So I became a witch

"Ah? Oh, I remember." I was a little confused, but I agreed.

"We will meet again." Shining said softly, once again showing the smile I just glimpsed.

I seem to have walked into a misunderstanding.

After knowing that this world is a simulation of the past of the real world, I began to substituting it into reality unconsciously, but in essence, this is still a game competition.If you think about it from the perspective of the game, every clue left by the creator to the player must be useful somewhere.So, what is the clue that the girl left us?Is it a painting?Or her weird speech?

Excluding these factors that may be dominated by the game, the girl still gave me a very strange feeling, but I can't tell exactly what it is.

In short, for now, we can only take one step at a time.

"Hey, Tianchen, look, I don't know why there are so many people gathered together." Lulu said suddenly.

I came back to my senses and saw that a large group of people had gathered downstairs in the teaching building we just came out of. There were teachers, students, and some unidentified onlookers. All of them were taking pictures, and all of them were looking towards the roof of the building.

Roof?

I raised my head abruptly, and then I saw the girl standing completely on the edge of the floor, with her hands behind her back, holding onto the railing.

not good!I cried out in my heart that something was wrong, I left the two of them and rushed out.However, Yue's reaction was faster than mine, and she ran in front of me in an instant, leaving only Lulu who didn't know what happened, staying where she was.

But it was too late. Now that my body is restricted, my speed can't even keep up with Yue's footsteps. Neither I nor she can cross a distance of several hundred meters in this instant.At this moment, the girl on the top of the building had already let go of her hand, her body leaned forward, like a butterfly with broken wings, it fell vertically onto the concrete floor amidst the exclamation of everyone.

After a lot of effort, Yue and I finally squeezed to the front of the crowd and saw the girl lying in a pool of blood.Although her face has become somewhat blurred, we still recognized her as the student we were looking for——Liang Qiao.

Still, didn't have time?I gritted my teeth.No, no, since it has not been declared a failure, it means that the matter is not over yet.

What exactly is this game asking us to do?revenge?Or solve the case?Or, unlock all the answers?

Suddenly, I noticed that there seemed to be a figure flashing past on the top of the rooftop.

At this time, the sound of sirens has already been heard in the distance, and it will be difficult to wait for the police to arrive.With a decision in my mind, I sneaked into the teaching building and ran all the way to the top floor. Finally, I was blocked by an iron door. The door lock was well buckled, and it was covered with rust. It seemed that it hadn't been used for a long time. , I am afraid that even if you take the key, you may not be able to open it.Then the question arises, how did Liang Qiao get to the rooftop?Is there another way that we don't know about?And that black shadow I saw, who is it?

"Well, the lock is so old that it doesn't look like it can be used at all. How did it get there?"

"Yue?" I was taken aback, "When did you come here?"

"I saw Xiaochen sneaking into the teaching building, so I followed." She said naturally, "Thank you, but it's dangerous here, and it's my turn to be a professional detective... Pain, pain, pain!"

Expressionlessly, I stretched out my hands and tugged at her complacent cheeks, and then let go with a "snap".

"It hurts a lot, Xiaochen!" Yue rubbed her face tearfully and sobbed.

"Anyway, let's go down first. It would be bad if we were treated as criminal suspects." I looked out through the window on the middle floor, and found that the police had already started to cordon off the scene, Liang Qiao's body It's gone too, probably sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and I don't know if it's alive or dead.Several of the witnesses have already begun to make confessions one by one.

"Speaking of which, I just saw someone running from the passageway on the third floor towards another teaching building. At first I thought it was Xiaochen, and I was shocked." Yue said suddenly.

"Aisle on the third floor?" I frowned, "Did you see who it was?"

"No, he ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye, but I remember that he should be a pretty small person, similar to Xiaochen." Yue Lao said honestly.

I secretly kept this information in my heart, and left the teaching building with Yue.

Chapter 78 Depicting the Maiden of Death (14)

"Well, that's all I know." I said truthfully to the policeman.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. If you have nothing else to say, you can go." The police uncle nodded, motioning for me to leave, and at the same time asked the assistant to call in the next student.

Because I was found in the teaching building, Yue and I were called to record a statement. Besides us, there were a few students we didn’t know who also lined up to record a statement on the spot in an empty classroom.Because it was temporarily judged to be suicide, we were only asked a few simple questions about Liang Qiao, such as how her relationship with her classmates was, how her grades were, and how her family was, before being released.

However, what I am more concerned about is the roof door that cannot be opened. It is said that the only key is stored in the student union room, which is where we went before. After the police got the key, it took a lot of effort to open it. the door.At this time, the roof of the teaching building has been blocked, and it is too difficult to get in without being discovered, it seems that we have to find another opportunity.

When I walked out, Yue, Lulu and Bai Guan had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"It's been a long time." I said hello.

"Hmph, as an ant, you really have the guts to let us spend our precious time here...the pain is gone." Bai Lin pouted with teary eyes.

"Well, it's okay, we just came out not long ago." Bai Guan said while stroking his sister's head, as if it was compensation for pinching her face just now, after a while Bai Lin showed a cat-like expression of enjoyment.

