Chapter 158 126. Isn’t this... against the rules? (Please order first when it’s on the shelves! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward!)
“That’s best, what about Kurosawa-san?”
Shiroki took a bunch of keys from Genji Takagi’s hand , pinned to his waist, he asked calmly, and at the same time, the sharp gaze from his eyes shocked Takagi, a middle-aged and fat man.
"That's the problem..."
Takagi looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak. He stretched out his hands from behind. Everyone saw that he was holding an old document bag. .
The document bag was very flat, but unusually flat. It looked as if it had been pressed down by something heavy and had been sealed for a long time. Generally speaking, it had not been taken out for a long time.
That being said... the disappearance of Kurosawa Suzumelon is indeed closely related to the predecessor of Richi University, Shanying University. However, judging from the flatness of the document bag, it can be seen that Takagi and others The attitude of the educators at Yingying University towards this disappearance case was extremely perfunctory.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Ming's eyes. It was not because of Kurosawa Mikka. In fact, the longer it was sealed, the more difficult it would be to complete the case entrusted by Kurosawa Mikka. Doesn't this just cause him trouble at work?
Kurosawa Mika also realized this, and her eyes when she looked at Takagi Genji were filled with coldness.
But... wait.
The expression on Li Ming's face became a little confused. The case that Kurosawa Mitsuka entrusted him with mentioned that Kurosawa Suiko disappeared when this school was called Ritsu University, and the one who was killed by Miss Sakurai and Officer Shiraki The evaporation case being investigated clearly happened when it was still called Shangying University.
Even if the two have an extremely close relationship, the timelines don’t match up. Why?
Soon Li Dang regained his composure. He realized that what he was thinking was just a brainstorm before seeing the document bag. The truth of the real incident should be in the document bag.
So now we just need to wait for Takagi to take out the documents from the document bag and tell everyone about the above doubts. Investigating a case still requires a lot of patience.
“What’s wrong?”
Bai Mu didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the people behind her, and asked in a calm tone, but she didn't reach out to pick up the document bag, as if she was wary of something.
"The problem lies here. I went back to the archives to look through the admission files of Kurosawa Mizumel, and then I found a big doubt..."
Takagi Genjiman He slowly untied the file bag, took out a thick stack of white paper, and then handed the top sheet to Shiraki, who was even more embarrassed.
“Kurosawa Mizumel’s enrollment year was four years ago, and I clearly remember the time of her disappearance two years ago, and in my impression Kurosawa-san took a leave of absence due to illness. The medical record notice she submitted to the instructor stated a It's an extremely rare disease, but I'm sorry that I can't remember the specifics..."
Takagi hesitated to speak, and he hesitated to tell his findings. The second half of the sentence made Hei, who was about to ask, Ze Mihua swallowed the words and continued to observe the situation.
"Because this disease is so rare, it is impossible for such an ancient and rare disease to appear with the current development of society. Therefore, our school is very impressed by this incident. For the sake of the safety of the school, we approved Xigua's treatment. Asking for leave.”
“The disappearance case happened naturally, and it took several days. After that, there was no news from Xigua classmate, as if he had disappeared from the world. Out of concern and care for the students, the instructor specifically contacted you Kurosawa Zaibatsu. After the two parties contacted, it was discovered that Xigua classmate had been missing for several days. "
Kurosawa licked his dry and cracked lips, his face looked a little ugly, and his hands that naturally hung down subconsciously clenched tightly.
Hoshino Katsura, who had not participated much in the chat, noticed Kurosawa's appearance, and gently released Jiang Wenkan's hand. While holding Kurosawa's arm, he gently stroked her back to comfort her tightness. emotions.
Li Dang also noticed the appearance of the girl next to him. His expression changed slightly, and he continued to hold the black umbrella and maintain the same image and posture, thinking in his mind how to investigate this difficult case next.
"Then what's the problem?" Shiraki crossed his hands and tapped his elbows with his fingers impatiently. "Did you talk nonsense for so long just to remind Miss Mikka Kurosawa of those bad memories? Can you tell me the key points? ?”
