I saw the countdown to their death

A few hooligans found him, they searched carefully, took away the mobile wallet and fled.

On the second floor, after a few minutes, Hojo Satoru ended the call without saying a word, and looked up at the last quarter moon in the sky, with a hint of vicissitudes and bitterness that only adults have in his eyes.The silvery moonlight shone on his fair face, and also covered his whole body with a layer of silver halo.

For more than ten years, he wanted to smoke a cigarette for the first time, but reached into his pocket a few times but found a candy.After tearing open the package, stuff it into your mouth, the refreshing sweetness permeates your mouth, but your eyes become more and more dull.

Probably on the second day after coming to Tokyo, Noriko Hojo began to have symptoms such as vomiting and difficulty breathing from time to time. At first, everyone didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was due to overwork, until she fainted in the vegetable field...

My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to her. Although she survived safely, it also caused her to be in poor health. Is this the cause of the illness?

"Uremia..."

In the previous life, my dad had lung cancer, and in this life, my mother had uremia... But uremia is different from terminal cancer. At least she can survive, the premise is money, as long as she has money.

Hojo Satoru lowered his head slowly, and the task page of the system appeared in front of his eyes.

"The fate of a girl, at 5 o'clock in the morning on May 27th, the task reward is 1 yen."

"Ten million bonuses, but you may die. If you accept the task, you will have two lives..."

Turn on the screen again, open Google to search keywords, and stare closely at the police reward announcement.

Chapter 9 Tsukimisato Furin

The next day.

In the continuous fugue, the morning class ended soon. After declining the team invitation of Tomino and Sakamoto to the cafeteria, Hojo Satoru sat alone on the stone bench in the atrium. After talking with his father on the phone, he gnawed silently. with bread.

The reason why they didn't say anything was that they hoped that their son would not delay his studies because of this incident.Noriko Hojo was hospitalized a month ago, and her condition has even improved, and she will even be discharged soon.

His physical condition is stable, but his living conditions are terrible. This month, he not only emptied all the family savings, but even borrowed some. In the future, there will be a steady stream of expenses for follow-up treatment.

Uremia is an early stage, and even then, dialysis is required once or twice a week until the body is completely stabilized.

A dialysis session is about 100 yen, about [-] yen a month, and about [-] million yen a year.Of course, you don't need to do it every week after you stabilize.

Although Japan has universal medical insurance, the annual medical insurance premiums are extremely expensive, and the average annual income in that small village is only about 100 million, and there is almost not much left after paying all kinds of insurance.And even if you have medical insurance, seeing a doctor is not free. The government reimburses 70%, and individuals still need to bear 30%.

At this time, Hojo Satoru got up and looked in the direction of the club building.

Uremia is no big deal. Although it cannot be cured for a lifetime, as long as you have money, it will not affect your normal life. As long as you have money, a kidney replacement is only such a big deal!

Isn't it just money?Although I was useless in my previous life, I was reborn once, and I have a system!If you are in a hurry, brush up your medical skills and treat my mother by yourself!

Thinking of this, Hojo Satoru put the last bite of bread in his hand into his mouth, and strode towards the super club building.

Tonight is midnight when the incident happened, and the 100 million stipend will not be sent home for the time being, so I will ask for leave in the afternoon to buy some necessities.

Well, first of all, let's understand the goal of this mission. If it is confirmed that a young lady is about to suffer, the situation will be much better, at least you can make arrangements in advance.

……

There are two activity classrooms in Qingshan Private High School, and the old school building is not an old-fashioned wooden structure that is common in Japanese comics. When this school was still a public school, two teaching buildings were specially reserved as activity classrooms.

The activities and clubs in this teaching building are all quiet, such as the art club, tea ceremony club, etc., while the louder music classrooms, chorus club, etc. are in another building.

Hojo realized that the office on the far right of the fourth floor looked strangely at the closed door.

The house number was also a torn-off draft paper, with the words 'Paranormal Phenomena Research Department' simply written on it.The notes are concise and smooth, and the text is clear and soft, which is very beautiful.

But no matter how beautiful the handwriting is, it can't hide the perfunctory and crude nature. She doesn't even want to spend an extra minute to get a capitalized and bold font!

Hojo Satoru rubbed his brows speechlessly, and knocked lightly on the closed door. The next second, a clear and pleasant voice came from the door.

"Hojo-san, please come in."

Hojo Satoru was taken aback, and gently opened the door.

The office is not very spacious. The cabinet full of documents was replaced by some books. There are two conference tables on the left and right sides. The table by the window is equipped with an alcohol lamp, a handmade coffee grinder, and coffee beans. clear glass jar, exquisite coffee cup set.

