[Danganronpa] Forcing CP

? Komaeda pressed the switch again, but the screen was still black.

He cursed secretly, got down to look for it, and it turned out that the plug had been pulled out.

After plugging it in, he crawled out again in disgrace, and this time the screen finally turned on.

Through the manual next to it, Komaeda roughly understood that this house should be connected to the outside power grid, with a text message warning mechanism and monitoring facilities.Komaeda originally wanted to violently destroy the power grid outside, but now it seems that it was not destroyed, otherwise a text message on the mobile phone would be sent automatically...

It didn't take long to boot up, and there was nothing on the desktop of the computer, except for a camera-like icon with the words "monitoring screen" written underneath it.

Having no choice at all, Komaeda simply opened the icon.

A window pops up.Similar to the monitoring screens Komaeda saw in other places, this window was cut into many small windows, large and small, and the other small windows had more or less light from which the layout of the room could be vaguely seen. There is a strange room with black and white bricks, a kitchen, and stairs, and Matsui can be seen shaking his legs boredly from a certain window.

"It's really surprising that there is no computer power-on password..." Komaeda was quite puzzled by this. He was a little suspicious that he had only entered an ordinary user control interface, and there was another administrator control interface.But this doubt quickly turned to another direction.

The structure of this monitoring interface is not a general nine-square grid structure, that is, each monitoring screen is of the same size, but one monitoring screen is particularly large, occupying two-thirds of the entire screen, and the rest of the monitoring screens are surrounded by stars and moons. next to it.

But the biggest surveillance screen is completely black.

Is the surveillance camera broken?Or does this all black have another meaning?If it is said that this is the largest position by default, then obviously this monitoring position is the most important, so how could the surveillance cameras in this place be allowed to be so broken.Or is it because the camera in this place is broken, so the kidnappers went out to buy replacement lenses?Hmm... black... dark... does that have anything to do with the phrase 'I could have endured the dark if I hadn't seen the sun'?

Komaeda couldn't help staring at the black square, lost in thought.

In the next second, the monitoring grid suddenly lit up, as if someone had suddenly turned on the light in that room.

And Komaeda caught off guard and met the "thing" in that room.

It was a pale human face, the dry skin was covered with criss-cross wrinkles like a dried walnut, tightly attached to the bones, the face that had completely lost moisture was sunken, only two One white-eyed Qiduo's eyeballs are protruding, facing the camera, or, in other words, facing——

People looking at this room through the lens!

Matsui, who was standing below with numb legs, clearly heard a panicked cry from upstairs. Before she could turn her head around, she had already run to the second floor involuntarily.

When she kicked the door open panting, she saw Komaeda looking at the computer screen with a terrified expression on her face.

To be able to shout so loudly without meeting the kidnappers...it's really useless to worry about him.Matsui looked at the computer screen angrily, and in the next second, she took a step back and also yelled "Aw".

"What, what is this... a real corpse or a puppet?"

Komaeda has regained his composure, and he leaned in front of the computer screen to observe carefully, and came to a conclusion: "It should be a corpse, a doll or even a wax figure, which can't make such fine skin textures, and this kind of close The effect of rotting... Well, in fact, the pixels of this camera are worth considering. Ordinary cameras can't see so many details at all... Could it be that a SLR is used as a camera, that's really impressive..." At this time, he didn't look like he was screaming in fright at all, but simply took the surveillance picture as a picture that could be analyzed.His face was almost close to that shriveled face, and the faint light from the computer screen was reflected on his face. This scene was simply a horror of another level.

Matsui hugged the pot to block his sight, and after covering for a while, he realized that he could get used to the terrifying image, and then he came up and stood behind Komaeda.

She plays a lot of games, and there are not a few horror games. She has played all the well-known horror games such as "Silent Hill", "Dead Soul", "Zero" and "Resident Evil", and she has played all over the world with the curtains drawn. Played in a dark environment.This kind of sudden release of a picture of a female ghost to scare people is already an old joke in horror games, and she thinks it is acceptable if this is regarded as a relatively realistic horror game.

—Accept a ghost!This is a dead body! !die!corpse! !Still such a disgusting corpse! !Calm down and have a look! !

After watching for a while, her spine felt a little cold again.The light is coming from below, which is very similar to the old-school horror movie method of putting the flashlight under the chin to create a scary atmosphere from the bottom up to scare people.This method formed a rather large shadow on the face, but the eyeballs were still big and protruding, and they were lit up like light bulbs, which looked quite scary.The whole shot seems to be shot at a low angle, so the horrible face occupies most of the frame.But the rest of the limbs were quite strangely invisible, as if they were buried in the wall.

"...Hey, Komaeda."

Komaeda tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes stared at her seriously: "What's wrong?"

Matsui's complexion was not very good. She twisted her fingers in extreme unease, and asked softly, "...Have you heard of that incident?"

"Which event?"

"...The high school girl's incarceration and murder occurred in the 90s and [-]s of the last century. Also known as the Ayase Cement Murder."

"……No."

"Don't, don't show that look, it's just because it happened in Ayase, Adachi-ku, Tokyo, not because the victim or perpetrator is called Ayase!"

"Well...I see."

"Very, very reluctant expression!?" Matsui covered his face and lamented, "I knew it would be like this... Anyway, when this kind of thing is discussed, everyone will look at me... Obviously it has nothing to do with me..."

Komaeda resisted the urge to laugh and said slowly: "What is Ayase trying to say by mentioning this?"

"...In that case, the body of the murdered female high school student was sealed in cement."

Komaeda pondered for a while: "Do you think... this corpse was buried in cement?"