“Officer Baimu, don’t worry, you are investigating the disappearance case at Shangying University. Can you remember when the collective disappearance occurred?” Takagi replied.
"What happened two years ago today?"
After Bai Mu said this, she was about to continue scolding Takagi for his nonsense literature, but suddenly she reacted and her expression became more serious. It was ugly, so she subconsciously groped for the bulging foreign object on her waist.
"You mean... Miss Kurosawa Watermelon was also a victim of that mass disappearance?"
"Impossible!"
Kurosawa Mika was the first to object. Her tense emotions completely exploded at this moment, and her voice became louder, which attracted some students not far away to look here.
“I remember very clearly what you said. When the guide called to inform my father, he was taking leave because he was ill. Before he disappeared, he called me and said that he had gone to the hospital to see a doctor. It's just, it's just... I was busy with the chaebol media incident, so I didn't go to accompany him more, which led to this ending. "
"Wait, wait, let's figure it out first. Still not Do you understand what you are saying?" Jiang Wenkan held his chin and said thoughtfully, "What is the reason why Miss Kurosawa Watermelon disappeared?" He asked for leave and went to the hospital due to a rare illness." Li Yan answered, leaning the black umbrella in his hand on his shoulder with a serious expression, "Then adhering to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, let's decide for the time being that what you two said is the truth. ”
"And when was the disappearance?" Jiang Wenkan quickly entered the state of the previous discussion between the two, and summarized the case using the most common question and answer.
"Principal Takagi was talking about two years ago." Li Ming said thoughtfully, "But I clearly remember that when Miss Kurosawa entrusted me, she was talking about her running away from home three or four years ago. When he said this, Li Dang glanced at Kurosawa who was at a loss, "Do you need me to repeat the original words?"
Li Dang took out a recording from his coat pocket. The pen, after proper debugging, pressed the key.
"Well, my sister Kurosawa Watermelon ran away from home three or four years ago. I thought she would be able to go home in a few months because she had done this kind of thing before. , ran away from home and even spent all her savings before returning home, so we didn’t find her back in time."
"But this time is different. This time she ran away from home for three or four years. It was only the second year after Xigua left home that we realized something was wrong, and we immediately used the power of the chaebol and the I tried to help the detectives claim to have strong search capabilities, but all ended in vain."
"Now the real question lies here, why did Kurosawa change your words after a few hours?"
Li Ming looked at the cheongsam girl beside him with a playful look on his face, even though he really He didn't believe that Kurosawa would use such a method to tease him, but that was the fact. The two reasons were completely different and there was really no way for people to ignore them.
"Strange...did I say that? Why..." Kurosawa Mika has been in a trance since hearing the recording, "Why do I have no impression?"
"No impression? Strange."
Li Ming glanced at Takagi who was staring at them and said to himself. He had a strange premonition about the reason why Kurosawa changed his story a few hours later. It may have something to do with Takagi, or the entire Richi University.
After all, strange diseases like White Night Syndrome have appeared in this world, and such weird reasons cannot be ruled out.
“Forget it, don’t think about it for now, let’s move on to the next link.” Li Dang interrupted Jiang Wenkan who wanted to continue asking, and looked at Takagi who was doing waiting work aside, “Principal Takagi, Can I take a look at the files you have compiled? "
"This... is not good. This is an important file that has been sealed in the archives of Liji University for a long time. It would be against the rules to show it to outsiders. ." Takagi stopped talking.
"Where does all this nonsense come from."
Shiraimu stretched out his hand from his pocket and snatched a thick stack of white paper from his hand.
"There are no outsiders. Didn't I tell you? They are all assistants I brought to investigate the case. You must treat them the same way you treat me. Do you understand?" Bai Mu handed the white paper to Li Ming.
“And Principal Takagi, you don’t want the school you run to continue to be in the shadow of major accidents, right? Provide us with enough help, and we can quickly solve the case and let Riichi University resume its normal course. It should be the style of the university."
Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but laugh, but he quickly stopped smiling. Fortunately, no one noticed his disrespectful behavior.