The table on the right is obviously a conference table, except for some folders and pen holders.

A slender and beautiful girl was sitting at the conference table. Seeing Hojo Satoru coming in, she closed the book on her lap, turned her head and nodded slightly towards the door.

Satoru Hojo was a little surprised when he saw the girl, how can I put it, this girl is indeed worthy of the nickname of princess, she is really too beautiful.

The skin is like fat and the skin is like snow, which can be broken and clean by blowing bombs. The eyebrows are thin and long, like willow leaves swaying in the wind in summer.Under the thick and pretty eyelashes, the eyes are clear and ethereal, and there is also a hint of inherent pride and aloofness.

Lips are like cherry red, soft and beautiful, like cherry blossom petals flying in the sky when school starts in spring.

She is wearing a summer school uniform. On a white shirt, a red bow tie is neatly tied on her chest. Her lower body is a light gray plaid pleated skirt. The skirt reaches her knees. Black tube socks wrap her slender legs, revealing a round and white knee. .

A ray of breeze blew from the window, making her black hair like ebony sway slightly, sitting upright in the wind like a fairy, she had the illusion of otherworldly fireworks.

This kind of beautiful moment made Satoru Hojo a little dazed, like a static animation CG, which was processed into a beautiful dynamic picture.

By the way, as for the chest... Forget it, skip it again.

Hojo Satoru looked at Tsukimiri's wind chime sweeping from head to toe, after a short pause, he used the observation technique.

"Name: Tsukimiri Wind Chime."

"Biological characteristics: human."

"Charm: 9"

"Intelligence: 9"

"Strength: 3"

"Agility: 5"

"Physical strength: 3"

"Spirit: 9"

"Keyword: No dating experience."

Hojo Satoru was a little puzzled, but it was no surprise that Charm was 9 points. As a high-quality human girl, her appearance must be top-notch.

An intelligence of 9 points is also quite impressive. It seems that the rumor of an IQ of 160 is not groundless, but what the hell is spirit?I observed Akasaki Erika's appearance yesterday and also has spiritual attributes, but it is very low.

Ordinary people have spiritual power, but you have spiritual power?

At this moment, seeing that Hojo Satoru was still in a daze, Yuejianli Fuling stretched out her hand to tie Yiyi's beautiful hair behind her ears, put the book on her lap on the table and smiled slightly, "Hojo-student, you have been staring at me since entering the door. It's been a full 15 seconds."

Hojo Satoru, who came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Yue Jianli is very beautiful, so I accidentally fell in love with it."

"Is it?"

Yue Jianli Fuling was not surprised that the other party called her name directly, but glanced at the chair opposite the conference table, and motioned to sit over, "Because of my appearance, do you have a good impression of me?"

It's not because of the appearance, but because of the awesome attributes, just like seeing other people's top-quality equipment while playing a game, so I was surprised for a few seconds.

Although he complained so much from the bottom of his heart, Hojo Satoru nodded and walked over, and said as a matter of course: "Most people subconsciously have a liking for beautiful things. I am a normal human being, and of course I cannot escape."

"Is this a simple compliment or a tactful apology?"

"Just a compliment."

"The reason is very reasonable, I accept your compliment." Yue Jianli Fengling nodded with a smile.

Hojo Satoru looked at the young lady in front of him in surprise. As expected, it was just like the rumors. Although the family assets were measured in trillions, she had an easy-going personality without much airs, and her temper was quite good.

Chapter 10 Princess Nature

"I won't gossip, classmate Yue Jianli..."

Hojo Satoru stopped joking, and went straight to the point: "I also want to know what your 'Supernatural Phenomena Research Department' does, and why you invited me by name. Please explain directly."

"Why is Hojo so sure that I only want to invite you?" Tsukimi Ri Fuling looked a little puzzled.

"Everyone is not stupid, I don't believe you will invite Tomino and Sakamoto."

Hojo Satoru replied truthfully: "When I knocked on the door, you called my name directly, and we haven't introduced ourselves yet, right? Also, although I didn't confirm it, I guess the promotional page on the bulletin board has probably already You tore it off."

Yes, it has been more than a month since school started, and there are very few students who still linger on the club bulletin board after school. I am not sure whether others will go to Yuejian. After talking in the office yesterday, Hojo Satoru will definitely browse.

When she knocked on the door, Yuejian said directly, "Hojo, please come in." It can be concluded that she directly excluded people other than Hojo Satoru from knocking on the door, so she should have torn up the promotional page yesterday.

This also shows that this young lady only wants to invite Hojo Satoru to join the club.

