Chapter 1182 The Tracker of Rumors (Cycling uphill every day is really tiring)

As a result, early the next morning, while everyone was having breakfast, before Qian Shu could find Duanmu Huai to explain the situation, another guest joined them.

"I've run into some trouble. Can I ask you for help?"

Nanami Yachiyo came here with obvious reluctance, but... Judging from her appearance, it seemed that there was nothing she could do.

"What happened?"

Duanmuhuai didn't mind, and the others were also curious. Under everyone's gaze, Huan Iroha next to Nanami Yachiyo explained her situation with some uneasiness.

It turned out that since yesterday afternoon, every hour, a piece of paper would fall from the sky and land in front of Huan Iroha. First it was 24, then 23, and 22. At that time, Huan Iroha felt a little uneasy and found Nanami. Yachiyo discussed it, but the latter had no idea about it and just told her to be careful.

As a result, when Iroha Tamaki woke up this morning...

"I just found so many pieces of paper next to my pillow..."

As he spoke, Huan Caiyu gingerly took out a stack of papers and placed them on the table.

"This is really......"

Seeing this scene, the other girls' expressions changed. Even Tomoe Asami and Akatsuki Homura's expressions became much tighter. Chishu looked like she had seen a horror movie and kept rubbing her. His arms seemed to have goosebumps all over his body.

"Is it that exaggerated? It's just a pile of pieces of paper with numbers written on it."

Duanmu Huai took the piece of paper and looked at it. It was a square piece of paper with Arabic numerals written on it. It didn't seem to be anything special.

"Hey? Aren't you scared, little Ai? As soon as you open your eyes, there are a bunch of pieces of paper coming from nowhere? Isn't this a curse?"

"You like to watch movies all day long, right?"

Duanmu Huai silently complained about Qian Shu, but everyone else seemed to empathize with Qian Shu's words and nodded.

Sure enough, I had no idea what the woman was thinking.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with this aspect.

Duanmuhuai changed the topic decisively.

"This looks like a countdown."

"Well, about once an hour."

“What happens when we get to zero?”

"...I don't know, but it feels like it's definitely not a good thing."

Needless to say, everyone has a similar premonition. At present, it is definitely a countdown, but what will happen when the countdown reaches zero?

no one knows.

"Hmm...what do you think?"

Duanmuhuai turned over the paper and looked at the others. Xiao Meiyan and Tomoe Mami shook their heads first.

"It doesn't feel like it was done by a witch. Witches generally don't do such strange things."

"It's a bit strange to say it's a devil's contract..."

Yugiri Ayano also frowned and stared at the piece of paper, puzzled.

"Huan-san, do you still remember what you did before?"

"Huh? I didn't do anything special?? I was just looking for clues about You as usual..."

"Anyway, let's talk about it first. Tell us everything that happened before you received that piece of paper for the first time yesterday, in detail, and see if we can find any clues."

"Ah, okay......"

Huan Caiyu nodded, then thought for a moment, and began to talk about her experience yesterday. Basically, she didn't do anything strange yesterday. At least, as Huan Caiyu said, she was just investigating rumors. , and also asked if anyone had seen You - to be honest, it was a bit of a waste of effort, but considering that parents who lost their children would also distribute flyers on the streets to look for their children, Iroha Tamaki's actions were not too outrageous.

"Ah, wait a minute!"

Just when Huan Iroha was halfway through speaking, Qian Shu suddenly jumped up, startling everyone.

"what happened?"

"You just said that you felt a little thirsty when you were looking for your sister, and then you met an uncle with a bicycle cooler on the roadside and gave you a bottle of water?"

"Ah, um... That bottle of water is delicious. I'm willing to pay for it, but the uncle said that a person can only drink one bottle a day..."

"This is it!!"

Which one is it?

Seeing Qian Shu's startled look, everyone looked at each other, and Duanmu Huai also looked at her curiously and complained.

"What? Do you suspect that the water is poisonous?"

Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, there are indeed many incidents of poisoning through this behavior in Japan, especially where people stand on the street and distribute free candy and food to unspecified people. It's just that Tamaki Iroha is a magical girl... Frankly speaking, even if the other party really poisons her, there is still a question of whether it will be useful to the magical girl.

"No, I was just talking about how it sounded so familiar before. In fact, I actually heard similar rumors yesterday."

As he spoke, Qian Shu started flipping through his notebook quickly.

"Ah, here I found it! The rumor of the Water of Misfortune!"

"Unlucky……………"

"Water of...?"

