When Qi Ming walked out of the classroom, his face was as white as a sheet.
"How is it? Did you find her? "
Seeing her come up to him, Misaki asked. Miaki hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, the deceased is … Teacher Miaki Miaki."
"This is really a blind spot."
Staring at the name list in her hand, Misaki stretched out her finger and stroked Miaki Miaki's name. She couldn't help but frown. Strictly speaking, she was misled. In the list given to her by Chen Zhi Qian, all the deceased in the past 20 years were confirmed to be students, so Misaki initially looked for the deceased according to the students.
She didn't expect the deceased to be a teacher this time.
Thinking about it carefully, the deceased appeared randomly from the accidental deaths in the past few years. There were teachers and students among them. If the students could come back, the teacher could naturally come back too.
"What are you going to do?"
Miaki Miaki looked at Misaki uneasily and asked in a low voice. She now knew that Misaki was the exorcist who was invited to solve the curse of Year 3 Class 3, but she still didn't know what he was going to do.
"It's simple. Let the deceased return to her original state."
"Do you want to … kill her?"
Although she had a hunch, hearing Misaki's answer still made Miaki Miaki's heart skip a beat.
"I'm not asking us to do it."
Misaki shook her head, then looked at Miaki Miaki and asked.
"Do you know why accidents and deaths kept happening in Year 3 Class 3 after one more person died?"
"… … …"
Miaki Miaki shook her head. She was not an expert. In fact, the students of Year 3 Class 3 were not familiar with this.
"Simply put, the world has sensed the distortion, so it wants to return the world to its original state. For example, there was a man who was destined to be struck to death by lightning, but he very cunningly hid in a group of people and curled himself up into a ball. This way, the lightning couldn't hit him, but would hit those who were standing taller …. "
Misaki spread her hands and shrugged.
"So, in fact, the entire Year 3 Class 3 is the lightning rod for the deceased. Do you understand now?"
"Is that so?"
Hearing Zhui's reply, Qi Ming was dumbfounded. She had never thought that the truth would be like this.
"That's right, so this isn't some vengeful spirit causing mischief, nor is it a curse. It's just that the world simply wants to return to normal."
At this point, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the Three Gods teacher who walked out of the classroom.
"So what we need to do is not to kill her. That won't solve the problem. What we need to do is to let the world find her … It's that simple. "
Now, all he had to do was wait for the right time.
At the same time, Crimson was strolling alone in the deep mountains.
"Hmm … It should be around here …"
Looking at the map in her hand, Crimson frowned and muttered to herself. Following the clues left by the kimono, she successfully found a place called Aishin Village. If Crimson's guess was right, that place should be her maternal great-grandmother's hometown.
However, it wasn't easy to find the village. In fact, there was no sign of the village on the map, and no one knew anything about Full God Village. If it weren't for Crimson's ability to read memories, it would have been difficult for her to find this place.
But after entering this place, Crimson lost her sense of direction. After all, this was a deep forest, and it was said that this place was going to be flooded to make a dam, so there was no one here anymore.
"Let's try again."
While muttering to herself, Crimson stretched out her hand and placed it on the ground. Then, she closed her eyes. Soon, the surrounding scenery began to turn black and white, and everything that had happened here reappeared in Crimson's mind.
But at this moment, Crimson Chick heard a voice in her ears.
"Sister! Wait for me! "
Along with the cry, Crimson saw two young girls running toward her one after another on a forest path not far away. They wore white kimonos and looked about the same age as her. The two young ladies ran forward as though they were avoiding something.
Then, the two of them vanished into the forest before Crimson's eyes.
"That's Great Grandmother's kimono. Seems like it's this way!"
Crimson retracted her hand and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she stood up hurriedly and headed in the direction she saw in the illusion.
However, the moment Crimson followed the illusory path into the forest, everything around her suddenly changed.
"Huh?"
Crimson raised her head and looked around in surprise. The bright sunlight had completely disappeared, the clear sky had become pitch-black, and only a dim full moon was hanging in the sky. It was still morning, but in the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
"Sure enough …"
Perhaps the others would have been terrified by this scene, but Crimson was experienced. Back then, when she entered the ice room, it was the same. According to Mi's explanation, the miasma sealed off the entire space and isolated this place from the outside world, which was why this place fell into eternal darkness.
