I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Two months have passed.

Tokyo's weather is starting to get warmer

Before I knew it, I had been living in Tokyo for almost a year.

In such a short period of time, even if the scientific research team recruited by Yokoyoto and Wujo Wujo is a genius among geniuses, they may not be able to produce any results all at once.

Therefore, in the past two months, the changes in the High School of Conjuration are not very obvious. The students should learn to study, exorcising curses, exorcising curses, and the school is specially designated for Hengyang Dou and the scientific research team to do research. The venue...Because the distance is not too far away, I can often hear the sound of explosions from their side, and sometimes there will be fires and other movements in the middle of the night.

Really worked hard.

Although Hengyang Dou gave people the impression of being cowardly and soft when he first appeared, he will not be soft when it is time to catch people for experiments. He often catches knotweed pandas and other students to cooperate in experiments to output spell power and so on. , When necessary, it will also be called Wujo Satoru.

Naturally, these in my family are also within the scope of his catch.

However, the changes in the outside world are obvious.

I don't know when it started, but it is said that apart from Hokkaido, the number of curses in other places in Japan has increased sharply, and the intensity of the curses seems to have increased a lot.

As for why Hokkaido is excluded...I heard that Hokkaido was originally a natural spiritual place or something, I don't quite understand that.

No wonder I didn't encounter many strange things during the years I lived in Hokkaido.

——Generally speaking, in the past, such [sudden intensification of the curse] was accompanied by drastic changes and turmoil in human society.

However, during the period when the intensity of the curse changed, the society was peaceful. There were no inexplicable policies that made people complain, and no major disasters occurred.

But on the contrary, during this period of time, there were suddenly more children with the talent of conjurers who appeared in the scope of the conjurer high school's investigation.

Even before this year's enrollment season, the number of students that Principal Ye Moth and Gojo Satoru have decided to enroll this year has already exceeded three or four times the previous year.

I think, if things go on like this, we don’t need to find a way to expose the existence of curses and spells. Maybe people will already have to find something based on the things caused by various curse events and other clues.

If it were me, without knowing the existence of the magic world, I might base my unreasonable speculation on whether there is an invasion of another world or the end of the world is coming based on the increasingly outrageous and inexplicable news. .some type of.

On the second day, I knew that the second grade Panda and Goujuan were going to a shopping mall in Shinjuku to solve the curse, so I said that I had nothing else to do, so I could drop by and go with them.

It's not the first time that I stopped by to help the students when they went out to exorcise the curse when I was free.

It can also be regarded as helping them relieve the pressure of the surge of curses. Since I handed in the manuscript, I have nothing to do. I didn’t like to go out when I didn’t have nothing to do after I came to the Conjuration College, but now I actively go out.

It's hard to say anything else, Xiaozhihua and Jiao's abilities are quite convenient for saving people, and both of them are about to train the skills of saving people.

As for the doctor, although he is a 'doctor' by profession, he is usually not willing to help others. He will only move if he asks me to 'order', and he will make a bunch of strange demands as compensation afterwards.

Fortunately, the general treatment of Shunping's jellyfish can also be done, and the doctor does not have too many opportunities to raise conditions.

But I overlooked one thing.

It’s okay to come out with other people, but when you come out with pandas, you will always stand out in the crowd.

In particular, the cotton in the panda's curse skeleton is quite full, and it doesn't look so much like a leafleter in a doll costume.

"Dog roll, take a few leaflets." After finding something wrong, I said silently.

Gou Juan Yiyan picked up a few leaflets handed to him by people on the side of the road when he passed by the commercial street, and I also picked up a few leaflets.

I put together the flyers we received and handed them to the panda, "Come on, the panda will pretend to be a staff member in a doll costume who distributes the flyers, so that it won't look so conspicuous."

Dog Roll chimed in, "Salmon."

The panda understood, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Looking at this energetic look, I always feel that the direction of the panda's understanding may be biased?

But it really wasn't that conspicuous.

It is said that the place where the curse haunts is the shopping mall located on one of the busiest commercial streets in Shinjuku. In addition, today is a day off, and there are quite a lot of people in the commercial street. We followed the map and walked to the shopping mall where the target is located.

"Panda! It's a panda! I want to touch it!" A little girl led by her mother was attracted by the panda.

There is more than one child like this.

I found that I still underestimated the panda's attractiveness, but in this case, I definitely can't stop, but if I stop to be touched by one person, then other people may rush to touch the pandaman.

Then it turns out that it's not a doll costume at all.

We speeded up and walked out of this section of the street, and we were relieved when we reached the section with fewer commercial shops.

"It's about three or four hundred meters away." Panda took out his phone and looked at the map decently. "It's almost there."

"What's the specific situation, did you tell me?" I asked.

