5t5 is also waiting for my confession today

In order to facilitate communication, several of us changed positions and put the tables together to facilitate communication.The desk is not a structure suitable for disassembly. It is said to be "joined together", but in fact, it is just to remove the contents of one of the desks to make a space for the four of us to sit closer together.

"Here are the materials." Yidizhi had prepared the meeting materials a long time ago and distributed them to each of us.

Gojo Satoru took two copies out of his hand, Yidizhi almost shook his hand and slipped the other two copies, I looked at him inexplicably, then Gojo Satoru took out one and threw it to me, while he leaned on the stool with his legs crossed Start flipping through, and make a rustling sound of paper.

"Then it's up to me to explain the situation."

Yi Dizhi, who knew that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, pushed his glasses, and pretended that Cai Wutiao's act of self-improvement did not happen. Instead, he turned to the information page and said, "Please turn to the third page, here is the photo of the deceased's death scene."

"Then, let me explain from the beginning. This is the third case in which the victim had one leg cut off and his eyes gouged out in recent days. We preliminarily speculate that it was caused by a spell attack. The first and the second The remnants of breath can still be found at the scene of the two deceased, but the breath was completely interrupted halfway, leaving nothing behind, as for the third deceased..."

"The scene was clean, and we couldn't find any clues." Wujo Satoru said, "It looks like a case that has nothing to do with the curse, or there are imitators trying to confuse the public."

"Then let me continue to explain—the first victim, Madoka Hoshimura, was found dead at home a week ago. She is a female college student living alone. A friend called her but couldn't reach her, so she was very worried and reported it. Police. After the police broke in, they found Yuanxiang Hoshimura's long-dead body in the bedroom. His left leg was cut off by the roots and his left eye was smashed."

Me: "Smash it?" At this time, I had turned to the next two cases, and the descriptions were obviously discrepant, so I asked, "Didn't the rest of the people have their eyes gouged out?"

"That's right, Xingcun Yuanxiang was smashed. This is also a different location from the second and third cases. The initial guess is that some sharp object was used to stab it directly... Cough, anyway, this is also a suspicious point."

"Continue?" Gojo Satoru threw the document on the table, making a clacking sound, and Yizhizhi, who received the signal, also turned a page and continued to explain according to his request.

"Victim No. [-], Hoshimura Yuanxiang, has no relatives and came to Tokyo alone to study. Last year, he lived in a low-rent apartment and worked two jobs to make ends meet."

Qihai said: "Can you really take care of your studies by working two jobs? There is hardly any breathing time, right?"

"Therefore, the victim must have felt the limitations. This year she simply changed her job and became a bartender. However, she is articulate, quick-witted, and very alert. In addition, she is from a prestigious university, and her monthly income is less than She had to spend a lot of money before, and thanks to this job, she also had some savings, and she recently moved out of a low-rent apartment and moved into a rented house with better conditions."

I raised my hand and asked, "Then, could it be love killing?"

Yi Dizhi nodded: "Indeed, considering professional reasons, the possibility of love killing is not small...but it was quickly ruled out by the police."

Gojo Satoru supported his chin with one hand, and said: "For a deceased with a simple social structure like this, as long as the interpersonal relationship is checked, certain conclusions can be ruled out quickly. If it weren't for the traces of curses and the helplessness of the police, there would be no conclusions in the end." It will be handed over to us to handle it, which is really a big mess."

Because the social relationship of Madoka Hoshimura was clearly written on the report—it was easy to see at a glance.

There is no father or mother, and there is only one friend, a best friend who went to Beijing to work together. However, the best friend only works as a shopping guide in a department store and does not go to school, so they don't spend much time together.In addition, there are only regular customers and the proprietress in the store, and there are less than 15 people in the cage, so it can be found out quickly after investigation.

And these people are all ordinary people without exception, and have nothing to do with curses and curse spirits.

If the conclusion is drawn simply and crudely in this way——

"Hoshimura Yuanxiang most likely died from the curse of the curse spirit, or was targeted by the curse master—combined with her interpersonal relationship, it is more like the former."

Gojo Satoru ruthlessly spits out the conclusion that this is most likely the truth——

"After the police came to this conclusion, they thought we should be responsible?" After finishing speaking, he tilted his neck back boringly, hung on the chair, looked at the ceiling and said, "If this is the truth, As a conjurer, it is also incumbent on him to get rid of the curse."

At this moment, no one bothered to complain about Gojo Wu's overly grandiose speech.

