conspiracy news agency

"Uh...you called me to the office at this time, is there anything special you need to do?"

After receiving a text message from my senior, I rushed from the self-study room to the club activity room in the cold wind, only to find that Senior Shan Shangchuan was there besides me and Tian Yu.

The club activities for this semester are over. Although the work of the news agency will not end because of the end of the teaching week, if there is nothing special, you don't need to be on duty in the club activity room. This is what the senior sister said.

Although, the work of the news agency does not need to be carried out in this club activity room at all...

"It should be you who has something to do?" The senior sister pushed a stack of thick paper materials from the table, "Don't you need these things?"

I took the document with some doubts, and flipped through it roughly. It was a collection of information on the location, time and animal characteristics of each victim animal.

"Senior, do you want me to investigate this matter?"

"No, I'm just providing you with the information. Whether you want to investigate is up to your personal wishes, and I won't force you~" The senior sister showed her trademark smile, "But the Luo Haofeng I know is not a Irresponsible people who can sleep peacefully after seeing human beings being victimized.”

Although it seems that you are indeed complimenting me, why don't I feel happy at all, Tian Yu-senpai.

"So far, it hasn't developed to the extent that any students have been injured, right?"

I turned the dossier in my hand to the last few pages. So far, there have been two "persons" who were victims, all of whom were residents of the surrounding residential area.

"Well, so far, right? Shan Shangchuan?"

The senior sister threw the question to Shan Shangchuan in an unclear manner, and I also cast my gaze on it.I don't know if it was because of the reflection of the indoor lights, but for a moment I seemed to see an unnatural light on Shan Shangchuan's glasses.

"Yes, at least that's what I've seen."

I suddenly remembered what Du Juan told me about the final exam, and it seemed that if it was Shan Shangchuan, he would probably be able to "see".

It is almost certain that Shan Shangchuan's so-called "seeing" is definitely not seeing in the general sense, but it really makes people care about what can be seen and what can't be seen.

"Since Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan can see these materials, can't Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan see who the murderer is?" I tentatively expressed my doubts.

Unexpectedly, Shan Shangchuan shook his head, and then explained: "I can't see what's going on outside the school, I can't see what no one else has seen."

In other words, can you see anything that is seen in this school?I always feel that it is a very incredible ability, and... there is too little privacy!Could it be that Shan Shangchuan can see clearly every time I take a bath in the public bathhouse of the school?

Although, I don't have anything to look at...

"Besides, the system is also protected by the privacy authority. All I can see is what everyone is willing to share. In other words, if the prisoner has an accomplice, it does not let me know the prisoner's identity. Appearance, unless the accomplice himself wants to expose the criminal's murder."

Originally, it turned out to be like this.

"However, it's because the school hasn't been affected yet, so you won't act in the name of the news agency?"

The senior sister nodded with a smile.

"This doesn't look like the senpai I know~"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted a little, no matter how I count the other party is my "boss" and she is also a person like my senior.

"No, I also have to. After all, the power of the news agency is not as arbitrary as you imagine. Although the news agency is not an administrative agency born from the "organization" like the student union. But at least it is a student club of C University , but also for the sake of the school’s reputation. And what’s happening now doesn’t harm the interests of the students, so there’s no need for the news agency to act, do you understand?”

"To be honest, I don't understand..."

If this is the case, isn't the news agency essentially an organization that protects the interests of the school?

"That's not the case. Do you still remember Shang Qianhua's incident?"

"How could I forget~"

"Then do you still remember the attitude of the news agency in the last incident?"

What was the attitude of the news agency in the last incident?That being said, it does seem that they share some aspects with the Student Council, such as covering up the truth of the car accident.

However, the essential difference from the student union is that the news agency finally allowed Shang Qianhua to survive.

"That's right, this is the difference between the interests of the students and the interests of the school. The student union born from the "organization" puts the interests of the "organization" and the school first. That is to say, even if the interests of the students are sacrificed, they must Keep the honor of the school and the "organization"." The senior sister opened the lid of the notebook on the table, "However, the news agency is a student association that puts students' interests first. What would be the effect if news of dogs being brutalized and ordinary people being attacked spread out?"

Rumor...?

Events that would not have endangered students end up causing real harm because of students' panic and private rumors.

"It doesn't have to be that serious. But at least it will scare ordinary students, right?"

"But, if this is the case... is it possible to let the prisoner get away with it?" I was sweating a little while clutching the file, "I can't just let the gaffe continue like this?"

"No." This time it was not the senior who spoke but Shan Shangchuan, "It's not that no one has acted."

