There are no weapons, no mysterious powers, no strong flesh, only a calm enough mind and a self-proclaimed strong will, which are far from the beast on the other side of the door, which does not know what it is. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info's dull breathing and low roar, the indescribable "smell" that emanated, and the fear that grew from his senses all sketched a terrifying and vague outline in Takakawa's mind, and that sense of déjà vu made him subconsciously come to the conclusion of what the opposite thing was in less than a second—the Gray Mist Demon.

A Grey Mist Demon in the form of a beast.

However, when he subconsciously judged that it was a gray mist demon, the fear and tension in Gao Chuan's heart relaxed a little. Speaking of which, before becoming occult experts, when they first came into contact with the mysterious doom, most people were just ordinary people, and they didn't even have the qualities of strength and calmness. Only under such absolutely unfavorable conditions, because of the explosion of survival instinct, because of luck, because of some decisive factor, it seems to survive by chance, and then go through a lot of such a journey of survival in the unfavorable underground, even in a desperate situation, can you finally become a "mystery expert".

After all, the title "occult expert" is not a term for a certain profession in the first place, but only for a person who can survive a crisis full of mysteries, accumulate enough experience and strength, and seem to be able to deal with such a dilemma better than ordinary people.

The situation in front of him is of course not good, but it is better than surviving a mysterious event for the first time; Compared to relying on luck to get out of a desperate predicament; Rather than searching and searching and not finding the right answer anyway; than giving everything but not being able to prevent the end from coming; Compared with the embarrassment of being able to use a "strong will" to free oneself; The helplessness of doing so many things and eventually leading to a worse outcome - the immediate difficulties are relatively undifficult.

Of course, if you don't handle it well, you still have to die.

Gao Chuan doesn't want to die here, all the clues are pointing to the "Jiang", and everything that is happening hints to him that he is not far from the "Jiang", and even has actually come into contact with it, the question is "what to do after the contact?" ”

Neither Dorothy nor Omi gave an answer in advance. Because this is something that no one can know in advance, except for "Takakawa" himself, no one else has experience, and even, if there is really a way to deal with it, among "Takakawa", there may only be "young Takakawa".

Therefore, whether it is "what to do", "what can be done", or "what should be done", it can only be explored and decided by oneself who is experiencing all this.

And before, you have to live-Takakawa took a deep breath, and he immediately realized that his seemingly faint movement had been detected by the "Gray Mist Demon" behind the door. The other party's aura began to change, and now all his qualities have been reduced to the level of ordinary people, and the capture of this aura change is very subtle, although it can be perceived, but it cannot reach the level of being able to analyze it carefully. There is only one sign of danger, which keeps spreading in the bottom of my heart.

In a way, all the exits to the old toilets - all the places that could be exits, such as doors and windows, - were sealed by the breath of this monster. I can't break through the wall myself. This means that it is imperative to confront the gray mist demon head-on.

Gao Chuan's gaze began to wander from the corner of his eye, and the sundries that could be reached were all dirty, and he didn't know how much he had left them, and the stains on them didn't know whether they were feces, urine, fungi, or mud, and they had formed hard lumps. Objects include: bricks, broken glass, brooms, mops and aluminium buckets. If you can, you don't want to touch it with your hands, but there is no choice.

When faced with mysterious events, "no choice" is a very common situation.

Takakawa took two hard puffs of his cigarette and moved his steps unhurriedly, and he could feel that on the other side of the door, something like a beast was staring at him. He walked over to the "weapon", picked up the aluminum bucket and mop, and threw the bricks into the aluminum bucket as a counterweight, making a "bang" that was so clear in the old toilet where there was no one but him and it. It was like a signal, almost making the monster behind the door pounce.

Takakawa made a noise, but as a result, the lure was unsuccessful, and the beast was very vigilant, and he didn't know how it judged whether its prey was strong or not. The sound of its breathing suddenly reached the compartment next to it, closer to Takakawa, and the wall between the compartment and the compartment could not stop it in the slightest.

――So, can you pass directly through a substance of a certain density? Perhaps, the "weapon" in his hands will not be able to harm it. However, it is also possible that there are more restrictions on how it exercises such mystery. The worst possible thing is that the mystery of this shuttle matter is like its omnipresent instinct, which continues to operate.

Takakawa thought, most of the fluctuating emotions were fear, but as he was used to, half of them were still calm. At this time, he especially didn't want others to come out of nowhere - although these sudden people often brought an opportunity for the survival of the occult expert, these people who became the opportunity often became victims. Takakawa didn't want other students to get involved and cause more casualties, even if he couldn't tell if what was happening in front of him was an illusion or something that was happening as it was.

However, as if "because he thinks so, it backfires", Gao Chuan heard the girl's conversation, perhaps because he paid more attention to the monster across the door, and he didn't hear what the girl's voice said at all, but he could feel that the other party was approaching. Moreover, more than one, after getting closer, inserted the voice of another boy. In addition, these voices were all in Takakawa's ears, and as always, they brought him that sense of déjà vu.

Is it an acquaintance of "Takakawa" again?

Gao Chuan couldn't help but think. At this time, the monster behind the door had a new movement. Before judging what it would do, Takakawa tapped the bucket again with the mop handle, making a louder sound. The monster's movement paused, and the sound of talking outside the toilet also stopped suddenly, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and only Takakawa could feel the tension as tight as a bowstring.

