"Why?"

Momoi's glare turned from glaring to disappointment, his pupils shining with a cold glow that made me feel piercing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ruriki... You just—"

"It's not me—"

I couldn't help but exclaim.

"Do you want me to think of it as a simple accident..."

He continued to ask me.

... Not an accident, I know.

I can explain how powerless I seem in the face of death, which has become a fact, if not what I did, but how much it has to do with me...

Momoi hadn't arrived at school at the time of the "check-up", and I searched for him in the crowd at that time, but I didn't see him until he stepped into the classroom and witnessed the tragic scene, so he mistakenly thought that I was "slaughtering all beings".

“... There's something else..."

I said something lightly, and then told him what had happened, and Momoi came back to his senses after a moment of thought and stretched out a hand to me, and his expression softened a lot.

But I'm a little uncomfortable with his cold and merciless gaze just now, at least he should have listened to me first... Forget it, I understand that everyone can't stay normal during this period, and even hormone secretion is not at the basic level, and it is understandable that anyone in the class suddenly becomes two people.

"I hurt you just now, I'm sorry."

After being pulled up by him, I realized that I was untidy, and when I hurriedly tidied up, Momoi also turned his back in embarrassment.

I didn't blame him for hurting me, and anyone could have lost their minds a little after witnessing that vicious stimulus.

He then accompanied me to the school doctor's office to treat abrasions on my knees and elbows, and when I returned to the classroom, the entrance to the classroom had been cordoned off by the police, and the ceiling had collapsed and it had become a dangerous zone, so the entire floor was cordoned off.

The students of Class D of the first year of high school all came to the corridor on the first floor of the complex building, and the thick gloomy atmosphere almost made me feel cold...

Just as everyone arrived one after another, among the few or so people left in the corridor—

"I have something to say."

Suddenly, someone came out of the middle of everyone, it was Jin Chuan, who had light brown hair, he habitually brushed the hair on his forehead, looked at everyone seriously and said.

"Things have come to this point, and I feel compelled to say something."

As soon as I heard his opening remarks, I didn't think it boded well.

Thinking of Jin Chuan's strange behavior on the night of "hide and seek", why did he say that Shui Jing went to another classroom at that time... And what Ji Mei said later, I think there must be something related to this.

Moreover, according to my inference, Jin Chuan lured me into the classroom of Class C with only one "purpose", he wanted me and Shui Jing to cause a "miss" ending, and if we staggered, he could do "hands and feet" in the middle... Can it be inferred from this?

But why did Jin Chuan do this?

- Actually, Jin Chuan, he... As long as you don't go out, someone will replace you...

Kimi said this at the time, the word "substitution" reminded me that I was currently serving as a "dissident" in the class, "substitution"... Could it be that Ji Mei wants to tell me that Jin Chuan he...

This kind of thought made me unable to keep calm, and a certain indescribable sense of fear arose, could it be that there are still people in the world who want to be a "lily of the valley puppet"?

Judging from the ability of the "lily of the valley puppet" to kill people wantonly, it is conceivable that Jin Chuan has hatred for someone? But that's all I think.

- I took a big breath of cold air, and my heart began to beat wildly out of balance.

In other words, if Jin Chuan arranged it that way, it means that he knew what would happen that night...

Including his performance in "Nao" that day, in fact, at that time, when we thought that "K" was Chiba Nori, there was no Kanegawa among the five people who were spread, and at that time I thought that the "mutiny" that I was most worried about was most likely to happen to Kanegawa, a strong intuition that could not be explained, no matter who "K" was, I felt that Kanegawa would reach some kind of "consensus" with "K"... That's what I think.

At this time, everyone was silent and voted silently on the affirmative reply of "let Jinchuan speak".

"I think the accident just happened when we were verifying who the 'lily of the valley puppet' was, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? This may be the 'lily of the valley puppet' afraid of revealing their identities so they openly carry out a killing act, what do you think? ”

Jin Chuan suddenly bid farewell to the image of a pseudo-mother at this time, and became like an advocate, and I caught a glimpse of his calm side face, which was not inferior to the calm expression of Momoi when he was calm.

When everyone said this, everyone began to whisper one after another, and almost all of them agreed with Jin Chuan's opinion.

"Ruri-ki-san—"

Jin Chuan turned to me suddenly, his momentum was a little aggressive, completely out of proportion to his delicate girl-like appearance, he looked at me with sharp eyes and continued.

"It seems to have happened when Ruri-ki-san was preparing to 'verify', right? I remember that the only people present at that time who didn't do the 'verification' were you and Momoi, and Kihara, and the three of you, and the results of everyone's order before clarified that they were not, so I think it is necessary for the three of you to do another verification and complete what you didn't do just now, what do you think? ”

I didn't pay much attention to Kihara, but with the exception of me and Momoi and Nori Chiba, almost everyone appealed to Kanegawa's proposal, and even Mizuzuzu sided with Kanegawa.

Obviously, the target has been locked on the three of us, and the informed Momoi and Chiba Nori, needless to say, they already know who the "lily of the valley puppet" is-

I looked around and felt that everyone was looking at me strangely, as if the answer to the infinite panic had become clear in an instant, and their eyes were like blades around me, as if they were still "hateful" and "angry"—it hurt me.

"Wait..."

It was Momoi who suddenly shouted, and he walked between the group with his hands in his trouser pockets, and said in a tone as if he was about to start a showdown.

"I think it's even more problematic to do that."

Momoi was calmer and more graceful than Kanegawa, he coughed slightly, looked around and then fell on Kanekawa.

"I want to ask Jin Chuan, why do you think that method will definitely be able to verify who the 'lily of the valley puppet' is? Before the accident, all the students who were verified showed 'no', which does not mean that the people who did not do the verification are suspicious, I would like to ask Kanegawa-san if all the results show 'no' after the three of us have 'verified', then how do you decide? ”

"Momoi, I can't say that, as long as it's not verified, it's possible, and, as far as I know, this method has also verified other things of the same type, and it works very well, so... That's why I believe it so much. ”

"Really? Did Jin Chuan consider the safety of everyone present? For example, if that kind of thing happened just now, since it is a 'lily of the valley puppet', it can't be ruled out that it will happen again, aren't you afraid? ”

Momoi didn't give an inch, his hands in his trouser pockets all the time he didn't take them out, and that posture felt like that of a young defense lawyer in the courtroom.

"So how about we vote? Let everyone decide. ”

After Jin Chuan finished speaking, he gave a look to someone next to him, and the person took out a note and handed one to each person-

Soon, the results were, except for Momoi, Chiba Nori, and Kihara who voted against, everyone else voted "verified", and of course, including me...

After announcing the results, the three of them threw extremely incomprehensible glances at me at the same time.