This is the first time I have heard of Japanese police and private detectives cooperating. Isn’t Officer Shiraki Rinne afraid that he will lose the face of Japan’s fine imitations?
However, these words can only be buried in the heart and cannot be spoken out. This is the most basic respect for Li Dian. Even if the other party is really a well-known waste, basic respect between people is still needed. of.
Taking the stack of white paper, Li Ming felt a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling at that moment, as if an electric current was instantly flowing through his body and then through his brain.
Suddenly feeling this way, Li Ming looked around subconsciously, wanting to see if anyone around him had seen him.
At this time, Li Dang noticed that Kurosawa next to him was in the same situation as him. Compared to his own electric current flowing through his body, Kurosawa's was more like a chill. trembling.
The sudden illusion made Li Yan a little overwhelmed, but then he paid more attention to the stack of white paper in his hand -
"The secret must be buried in in".
"Kurosawa Xigua, enrolled in January 2019, majoring in "Chinese Language and Culture", oh..." When he saw this, Li Ming raised his eyebrows and continued reading, "It's important. According to the incident record book, Kurosawa Watermelon asked for leave to go home due to physical illness on January 12, 2021. The leave lasted for one week. "
"The leave request slip is on the back of this file. "Takagi interrupted abruptly.
"You guys are quite thoughtful. "Li Ming nodded in agreement, and then handed a small note on the back to the cheongsam girl next to him, "Kurosawa, can you see it's your sister's handwriting? "
"Yes..."
Seeing things and thinking about emotions, Kurosawa couldn't stop his tears after seeing this piece of paper, and burst out across his cheeks.
"Well, very good."
Li Mang turned the page over and continued to ponder the words above: "During the week of leave, the instructor contacted him many times and responded, but on the eighth day , Kurosawa Watermelon’s classmate did not return as promised The school counselor contacted his parents and found out that the situation had escalated. For the sake of school ethics, the school did not continue to follow up..."
"Oh, you really think about the overall situation," Bai Mu said sarcastically. mockingly.
"There is nothing we can do about it. We have already notified the police... I never imagined that the police would take so long... Ahem..." Takagi quickly realized that the Baimu in front of him was exactly what he said. The member of the identity group in question immediately shut up and coughed softly to cover up his embarrassment.
"What do these white papers at the back record?" Li Ming handed the Kurosawa Watermelon admission file that he had read to Kurosawa Mihua, and tapped the surface of the paper with two fingers, making a swishing sound. Look at Principal Takagi Genji.
"That, that is a detailed description of the major disappearance case two years ago." Takagi quickly explained, "The one we have is a copy of the file in the Metropolitan Police Archives, which is used as a record of the sealed incident file."< br>
“That’s right.”
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, then folded the white paper in his hand into small squares and put them into his coat pocket.
"Since it's a copy of the file, I'll take it away first. Principal Takagi won't mind, right?"
"This, this...isn't it against the rules?"
Things happened so fast. Principal Takagi watched helplessly as Li Hao put important information into his pocket, but he couldn't stop him immediately because of his identity. After all, as a principal, if he established a policy for the students in the school, A bad image is bad.
"Mr. Li Ming?"
Bai Mu also looked confused, she tilted her head tentatively and asked.
"I said, I am also a professional investigating cases. This thing is just a copy. If your school wants to get it back, why don't you ask the Metropolitan Police Department for a copy? Are you okay?"
Li Ming held the black umbrella and took a step back. His sudden behavior made everyone present feel at a loss.
"Principal Takagi, you also know that if this kind of case cannot be solved smoothly, it will affect your university's admission rate and enrollment rate, so solving the case as much as possible is the only way out and the only route now. This also has What's against the rules? "
"That's true, but... Officer Baimu is here... This kind of thing should be handed over to Officer Baimu." Takagi seemed a little shaken.
"Don't you understand yet? You just said it yourself, this thing was copied from the Metropolitan Police Department's file. Officer Shiraki already has this record in his hand. You can give it to her. Isn't it unnecessary?" Li Yan pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you want to use these things in vain? Give her the paper to make a draft? I think our police officer Shiraki is not that poor."
