"How is the situation?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
Alice smiled and said, "The situation is good, Wang Haiyang's classmates are quite cooperative with us."
Although the main goal of those senior high school students is to enter college, they still have a physical education class and an art class every week to relax their body and mind. As for why there are no music classes, it is because they can listen to music by themselves during self-study classes.
After Sirius introduced Alice's identity to the students, he placed Alice next to a boy, because this boy was Wang Haiyang's deskmate and friend. He could be said to be inseparable from Wang Haiyang at school. If Wang Haiyang
If Haiyang wanted to skip school, he would ask this boy to cover for him.
But this boy was still young after all, and he didn't know that there was a saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying, so Alice deceived the boy without saying a few words, and even asked how many people in his family there were.
.
As a result, Alice quickly mixed the questions she had prepared into the seemingly casual conversation, while the boy told everything he knew, and showed no mercy at all when selling Wang Haiyang.
Alice's first question was "Where did your deskmate Wang Haiyang go?"
Under normal circumstances, when a boy asks a beautiful girl about another boy face to face, he will most likely choose to belittle the other boy in order to improve his position in the eyes of the girl.
Therefore, the boy forgot that he had to cover for Wang Haiyang, and said directly and bluntly: "Oh, you said that guy Wang Haiyang, he just said that he had something at home, so he skipped school during the last self-study class
"Although our class is said to be a key sprint class, there are still many people who are just fooling around. There are not many people like me who study seriously."
Wang Haiyang said he had never seen such a shameless person.
Then Alice asked a few more basic questions about Wang Haiyang, and the boy still answered without hesitation, with a 100% accuracy rate. This made Alice feel more at ease with this boy, so Alice decided to get to the point - Wang
Does Haiyang often skip classes during this period? If he skips classes, where does he like to go?
After thinking for a moment, the boy reported Wang Haiyang's skipping schedule for the past few days one by one. What is worth noting is that yesterday, after Wang Haiyang finished his first self-study class, he suddenly
He is missing. You must know that every time Wang Haiyang skipped class, he would notify him and ask him to cover for him when the teacher came to check the class, such as going to the toilet or something.
Here, the boy also told Alice a campus legend that has existed since the founding of Moriocho Middle School... It has to be said that the word "campus" in the campus legend does not refer to a certain school alone, because
Some school legends can be said to be common to all schools around the world.
For example, there are basically two categories of campus legends about toilets. One is "Some students died in the toilet for various reasons in the past, so their souls linger in the toilet", and the other is "After you
When I went to the toilet, I suddenly saw a pair of feet/hands"... There are also some more funny situations, that is, when someone goes to the toilet and finds that there is not enough paper, "someone" suddenly hands you a piece of paper.
The toilet legend of Moriomachi Middle School is an enhanced version of the latter. That is, if someone uses the innermost cubicle of the men's toilet on the third floor, there is a chance that someone will suddenly ask you whether you want white paper or red paper. If
If you don't make a choice, then you will stay in the toilet forever. If you choose to ask for a certain kind of paper, then there will be a withered and terrible hand holding a certain kind of paper and handing it to you from under the toilet door.
Three days later, if you choose white paper, you will be hung from the beam with three feet of white silk. If you choose red paper, you will have a bloody red "vest".
Of course, if you choose to have them all, then you can enjoy double the "happiness".
Because of this campus legend, no one, except Wang Haiyang, dared to go to the men's room on the third floor of Morio High School for a long time.
Therefore, Wang Haiyang's excuse for skipping school every time was to go to the toilet, and it was difficult for the teachers to go to the scene to verify whether Wang Haiyang was there.
"Oh, I remember there was such a campus legend in elementary school. When I first heard about it, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go to the toilet alone in school for several days." Liu Xing said with a smile.
Alice shrugged and said: "Schools in England also have similar campus legends. My master likes to let us apprentices verify these campus legends or urban legends, and we have to write a report after each verification.
.”
At this time, Sirius suddenly raised a hand and said with a smile: "Uh-huh, actually our ancient clan has had a similar situation. For example, when I went to study at Watt College, the chief academy of our ancient clan.
, I heard the senior seniors say that there is a secret basement in the laboratory building of our college. Only teachers with the title of senior professor can enter this basement. It is used to conduct various terrible research, and those who do not
Students who abide by the rules may become research materials. In fact, such a situation did happen. There was a radical professor who embarked on a path of no return in order to quickly evolve our ancient family."
"As a result, many campus legends have emerged about this laboratory. For example, a student in a certain dormitory disappeared mysteriously because he violated the rules. Soon after, his classmates discovered that a newly emerged synthetic beast possessed certain characteristics of the Ancient Ones.
, and this synthetic beast will be very excited when seeing them; or a student suddenly disappears somewhere, and only some of its belongings and strange things are found in the place where it disappeared, such as fish scales, land
There is mud and so on, to put it simply, there are deep divers or ghouls sneaking into our city undercover."
"However, during the period when the Shoggoths rebelled, the protagonists in various urban legends and campus legends became Shoggoths. For example, an ancient man suddenly discovered some strange traces in his home when he got up in the middle of the night.
After some detailed preparations, the ancient man saw a huge Shoggoth looking at him when he returned to the bedroom; of course, just like in the American Lighthouse Country, pythons often enter the room through the toilet, and so on.
