44 Keys to the opening

Hachikage stood aside with his arms crossed, watching Senior Shirai leave.

"Don't you catch up?" I asked.

"Let him go for the time being."

"I seem to appreciate his performance today." I teased, handing her the ban list, "Unfortunately, today isn't your lucky day." ”

"What is this?" Hachijing frowned, and there was her name on the list that I had deliberately circled with a red pen.

"The school will rectify the student organization and your whispering will be banned." I said it seriously.

"Banned? My club isn't in the file at all! ”

Does she mean that unlawful associations cannot be regulated by formal explicits? This statement is as if the triad does not recognize or accept the control of national laws.

"Could it be that you didn't register because you didn't even register because of today?" I'm guessing it.

"It's not going to go through anyway, is it?" Hakkei deftly dodged the edge.

"That's right...... Anyway, I've done my part, and if you want to keep going, be careful that you'll be punished with a demerit. I reminded.

"Don't be kidding, Gao Chuan-san, do you think the school is really that lenient?" Hachikage seemed to be well versed in the unspoken rules, and instead asked me, "How about it, do you want to join us?" According to your ability, you can be treated quite well, and there are many cute girls besides me. ”

I couldn't help but scratch my head, although the abbreviation of the Whispering Society sounds very funny, but the full name feels like an amateur group studying the occult, the so-called "Hell, Psychic and Mysterious Whispering Society", it should be a gathering of a group of girls who are passionate about tarot cards, delving into magic, fortune-telling and spiritism, and those bluffing tricks, right?

However, judging by Bajing's recent after-school actions, it looks like playing a detective game.

So, what exactly does this illegal group do?

"As I said, I can hear a voice from hell that tells me that the world will soon be destroyed, and only those who ride the ark will be saved." Hakkei seemed to see through my doubts and explained, "The purpose of the organization is to find the Ark. ”

Not to mention how credible her words are. Zhilu said that he was once involved in the apocalyptic illusion, and in reality, he encountered strange things that happened to Sakuya, and now I don't dare to immediately assert the truth or falsehood of those words and deeds that seem to be fantastic. But I still don't understand.

"What does this have to do with spying on Senior Shirai?"

"Since the voice from hell carries the message of the end of the world and points the way to salvation, it is certainly not about the total destruction of mankind. But considering that not everyone can hear that voice......"

"So there must be some special people who are the key to saving humanity." I've already thought of what she said later.

"I'll just say that Takakawa-san must be understandable." Hakkei showed an appreciative expression and said, "The Ark is the key to saving humanity, it is a unique thing, so you can only find clues from unique people, and Senior Shirai, like me, has unique qualities." ”

Certainly different. Even though I didn't see the Pattern on Shirai's left wrist just now, it proves that he is not a Messenger of the Pattern, but he is also the Chosen One who was once involved in the Doomsday Illusion. I was a little surprised that he was beaten in the fight just now, and his nose and face were swollen.

Maybe Hakkei actually heard the voice from hell, but she believed in it and acted according to that voice, which was really different from ordinary people.

"I'm a little curious, when did you hear that voice from hell?"

"A year ago. You don't seem surprised. For me, who was quiet, Bajing showed interest instead: "When you were absent from school before, I concluded that you were also a special person. What do you think? Join us, it's a rewarding thing. As soon as you join, I can tell you more things. ”

"More things?"

"The voice from hell is a big mouth that is afraid of loneliness."

"Let me think about it." The information I gathered today was enough for me to digest for a while, and before leaving, I had learned a lesson and warned her carefully, "For your sake, it's better not to go too deep." There will be life-threatening injuries, and maybe even family and friends. ”

"I've thought about that." Hachijing just replied: "I have my own ideas and practices, if it really is for my sake, please keep this conversation secret." ”

I said goodbye to Hakkei, and when I got home, it was already half past six, and Sakiya cooked dinner with convenience food bought at the supermarket. I thought she would be at home all day. Salt and condiments have been added to the convenience food at the beginning of the preparation, as long as it is thrown into the pot and cooked according to the instructions, it can be eaten, and the taste is not good or bad. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I suddenly have some regrets.

"I can cook, too, but there's nothing in the fridge." Sakiya argued.

