Thanks to the organizer's announcement and Makoto Kyushu's repeated reminders, the contestants of Xiushen Academy dismissed the idea of going out for dinner, and after a simple dinner at the hotel restaurant, they planned to wash up and go to bed.

"Oops, the water is gone."

A boy came back from a shower and just wanted to drink water, but found that the mineral water bottles on the table had been taken away.

According to Kyushu Cheng's instructions, the boys have been drinking bottled mineral water these days, and every day the discarded mineral water bottles alone can be piled up into a small mountain.

"Speaking of which, we haven't bought water today." The head of the kendo department also picked up the mineral water bottle he had drunk, and the water in it had bottomed out.

"I'll buy it for you." Seeing this, Kyushu Makoto slowly stood up.

"I'm really sorry, I have to trouble Kyushu classmates again." The boys all seemed very polite.

"It's okay, I happened to go to the convenience store on the next street, do you want me to bring anything else?" Makoto Kyushu asked again.

"Senior, I want Dr. C'thulu's Fukuoka limited soft drink! Shigetaro was the first to raise his hand and shouted.

"Kyushu-san, please bring back two eel rice balls."

"Please help me buy a pack of mentaiko-flavored potato chips!"

"I want to drink hot milk, please Kyushu-san!"

“.”

Makoto Kyushu wrote a list with a memo on his mobile phone, and then went out.

Walking through the quiet night street, he went to the convenience store to buy two plastic bags full of drinks and snacks, and then planned to hurry back.

As he left the convenience store, Makoto Kyushu caught a glimpse of a man in a hoodie sitting in the dining area in the corner, looking to be between twenty and thirty years old.

The man's behavior was a little suspicious, sitting alone in the convenience store at night to pass the time, looking at his phone from time to time, but his eyes were looking out the window more.

Thinking of the recent attack on the player, Kyushu Makoto's heart was bad for a while. But this hooded man just sat there without any suspicious signs, and it was not easy for Makoto Kyushu to go up and find fault.

"Forget it. Hopefully, it's too much. He sighed and quickly returned to the hotel.

Makoto Kyushu distributed the things to the boys, and the kendo minister took the invoice again, planning to help him reimburse him when he returned.

After eating, drinking, and chatting for a while, the boys were tired and went to bed one after another.

Although this Jade Dragon Banner Tournament was not very peaceful, everything was going smoothly for Xiushen Academy, at least they did not encounter any danger.

As long as you survive tonight, tomorrow will be the last day of the Jade Dragon Flag Competition, and when the dust settles, everyone will no longer have to worry so much.

But if it's true that someone wants to win the championship by attacking foreign players, will they attack all the other finalists before tomorrow?

Thinking so, Kyushu Makoto checked the doors and windows and the anti-theft chains, and closed all the curtains, and then planned to go to bed.

【Jingle Bell——! 】

His mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was Nan Hehui calling.

Makoto Kyushu went to the corner of the room, picked up the phone and turned down the volume so as not to disturb the rest of the students.

[Your Excellency Kyushu, I'm sorry to disturb you so late.] The other party's tone was very hurried.

"What's the matter, is there something urgent?" Kyushu asked.

[You should have seen the announcement made by the organizer, right? ] Minami and Hui Road.

"I saw it, the organizers are quite good at avoiding the important and light~" Kyushu Cheng grinned: "Such a serious accident was actually called an "unpleasant incident" by them. ”

[I'm sorry, but this is already the best effort that my master and I have done.] Nan Hehui replied: [The organizers also don't want to create meaningless panic and make the game unable to continue. 】

"Then you suddenly came to me in the middle of the night, don't you say?" Kyushu Cheng paused, feeling bad: "There is a new case happening?" ”

[Yes, you guessed it right. Minami Kazuki admitted:

[To be honest, I'd rather all my previous doubts be wrong.] But as expected, another player has suffered an accident tonight, and it is the team that will participate in the final tomorrow. 】

Nan Hehui paused: [Wait a minute, I'll send you a message.] This is a statistical report I wrote hand-written based on what I heard. 】

After a while, a document popped up in Kyushu Cheng's mobile phone, with a lot of photos attached:

"During this Jade Dragon Banner Competition, there were many incidents of attacks on players, which can be roughly divided into two groups."

