Chapter 18: Gone

The rain outside the window did not stop during the interlude, and there were still dark clouds behind the layers of dark clouds, and the sunlight hid out of sight, leaving only gloom, and it seemed that there was no end to the panic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I explained the "thing" I saw in the classroom that day to everyone present, and everyone's reaction was extremely strong, Jin Chuan was so frightened that he stuck to Momoi, but was pushed away by Momoi with his elbow, Shui Jing and Kimi were scared together, only Momoi and Guanghui were calmer.

Of course, I omitted the episode between Miyayama and Momoi, both of them were a little embarrassed at this time, Momoi was still willing to continue to be friends with Miyayama, I'm afraid Miyayama apologized to Momoi afterwards, and kept a proper distance, which I observed in the next few days, and he didn't hate me much recently.

The eight of us gathered in the window group, which is my seat, and after I finished speaking, we all looked towards the mailbox...

"Xiaoxi, will the 'that' at Youren's feet be the same thing you said?"

Faced with Shui Jing's question, I nodded affirmatively,

"Nozomi, camera—"

Shui Jing suddenly reminded me that I had made a bold idea before, but I hadn't implemented it yet, and now I can try it.

INTERVIEWER What will be photographed? I'm not sure.

Yes, judging from the comparison of the two photos taken by Shui Jing before, the first one only has "feet", and the second one extends to the calf... So, by analogy, if Shui Jing continues to shoot the third and fourth photos at that time... Obviously, one photo after another, will extend the appearance of the whole "body", will it be the kind of weird appearance I see that cannot be called a human body?

So we needed to confirm that I walked up to the podium with the Polaroid camera that Shui Jing had handed me, and aimed at the seat of Yuren, which was at the end of the second group of entrances, in front of the mailbox to be exact.

The seat was empty, and I held the camera up in front of me – and pressed the shutter.

-- Click--

The camera spits out a photo, and it doesn't take long for the image to appear.

"Huh... Nothing. Shui Jing took the photo and fanned it a few times, then looked at it carefully, and passed the photo to everyone again.

"Xiaoxi, isn't there the reason why no one is sitting there..."

"You mean... Or..."

I looked at her suspiciously, Shui Jing shook her head: "I won't go, I'm afraid..."

"I'll go."

Momoi decisively walked to Yuruto's seat and sat down, "Ruriki, you take another picture." ”

"Hmm." I nodded, "Click", and the camera spat out another picture -

This time there was still none, and Momoi's side was empty.

After that, the brilliance who is bold and good at punching and kicking also passed the test, and Chiba Nori, who was born in a family of witches, also went, and the other four boys except Kanekawa went to that seat to take pictures, but they found nothing.

"What's the reason?" Shui Jing asked.

"Could it be... Is it really only a Yuto sitting there that you can see? ”

"Speaking of which, it's not just a strange place." Miyayama's hoarse voice came out from among everyone.

"What's this strange method?"

Miyayama cleared his throat, but it didn't change much, and his voice was still as hoarse as just now: "Once, when I arrived at school, I happened to meet Yuruto, and when I came to the staircase of the teaching building, he stopped, and I didn't pay much attention to it, so I went upstairs before him, and he followed me upstairs, but he was counting... And he only counted in the singular, and I was very puzzled, and I turned around to ask him what he was doing, but when I turned around, I found that he only walked upstairs with his left foot..."

"And after that?" I don't know who asked, it seems to be Jin Chuan, I didn't pay much attention.

"After that, I asked him anyway - 'why did you go upstairs like that,' and he said 'that' made him do that, and I asked him what 'that' was, and he said 'that' was in the classroom, and he couldn't say."

Everyone looked at each other, and then they all looked around the classroom with wide eyes, a strange atmosphere diffused, Shui Jing was completely glued to me, Ji Mei was also frightened and leaned against the corner, Kanegawa shrank behind Chiba Nori, only Momoi and Guanghui walked around the classroom, and they didn't notice any abnormalities, but everyone felt that the temperature in the classroom seemed to have become colder than before.

