Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1401 is just the prologue (Starry Sky finally has a vehicle!)

"But, the bodies of the two girls were not found in the end?"

After pouring Duanmu Huai a cup of tea, Shajiuye asked uneasily.

"No, their bodies had been eaten clean by the monster, not even the bones were left. After that, I went to the air-raid shelter again to search, but I didn't find anything. Only the mobile phone, maybe because of luck. Only one was preserved, and the others were either eaten or destroyed.”

Duanmu Huai shook his head. He could see the ending of the two girls through his mobile phone, so he had no idea. Frankly speaking, the sports girl is really unlucky. She was simply involved in the stupid behavior of her friends. But the literary girl is seeking her own death, and Duanmuhuai has no sympathy for her at all.

"It's so pitiful... If there were corpses, we could still worship them."

"If not, then at least it would be a good thing for the family to have the idea that the other person is still alive."

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. The monster's body had completely melted and disappeared, so naturally there was no evidence left. So Duanmu Huai just told the principal that the monsters that invaded the campus had been expelled. Of course, the principal was dubious about this. so……

"Is brother leaving?"

"The principal asked me to substitute teach for at least one semester."

Duanmuhuai sighed silently, but it didn't matter, it was the other party who paid the salary anyway.

And Duanmu Huai doesn't intend to leave, because strictly speaking, this matter is not over yet.

In other words, in Duanmuhuai's view, it's just the beginning.

The reason is simple. After killing the monster, Duanmuhuai did not get the essence of the past.

From the previous retracement, Duanmu Huai has determined that the monster is more like being attracted or summoned. If we use the game analogy, then it is more like a summoned monster rather than a real BOSS. So Duanmu Huai also planned to stay in the school for a while and see the situation. Otherwise, if you say it's okay and leave, then something happens at school, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

Although more things should be traceable through the magic circle on the ceiling, the magic circle was automatically destroyed when Duanmuhuai traced it. This is very similar to the situation where Duanmu Huai used shadows to copy believers in March City and then self-destructed them. This means that behind the magic circle there must be an old ruler who is almost the same as the King in Yellow, so Duanmu Huai Huai cannot get information from it.

In other words, there must be something wrong with this place. As for what the problem is... Duanmuhuai hasn't figured it out yet.

"Woo...Woo..."

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, Duanmu Huai picked up the phone and connected it, and then the voice of Ziyuanji Youzi came from inside.

"Found it!"

"What did you find?"

"According to what you said, I checked the historical records of Qianyuan Academy and found that there was indeed a mass disappearance 60 years ago!"

"Mass disappearance?"

"Yes, because it has been so long, I can only extract information from the Internet and some tabloids, which may not necessarily guarantee credibility. However, some newspapers at that time did report the mass disappearance of Qianyuan Academy students. Among them One tabloid magazine wrote about supernatural photos!”

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai took his cell phone... and then rushed to the second floor and opened the door.

"Show me, where is it?"

"Whoa!"

Ziyuanji Youzi, who was sitting on the bed, was startled by Duanmuhuai who suddenly rushed in, and immediately turned to glare at him dissatisfied.

"Why did you suddenly break into the lady's room!"

"Obviously we are under the same roof, but you still use your mobile phone to communicate. This is sick!"

Duanmu Huai glared at Ziyuanji Youzi, this girl is really a NEET, she almost never goes out. She slept here and ate here. If Shajiuye hadn't forced her to do so, she wouldn't even bother to take a shower and change clothes. It's as if I have to live in this room for the rest of my life and never leave. Like just now, she insisted on communicating with Duan Muhuai through her mobile phone when she shouted something from the second floor.

Those who don’t know think they are thousands of miles apart!

Duanmu Huai is not used to this **** girl's problems.

"Come, let me see, where are you talking about?"

Duanmuhuai walked directly to Ziyuan Temple Youzi's bed, and the latter glared at Duanmuhuai hatefully and turned around helplessly.

"Here... the owner of this website is interested in collecting tabloids. Later, as the Internet developed, he posted all the content he collected online, and he did gain a certain degree of popularity."

This is also normal, just like some people’s hobby is collecting cigarette shells. In the past, no one understood it, and they could only collect them in a drawer for masturbation. But now in the Internet age, you can post these photos online and communicate with like-minded people.

Shionji Yuko's screen quickly brought up the content of the magazine. Although the paper was a little yellowed due to its age, the content inside was quite clear.

Duanmu Huai read it again and immediately understood why Ziyuanji Youzi quickly locked onto this content.

Because the content of this story is almost exactly the same as what I encountered before.

According to the description in the magazine, the interviewee was a friend of the missing person, who told the reporter that those students were members of a mysterious club in the school before they disappeared. Their hobby is supernatural events, and before they disappeared, these people had taken some supernatural photos.

The reason that prompted them to take the photo was the supernatural album in the magazine.

It was not like now. Although it has entered the scientific age, superstition is still very popular. For example, qigong, psychics, etc. were also very popular at the time and were called supernatural sciences. There were even scholars who specialized in studying these (I don’t know if they were). Liars or fools), thinking that things like the soul or Feng Shui can be explained scientifically. Therefore, at that time, paranormal research was not regarded as some weird hobby in society, and because of its characteristics, it attracted many people to discuss it.

The same was true for the Supernatural Research Society of Sengen Academy at that time. They believed that the location of Sengen Academy might be a place where mysterious power could easily gather in some kind of feng shui, so photos like this should be able to be taken here. So they used a certain method and finally took a supernatural photo.