"That's right~ No matter how you say it, it has already reached the level of hurting people. It is impossible for no one to act. The public security system outside the campus has already started an investigation, and has also contacted the relevant teacher organizations of the school. Although, the teacher organization It’s not worth looking forward to, but it’s official cooperation anyway, so right now there’s no room for student organizations to intervene.”

"Then... what are these materials?"

The senior sister showed an innocent smile, "But no matter what, Luo Haofeng is the type who will definitely do it once he knows it, isn't he? If I guessed right, Luo Haofeng was still hesitant when the victims were only small animals. , Now that the situation escalates to humans, they will definitely intervene, right? So I kindly prepared these materials for you~"

So, is it actually just prepared to watch me busy around?

"Thank you so much. Although it is true that I hesitated before because the final exam is approaching, it seems that I have no choice now."

Anyway, before Bai Anshun also said that he wanted to help, I secretly had my wishful thinking.

"Don't say that, after all, this is your own decision, Mr. Luo Haofeng~" Senior sister pretended to have nothing to do with her, "Besides this matter, you should have requests from me, right?"

"Uh...? Nope~"

I looked at the senior with a sly smile in surprise, feeling a little confused.

"How is your math review...?"

With just one sentence, I can almost see that my blood tank has been emptied. As expected of the strongest human being in the academy, I can actually master this level of single-target attack magic, and the chanting speed is still unavoidable. .

The huge spiritual pressure gave me a nearly fatal blow to my body and mind, and I fell to the ground unconsciously.Sure enough, no matter how derailed this world is, it is the cruel reality that can give people the greatest despair.

"Judging from this domineering state with the head bowed and flat body, the result is the same as Shan Shangchuan expected~"

Shan Shangchuan's expectation?I powerlessly turned my gaze to Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan from the floor, and caught a trace of Shan Shangchuan's guilt that seemed to be there.

"Is this your midterm exam result?"

Sister Tian Yu opened her mobile phone, and then found a picture and put it in front of me.

46

The ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything and my math midterm score.

"I can't go on like this. If I fail the course in the first semester, wouldn't it embarrass me, the president, if it gets out? After all, you are the only human member recruited by the news agency this year~"

I got up from the ground in shame, and then looked at the senior sister with a little expectation.

"So, how could it be possible to use Shan Shangchuan's ability to steal the test paper and let you easily pass the math test?"

"Ehhh?" Why wouldn't it happen, why should it shatter the last of my fantasies.

"The 'Water Control System' was not born for this kind of thing, and... you are too weak now, if you don't make a little progress, you will suffer a lot~"

Ah, is that the argument again?But whether it's sports or math, I don't want to try again at all.This feeling is like being crushed by a genius like a steamroller and then no longer believe that no amount of hard work will be reaped.

"In short, I will never let you let go. But, as long as you follow my instructions, I guarantee that you will pass the final math... No, you should be able to get 80, after all, it is based on your usual grades in other subjects Forget it, if the first-class scholarship is canceled because of too much mathematics, it will not be worth it.” The senior sister arranged my academic plan for me, but completely ignored the fact that my ability is not enough. Maybe reaching that score plus dealing with this incident is even more impossible.

"Is it really possible?" I sighed.

"Of course, are you doubting my teaching ability?" The senior sister tilted her head, "Although there is no such thing as one point of hard work and one point of gain, there is always a three point of hard work. So, think It is not impossible to cause miracles through continuous efforts. Doesn’t miracle, or magic, mean “incomprehensible, unspeakable”? In that case, as long as you can work hard to the extent that ordinary people cannot understand, then Is it a miracle?"

"However, I feel that I have worked hard now, especially in mathematics."

The senior sister glanced at the math book I had been carrying under my arm, and then thought about it.

"For yourself, you may have indeed reached the limit, but this is only the limit of ordinary people. It is about 80% away from causing a miracle~ But don't worry, leave it to me. When will you take the exam?"

"June 1th."

"Oh~ Freshman is indeed the last one to take the exam, but isn't it still early? You can deal with this matter with peace of mind, and then contact me on January 1rd, and I will take care of it I’m teaching you math.” The senior sister’s palm on my shoulder to encourage me, combined with that subtle smile, made me feel like a terminally ill patient who had just been sentenced to death by a doctor.

"I...I see."

Under the strong spiritual pressure, I can't refuse anything, and now I can only hope that I can self-study to meet the requirements of the senior sister before that date.

