CHAPTER XVI

The gift box is not filled with human heads or hands.

It's a sweater.

Woven from human hair.

"This prisoner is really ...... Bad taste...... Is that the only thing in that box?"

The president asked softly with his hand against his chin.

I looked into the box again.

"And a letter."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A follow-up to the previous challenge? ”

The president muttered quietly.

It should be as the president said, because all the things that were written in the challenge letter have happened so far.

"Ah, give."

I put my sweater aside, took out the challenge, and handed it to the president.

The president opened the folded paper and began to read.

"Challenge Book Ver.2

The curse of Zuolu's first high school leads the birth of evil spirits,

The withered yellow flowers hide the fragments of broken floor-to-ceiling mirrors,

On the bloody magic array, six heads,

No one can leave this place until the curse is complete!

If you don't want to die all, stop me from seeing it!"

After listening to the president's reading, I was suddenly shocked.

No one...... It's okay to get out of here......

Could it be ......

I ran to the window again.

The school gate was blocked by day students trying to go home - trapped in the school.

Hey...... It's not good, what the Minister of the Eighteenth Prohibition said that the prisoners are not human beings may be true......

If the other party's purpose is to use the magic array to summon the devil, then acting according to the routine of the four curses is completely thwarting the implementation of his plan. If a corpse appears and the police are summoned, the students will be temporarily suspended, and even if they can gather enough sacrifices through the police, the number of living sacrifices will not be enough.

So...... Now we're all locked up in the school, using magic that we don't know.

Again, the key is ...... Why did the other party disguise his actions as the four curses? As the minister said, if the other party is not human, it should be easy to kill enough six people, why use this awkward way to kill people slowly......

Speaking of which, the living sacrifice ...... The sacrifices of the living sacrifices should all be in the magic circle...... How do the prisoners gather the students in the magic circle......

Yes! It's easy to create an event that students can watch inside the magic circle as it is now, and this morning......

"You don't want to...... All dead? ”

Bai Yue leaned against the wall and said puzzled.

"It's as if the prisoner doesn't want others to die."

That's right, Bai Yue is right.

It's not human, and the guy who wants to summon the devil follows the pattern of the four curses, and the two points of sending a challenge book to the student council are incredible.

It's like two people......

Huh? Two people?

Split personality? No, non-human...... Probably a youkai, can it be a split personality?

Speaking of youkai, can you think ...... Possession, upper body, etc. But isn't it the consciousness of resistance of the object of possession.,It's like a monster to send a challenge to the student union?

No, although there are some students who know that the father of the president of the student union is in the mixed society, and it is effective to call the police in the eyes of ordinary students, but before the incident, it may not be successful, and the mixed society is generally the kind of guy who accounts for a little bit of everything, so sending a challenge to the student union is the only way that students who still have residual consciousness can think of.

However, these are assumptions based on the assumption that the prisoner is a youkai and that the youkai will possess it.

Who knows what that monster is like?,What do you think?-_-#

…… Huh?

There seems to be such a person next to me......

"I said, Minister, will you come with me?"

I patted the minister on the shoulder.

When the minister saw my serious expression, Bacheng also understood what I meant, nodded, and walked with me outside the radio room.

"What are you two going to do......"

Su Haotian half-clasped his eyes and asked unexpectedly.

I turned my headβ€”

"Dating, do you believe it?"

Nani !! Yes!!! Su Chen, you traitor!! Didn't you say that you were going to get rid of it together! You're the first to get there! Soak up the minister!! ”

I don't remember promising you such outrageous things......

And I don't understand what your brain circuits look like......

The others naturally ignored Su Haotian, who was messy in place.

The minister and I went upstairs to the student council room.

At this time, the student council room was empty.

"Minister, can you tell me a little bit more about your speculation about the prisoner?"

I said it bluntly.

The minister sighed, raised his hand and flicked his bangs, which looked a little out of strength, I don't know if it was because he saw the hair sweater.

"As I said, the prisoner may be the vanished hill itself."

As he spoke, the minister paused.

