[Comprehensive] A world full of conspiracy

Except for the small commotion caused by Mai Taniyama's transfer to Class [-] of the third year, the first week of the new semester passed in peace.Not just superficial calm.Even the sound-collecting and temperature-sensing instruments brought to school by Haitang Future didn't show any abnormality.

However, Hara Masako, who caused a sensation by transferring to another school before, only stayed at the school for one day before leaving Yemishan because she was going to Tokyo to shoot a TV show.It is said that during the filming, he accidentally fell down the stairs, and his left arm was scratched a lot.

When Yuanzhen Shazi returned to Yejianbei on Sunday, everyone saw that the entire left arm was wrapped in gauze, which looked rather oozing at such a sensitive time.

It was a rare day when Nalu and Lin were not around, and the rest of the SPR staff sorted out the materials with the three girls from Class Three, who came to help, and chatted casually.

"Hey... I suddenly had an idea." Hosho Takikawa repeatedly looked at all the information collected by everyone during this period from the first session of Miyama Misaki 34 years ago to the last session about the third class of the third year. Information, opened the mouth.

"Did you find anything?" Hearing Takikawa Hosho's voice, everyone focused on him.

"Look, except what happened 34 years ago. It started from 33 years ago. Not every class has the dead come back. But is there any kind of frequency of the dead coming back, and the number of people who died in the third class of three years? These are the feelings that are increasing year by year?"

"Eh? So, it seems to be true!" Mai Taniyama replied quickly, "But hasn't it been reversed in recent years?"

Takikawa nodded and replied: "I think the turning point was 7 years ago. The reason, probably because the deceased in previous years were all students, but the deceased in that year was a teacher?"

Matsuzaki Ayako nodded in agreement: "Indeed. In short, except for the first few years when the method of 'choosing a non-existent person to replace the deceased' was not found in the first few years, 7 years ago was considered the worst in all aspects. 30 people basically Few people survived. Moreover, there was a student Koichi Sakakibara who joined after the school started that year, and this child was completely kept in the dark and didn't know whether he could have any communication with the "substitute" of the deceased. Even in the end, together with the "stand-in" Misaki Naruto, they were ignored by the third class of the third year. What's more, the method of "just killing the dead can make everything return to normal" was also exposed that year. Therefore, That year was impossible to ignore no matter how you look at it.”

"Hey, Ayako, when you use your brain, you can occasionally come up with a decent analysis." After listening to Matsuzaki Ayako's long speech, Takikawa Hosho patted Matsuzaki Ayako's shoulder with the information, with a face of "I'm very serious "The expression commented.

As expected, Matsuzaki Ayako exploded at one point, and waved Takikawa's hand away: "Dead monk, do you want to quarrel?"

Being interrupted by such an interruption, the solemn atmosphere just now turned into floating clouds in an instant.

"Saturation..." Yuan Zhensha suddenly said.

"What?" Mai Taniyama asked everyone's thoughts.

Yuan Zhensha didn't answer directly, but said: "I said before that I am a little concerned about the atmosphere of that school, Yejian Shanbei Middle School. Actually, it's not a big deal, and that kind of weird sense of presence It's quite thin. Normally, I might not pay attention to it, but I don't know why, but this time I pay special attention to it."

"Strange atmosphere... or something, I didn't feel it at all." Mai Taniyama frowned and said, "I haven't even had a dream since I came here recently."

"What does this dream have to do with it?" Asada Natsuki interrupted Mai Taniyama curiously.

Takikawa Hosho replied: "Mai is a potential ESP (Note 1). Many times before we got useful hints from Mai's blessing in her dreams."

"It's amazing!" Natsuki Asada and Maria Onoda said at the same time.

After the short episode, Yuan Zhenshazi went on to say: "Do you still remember what happened at Luling High School (Note 2) before? It was a school-wide curse. At that time in Luling High School, I felt similar to Ye Jianshan Beizhong. A sense of oppression. How should I put it, it’s like the feeling of an invisible shackle outside the school, isolating the school from the world around it.”

"Is it really a curse?" Takikawa Hosei asked.

Yuan Zhensha shook his head: "Not really. Although they are similar, there are actually obvious differences between the two. Uh... let me think about it. By the way, if the feeling of Luling Middle School is to 'release' the curse, then the night The feeling of Jianshanbei Middle School is the corresponding 'absorption'."

"absorb?"

"Hmm. Although I don't really understand what I'm 'absorbing'. But you see, there are not many students who died in the school in the third class of the third year, but there is not even a single evil spirit in the whole school, no, not even a ghost. Ordinary spirits rarely appear. Don't you think that the whole school is too 'clean', instead it's a bit strange?"

"Indeed." Takikawa Aso said, "Then, what do you mean by saturation just now?"

Yuan Zhensha lowered his eyelids: "This is just my speculation. Didn't we just discuss that the number of dead students and their families in the third class of the third year rose all the way to seven years ago, and then began to fall back? I was thinking, could it be because The number of deaths reached the saturation state 7 years ago? For example, it is like a beast that has been hungry for a long time. Then overeating, only eat enough to sustain life."

Takikawa Hosei touched his chin: "It makes sense...but..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mai Gushan: "However, even if the 'dead' appeared in the third class of the previous years, they all graduated safely. Then the 'beast' no longer 'gluttony', or no longer What about 'eating'?"

