Chapter 17: Fireflies in the Dark
"This is the school gate."
After walking along the ruined wall for two or three minutes, everyone finally came to the gate of Akichi High School.
Contrary to what everyone thought, they thought that there would be a huge school gate in front of them.
"There used to be a huge iron gate at the school gate, but after the school was abandoned, the school gate was demolished." Nakagawa Qing Pheasant explained, "Of course, this is also just right, the iron gate is high and heavy, if it is really still there, without the controller of the security room, it is not easy to enter Qiuzhi High School!" ”
"Let's go separate at the school gate... You can tell us which area you want to go to, and we'll try to spend an hour or two exploring Akichi High School! ”
After all, Yuki Yamazaki and Yasuda Qingyang are here to chase the girl, so Nakagawa Pheasant also helped to the maximum.
Say where you want to go, so that other people don't subconsciously go to a place where there are people.
"I'd like to go to the gym room." Kimura and Tree were the first to speak, after all, the gymnasium was the scene of the fire, and if Akichi High School really produced a soul body, he would definitely be able to detect the clues when he got there.
In the era when the aura was not revived, these souls that remembered the world after death, generally speaking, where they died, would basically stay there.
It's not because of any restrictions, but if you run around, it's easy to turn gray under the scorching sun. And even at night, if an ordinary soul body is in a place with a large flow of people, it will be washed to death by the huge yang energy.
Only when it reaches the realm of metamorphosis and after the metamorphosis can the soul body walk in the sun and linger in the noisy city at night.
"I'm okay with that." Shiori Chiba heard this and nodded in response, she, like Kazuki Kimura, came for that fire incident herself.
"Then Keiko and I will go to the girls' dormitory... I heard that 20 years ago, a girl committed suicide in the dormitory, causing resentment, and many girls died mysteriously at that time. ”
After Yuto Yamazaki finished speaking, he quietly glanced at Keiko Sakai, and saw that the other party did not refuse, and breathed a sigh of relief gently.
And Yasuda Aoyo and Suzuki Aichi are preparing to explore the teaching building, after all, many campus unthinkables happen in the teaching building.
After the assignment, everyone didn't talk much, and soon separated.
In the end, Nakagawa Aopheasant also said goodbye to Kazuki Kimura and Shiori Chiba, and rushed towards the national community, with hurried steps, obviously in a hurry.
Shiori Chiba looked at the back of Nakagawa Pheasant suspiciously, and at this moment only she and Kazuki Kimura were left at the school gate.
Kazuki Kimura looked at the five-story school building in the distance, and the windows seemed to be deep, black holes. The ground beneath his feet was not intact either, overgrown with weeds and cracked roads.
This school has become a classic horror scene.
Kazuki Kimura didn't talk to Shiori Chiba, he went straight to the direction of the gymnasium.
The gymnasium was located at the back of the school building, and Kazuki Kimura didn't have the heart to go anywhere else and went straight to the gymnasium.
Seeing that Kimura and Tree were gone, Shiori Chiba also followed, but she soon found that Kimura and Tree were walking fast... She couldn't even keep up.
In addition, I have just walked a long uphill road, although I have rested for a while and feel better, but in fact, I have not slowed down at all.
"Kimura-kun, do you think it's weird?" Helpless, Shiori Chiba had to open the topic, and sure enough... As soon as she spoke, she saw Kimura Kazuki's footsteps slow, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's weird?" Kimura Kazuki turned his head slightly, and saw Chiba Shiori following in a hurry, knowing that he was in too much of a hurry, and gradually slowed down, but he was quite interested in Chiba Shiori's words.
Could it be that this light novel writer has discovered something?
"That Captain Nakagawa," Shiori Chiba thought for a moment, "why did he deliberately separate himself?" He said that going to the national community to dig out the time capsule of his childhood is a big loophole in itself. ”
"Don't you think it's rude to speak ill of people behind your back?" Kazuki Kimura frowned slightly, his own curiosity was not heavy, because curiosity often went hand in hand with trouble.
Whether Nakagawa Pheasant said the truth or a lie before was the same for him, he didn't care.
"Speak ill of people?" Shiori Chiba was stunned for a moment, then she stroked her hair and said in a calm tone, "I'm not talking badly about people, I'm just explaining a strange phenomenon." And... Speaking of impoliteness, I think Kimura-kun is obviously not a light novel writer, why did you choose to deceive people? ”
Kazuki Kimura glanced at her and said lightly, "You're right, I'm really not a light novel writer yet, but I'm just about to enter the industry, so I came here to feel the atmosphere." ”
Although Shiori Chiba didn't believe it in her heart, Kazuki Kimura didn't want to say more, she didn't have a problem with the other party.
One thing she thinks in the same way as Nakagawa Pheasant is that she thinks Kazuki Kimura is a strange person... This strangeness is not that she thinks Kazuki Kimura is lying, but a feeling of wholeness.
Although Kazuki Kimura has a medium appearance, he has a very special temperament, and if he has to say it, he feels a little detached from foreign objects. The eyes are calm, the gaze is always calm, and the physical strength is amazing... Even if ordinary people have good physical strength and have walked for so long, they should gasp a little, sweat a little or something.
After all, in the spring evening, the temperature at night is still very low, and after walking for so long in thick clothes, there is still a long uphill road, so there must be something abnormal, but Kazuki Kimura is obviously relaxed.
Although Shiori Chiba was tired at the time, her observation was amazing.
Just as Shiori Chiba was looking down and thinking, Kimura and Tree suddenly stopped, and she almost crashed into Kimura and Tree.
"What's wrong?"
Shiori Chiba looked around and saw that they were still within the confines of the school building, and had not yet reached their destination.
"I'm going to go to the gym room alone, so you don't have to follow me." Kimura and Shumichi, "I was going to come here alone to feel the terrifying atmosphere, but now that you're next to you, I don't feel that way at all!" And you're the same, you were going to come alone, so let's go our separate ways here. ”
Shiori Chiba didn't respond to Kazuki Kimura's words, she looked at Kazuki Kimura deeply, "You... Did you find something? ”
"Found what?" Kazuki Kimura was stunned by this question for a moment, and then he suddenly felt in his heart, and his tone was impatient, "You don't think I'm some kind of demon slayer and demon exterminator like Nakagawa, right?" ”
Shiori Chiba silently looked at the Sun and Moon Sword in Kimura and Shu's hands, and nodded silently.
She... That's what I think.
Kazuki Kimura sighed deeply... Somewhat weak. Why are these guys able to see his essence through the surface...
Is he really that conspicuous?
