“Today is the last day.”

In Endo's room.

When he heard Shimada's experience last night's description, Endo in front of him made a reminder in an extremely calm tone.

"What?"

Hearing Endo's words, Shimada's expression was a little surprised.

But soon he realized, and the expression on his face became paler.

"You mean..."

Nodded, Endo looked at Shimada in front of him: "The other party crawled into your room and delivered the last suicide note. This means that today is the last day mentioned in the suicide note. 'I, Shimada' is destined to die."

"No, I don't believe it."

Opposite, Endo explained everything in a nearly cold voice.

However, Shimada's face was filled with excitement.

"This is just a suicide note. Perhaps the other party is a perverted lunatic. Just call the police and arrest him. Why, why did I encounter such a thing?"

Shimada is just an ordinary high school student. Facing the threat of life and death, collapse is not something that is too surprising.

“…”

In the room, Endo watched all this coldly.

He looked at Shimada, who was covering his head and looking desperate, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Shida, you have your phone number."

But just as Shimada was on the verge of despair, Endo's mother knocked on the door from outside the room.

Pushing open the door, she looked at Shimada with a desperate look and Endo who was watching coldly, and her face couldn't help but look surprised.

After Endo's mother's disturbance, Shimada did not collapse after all.

He breathed heavily, suppressing his chaotic emotions, then he looked at Endo's mother outside the door and asked with a pale smile.

"Whose phone number is Endo's mother?"

"This is not very clear."

Seeing Endo's mood gradually stabilized, Endo's mother's face was less worried, and she shook her head and replied.

"Anyway, the other party named him and said he was looking for you, and he should be someone who is familiar with you, or maybe his family members."

Hearing Endo's mother's answer, Shimada went downstairs with some confusion in his heart.

"Hey, I'm Shimada..."

When he arrived at the phone, he took a deep breath before reaching out to pick up the microphone.

"Escape!"

However, as Shimada answered the phone, a rapid sound came from the microphone.

"The person you see is not the real Endo!"

...

"Officer Sakai, everything you want should be here."

Horikawa High School.

Taking Sakai to a slightly old library, the principal pointed to the books and materials on the bookshelf and explained carefully.

"This is a library library belonging to the old school building. After the new teaching building was built, the teacher in charge of sorting moved most of the books to the library of the new teaching building. Most of the books that were not related to teaching or have been eliminated were not included in the old school building. Some of them were isolated books left since the beginning of the school building. During the school anniversary a few years ago, the school was originally planning to find the history of Horikawa High School, but because of some accidents, it was not completed. It was just sorted out and placed separately in the library of the old school building..."

In the library, while listening to the principal's introduction, Sakai's eyes swept over the books with obvious historical atmosphere on the bookshelf.

Previously, from "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes", he had noticed some unusual descriptions of Horikawa High School.

However, the "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes" records the rumors in Kyoto, and the content of Horikawa High School is only the female corpse.

If Sakai wants more detailed records about Horikawa High School, he can only start with the school itself.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Principal."

Nodded and said to the principal beside him. Sakai immediately withdrew his gaze and put it back on the books in the library.

"So, Officer Sakai, if I hadn't had anything to do with me, would I allow me to leave first? Regarding what happened at Horikawa High School, I also need to report to the school's board of directors."

Looking at Sakai who was flipping through books in front of him, the principal hesitated for a while and gritted his teeth and said.

There was such a big thing happening in Horikawa High School, so he naturally needed to report it to the board of directors.

Facing the principal's request, Sakai did not answer, but nodded to agree to his request.

"Then please, Officer Sakai."

After receiving permission, the principal breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed to Sakai in the library and thanked him, and then hurriedly left the old school building.

In the library, with the principal's departure.

The entire library of the old school building fell into silence again.

But in this quiet library, Sakai was focused on the books in his hand.

Although the principal mentioned that most of the information has been moved to the library of the new teaching building, there are still many books left in the old school building. If it were not for the school anniversary, the school had sorted it out in advance. Sakai alone wanted to find useful information for investigation from these books, that would be to find a needle in a haystack.

Flip the pages in your hand and look at the content recorded above.

Soon, Sakai found some information that was useful to him.

According to the book "Horikawa Ancient Records" in his hand, since ancient times, the theory of ghosts and monsters has seemed to be popular in this area of ​​Horikawa. The earliest strange story about Horikawa was in the Edo period. It is said that Horikawa often had many murders due to the rampant ghosts. The people living here at that time were very uneasy, so they raised money to invite Onmyoji to deal with it. After Onmyoji eliminated the ghosts, Horikawa's theory of ghosts gradually dispersed.

Regarding the murder of ghosts and monsters, due to historical reasons, Sakai cannot tell whether it is really all done by ghosts or that someone lies with ghosts after killing them.

However, from "Horikawa Ancient Book", we can see that Horikawa has had some special nature since the Edo period.

Perhaps, those Onmyojis destroyed the ghosts of the time, or the ghosts disappeared for some reason.

But, for another unknown reason, they are back again.

After closing the "Horikawa Ancient Story" in his hand, Sakai began to search for the content of the next book without stopping.

The books and materials compiled by Horikawa High School are very complicated, and not all of them are useful for Sakai's investigation. In short, after reading several useless materials, he finally saw several records about Horikawa High School in a book called "History of Dissertations".
Chapter completed!