"On the day before and on the first day of the auditions, there were a total of 12 player accidents."

"Otenbori High School's main player Taiga Kaito was attacked by unknown gangsters while running at night, and was hospitalized by blunt blows to the brain; Suruga Koshida and Nishimotozawa, the starters of Seikakuk High School, developed symptoms of food poisoning after dinner and were suspected of eating suspicious 'local snacks' at a roadside stall, but no conclusive evidence could be found because the stall owner had disappeared without a trace.

Kyushu Cheng's gaze became more and more solemn, and he continued to look down:

"On the second day of the audition (today), there have been a total of 10 player accidents so far."

"Two of the starters at Rehororo High School were shot in the thighs with arrows with arrows by unknown individuals while they were out tonight. The murderer escaped and has not yet been caught."

"One of the starters at Enoshima High School was hit by a flower pot thrown from a high altitude while going out to eat, and he is currently being taken to the hospital."

"One of the starters at Kagoshima High School was attacked by an unknown person while going out alone, and is currently being sent to medical treatment."

"Two starters from Xiangbei Xia High School"

Looking at the lines of shocking words and the photos of the crime scene, Makoto Kyushu only felt his heart beating.

As Minami and Hui said, the fighters who were attacked today are all on the final list. In other words, today's barrage of attacks is clearly aimed at the finalists!

"These. It's all true? Makoto Kyushu asked.

[It's true, these are all first-hand information I obtained through the local intelligence network, plus as a "special guest", and I also went to the scene to see it. Nan Hehui said unwillingly:

[Damn! I thought that after the organizer made an announcement, the situation would improve! 】

"Cases are becoming more frequent." Makoto Kyushu said uneasily:

"If this series of events is really instigated, then the main messenger behind the scenes has obviously begun to be anxious and wants to deal with all the teams before the finals begin."

[However, the real murderer has not leaked any horses and feet yet, and I have not grasped any substantive evidence] Nan Hehui said helplessly:

[Even I myself began to waver, I still can't believe that my alma mater and hometown would actually do such an extreme act in order to win the Jade Dragon Banner Competition. 】

"It's going to be difficult for you to doubt your fellow countrymen and your alma mater where you once fought." Makoto Kyushu comforted:

"But I still have to thank you, I'll be careful tonight."

Listening to Minami Kazuki's tone, he could already be sure that this series of cases was inseparable from Fukuoka Okishima High School. But this is only speculation after all, and he can only rot this idea in his stomach.

If he chooses to call the police now, the police will definitely not want to believe and listen to his claims without evidence, let alone make a big deal about it.

Even if the police really go to investigate, if it is finally found that all this has nothing to do with Okishima High School, Nan Hehui will have to be charged with "spreading rumors", and he will be regarded as a traitor by his fellow villagers, and I am afraid that he will not be able to raise his head in his hometown for the rest of his life.

What's more, Nan Hehui loves his hometown and alma mater deeply, but now he wants him to stand on the opposite side for the sake of righteousness. Faced with such a choice, normal people will hesitate.

Makoto Kyushu understood Nan Hehui's distress and anxiety, but he couldn't help too much, and even the words that enlightened him were so pale and weak.

[There are still six finalists who have not suffered an accident, including Fukuoka Okishima High School and your Hideki Academy.] Nan and Hui sighed and continued:

[I'm trying to contact all the teams that haven't been killed yet, and tell them to stay safe, including you. That's all I can do. 】

[Please be sure to protect your classmates, if Okishima High School really intends to win the championship by such a despicable means, then I will stop them no matter what!] 】

"You've said this more than once, and I know your determination to help if you need it."

The two chatted a few more words and hung up the phone, Kyushu Makoto glanced at the room where the lights had been turned off, picked up an umbrella from the corner, and his eyes became sharp.