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Bai Mu looked a little pale on the side, she sighed, and compromised helplessly.
"But you have to remember that this kind of thing cannot be spread outside, cannot cause great panic to society, cannot affect social order and security, etc. If you can abide by the above agreement, I will turn a blind eye this time One eye."
"That's natural. I'm very clear about this kind of thing. After all, this is my professional training." Li Ming said with a playful smile. Then the conversation changed.
"Then Principal Takagi, if there is nothing else, please leave first. After we investigate the clues of the incident, we will naturally leave silently and will not affect the study and examination of students in the school. , You can rest assured about this."
"Ah..." Takagi was a little at a loss. He stared at Baimu in fear, and then left in anger when he saw the girl nodding.
"Can you tell me what you found now? You are so anxious to let Takagi leave. With my more than 20 years of friendship with you, you must have discovered something, right?" Jiang Wenkan watched the obese man go. The departing figure suddenly laughed and asked softly.
"What did you find?"
Facing the questions between the two people, Bai Mu seemed a little at a loss. From her perspective, Li Ming had always been a person with a weird and changeable temper.
So what happened just now, she could only choose to compromise instead of taking immediate action to prohibit him from doing this.
"Ah? Can you stop talking to people? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to use code words that only the two of you know." Hoshino Katsura also had the same expression and tone, scolding .
"It's not a very secret discovery. Ever since I saw this dossier, I discovered something was wrong." Li Ming rubbed his hands and did not fold the white paper he had just folded into small squares. He took out the paper and said, "I remember you said before that today is the day when all the students at Yingying University disappeared."
"That's right. Two years ago today, everyone at Shangying University disappeared overnight. Along with a series of staff such as the sweepers, cleaners, chefs, security guards, etc., all disappeared, as if they had disappeared from the world. , there are still half-eaten ramen placed in the cafeteria on campus."
Shiroki crossed his hands and nodded thoughtfully.
"Then what new discoveries are there? Let me tell you, I have heard about your reputation, Mr. Li Ming, from Mr. Yuan Qingyu. You are a private detective temporarily living in Japan. , just relying on his own connections and super reasoning ability, only It took less than three years to establish a foothold in Japan.”
“Don’t be so exaggerated. I am still just a little detective who handles cases of missing cats and dogs and catches rapes. I am not as good as Shiraki. Officer." Li Ming raised his eyebrows and responded with compliments.
"That is also a relatively good achievement. As far as I know, foreigners who can gain a foothold in Japan will take at least five or six years to fully adapt to the situation here..." Shiraki paused. , looked at Jiang Wenkan, "And you, Mr. Jiang, you are also hiding your secrets. Although you have been working in a gray area, your investigative capabilities are even inferior to mine."
"Don't blame us, we are just a little detective and his little partner." Jiang Wenkan chuckled, raised the fingers of his right hand and brought it close to his mouth.
“If I remember correctly, today is January 19, 2023. Pushing the time forward two years, it will be January 19, 2021, which is on this day. The disappearance of all members happened without warning. "
"Don't talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point," Bai Mu said, crossing his hands.
"This is not nonsense, this is one of the key points in my discovery." Li Dang stretched out his right index finger and waved it, "And just now in the file record of Blackpool Watermelon, Watermelon's leave time It’s January 12th, 2021.”
Li Ming paused here, as if waiting for everyone’s reaction.
Jiang Wenkan quickly realized something, and loudly revealed his findings in a high voice.
“I understand. After Xigua’s leave, she was supposed to return to school on January 19, 2021. However, a case of disappearance of all members occurred on that day. The conductor responded when contacted, so it is certain that she disappeared on the 19th."
"That is true, but this situation must be based on this file. Under the premise that it is true." Li Dang glanced at Bai Mu.
"The dossier is absolutely true. I can use my police rank as a guarantee. This is definitely a historical fact." Bai Mu came to his senses and responded quickly.
"Since Officer Shiraki said this, we can only believe it temporarily." Li Ming raised his eyebrows, "Then the next question is about Miss Kurosawa's memory deviation. I There was absolutely no fraud in the recorder, but why did Miss Kurosawa’s memory show serious differences when she came here a few hours later?”
