"You're a kid of the Tsurumaru family?"

"-hmm"

I confessed it frankly, it seemed that Kihara knew far more than me, so there was no need to hide it from him, so I also told him about the incident between me and Yoshio. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that I still don't know what Yisheng's identity is, and I haven't explained anything.

"-Oh, I see, it's not difficult to do this if it's a child of the Tsurumaru family."

"You might as well say it directly, everything Kihara-san knows, you might as well say it directly, now it's hard to distinguish friend and foe among classmates, but Kihara-san's words, I believe you won't become enemies with me."

I thought about it and said.

"Ruriki, do you think I'm a reliable person?"

"Hmm."

He sneered and laughed, and though his lips were bloodless and his face was tired, he looked pale and decadent

"Actually, I don't know much more than you know, I only know that the birth of the child of the Tsurumaru family is the beginning of the whole bad luck, and your birth is a contract between the Tsurumaru family and the oniyama Soichi."

"Oniyama Soichi... Indenture? ”

"I can't fully explain it to you just yet, but I can only wait until you find the mailbox... Then you'll know, 'Who am I'—"

Kihara looked sideways at me, and he raised an eyebrow as if to say, "Please be prepared to accept the worst-case scenario." ”

Looking for a mailbox, how to find it, I don't have a clue at all, and even suspect that "mailbox" is just some kind of pronoun, not a mailbox in the real sense, maybe something else, the most disturbing thing for me is that at this time, I found that there are many people, I don't know their true faces, such as Kihara in front of me, or even Momoi, whether the people around me have another identity like Yisheng, and that is what they really are.

"I think things may not be the way they are." I said.

"What do you say..."

"Didn't you notice? The letter in everyone's hand seems to be divided into two states, one is to protect me from replying to the letter, and the other is to prevent me from replying, if the letter is sent to everyone by the same person, wouldn't it be very contradictory? I think..."

"Do you think two people sent letters to everyone?"

"Yes."

I nodded, and after a moment of silence, Kihara spoke.

"There's only one person... I think it's a person who does this, and that person's purpose is to watch everyone kill each other. ”

"But... Why? It doesn't make sense, why watch everyone hurt each other? ”

"I'm afraid there is someone who wants to kill but can't, so borrowing someone else's hand is the best way."

That's right, this possibility that Kihara said is reminding me - isn't this kind of relationship between Hegu and me?

"Anyway, after everyone dispersed, did you see Shimada-san?"

"Ken Shimada? It is better to say that it is more accurate. Kihara moved slightly, frowning from the pain, and then continued, "I haven't seen him since the man in black attacked everyone. ”

"What do you think the man in black is?"

“... Rurihi, if I told you that the man in black might be a classmate, would you believe it? ”

"Huh?"

I wasn't prepared for this answer at all, I always thought it was something running out of the window of the lily of the valley golem, and my eyes widened wide, not knowing if I didn't see it in the dark.

"I think the problem is that everyone went back to their rooms after lunch, and when everyone found strange letters in their rooms, someone had already changed... At that time, maybe something incredible changed. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In addition to the 'instructions', the content of everyone's letters should also have a 'contract', similar to making some kind of exchange to achieve the goal."

In Kihara's words, it's like selling your soul to a demon to gain power.

"Rurishi, aren't you afraid of me?"

"What...?"

"Aren't you afraid that the letter I just showed you may have been obtained from someone else, but in fact, my letter was for the purpose of killing you, aren't you afraid?"

"This—" I thought about.

"No, Kihara-san must not be hostile to me."

"Why?"

He had his usual slouched smile, and I didn't know if I was fooled by his pretty face, but in my heart, I really didn't doubt what he had said.

"No need for a reason."

I replied.

"That's good, sometimes things that don't have a reason are more real."

I looked at his calm side face and suddenly felt reassured, at least for now, I am not alone. From Kihara's words, I could tell that he was just making sure that I really believed in him from the bottom of my heart and was not an enemy of him.

"But how do I find the mailbox next, I don't know what to do?"

"Do you remember that invitation in the travel brochure? Those words above should be something useful. ”

"Invitations? I already know what the first two sentences mean, which means twelve o'clock in the evening, and I don't quite understand what I mean by 'the feast begins before Elsha's eyes'. ”

Kihara looked at his watch, "It's six o'clock in the afternoon, there's still time, can you help me up?" I'll take you somewhere.

"But... You're like this... Are you sure you can go? ”

"No problem."

Just as I was about to reach out to hold Kihara, there was a "pop" and something fell from the hole where I fell. But there seemed to be something else in that voice, and it sounded like...

I didn't care, I just wanted to see what fell from above.

-- It's a person.

"Anyone? Help me..."

From the flashlight I moved over, I saw half of a girl's face, it seemed to be Kimi, yes, it was indeed Kimi.

I hurriedly ran over, "Kimi, is that you?" ”

In the dark, Ji Mei's body kept shaking, and when I checked if she was hurt, I found that Ji Mei had a gunshot wound on her calf, and I could flash Momoi staring at the magazine in my mind, no... I don't believe that Momoi will hurt his classmates, it must have been done by someone else, maybe there is more than one person with a gun, but if it is more than Momoi, then this problem is too terrifying.

"Xiaoxi, isn't it you? Great, finally... Finally found you. ”

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, if it's Xiaoxi, you don't have to be afraid, I don't have to be afraid..."

Kimi's trembling lips continued.

"Xiaoxi, don't leave me alone, I'm really scared."

"It's okay, no, I won't leave you, Kimi."

"Xiaoxi, I'm going to tell you one thing, you have to avoid..."

"Boom-" sound, I felt like I heard the sound of forking fruit with a knife, and I dragged Kimi's hand to be instantly surged by a stream of heat, and Kimi was almost unresponsive when an arrow passed through her throat, and her throat and major arteries were pierced along with it.

Immediately afterward, someone jumped down from the cavity and landed steadily, with a crossbow in his hand.