"Yeah, if that's the case, you'll be able to 'handle the case' with peace of mind~"

"That being said, I don't have a clue at all~ Even Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan didn't see the murderer, so the school's cameras didn't find anything, right?" I sat back on the chair, holding the The file of the victim.

"Don't give up so quickly, famous detective "Luo Haofeng"~" the senior opened the file on the table, then pointed to the first and last few pages and said, "I'll give you a little hint, you see Are these two cases over?"

I looked carefully, and on the first page was the first animal that was killed... or a cat, with its right ear cut off, its right hind limb broken, and it died of blood loss, hunger and cold.

As for the last page, it contains the description of the victim. It doesn't look like anything special, but...

"Where is this person injured?"

Because the file did not describe the injuries of the injured in detail, I couldn't help asking questions.The senior sister pointed to the picture of the injured person on the file, "If this place is fixed, then it proves that this person suffered a severe blow to his right ear. There is also a plaster cast on his right leg..."

Is it the same injury?However, this can only be regarded as a coincidence, right?

"The same goes for the second person~ Although the degree of injury is a degraded version of the second victim animal."

I turned to the second and penultimate page of the dossier. The victim was a dog. Its tail was cut off cruelly, one eye was burned off with lye, and its stomach was cut open with a sharp weapon. The cause of death was also blood loss.The victim also suffered obvious abdominal and eye injuries.

Enduring the stomachache caused by nausea, I calmed down and analyzed it. To be honest, I would never dare to read such a bloody and cruel file alone in the dormitory.Although as a boy, I am not impatient with such things, but deep down in my heart, I always feel that when faced with such a broken picture, I should try my best to escape instead of adapting.

"Sure enough, is it the same prisoner?" I looked away from the file, and then analyzed, "The previous crime on animals was an experimental behavior... But in fact, animals and humans are fundamentally different. It’s a criminal experiment to ensure the success of the violence, or some kind of psychological warm-up? Let yourself get used to the feeling of killing before gradually upgrading the target of the violence?”

Senior sister nodded in satisfaction, and then praised, "It's not bad, it's still a child to teach..."

Just when I was about to be complacent, the "but" that was not expected appeared.

"However, this speculation has a fatal weakness, which is here..."

The senior sister turned the dossier to the third-to-last page, which was the file page of the last animal victim. I took a look and found nothing special.

"Time, the last time this cat was killed was today, and the two victims were attacked the day before yesterday and yesterday."

That is to say, if animals are culled to warm up the crime, then the harm to animals should stop after attacking humans.

However, the evil didn't stop, it continued...

"Imitating a crime... But what is the meaning of imitating a crime like this? The behavior of the original criminal is not a special art, and this later imitator is obviously much lighter than the original criminal when it is violent against humans."

After all, all the animals got mortal wounds, and neither of the two humans currently victimized had injuries that even amounted to a disabling level.

"Who knows, after all, no matter which one it is, it's a pervert~" The senior sister hugged her chest tightly and made a delicate and pitiful movement, as if she was a helpless girl who was frightened.

However, if Senpai really meets the prisoner, I think I will definitely yell at the prisoner to run away.No matter how you say it, it is impossible for ordinary perverts to compare with senior sister's strength.

"That's true, but in this case, the prisoner will change from one to two. Isn't it more difficult to catch?"

"Then it's up to you~ The news agency can only provide you with so much help for the time being." The senior sister mercilessly closed the file and the notebook in front of her, and then turned her eyes to the man who was sneaking at Shan Shang. Chuan's me, "If you dare to get Dan Shangchuan's attention, I guarantee that you will not just fail in math this semester."

Really, no mercy at all.

"I also think it's better not to rely on the power of the "Water Control System" for this matter. Because that may cause unnecessary trouble."

Shan Shangchuan put the typed mobile phone in front of me, and I nodded to accept her opinion.Although my trust in Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan is not as high as before, compared to the arbitrary and groundless senior sister, the advice Shan Shangchuan gave me is often very valuable... For example, the first One piece of advice is not to join a news agency.

"However, if you need help for the final exam, you can contact me secretly." This was written on the mobile phone that Shan Shangchuan handed over again.

Seeing such words made me feel a little moved or throbbed. Sure enough, it was too disrespectful to speculate on Shan Shangchuan with that kind of thinking before.

"Hmm~"

Sister Tian Yu seemed to have noticed something strange, and stretched her head over to peek at the content of the text message.Shocked, Shan Shangchuan and I looked away from each other. This composition made the atmosphere between us even more embarrassing.

The most terrible thing is that I had a very wonderful illusion in an instant, and that illusion was only felt when I was tempted by senior sister Shang Qianhua's ability.