"Phew …"
Crimson took in a deep breath, raised the phone that Mi gave her, and pressed the button. Soon, a pure radiance emerged from the edge of the phone, illuminating the path ahead.
"I didn't expect Sister Mi to make something so convenient … Will all phones become like this in the future?"
Looking at the image that appeared on the screen, Crimson couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Phones in this era were only handheld phones, but the phone that Mi gave Crimson was made entirely in the style of a smartphone. Apart from the five pieces of the Divine Mirror Fragment from the ice room, the touchscreen was made of polished crystal, and the core part was enchanted by Mi using the technology of the Semriya continent. If the Crimson Fledgling was attacked, it would automatically activate the conductive magic inside to protect the Crimson Fledgling.
Apart from that, the flashlight of Crimson's phone didn't emit ordinary light, but holy light. Not only that, but it could also detect evil spirits in the surroundings. If an evil spirit approached, the Crimson Young Daisy's phone would start to vibrate, alerting the owner …. Well, it could be said that this was a seemingly scientific thing, but in fact, it was completely unscientific.
"That's it."
At the same time, Crimson also saw the lights not far away. If that was the case, it was obviously just an ordinary village.
But Crimson knew that it wasn't that simple.
Thinking of this, Crimson clenched the phone and walked in the direction of the lights.
Hayabusa did not know that Hidaka Crimson had already embarked on a new adventure. She was still waiting for the right time to completely eliminate the dead Piko Trisakami …. This was not an easy task, because the timing of the Heavenly Axiom's "anti-virus" was random. Hayabusa had to take advantage of the time when the Heavenly Axiom was activated to insert the Kaguyagami Sensei into the body of Yagami Sensei. Only then could Heavenly Axiom successfully destroy the target it was supposed to destroy.
Only in this way would the Will program that completed the mission return to the right track. If Mi killed her directly, at most, the number of people in the class would return to normal, and the same thing would happen again next year. At that time, the Will program would start again …. There was no end to it.
After confirming the target, Sora also carefully observed Miko Yagami. She had to admit that the "mistake" caused by this distortion was really troublesome. If it wasn't for Aki confirming that Piko Mikami was "dead", and if Mi hadn't followed the clues to the news of Piko Mikami's accidental death a year and a half ago, she wouldn't have been able to tell that Piko Mikami was a dead person no matter how she looked at it.
Indeed, sometimes Miko Yagami's behavior was quite strange, and her behavior was also very strange, but considering that she was a teacher of Class 3-3, it was not unreasonable for her to have some strange behavior under heavy pressure. In addition, when Mi used "Detect Undead" or even "Vision of Truth", she still couldn't see through Piko Mikami's true appearance. She had to admit that anything that involved the distortion of the world's laws was not so easy to deal with.
Finally, under Mi's patience, that day finally arrived.
It was a dark and gloomy afternoon.
Since the morning, the air had been quite oppressive and heavy, and it had been raining cats and dogs. Mi sat in the classroom, thinking while staring at Piko Mikami, who was giving a lecture in front of her. In fact, she had a rather bad feeling, as if something was about to happen …
"Rumble —!!!"
Just as Hou was cautiously surveying his surroundings, a sudden clap of thunder rang out. At the same time, the earth began to tremble slightly.
Noticing this, the students were also quite surprised.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
"Earthquake?"
"Hey, look over there!!"
However, just when everyone was confused, Akazawa Izumi suddenly jumped up and pointed outside the window with her eyes wide open. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and then they were horrified to find that on the back of the mountain outside the window, a torrent of muddy water was pouring down, rushing towards the school!
"Not good, it's a mudslide!"
"Get out of here!"
Seeing this scene, the students immediately screamed. However, before they could even run out of the classroom, the landslide had already broken through the walls and was heading straight for the students of Class 3-3.
'F * ck, is Tendo really going all out this time?!'
Seeing this scene, Mi was also shocked. Although she had considered the possibility that Tendo would increase the intensity of the Tendo's "anti-virus" operation because she had repeatedly stopped it, it seemed like Tendo was going to wipe out the entire Class 3-3 in one fell swoop!
'There's no other way!'