"It is said that at night, the cleaning staff will hear strange noises when they are cleaning. It is coming from a certain staircase. The cleaning staff who went to check are missing." Panda touched the ears on his head, "Originally this only happened at night, but this week, two people suddenly fell through the glass railing in the shopping mall."

what?

The previous one sounded like a relatively normal curse incident, but the one that fell through the glass railing...

"The latter, isn't it a bean curd dregs project?" I couldn't help but say something.

"Dried bonito." Gouju, who covered his mouth with his collar, shook his head and made an X with his arms.

"As for the railing, it wasn't the glass railing that collapsed that caused people to fall. What the surveillance showed was that when a person was leaning against the glass railing, the glass railing suddenly melted, and then the two people lost their support and fell." Panda said seriously. He added, "It's like passing through a water curtain. After a person falls, when the staff went to check, they found that the glass railing was still the same."

It turned out to be the case.

I thought wistfully.

Compared with many curses encountered before, the curses that may exist in this mall seem to be more tortuous just by looking at the things that are done.It's not that smart to the point of being scary, but it can be seen from these clues that this curse is not incapable of thinking...probably.

And this doesn't seem to be an isolated case. Compared with the curse without thinking ability, when they came out to exorcise the curse, the proportion of curses with thinking ability they encountered seemed to be faintly increasing.

This also made the curses they encountered more and more difficult to solve.

After arriving at the mall, it's time to find people to inquire and collect information.

Gou Juan and Panda Qiqi set their eyes on me.

"I'm counting on you, Master Sake!" Panda put his hands together.

"Salmon roe!"

One of them can't talk casually, and the other has an eye-catching image of a panda, obviously neither of them is suitable for questioning or gathering information, so I'm the only one who can be the talker.

"You don't need to call the teacher outside, just call your name." I agreed, and told them habitually, "Be careful yourself."

I don't know why, but when the second-year students call Gojo Satoru, they always call them by their first names, but when they call me, they call the teacher seriously.

Wouldn't it be because I was afraid that I would assign cultural homework?Can't it?

"Okay, sake!" Panda followed suit.

We act separately here.

I first took a look at the glass railing where the accident had happened.

After the incident, the glass railing has been surrounded, and there is a sign of "under maintenance" outside, and no one walks this way.

I stepped over the yellow vertical board that surrounded the glass railing, walked to the edge of the railing and looked down, and the bottom was also surrounded by a circle of yellow vertical boards.

Because the shopping mall has many divided areas, this area was half-sealed after the accident, and few people came to this area.

After observing for a while to no avail, I went to the person in charge of the mall again. The person in charge was very cooperative with my inquiry, and he immediately reported the information that had been reported to us, and the information that had not been reported to us. All the information from the side has been said.

"When did you start these weird things?" I finally made sure.

"About a month and a half ago." The person in charge of the mall showed a wry smile, "In fact, at the beginning, before the incident on the elevator side, there were occasional thefts in some clothing stores in the mall, but we checked the surveillance , There is nothing abnormal in the monitoring, and we are not sure whether the previous theft incident is of the same nature as the two incidents of the elevator and the railing."

A month and a half ago.

I asked again if there was anything that could be regarded as a sign that happened a month and a half ago. The person in charge of the mall shook his head after thinking about it.

"Nothing."

After I lost the information, I didn't continue to stay with the person in charge of the mall. After leaving the contact information, I turned to the clothing store that was said to have stolen something to inquire about the situation.

Those clothing stores are all on the first floor, and I passed a bookstore on the way to those clothing stores.

I casually raised my eyes and glanced at this out-of-place bookstore among various clothing stores on the first floor, and at a glance I saw a few posters pasted on the door of the bookstore.

[The well-known novelist Kuroshio Doom, after three years, another long horror novel, "Human World" will be released soon, so stay tuned. 】

Open screen lightning strike.

...How should I put it, the editor of Zhongxiang is quite fast, and the posters have already come out.

I only submitted the manuscript not long ago—about half a month ago, but after I submitted the manuscript, I specifically told Editor Zhongxiang to help him find a way to publish the book as soon as possible, and then I didn’t care much about it. Thinking of coming out today, I accidentally saw the publication promotion of "Human World".

In the two months before the submission of the manuscript, after I had written out the rough plot of the whole story, I started to rush to the manuscript. Except for the half-day class every two days, I stayed at the Crazy rush to draft in the dormitory.

Fortunately, I already have the numbers in my mind, and when I write, I write them down smoothly. When I write, I don’t need to think about the sentences, and I write them out naturally.

It even broke through my fastest drafting speed in the past. Readers will cry when they hear it, and editors in Zhongxiang will cry with joy.

It's not troublesome when it comes to the release of new books.

Because I have a contract with the publishing house, and the editor of Zhongxiang is the editor of the publishing house, so it is not difficult to make internal adjustments and shorten the time to go through the publishing process.

