Hearing this, Nakahara Chuya had already vaguely guessed the direction of this story in his heart.

Hengchuan breathed a sigh of relief, he half-closed his eyes, and continued: "He didn't expect that what he did would be discovered by others, and he wanted to kill that girl immediately to silence her, but the distance between the two of them was too far. It was too late to catch her. So he went back to the office, called up the girl's file, and called her parents."

"After the girl escaped from school, her first reaction was to go home and discuss with her parents, and they went to the police station to call the police, but unexpectedly saw her mother who was chatting with [Finger] on the phone. He asked the girl to answer the phone, And threatened her. If she doesn't want to be retaliated against and dismissed by the school, she must conceal this matter and help him cover up the real cause of death together."

"She agreed." Nakahara Chuya said.

"That's right." Yokokawa nodded and sneered: "It's ridiculous, because she was afraid of that man and because she was afraid of being fired, she just perjured up so peacefully, making the death of her so-called 'best friend' a A childish accident of suicide following the legend. Nobody knows she was murdered, and the real killer is still lurking in the background."

"You should have guessed it, the way he covered up the real cause of death."

"[Fox Staircase]" Nakahara Zhongya said firmly.

Yokokawa sneered, and the hatred in his tone became stronger and stronger: "He fabricated a legend about [Fox Staircase], and then deliberately sandwiched it in a book, placed it in a conspicuous place in the library, and then put it on the borrowing card Write the girl's name on it. Then, with the help of the girl's best friend, the legend of this 'accidental' discovery spread throughout the campus, and the death of that girl is the best proof."

"But to maintain the legend of [Fox Staircase], the death of one person is not enough."

Nakahara Chuya's pupils shrank, and he suddenly realized something: "The subsequent deaths were also..."

"I'm afraid so. He designed the serial deaths of several students, and finally 'completed' the legend. What he didn't expect was that after he stopped committing crimes, the deaths would not stop. Originally, it was only used to The lie that covered up the murder incident turned out to be true."

Nakahara didn't speak either, just lowered his head in thought, and then he heard Yokokawa continue: "Have you ever heard of such a legend, when everyone believes in the same thing, it will come true. I think I’m afraid [Fox Staircase] is like this. Originally it was just a man-made accident, but after enough people believed in this legend, the legend became true.”

"Later, he did not know where to find a master, and after a pretentious Dharma meeting, no one died in the school, and gradually everyone forgot about it."

"However, these are just stories I heard from other people." Heng Chuan smiled, and his tone returned to the usual relaxed tone, as if the person who gritted his teeth when he narrated just now was not him, he ordered again: "I It’s just what I heard from other people! I’m not even sure about the truth, so don’t talk nonsense with others!”

"No." Nakahara Nakata responded casually, but his thoughts were still trapped in the story Yokokawa just narrated.

If what Yokokawa said is true, then the context of the [Fox Staircase] incident is very obvious.The principal who deliberately murdered fabricated the legend of "Fox Staircase", and killed several people in a row, but because the legend was taken seriously, it turned into reality. After being stopped by the master, for some reason, he made trouble on campus again ten years later .

But Zhong Yuanzhong also always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't tell where it was strange.

And that master, did he really just do a puja at school?What is the purpose of the secret room hidden in the principal's office?

Thinking of this, Nakahara Chuya asked again: "Speaking of which, do you know the name of the first female student who died and her girlfriend?"

"Are you joking, how would I know?" Yokokawa laughed: "I'm just a person who listens to stories."

As for the authenticity of his words, only Yokokawa himself knows.

Nakahara also knew that Yokokawa would not reveal too much information, and he didn't pursue it further. He planned to go to the Fox Staircase with Osamu Dazai after school, but he didn't expect another exclamation in his ear: " Ah! Someone, someone is going to jump off the building!"

Zhong Yuanzhong was also stunned for a moment, and looked out the window suddenly, but saw a boy standing on the edge of the roof on the opposite teaching building, trembling as if he was about to fall in the next moment.

How can it be so fast!

Counting, two students have died today!If you look back at the previous death frequency, basically one per day, or one per two days.And counting the boy who was about to jump off the building, he was already the third person who died today!

Here is a copy of the game. In order for the game to continue, students will never be allowed to leave the school.If this momentum continues, half of the students in the school will die in a short time.

There was another exclamation, and the boy who came out of the roof leaned outwards and just fell down like this.

No matter, let's save the next person first!

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about it, trying to wrap himself with gravity for the first time, and rushed towards the opponent, but there was someone faster than him.

A yellow ribbon extended down from the rooftop, wrapped around the boy's arm with lightning speed, and hung him in the air abruptly.

This ribbon - it's Basami!

