There were about ten people gathered in the warehouse of the gymnasium, which was not too small.
Through the basic identity information on the heads of these people, Qin Zhibo could tell that they were all high school students, headed by the short-haired karate girl he had seen during the day - Tsukamoto Sumi.
I glanced around again and saw a familiar face. It was the boy who was drawing in the art classroom I met during the day. His name was Mononobe Masao.
Both of them?
After weighing the situation, Qin Zhibo decided to wait and see what happened and see what they were going to do.
...
In the warehouse, Tsukamoto Sumi stood among a group of people and said with some excitement: "Everyone's 'calling' has taken effect, and Hosaka-san's soul is already responding to us!"
Several people looked at each other, and one of the male classmates with a flashlight stood up and said: "Tsukamoto, although we know that you have always had a good impression of Hosaka, we also regard Hosaka-kun as a very good friend... But now we
I'm a senior in high school and I'm about to take the entrance exam, so I really can't spare much time..."
Another female classmate with a ponytail also nodded, "Yes, last time I sneaked out, my parents almost discovered me."
"If it doesn't work, forget it. This world is originally scientific, and if people die, everything will be over..."
"Hosaka-san's spirit in heaven will be very comforted if he knows what you have done for him."
Among the students, more and more voices echoed each other, seemingly unanimously agreeing that a certain behavior should be stopped and everyone's lives returned to normal.
Just when Tsukamoto Sumi was unable to control the situation and her eyes were getting more and more anxious, Mononobe Masao stood up.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at Mononobe Masao, only to see him walking in front of Tsukamoto Sumi, pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and taking a deep breath.
"Students, Tsukamoto did not lie. Hosaka's soul is indeed responding to us. The recent supernatural events in the school are proof."
A boy said with confusion on his face: "But aren't those supernatural events caused by ourselves?"
"Whether it's sprinkling water in the corridor or placing Hosaka's favorite books under the table in the library, aren't these all to remind other students of Hosaka?"
Faced with doubts, Mononobe Masato shook his head, "I'm not talking about those incidents, but the latest supernatural incident that happened after school this afternoon."
"The latest supernatural incident?" Everyone's eyes were confused and surprised.
"Yes." Monobe Masato nodded calmly, "When it rained today, Hosaka's desk..."
Next, Mononobe Masao told the story of the supernatural incident that happened in the afternoon, and the missing details were filled in by Tsukamoto Sumi next to him.
After everyone listened, the disbelief on their faces became even more intense.
"How... is this possible? Hosaka, he really..."
Tsukamoto Sumi nodded solemnly, "This incident really happened. Two second-grade students came to the library in the afternoon and told me personally. The recently famous Detective Qin Zhibo was also present."
"A matter that even a famous detective cannot solve, other than Hosaka-kun's response, is there any other possibility?"
Qin Zhibo: "..."
The others looked at each other and seemed to find it difficult to accept it for a while.
Only one student asked, "But what does the note Hosaka left - 'I haven't taken revenge yet' mean?"
The atmosphere in the air was silent for a few seconds before Mononobe Masato lowered his head and said slowly: "Maybe you are talking about me..."
"You?" Everyone was surprised.
Mononobe Masao frowned, as if he was recalling, "On the morning of Hosaka's accident, I was actually a student on duty at the school like him."
"Early that morning, someone brought two new plaster statues of characters to school. Hosaka and I happened to be members of the art group, so we planned to secretly move the plaster statues to the art classroom and give the teacher a surprise when he comes."
"At that time, he was probably anxious. Hosaka proposed to go through the corridor on the second floor and then go to the art classroom on the third floor. I was standing on the steps and looked back to see him talking. My foot slipped and I fell."
"At this time, Hosaka was afraid that I would fall, so he used his body to block the plaster statue from me. Although I was not injured, he..."
After hearing the truth about Hosaka's death, everyone was shocked, and some girls even opened their mouths in surprise.
Although Hideaki Hosaka was their classmate, the school and teachers did not disclose the specific cause of Hosaka's death to them. They only said that there was an accident on the school stairs.
But no one expected that there was such a reason behind it.
Just as Mononobe Masao was about to continue speaking, Tsukamoto Sumi, who had been bowing his head in silence next to him, suddenly grabbed him by the collar. The momentum of the karate club leader burst out instantly, with twisted resentment on his face.
