Cherish the time

"Calm down." Shinto pressed Fujisaki's shoulder, "It's just that someone is carrying a lantern."

The dim yellow light ball floated forward unsteadily, walked through the not-so-long corridor, and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Those were three people in white hunting uniforms. The two next to them each bowed and carried a dim yellow lantern. They couldn't see their faces clearly. The man in the middle had half a pitch-black mask on his face, and the other half of his face was painted. It has turned into a pale color, and the combination makes people feel a sense of oozing panic.

"There is a ghost! Sato hugged his head violently again, and knelt with his head facing the direction of Shinto, while his buttocks faced the direction of the three people over there.

"It's not a ghost..." Looking at his trembling appearance, Shinto somehow felt the urge to give him a kick, "Didn't you hear the sound of cloth wiping the floor, that means they are alive human proof. 』

"You...important people..." the leader of the three spoke, with a trembling chill in his voice, "taken away by..."

"If you want...to get it back..." The chilling voice stopped, and the hearts of the people in the activity room seemed to have been pulled up to the throat.

The person standing in the middle raised his right hand, and slowly, slowly, pointed to the position directly in front of him.

Everyone looked back in unison—under the faint light of the two lanterns, they saw traces of painting on the sliding door on the other side of the activity room!

"The time limit is... three and ten minutes." After the man finished speaking, the men in white clothes on the left and right put the small lantern on the ground, and the strange gestures of the three of them when they came together slowly left the stage.

Immediately, two courageous men stepped forward and picked up the lantern, and said loudly, "There are fluorescent sticks inside the lantern! It also says 'one per person'!"

The tense atmosphere in the audience disappeared in an instant. Those who were scared before breathed a sigh of relief, and then Qiqi began to complain.

Amidst the commotion, Shinto said to Sakai, "Look, it really is a lie. 』

Fujiwara Sawei stood up embarrassingly, "Cough, I'm just... a little nervous." 』

"Who said it wasn't. 』Shinto shrugged, turned to Kazuya and said, "Go and get our share of fluorescent sticks."

"It's already been brought." Shigeru Kurosawa said calmly, and with a soft "crack", a faint green fluorescent light lit up on his hand.

"Just use one first." Shinto took the fluorescent stick from his hand, folded it a few more times, and now the light from the fluorescent stick is brighter.

At the same time, more people broke the light sticks, and the whole activity room became much brighter.

Shinto and the others were located in the central area of ​​the activity room, neither near the side where the three of them appeared, nor the side where the picture appeared.

So Shinto tried to take a photo with a fluorescent stick, but he still couldn't quite see what was drawn on the paper door.

"It's a chess record." Ogata Seiji's voice suddenly rang in Shinto's ear.

Shinto flinched to the side as if scalded by something.

"Mr. Ogata, it's scary to appear out of nowhere like this!" He said a little angrily—most of this emotion came from the fact that he was still laughing at Zuo Wei's embarrassment just now, but Zuo Wei saw the joke immediately.

"Sorry." Ogata pulled out an insincere smile, "Did Xiao Liang be taken away here?"

"Yes, Miss Shimizu is the same?"

"Well," Ogata responded casually, and returned to the topic he said before, "The picture on the paper door is a chess record. If I remember correctly, it should be the third game between Huanan and Xiuhe."

『Ah, it was the time Toranojiro broke the cup! ’ Zuoi quickly reacted, 『——although Hideka-sama was reminded, but after Genan-sama left, Toranojiro was punished by Hideka-sama. 』

"Is it the game where Xiu Ce broke the cup to remind Xiu He?" Shinto said following Zuo's words.

"Yes, it was that time." Ogata affirmed his statement, "I just don't know what it means."

"This is a Go game and not a detective contest, so there will definitely not be any difficult puzzles." Sangu said lazily, "Go to the tea room and look for something, maybe you can find something."

"I don't think it's that simple." Fujisaki Akiichi said in contrast to the pitiful look of being startled just now, "Although this is a Go game, it is also a test of courage. If you draw a conclusion casually, you will be shocked Yes!" The last sentence exposed the reason why she was so tough all of a sudden, and it also made the people around who listened carefully to her speech suddenly dumbfounded.

"I don't think such anecdotes should be tested in a serious Go game..." Tsutsui mused.

"A serious Go game would not say that the prize is all you can eat watermelon, senior!" Yamazaki immediately jumped out to refute.

"But it's useless just thinking about it here." Ogata pushed his glasses, turned his head to look at Shinto, "Let's go to the tea room first."

His handsome features looked extraordinarily deep under the weak light, and his usually silver-gray pupils reflected green fluorescence at this moment, giving him a different kind of enchanting aura.

For a moment, Shindo was charmed by his beauty so close at hand, his breathing stopped for a second.

The next second, when he realized his own reaction, his whole body turned red from head to toe!

——At this age, I still look at other people's faces and see them stunned...

——He is really getting better and better!

"Um?Who do you see blushing?Xiaoguang? 』Natural stupefaction adds fuel to the fire without knowing it.

"Nobody! 』Shinto yelled at Zuowei angrily, then cleared his throat, "Then let's go to the tea room first—everyone, be careful not to get separated."

Fortunately, there was not enough light at this time, and no one noticed his blushing that almost burned his skin.

So the big troops moved to the tea room.

At this time, about 1/3 of the people participating in the test of courage have left the activity room. The next 2/3 are still in the activity room, and their actions are different, so it is difficult to express them one by one.

The hotel looks like a square from the outside, and the tea room and the activity room are at a pair of adjacent right angles.

In view of Xiu Ce's status as one of the "Three Saints", there are many people who know that Xiu Ce broke the cup in the match between Xiu and Huan'an to remind Xiu He of this anecdote, so the group is not alone on the way to the tea room.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of people who think the same as us! We can definitely find clues in the tea room!" Yamazaki Makoto was quite excited, "Miya-kun is really amazing!"

"Hmph." Sangu snorted a sound as a reply.

"Although there are many people who agree with it, it may not be the correct answer." Kurosawa said lightly, "It's better to be more vigilant."
