Jiang Xia also looked at Hui Yuan Ai and nodded to her as a greeting.
Then he also looked towards the speakers.
"Professor Moriarty's" voice soon sounded and continued to announce the rules:
"Since it is a game, of course there must be rewards - if you successfully pass the level, I will grant you a wish that is in line with the laws of nature."
"A wish that conforms to the laws of nature?"
Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, and he remembered many situations in which the Anonymous controlled black organizations, and seemed to have the technology to make them bigger and smaller... Revealing these would definitely not exceed the scope of "natural laws"!
"That's right." "Professor Moriarty" suddenly smiled as if he had read through his mind, "Of course, rewards always come with risks - the old rule is, use your lives as a bet. If
If you fail in the game, then after the game ends, the person who is eliminated will die immediately."
"..."
Being hit by the overly heavy word "death", the atmosphere instantly became solemn. The two female high school students leaned against each other warily and fearfully.
Kudo Shinichi's heart sank when he thought of the terrible mortality rate in the last "Cocoon"...
He suddenly realized that this was actually an honest trap - if someone failed, the wish of the player who passed the level must be to "remove the death penalty for the player who was eliminated."
In other words, if any one of them is "out" in the game, then the game this time will be in vain. And if the team is destroyed...in reality, they will also be destroyed.
"The basic rules have been announced. For the rest, just go and experience the game yourself." A clear voice came from the speaker, and Professor Moriarty clapped his hands and said warmly:
"Then, the game begins."
…
As this sentence ended, several people's eyes blurred at the same time, and they fell from this ancient office to another space.
The same goes for Jiangxia.
Although he knew the general rules of the game, he deliberately avoided the details when checking the information.
——It's not to concentrate on experiencing the game. But as a fake player, if he knows too much, then when he pretends to be a "player" next to the two detectives, he will inevitably have to think twice before doing anything, otherwise it will be easy.
Unintentionally exposed... Rather than spending so much thought, it would be better not to read the spoilers from the beginning.
Once the game starts, there is no need for "Professor Moriarty" to announce the rules.
Jiang Xia played a guest role as a player attentively.
…
After leaving the office, the view changes.
He appeared in a quiet spring campus.
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, occasionally blown down by the wind and floating on the low fence. It was school time, and students were walking together in twos and threes, with the skirts of their sailor uniforms swinging close to their knees.
Jiang Xia watched this scene quietly. Soon, the girls' thin discussion floated over in the wind:
"Why can't you enter that biology classroom? When I was passing by outside, I peeked inside. The classroom was not damaged. Everything was in good condition. It was even cleaner than the one we are using now."
"It's just relatively 'clean' in a physical sense. In fact, every night, there will be hanging figures there."
"The...hanging figure?!"
"Yeah. I heard that ten years ago, that classroom was still in normal use. A careless senior forgot something in it. After school, he ran back to get it. When he got the thing, he turned around and found a pair of feet hanging behind him——
A female student was hanged from the rafters.
"The senior was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, but tripped over a stool. When he got up again, there was nothing above his head. The hanged man disappeared as quietly as he appeared."
"This, how is this possible..." The girl touched the goosebumps on her arms and smiled reluctantly, "He must be too nervous and must have made a mistake."
"More than once. Many people have seen it. So in the end, the door was sealed and locked - the 'unopenable biology classroom'. This is one of the seven mysteries that haunt our high school!
"
"Seven incredible things?"
"That's right. The first one is the biology classroom that cannot be opened. The second one is the printing room with bloody handprints all over the floor. The third one is the blood-sucking well. The fourth one is the disappearing thirteenth step. The fifth one is
, Statue of the Goddess with a Human Face, Part 6, Music Classroom Playing the Piano in the Middle of the Night.”
"..."
Silence spreads.
After a few seconds, another girl couldn't help but whisper: "Then... where is the seventh item?"
"I don't know. I've only heard one rumor——
"The person who solves the seventh mystery will be killed by the magician after school."
…
The crisp words fell to the ground, as if a pot of boiling water was suddenly poured into the space.
Not long after Jiang Xia settled down, his vision fluctuated again.
When he finally calmed down, he blinked and found that he was stepping on an old wooden corridor and standing at the door of a classroom.
…It’s not the “biology classroom that can’t be opened”.
It was a place with "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society" written on the door.
"..."
Mobility has been restored.
Jiang Xia walked to the door, glanced into the room, and saw five other acquaintances who had also arrived.
All six people had the same experience and heard the information revealed by the female students just now.
As for their various pajamas, they were all replaced by school uniforms of the same style, just like the students seen in the CG.
"Jiang Xia." The girl standing in the middle turned back, her fresh and straight black hair hanging down to her waist, her long hair swaying as her body turned. She smiled and waved to the door, "Come in quickly, I'm just missing you.
"
As she spoke, a translucent dialog box suddenly popped up above her head.
Hattori Heiji, who was closest to her, was startled and swooped to the side, looking wary.
As soon as he moved like this, the people who were looking out the window and were distracted all came back to their senses, looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise, and then looked up at the top of the girl's head.
I saw it written there:
[Grade 3, Class E, Sakura Ruriko
President of the Mysterious Phenomena Research Association]
"..." Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "It turns out to be an NPC."
He glanced at the place indicated by Sakura Ruriko and walked back to the table as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Xia also walked into the room and stood at the table with others, forming a circle.
…
This classroom is obviously the activity room of the "Mysterious Phenomena Research Society".
It is smaller than an ordinary classroom and does not have that many tables and chairs. There is only a large table in the middle. In addition, there is a calendar hanging by the window and a very old computer in the corner. There is a reasoning paper on the wall.
Related posters - Compared with "research on mysterious phenomena", this place is actually more like a "high school student detective agency".
