Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 228 225. Night Watchman

Thanks to the organizer's announcement and Kyushu Cheng's repeated reminders, the Xiujin Academy players gave up the idea of ​​going out for a dinner party and planned to wash up and go to bed after a simple dinner in the hotel restaurant.

"Oops, I ran out of water."

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

According to Jiuzhou Cheng's instructions, the boys have been drinking bottled mineral water these days, and the mineral water bottles that are thrown away every day can pile up into a hill.

"Speaking of which, we haven't bought any water today." The Kendo Minister also picked up the mineral water bottle he drank from, and the water in it had reached the bottom.

"Let me buy it for you." Seeing this, Kyushu Cheng slowly stood up.

"I'm so sorry to have to trouble Kyushu-san again." The boys all looked very polite.

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

"Senior, I want Dr. C'thulu's Fukuoka limited soda!" Motaro raised his hand first and shouted.

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

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

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

"."

Jiuzhou Cheng wrote a list on his mobile phone memo and then went out.

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

When leaving the convenience store, Kyushu Cheng caught a glimpse of a man wearing a hoodie sitting in the dining area in the corner. He looked to be between twenty and thirty years old.

The man's behavior was a bit suspicious. He was sitting alone in a convenience store at night, passing the time, looking at his cell phone from time to time, but looking out the window more often.

Thinking of the recent attacks on players, Kyushu Cheng felt something bad in his heart. But the hooded man just sat there without any signs of suspicion, and it was not easy for Kyushu Cheng to find fault.

"Forget it. I hope I'm overthinking it." He sighed and quickly returned to the hotel.

Kyushu Cheng distributed the things to the boys, and the kendo director collected the invoices, planning to reimburse him when he returned.

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

Although this Jade Dragon Banner competition was not a peaceful one, everything went smoothly for Xiujin College. 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. By then everything will be settled and everyone will no longer have to be so worried.

But if everything is true as Minami Kazuki said, and someone wants to let the local Fukuoka team win the championship by attacking foreign players, will they attack all other final teams before tomorrow?
With this in mind, Kyushu Cheng checked the doors, windows and anti-theft chains, and closed all the curtains before going to bed.

【Jingle Bell--! 】

His cell phone rang suddenly, it was Nan Hehui calling.

Kyushu Cheng came to the corner of the room, answered the phone and turned down the volume so as not to disturb other students' rest.

[Your Excellency Kyushu, I’m sorry to bother you so late. ] The other party's tone was urgent.

"What's wrong, is there something urgent?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked.

【You should have seen the announcement issued by the organizer, right? 】Nan Hehui Road.

"I see, the organizers are pretty good at avoiding the easy and trivial~" Cheng Jiuzhou grinned: "They actually called such a serious accident an "unpleasant incident." "

[Sorry, this is the best effort that the master and I have done. ] Nan Hehui replied: [The organizers did this because they did not want to create meaningless panic and prevent the game from going on. ] "Then you suddenly came to me in the middle of the night. Could it be that..." Jiuzhou Cheng paused and felt bad: "A new case has happened?"

[Yes, you guessed it right. ] Nan Hehui admitted:
[To be honest, I would rather all my previous suspicions were wrong. But as expected, another player encountered an accident tonight, and they are all teams participating in the finals tomorrow. 】

Nan Hehui paused: [Wait a moment, I will send you some information. This is a statistical report written by me based on the information I heard.]

After a while, a document popped up on Kyushu Cheng's phone, along with many photos:
"During the Jade Dragon Banner Competition, many players were attacked. They can be roughly divided into two groups."

"On the day before and on the first day of the auditions, a total of twelve accidents occurred among contestants."

"Daika Kaito, the leading player of Sotenbori High School, was attacked by an unknown gangster while running at night and was hit on the brain with a blunt instrument and was hospitalized; Suruga Koshida and Nishimotozawa, the starting players of Seigaku High School, developed symptoms of food poisoning after dinner and were suspected of being on the road. Suspicious 'local snacks' were eaten at a side stall, but since the stall owner has disappeared without a trace, no conclusive evidence can be found; the starting player of Fuuchin High School"

Jiuzhou Cheng's eyes became more solemn and he continued to look down:

"On the second day of the auditions (today), a total of ten player accidents have occurred so far."

"Two starting players from Aiboro High School were shot in the thigh by an unknown person with a bow and arrow when they went out tonight. The murderer escaped and has not been captured yet."

"A starting player from Enoshima High School was hit by a flower pot thrown from high altitude while going out to eat. He is currently being sent to hospital for medical treatment."

"A starting player from Kagoshima High School was attacked by an unknown person while going out alone and is currently being sent to hospital for medical treatment."

"Two starting players from Shohoku Kasumi High School"

Looking at the shocking lines of text and photos of the crime scene, Kyushu Cheng felt his heart beating fast.

As Nan Hehui said, the players who were attacked today are all on the final list. In other words, today's series of attacks are obviously targeting the finalists!

"Are these true?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked.

[It is absolutely true. These are all first-hand information I obtained through the local intelligence network and as a "special guest". I even went to the scene to see it. ] Nan Hehui said reluctantly:

【hateful! I thought the situation would get better after the organizer made an announcement! 】

"The cases are becoming more and more frequent." Jiuzhou Cheng said uneasily:
"If someone really instigated this series of events, then the mastermind behind it has obviously become anxious and wants to get rid of all the teams before the start of the finals."

[However, the real culprit has not revealed any clues yet, and I have no substantial evidence.] Nan Hehui said helplessly:
[Even I myself began to waver. I still couldn’t believe that my alma mater and hometown would do such an extreme thing in order to win the Jade Dragon Banner competition. 】

"It must be difficult for you to doubt your hometown and the alma mater you have fought for." Jiuzhou Cheng comforted:
"But I still want to thank you. I'll be careful tonight."

Listening to Minami Hehui's tone, he was already convinced that this series of cases were inseparable from Fukuoka Okishima High School. But this was just a guess after all, and he could only keep this idea in his stomach.

If he chooses to call the police now, the police will definitely not be willing to believe his claims without evidence, let alone go to war over it.

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

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

Jiuzhou Cheng understood Nan Hehui's difficulties and anxieties, but he couldn't help much. Even the words to enlighten him were so feeble.

[There are currently six final teams that have not suffered accidents, including Fukuoka Okishima High School and your Shujin Academy. ] Nan Hehui sighed and continued:
[I am trying to contact all the teams that have not yet been killed to ask them to pay attention to their safety, including you. This is all I can do. 】

[Please protect your classmates. If Okishima High School really plans to use such despicable means to win the championship, then I will stop them no matter what! 】

"You have said this more than once. I understand your determination. If necessary, I will help."

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