"Can't you buy it yourself? I'll pay my share. ”

"But I won't buy groceries." Sakiya emphasized, "I haven't bought it myself, no matter what, don't you be a little scared when you do it yourself for the first time?" ”

I can understand that, but I still have to say, it's half-hearted.

"I was beaten up by Morino at school."

As soon as I said this, Sakiya immediately became nervous and stopped her chopsticks worriedly.

"Did she say something nasty? It was my fault for not informing her, but there was no reason to find Achuan. ”

"She's very angry, maybe you didn't look for her first time when you were in trouble, which made her feel lonely. You're good friends, and no wonder. ”

"I think it's dangerous right now, so it's better not to involve her. Please, Achuan, don't tell her I'm here. ”

"I'm fine, but Morino has threatened to dig you into the ground and find out, she doesn't look like she's going to give up."

“…… It's really bothering. Sakiya sighed.

"Sakiya, Morino is Senior Shirai's girlfriend, right?" I asked.

"Well, I heard that they were a couple when they were in junior high school."

"No matter what happens to Shirai, she will be the first to know, right?"

"Probably...... What's wrong? Sakiya cast her gaze suspiciously.

"Senior Shirai has been very beautiful lately, he doesn't seem to be like this before. Doesn't Morino think it's strange? I said tentatively. ,

"I think it's a little strange too, but people change, especially if you have amnesia after you go missing...... Sakiya exclaimed, "Ah Chuan also lost his memory after he disappeared, you guys too." ”

Did I guess wrong? Sakiya's surprised expression doesn't look like a fake, but something strange happened to his best friend's boyfriend, and the two have never discussed? Is it because Morinoguchi is tight, or did Senior Shirai have the foresight to instruct him?

I, Sakiya, Morino, Shirai, and Hat Man, after getting more information, I can connect these names to each other, and what happens to everyone almost revolves around a core. But knowing the core of the Dao is useless, and all events have an initial source.

I think everything happened after Mr. Shirai returned from disappearance. But there were a few pieces of the puzzle that were missing, and I couldn't put together the full picture of the incident. It's all because someone is hiding something that has happened, including Sakuya, which worries me a lot.

Sakiya doesn't seem to be aware of the seriousness of the matter even though her life is in danger, and it's probably something that is difficult to say, and I don't want to force her to answer. But in this way, hiding in my house and not going to school will not solve the problem, it is just a negative way of doing things.

For me, it doesn't matter what people I don't know about my own affairs, even if I die because of it, I don't care. But Sakuya is different.,After meeting again, we became friends.,Yesterday I did something similar to confession.。 I couldn't ignore her attitude.

Because I was angry because I cared too much, I kept my face stiff. Sakiya also saw that I was in a bad mood, so she didn't speak anymore, silently picking up her food, like a sick and aggrieved rabbit.

"What if...... I say if. In the middle of the night, Sakiya opened his mouth to break the suffocating dullness, "If I do something bad, will Achuan give up on me?" ”

"What's not good?" I stared at her, making her head sink into her rice bowl.

Sakiya's shoulders trembled slightly, and the chopsticks stopped, as if crying, but no sound was made. I don't know what her expression was when she was wronged before, but I seemed to catch a glimpse of her hiding alone in a no-man's corner, suppressing her voice and sobbing.

I sighed inwardly and reached out to take her hand. The hand retracted like an electric shock, and it was clear that it was going to break free, but I was determined to hold on to it, and I wouldn't let go no matter how much she tried to escape. After the end, the slightly cold hand gradually warmed up.

"I killed someone, Achuan." After a long time, she made a small sound.

"It's okay, I killed people too."

"Different, different!" She shook her head vigorously, "They have nothing to do with me, and they don't want to harm me, we are strangers who don't know each other. But they died, and I killed them. What to do? Achuan. What to do? ”

She excitedly recited "what to do", but I couldn't even say a word of comfort. Sakiya in my eyes is a slender and kind girl, but she says that she killed innocent people, and she is not like such a person, but she is repenting for her mistakes.

There may be no more serious sin than murder, but I don't know what it is.

She kept repenting, and at a glance she knew that she was not lying, and she was under the pressure of murder and inner remorse.

I could only hold her tightly in my arms as if I was going to press her into my chest until her body stopped shaking.

"You've been punished, so, don't cry."
