Chapter 084: The Girl in the Painting, Exquisite and Cold
The next moment,
Otaku reached out to the side of the door to search for the light switch, and with a "click," the switch was turned on.
Swish!
A sudden sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
Otaku froze, his eyes wide in shock, staring at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him. He was completely paralyzed, unable to dodge in time.
Bang...
A chair was thrown, but it missed and crashed heavily to the floor, making a muffled thud.
"Lin, Lin-kun, thank you,"
Otaku, drenched in cold sweat, looked at the chair in front of him. If it hadn't been for Lin Ye pulling him away just now, he would have either been dead or severely injured!
"What are you doing? Do you want to kill me? Kyozaki, weren't you killed by the strange woman? Have you become a strange being too?"
After shouting twice, Otaku took a few steps back, his face full of caution as he stared at Kyozaki.
"Heh."
"Lin-kun, be careful. This guy is likely a strange being,"
Otaku warned.
"Heh, so now you're trying to frame me as a strange being?"
Kyozaki sneered twice.
"Well, it's true, the bad guys always accuse others first. After all, you pushed me toward the strange woman by the shoe cabinet earlier, trying to buy time to escape. But unfortunately, the strange woman didn't go after me; she went after you, the selfish one. Just like she dealt with your friend first."
"That's nonsense, don't talk nonsense,"
Otaku cursed.
"Haha, so you've been exposed, now you're embarrassed? Chiharu, stay away from him. He could kill you at any moment."
Chiharu, the blonde woman, subconsciously stepped a few steps away from Otaku.
Otaku tried to explain, but Kyozaki spoke first.
"I advise you to give up on this trash, who might push the people around him to strange beings at any moment. You're strong, so you won't be hurt, but the girl beside you may not be so lucky."
He looked at Ryou Fujibayashi, making her feel a bit tense and uncomfortable.
"How could I hurt Lin-kun's woman? But how have you survived until now? Why are you here in the art classroom?"
Otaku raised a question.
It's normal to encounter Kyozaki alive anywhere in the school building, but encountering him in the art classroom was definitely suspicious and worth thinking about.
"Heh, of course, it's because of this."
Kyozaki reached into his pocket and immediately pulled out a note.
"Where... did you get this from?"
Otaku exclaimed.
Besides the shoe cabinet and the F-Class seat, was there another place with notes?
"Of course, it's from the shoe cabinet. There was another note inside. You didn't even take this important clue with you? You wasted the time you pushed me into, but in the end, you got nothing. You really don't care about anything just to escape, haha, trash."
Kyozaki is mocking laughter grew louder.
"I took the books and notes. They're all with Lin-kun."
Otaku quickly defended himself.
"Oh, you didn't deny pushing me. Now, do you understand?"
Kyozaki is gaze landed on Lin Ye.
"This is between you two. If you want revenge, I won't stop you."
Lin Ye's words made Otaku feel a chill in his heart. Was he being abandoned?
He was unwilling to accept it!
"But, wait until we successfully leave here alive,"
Lin Ye pointed to the text on the note Kyozaki had handed over,
"It should mean no one should die. I suspect that if someone dies, her power will grow stronger."
The four notes had almost completed the missing information from the first notes.
A place used two notes with different but consistent information to reduce interference and provide more useful information.
That was a good method,
But why not place three, four, or even all versions of the notes as clues?
Lin Ye couldn't help but think.
Now, with Lin Ye's statement, the conflict temporarily stopped.
The four of them entered the art classroom.
One by one, incandescent lights emitted a white light, illuminating the empty art classroom.
On the walls, paintings were hung: an oil painting of Mount Fuji, a landscape of blooming cherry blossoms, and in the middle, a portrait of a young girl.
At a glance,
All their gazes were drawn to that portrait.
The gentle wind blew, the sheer curtains fluttered, and a girl with long black hair gazed out the window, leaving only an exquisite and beautiful side profile.
Lin Ye recognized her,
The female lead of the movie, the beautiful girl with straight black hair, also the strange woman who had turned the school building into a bloodstained nightmare.
"She's so beautiful."
Ryou Fujibayashi couldn't help but admire.
Even as a girl, she couldn't help but praise her beauty.
"Exactly like the photo. It truly restored her stunning looks and aura. The details are amazing, the nose, mouth, and especially her eyes, they perfectly capture her cold expression. The guy who painted this must have really liked her!"
Ryou Fujibayashi, though not an artist, couldn't help but comment on the painting. Her words were a bit lacking, but she still praised the skill behind the painting.
"Don't touch it."
As Ryou Fujibayashi subconsciously reached out, a voice suddenly stopped her.
It was Kyozaki.
"Don't mess with the things here. Who knows what kind of changes it might trigger."
"Sorry, sorry,"
Ryou Fujibayashi quickly apologized.
"You came here earlier than us. Have you found anything?"
Lin Ye directly asked Kyozaki.
Kyozaki shook his head.
"After I came here, I turned on the lights at first, then turned them off and hid here. I didn't search the art classroom. But the strange woman, called Kuroshima, has never come here. I think this place should be safe. We can stay here until dawn."
So after escaping to the art classroom, he just hid here?
Chiharu, Kyozaki is girlfriend, felt an inexplicable discomfort.
Her boyfriend was hiding here but hadn't even thought about coming to hide with her.
She was angry.
Wasn't it because she chose Lin Ye back then? She did it for her own safety, and also for his sake! If they encountered the strange woman together, what if he had to turn back to save her?
By staying by Lin Ye's side, she had completely avoided this problem. Kyozaki could have focused on escaping and saving himself without worrying about her.
She did this for Kyozaki is sake, to reduce his burden, but now Kyozaki was hiding here by himself to survive.
It was truly despicable.
He didn't deserve to be her boyfriend!
Once they got back, she would break up with him.
"Search around for anything unusual. If you find something strange, don't touch it."
After Lin Ye said this, Ryou Fujibayashi and the others began to move.
Only Kyozaki stood still, looking uninterested.
Lin Ye didn't force him. If he didn't want to do something, then he didn't have to.