Or maybe there were crocodiles in the sewers, as Shoggoths also became frequent visitors to toilets and sewers during that period."
Listening to Sirius's complaints, Liu Xing said curiously: "Oh? Sirius, you actually want to study too?"
"Liu Xing, your focus is very strange." Sirius said with a smile: "We, the Ancient Ones, are not born knowing, and not every adult Ancient One knows everything, so
We, the ancients, also have to go to school, and we will allocate schools to each ancient according to their qualifications. For example, Aris Academy, the lowest level, is equivalent to your human junior college, cultivating some professional talents. As for the lowest level,
The high-end Watt College is the top comprehensive university of the Ancient Ones, focusing on cultivating researchers and senior military officers."
"Oh~"
Liu Xing and the three of them looked at Sirius in a long tone.
Sirius understood that Liu Xing and the others were trying to blame themselves, so he sighed and said: "You people really don't believe that I graduated from Watt College... Okay, I admit that I am indeed not a student of Watt College.
, because Watt Academy is located on the home planet of our ancient clan, and the academies here on the earth are all junior colleges. After all, whether we want to transform the earth at the beginning, or later go to war with other mythical creatures, we need to cultivate more
They are professionals rather than researchers, so researchers on Earth are basically sent from their home planet.”
Sun Huiwen nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I heard that your ancient clan can actually perform photosynthesis, so do you also know how to use the toilet?"
"That's your human's stereotyped understanding of our ancient clan. Although our ancient clan's body looks very much like a plant, we, the ancient clan, are not vegetarians. If we can, we will still eat all kinds of food at that time.
Meat and plants, so of course we have to go to the toilet, after all, these foods cannot be 100% digested."
Sirius touched his chin and continued to add: "I have actually heard of some of your humans' views on our Ancients. I have to state it here, that is, the social structure of our Ancients is actually different from yours.
Human beings are not much different. Except for the primitive-looking buildings of some outposts, those big cities under the sea are all very sci-fi."
As soon as Sirius finished speaking, the school bell rang again, so Sirius had no choice but to go to class.
After Sirius left, Alice continued to tell the information she got from the boy.
"Except for yesterday, Wang Haiyang skipped school many times in the past two days, so we can roughly confirm that Wang Haiyang had sufficient time to commit crimes at the three key points of the fire burning the woods, Wang Bao being killed, and the restaurant fire;
In addition, the boy also mentioned that Wang Haiyang's hand was injured, and Wang Haiyang said that the injury was caused by accidentally hanging on when climbing over the wall." Alice said seriously: "The most important thing is that Wang Haiyang is
I bandaged it casually with gauze and refused the offer to go to the school doctor for treatment."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a frown: "In this way, we can basically be sure that Wang Haiyang is one of the culprits of these recent things, but we still have to find a way to determine why he did this. After all, Wang Haiyang is one of the culprits of these recent things.
Haiyang grew up in Morou Town...unless he is really the backup plan that Tenal prepared for him early in the morning."
"Then let's continue the investigation first, but I think we can also go to Mai Yuqiang and the others to confront Wang Haiyang. I believe that Mai Yuqiang and the others will be on our side after learning the news." Alice said.
said.
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let's take some time to have a chat with Mai Yuqiang or Dior later. But then again, we were on the computer during the last class
I found some surveillance videos at the door. These surveillance videos were obviously intercepted and left behind by someone. Now Sun Huiwen and I have watched two surveillance videos. In one of the surveillance videos, a human-shaped black shadow flashed past, and in the other surveillance video,
One surveillance video is quite strange, and what’s worth mentioning is a black cat that walks awkwardly.”
As Liu Xing spoke, he turned on his computer and played the suspicious clips from the two surveillance videos.
After watching the surveillance video, Alice touched her chin and said: "There is indeed a problem with the black shadow in the first surveillance video, but there is no problem in a place like Morio Town, because Morio Town can do this
There are really too many people. As for the second surveillance video, my opinion is almost the same as yours, that is, this surveillance video should just be a cover video, and there is nothing wrong with its content, but we still
You have to watch the rest of the surveillance videos first."
"But we want to spend at least dozens of hours watching the rest of the video to ensure that we don't miss any suspicious places. And if we want to completely ensure that we don't miss any suspicious places, then we have to start over again.
Watch it again...and this is all based on fast-forward viewing. If some suspicious things only appear in a few frames, then we may have to spend a month or two of time and energy on it.
It's up here." Sun Huiwen said with a headache.
This is indeed a troublesome matter.
However, Alice smiled and said: "Don't worry, my master once had a Yisi friend who once studied a video processing software with built-in AI, which can filter out scenes in the video that may involve mythical creatures or supernatural phenomena.
Even if this picture is only one frame, it should only take about a day to complete the first screening of these surveillance videos."
Before Liu Xing could speak, Alice continued: "I have already sent a message to my master. He should reply to us in the evening. After all, he is an old man and should still be sleeping now."
After solving the video problem, Liu Xing and the others did not plan to watch the surveillance videos while Sirius was in class, because Liu Xing and the others knew that only after watching all the surveillance videos could they know why these surveillance videos were
Save and hide it. Now you can't tell the reason just by looking at one or two of the surveillance videos.
So Liu Xing and the other two started chatting about a very interesting question - how many friends does Alice's master have?