"Don't come in!" Gao Chuan just shouted so loudly. He can use the name of a student cadre to stop the other party, but since the other party will come to such a remote place, only "bad students" will come to this party, the name of the student cadre does not make people expect, and from a psychological level, it is also common to violate too detailed orders for the sake of adolescence.

If you say it in too much detail, it is easier to make these students restless than vague - Gao Chuan judged it this way, and he was not sure that even if he dissuaded it, the other party would listen.

So, before the other party could react, Takakawa turned his body sideways, swept past the door of the cubicle where the monster was, and kicked open the door of the cubicle in the deepest part of the toilet, he didn't remember very well, but the situation in the cubicle was the same as the part he needed most. The window of this compartment was broken, and it was a hole for people to drill out, which of course no one usually did, because everything was so filthy here.

Although this window hole existed, it was just like the first feeling, and the breath of the beastly monster also covered this place—it was a situation that could be perceived by the heart, and it was impossible to get out of it at all, and there was no way to really escape the range of the monster.

However, if no one tries to do something to lure the monster's attention, the students outside the toilet will become the monster's rations. If you don't make some noise, then the students who are outside the toilet are likely to choose to enter the toilet for various reasons after they come to their senses.

On the other hand, if you take risks yourself, you will be able to attract the attention of monsters and scare away students outside the toilet.

Takakawa didn't think that this was a "loss" thing, on the contrary, it was his self-esteem as a mysterious expert, and it was something that he had to do as a matter of course.

"What are you doing here?" Takakawa continued to speak, interfering with the students outside the restroom.

“…… Who's there? The bolder male voice asked rhetorically.

At the same time, Takakawa also sensed that the monster used the toilet aisle as the dividing line, shuttling through the opposite compartment, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the opposite side of where he was. Still blocked by a door, it did not cross the dividing line at all. Although it is not clear why it did not attack at all, and only maintained a "hunting" posture, Takakawa did have the opportunity to do more. He quickly checked the cubicle he had broken into, and replied to the students outside the toilet: "I'm Gao Chuan in the second grade, and someone has reported that some of my classmates smoke here, so the teacher asked me to come and see - you're not here to smoke, are you?" Of course, this is casual nonsense, but the deterrent effect is greater than expected.

The girl seemed a little flustered, and the male voice paused before saying, "No, we just heard some rumors, so let's take a look." "It seems like a bit of a retreat.

――It seems that they are just ordinary students.

Gao Chuan thought so, his eyes fell on the squatting toilet, where there were a few cigarette butts that had just been thrown away, and the wet ground had left stains on rubber spike sneakers, but because of the different styles of cigarette butts, it was not unusual for anyone to carry two packs of different brands of cigarettes with them, so it was almost certain that there were at least two people who had been here not long ago. On the tiled wall near the ground, a crooked line of words is written crookedly with a red oil-based pen: Don't look up.

And next to this line, if you don't look closely, you won't see the scribbled handwriting that is mostly obscured by moss: don't put your hand in the dog's mouth.

Judging by the handwriting and the presumed time, it should have been written by two people, and there was a long time between them.

These comments may or may not be useful. Takakawa couldn't understand it, there was too little information, but the current situation was strange and dangerous enough that anything could happen. These two seemingly inconsistent reminders may not be made out of absurd interest, but really hint at the response to some unusual situation.

――Is it a warning? What is the current situation? Was it the Grey Mist Demon that caused the student to go missing?

These speculations turned around in Gao Chuan's mind, and only a second passed, and the monster that could only be felt and could not be seen directly like a beast became more irritable than before, and its actions still did not make a sound, Gao Chuan doubted, and even the sound of its breathing, which he heard, the gradually stronger breath, was not something that everyone could hear and feel.

Perhaps, the students outside the toilet were not aware of these things at all.

Even so, the monster didn't make any further moves. Why? What is it waiting for? Or is there something that is restricting it?

"Did you see any other students when you came over?" Takakawa asked the students outside the toilet.

"No, no." One girl said, "We will tell them what we see." ”

"What's your name?" Takakawa said in a slightly stern tone, trying to force them psychologically.

"Shirai." The boy said.

"Morino." One of the girls replied.

The air paused, and the two names brought some emotional shock to Gao Chuan, but they calmed down in an instant. In the midst of all the strange and mysterious events, the current situation is still not so shocking, even if these names are acquaintances, it does not mean that they are the people they know. After all, whether all this is a hallucination or something else is not yet confirmed.

"Then you go back, if you see other students, help me say, the teacher is not allowed to come here, there are already people managing here." Takakawa said.

"Oh, okay, got it." The students outside the toilet hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have finally decided to turn around and leave, and Takakawa breathed a sigh of relief.

The footsteps were moving away, and Takakawa didn't feel it, and the monster on the other side of the cubicle had made any drastic changes because of the movement of these students. After a few breaths, the old toilet was quiet again.

Just as Takakawa decided to violate the warning of the strange handwriting and glanced up, a new familiar voice came from outside the toilet:

"Gao Chuan-san, are you in there?" The female voice said, as if she had been silent all along, just waiting for this moment.

Gao Chuan knew in an instant who the speaker was - Hachijing, a person who he could never escape, and in the strange situation now, she was still the "class leader" of her class as before. It is precisely because of the existence of the "Eight Scenes" that the three acquaintances before all existed, which will not shock Gao Chuan at all.
