What would you see when you opened the door after working hard for a whole day outside and being exhausted by your heavy work or studies when you returned to your own home?
Would it be your parents' affectionate greetings and a hot and fragrant dinner?
Would it be the gentle sniffing of a pet cat or a pair of slippers in its mouth?
Or would it be a young maid wearing a vacuum apron and shyly asking, "Do you want to eat first, or eat me first …?"
Cough cough, it seems that I've drifted away again. I have some self-respect. We shouldn't discriminate against our fellow otakus' dreams, even if the higher-ups say that it's impossible, even if most otakus won't even see a cat when they return home. They'll be faced with an empty and lonely house, a download computer that never turns off, and a huge pile of trash and used toilet paper … Cough cough, I have some self-respect again. I only care about being a black person. Where was I?
Yep, home is a special and warm word. It's a special place for everyone.
No matter when, when you close your door, you'll be cut off from the wind and rain of the outside world. From now until dawn, that's your own world in your heart.
No matter how hard it is outside, no matter how much criticism and pressure you receive, when you close your door at home, the wind and rain will pass.
A greeting, the fragrance of tea, or a warm rainbow-colored light will help the physically and mentally exhausted traveler return to his own rhythm.
Watching TV and slumping on the sofa, he chatted with his family, listened to their complaints, and also complained. In the process of relieving his fatigue, when he was about to fall asleep, he also had a warm feeling of "Didn't I work so hard for this moment?"
At this moment, Rorschach returned to the residence that the academy had prepared for him. He probably received the most pleasant surprise in history …?
"What pleasant surprise? How can it be nice to see a headless corpse when you open the door! Even if your academy doesn't give you maids, you can't give me a corpse! "
On this day, the tragic confession had already become an indelible dark memory in Roxia's memory. Roxia, who was physically and mentally exhausted, returned to his dorm. The moment he opened the door, he saw nothing but the blood-covered floor of the murder scene, as well as a headless corpse lying on the carpet.
"Forget about a maid, there's not even a cat. What the hell is with a dead person right at the start …? Wait, I can't panic now. This is a murder scene. I need to maintain the environment and wait for the professionals to arrive."
As an amateur author who had read detective novels, Rorschach instantly realized that something was wrong.
His dorm mate was lying in the room with his head missing. He was definitely dead.
"Amitabha, I've never seen my roommate before. I'm afraid I won't know what you look like for the rest of my life."
Rorschach bowed with both hands, as if he was helping the poor unlucky guy find peace. Then, he continued to search for clues in front of him.
All the windows were locked.
The main door was also locked before he used the key to enter.
The key. Only he and this dorm mate of his that he had never met before had the key. And his dorm mate's key … was in a pool of blood.
The other key, which was theoretically the only key that could open the secret chamber and kill the victim, was in Rorschach's hands.
"A murder happened in a secret room without a second person. Is this the legendary murder in a secret room? Heh heh, I've finally encountered a plot that only appears in detective novels … What the hell, I just started school, and there's already someone trying to kill me? "
The situation wasn't good, it was extremely bad.
In detective novels, those mystical detectives were always able to find bizarre and worthless ways to kill people. They were able to decipher the reasons used by those painfully bored murderers and come up with a painfully bored murder plot …
But in reality, the investigation agencies were highly efficient. They wouldn't hesitate to detain the greatest suspect.
The first discoverer would also be the greatest suspect. The truth might not always surface.
"Heh heh, only he and I can enter this room. He died inside. Then, there's only one truth. The murderer is … me!"
Since he still had the time to comment, it seemed that Rorschach wasn't too nervous … Wait, what was he doing? He took out a handkerchief and began to wipe away the footprints he left behind when he entered! As he wiped, he carefully retreated to the door and even took out the key to lock the door!
"Who wants to be the first discoverer and then become the first suspect! It's best for me to leave! "
Yes, that's right. Well done, Rorschach. Rorschach made the right choice.
