Chapter 342

He couldn't reach her; she was out of range of communication.

Could it be that, just as Rumi Tsurumi said, Kyou Fujibayashi had already had an accident and been taken away?

"Tell me all the intelligence you know,"

"It's useless, big brother, you have no way to save her, and you actually don't need to worry about Teacher Kyou Fujibayashi's life safety. Generally speaking, she will return after two or three days."

"Are you sure?"

But Rumi Tsurumi thought for a moment and shook her head. "Two other teachers had similar experiences before; they disappeared for two days and then came out, only their mental state was quite bad, and they had suffered trauma."

In other words, if he did nothing, Kyou Fujibayashi had a high probability of returning, but would the Kyou Fujibayashi who returned still be Kyou Fujibayashi?

Regarding this,

Lin Ye put a big question mark.

Based solely on Rumi Tsurumi's one-sided words, it was impossible for him to believe it entirely.

"Tell me."

Under Lin Ye's insistence, Rumi Tsurumi told Lin Ye everything she knew. Lin Ye also asked some questions, and Rumi Tsurumi tried her best to answer, but for some questions, she didn't know the answers either.

But Lin Ye understood one thing,

why he hadn't encountered the Eerie after walking around Chiba Elementary School twice.

"Identity."

He was neither a student of Chiba Elementary School nor a faculty member, so he couldn't encounter that ghost Eerie that existed at Chiba Elementary School.

This was a guess Lin Ye made by analyzing and summarizing the information given by Rumi Tsurumi.

Otherwise, it made no sense that Kyou Fujibayashi, Rumi Tsurumi, and others at the school could see it, while official personnel came to Chiba Elementary School to investigate and found nothing.

Identity was the key condition for triggering an encounter with the Eerie.

"Do you want to save Teacher Fujibayashi?"

Rumi Tsurumi was stunned, but subconsciously nodded.

This little girl, who looked cold and introverted, actually had a warm heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have waited at the school gate for a long time, nor would she have realized that Kyou Fujibayashi had been taken away from this world and felt so distressed that she didn't even look ahead while walking.

"I will protect you."

This sentence made Rumi Tsurumi realize Lin Ye's plan.

"I..."

"Believe in me. I still remember that little Tsurumi wants to become as bold as me? Now is the opportunity!"

Lin Ye squatted down and smiled, looking at the girl levelly.

"I want to save Teacher Fujibayashi, and I also promise you that I will definitely protect your safety, so, can you enter the school with big brother?"

Rumi Tsurumi gazed into Lin Ye's sincere eyes, her heart trembling constantly.

Although that Eerie hadn't caused serious casualties, and occasionally someone was scared, and she hadn't encountered it, she had heard of its notoriety.

If she had a choice, she would absolutely never want to come into contact with it; otherwise, why did she wait outside the school gate every time instead of waiting inside the school?

But now, the man in front of her was inviting her to enter, asking for her help.

Encountering this kind of thing for the first time in her life, Rumi Tsurumi didn't know what to do.

"Is Teacher Kyou Fujibayashi your girlfriend?"

"..."

Lin Ye shook his head. "No."

"Do you like Teacher Fujibayashi?"

In Rumi Tsurumi's view, Teacher Kyou Fujibayashi was a very beautiful and gentle female teacher, and it was very normal for Lin Ye to like Kyou Fujibayashi.

She guessed as much.

"No, I have a better relationship with her sister, Kyou Fujibayashi Ryou, so I don't want anything to happen to her."

So that's how it is.

Rumi Tsurumi pursed her lips, her eyes looking at Chiba Elementary School, which was rendered in hazy colors.

For a moment, she didn't want to enter.

"It's very dangerous,"

"I, dealing with Eerie, am a professional."

Lin Ye was full of confidence.

"If I don't want to go in, will you, will you grab me and take me in?"

Rumi Tsurumi's voice was a bit shaky.

Lin Ye laughed when he heard this. "No, no matter what, I wouldn't go that far. I'll find other ways. If you have the contact information of any Chiba Elementary School teacher, give it to me, and I'll contact them for help."

"I'll go."

Rumi Tsurumi clenched her fists and gathered her courage to speak.

"But if I go, it might not appear, because you are not someone from our school."

"Let's try."

"Yeah,"

just like that,

Rumi Tsurumi grabbed the corner of Lin Ye's clothes and followed behind Lin Ye into Chiba Elementary School.

A cool breeze blew, and Rumi Tsurumi grabbed even tighter, her small body showing a persistent courage.

When did it start, wanting to possess courage and boldness, but not daring to face the fear in her heart?

Rumi Tsurumi lifted her eyes to look at the tall man's figure.

Was he really not afraid at all?

Lin Ye took Rumi Tsurumi around the elementary school campus twice, but the large campus remained silent, and that Eerie figure didn't appear at all.

A minute later,

the two arrived outside the school gate.

"Sorry, it didn't appear."

Rumi Tsurumi even apologized.

"It has nothing to do with you, it's my problem."

It required both people to be related to Chiba Elementary School, or even better, one person; that Eerie might also be afraid of many people.

"Big brother, can you... really protect me?"

The sudden inquiry immediately made Lin Ye realize Rumi Tsurumi's thoughts.

This girl, she was a bit fierce! She was prepared to enter alone to lure the Eerie.

But this was too dangerous. Although Rumi Tsurumi indicated that this Eerie was mainly about scaring people and no lives had been lost so far, Lin Ye carefully considered it and chose to refuse.

"I appreciate your intention, but no need."

"But, don't you want to save Teacher Fujibayashi?"

"I have another method,"

Rumi Tsurumi blinked, not understanding.

"Borrow your identity for a moment."

"Yeah?"

She was even more confused. How could he borrow her identity?

"You stay here and don't run around, especially don't appear near the school gate,"

Lin Ye had the girl come to the corner of the perimeter wall to avoid her being reflected in the field of vision of the Eerie that might exist and be unobservable.

Caution first in everything.

"I understand, but big brother, what are you planning to do?"

"Remember to stay here quietly and wait for me to return. If I don't appear within half an hour, you go home immediately and continue your life."

"Uh! Yeah."

"I will use your identity; don't be confused, don't ask too much."

Rumi Tsurumi blinked, not having fully reacted yet.

The next moment,

Rumi Tsurumi saw a silver card appear in Lin Ye's hand, reflecting a faint luster in the sunset light.

Suddenly,

Rumi Tsurumi saw Lin Ye disappear, and in front of her appeared a little girl who looked exactly like her.