"I asked you, why do you, a person from another class, care so much about Hosaka? It turns out that you are the murderer of Hosaka!"
"You've been lying to us for so long!"
Saying that, Tsukamoto Sumi raised her hand and was about to hit Mononobe in the face.
The karate club leader's full-force punch was no small feat. Fortunately, other students stepped forward to stop him and managed to pull the two away.
Just when Tsukamoto was showing off his beauty, Mononobe Masao suddenly knelt down and put his forehead to the ground, which was the classic Doge seat posture.
"As things stand now, I just want to do my best to help you fulfill your wishes!"
"I also want to see Hosaka again and apologize to him in person!"
Mononobe Masao's voice was deafening, and Tsukamoto Sumi looked at him in surprise, and her stalemate body gradually relaxed.
"I am not qualified to forgive you for Hosaka-kun. You can tell him yourself after you see him..."
"Thank you." Mononobe Masao said in a low voice.
Tsukamoto Sumi's voice was still cold, but her mood was at least a little calmer than when she was about to hit someone just now.
After experiencing this little episode, a group of students got down to business.
Several people brought the soft cushions used for sports testing from the side and sat in a neat row, all facing the wall at the back of the warehouse.
Mononobe Masato took out a painting and hung it on this wall.
Everyone pointed their flashlights at the paintings on the wall, and instantly the light in the entire warehouse was focused on the paintings.
Next, everyone stopped making any sound, and the old monk began to meditate with his eyes closed as if he had entered trance.
...
At the skylight, no one noticed a head quietly watching everything happening in the gymnasium warehouse.
Qin Zhibo looked at the paintings on the wall. Because the flashlight beam was too concentrated, the paintings were somewhat reflective.
After narrowing my eyebrows carefully for a long time, I finally saw that this was the avant-garde painting on the easel of Monobe Masao in the art classroom in the afternoon, a cloud of fog.
Looking at the ten students meditating, even the well-informed Qin Zhibo didn’t know what they were doing.
Just looking at the postures of meditating, everyone is very upright and focused, and they look like that.
It's just that I was meditating in a dark warehouse, with a flashlight placed next to each person. Dark shadows were reflected on the wall one by one, and people's heads were intertwined with each other. The scene was a bit strange.
Why does it feel like cultivating immortality?
Qin Zhibo didn't quite understand what they were doing, but from the conversation just now, he roughly guessed their motivation - the psychic Hosaka Hideaki.
There are often some topics about campus horror. For various reasons, high school students play some psychic games such as "Pen Fairy" and "Dish Fairy", and stories emerge from this.
It seems that these students have been in this state for a while. Because they are not sure whether what they are doing is effective, some students want to quit at first.
However, today's supernatural prank by Shigu Guochan seems to have given this organization, which was on the verge of collapse, a boost and rekindled some of its confidence.
If I had known earlier, I would have announced the prank...
In fact, when he told Tsukamoto Sumi about the supernatural incident on the playground today, Qin Zhibo noticed something was wrong.
The problem lies in Tsukamoto Sumi's attitude. When Ran mentioned the supernatural incident about Hideaki Hoita at first, she didn't believe it at all and was sure it was someone's prank.
But when Xiaolan told her about the latest supernatural incident, her attitude changed 180°.
Also, when asked about the books that Hideaki Hoita liked to read during his lifetime, she easily found the four unpopular books that only Hideaki Hoita had borrowed.
If you just have a normal relationship with classmates and never believe in supernatural events, it is impossible to remember this kind of information.
So before going to the health room, the prankster Qin Zhibo suspected most was Tsukamoto Sumi.
It now appears that those pranks were indeed created by Tsukamoto Sumi and other students for some purpose, and Seko Kunishige's pranks were beyond their expectations, and instead made them think that their "psychic" was at work.
Returning to the channeling ceremony, Qin Zhibo had never seen or heard of group meditation channeling.
If you want to channel Hideaki Hoban, you should at least have a portrait of Hosaka on it, right?
Moreover, the soul of Baoban Yingzhang who is channeled in this way is somewhat unconventional. He often wanders around the school and is unlikely to be able to answer their questions.
In what era are we still practicing these backward psychics?
Qin Zhibo looked at these young people, thought for a moment, and took out the psychic spell he had prepared from his arms.