Yep, he's starting to wipe the blood off his shoes with a handkerchief? Move faster, my clever little Rorschach. In this situation, it's best to erase all traces and leave!
But just as Rorschach was about to close the door, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.
"… Little Rorschach, don't be sad. Isabella didn't only reject you. Come, let's go drink with your brothers … I'll go!"
Karsi was such a good bro. He even knew how to comfort his "brokenhearted" little brother … What the hell!
At this moment, Rorschach was holding a key in one hand and a bloodstained handkerchief in the other. He looked at his astonished classmates and wanted to cry. He didn't know what to say.
From the angle at which the door was opened, one could see the headless corpse lying in a pool of blood. Roxia's fingers were still stained with blood from the handkerchief that had just dripped from the handkerchief.
There was only one explanation for this situation …
"You might not believe it, but he was the one who attacked first … and died first. Yep, he committed suicide. He died before I came in. Alright, no matter if you believe it or not, at least I believe it. "
Rorschach covered his face. He didn't know what to say anymore.
At this moment, Rorschach understood. It would seem that this was a premeditated trap.
What would happen next? Would he be sentenced to prison? From the moment he entered school, everything was connected. This was a trap, a trap that had been set for him to jump into.
"Rorschach, y-y-you …"
Karsi pointed at Rorschach with an expression of disbelief. The pitiful Rorschach was at his wit's end.
After watching several hundred episodes of Detective Conan, he already knew what would happen next.
Would he be killed by an assassin? Would he be sentenced to death by a judge who took a bribe? It would seem that this was a series of traps. The culprit behind his younger sister's death didn't intend to give him any chance at all.
Considering the fact that if he tried to escape, he would be killed on the spot. If he was arrested, he would probably have a chance. Rorschach helplessly gave up on resisting or escaping … Alright, it was mainly because he looked at his small body and calculated the difference in combat strength between himself and the other students. Giving up resistance and being captured was the only option. Otherwise, if the culprit behind this had a series of traps, they would be able to easily kill him.
In order to avoid being accidentally "broken", Rorschach loosened his clenched fists and looked up at the sky.
"Ah, the ceiling is really blue. My pitiful life is actually so short. I'm sorry, Lori. I didn't expect that your big brother would come to accompany you so soon. "
Rorschach had already mentally prepared himself for the worst possible outcome. However, Karsi's astonished question came from behind him.
"… Y-Y-You, how did you see through it? Lynn Stewart, your classic self-introduction has been seen through. Hurry up and run. "
What? Crawl? What the hell is this?
Rorschach turned around and a horrifying scene unfolded before his eyes.
That headless corpse groped around and crawled up. Karsi laughed and ran over to help him up.
"Let me introduce you. This is another student, the Headless Knight Lynn from the Xiluo Empire. He is also your new dorm mate. He accidentally lost his head again, so I can only introduce myself on his behalf. "
Un, Headless Knight? He even lost his head and was unable to speak? Very good, very impressive, very fantastical.
"Haha, it's funny, isn't it? This is the joke we keep to welcome the freshmen. It always receives good reviews. You're the first one to see through it. Eh, yep, yep, Lynn is asking if there's anything wrong with his feigning death technique. "
The headless Lynn clenched his right fist and placed it in front of his chest. He leaned forward slightly and performed a standard knight salute.
Oh, so it was all a joke. There was no murder at all. There was no mastermind behind it. It was just a joke to welcome the freshmen.
Rorschach, whose eyes were blank, raised his head and looked at the sky.
Ah. What a blue ceiling. In the morning, I was given a 3D gorilla card by a vampire. In the afternoon, the Headless Knight asked me for advice on feigning death. Later on, will an evil dragon come and exchange wrestling techniques with me … What kind of world is this!
"A joke to welcome the freshmen? This joke isn't funny at all! Bastards! Is it fun to bully a country bumpkin? I'll fight it out with you! "