"It's harmless, right? In the end, the Kurosawa watermelon disappeared, and we just need to find the missing watermelon." Hoshino Katsura was puzzled, "Oh, by the way, of course there are also the missing students, the sweeping aunt, the cleaning janitor, etc. ”
“This is not the case. It is precisely this point that makes people unable to understand. If Miss Kurosawa’s two memories Basically the same, except for some small details, which I can completely ignore, but...even the time has gone wrong, which makes people have to doubt that this ghost place must be hiding some secrets. "
"So you mean, there are still secrets behind Liji University?" Bai Mu thought thoughtfully.
"Otherwise, how can we explain our Miss Kurosawa's memory problem? Miss Kurosawa is not that stupid or a goldfish with a seven-second memory. After all, she is the heir to the Kurosawa Zaibatsu. , there is no way it would be so low A huge mistake." Li Ming took a deep breath, "The Kurosawa Zaibatsu would not leave the identity of the heir to a fool."
"What do you mean?" Kurosawa said angrily. Are you calling me a fool?”
"Everyone, please watch out. I didn't say anything just now. It was Miss Kurosawa who came up to take the seat herself. She has nothing to do with me." Li Dao held the black umbrella with his shoulders, raised his hands high, and joked. smiling.
"Okay, let's not talk about these irrelevant topics now. Now that Mr. Li Ming has found the key point of the problem, we now have the keys to the missing classes. It is best to investigate as soon as possible. The right decision, right?" Bai Mu interrupted the two's flirting and made some lubricant.
"That's right. Officer Baimu is right. Since we have the key with us, we should hurry up and investigate." Li Ming nodded vigorously, "If there is a problem with this school, Principal Takagi should also If I can't get rid of it, I will I'm afraid that he will destroy some important clues, so I'd better go investigate as soon as possible."
A few people looked at each other and agreed to Li Ming and Bai Mu's proposal. After searching the map, they went straight towards it. The missing class walked away.
Not far away, a student looked towards us with a confused look on his face, and then disappeared. Passers-by and students walked past the student's location wantonly. , there was no emotion on his face, as if he had just passed through a thick fog.
...
When we arrived at the designated classroom, the door number hanging at the door revealed that this was Group A of juniors.
"The third-year classroom... This point echoes Kurosawa Watermelon. She entered school in 2019 and disappeared in 2021. Calculated, it is exactly At the beginning of his junior year, Li Ming stood in front of the door thoughtfully.
"Don't just hang around the door like a normal person. Since we have the designated search authority for the classroom, let's investigate quickly and find some tricky clues."
After hearing the sound, Li Dang turned around and saw that the white-eyed police officer in front of him had put on disposable medical gloves and a disposable mask. Coupled with the white coat, she looked more like a doctor than a police officer.
However, thinking about the information Hoshino Katsura found on the search engine before, "he has dabbled in various fields", it is normal to think this way.
Thinking of this, Li Ming closed his black umbrella, stood by the door, and began to observe all the furnishings in the classroom.
Like the classrooms in his impression, they were all composed of podiums, blackboards, tables and chairs. Unlike classrooms in his hometown, classrooms in Japan also had lockers on the side.
After looking around for a while, Li Dang gently closed the wooden door behind him. This was his instinct. When investigating cases, he always likes to look for clues from the corners. The corner behind the door There are often missing clues.
When he was catching an adulterer, although the room was cleaned very clean, Li Dang still found a dry paper towel with stiff and messy black hair in the corner. This confirmed that the client's wife and others were The fact of adultery.
To be honest, it was a really bad experience.
Li Dang shook his head, trying his best to get the bad memories out of his mind. But just by shaking his head, he felt as if he was hallucinating, and he actually saw a card with strange words written on it behind the door. White paper, but also mixed with dark red.
Looking closely, the text on the white paper is not ordinary Japanese characters, but hiragana, those scary characters written in long and thin fonts, coupled with dark red and black interweaving, Even more terrifying.
After reaching out and touching the white paper to make the four corners attached to the back of the door smoother, Li Yan decided to work hard to read.