"—Leave Yuto behind after school tomorrow." Momoi looked at Guanghui and said, as if he was giving an order, and Guanghui also gave an "um" as if he had received the order.

"Shui Jing, Xiao Xi, can any of you accompany me to the toilet..."Ji Mei's voice was even quieter at this time, almost to the point that she couldn't hear it.

"That's... Let's go together. I said, turning my head to confirm with Shui Jing, who nodded in agreement.

- About ten minutes later, I went back to the classroom and things changed.

Momoi, the five of them and Shui Jing looked at me as I walked into the classroom, and I wondered.

"How?"

"Isn't Kimi with you?" Shui Jing asked me.

"Isn't Kimi with you?" I asked her even more strangely.

Ten minutes ago—

I heard the sound of someone flushing the toilet before me in the toilet cubicle, I guess it was probably either Shui Jing or Ji Mei, there was no fourth person except for the two of them, it was already past seven o'clock in the afternoon, and there were only a few of us left at the school at this time, and then I flushed the toilet and came out of the cubicle, planning to go outside to confirm who went out first, or that both of them went out, maybe they were still waiting for me outside the door.

When I came out, I saw the backs of two girls in school uniforms in the hallway, and they had already walked to the corner of the east staircase.

After listening to my words, Shui Jing's face changed greatly, because she also went back to the classroom after going through the same situation, but when she came back, she scolded in her mouth, "It's really unrighteous, and she said that it was together, but the two of them left first..."

"Shui Jing, did you see 'me and Jimi' at the corner of the east staircase?" I asked, as the women's restroom was at the end of the hallway on this side of the west staircase.

"Hmm," she replied in a trembling voice—

Shui Jing was terrified at the same time, I was also terrified, we all knew each other, the one who was with Ji Mei at the corner of the east staircase was not each other-

That... The one with Kimi is...?

Before I could speak, Momoi had already run out of the classroom first, in the direction of the east staircase...

- Kimi is gone.

This was the conclusion we had come to the conclusion after an hour, it was completely dark, and the leaves were rustling in the night breeze.

"Will Kimi have already gone home?" Jin Chuan said.

No one answered him after he finished, and everyone was probably asking the same question, but no one spoke.

"If you don't call Jimei's house, you'll know as soon as you ask."

Momoi took out his mobile phone and went to Jimei's house to call, and it was Jimei's father who answered the phone, and he said that Jimei hadn't arrived home yet.

After hanging up, everyone fell silent...

"Ruriki, do you remember what the person who was with Kimi at the corner of the east stairs looked like? What are the characteristics? Momoi asked me.

To be honest, one east and one west, that kind of distance is a little...

"It's a little far away, and I can only see that I am wearing a girl's school uniform, and it seems to have long hair, so I thought it was Shui Jing at that time." I said.

"What about the water? Do you remember what kind of person it was like? ”

"Like Xiaoxi, I only saw that I was wearing a girl's school uniform, and I didn't pay attention to my hair."

Everyone's faces were bruised, why did such an unbelievable thing happen.

My gut told me that Kimi was still in school, and everyone's instincts seemed to be the same as mine, but we couldn't find her.

Without a sound, suddenly, Chiba Norishi said, "Let's play hide and seek, maybe we can find out Kimi in this way." ”

He said it was a "special" way of finding people that his grandmother had taught him, but only when that "special" disappeared.

And - this rule of hide and seek is also "special".

Everyone returned to the classroom, and there were only seven people at this time, and Chiba began to talk about the rules of the game-

The scope of hide and seek is limited to the classroom floor, the first player to find someone is temporarily set to R, R needs to hold a coin in his hand, R only needs to find one person in each round, not sure about the goal, after finding it, R hands the coin to the other party, R does not participate in the later games, returns to the classroom lectern and waits, and then the person holding the coin will become the new R to continue the next round, and then decrease... There's also an important rule – don't speak.

"And what about the last person left? I mean, who is he going to? Jin Chuan asked curiously.

"When there are two people left, it's the last round, and when you find it, the game ends, and the missing person will appear on its own." Norito Chiba replied in a lowered voice.

"That sounds scary..."

"Uh... But it worked—"

And so, this thriller game began.
