Chapter 61: The Black Compass

I hadn't really heard of this kind of thing from Sakurama, but it seemed that I could feel a faint feeling when using an obsidian weapon, as if something was constantly stripping the power from the weapon, and I had to use excess physical strength to maintain its shape.

"Well, I'll promise you, it's late, you won't want to spend the night here. Jorim straightened out the paper on the table, where he had spent the whole day except for his morning walk and meal, and the blank paper was already a mess, and some of them couldn't even see what had ever existed on it.

"Really, thank you, I'll come to you tomorrow morning. ”

"Whew...... This guy is finally gone, aren't you going to ask about this sigil?" Jorim glanced at the black sigil, there was no other clue and it was very difficult to decipher what it meant, and Sakuruma was the only one who knew the secret of the sigil, but she disappeared without a trace at this time.

In the middle of the night, the moon was still as gloomy as before, and shadows covered the whole land, and only the torches planted in front of each house in the courtyard continued to glow, and they became darker and darker, as if they were about to be extinguished.

"Mu Feng, are you still awake?" Vera stared at the pitch-black ceiling, making him feel a little uneasy tonight, two hours had passed since the lights went out, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Before he could find Sakuruma or figure out the true purpose of her departure, Mu Feng couldn't sleep well at night, and the strange feeling he had during the day returned to his brain again in the dark.

"I'm a little bored, can you go out for a walk with me?" Vera sat up from her bed, looking worriedly at the empty floor.

"Good. ”

Leaving Gao Zhi alone in the house, Mu Fengye and Vera stepped on the stone road in the courtyard together, there is no wind at night here, and it is inevitable to feel depressed in that kind of closed house, speaking of which is not the first time, this feeling has been with them every night, and it is not like a sharp knife in their hearts all the time.

"Classmate Mu Feng, how long are we going to stay here? It's been almost a month, and we're probably already holding our own funerals in this life. Vera anxiously walked around the houses on both sides of the courtyard, which were dotted with an eerie air by the drowsy torches.

"I don't know. "If Sakurama was here, he would probably be able to answer this question, but now that there is no her, everything seems to have stopped at the beginning, and Mu Fengye can't think of a second way except to keep looking for her.

"I don't know if my father and mother made my funeral more solemn. ”

"Vera, don't say that, we will definitely have a chance to go back, everything may have changed since we returned to this world, but we are still friends. ”

A warm current poured into Vera's heart, and she nodded happily: "Yes, Mu Feng and Sakurama will definitely be able to take us out of here, and I will also help Mu Feng tomorrow!"

"What was it just now?" Mu Fengye paused, his eyes glanced at the terrace not far away, something seemed to flash from the faint moonlight just now, was it a person or something else?

"Mu Feng, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. He immediately shifted his gaze to the nearby house, if I remember correctly, it was Jorim's room, what was he doing sneakily here so late?" "Vera, you go back first, I just remembered that there are some things that I haven't discussed with Jorim yet." ”

"But it's so late, Jorim must have gone to bed. Although he said this, Vera still listened to Mu Fengye's words, yawned and turned around and walked to the house, it seemed that the anxiety in his heart had been relieved a lot by walking for a few minutes.

Vera's figure disappeared into the darkness, and the darkness seemed to swallow up the fire around her.

Mu Fengye came to the door of Jolim's house alone, he went to the window, and found that the curtains there were all closed, and he couldn't see the inside, and at this moment, his afterglow saw a black mark engraved in front of the door through the light of the torch!

"Oops!"

"Jorim!"

"Bang!" The glass of the window suddenly shattered, and a pitch-black flying knife flew out of the house and stuck it on the door panel of the opposite house! Something really happened inside, Mu Feng was not idle at night, and slammed the locked door hard.

Seconds later, the latch was pulled down, and Jorim staggered out of the room clutching his bleeding left shoulder.

"Hey, what's wrong, what's going on?!"

"Sooner than expected, thanks to your voice scared him away. Jorim walked to the opposite house and pulled out the black knife stuck in the door, which immediately turned back into stone and was taken back into his pocket.

"Who is he?"

"The guy who manipulated the black compass, it looks like he overheard our previous conversation, be careful yourself, he should be planning to kill everyone who knows about it, Sakuruma's disappearance probably has something to do with that person. "The wound on Jorym's shoulder is not very deep, and it can be vaguely seen that the knife edge is not very smooth, if it weren't for Mu Fengye's shouting outside, I'm afraid this knife would have landed on Jorim's neck!