At this moment, Li Ming felt that the colors around him began to darken, as if a page of paper was lit by flames, slowly eating away at a corner of the page.
Li Dang turned his head and looked in horror. The few people who were behind him had disappeared. Even the sky outside the window had changed from blue to dark gray. The clock hanging on the wall showed the current time and Date——
January 19, 2021.
What's going on...
Go back two years ago, to the day when the disappearance of all members occurred?
So...has the white dream started again?
Then the medium should be the white paper in front of him...
Li Ming tried his best to wake himself up. He rubbed his temples, pulled off the white paper originally posted on the back of the door, and continued in the classroom. The light inside identifies the text above.
"Shangying University Classroom Usage Rules"
"Hello, no matter what purpose you temporarily borrow this classroom for, please be sure to abide by the following rules. These rules will allow you to Spend your time better in this classroom."< br>
"First, it is best not to borrow this classroom after ten o'clock in the evening. If you must use it, please turn on all the lights and close the curtains during use to ensure that no one outside can see. to what you do in the classroom.”
"Two, there are a total of five light switches in the classroom, which are used for the front light of the podium, the front classroom light, the rear classroom light, the classroom front door light, and the classroom back door light."
"Three, please Be sure not to turn on the front lights of the podium, front door lights, and rear door lights before ten o'clock in the evening; Be sure to turn on all lights, except the podium headlight. If the classroom is still very dark after pressing the switch, please exit the classroom immediately."
"Four, if you accidentally turn on the podium headlight after ten o'clock. , please exit the classroom immediately and do not try to turn off the lights that have been turned on. Please Please exit the classroom immediately. "
"Fifth, if you press the wrong switch when turning on the lights, please exit the classroom immediately, stand in the corridor for one minute, and wait for the lights to turn off automatically before entering the classroom again. Just use it again, but please be careful not to press it twice in succession. "Sixth, if the lights in the classroom do not automatically turn off after standing for one minute, please leave the teaching building immediately; if you do not stand for one minute and witness the lights automatically turning off and enter the classroom again, please immediately Exit the classroom and leave this teaching building immediately."
Are these the rules?
Something feels wrong.
Li Deng struggled to identify the hiragana on it, and a strange cold feeling suddenly arose.
It seemed that he had returned to his previous radio program experience. This unknown fear once again enveloped his heart, making it difficult to calm down for a long time.
"Seven, if you borrow the classroom after ten o'clock, please be sure to leave before twelve o'clock, because the closing time of the dormitory is twelve o'clock. If there are important tasks that have not been completed, please move to the library 24-hour self-study room 》
"Eight, during self-study in the classroom, please close the curtains. If you find peanuts, soybeans, rice and other small foods on the windowsill, do not touch them. The previous owners of the classroom did not carry these items."
"Nine, if you fail to comply with Article 8, please exit the classroom and leave this teaching building immediately. "
"10. During the learning process, small animals in the school may visit you. In order to ensure the balance of the ecological environment, many animals are bred in the school, and there is a duck farm near the teaching building. If you hear someone banging on your window and making a squeaking sound, don't open the curtains and look outside. It’s a naughty prank of artificially bred ducks in the school.”
“Eleven, if you find strange hairs and rodent teeth on the window sill when you open the curtains, please don’t worry, this is the school. Breeding ducks, they will leave traces at any time to show their status in the school."
" 12. During the learning process in the classroom, a teacher may come to retrieve the forgotten teaching aids. At this time, please do your own thing seriously. Please do not stare at the visitor for a long time, even if he is sizing you up in front of you. Please Don't communicate with him, don't respond to him no matter what he says, he will leave on his own before long"
"Thirteen, don't lock the classroom door while studying because of the previous one. Don't lock the classroom door while studying because of the previous one. Don't lock the classroom door at any time."
"Fourteen, after eleven o'clock, people from the enforcement office will come to inspect the classrooms and schools. The people at the enforcement office are uniformly dressed in black. If you see someone, just explain your situation. If someone in other clothes enters the classroom, please leave the classroom as soon as possible when the other party checks, and don’t look back no matter what happens."
