Chapter 41: What the Name Is...

When I opened the report, it went like this.

"I'm dead, I'm in the endless emptiness of death in the car accident of my class trip, but my consciousness is not completely dead, or what is called a 'spirit', and it still has a temporary connection with this world, and the 'lily of the valley puppet' among you I have seen and seen it clearly... No, it's not a 'lily of the valley puppet', it's just a related existence, that's because someone has peeked at the 'red window' and connected this place to 'that place', so 'that thing' will be among everyone, everyone will die one after another, there is no 'why', there is no 'what to do', I am already dead, and you will be like me, and you will become 'inevitable' in this 'bad luck'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

When I saw the last, I heard a long sigh from my uncle...

"The doctor said that the child was said when the death was confirmed after the rescue, because there is monitoring equipment in the rescue room, so what she said can be recorded word for word, but in what form to keep this record, the doctor is very difficult, after all, Ayami has confirmed death when she said this, is it preserved as 'the deceased becomes the oral account of the undead'? There were only a few doctors and nurses who rescued the case, and they decided to save it as the 'ante-mortem statement of the deceased', and quietly deleted the surveillance video, and no one mentioned it again, but handed the report to me. ”

At this time, Uncle raised his eyes and looked at us, and in his pale expression, I could see a glimmer of hope intertwined in it, perhaps because he didn't want to see me and the rest of the students in the class do the same thing after Ken's death, he preferred to think that it was not "inevitable", and there was a way to save him, but he hadn't found it yet...

I suddenly thought about the school admission register, and both Chiba and Dr. Morinan mentioned "the superfluous person"—the person who was not on the school admission register but was among us, and I immediately asked.

"Uncle, where is the admission register? I'd like to take a look. ”

Momoi, who was on the side, nodded his head as soon as he heard my proposal, and we both believed that this was a "countermeasure" that had not really been implemented, and that it might be useful.

After a while, the uncle found the school registration book, and I stared at the black cover book in his hand, and my heart was pounding... I don't know what the reason for my sudden fear... Or maybe I do.

"2007 Senior 1 Class D Student Enrollment Record..."

Momoi and I checked each name, and at the same time, we began to search for "that person" in our minds.

"I see... Know who it is... Ruriki, I think you know that too..."

Momoi covered my mouth as I spoke, and we knew we couldn't say his name... That's right, we searched in our minds for "that person" who wasn't on the admission register.

- He's K!

"Not really..."

Momoi's eyes were empty, obviously all his thoughts had stopped in his memory and hadn't jumped out yet, I'm afraid he hadn't guessed that it would be this person before.

"What's going on?"

Uncle sent a question, and I explained to him the reason for this "countermeasure", and he thought about it.

"Well, when Zero Three found out about this problem, they must have found the person who wasn't on it in the school register, right?"

"Yes."

I nodded to confirm what Uncle said, but at that time, no one except the students of the first year of high school D thought that anyone would know, but none of them were spared.

"Rurihi, no matter how the incident develops, this method can be tried... No, it must be done, although it is not clear what happened to the D class of the first year of high school in the 03rd year after the implementation, why they did not succeed... But I think it's the way out, it must be. ”

"But how do we get this name out to anyone in the class other than this one?"

I asked Momoi when it was inevitable that he would win, and he choked up...

“... uh..."

"Since you can't say it, can you make sure that you don't let that person know about it?"

- "He hates the 'countermeasures' that everyone comes up with, Xiaoxi, you must be careful..."

- "K hates our countermeasures, and if we implement the "countermeasures" to avoid bad luck, bad luck will befall K, which means that if we don't die, K will die, like a kind of replacement..."

These words kept popping out of my head, perhaps, Class D of the first year of high school in 03 missed in this kind of communication process, so...

In other words, in this process, we must not let K find out that we already know who he is, and we must pretend that there is no difference from the past, and if something goes wrong halfway... Then we can only wait for the total annihilation.

-- This is the only and last resort.

-- A way that you can't go wrong.

Just thinking about such a "countermeasure" makes me panic, and in fact, it is easier not to know what to do than to know that "this is the only feasible thing that cannot withstand the slightest mistake".

――In this way, it makes sense why Zero Three found a "countermeasure" but still did not escape the doom, and all the contradictions and unreasonable places became smooth, and I don't want to trace what happened to Zero Five, which is roughly the cruel fact that all the deaths were caused by mistakes in the link, and as for why the rumors said that it was okay that year, I think - this may be the result of the school's strong "lockdown", and there are only twelve students in Class D of Zero Five High School, if these twelve people regard suicide as " Temporary transfer to the school", it is not difficult for the accident students to do "silent half a word", after all, the onlookers know that if they tell the truth, they may come to the bad luck to contaminate themselves, so they would rather keep saying that the class has never happened, which is the best reason to keep the seal, but it seems too far-fetched to suddenly say that nothing happened that year, so I borrowed the "turning point" of 03 years as the most reasonable explanation... That's how all this should have been formed, right?!

As for why K ended up being that person... I really didn't guess before, if he was K, then when we around him found out that he was "redundant", would his family or friends outside of school also "not exist"? When did this "phenomenon" begin, in other words, when did he become the role of K, what was the reason for becoming K, and was he autonomous or forced as K... These questions make me feel powerless... I just stared at the school registration and couldn't say half a word.

"I really didn't expect it to be this person" There is no point in saying this.

"Do you have any plans now? Ruriki? ”

Momoi asked me.

I looked at him and turned to Uncle again.

"Uncle, please organize an outing in the name of the school..."
