Chapter 62: Chapter 62. Visit

Beichuan Si walked to a deserted spot, pulled Nishijou Kurenai from his scarf, and said with a serious face,

"Kurenai, can you really get me in there?"

Nishijou Kurenai did not speak; instead, she stretched out her hand and grasped Beichuan Si’s palm.

Under her guidance, a stream of information filled with her thoughts was transmitted.

"So, you can control the machines used by the moderators of those two paranormal forums to pick lucky guests through a special magnetic field on your body?"

Beichuan Si was slightly surprised.

He had originally thought Nishijou Kurenai was just a simple young girl like Beichuan Huili, yet unexpectedly, she possessed such an ability.

Of course, Nishijou Kurenai’s control ability couldn’t compare to that of a professional hacker; she could only simply influence some simple mechanical structures.

If the other party were to bring over a large computer for the on-site draw, then there was nothing Nishijou Kurenai could do, and Beichuan Si would have to find another suitable opportunity to enter Xucha High School.

Nevertheless, Nishijou Kurenai’s ability was still very useful.

If successful, he could find an excuse to break away from the forum moderators and explore on his own.

Beichuan Si tucked her back into the thick scarf, then turned back to look once more at the crowd of young people at Xucha High School.

These energetic youths, appearing as if there was no outlet for their vigor, were discussing tonight’s live broadcast program with flushed faces.

Xucha High School, a place swirling with rumors all over the internet.

At this moment, these paranormal enthusiasts might finally glimpse its secrets.

How could they not be excited inside?

Beichuan Si withdrew his gaze.

It seemed that the two paranormal forum moderators wouldn’t be arriving anytime soon, and there were so many spectators here.

Continuing to stay here was pointless for him.

After all, if Nishijou Kurenai failed tonight, then he would just wait for these two moderators to finish and come by later.

But...

"If something really happens..." Beichuan Si looked again at the abandoned Xucha High School.

If these two paranormal forum moderators actually encountered an accident inside and the police were called, that wouldn’t be fun at all.

By then, the area around Xucha High School might even be cordoned off.

Beichuan Si pondered over this issue for a while but ultimately shook his head and gave up on it.

’If Kurenai’s ability doesn’t work, then I’ll just sneak into Xucha High School from some corner. It’s already deep into the night by ten o’clock, moving quickly should ensure that no one sees me.’

He made up his mind, then added the live stream channel of those people on YouTube to his phone and set up notification alerts before striding away from the place.

Since he couldn’t go to Xucha High School now, the only other thing he had to do was the other matter.

Visiting a former teacher at Xucha High School!

As mentioned earlier, today was the day Beichuan Si had agreed to meet that former Xucha High School teacher.

The teacher, named Mr. Sato, was a male, unmarried, who lived alone in an apartment in Yashan City after his retirement.

At this moment, Beichuan Si was walking according to the location marked on the electronic map sent by him.

This Mr. Sato, feeling guilty about the fire incident at Xucha High School back then, believed that as the teacher on duty, he was partly at fault for not hearing the students’ cries for help in time.

But in reality, the fire in Senior Year 2B class flared up very quickly, showing clear signs of arson. It took Mr. Sato just five or six minutes to respond to the cries and run there, only to find the Senior Year 2B class already engulfed in flames.

The flames were too intense, deforming the steel layer wrapped around the classroom door, making it impossible to open. Those inside couldn’t get out, and those outside couldn’t enter. After making the call to the fire department, he could only listen to the students’ wails.

Such a hellish scene was unbearable for any teacher.

"It should be here." Beichuan Si put away his phone and looked at the apartment building in front of him.

This apartment building looked very dilapidated, with only a single staircase for access, which seemed to be the only entry and exit point.

It had two floors with a slanted roof.

Faint black marks stained the old lime walls, and on the second-floor concrete railing, a row of withered potted plants was positioned.

The rundown appearance made Beichuan Si involuntarily frown.

A place like this wouldn’t be chosen by anyone with the slightest financial flexibility.

It was also evident from this that Sato Ryosuke’s post-retirement life wasn’t much better.

No wonder, since Sato Ryosuke was from the infamous Xucha High School and might have been forcibly dismissed before his contract ended. In Japan, there’s a notion that ’retirement before the end of the contract term reduces the pension,’ so his increasingly difficult life was inevitable.

However, during the phone conversation with him, Beichuan Si could still feel Sato Ryosuke’s undiminished passion.

Sato Ryosuke resided in apartment 265, situated in the innermost part with the worst lighting.

Judging by the external environment alone, how good could the conditions of the innermost apartment be?

Beichuan Si shook his head, adjusted his scarf, and confirmed his appearance was still presentable before walking up the stairs and stopping in front of apartment 265.

Knock knock knock.

He knocked on the standard security door of the apartment and waited outside for a while.

The door didn’t open, as if there was no one inside at all.

"...?" Beichuan Si.

The air was silent; the already isolated apartment 265 seemed to plunge into an even deeper darkness.

Something clearly wasn’t right; a foreboding feeling grew stronger in Beichuan Si’s mind.

From deep within the room ahead came a faint, almost imperceptible scent of blood!

"Mr. Sato!"

Bang bang bang!

Beichuan Si couldn’t help but slap the security door forcefully, the loud noise quickly drawing the displeasure of a neighbor.

Soon, a tall, skinny middle-aged man opened his door, looking over with an impatient expression,

"What are you making all that noise for? Even if you weren’t so loud, Sato could hear you! I remember him bringing a young woman into his home yesterday, tsk tsk, they’re probably not up yet, huh?"

The middle-aged man said mockingly.

"A young woman?" Beichuan Si paused in his actions, his cold gaze shifting over,

"What young woman? Name? Appearance? What do you know about her?"

He approached the tall middle-aged man, his voice chilling.

"I..." The middle-aged man appeared annoyed, initially intending to dismiss Beichuan Si and have him leave, but he faltered under Beichuan Si’s icy stare, and his voice started to stutter.

"I-I don’t know, Sato was just with that woman yesterday... I haven’t seen him bring anyone else around normally..."

"What did this woman look like?"

"...It was too dark, I didn’t get a clear look... She wasn’t very tall and was carrying a large travel bag."

The icy gaze from Beichuan Si made the tall man’s scalp tingle, and after swallowing nervously, he continued speaking.