Then after that, they disappeared. Because Sengen Academy was an aristocratic girls' school, the atmosphere at that time was even more conservative than it is now, and the people who went to that school were all upper class and wealthy children. Therefore, the disappearance of these students really aroused heated discussion in the world, and the police also A task force was set up to investigate from all angles, but to no avail.

The reason why we know this is because in order to emphasize the specificity of the disappearance, the tabloid also published a report on the investigation of the case at that time. It should be to prove to readers that "the police have not found any clues despite all their efforts, so this must be some kind of incredible supernatural event."

In the end, this matter became an unsolved case because there was no result, and the media reported it as a "Shenyin Incident", and finally went unsolved.

I have to say that the whole story is exactly the same as the previous situation. Is history really a cycle?

After all, if the current situation develops, the police here will also list it as an unsolved case because there are no clues and no body can be found.

"So, the photos that the girl saw were actually taken by students of this school sixty years ago, and those students disappeared after taking the photos... Now she also imitated those seniors and took photos, and then disappeared. ...No, he was eaten by a monster?"

Seeing this, Sha Jiuye murmured to himself, while Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"This is actually quite normal."

After all, in Mary's world, Duanmu Huai encountered a similar thing when facing a cultist. The other party summoned a creature from another world to deal with him. As a result, the latter turned around and ate the summoner after being summoned - —If you don’t prepare a sacrifice, then you will be the unlucky one. Is it any wonder?

Those students were all laymen, and they probably never thought about preparing any sacrifices, so it was natural for them to be eaten by the summoned objects after they were summoned.

In this way, we can understand why nothing happened in the school after that - after all, the summoned creature patted its **** and turned back to its hometown without receiving orders after eating. So unless someone summons himself next time, it will definitely not appear.

In fact, so was the monster. If Duanmuhuai hadn't found it so quickly in the past few days, it might have disappeared on its own in two days.

As for why the monster didn't disappear immediately this time, Duanmu Huai probably didn't eat enough.

After all, there were five people missing before, but this time there were only two.

For the monster's size, two shouldn't be enough.

If Duanmuhuai and Mianmuzuotiao had been eaten at that time, maybe the monster would go home and sleep contentedly. Then there will be rumors in the school that "someone mysteriously disappeared, and the person investigating the matter also disappeared mysteriously", and it will eventually develop into some kind of horror story.

Well, in fact, it's just that the monster went home to sleep after eating enough.

"What about the magazine?"

The source of the two consecutive incidents was a paranormal topic published in a paranormal magazine. It’s hard not to think more about it. Although similar things are actually not uncommon. Many TV programs will also collect the audience’s paranormal experiences and then film the more interesting ones. The series is broadcast on television.

In fact, Duanmuhuai also suspected that the students who disappeared 60 years ago might have obtained the same magic book, but unfortunately too much time passed, and the traceback to the air-raid shelter itself could not be successful because of the magic circle.

As for the things inside - if they were more than sixty years old, they would have been thrown into the trash can.

"There's nothing wrong with the magazine itself, it's just an ordinary supernatural magazine."

Shionji Yuko spread her hands helplessly.

"I investigated its distribution, publication, and planning...it's all normal. At least it seems to be just a third-rate supernatural magazine."

"What about Sengen Academy itself?"

"A prestigious private school, it has been very famous since its establishment... Your sister went to school there, so she should know better than me. After all, I have never been to the school. Of course, there are occasional suicides or disappearances, but in a century's time Judging by the scale, it’s not too unusual.”

Similar things actually happen in every school. After all, students are inherently emotionally unstable, especially in adolescence. It is not impossible for schools to commit suicide or cause incidents for some reasons. From this point of view, the incidents that happened at Sengen Academy can be said to be very few compared to other schools. After all, it is a school for young ladies with strict control.

"So the clue is broken again?"

"That's true for now, and the commission you received isn't to investigate this, right? Hasn't that monster been eliminated by you? Isn't that enough?"

From the perspective of Shionji Yuko, this is indeed the case, and so does Duanmu Huai. If he hadn't obtained the essence of the past, he would have thought that the matter was over.

"Anyway, I will stay in school for another semester...forget it, let's see what happens."

Duanmu Huai is not the kind of investigator who will get to the bottom of things. His attitude is to stop looking if he can't find it. The other party will eventually jump out on his own anyway.

Just like the King in Yellow, since there is no way to stop their conspiracy, then they will come out and beat them up after they succeed, and a mantis will catch the cicada and the oriole behind them.

Isn’t this the case with many adventure and mystery movies? The protagonist went through countless hardships, passed through mechanisms, avoided monsters, solved puzzles, and finally obtained the treasure hidden in the tomb. Then when he climbed out of the tomb with the treasure, the person led by the villain directly held a gun against him, and then the other party easily took away the treasure.

No need to decipher, no need to take risks, simple, rough, direct and easy.

Duanmuhuai also likes this approach.

Of course, what Duanmu Huai doesn't like is the fact that in the movie, the villain obviously got something but didn't kill the protagonist. If it were Duanmu Huai, he would just smash the opponent's head and throw the body into the ravine.

Well, it seems like he is no longer the protagonist?

"Then do we still want to continue the investigation? I followed what you said and investigated all of this, but I didn't find any clues related to the Cosmic Light Foundation."

"...No need, let's talk about it next time when we have a chance."

Duanmuhuai thought for a while and made a decisive decision, while Ziyuanji Youzi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's do this... Then again, someone seems to be looking for you."

As he spoke, Shionji Yuko stretched out his finger and pointed at the screen.

Duanmuhuai turned his head and saw Yotsuya Miko's figure appearing on the screen.