"However, this is..." He pointed to Yue Wen who was standing beside Lu Lu.

"Huh? I'm Feng Ziyue, you can also call me Yue directly!" Yue said with a bright face.

"Huh? But she, it should be...strange..." Bai Guan's face became a little serious, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Ah no, it's nothing, I just thought of something else." Bai Guan shook his head with a light smile, and stretched out his hand to Yue, "Um, nice to meet you, Yue... no, classmate Feng Ziyue. "

"Hello, that..."

"I'm Bai Guan, and this is my younger sister, Bai Lin. We, Luo Tianchen and Lu Lu are all members of the performance club. Please take care of me." Bai Guan introduced himself.

"Hey? Is there such a club in the school... Well, forget it. By the way, I heard from Xiaochen that you are also looking for some clues, right? Did you find anything?" Yue looked at it with bright eyes. Bai Guan said.

Bai Guan looked at me hesitantly, maybe he was hesitating why he wanted to bring an NPC in.I didn't answer, just nodded slightly, meaning it doesn't matter.

"Since classmate Luo Tianchen said so, then I don't need to hide anything." Bai Guan said, "To be honest, I'm sorry, we didn't find anything strange. This school is just ordinary. school."

"Huh? If the school is not a school, what else can it be? What do you mean by strange things?" Yue asked inexplicably.

"It's nothing, just saying that." I said vaguely and perfunctorily.

Everyone except Yue understood the meaning contained in Baiguan's words, that is to say, this game will not be related to supernatural creatures such as virtual beasts, but just an ordinary personnel case. This can also explain why our power will disappear, because it is not used at all.

But in this case, the trouble will be even greater.From the beginning of the game to the present, we still don't know anything about the rules and customs clearance conditions, which is still unclear after Liang Qiao committed suicide.What should we do?To investigate the cause of her suicide?Or does he count?

"Although we have thought a lot, all we can do now is take a step forward." Bai Guan smiled wryly.

"That's right." I agreed with his thoughts, "Speaking of which, is your body alright?"

"Ah, no matter how you say it, I'm not so weak that I can't take care of myself." Bai Guan smiled and turned his wrist, "And it doesn't seem to be completely sealed off here, I can still feel a little bit of star energy... Don't look at me with such guarded eyes, just a little bit, I won't lose my mind, and at best, I can move freely."

"Really? That's good." I breathed a sigh of relief, "So, do you have any other discoveries?"

"Well, what's more strange is that we searched almost all over the school, but we didn't see that girl, as if she was there from the beginning." Bai Guan said.

"But this is impossible. When we were passing by Class 17 ([-]) before, we heard that unscrupulous boy say that the superior ordered her to buy drinks, that is to say, at least ten minutes before that She did appear in this school within half an hour. Then the question arises, when exactly did she disappear, and how did she get to that rooftop."

Bai Guan and I fell into deep thought at the same time, and Lu Lu and Bai Lin also began to think together, only Yue Yi was left there with a confused face and an expression of "begging for explanation": "Wait, wait, what the hell are you doing?" What are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all?"

"Well, how should I put it, looking for clues and so on..." I struggled with how to explain it to her.

"Oh, what, it turned out to be a detective game." Yue said with a look of understanding.

"Ah no, that... Forget it, it's okay if you understand it that way."

"Let's say it earlier, if it's just a small problem, let me, a real detective, help you solve it!" Yue said confidently.

"You?" Bai Lin looked her up and down, with "disbelief" written all over his face.

"Yes, it's true! I'm very famous abroad! And I've solved many big cases, Xiaochen! She's also my fan!" Yue Yi pulled me past and said .

"Really?" Bai Lin frowned, looking at me suspiciously.

"No...forget it, just listen to what she has to say first." I replied weakly.

"Since this guy has already said that... well, let's just listen to your nonsense." Bai Lin crossed her arms and said proudly.

Even if she was treated like this, Yue didn't show any signs of getting angry. It should be said that she really deserves to be a kind person that I can't bear to look at. After listening to my simple explanation, she really started to think seriously: "In short, It’s because you want to investigate the cause of the girl’s suicide or other information. In that case, why don’t you ask that boy named Yan Hong?”

Chapter 79 Depicting the Maiden of Death (15)

Yue's words reminded us that, indeed, that boy was the most suspect when something like this happened, but...

"That guy doesn't look like he will obediently accept questions..." Bai Guan said.

"Yes, but there is no other way. If necessary, even if you use violence, you must get information from him." I said.

"Do you want me to come?" Yue said eagerly, "It just so happens that I learned a lot of interrogation techniques from books... ah, I can just use them to try..."

"Don't worry, I won't give you a chance to use it." I sighed and said, "Speaking of which, has any of you seen where that person went before?"

"I seem to see that he was also called by the police...ah, come out!" Lulu said, pointing to another door.

"I've said it all, I don't know anything!" A tall boy came out with an impatient face, it was Yan Hong we saw in the student union room before.