"Yes, after that incident was exposed, there have been many imitation killings in the world and even the world... Many people choose to destroy the corpse and build the corpse into the wall until the corpse rots and rots and the wall is broken. Discovered one after another..."

Komaeda stared at the surveillance screen, and shook his head decisively: "Impossible, this is not sealed inside the wall. This angle of inclination is unnatural."

"Bending angle?"

"Yes. The person who placed the camera deliberately used a more misleading lens expression, which makes people mistakenly think it is a depression angle lens. Ayase also learned it in art class. Objects have vanishing points, and there is a uniform 'near size' The rule of "far and small", that is, the closer the object is to the lens, the larger the object is, and the farther the object is, the smaller the object is, especially a regular object like a cube. The three-point perspective taught by the teacher in class (Note: Japanese schools basically They all have relatively professional and long-lasting art classes, I think the basic three-point perspective should have been learned, let’s set it like this for now) Remember?”

Matsui, a low school student, looked bewildered.

In order to maintain the self-esteem of the scumbag, Komaeda silently skipped this topic: "So why do we think this is in a narrow space—for example, in the middle of the interlayer between the walls—because it is close and far away. A small optical illusion is deceiving, and the camera may not be shooting from a downward angle, but a head-on shot."

"...so how do you know if it was taken from a low angle?"

"Because of the inclination angle. If all objects follow the rule of 'nearly large, far small', then they should scale to the same degree on the same plane, but obviously the degree of shrinkage of the wall is abnormal. If this effect is to be achieved, unless The walls are sloping. And obviously, I haven't encountered that kind of wall in this house. So, obviously, unless the camera is in another house, or..."

Komaeda raised his head.

Matsui followed and saw the sloping ceiling.

"...You said she was sealed in the ceiling!?"

Komaeda nodded.He also finally understood what the anomaly he felt was that the room on the first floor full of black and white bricks was not a sloping ceiling but a fairly normal ceiling parallel to the ground.

[From the floor to the wall to the ceiling, all are black and white checkered bricks.The entire room is made up of densely packed black and white square bricks, and after looking at it for a long time, it feels like the line of sight begins to crooked and distorted.If the room is empty, the black and white bricks that fill the entire room even give people a sense of indistinguishable front and back. 】

Although the black and white bricks have the effect of interfering with the line of sight, it is by no means impossible for people to see whether the ceiling has a certain inclination angle.

Apparently, a triangular or pyramidal darkroom was built above this room.

Komaeda originally thought that the lines of "Heaven" and "Hell" painted on the wall and the two up and down arrows painted next to it were just for playing with the meme of "The Last Judgment", but he didn't expect that there was really something on it.

Looking at this skeleton covered with a layer of human skin, the corner of Komaeda's mouth twitched a bit: What kind of "paradise" is this?It's really worthy of "If I didn't see the sun, I could have endured the darkness", this sunshine came too violently!

Komaeda thought about it for a while, and determined that there was no way to go up to the dark hole with the word "Heaven" written on it, otherwise he would have discovered it long ago.In other words, this is a small secret room, similar to the tombs of ancient Chinese emperors. Is it that people are directly sealed inside and a camera is left?This seems to explain why the corpse was so well preserved. It is estimated that the person was not dead when it was sealed in. As a result, the person kept breathing inside and consumed oxygen, and finally died of lack of oxygen.In this dry and anoxic environment, it is not easy to breed bacteria, so it is more reasonable to get a relatively well-preserved mummy.And the sudden light may be caused by the fact that the switch was just pulled up, and the power was not connected for a while, and it was connected later.It may also be that when the light was placed, it was set to "turn on after X minutes" in a wicked way, just to scare people.It’s easy to explain why the surveillance screen was completely black just now. It’s not because the surveillance camera is broken, but if the entire room is sealed off and there’s no light at all, it’s impossible to see anything. thing.

Matsui on the side asked curiously: "Komaeda, do you have any information about art?"

Komaeda restrained those messy thoughts, and said gently: "Well, after all, art is the most recent 'beautiful' existence, so sometimes I pay attention to this aspect...but the knowledge I have so far is only at the most basic level place."

"Is it because you can see a lot of naked bodies openly!?"

"..." Komaeda almost couldn't breathe, and was choked up, "Why did you think of this!?"

Matsui said dryly: "Whether it's the oil paintings of the Renaissance period or the mural paintings of ancient Japan, many of them are not bare-chested. Isn't it beautiful to expose the body in that period, calling for closeness to nature...especially Draw those goddesses, what kind of goddess of nature, Venus, all of them are white and beautiful..."

Komaeda's eyes became weird: Ayase can't be...Although Ayase has flat chest, he really doesn't mind the problem of big breasts...

He decided to firmly state his position on this issue: "Well, Ayase..."

"A girl like me is so excited, I really want to touch it..." Matsui hugged the pot and laughed "hehehe", the laughter was extremely obscene, "According to this, I should also like art , I also like those white oil paintings... The girl's beautiful body is simply a gift from God, and of course everyone should appreciate this kind of thing together."

Komaeda: "..." Ayase, you collapsed, you collapsed! !Don't look at those paintings with such a wretched mentality, this is art!It's art! !Art that can only be seen from a distance and cannot be played with! !Ayase, why are you smiling obscenely like a big man who picks your feet! !This expression is so stupid! !I really want to pass you a roll of toilet paper, why is that! !

The smile on Matsui's face faded: "I'm going down, the kidnapper hasn't come back yet, so it's not good for me to stay up there all the time. Be careful yourself."

"……Oh."

As a result, he didn't have time to express his determination to "don't mind his girlfriend having poor breasts" until the end. ?