There was a smile on the corner of Zhongyuan Zhongye's lips, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

Sure enough, it would be much more convenient for teammates to be reliable. Judging by Ba Mami's posture, I'm afraid she was ready early.

On the opposite teaching building, a window was opened, Dazai Osamu stood behind the window, and made several gestures towards Nakahara Nakaya from afar.

Nakahara also quickly received a message from Osamu Dazai - gather in the conference room after school tonight.

The meeting room was the grocery room that Kinoshita and the others found before, and Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded to express his understanding.

The relaxed Nakahara didn't notice the surprise and puzzlement in the eyes of Yokokawa standing behind him.

This attempted suicide incident made the campus flustered for a moment, but after all, there were no more deaths, which made many students feel relieved.

Another afternoon passed, Nakahara Chuya, who couldn't sit still in the classroom, immediately picked up his schoolbag and escaped from the classroom, rushing to the utility room.

Osamu Dazai and the others waited there early.Just in case, after everyone entered the utility room, Ba Mami used magic to make a small seal on the door to prevent anyone from breaking in here suddenly.If someone tries to destroy this door, she will be able to notice it immediately.

After everyone was seated, Zhongyuan Zhong also said all the news he heard from Hengchuan without hesitation.

"So, everything is caused by the principal..." Osamu Dazai rubbed his chin and pondered: "The process of the dungeon is very close to the game, if this is regarded as a game, then the game will not give too much What a useless piece of information, especially when two important pieces of information go to one person." He stretched out his finger, and tapped a point on the paper where he had recorded the key information: "Mayumi Sato."

"If I play games, then when I see this person, I will definitely investigate her immediately, and..." Osamu Dazai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chuya Nakahara in confusion: "You have been looking at me What are you doing? You have weird eyes."

Nakahara Chuya put away the weird smile that he was trying to suppress on his face, calmly looked away from Dazai Osamu, and said: "It's nothing, you continue to talk."

He would not tell Osamu Dazai that his clue was obtained at the expense of Osamu Dazai's future sex life.

Osamu Dazai rubbed his nose and became more and more strange, but he didn't think much about it, and continued: "Also, there is a special mention of a person in Yokokawa's story, that best friend."

Kinoshita suddenly said: "I understand what you mean. It's like I am playing a game. If there is a character whose true identity is not clear at hand, and there happens to be another key character who overlaps with that unclear character's identity on the other side, Then according to the routine of the game, these two people are probably the same person."

Osamu Dazai nodded in affirmation, and circled the two names "Yokokawa Reiko" and "Sato Mayumi" with a pen: "We can basically confirm that the first girl who died was Yokokawa Reiko, the classmate in Nakaya class. Yokokawa is largely her younger brother. As for Mayumi Sato, if nothing else happens, she is the best friend back then. I think she will choose to return to this school after graduation because of the incident ten years ago."

"But Mayumi Sato hasn't shown up since the afternoon." Zhong Yuan frowned: "A teacher told us that she had something to leave school in the afternoon, and she hasn't shown up until now."

"Key characters in the game will not leave the dungeon area at will." Osamu Dazai's expression became serious: "It seems that we have to move faster. If my guess is correct, there may be an accident with Mayumi Sato."

"Leave this to me." Kinoshita raised his hand: "My blood is a werewolf. As long as I can have something from Mayumi Sato, I can judge her location based on the smell."

"Okay, then let's go directly to her office." Nakahara Zhongya was about to leave, but was stopped by Ba Mamei who suddenly said: "I have one more thing to tell you."

"what?"

"You have all seen the suicide incident this afternoon, right? I checked the male student on purpose after I rescued him." Ba Mamei's face became more serious: "That boy was cursed!"

"curse?"

"It seems that it should be done by a magician, and the possibility of props is not ruled out." Ba Mamei said coldly: "The incident in the afternoon is man-made!"

"Are you sure that boy is the one who went to [Fox Stairs] to make a wish?" Osamu Dazai asked suddenly, and Ba Mami shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, that boy is still asleep. I took protective measures beside him, If any accident happens, I will know immediately, and at least temporarily protect his safety."

Everyone has witnessed Ba Mami's ability, and they felt relieved when they heard this, but Dazai Osamu said: "They are completing the 'closed loop'."

"closed loop?"

"Look, every time a student commits suicide, the person who made a wish on the [Fox Staircase] will jump off the roof. Before someone made a wish to kill Chuuya, Chuya did not die, and wanted to kill Chuya The female ghost was also eliminated by us, but the person who made the wish was still killed. And when she committed suicide, we happened to be trapped in the enchantment."

"Do you think 'that side' did her death?" Nakahara Chuya said.

"This possibility is not ruled out, or in other words, the possibility is very high." Osamu Dazai's eyes fell on Mayumi Sato's name, his eyes became more serious: "It seems that we need to walk the [Fox Staircase] once."