Anyway, the purpose of my trip is to completely send away the ghost of Hideaki Hoita, so having these people is a good opportunity.
Standing on the trash can, he kneaded the secrets with one hand and meditated on Hideaki Hoita's deeds.
A student from Didan High School who died in an accident two years ago, a member of the art team, and the ghost he saw two days ago...
The best way to channel spirits is to know the appearance of the deceased, which has a higher success rate, but this is not a necessary condition. It is also okay to know the deeds of some specific people.
[The success rate of this channeling: 4.42%]
【Are you psychic?】
The system popped up a prompt. Seeing the ridiculously low success rate, Qin Zhibo squinted his eyes slightly in disgust.
My luck is not that high in the first place, so why do you do this to yourself?
Damn it!
With a full 4.42% chance of success, and a lucky number of 35%, even if you channel until dawn, you may not be able to succeed, right?
It seems that my level of psychic skills is still low, but the most important thing is that I don't know what Hideaki Hosaka looks like, and Hosaka did not die recently.
But I saw the ghost of Hideaki Hoita with my own eyes two days ago. This deed alone should be able to greatly increase the success rate of psychics, right?
Qin Zhibo is a little confused, but at least his channeling method is not very effective now.
Unless there are photos of Hideaki Baoban or the relics of Hideaki Baoban, the success rate can be greatly increased.
photo......!
Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of the reference room of Didan High School, where he went last time to find the home address of Minase Youmeng.
That place has information on all Didan students, and Baoban Yingzhang's should be no exception.
Jumping off the trash can, Qin Zhibo quickly came to the front of the teaching building and took out the lock picking tool.
Fortunately, I brought it here, and it comes in handy now.
Since it had been pried open once, this time I unlocked the door of the teaching building with three clicks, five divided by two, and then quickly went to the original reference room and pried open the door.
Although there is the skill "Library Use", which increases the speed of data search, this skill is only the initial level 1, and it still took some time to find Hideaki Hosaka's files.
In the admission file, there is a photo of Hosaka when he entered school. He is a rather cute-looking boy. Many girls should like this one.
Two years ago, I was a freshman in high school, so this entrance photo is almost exactly what Hosaka looked like when he died, which is very valuable for reference.
Qin Zhibo stared at the photo for a few seconds, silently noted the appearance in his mind, then closed the file and put it back in its original place.
...
By the time Qin Zhibo returned to the gymnasium warehouse, the meditation ceremony inside had ended.
A group of high school students rubbed their sore legs and relaxed for a while before standing up from the ground one by one and returning the stolen sports equipment to their original places.
"That's it for today. Remember to come on time tomorrow."
Tsukamoto Sumi warned, and the other students didn't say anything, stepped on the sports equipment, climbed over the skylight, and left one after another.
As the students left one by one, only Tsukamoto Mumi and Monobe Masao were left in the sports warehouse.
Mononobe Masato held the painting wrapped in cloth in his hand, and Tsukamoto Sumi looked at each other, still feeling a little afraid to look directly at each other.
Suddenly, Tsukamoto Sumi spoke first.
"You don't have to feel sorry for me, that's between you and Hosaka-kun..."
"From my personal perspective, I might also like to thank you for telling me this method."
Mononobe Masao raised his head and looked at Tsukamoto Sumi, holding the painting in his hand tightly, but still didn't say anything, turned around and climbed towards the skylight.
It was inconvenient for Masao Mianmonobe to carry the painting through the window, so Tsukamoto Sumi took the initiative to reach out and took the painting.
After he climbed over the skylight, Tsukamoto Sumi threw the painting into the hands of Mononobe Masao outside, quickly got out of the skylight, jumped up, and landed smoothly with a handsome posture.
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow..." Monobe Masao responded.
Tsukamoto Sumi didn't stop for long, turned around and left in the direction closer to home.
But at this moment, a tall figure suddenly stood out from behind the pillars of the school corridor, blocking her in front of her.
"who?!"
Tsukamoto Sumi subconsciously stepped back half a body, and her hands were already in karate fighting postures.
Because in front of her was a suspicious figure wearing black cloth and a veil on his face.
"I am a monk from the Jiutian Lingyin Society, and I am here to help you lost young people..."
Under the veil, a deep voice "blows" like this.
