ACT.23 The "Past" Solution
"You had a lot of sleepless last night?" Hoshino asked, looking at the newspaper in his hand.
"Sort of." Inukai hit a hache, and sleepiness kept coming.
"Does it have anything to do with coming home late last night?"
"A little bit...... Inukai scratched his head, "Daddy, how did you manage to be so observant?" ”
"Just experience, look at the details, plus some reasonable speculation." Hoshino Ichiro put down the newspaper in his hand, "Speculate boldly and verify carefully." ”
"Speculate boldly, and be careful to verify?" Inukai repeated it, and felt like he could give it a try.
Ueki, who is far away on the island of Kyushu, is nesting in the library at the moment
If he hadn't had a computer at home, he wouldn't have been able to stay at home a long time ago. For him, the perennial top student in the first grade, the teachers at the school are still very tolerant.
"Ueki-san, although this may not be appropriate for me to say, you had better abide by the classroom discipline." At this moment, a voice sounded behind Ueki, "Children who skip school are not very lucky. ”
"Yagi-san, you seem to be skipping class too." Ueki closes the document.
"I'm here to help the library manager sort out the materials, and the school has been getting a lot of journals lately." Yagi thought for a moment and said very seriously, "It's not an unexcused absence. ”
"Oh." Ueki put away the materials and notebooks on the table and changed places.
Yuki Yagi looked at Ueki in front of him, thought for a while, and sat down opposite Ueki.
"Doesn't Yagi-san have a job?" Ueki frowned.
This kind of stalker, no matter what time it is, is very annoying.
"Just curious, last night." Yagi suddenly took out a photo, "What the hell is following Ueki-san's back?" ”
Ueki's eyes are fixed on the photo, and the photo is of himself and the paper man, running away and chasing.
The paper figure was slow and didn't have much time to shake it off on her own, and Yuki Yagi had this photo in her hand to show that she was nearby at the time. Thinking of the Yagi family's ability to use Shikigami spells, Ueki thinks that she was the one who ambushed him last night!
"Should I call you Yagi-san, Ms. Yagi, or should I call you Agent Yagi?" Phyki asks a key question directly.
Although his memory of his high school is relatively vague, his memory of Yuki Yagi is still relatively clear, after all, he works in the same system, and he can be regarded as a colleague. In my memory, Yuki Yagi's high school career was normal.
His judgment was that Yuki Yagi, like him, came in from the outside. As for the reason, guess.
"Agent Yagi, I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here." Yuki Yagi stretched, "It's been two years since I came in, and I still can't find a way out. But last night, thanks to you, there was a little bit of progress. ”
"The spell?" Ueki immediately thought of the scene from last night.
"It's not just the spell, it's your presence." Yagi stared at Ueki's face and said, "The space inside this staircase is a cycle, seven days is a cycle, everything will be reset after seven days, but the memories of outsiders will not. ”
"What are you trying to express?" Ueki frowned and said, "In seven days, there is not much we can do. Moreover, this time the incident is very large, and the officer on duty will be there soon, so it is better to stick to it and wait for help than to die in these seven days. ”
He had thought that even if the staircase matter was troublesome, at least there would be a solution, but now ......
"Can you have a little ambition, this is a big event, after solving it, maybe you can become a first-level investigator, and it is not impossible to be promoted to duty officer in the future!"
"Then you can toss it slowly." Ueki hit a hache. Although he wanted to know what Yagi had discovered, Yagi in front of him had no intention of sharing information with him for free. In this case, if you put it in the right place, you will get the information to you for free.
"I ......" Yuki Yagi looked at Ueki in front of him with a rotten face, a little embarrassed. Is this guy really his colleague? Why do you have such a colleague who fishes!
"Everything here is false, only the people who come in are real." Yuki Yagi said, "If you don't want to be trapped in this false world forever......
"There's nothing wrong with being trapped here." Ueki hit a hache, "Humans are creatures who like to remember the past, and I am no exception. If you can stay in the past, it's actually ......."
"Enough is enough!" Yagi propped up the table and said, "There's still someone waiting for you outside!" ”
"That's because you've been in there for a long time, and when I've stayed enough, I'll come back to you to cooperate." Ueki hit a hache.
"Just find the person in this world who is between the real and the false, and the world will be cracked." Yuki Yagi said, "That person is the incarnation of the past, corresponding to the warlock of the outside world!" ”
"Oh." Ueki snorted a hache, "Then you must not know that destroying a warlock requires a special crossbow arrow, and ordinary attacks are basically ineffective against it, but will make him seize the opportunity and kill you." ”
Yagi was stunned, about this, the spirit in the broken bowl didn't say anything at all. Her face turned white, then blue, then black again, and she was now figuring out how to smash the broken bowl.
Ueki looked at Yagi, whose face was changing rapidly, and was also stunned, this woman has been here for so long, she won't even know this bit of information! So what is she doing here? Is there a class?
Outside, time: two o'clock in the morning
Four leaves walked to the front of the stairs with a crossbow arrow, and at this moment the warlock was opposite him, and he didn't dodge when he saw him coming.
"The undead hovering the stairs?" Shiba wound the crossbow arrow and aimed it at the warlock in front of him, "If my guess is correct, you should be very nervous now." ”
The warlock didn't speak, he stood there like a clay sculpture carved from wood, and even though the crossbow would kill it in a second, he didn't retreat.
"Kill me, and the inner world will take a few people inside and die together." Just when the four leaves were about to run out of patience, the warlock finally spoke, and the voice seemed to be an elderly middle-aged woman.
"You're threatening me?" Four Leaves smiled and asked, "You think I'll be threatened by you?" Or do you think you didn't kill enough people before? ”
Warlock plus knight, the two ghost-level weirdness has already caused the death of more than a dozen police officers, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to sacrifice a few more places at this time. But the four leaves are on the trigger, and they can't hold it alive.
