[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

She couldn't see her face, but there was nothing else she could do.The figure didn't answer, but just stood there quietly.

I walked towards the shadow slowly, and when I got closer, I realized that it was indeed a real person.He was standing in front of the dean's seat.

I stood across the table from the real person.The real person looked like he was enduring something, his shoulders were still shaking, he looked like an abandoned puppy.

"Renren, I am very worried about you." I touched the real person's head, the real person bit his lip and lowered his head, holding something in his hand.

"The teacher came to steal things like you. Last time, that brother said that if you want to lift your curse, you must get this."

The real person raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, the child must have been crying behind his back.

"Hey, Makoto, follow what you said earlier."

The real person clenched his small fists and just moved his eyes to me, but didn't answer.

"The teacher promised you that he will help you lift the curse." I smiled.

"Really?" the real person asked in a low voice.

"Well, really! How about we pull the hook?" I stretched out the little finger of my right hand, the real person nodded, and hooked mine with his little finger.

At this moment, all the lights in the teacher's room were turned on suddenly, and his eyes were all white when he was dazzled.Who's coming?I blinked a few times and looked towards the door.

"Why are you so in the way?" Konno, the dean of teaching, was standing there, looking at us with straight eyes.

"Why spoil my good work?!" Konno growled again, walking from the aisle between the tables, approaching step by step.Right now, it doesn't seem like a situation that can be resolved by talking.

"I can't teach you a good lesson!" Konno said and raised his right hand--there was actually a hammer in his hand!I took Zhenren's hand and looked at Konno for a few seconds. While he was in a daze, Zhenren seemed to sense my thoughts and jumped across the table.

"Let's run!" Before I finished speaking, I pulled the real person and ran out of the corridor from another door.Looking back, Konno was chasing after him.Yakumo will be here soon and cannot be caught until then.

After running all the way to the first floor, I rushed directly into the health room closest to them, closed the door and locked it from the inside.This is not a long-term solution. I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't think of a solution.

My heart almost stopped, as if I had never run like this before.I let the real person sit on the bed, and the real person also shook his shoulders and panted heavily.

"Is it okay?" I asked quietly.The real person nodded, in the palm of his hand was a fake SD card that I found casually.

[Katang! ] There was a sound, and the door of the health room shook violently.Have you been found?I held my breath holding the real person.

After a while of silence, the sound of "giggle" footsteps gradually faded away.Just as I was taking out my phone from my pocket--[Katang! 】--The voice rang again!

Through the frosted glass, I could see a figure outside. Sure enough, I was discovered. I dragged the real person and hid under the bed.

With a click, the lock was unlocked, and the door was also opened.

Looking at the feet slowly walking into the room, the fear and tension made the heart almost jump out.Those feet stopped right in front of the bed, and the man reached out and grabbed the edge of the bed, and with a straight jerk, the real person and I were completely exposed to Konno's eyes.

"It's unforgivable to ruin my good deeds!"

I hugged the real person and rolled, and Konno raised the hammer.

Then the praying mantis catching cicadas met the oriole behind him.

Imano fell forward.Seeing the scene in front of him, the real person trembled slightly.

The man's right half of his face was burnt by fire, and the left hand was missing the whole part from the wrist to the palm...

The man kept staring at me and the real person smiling, it was a creepy sneer.There's no emotion, no humanity in this man, nothing at all - I have a feeling that's why he looks so scary.

I lowered my head and said to the real person: "The real person, where are the things?"

The real person gave me the fake SD card, and I threw the SD card behind the man.

The man hurriedly turned around to pick up the SD card. At this moment, I jumped out of the window of the health room with the real person in my arms and escaped.

"Really," I said in a low voice while running, "remember our appointment..."

Finale【Part [-]】

Yakumo drove straight to the third floor and rushed into the library.

Between the rows of bookshelves, no human figure was found.

"Haruka, where are you?" Yakumo yelled, but there was no answer. He listened carefully, and heard a faint sob under his throat.

Yakumo followed the sound and went all the way to the innermost row of bookshelves, only to find the real person sitting on the ground with his knees hugged behind the bookshelves.