As a result, Gojo Satoru straightened himself up from the stool, sat up straight again, then glanced at the rest of us present, and said regretfully: "I thought I would receive your collective complaints... Everyone's reaction is too cold Bar?"

Yidizhi: "..."

I couldn't help asking Qihai on the left: "... Mr. Gojo, is it always this troublesome when he is working?"

Qihai was not surprised, and stated the facts in a steady tone: "The fact is: he has always been like this."

Gojo Satoru pointed at the two of us—

"I. heard. heard. oh——"

I always felt that it would be troublesome to continue to follow Wujo Wu's train of thought, so I hurriedly raised my head ruthlessly, forgetting Wujo Wu's slightly threatening words.Said to Yi Dizhi: "Senior, please continue."

Yidizhi, who was under the steps, continued to speak with relief: "The deceased did not go to work in the store on the last day before his death. After school, he went to the bookstore to buy basic information books and a new best-selling book. After returning home, he went downstairs again. , bought daily necessities at the convenience store, and then went to Don Quixote to buy some odds and ends...other than that, there is nothing special."

I murmured: "It's because it's too common, too common... so I can't sort out useful information?"

"Yes..." Yidizhi responded weakly.

In today's society, going to a convenience store after school or get off work, or going to buy daily necessities and then going straight home - is simply the standard life of many people. If such traces will attract curses, it is too outrageous.

After Qihai turned over the first few pages of the information, she said, "Let's talk about the second one?"

"The second deceased, Reiko Hakuno, was an illustrator. If there is anything special about it... She is still in high school, but she is out of school at home and living on the remuneration of illustrations. She also has no parents, and lives alone in the house left by her parents. After finishing speaking, he swallowed and continued: "Interpersonal relationships are even simpler than the first deceased. He hardly communicated with anyone. He would buy vegetables and cook by himself, but apart from buying daily necessities Absolutely never go out."

"When it was discovered, it was also missing a leg, and this time the eye was directly gouged out."

"It can be said that the three deceased have no connection or similarity, and there is no overlap in human relationship."

"I have been very concerned about something since just now." Nanami said, "Did the above actions be carried out after the victim's death?"

"No." After Yidizhi's short denial, he added: "The above acts of mutilation were all during his lifetime..."

Did it happen while alive...

What I thought of was the first major disaster in my life, and the pain was beyond words.If those women had suffered the death penalty of gouging out their eyes and cutting off their legs... just thinking about it would make one's hair stand on end and chills run down the spine.

Gojo Satoru said "hmm", and said, "Don't you think it's like performing some kind of ritual? Well, although it may just be a pure novelty hunt."

I asked, "Does mantra spirits have such ritual things?"

Gojo Satoru smiled and said: "There are many kinds of curse spirits, and we can't generalize them. What's more, the possibility of curse spirits committing crimes is quite high, and we can't speculate on the logic of their actions based on ordinary cases. By the way, the curse master's The suspicion is not small."

Qihai nodded: "I also agree with this point. Let's look at the last case again. Mr. Wujo said that no filth was found?"

"Well—it's quite clean, so it's abnormal." He said, "There are only two possibilities: one is that the perpetrator's ability has become stronger and his level has improved—from the comparison of the scene of the first two victims, it can be seen that each The traces have been reduced, so there is such a possibility. Another possibility is: this is another prisoner's case, and it may be just a human being, who made an imitation case after hearing the previous two cases .”

"That's because...the third victim is a bit special." Yizhi sighed, and turned to the last page of the information, "It's Sachiko Hasegawa, the mother of Shota Hasegawa who committed suicide by falling from a building a few days ago."

... No wonder they called me to come together.

As the first witness to Hasegawa Shota's death scene, that shocking scene is still in front of me.

I rubbed my eyebrows and asked, "Does this have something to do with the previous serial falling from buildings? That case hasn't been solved yet, right?"

Having said that, it's really strange that I haven't heard any follow-up on that case in the past few days.

Only then did Yi Dizhi tell the truth in a difficult way: "The investigation has been suppressed, and there is no news of resumption of work yet."

"What..." I widened my eyes.

Can the investigation of a case involving human life be stopped as soon as it is said to stop?Don't you think it's unreasonable?

I suppressed the weirdness in my heart, and listened to Yidizhi continue to explain: "At present, it is said that the police are responsible, and I will not interfere here."

