[Comprehensive] A world full of conspiracy

"Haitang, you gave us a fright just now. Why did you stand up all of a sudden?" When it was time to leave school, Asada Natsuki came over and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, just seeing that kind of scene, the pressure is too great." Haitang Future replied perfunctorily, "By the way, after Matsui left... there are only 28 people in our class, right?"

"Yes." Asada replied a little discouraged, "There is one unlucky deceased among the 28 people. I really hope he leaves by himself."

No one was surprised by the number of people. After all, Haitang did not raise this issue in public in the future.

Maria Onoda went to the drama department, and Mai Taniyama also participated in the reading department at the second library because of the administrator of the second library, who was also the head teacher of the third class of the third year Tatsuji Chihiro 33 years ago.And Masako said that he still has some things to care about in school, and he will stay in school for a while.

Therefore, this afternoon, Natsuki Asada, who had to go home to help look after the store and did not participate in any clubs, and Haitang Mirai, who was not interested in clubs, first came to a small hotel where the SPR group lived.

Matsuzaki Ayako was not there, looked at Mr. Lin, who had hardly spoken since the first meeting, and was listening to the sound receiver he had brought back, and Takikawa Hosei, who was comforting Asada Natsuki. Haitang Mirai finally turned his attention Shibuya Kazuya.

"Naru, can you come out?"

"What's wrong?" asked Shibuya Kazuya who followed Haitang Mirai out of the room.

"...Do you remember how many people there are in our class?"

Shibuya was also taken aback, a little unsure what Hai Tang meant by asking in the future, but finally answered seriously: "Of course, including Mai, there are 29 people in total."

Haitang future bit her lower lip, suddenly thought of a possibility, and then asked: "So, do you still remember how many people there were in class three of the third year before Miss Gu Shan transferred to our class?"

Hearing this question, Kazuya Shibuya frowned: "Even your simple brain can calculate that there were 28 people before Mai transferred. Are you wasting my time?"

"Okay. Then I'll ask one last question." How could it be 28 people?My student number was clearly 29 before!Although it is inexplicably changed to the 28th now, "So, Naru, remember when we decided to transfer Ms. Mai Taniyama to our class, we discussed it so that it will be the same as 7 years ago, right?"

Seeing Kazuya Shibuya's frown deepened, Haitang didn't give any time to react in the future, and continued: "But there were 7 people in the third class of the third year seven years ago. If there were only 30 people in my class, we couldn't say Say something like 'same as 29 years ago'."

Shibuya Kazuya stared at Haitang Mirai for a long time, and finally said: "You said that, I have a vague impression. But the specific reason for saying 'same as seven years ago', I don't quite remember. .”

"..."

Before Haitang could say anything in the future, Lin's voice suddenly came from the room.

"Naru! Collected."

No further questions about the number of people, Haitang Mirai and Shibuya also returned to the room.Hosei Takikawa and Natsuki Asada had already gathered around the computer.

Seeing the two come back, Lin played back the recordings, and each of Asada Natsuki and Haitang Mirai had collected them in the sound-receiving instruments placed in the desk drawer before the football broke the window.However, because it was the end of get out of class time at that time, the classroom was very noisy. Even if the volume was turned up to the maximum, only a weak sound of electric current could be heard.

"I analyzed the two sounds. Although they are generally in the same frequency band, there are still some differences in various aspects."

Kazuya Shibuya asked, "What about the temperature?"

"The thermometer over there at Asada showed a slight increase in temperature at that time."

"...rising?" Asada Natsuki said, "But, didn't Taniyama say that the temperature should drop when there are evil spirits haunting it?"

"That's true." Shibuya Kazu did not show an impatient expression like Haitang Mirai imagined, but instead replied seriously, "If it is an evil spirit, the radio waves will be disturbed and the temperature will drop. But, relatively , if anthropogenic, the temperature would rise subtly."

"Artificial? Who is it? The legendary dead?" Asada Natsuki asked.

"I don't know yet." Shibuya Kazuya said, and glanced in the direction of Haitang's future.The gazes of the others followed Shibuya Kazuya as well.

"..." Haitang Mirai also looked back at Kazuya Shibuya.

"I'm back." When everyone was silent, Matsuzaki Ayako suddenly opened the door and walked in, as if sensing the strange atmosphere in the room, she asked, "What are you doing?"

Shibuya also looked away and looked at Matsuzaki Ayako: "How is it? Is there any gain?"

Ayako Matsuzaki raised the documents in her hand: "Yousuke Matsui's death was really weird. He was stabbed in the heart by glass, but there was such a amount of bleeding that even a layman could see that it was abnormal. After taking out the glass fragments, Matsui-san The bleeding couldn't stop at all, and all the first aid measures were completely useless. Not only that, even after the heart stopped beating, after the time when the blood should stop flowing, Matsui continued to bleed for a long time, like that, like It’s the feeling of never letting go of blood, never dying thoroughly.”

"It's scary!" Just listening to Matsuzaki Ayako's description, Asada Natsuki turned pale.In the afternoon, the scene of Matsui Yousuke lying on the desk struggling to death should be deeply etched in her mind.

Matsuzaki Ayako raised her eyebrows: "It's not just you. Even the nurses who participated in the rescue said they had never seen such a miserable scene in their life. This completely violates the common sense of medicine. Now the whole hospital is embarrassed. If it weren't for my hospital and This attending physician has some overlaps, and there is no first-hand information at all.”