"What I have said below is my conjecture based on everything that has happened up to this point, and I cannot say for sure what the truth is...... Let's call that the mountain demon, the mountain demon can control the mountain that is his main body...... This is probably the reason why the hill has become flat...... Of course, this is just my guess. The mountain demon can't act alone, it must rely on the human body, but ordinary people can't withstand the possession of the mountain demon, and it will festered and die after a long time. In other words, every once in a while, the mountain demon will change to a possessed object. Not only will the dependent be controlled by the mountain demon, but the mountain demon will also be affected by the dependent person. ”

Although the amount of information is slightly larger, I still basically understand it.

It's basically similar to my guess.

The prisoner, that is, the monster, the reason why the mountain demon sent a challenge letter to the student council was because of the influence of the guy who was put on the body.

And what they want to send is supposed to be a distress letter, but they are also affected by the mountain demon, and under the intervention of each other, it has become what it is now.

If you think about it this way, the mountain demon will act according to the legend of the four curses, which should be the reason. Since it is such a famous legend, it is not surprising that some people in the school know about it.

"It's easy for the mountain demon to kill enough six people, and I guess the mountain demon has begun to act according to the four curses under the influence of the retainers...... Although I don't know exactly what the process is, this result can give us time to find out and exorcise the mountain demon. ”

Cure ...... Is it ......

"The intention of the mountain demon may be to summon a powerful demonic body that can be used by him at his disposal and that will not decay. For that, the summoning spell would have required the entire school to be sacrificed alive...... That's why you don't let the students leave...... Because tomorrow is Sunday...... But since the mountain demon has done this, it is estimated that he will gather all the sacrifices needed to summon the devil today...... However, if it is to be sacrificed alive, the sacrifice of the living sacrifice must also stand in the magic array, so what does the mountain demon want to do......"

It seemed that the minister, who had fallen into thought for a moment, immediately came back to his senses.

"Su Chen, you must know that it is very easy for the mountain demon to kill us, and it is not so difficult for us to kill him. My guess is that what the mountain demon needs to change the possessed object is skin-to-skin contact...... So if you want to kill the mountain demon, you just need to kill the person he is possessing without touching the other party...... Or, don't give him a chance to change the object of the possession, let him festered and die. ”

The Minister of the Eighteenth Prohibition said, with a confused expression on his face.

"The question is, how do you determine who is possessed by the mountain demon, and how do you tell everyone to kill that person...... No, 'killing' is the problem......"

If, if that's the case, let's say that since the magic array was drawn last night, the mountain demon has been attached to the body of four people...... The next two curses, if he uses them until dusk, need one person, and kill one more person according to the remaining two curses, if the strange event occurs in the center of the magic circle. Six corpses were all together, and the students were basically standing on the sports field, and even if there were many students who were not on the sports field, they were youkai......

I'm afraid that the sweater in the gift box is also made from the hair of people who have been possessed before. In order to make us realize that he is not joking, in order to make us realize the seriousness of the incident. And the matter of making a sweater out of hair, I don't know if there are any ingredients to exercise his ability to control the human body.

It is estimated that even if someone really fell from the sky on the playground, it should be the corpse of someone who had used it before.

Floor-to-ceiling mirrors at dusk transport one into the underworld.

So the most optimistic guess is that the prisoners will use the magic circle at dusk.

That is, we still have an afternoon to spare. Before dusk, find out the man possessed by the mountain demon among the more than 3,600 people.

Then follow the exorcism method given by the minister.

Kill them without touching them.

At this time......

Naturally, they had to kill that person, even if the others didn't know what was going on, and people who didn't know magic didn't know why they did it.

It is not right to exchange the lives of up to six people for the lives of more than 3,000 people - it could not be more cost-effective.

In an instant, I was frightened by the terrifying thought in my heart.

Although when I think about it, my heart is definitely not happy. I am...... Very calm...... Thinking like this weakly......

But......

No, the first priority is to find the object of the mountain demon's possession first.

I thought to myself and took the minister back to the radio room.

And Mickey and Lu Tong, as well as Luo Ling, who vomited, all returned.

Mickey and Lu Tong, expressionless-

Looks like they're ...... over there It's a hassle......
