Chapter 51: The First Motive (Part II)
"Interesting?" The ten gods of the white night, who did not smile, raised his head suddenly. The lenses of his silver-rimmed glasses reflected the light, obscuring his eyes.
Although his back was to me, I could clearly feel that for a moment, he was excited.
"Puff puff - excited? Excited? The black and white bear covered its mouth, let out a snicker, then straightened its waist (if it had a waist), waved its hand at us, and said, "You see, for the sake of the cannibalism of all the super-college students, whether it is time, place, environment, or characters, all the elements of detective fiction can be said to be everything!" Why isn't there a murder case as in detective novels? ”
"Stop dreaming! The practice of letting others die and running away by yourself is by no means the way I, Yamada, Ichi, Two, and Three treat my partners! Yamada Ichizusa also danced angrily and shouted.
"That's right, that's right!" As if suddenly realized, Asuna Aoi stretched out her finger and pointed in the direction of the black and white bear and shouted, "That's right! We've been missing for over 24 hours now! Outside, our parents should have reported the crime, and the police have taken action, right? ”
I remember that when I introduced myself, as soon as Ishimaru Kiyotaxia mentioned his parents, the atmosphere of the audience instantly froze. I thought it was a delusion.
It doesn't seem to be an illusion. When Asahi-Aoi mentioned her parents, the atmosphere was not as simple as "a cold", it was simply a Parkinson's patient's hand on the nuclear bomb launch button.
As if he had heard some joke, the black and white bear clutched his stomach and grinned: "There will be no police!" If you really want to get out of here, wouldn't it be nice to kill each other? ”
"There's too much nonsense," Cyrus continued to finger his hair on one side, "So, what are you going to do this time?" ”
At the end of the crowd, Hibiki held his chin and said coldly: "Motive." ”
"That's right! It's motivation! As if enlightened, the black and white bear spread one paw underneath it, and the other paw was clenched into a fist, and he struck it vigorously, replying as he tapped, "The reason why you have been able to maintain harmony and unity and not kill each other until now is because you lack the motive to kill!" ”
"So...... Now, are you going to provide a motive for the killing? A cold light suddenly shot out from the eyes of the misty cutter.
"Puff puff puff - correct answer!" As if he was really happy because someone answered correctly, the black and white bear smiled and waved his hand, his face became a little gloomy, "In the computer room, I have carefully prepared the first 'motive for killing' for you." Check it out! ”
Without waiting for us to answer, it returned to its podium. Disappeared behind the podium.
The silence was so embarrassing that it lasted for a minute in the gymnasium. It was the sound of the mist cutting louder again, and it was the first to come from the back of the crowd.
"So, what do we do now?"
Looking back, the Kiri Hibiki had disappeared in place, and then appeared in - oh no, walked to the door of the gymnasium, turned around and asked us.
There was no wind in the gymnasium, but that didn't stop her, letting her long lilac-colored hair flutter.
"Is it enough to stand here all the time?" Hibiki sighed, touched her head and said, "It's better to go over and see the motives that the mastermind behind the scenes has prepared for us." ”
With that in mind, she pushed open the door of the gymnasium and strode towards the computer room.
"She has a point," Celes crossed her hands on her abdomen, her face twisted into the corners of her mouth downward, as if talking to herself, "It's a fantasy to want to live here forever if you don't have the ability to adapt to even the slightest motive for killing." ”
Are you really qualified to say that? I'm secretly slandering. Cyres ignored Asahi, who still maintained a shocked expression, politely said "Gui'an", and left the gym with a graceful step, following Hibiko Kirikiri.
Yamada one, two, three followed. It seems that he quickly found his "queen".
It seems that Makoto Naeki and Sayako Maihara are also developing very quickly, and they also start to come and go in pairs, which causes Ishimaru Kiyotaxia to complain a lot.
I opened the gymnasium door in front of the White Night of the Ten Gods and left this room. Maybe they think I'm an eyesore, the eyes of the ten gods looking at my back...... It seems to be very cold.
……
At 8 o'clock, everyone went to the video room.
As in anime and games, there is a small cardboard box on the floor of the computer room, which is filled with DVDs. Each disc was wrapped in a thin sheet of plastic paper, on which our respective names were scrawled in marker.
I took out the CD that said "Ryusuke Onikawa" and plugged it into the computer in the third row on the right.
"Hey...... I said, "Why are you sitting next to me again?" "Looking at Celes in front of the computer on the right, I felt like I was covered in black lines.
But that's not the point right now. I turned on my computer and put the disc into the disc reader.
The head of a black and white bear, which rotated around the screen a few times. With a half-circle of "reading" characters, an image finally appeared on the screen.
Actually, I'm more curious about what kind of motivation Enoshima shield will prepare for me. Ryusuke Onekawa has no relatives for a long time (at least in Ryusuke Kikikawa's memory, the few "relatives" he can think of are not worthy of Ryusuke Kikikawa's life), my own ...... It's not worth it.
An image appeared on the screen: Ryusuke Onikawa and his parents sitting in the lobby of an airport, watching planes outside pass back and forth on the runway.
My former parents were just ordinary people. Even if you are a child, you should not speak ill of your parents. But if there is no plane crash...... Even if I crossed over and possessed Ryusuke Onigawa, I would just be an ordinary person living in ignorance.
At that time, Ryusuke Onegawa was probably only three or four years old, not yet old enough to remember. Therefore, in the memory of Ryusuke Onikawa, this scene in front of him is a rare warm memory.
Wrong...... It's not just parents! In the middle, there was also a little girl about seven or eight years old, standing next to Ryusuke Kikikawa's parents, happily looking at Ryusuke Kikikawa who was sitting on his parents' knees.
"Ryusuke Onigawa-san used to have a happy family. There's a father, a mother, oh yes, and a sister," the black and white bear's voice was faintly tinged with a hint of schadenfreude, like a war maniac glorifying the disaster he had created to his followers, "It's so beautiful! ”
I really don't know who the producer behind the scenes is. If it weren't for despair, he would definitely win the Oscar at his level.
The picture changed, the scene of the plane crash. I saw the gray-haired old professor, and I saw me crying in my childhood.
"As a survivor, Ryusuke Onikawa-san was adopted by another survivor. But he also lost the memories of before he was six years old. For example, Ryusuke Onikawa shouldn't remember to forget, this sister who wasn't on the plane at the time, right? ”
The light on the screen fades. As the tone of the black and white bear changed, only I was led by something, when I was a child, and the little girl who was looking into the distance, and I couldn't see her facial features from the screen.
In the end, everything is gone. On the dark screen, only a huge CCTV screen remains, and an equally huge black and white bear head.
After the head of the black and white bear with an eerie red glow flashing in its right eye disappeared, only the huge Japanese title remained: The answer will be published after graduation!
Even through the headphones, I could still hear a poignant and tragic voice in the back row of the classroom shouting, "No! No! ”
