost all the reports on the Internet were like this, so Xu Ming couldn't help but doubt it.

Behind the Yuanyue incident, there seems to be an incomparably huge hand of shadow, covering the entire Yuanyue Tea House.

I used my mobile phone to pass the time, the time passed quickly, and the sun had already set in the blink of an eye.

Xu Ming took out the pre-prepared biscuits and mineral water from his backpack, and had a simple dinner.

After slapping the debris off his hands, Xu Ming stood up and looked out the window at the forest.

Gradually shrouded in the dark night, the tall trees in the distance are like deformed monsters, baring their teeth and claws under the night wind.

Suo Suo's rustling noises, grotesque shadows, and the forest in the dark present a strange sense of spookiness, which is several times more terrifying than the bright sun in the daytime.

Xu Ming didn't know if it was because of the large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains or other reasons, the air in the mansion exuded a bone-deep chill.

What made Xu Ming feel even more strange was that there were obviously people living upstairs and downstairs, but now the whole mansion was quiet, with no sound at all, as if he was the only one staying in the mansion.

Thinking to no avail, Xu Ming sat down against the wall and began to fiddle with the phone absently.

Time passed slowly, Xu Ming glanced at the upper left of the screen, it was already 9:00 in the evening.

The entire mansion was still silent, without any movement.

Could it be that I was too nervous, after all, the task difficulty is only half a star...

Just as Xu Ming thought this way, he suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps in the corridor, the sound was hurried and chaotic.

His face suddenly changed.

From the sound of footsteps alone, at least three or four people can be identified.

But there are only three people including him in the whole mansion, and one of them is an old man...

Xu Ming stared at the door subconsciously, and at the same time he couldn't help holding the fruit knife, even though he knew whether the knife was useful or not.

The sound of footsteps came from the first floor to the second floor, passing by the door of his room, then went up to the third floor, and soon disappeared again.

The mansion was once again silent.

But now Xu Ming didn't dare to be careless.

He put away his phone, then quietly retreated to the corner, away from the window, while staring at the door.

Time began to grow extraordinarily long.

It seems like 1 hour has passed... 2 hours... 3 hours...

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Xu Ming finally couldn't help taking out his phone and glanced at the time on the screen.

Only to find that it was only half an hour.

At this moment, Xu Ming suddenly smelled a strong smell of smoke! 'Fire! ? '

Xu Ming's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

During the daytime, he found out that although the exterior walls of the entire mansion were made of masonry, a large amount of wood was used for the interior floors, stairs, beams, etc. Once the fire spread, the entire mansion would be engulfed in flames.

In addition, Jixingliao is located in the mountains and forests, and fire engines cannot enter at all.