I said blankly: "But the Oshou who brought it back clearly detected traces of the curse..."

"Yes, but it's only that one, and it's very weak and almost disappeared." Yidizhi said helplessly, "There will be other auxiliary supervisors involved in the follow-up investigation, but it's just to accompany the search, unless there is any new progress. The police seem There are plans to seek help from detectives."

I still feel extremely weird in my heart, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, so naturally I can't tolerate me as a small shrimp.

"Only because of the death of Sachiko Hasegawa, the case has changed. It was originally two separate cases of the murder case and the unsolved case of falling from a building, but now because of the death of Hasegawa's mother and son, we doubt whether they are related."

"Also, Ms. Yizhi is probably wondering why she called you?"

Me: "It's precisely because I'm free that the work arrangement is made like this... right?"

"Then, please turn to the photo on the last page."

After these words, everyone in the room was silent, and I turned to the last page in confusion. There was a photo on this page alone with white paper.

It is a photograph of the deceased Sachiko Hasegawa.

Although the years have left many marks on her body, the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the photo are indeed similar to mine, especially the eyes.

I took a deep breath: "...I understand."

All kinds of fragments are connected in series, and I quickly understand the details.

Sachiko Hasegawa also had her legs cut off and her eyes gouged out. It really made me unhappy to see the death on that face that was exactly like him.But there's more to come to mind from this...

"Similar looks, missing the same leg... In addition, there is Shota Hasegawa who died in front of me, and the two are still mother and son."

In addition, the weak interpersonal relationship, the parents are not alive, living alone, it sounds somewhat consistent with me.

I put my fingers on the edge of the table, and I don't know why there is peace in my heart.

I looked down at the gray on the edge of the table——

"Perhaps it may be thought—that I may be in some kind of peril of which the whole picture is unknown?"

What responded to me was Gojo Satoru clapping his hands together, the crisp sound echoing in the office.

I don't know when he took off the blindfold, just lying on his neck, staring at me with blue eyes——

"So far—it does."

After finishing speaking, he changed the subject:

"However, people with ulterior motives don't know when they will attack suddenly, so it's not appropriate to put you in danger so swaggeringly."

The words have come to this point, my eyelids twitched, and I waited for Gojo Satoru to finish the words he had already arranged——

"Let's move to the dormitory of the college before the case is closed. There are many vacant rooms."

"Move to a higher education..."

I repeated Gojo Satoru's words softly, meditating on the meaning, and pondering whether to follow suit.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the eventuality. When I don't know whether I may be involved in danger, of course I have to put my life first.Although it is all speculative at present, it is far from enough to conclude that "it has something to do with me".

However, I still think that I am a life-saving person.

Compared with the two things of "possibly inconvenient living in a high school" and "living in a high school may increase the time to meet Gojo Satoru", of course my little life is more important.

As for the first problem, I can work hard to overcome it, not to mention that the college is located in the suburbs, as long as there are no major issues, it can be called a good place with pleasant scenery and fresh air, and the old architectural style is also unique. Besides, students live in dormitories No, I'm used to it, I'm not so squeamish as an adult.As for the inconvenience caused by physical defects...then find a way to overcome it.

As for the second question, I think as long as I deal with it with a normal heart, it will be fine.

"I see." After making up my mind, I nodded.

After I finished saying this, Gojo Gojo smiled and said something that couldn't be refused——

"Have you misunderstood in the end—you have no right to refuse."

The hand on my leg clenched into a fist.

"Generally speaking, most of the curse spirits wander around in fixed areas. If it is really made by the curse spirit, then there is a high probability that this curse spirit has been subdued and used as a tool. Or it is another special species, after all None of us know the origin and ability of the cursed spirit."

"There is also the possibility of 'Curse Master'."

"What is certain is that they must have some kind of selection condition for the victim, but we have not yet been able to analyze what this condition is. Maybe they are performing some kind of ritual, that is to say, they treat the victim in this way. mutilate, and potentially enhance their abilities."

"Do you understand?" Gojo Satoru asked me.

Those eyes were as refined as the blue sea, and the waves in them broke into irregular fine waves.

I stared at the hopeless situation in his eyes, and blurted out the logic chain that quickly came to my mind: "If I am also killed in the same way, the ability of the perpetrator will be enhanced. So even from this level of consideration, I must In a safe environment, don't go up to give people experience points and BUFF for nothing, it will add unnecessary difficulty to the later work—is that what Mr. Gojo means?"

