Early in the morning, 00:50.

In the room prepared by the Metropolitan Police Department in Kyoto.

"It's almost time."

Sakai looked down at the time shown on his wrist, and the expression on his face became a little solemn.

He is currently in the room he had asked the Metropolitan Police Department to prepare.

The surroundings were full of information about Keiko Watanabe, from interrogation of the class reunion, testimony of Horikawa High School students, to the autopsy report after the body in the time capsule was dug out.

Even the various murders that happened in Horikawa High School later seemed to start with the fact that Keiko was dug out of the time capsule.

At the same time, in the investigation of Horikawa High School, Sakai found some strange records.

Horikawa High School has a long history and can be traced to the Meiji era at first. However, the original Horikawa High School was just an ordinary school and did not have much detailed records. The only written record is that in the "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes" in Showa 12, it was mentioned that the Horikawa High School teaching building in that year was damaged by a typhoon and had to be rebuilt for a period of time. The current old school building of Horikawa High School was also built that year.

According to the description of "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes", during the construction of the school building, Horikawa High School once dug out a dismembered female corpse under the original site of the old school building. The body had been buried underneath for a long time, but when it was unearthed, blood was still flowing out of the wound.

It is said that because of the female corpse being dug out, the construction workers in charge of the construction at that time went crazy.

In order to solve this incident, Furikawa High School spent a lot of energy at that time. The government came forward to find all the dismembered corpses. Except for the most important head parts, no matter how the school searched, the head of the female corpse could not be found. Finally, under the pressure of the construction period, the government was not allowed to end the search and burned the found corpses.

Since then, some strange things have happened frequently in Horikawa High School, and students often disappear or die due to certain accidents.

But these strange things didn't last long and disappeared quickly.

As time passed, Horikawa High School gradually became an ordinary high school.

The reason why "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes" records this incident is just to record it as a rumor in it.

If it weren't for the shock caused by the Takayama that forced Sakai to investigate Watanabe Keiko and related clues, the whole thing might have been forgotten in history.

Judging from the description of "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes", Horikawa High School itself has some unusual features.

Sakai had a premonition in his heart, perhaps all of this was the source of the frequent strange things in Horikawa High School.

However, although some clues have been investigated, the urgent reality has not given Sakai too much time to think.

On the wrist, the watch's hand has jumped to 01:00.

Sakai calmed down his guess, picked up the phone in the room with breath and said, "Class Keiko, Keiko, can you hear my voice?"

“…”

In a brief silence, the time in the room seemed to be infinitely stretched.

Outside the room, the special emergency attack troops were ready to go, and once any problems occurred in Sakai would start operations.

However, in this tense atmosphere.

"I heard it~"

A chuckle suddenly came from the other end of the microphone.

Even though I had expected it, Sakai still instinctively had goose bumps on his arm when he heard Keiko Watanabe's voice.

Trying to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, Sakai continued to speak according to the testimony of the bullied students of Horikawa High School and Takayama's previous actions in the video.

"Class Huizi, Huizi, please help me get revenge on the guy who bullied me..."

"Help me kill those who bully me, his name is Kojima Yoshihiko."

In the room, Sakai expressed the name he had prepared to the phone.

Yoshima Kojima, the protagonist who happened before at the gate of Horikawa High School, sparked huge social public opinion.

In order to cover up the impact of the incident caused by him, the official spent a lot of effort and even threw out some abandoned children to suppress the storm.

However, when transporting the red line turned by Yoshihiro Kojima to a military base in the suburbs of Kyoto, the research institute discovered an interesting thing.

Theoretically, after being wrapped in such a large number of red lines, there is no possibility of surviving the islands in it.

However, through the study of red lines, especially after scanning the red lines with electromagnetic waves, the research institute has come up with an amazing fact, that is, these seemingly motionless red lines are actually alive, and even within the inside, these red lines are constantly growing and moving in a rather slow way.

In particular, the scientists in charge of the research came to the astonishing conclusion that Yoshihiro Kojima is likely to be alive.

And these red lines are similar to the tentacles in the biological world, and they maintain the life characteristics of the island Yixiong.

Although, with current research, it is still impossible to figure out how the red line exists and how to ensure that the host Yoshihiro Kojima did not die in a series of states such as suffocation.

However, this conjecture alone is already amazing enough.

From the official hands, I got the first information that Kojima Yoshihiro could survive.

Sakai put it into his plan without thinking, and modified his original plan to turn the target on the phone from Keiko Watanabe himself, which should be for Kojima Yoshihiro.

That's right, Sakai's original plan was to target Keiko himself.

Trying to use this to cause chaos in the murderous mode of Huizi himself, thus rescuing the cabinet ministers who were deeply in crisis.

However, Sakai himself also understood that this desperate approach was too extreme after all.

Once it fails, the outcome will be a loss.

Therefore, the emergence of Kojima Yoshihiro became an opportunity.

“…”

When he heard the name that appeared in Sakaikou, Keiko on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Feeling the silent atmosphere, Sakai grabbed the microphone and began to sweat.

He hesitated in his heart whether he would take every gamble to report Haruko Watanabe's name.

Anyway, the current situation is so bad that it is.

“Okay~”

Just as Sakai was hesitating, Keiko on the phone chuckled again.

Hearing this, Sakai's breath that had been holding was finally relaxed a little. He looked at the phone that had been hung up in his hand and touched his forehead.