"Hey, kid, I'm here to lift your curse as promised."

Hearing Yakumo's voice, Masato raised his head with tears in his eyes while weeping, and looked at a loss like a baby who can only cry.Seeing him like this, Yakumo already felt: This child is really carrying an extraordinary shadow.

"Liar! Liar! The curse can't be lifted! Everyone is dead! I killed it! Whether it's Dad or Mr. Komai, I killed them all!"

Shouting out loud, Masato beat Yakumo's chest with both hands, Yakumo didn't dodge anything, but hugged him.

Just like what that guy said, the shadow that this boy is carrying is very similar to me, but the real similarity should not be me, but that guy.The child is bound by the curse of "I killed my father", and the curse of "I killed someone" is bound to that guy.Therefore, she couldn't ignore the child.Unconsciously, the shadow in the child's heart overlapped with the shadow he once carried.

"Okay, you heard me, you didn't kill anyone." Yakumo said holding the real person.The moment he heard this sentence, Masato stopped his movements, and then slowly raised his head to look at Yakumo, as if unable to understand what Yakumo said.

"Really, what you gave dad was sleeping pills, you didn't even think about killing dad, did you?"

"I……"

Yakumo looked at him silently and nodded.

"Real people don't kill people."

Mr. Hatake's compositional analysis is very clear, the medicine the child took was just sleeping pills.However, Atsushi Ushishima used the drug to make Zhenren think he killed his father.

Children of this age don't know the real meaning, they just simply think that it would be fine if their father wasn't there, that's all, but they are taken advantage of by others.

Moreover, the prisoner will think that if the child gets in the way, he can kill it, just like killing his own father.At that time, what kind of person is he planning to become?Thinking of this, Yakumo's heart ignited with anger.He reached out and wiped away the real man's tears.This child is really strong, that small body is enduring the pain that is enough to break people, and he has been enduring it alone.

Although I have endured a lot of suffering, I have my heart and that person by my side.But, the kid was alone... no, no, there was that guy!Although she is nosy, even if she is the only one, she may become his pillar.Just like that guy back then...

"Where did that guy go?"

"The teacher told me to stay here...then I went out...the teacher did it for me..." Masato cried again because of Yakumo's problem.

"Don't cry anymore, that guy decided to do it himself." Yakumo said while stroking Masato's head.

That idiot!Obviously, it would be nice to stay a little longer, are you going to be a bait?There is a high possibility that he will catch her first because he thinks that guy is in the way.Now what?

If you don't have time to find it slowly, try to lure the snake out of the hole.

"I told you before that I was cursed just like you."

Saying so, Yakumo took off the contact lens on his left eye, and looked at Masato with his red left eye.

Masato's eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't feel scared. Instead, he looked closely at Yakumo with envious eyes.

"The curse is aimed at the heart of a person."

"Inner heart?" Masato repeated Yakumo's words.

"That's right, it's the heart. It doesn't matter whether the curse is lifted or not, the most important thing is your heart. Do you know?"

The real person didn't answer, just nodded.Well, what a tough kid!

"I knew you would come." The man with red eyes smiled at me.

I nodded, "You should also know that there will be such a day."

I'm still at the Sasaki Clinic, and Nanase Miyuki is lying beside Ishii without knowing anything.

We finally met.

"I don't understand." The man said to me, "How on earth did you find out that she is Nanase Miyuki."

"..." I laughed, "Is there something you don't know? But this is my secret, I can't tell you, don't you wonder how I found you in this matter?"

"About this," the man laughed, "I'm sorry, I'm not very curious either."

"Then we can get straight to the point?" I wasn't too entangled, with a usual smile on my lips. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

"Do you want to repeat the same failure?" The man shrugged, "I could destroy you in the previous life, and I can do the same in this life."

"No." I laughed, "Do you know what the only difference between the previous life and the present life is?"

"What?" the man asked with a restrained smile.

"...Of course it is," I laughed slowly, "Didn't you notice? I, like you, is already dead."

The man's expression finally changed.

Both Konno and I were tied up and placed on the floor of the infirmary.