In short, don't go up and feed the opponent experience points.

If it's too delicious, what strange buffs can I get?

The shadow hit the corner of his upturned mouth, Gojo Satoru stretched out his fingers and said, "Bingo~"

In such a difficult atmosphere, it was Jianren Qihai, a reliable adult man, who brought the rhythm back to the right track.He didn't wear sunglasses at the moment, and he looked slightly tired at the moment, but it didn't affect him.

"If the investigation work is carried out by our four-person team at the same time, the allocation of resources will be too wasteful."

He was telling the truth.

Especially for Gojo Satoru, the big killer, in a four-person team, even I have to put aside all my prejudices and say: it is simply a reckless waste of resources and an extreme waste of resources.

Gojo Satoru seemed to have expected this sentence a long time ago, and said briskly: "That's why we need to divide into two groups. Nanami and Yijizhi are responsible for the progress of the case."

Qihai: "You said something very negative and sabotage, Mr. Gojo. What about your work?"

"My side—" The voice in the ear became clear, because this adult who didn't understand the sense of distance leaned forward, leaned his elbows on the table, looked at me in such a casual posture, and then Continue to talk about the business: "Of course it is to wait by Zhongli's side and wait for the guys with ulterior motives to appear and wipe them out without any effort."

Yidizhi: "..."

Qihai nodded calmly, with "understand" written on his face, he said, "That is to say, Mr. Gojo is not planning to do any investigation work?"

"Ah, I will still do something appropriately."

I:"……"

Why do I feel so insecure?

……

……

Now that I have decided to live in the college for a while, what I have to do now is to go home and get my luggage ready.So after bidding farewell to my seniors, I planned to go home and prepare, but Gojo Gojo followed me inseparably. Before I cast my eyes on him, he answered me one step ahead: "For work and personal relationship, I will naturally protect you until you successfully enter the college."

Right now we are walking towards the parking lot. After hearing what he said, I turned my head slowly, looked at Gojo Satoru's hair fluttering in the wind, and asked him expressionlessly: "Mr. I am very touched by protecting me, but in the reason you just said...in addition to work, there is even a personal relationship?"

"Well, personal affair." Wutiao Wushen agreed to me mysteriously, and didn't say any more.

I had no choice but to drive him to my house, and we remained silent in the car.

After getting out of the car, this person became lively again, humming a song (it seems to be some magical brainwashing song by an idol group), and walking diagonally behind me with his hands in his pockets, which made me a little uncomfortable, because I always It feels like eyes are on the back of my neck.

Gojo Satoru seemed to be in a good mood, and when he met the security guards downstairs, he greeted them with a playful smile.

After getting on the elevator, he lowered his head and asked me, "Aren't you checking your mailbox today?"

I subconsciously said, "I saw it the day before yesterday."

"Ah, is it?"

Gojo Satoru agreed casually.

...His natural, home-like attitude set alarm bells in my heart.Now that I have to move to a higher education institution, the matter of changing the locks has fallen through, and I don’t know when it will be brought up again. Anyway, the locks must be changed.

As we walked slowly to the front of the house, I felt a little dazed.

——I didn’t expect that I would lead Gojo Goto to my door again because of force majeure.

With the level of this person pushing his nose on his face, he would definitely walk in directly.

Sure enough, after I unlocked the door, I didn't push the door immediately, but said to Gojo Satoru, "Mr. Gojo, why don't you just wait for me at the door?"

Gojo Satoru condemned me in disbelief: "Facing the senior who worked so hard to protect you, you choose to ruthlessly reject him, and you don't even give him a sip of tea?"

……Headache.

In the end, I let Gojo Satoru step into this threshold again.

I sighed and had no choice but to push the door open: "Then come in."

Gojo Satoru's unexpected revisit was also a suitable opportunity.Previously, I was still debating whether I should ask his permission to deal with the things he left behind... Now I'll just ask the person directly.

After all, it takes a lot of effort for me to handle it myself. Since Wujo Satoru is here, of course let him do it himself.

I went to the fridge and took out two drinks—both his favorites—and tossed him a bottle.Anyway, if you don’t drink it, you can only leave it expired, and you might as well wait for Gojo Satoru to move away. I don’t know if there is a refrigerator in the dormitory of the college to store these food and drinks.

I twisted the bottle cap and said, "Mr. Gojo."

"Ok?"

"It just so happened that you came here today - you still had some things in my house before, do you want to take them back or throw them away?"