"This is the mark I just found, and it's not the same as the previous one. Mu Fengye didn't pay much attention to Jorim's words, he was trying to meet the guy who used the black compass as soon as possible, a weapon that could only be used to escape and transfer had no chance to confront Yu Che head-on.

"We don't know exactly what these marks are, only Sakurama knows a little bit about it. Jorim picked up the paper with the imprint from the table, and compared it with the one on the door, he found that it was indeed two different imprints, and he heard Mu Fengye say that this thing represents the direction.

"Did you just see the man's features?"

Jorim shook his head, everything was too sudden, he was lucky to be able to survive, where did he have the time to observe what kind of characteristics the guy who assassinated him had.

"But I saw the black compass, and though it was only a glance, I found the same mark as this one. ”

"Hmm, what's going on here?" The female voice from behind made Mu Fengye startled slightly, and it turned out that the Jinguji sisters who were in charge of guarding the vegetable garden at night also noticed the sound here, but only the younger sister Jinguji Chigusa came here.

"Jorim was attacked, did you see it on the road......" Mu Fengye just wanted to ask Chigusa if he had found any suspicious people, but suddenly thought of Jinguji Qianhui, who was alone in the vegetable garden, "Go to the vegetable garden and have a look!"

Jorim also followed, tonight's incident made him completely wash away the suspicion from Mu Fengye and the eyes of everyone, since Jorim appeared, I thought that he was the one who planned all this, but now I can finally let down my guard against him, if you are a friend, give him a little more trust.

The three of them hurried to the vegetable garden, and the good news was that Jinguji Chie had not been poisoned.

"Chigusa, what are you bringing the two of them back for?" Chie glanced at Mu Fengye and Jorim with disdain, and she saw the wound on Jorim's left shoulder at a glance, "Could it be that you are here to take refuge?"

"Jinguji, have you found anyone here?" The vegetables in the vegetable garden have grown a lot, and this is also the time to be wary.

"There's no one else but you and my sister, what's the matter? Looks like you've just had a fight with that thief. ”

"It's okay, let's go back first, you two be careful and pay more attention to your surroundings. Jorim didn't plan to let the sisters of Jinguji know more things, so he pulled Mu Fengye out of the vegetable garden.

"Hmph, if it weren't for that guy Takagi, I wouldn't have wasted my sleep time here. ”

"Sister-sama, when you go back, you will be able to compete with Kenichiro Takagi in a dignified manner, and at that time, you can win the competition even if Chigusa does not play. ”

"Chigusa, what are you talking about?"

"Eh, sister, I don't want ......."

"I've never said that Takagi would get out of here alive, since it's a competition of honor between the two families, wouldn't it be more interesting to try to win?" Chie smiled as she sat on the stone and hugged Chigusa's body with open arms.

"In this way, no matter what my sister does, Chigusa will agree and support. ”

"This is my good sister~"

Jorim moved to the empty house opposite with his backpack, Mu Fengye couldn't let go for a long time, Sakura's disappearance may be related to the user of the black compass, but after using a few short teleportations, the user must have spent a lot of physical strength, Mu Fengye knows that feeling, I'm afraid that person won't make another move today.

"Can Obsidian sense that user?" Jorim watched Mu Fengye fiddle with the obsidian map all the time, his obsidian was different from most people's, which piqued his interest.

"No, it seems that you can only sense each other in a place where you can see the map. ”

There are neither more nor fewer people on the death list, and the photos have only been released by a few people who have died, and the rest are impossible to get the right number just by guessing the outline, and the appearance and name of the other twenty people Mu Fengye have almost forgotten, and their impression is only the tip of the iceberg, and they only know that the rest of the students hate themselves.

"Jorim, you said we were going in the wrong direction, right?"

Jorim nodded, "Although I haven't had a lot of contact with Sakura, and I've only met once, I can feel that even if she leaves, it shouldn't be now, we don't know much about this world, and if she plans to abandon the people here, she should wait until she gathers more useful information before leaving." ”

Mu Fengye couldn't believe where Sakuruma was now, maybe her name was not on the death list at all, her existence had always been a mystery, and everything about her except for that name was completely incompatible with this person.

"By the way, Sakurama said that you used your computer to connect to Obsidian when you were in the forest, can you find her this way?"