Anyway, you can tell from the name that this is not a good thing. The content of this rumor is as follows:

Alas, have you heard about it? Who did you hear it from?

Rumors of Unfortunate Waters.

A nostalgic vintage bicycle with a basket and a cooler on the back seat.

If you say "Uncle, please give me a glass of water", drink the full glass of water you get.

Gudonggudongpahha suddenly became refreshed and full of energy!

But even so, it is actually false.

The water you drank was terrible water! !

If it passes 24 hours, the misfortune dissolved in the water will cause disaster.

This is a rumor widely circulated among students in Sanjing District!

"...Well, that's pretty much it."

"To be honest, this thing sounds dangerous even if you don't take the curse into account."

Duanmuhuai complained silently.

"Sure enough, free things are always the most expensive."

"Uh...so, am I cursed?"

At this moment, Huan Caiyu was also pale and speechless.

"That's about it. You said yesterday that you were going to Sanjing District, and your uncle gave you water for free. And after that, didn't a piece of paper with 24 written on it fall from the sky? It seems to be consistent with this rumor. Quite similar.”

"Oh...it's true."

"Forget it, this is not bad."

"Isn't this not bad?"

"That's right. I've seen some videos like this before. Passers-by gave girls drinks. The girls fell unconscious after drinking the drinks. Then they were dragged by passers-by into a van next to them, and then they put them in a van. The girl who was in a daze after drinking a drug mixed with drugs took off her clothes, then did this, that, and that, and then filmed it..."

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!!"

However, before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qian Shu with a blushing face and shouting. Next to him, Tomoe Mami, Xiao Meiyan and Huan Caiyu were even more red-faced, with their heads lowered and speechless - they Still a junior high school student! This topic is too early for them!

Even the two adults, Yugiri Ayano and Nanami Yachiyo, helplessly stretched out their hands to hold their foreheads, looking speechless. Only Mu Geng stared at Duanmu Huai with shining eyes, as if he had heard something good.

"Xiao Ai, where did you see such things?"

"There are many online and in video stores, such as "The JK Uniform I Encountered at a Cafe in Tokyo", "The Unbearable Road to School with O-drugs on the Bicycle Chair", and "Library's Fixed Constraints Obsession x Female School Student" etc. By the way, their serial numbers are..."

"No need to say that! No need to say it!!"

After finally stopping Duanmu Huai's science popularization, Qian Shu almost fell down on the table as if exhausted.

"...Why do you want to see this kind of thing?"

Yugiri Ayano also glared at Duanmuhuai with a slightly red face. If it weren't for the girl in front of her, and a girl who was more beautiful than all of them, this would be a complete harassment!

"Of course it's to protect yourself."

"Huh?? What do you mean?"

"You see, there are various criminal methods nowadays. If you don't know a little bit more, what if you fall into someone else's trap, like Xiaohuan!"

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai pointed at Huan Caiyu, who trembled in fright.

"What if she doesn't know, and then one day someone paints something on her bicycle chair, and then Xiaohuan gradually loses consciousness halfway, and then the bad guys who are waiting to succeed..."

"Well, well, I go to and from school by train..."

"Oh, then I also have the Wolf of Electric O here..."

"Okay, okay, let's get back to the topic."

Yugiri Ayano finally couldn't help but bring the topic back, and also saved the life of Tamaki Iroha, whose face turned red and was about to crawl into the cracks of the ground.

"In other words, Tamaki Iroha-san was cursed by that rumor? She is obviously a magical girl? Don't you think it's strange at all?"

"Well... speaking of it, I really didn't feel anything at all at that time. Unlike the witch, there was no distortion or ominous magical aura, so I didn't think about it in that direction at all."

"Now what?"

Hearing this, Tomoe Asami also frowned. After all, this was the first time for her to meet such a weird existence.

"It's very simple."

After teasing Xiao Huan, Duanmu Huai returned to the topic.

"Either we wait until the countdown is over to see how powerful this rumor is, or we take the initiative to find it. Isn't this thing wandering around in Sanjing District? Just find someone pushing a bicycle with a cooler behind it, everywhere It’s just an uncle who gives people water. It won’t be difficult at all to find a way to interrogate him.”

"no problem?"

"If he dares to resist, I will treat him to pork chop rice."

This is the source of state violence.

"Then take action."

Yugiri Ayano did not object, or in other words, she was unwilling to stay here any longer, otherwise she would not know what Duanmuhuai would say.

"Let's go to Sanjing District and investigate the truth about the rumors about the unfortunate water!"
