Chapter 415: Chapter 283. I Was Wrong (Final Additional Update for Alliance Leader Ji Xuan)_2

But that was obviously impossible.

This diary belonged to his late wife, and it might have recorded some of their marital privacy. How could anyone be magnanimous enough to hand such a diary over to Beichuan Si?

That was why Beichuan Si decided not to return the diary to Shan Yuanmu.

"Besides the matters concerning the Shan Yuan family, there’s something else... I wonder if that person has finished the investigation..." Beichuan Si opened the front door and stepped inside.

Recently, Shen Gu Mirai seemed to be busy dealing with documents and hadn’t found the time to help.

Since it was difficult for her to assist with this matter, Beichuan Si hadn’t bothered her.

"Brother Temple," Beichuan Hui Li greeted Beichuan Si, who had just come home.

"Yes, I’ll come down to cook in a bit, wait a little longer," Beichuan Si responded calmly, holding the diary as he ascended the stairs.

Going upstairs into his room, Beichuan Si didn’t immediately start going through the diary but instead logged into his social media account.

To be precise, the North River Divine Support Association’s social media account.

As said before, the Beichuan Divine Society had believers at Sacred Heart Girls’ High School, and the information regarding Shan Yuanmu Yuzi was provided to Qiuxiao Yunai by one of the believers, who then passed it on to Beichuan Si.

This time, Beichuan Si had asked the believer to investigate something quite simple.

It was about the two urban legends Shan Yuanmu Yuzi mentioned.

The Laughing Clown and The Loft That Couldn’t be Reached.

Did these two urban legends really exist at Sacred Heart Girls’ High School? And if they did, what stories lay behind them.

He had tasked the believer to look into this, and just as Qiuxiao Yunai had called earlier, she said the investigation on the legends was concluded and prompted him to check the social media account for the results.

Beichuan Si logged in and clicked on the direct message tab, indeed finding the document left by Qiuxiao Yunai.

After downloading the file, he opened it and scanned through.

This believer must be a loyal fan of the Beichuan Divine Society, for her research was meticulous, questioning not just junior students but also senior ones.

However, her research concluded with—

Nothing.

Yes.

The prestigious and well-conducted Sacred Heart Girls’ High School wouldn’t let such baseless urban legends spread around, plus with students generally having higher standards and stricter self-discipline than average high school students, the likelihood of such rumors emerging was greatly reduced.

"Though it’s curious that a girls’ school with a strong religious belief also has faith in the Beichuan Divine Society," Beichuan Si shook his head.

After shaking his head, Beichuan Si naturally began to ponder.

If, as the believer said, Sacred Heart Girls’ High School didn’t have urban legends like ’The Laughing Clown’ or ’The Loft That Couldn’t be Reached,’ then from where had Shan Yuanmu Yuzi heard those stories?

Could she have made them up herself?

If it was Shan Yuanmu Yuzi herself who had crafted them, what was she trying to convey?

The Laughing Clown... if it was referring to Shan Yuanmu Yuzi herself, then what did ’The Loft That Couldn’t be Reached’ signify?

Deciding to commit suicide by jumping off a building, one watched as the other fell, followed by a piercing laugh... Vows turning into curses...

Beichuan Si continued reading.

A line of text caught his eye.

"Aikawa... in charge of high school piano music classes... gentle demeanor, impeccable piano skills, handsome appearance, very popular among the school’s female students... This person does exist in reality."

Since he was a real person, Beichuan Si could find time to meet with this handsome male teacher and casually discuss matters concerning Shan Yuanmu Yuzi.

Depending on Aikawa’s response, Beichuan Si had many ways to approach the conversation.

"There’s also the matter of Shan Yuanmu Yuzi renting an apartment. I’ve obtained the address; the key issue is when to go check it out..." Beichuan Si’s expression shifted slightly.

He could arrange to do that after meeting with Aikawa, possibly in the afternoon.

What secrets did that apartment hide, and what did Aikawa know... Beichuan Si was actually quite looking forward to it.

"After that, it’s about delving into Shan Yuanmu Yuzi’s psychic world. Find the hidden true self, and Hui Li’s university admission will be secured."

Beichuan Si had already planned out everything.

All that remained was to execute the plans one by one.

Before that...

Beichuan Si looked at the Beichuan God community chat page, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

Taking a quick glance at the North River Divine Support Association should be no big deal, right?

Having heard that Shen Gu Mirai had recently gotten involved in the management, he figured he could probably relax if it was her.

With that thought in mind, he gripped the mouse firmly and clicked without hesitation into the chat channel of the North River Divine Support Association.

And the first thing he saw was—

Mirai: Beichuan God is invincible in this world!!!!

The bold, black text dominated most of the screen, making Beichuan Si’s eyebrows jump.

And also...

Mirai?

The familiar ID made Beichuan Si’s thoughts flicker.

Below was a flurry of similar comments: ’Beichuan God is invincible in this world’, ’Beichuan God is number one in the world’, ’Beichuan God, be my boyfriend’.

These comments made Beichuan Si scratch his head involuntarily.

What was all of this?

Yet upon closer inspection, he noticed that the North River Divine Support Association was indeed missing quite a few things.

Things like the perennially pinned topic ’What color underwear does Beichuan God like to wear?’... It seemed to have been deleted.

To be honest, it was that very topic that had made Beichuan Si frown in the first place.

A bunch of little girls discussing what color underwear he liked to wear?

Wasn’t there something slightly inappropriate about that?

But it was much better now, the new pinned topic was ’In your eyes, is Beichuan God truly invincible or simply the best?’

Although being the best and invincible seemed similar, it was far more acceptable than those discussions about what Beichuan Si liked to eat, what color underwear he preferred, what kind of girls he liked... those topics were far more normal.

As Beichuan Si was contemplating, the admin Mirai sent another message—

’Beichuan God, number one in the world!!!’

Below was another barrage of similar comments, the entire scene like a fervent celebration of heretical believers.

"This Mirai, couldn’t be Mirai, could it?"

It was no wonder Beichuan Si thought so, after all, the Romanized spelling of Mirai from Shen Gu Mirai was Mirai.

If it really was her—

Beichuan Si took out his phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and made a call to Shen Gu Mirai.

This time, the call took quite a while to connect.

And the moment the call connected, the previously active admin Mirai also fell temporarily silent.

From the other end of the phone came Shen Gu Mirai’s somewhat flustered voice:

"Hello? Mr. Temple? Why are you suddenly calling me?"

"..." Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si glanced at the screen, listened to Shen Gu Mirai’s words, and after a pause said, "You didn’t expect me to call you at this time, did you?"

"Yeah—aren’t you meeting with Shan Yuanmu Yuzi’s father to investigate? What time is it...eh? How is it this late already?!" Shen Gu Mirai sounded surprised, like those group members who flood the chat without realizing it’s already past 1 AM.

"It is quite late. How have you been? How’s the progress with the Beichuan Divine Society’s data organization?" Beichuan Si countered.

But then Shen Gu Mirai suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, she resignedly stammered out in a small voice, "I-I know you must’ve seen what I said in the community chat channel, Mr. Temple...otherwise, you wouldn’t be asking about this. I’m sorry, I was wrong, I won’t do it again."

This little girl was truly cunning.

Beichuan Si had initially planned to trap her in her own words, or wait for Shen Gu Mirai to act tough, but Mirai had simply caved?

This was truly—
