"Today is the last day."
Endo room.Hearing Shimada's description of last night's experience, Endo, who was in front of him, reminded him in an extremely calm tone."
What?"
Hearing Endo's words, the expression on Shimada's face was a little stunned.But soon he reacted, and the expression on his face became even paler."
You mean ......" nodded, Endo looked at Shimada in front of him: "The other party climbed into your room and delivered the last suicide note, which means that today is the last day mentioned in the suicide note, and one of the two is destined to die." ”"No, I don't believe it."
Opposite, Endo elaborated everything in an almost indifferent voice.Shimada's face, however, was filled with excitement."
It's just a suicide note, maybe the other party is a perverted madman, just call the police and arrest him, why, why did I encounter such a thing."
Shimada is just an ordinary high school student, and in the face of life-and-death threats, the collapse is not too surprising.In the "......" room, Endo watched all this indifferently.He looked at Shimada, who was covering his head and looking desperate, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Tuk Tuk - "Shimada-kun, have your phone." ”However, just when Shimada was on the verge of despair, there was a knock on the door of Endo's mother from outside the room.Pushing open the door, she looked at Shimada with a desperate face and Endo who was watching coldly from the side, and her face couldn't help but show a stunned expression.After being disturbed by Endo's mother, Shimada did not collapse after all.He breathed heavily, suppressing his chaotic emotions before he looked at Endo's mother outside the door and asked with a pale smile."
Whose phone is it, Mother Endo?""
It's not clear."
Seeing that Endo's mood gradually stabilized, the worry on Endo's mother's face was a little less, and she shook her head and replied."
In short, the other party named and said that he was looking for you, it should be someone who knows you well, maybe it's your family."
Hearing Endo's mother's answer, Shimada went downstairs with some doubts in his heart."
Hey, I'm ......
Shimada" came to the phone, and he took a deep breath before reaching out to pick up the microphone."
Run!"
However, as Shimada picked up the phone, a hurried voice came from the microphone."
The person you see is not the real Endo!"......
"Officer Sakai, everything you want should be here." ”Horikawa High School.Bringing Sakai to an old library, the headmaster pointed to the books on the shelves and carefully explained."
This is the library that belongs to the old school building, after the construction of the new school building, the teacher in charge of sorting out most of the books moved to the library of the new school building, and the old school building is mostly some materials and books that have nothing to do with teaching or materials that have been eliminated, some of which are the only books left from the early days of the school, a few years ago when the school celebrated, the school was originally going to look for the history of Horikawa High School, but because of some accidents it was not completed, I just sorted them out and put them separately in the library of the old school building......
"In the library, while listening to the headmaster's introduction, Sakai's eyes swept over the books on the shelves that clearly had a historical atmosphere.Previously, from the "Kyoto Miscellaneous", he had noticed some unusual descriptions of Horikawa High School.It's just that the "Kyoto Miscellaneous" records the rumors and stories of the whole of Kyoto, and the content of Horikawa High School is only the female corpse.Sakai wanted more detailed information about Horikawa High School, so naturally he had to start with the school itself."
Thank you for your cooperation, Mr.
Headmaster."
Nodding his head and saying a word to the headmaster on the side, Sakai immediately withdrew his gaze and put it back on the books in the library."
So, Officer Sakai, if it weren't for me, could you allow me to leave first, and I still need to report to the school board of directors about what happened at Horikawa High School."
Looking at Sakai, who was looking through the books by himself in front of him, the principal gritted his teeth and said after hesitating for a moment.Something so big happened at Horikawa High School that he naturally needed to report it to the board of directors.In the face of the principal's request, Sakai did not answer, but nodded his head as acquiescing to his request."
Then please, Officer Sakai."
Relieved by the permission, the headmaster bowed to Sakai in the library and thanked him before leaving the old school building in a hurry.Inside the library, with the headmaster leaving.The entire library of the old school building fell silent again.In this silent library, Sakai looked intently at the books in his hands.Although the principal mentioned that most of the materials had been moved to the library of the new school building, there were still many books left in the old school building, and if it weren't for the school anniversary, the school would have sorted them out in advance, and Sakai alone wanted to find useful information from these books for the investigation, and it would be to find a needle in a haystack.Flip through the pages of the book in your hand and look at what is written on them.Soon, Sakai found some useful information from him.According to the book in his hand, "Horikawa Ancient Records", it is mentioned that since ancient times, Horikawa seems to have prevailed in this area, and the earliest strange talk about Horikawa was in the Edo period, it is said that Horikawa at that time because of the relationship between ghosts and ghosts, there were often many murders, and the people who lived here at that time were very uneasy, so they pooled money to invite an onmyoji to deal with it, and after the onmyoji eliminated the ghosts, Horikawa's ghosts and monsters gradually dispersed.Regarding the murder of the ghost murder, for historical reasons, Sakai can't tell if it was really all the work of the ghost or if someone pretended to be a ghost after the killing.However, it can be seen from the "Horikawa Koki" that Horikawa has been special since the Edo period.Perhaps, those onmyoji eliminated the ghosts of the time, or maybe the ghosts disappeared without a trace for some reason.But, again, for unknown reasons, now they are back again.Closing the "Horikawa Koki" in his hand, Sakai began to look for the contents of the next book non-stop.The books and materials compiled by Horikawa High School are very miscellaneous, and not all of them are useful for Sakai's investigation, but after reading several useless materials, he finally saw a few records of Horikawa High School in a book called "School History".