"Fifteen, if you are studying in the classroom , the knocking and squeaking sounds outside the window continue to sound, please turn on the front door light and the back door light immediately. The school's breeding ducks will be frightened by the light and driven to other places. They will leave here soon, please don't worry."
"Sixteen, if you turn on the front door lights and rear door lights, outside the rear window The sound has not disappeared, please exit the classroom immediately, please leave this teaching building immediately."
It can be seen that these rules seem to be hiding something, and they all revolve around the sounds of knocking on the windows and squeaking. The owner of the voice stated in the rules is an artificially bred duck in the school.
Li Ming subconsciously looked out the window. Although he could see the breeding farm hidden in the misty darkness, he could not see the stretched necks of the so-called "ducks".
The dark shadows moved like dark clouds, which was depressing.
Li Dang can be sure that those so-called artificially bred ducks are definitely not simple ducks. After all, seven or eight rules have been written about this issue. As the saying goes, there is no three hundred taels of silver here. It's not impossible.
The slender words in hiragana on the page gave Li Dang a strange illusion. Although he felt physically and mentally unwell, he still chose to continue reading. After all, it was related to his safety.
"Seventeen, if nothing happens, please leave the classroom on time based on the time on the mobile phone that the student carries with him or her. Remember to turn off the lights in the classroom manually before leaving. Do not hold the "lights don't work anyway" "It will turn off automatically", please be sure to turn off the lights in the classroom manually."
"Eighteen, please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom. Please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom. Please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom. Please refer to the clocks the students carry with them. The time on the phone shall prevail.”
Seeing this, Li Dang squinted his eyes and subconsciously glanced back at the direction of the wall in the classroom.
After counting in his mind, he found that there were six clocks in this classroom, and the times were different, and the styles were also different. They were ordinary mechanical clocks, dual-calendar mechanical clocks, and mechanical pendulum clocks. , pointer type quartz electronic watch, display type quartz electronic watch, and there is a small sundial on the balcony outside the window.
No, not six.
Li Ming walked quickly towards the podium, and after seeing clearly the foreign objects exposed in his sight, he determined the conclusion——
There are a total of seven clocks showing the time throughout the classroom.
In addition to the ones hanging on the wall and placed on the windowsill, there is also an electronic watch placed on the podium.
What is even more incomprehensible is that their times are different. The hour and minute hands point to different numbers, but the second hand still moves forward slowly and in an orderly manner, and the second hands of the seven clocks are all located at At the same position, the forward speed is exactly the same.
Li Dang scratched the hair on the back of his head in confusion, his face a little ugly. He clearly remembered that he did not see these clocks when he entered the classroom with Bai Mu and others.
What is going on?
Continuing to look at the white paper, the hiragana characters on it are slender and terrifying, like a sharp knife carving strange words on people's hearts, and then using the tip of the knife that still retains the body's warmth to pick up scars, which is frightening. .
"Nineteen, please do not refer to the time on the clock hanging in the classroom. If a misidentification event occurs, please be sure to leave the teaching building immediately when you realize that a problem has occurred."
"Twenty, if you hear the sound of moving hands and swinging pendulums that gradually increase in volume during your study, don't panic or shout. Please lie down on the table immediately. Zishang quickly fell asleep, he (crossed out) will not disturb the sleeping people."
"Twenty-one, there are no rules 20 and 22 in this classroom."
"Twenty-three, if you have violated some of the above rules, please immediately wear a mask and go to the infirmary at the bottom of the teaching building. The school doctor there will solve all your problems."
"Finally, I wish you can study efficiently in this classroom. I look forward to your progress and success in your studies."
The rules ended here. Li Ming narrowed his eyes with a complicated expression. , there is always something indescribably weird about the whole rules.
Wait, the time...
Li Ming took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the time on it clearly showed 9:55 pm.
Then according to the rules, all curtains should be drawn now, and then all lights should be turned on except the podium headlight.
To be honest, Li Ming was not willing to abide by these rules. It was simply because the environment he was in was unknown. Before he found the problem, he had better do what the rules required.