Another point is that when Hojo Satoru directly greeted her with "Yuejianli classmate", she did not show the slightest surprise. This shows that Yuejianli should have thought that when Hojo Satoru saw the leaflet, he would guess that it was her who sent it. invite.

After all, the content of this activity is the same as playing, and it really can't be approved without a certain level of strength.

"Qualified intelligence."

Yue Jianli Fuling nodded in satisfaction, bent down and took out a notebook from the schoolbag at her feet, opened it and wrote a few words casually.

"..."

Hojo Satoru was stunned, and ran past a cute little alpaca in his mind, and when he passed by, it spit at himself with a 'pop'... I just praised you for your good character, and immediately started to work. ?

"and then?"

"Do you want to add handsome looks?"

"Let's talk about your purpose directly." Hojo Satoru waved his hand angrily and said, "Student Yue Jianli wants to ask me for help, just say it. There is no need to join the club. I really can't help you with those contents."

Without waiting for the girl to answer, he immediately added: "I don't have any talent for magic, and I don't know how to rub fireball. I'm good at sleeping. If you have autism and need to improve, there is no need to throw a handkerchief to find a friend. I can directly send Tomino and Sakamoto will introduce you, they are a bit outdated, but they are still good people. If you want to find people from space, people from the future, and people with superpowers, please dispel this idea. They will only bring disasters to the earth. If you save the world, I will It is recommended to look for specific Japanese high school students, Chinese time travelers and American homeless people, these are the saviors."

Tsukimiri Fuling seemed amused by Hojo Gokō's words, her shoulders trembled a few times, and then she slowly stretched out a finger, "First of all, there are 309 million high school students in Japan, and the world doesn't need so many saviors."

Then, she popped out her second finger, "Secondly, Chinese timetravelers will not tell others that they are timetravelers. Thirdly, most homeless Americans are drug addicts who are about to die on the street. Finally, even if I suffer from autism, I will not I want to make friends with perverts and chuunibha patients."

The second monk Gojo Hojo couldn't figure it out, "Do you just think it's purely for fun? Or do you want a follower?"

Seeing the other party's increasingly impatient expression, Yue Jianli Fuling thought for a while and decided to speak out her purpose. She paused and smiled, "I don't know what Hojo-san thinks about 'Ghost'?"

???

"What do you think is the possibility of ghosts existing in the world?" Seeing that the other party was unmoved, the girl added.

"You mean, the soul after death?"

Tsukimi Ri Fuling nodded slightly, Hojo Satoru frowned slightly, his eyes were serious, he rubbed his chin and began to meditate.

One more thing should be added to her first impression. This girl seems to be a bit dark-bellied, although there is only a little bit, but it is there.This kind of people have one thing in common, that is, they like to watch others suffer, and then enjoy themselves secretly.

After entering the door, starting from the sentence 'you stared at me for 15 seconds', this girl may have started to play with herself, maybe when she wrote the teasing leaflet, she also had a faint smile on her face of pleasure.

But when the ghost was mentioned... Yue Jianli's expression didn't seem to be joking. She asked herself to come over because she wanted to seriously discuss the ghost issue?

Hojo Satoru raised his eyes and confirmed again: "Are you serious?"

"Hmmmm~"

Tsukimi raised her chin and hummed with unknown meaning. She had a playful and cute expression, paired with an elegant and haughty attitude. Generally speaking, she was a bit unworthy of a beating.

"A ghost."

Hojo Satoru began to meditate.

Whether this thing exists or not, for ordinary people, is probably the existence of "believe it, or don't believe it".

People who believe in it can use pseudoscience to make a lot of explanations.People who don't believe it can also use science to make a lot of explanations, such as radio waves, magnetic fields, hallucinations and other messy things.

So, that's where the name 'Paranormal Research Department' comes from?A series of nonsensical activities are just superficial illusions. The real activity of this department is to explore the truth of ghosts?

No wonder the activity time depends on the mood, while the activity range depends on the situation.

Hojo Satoru opened his mouth wanting to speak but stopped, and his eyes on the beautiful girl opposite became more and more strange...

Do you let others play psychic games with you in the middle of the night, or go directly to barren mountains and wild mountains to find ghosts?

If someone else asked this question, it could be used as a source of chatter, but the one who asked this question was a genius girl with an IQ of 160, and she invited herself to talk in detail so "officially".

Unexpectedly, Miss Yue Jianli, you are a pretty little girl, you have such a strange brain circuit, and there is a heart of death hidden under your calm and elegant appearance.

The long silence in the activity classroom continued, and the noise of the students in the small playground seemed a little harsh.

Yue Jianli Fuling got up, walked slowly to the automatic water dispenser in the corner, took out two disposable cups, poured two cups of water, and pushed one of them to the opposite side.