"Student, please cooperate. We learned from other students that there seems to be some relationship between you and the student who jumped from the building. If possible, can you tell us?" The police lady said with an unchanged expression.

"I told you I don't know anything! I have other things, I don't have time to waste time with you here!" Yan Hong said, rushed out of the classroom, and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye. With a look of helplessness, it seems that they all know Yan Hong's family background. If it is a confirmed murder case, that's all. But under the premise that this tentatively is a suicide case, they can't make too much interference.

"So, what should we do next?" Bai Guan looked at me and said, he seemed to have a faint feeling that I was the leader, which made me faintly alert to him, and to be honest, I didn't fully Trust his words, because this guy always gives me a very dangerous feeling, even if he shows a docile look now, it can't change the fact that he almost killed Lulu and his sister.But at least we are still partners on the surface, not to mention that he is so cooperative, I can't directly reject him.

"Let's put that boy aside for the time being. Isn't there another person who knows Liang Qiao's situation best?"

"You mean, the student council president, Mu Xue?" Bai Guan's reaction was extremely quick, and he immediately understood what I wanted to say.

"But wasn't that woman also called away? And are you sure she would tell us the information so easily?" Bai Lin said while playing with her long hair boredly.

"It's impossible to say that there is no possibility, and in this case, it's better than looking around randomly."

"Indeed." Lulu said.

In this way, we walked towards the direction of the student council room while chatting, but unfortunately, the door of the student council room was locked, and it seemed that there was no one inside.

Have you come back yet?Or where did you go...

Just as I was thinking, a girl's shrill scream suddenly came from the teaching building: "Yeah!!!!!!!!!!"

We turned our heads in unison to where the call came from.

"Over there is... the third grade teaching building!" Bai Guan said in a low voice.

"Let's go!" I ordered decisively.As a result, as soon as we ran through the passage, we saw the girl sitting paralyzed at the door of the class at the end of the corridor.

"What happened? Can you stand up?" I stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Well, I..." The girl's face was pale, obviously terrified.

When I saw her face, I was taken aback, as if I had seen her somewhere before.

By the way, it was the very inconspicuous girl who huddled in the corner of the class when Lulu and I came here to observe secretly.

Why did she fall at the door of her class?With such doubts, I followed the direction of her finger and looked inside the class.

The tall boy lay on his back on the ground.

I walked forward silently and found that the boy was Yan Hong whom we were looking for earlier.His expression was very painful, his face was ferocious, he was foaming at the mouth, and there was still a trace of wet unknown liquid hanging from the corner of his mouth.I knelt down, stretched out my hand to test his pulse, and then shook my head to the people waiting at the door: "He is dead, Yue, you go and call the police. If there are other people, be careful not to let other students approach here. "

"clear."

Well, there's still a lot to do before the police arrive.

The first step is to observe the cause of death of the boy.There was no obvious trauma on his body. Judging from his dead appearance, the possibility of poisoning was extremely high; the period from when he left the interrogation room to when he returned to his class did not exceed 10 minutes. Although the tables and chairs around the boys It was very chaotic, but the scope was very small, indicating that he died within a very short period of time after he discovered that he was poisoned. If he wanted to kill such a strong student in such a short period of time, the murderer must have used some kind of dramatic method. In addition to the smell of bitter almonds floating in the air, it is very likely that it is a chemical product of potassium cyanide; the second step is to observe the surrounding environment.Around the boy, there was an open bottle of iced black tea poured out, and the drink was still flowing out from the bottle. The doors and windows of the classroom were locked and intact, without any signs of prying. A certain window of ’s caught my attention.

This is... footprints?

Judging from the size, it should be the footprints of a girl, or a boy with a petite body. I checked the other windows and found no similar traces.

Is it by chance?I tried pushing the window corresponding to the footprints, but the window didn't budge.Because it uses a hook-and-ring type window lock, once it is buckled, it is difficult to open from the outside. That is to say, in this case, if you want to enter the classroom from the outside, you can basically enter through the door. .

"Well, are you okay?"

"Ah! Yes, yes!" The girl didn't seem to expect that I would call her, and hurriedly replied.

"You should be the first to find his body, right? Can you tell me about the situation at that time?" I said.

"I, I..." The girl stammered and replied, obviously she was quite frightened and hadn't recovered from the shock.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually, as a practice for answering the police later." I comforted her.

I don't know if my words really worked, the girl's breathing gradually calmed down: "Well, actually, I'm with him..."

"You mean, did you go back to work with him?" Yue ran back at some point, stood beside the girl, and said.

"Well, that, because of the key, I was called to open the door..."

Chapter 80 Depicting the Maiden of Death (16)

"Hmm, are you saying that he asked you to open the door because the classroom doors were locked?" Yue said while nodding.

"Then, the desk, the drink, fell down..."

"What, and after he took out the unfinished drink from his backpack and drank it, did he become like this? Is that basically all?"

The girl nodded, meaning that what Yue said was correct.

"It's a good thing you can understand what she said." Bai Lin glanced at Yue in surprise.

"Huhu, I don't know why, it just feels like I can understand other people's thoughts." Yue chuckled.