There was another moment of silence, and then Haitang said in the future: "This doesn't make sense, does it?"

"It's been said that even a layman can see that this is completely against the common sense of medicine." Matsuzaki Ayako replied.

Haitang shook his head in the future: "No, I mean, this is different from the previous 33 years, isn't it? Even if there was a more miserable way of death than being stabbed in the heart by glass, it didn't violate the common sense of medicine, right? All the ways of death are well-founded, at least it seems clear that it was an accident. But this time, the whole class of 30 people, even the students who were in the corridor at that time, did not notice where the ball came from. It came here, and how did it disappear. Just from the fact that the crime tool seems to have never appeared, it is very suspicious in itself, isn’t it?”

"It's really strange to say that. Moreover, I was sitting next to Matsui at the time, but I was not injured at all. The broken glass seemed to be aimed at Matsui." Asada Natsuki replied.

"There are 30 people in your class?" Shibuya Kazuya asked suddenly.

Natsuki Asada was taken aback, and then replied: "Yes, 29 students, plus Mr. Itakura, the class teacher. Although Mr. Itakura was not there at the time of the incident, he rushed over to ask about it. What's the matter, is there any problem? "

"No, nothing. Any other information?"

Shibuya Yi also said, and then took a look at Haitang Mirai. Sure enough, there were 30 people in the class, it was just your illusion.

"..." Hallucinations or something, this is too strange.

This doubt lasted until Haitang returned home in the future.Walking on the road, Haitang Future suddenly saw two girls carrying volleyballs home, they seemed to be members of the volleyball club.

Wait, volleyball?

Haitang turned around and ran towards the school in the future.

"Eh? Where are you going, Haitang?" Natsuki Asada shouted from behind.

"I suddenly have something to go back to school, Asada, you should go home first!" Haitang Future replied while running.

Back at school, the classroom door is still closed.Haitang Future heaved a sigh of relief, opened the door and walked into the classroom.

"... Haitang? Why are you back?"

Unexpectedly, a voice sounded from behind, and then a hand patted his shoulder.Haitang suddenly turned around in the future, it was Yuan Zhensand.

Seeing that it was a familiar person, Haitang Future heaved a sigh of relief: "It's Yuan, you gave me a fright."

"Why did you come back suddenly? Mai and Onoda, who participated in club activities just now, have already left." Yuanzhen Sazi asked.

"If you're a little bit concerned, come back and make sure." Haitang returned to her seat and sat down in the future, looking out the window.

Sure enough, if you don't sit by the window, it is impossible to see the complete playground.However, I have been paying attention to the volleyball class on the first day of class.If you are sitting in the current seat, you can only see half of the volleyball court.

"Have you found anything?"

"Yes. But, Yuan, do you still remember how many people there are in our class three?"

"29. Now without Matsui, there are only 28 left." Yuanzhen Sazi replied without any hesitation.

"Although I just said it like that, I don't think you will believe it. However, in my memory, there were already 29 people in the third class of the third year before Gu Shan joined the class."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"How should I put it. I only came to register on the first day of school, but I remember that my student number was No. 29 at that time, and the seat was the window seat, which is the seat made by Gu Shan now. Because the first day of school The other day, I watched my PE classmate play volleyball on the playground all day. At that time, I confirmed that I could see the whole volleyball court. However, if I was sitting where I am now, I could only see half of the volleyball court. .”

"So you're saying that after Mai transferred to another school, your student number became No. 28, and your position moved forward?"

"Well, that's what it means." Haitang Future nodded, "However, in my memory, I haven't changed positions. Moreover, if my memory is not wrong, then, with Gu Shan, the third class in three years should be There are 30 people. I clearly remember that when Gu Shan first transferred, the classmates in the class refused to accept her, and they said things like, "Isn't it the same as 7 years ago?" But... well, anyway, I I feel like there has been one less person in the class since sometime.”

"..."

Seeing Yuanzhen Shazi's skeptical look, Haitang didn't expect her to believe it in the future, but she continued: "In my impression, the 'non-existent' student Matsui Yousuke was in the second place from the very beginning. The one next to the window, and there is indeed Minami Shiori on my left. But my seat and student number have moved forward. So, I was thinking, the seat should be behind Matsui Yousuke, and in Nanshi Someone before weaving disappeared."

"..." Yuan Zhen Shazi still didn't speak.

"Oh, forget it, you won't believe it anyway." Haitang future waved his hand, "Actually, to be honest, now I'm very doubtful that the idea of ​​'there should be 30 people in the third class of three years' is not an illusion. Okay. Well, I'm going back."

Haitang Future turned around a little discouraged and walked out of the classroom.

"Although I think your words are not very credible, isn't this situation of 'someone in the class disappeared but no one else noticed' is somewhat similar to the situation after 'returning the dead to death'? But you But I don't know who the 'disappeared' person is, and I don't know when he disappeared." Yuan Zhensha finally spoke.

"So, that's true." Haitang Future turned around and looked at Yuanzhen Shazi.

"Perhaps you are right. But since the deceased's departure can erase the memory and all related materials, if the 'dead' really disappeared by himself, and you don't know why the memory has not been erased, There is no point in arguing now. As long as there are no accidents in the third class in three years, it will probably prove that what you said is feasible."

"So, you don't believe me at all, do you?" Haitang asked in the future.

"Well, that's it." Yuan Zhensha replied ambiguously, "I also noticed some abnormal phenomena."