Thinking of this, Mi did not hesitate. She stretched out her right hand and grabbed the Frostmourne that appeared out of thin air. Gripping the hilt tightly, she stabbed the sword into the ground!
"Boom!!!"
In an instant, the howling ice turned into a thick wall, blocking the roaring mudslide and completely separating them from the students of Class Three, Year Three. Mi, on the other hand, held the greatsword tightly and let out a sigh of relief.
"Haru-Haruhino? You're … "
At this moment, the students who were still in a state of shock finally came back to their senses. They looked at the girl in front of them, the greatsword in her hand, and the thick ice wall in front of them in shock. They were completely dumbfounded.
'What's going on?
'Am I dreaming?'
"Akazawa! Evacuate with everyone immediately, I can't hold them off for long! "
"Ah, okay, I got it!!"
At this moment, Akazawa Izumi heard Mi's call and reacted. She hurriedly led everyone out of the classroom and out of the teaching building. After confirming that they had left, Mi pulled out her greatsword and leaped out of the window before the mudslide broke through the ice wall. She landed on the ground and met up with the students of Class 3-3 who had just run out of the teaching building.
"Haruhino, what's going on?"
"The curse has leveled up. Everyone, be careful. I think it's planning to wipe us all out in one fell swoop!"
At the same time, as if confirming Mi's warning, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently. The students who had just walked out of the teaching building collapsed to the ground. At the same time, bolts of lightning whistled down and struck the students on the field.
'What the hell, you're still using continuous attacks?'
This time, Mi did not hide anymore. She gripped Frostmourne tightly and pointed it forward. Soon, the ground cracked, and an ice wall rose from the ground, enveloping everyone inside. At the same time, a roaring river gushed out from outside the school gate and rushed into the school. It crashed into the ice wall and returned empty-handed.
"What, what the hell is going on?"
The students of Class 3-3 were dumbfounded by the changes in front of them. They could not react in time at all. Bolts of lightning were still crashing down, striking the school in front of them. On the other side, the roaring water was crashing against the city wall, trying to drown it completely.
"Haruhino, what do we do now?"
She saw that Aki was also frightened, but compared to the others, she knew Mi's true identity, so she quickly came to her senses and asked.
"You guys stay here."
Mi sighed and looked at Aki, Akazawa Izumi, and Yukari Sakuragi.
"I'll solve this problem. As for how I'm going to solve it … you can ask Aki."
After saying that, Mi turned around and looked at Piko Yagami not far away. She had also run out with the students and was now comforting them. Obviously, she didn't know that she was the culprit behind all of this.
Thinking of this, Misato shook his head and walked to Piko's side.
"Teacher Yagami, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Please come with me."
After saying that, Hayashi turned around and left. Although Piko was a little puzzled, she still followed behind Hayashi. Then the two left the hall and went to the balcony next to it. At this moment, the storm was still raging. Hayashi walked to the balcony and just looked at Piko without saying a word.
"… Haruhino? What are you trying to say? "
Piko Yagami looked a little uneasy when she saw Mi staring at her. Mi sighed.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Yagami, but … the world has its own rules. The dead … should return to where they belong."
"Huh?"
Piko Yagami's face turned pale when she heard this. At the same time, Mi instantly took out the hairpin that she used to pull the hair of the whole class out of her pocket and put it in her pocket. Then, she turned around and walked out of the balcony, closing the door behind her.
"What are you doing, Haruhino?!!"
Piko Yagami did not react until the balcony door was slammed shut. She rushed to the window and shouted. Mi stared at her and took a step back.
"Rest in peace, Teacher Yagami."
At the same time, thunder boomed again.
Purple lightning fell from the sky and struck Piko Yagami on the balcony. A dazzling light suddenly erupted. Piko Yagami did not even have the chance to scream before she fell to the ground.
At the same time, Mi heard the sound from deep space again.
"Kacha."
She looked up and saw that the strange millstone-like thing that enveloped the town of Mount Yagami was gradually dissipating. At the same time, the violent storm also slowly subsided.
The original deceased had died, and order had returned to normal. The anti-virus program had completed its mission and began to automatically shut down.
Seeing this, Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This inexplicable and troublesome mission was finally solved.