Editor Zhongxiang worked overtime to complete the proofreading within a week after receiving my manuscript.

Now it seems that it is already very fast, editor Zhongxiang will let the publicity of "Human World" take a step ahead, and release the news before it is published.

At any rate, it's one of the rare long-form horror novels I've seen in the past two years. It seems that the attention is not bad, and readers still buy it.

After confirming this, I glanced at the poster and stopped paying attention. I went to the stolen clothing store next door to have a look.

The managers of these clothing stores don’t have any useful information here. The time when the goods were stolen was at night. Many clothing stores turned off the monitoring in the store after they closed. The previous monitoring has also been covered long ago.

The surveillance of the clothing store that was stolen recently and the only one that was not covered was not covered, but when the store manager found the surveillance, the surveillance screen was very blurry, as if it was disturbed by some magnetic field.

After I visited the last store manager, I asked the location of Panda and Goujuan on my mobile phone, planning to meet them.

Although nothing was asked here.

But if the theft of clothes from the clothing store is really related to that curse, what would a curse do to steal so many clothes?

to wear?

In short, after so many clothes are stolen, there will always be a destination. For me who follow the normal line of reasoning, it is probably easier to find a pile of stolen clothes than to find an illusory curse that I don’t know where it can go.

This should be regarded as a breakthrough. I don't know how the panda and dog roll are doing.

"There are three places where the filth is left."

"First class."

"The danger is not low."

At the same time as seeing me, the panda opened his mouth with these three sentences.

Gou Juan added, "Mentaizi."

It probably means that everyone should be careful.

"Which three places?" I asked.

"We traced the filth to find them, two of them were the two places mentioned in the incident, near the elevator and the glass railing, and the other was..." Panda paused subtly, "It's an employee on the same floor. Ladies toilet in the passage."

...

Where did this strange Hanako come from?

My first reaction was this.

But the second reaction was - toilet...clothes?Could it be changing clothes in the toilet?Although this guess is a bit bizarre for the curse, it is not completely impossible according to reason.

After all, it's not uncommon for Aimi's curse spirit to be seen before, and Xiao Zhihua likes the new clothes made by Principal Ye Moth very much.

"Ah, let's go to the women's bathroom together." I said calmly.

"No problem!" The pandas of the three genders responded decisively.

Goujuan followed silently.

The so-called conjurer is someone who will not hesitate to walk in even if the curse is hidden in the women's toilet.

Just as I was thinking this way, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of some familiar figures flashing past.

The standard of this hat, as well as this height and hairstyle, are still rare in reality.

... Hanako?

Wait, is it Hanako?

How could he appear here alone?Or is it that Ning Ning is also nearby?

I suspected that my eyesight was wrong. After pausing for a while, I thought about it for a while and decided to send a message to Ningning.

[Ning Ning, are you in Yazhang Town now? 】

Ning Ning quickly replied to me:

[Literary Wisdom Girl Ning Ning: No, I am learning various things in advance with Senior Yi Bone. Sister Qingjiu, can you find me? 】

I asked her again if Hanako was with her.

Ning Ning gave me an affirmative answer.

[Literary Wisdom Girl Ning Ning: Hanako-kun is by my side. 】

For such an obvious matter, Ning Ning will not lie.

I'm a little skeptical of what I've just glimpsed briefly.

Could it be that I thought of Hanako when I heard the women's restroom, but because of inertial preconceived ideas or dizziness or something, I recognized a vague person I saw as Hanako?

Ah yes.

Thinking about it this way, I remember that there seemed to be a white seal on Hanako's left face, and the person who passed by just now seemed to be showing the left face, and there seemed to be nothing on it.

I let go.

On the other side, Ning Ning put down the phone in doubt.

As she said, although she will not come back to study conjuration after graduating from high school, she will become a conjurer.But before that, she will also be arranged to learn some things that conjurers should master on her rest day.

The second grader, Otoko Yuta, is the senior whom Mr. Gojo Satoru specially pointed out to her and took her and Hanako to study.

It just so happened that she was taking a short break after training, so she happened to be able to reply to the message immediately.

"What's wrong?" Hanako squatted in front of Ning Ning and raised a canned drink to touch her face.

"Hiss, it's so cold!" Ning Ning hid for a while, glanced at Hanako dissatisfiedly, took the can of drink and drank it, and then turned her gaze back to the screen of the mobile phone that received the message, "Sister Sake suddenly came to ask me Are you in Yasho Town, Hanako-kun, are you by my side, why do you suddenly ask like this?"

Hanako paused slightly.

"Suddenly asked such a question," the gentle and friendly senior Yi Gu said casually when he heard Ning Ning's words, "Did you see someone among 'you' somewhere?"