"Eh?!" Natsuki Asada exclaimed, "'Beast' hasn't 'eat' for three whole years, it won't come to our class... just hungry... right?"

At this time, everyone who was in deep thought did not know that this interrogative sentence that no one answered turned out to be a prophecy.

※A world full of conspiracy※

Time came to Monday.

At about 06:30 in the morning, the engine of a motorcycle not far outside probably failed to start, and it continued to ring for nearly half an hour.

Haitang opened her eyes in the twilight in the future, and the sky was dark.So he closed his eyes again, and with the sound of the engine starting, his thoughts drifted between half-dream and half-awake.So when the car finally started to leave, facing the suddenly quiet world, I felt a little uncomfortable.

The sky was still dark, which made Haitang, who was used to opening his eyes to see the sky bright, looked at the time three times in the future, and finally convinced himself that it was already 10:[-] in the morning, and in [-] minutes, the alarm clock would ruthlessly announce his bedtime the end.

From the moment I had breakfast, I could barely see a faint blush in the weak spots in the dark clouds that overwhelmed the city.At noon, the same place still shone with light, but the color turned into golden yellow, resembling the momentum of a sunrise breaking through the clouds, but after a long struggle with the dark clouds, it was finally defeated.By the time the class was about to start in the afternoon, the sun had completely disappeared in the thick clouds.

I don't know if it's because of waking up early in the morning, Haitang Mirai feels very tired all day long.In the afternoon, my mind went blank during class.Even if I forced myself to take notes, my hands were still writing, and my eyes were closed if I didn't pay attention.

Haitang Future only felt like she was paddling a canoe in the waves. The teacher's voice on the podium came from afar, but she couldn't hear it clearly. Everything she looked at was like a dream.

After finally getting out of class, Haitang got up and left the classroom in the future to go to the bathroom to wash her face.The coolness spread across her face, bringing her back to her senses a little.

After leaving the bathroom, Haitang was about to return to the classroom in the future, when he passed the stairs, he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and dragged up to the unlocked rooftop.

After striding into the roof and closing the door, the other party finally stopped.Turning his head to look at Haitang Future.

Haitang Future is also looking at the young man in front of him, with an unfamiliar face, wearing a black dress that is incompatible with the atmosphere of the school.However, those familiar green eyes still gave away the boy's identity.

"Zakala? Why are you here? Didn't you say that you will never come to this world with me?" Haitang Future, who finally woke up after a series of accidents, asked with a smile.

However, there was no smile on the boy's face that the black cat turned into: "What's the matter with you? You were sitting on the boat in the Styx one second before, but suddenly disappeared the next second."

"Ah? What did you say that I suddenly disappeared, isn't it the world you sent me to?" Haitang Future asked in confusion.

Zakara replied: "I'm going to send you to this world, but not this place, let alone this time! Calculate the current time according to the time you met Eugene in Styx, and I'm going to send you to England one year later. .Originally, the normal relationship is the causal relationship of you meeting Eugene and then coming to this world. But now, it has become the result before the cause.”

"Are there any serious consequences?" Looking at Zakala's serious face, Haitang Future asked in a low voice.

"Of course there is! SPR shouldn't have come to this place. This year's three-year class three should have lived peacefully until graduation like the previous ones! You should be glad that Eugene is dead now, and the future you are still alive. The possibility of River meeting Eugene. Otherwise, you will be obliterated by the 'rules'."

Although the focus of Zakala's speech was obviously the last few sentences, Haitang Future didn't pay attention to this point, grabbed Zakala's arm and asked: "What do you mean that Class [-] of the third year should graduate safely? Could it be that..."

Before Haitang could finish speaking in the future, he heard the sound of glass shattering clearly from downstairs, followed by a commotion in the crowd.

Seeing Haitang's eyes asking for proof in the future, Zakara nodded slightly: "As you imagined, the first victim of the third class of the third year appeared."

After getting an affirmative answer from Zakala, Haitang was no longer in a hurry to leave the rooftop in the future.

"Because of me?"

"Huh?" Zakara obviously didn't understand the meaning of Haitang's future.

"Is it because I came to this world that Class Three suffered such bad luck?"

Zakara replied a little speechlessly: "...If you think about it with your toes, of course not. What are you thinking?"

"Eh? But didn't you just say that the cause and effect are reversed, so the third class of three years can't graduate safely? Isn't it the butterfly effect caused by me coming to the wrong time and place?"

"Isn't the point just now that you were almost wiped out by the 'rules'? Speaking of the butterfly effect, you should have been blown by the wings of a certain butterfly many years ago. It should be that some human beings signed a contract with some powerful beings, so It has created a world that is different from the original world rules."

"What does a powerful existence mean?"

Zakara shrugged: "Who knows, probably gods, elves, witches or something."

After a pause, Zakara went on to say, "By the way, I called you for a long time this morning and you didn't respond at all."

"This morning? I don't know."

"Didn't you hear the sound of the motorcycle? I waited for at least half an hour and you didn't come out to take a look."

Haitang raised his forehead in the future: "...Is there such a thing as calling someone? Only the devil would know that you are calling me."

"Isn't it always played like this on TV? I wanted to throw stones at first, but I felt that the risk factor was very high."

"..."
