Chapter 78

Lin Ye looked around and focused his search on the paintings.

If there were clues in the art room, the possibility of them being hidden in the paintings was the greatest.

He looked at the portrait of the beautiful girl with long straight black hair among the many paintings again. Even as a layman, he thought it looked very good and was painted very meticulously.

Whether it was the expression, skin, hair, or the details of the clothes, everything was painted perfectly.

The author was definitely someone who paid attention to details and pursued perfection.

Fujibayashi Kyou followed Lin Ye, her eyes falling on items one by one in an orderly manner.

She was doing her best to contribute.

The otaku and the blonde girl went to the other side of the art room.

And the only one who didn't move in the art room was Kawasaki, which made the blonde girl, Chiharu, feel very uncomfortable. She felt that this boyfriend of hers really had no intelligence.

In the current dangerous situation, even if she hated and opposed Lin Ye in her heart, she shouldn't show it now, but should take the initiative to do things and contribute to prove her value.

With her boyfriend’s attitude now, the blonde girl didn't doubt at all that if a problem arose, Kawasaki would definitely be the first to be abandoned.

Actually, thinking about it carefully, this might not be a bad thing.

Chiharu couldn't help but think.

Anyway, she planned to break up after going back. Now that Kawasaki was the first priority to be abandoned, if a problem arose, Kawasaki would be abandoned first, and her survival probability would be even higher.

After the blonde girl figured this out, she withdrew her attention and placed it on the art room desks, drawing boards, and other items nearby, searching for possible clues.

And the otaku, who was closest to her, noticed something abnormal about the curtains by the window. He walked over with confusion and pulled the curtains open.

*Whoosh!*

A figure, long black hair...

*Ahhhhh!*

The otaku was so scared he retreated several steps and fell heavily to the ground.

The female entity, it was the female entity!

That female entity was already in the art room!

The blonde girl was also scared by the otaku’s sudden scream and panic, and she turned and ran.

When she glanced subconsciously and saw that figure, her pupils shrank, and she ran even faster, heading straight for Lin Ye, passing Kawasaki on the way, completely ignoring this boyfriend.

"Lin-ge, run!"

Saying run, it was essentially hoping Lin Ye would take her with him; she knew Lin Ye’s magical ability to take people away.

Lin Ye patted the panicked Fujibayashi Kyou, signaling the girl to calm down, and then walked toward the direction of the figure.

"It's a doll, it should be a physical doll."

Lin Ye poked it and said.

The otaku, who had fallen to the ground, then looked at the direction of the figure tremblingly again.

"It seems... it really is a doll."

The otaku stood up with one hand and came to Lin Ye’s side. He looked left and right and couldn't help but praise it.

"It's made so exquisitely, at first glance I thought it was a real person!"

He reached out to poke it but was stopped by Lin Ye with a *slap*.

"What are you still doing here? Hurry up and find the clue item."

"Uh, going right away, I'll go find it right away."

Under Lin Ye’s urging, the otaku smiled awkwardly and went to the other side to start searching. Fujibayashi Kyou patted her chest, relieved of the fear in her heart, and continued her search work.

The blonde girl glanced at her boyfriend nervously and quickly, but saw that her boyfriend’s expression was cold, and even showed some disgust, so she immediately understood that her unconscious behavior of seeking help had stimulated her boyfriend.

You're so useless, how can I seek protection from you!

The blonde girl couldn't help but think indignantly, but she also knew that these words couldn't be said out loud.

After leaving this place alive, she would break up with him immediately.

Lin Ye searched for a while but didn't find any useful items on the doll’s clothes or body.

The existence of a physical doll in the art room was very abrupt. He first thought there were clues or key items in the doll, but now it seemed he had guessed wrong.

"Lin Jun, keys, I found the keys!"

Fujibayashi Kyou’s surprised voice rang out, and she took out a bunch of keys, with the sound of metal colliding *ding-dong-dong* continuously.

"Where did you find them?"

The blonde girl asked in surprise.

"The keys were found in the black suit."

On a wooden hanger hung three pieces of clothing: a blue shirt, a black suit, and a white short-sleeved shirt.

It looked like clothes worn by an adult male teacher.

Looking at it now, this combination of hanger and clothes was exceptionally conspicuous, but before this, it was very inconspicuous. The blonde girl sighed to herself that she had lost an opportunity for no reason.

If she had found the keys, this contribution would definitely be better than that dead otaku!

Knowing that Lin Ye had a trump card skill, the blonde girl, Chiharu, wished she could cling tightly to Lin Ye’s thigh; even if she had to sleep with him, it wasn't something she couldn't agree to.

She couldn't help but glance at Lin Ye: tall stature, a body shape that was just right, a face that couldn't be called too handsome, but the more she looked, the more pleasing it was. Most importantly, it was the courage, guts, and strength to survive in this strange school building!

Such a man,

she wouldn't lose, and would even make a huge profit.

But when she looked at Fujibayashi Kyou, she immediately felt that the possibility of being chosen plummeted. Compared to Fujibayashi Kyou, she was just a common beauty, and it was completely impossible for her to be chosen.

Chiharu immediately walked to Fujibayashi Kyou’s side and focused on searching the nearby area, but didn't find anything else useful.

Ten minutes later,

the four could be said to have searched every inch of the art room, even checking the partitions behind the drawing boards where notes might be tucked.

And it must be said, they really found a note with reminder information.

It was in the partition behind the portrait of the beautiful girl with long straight black hair.

The content was similar, but it supplemented them with two pieces of information.

"Bones,"

different expressive words. Obviously, the author who left the information wanted to convey the message: 'bring her bones to the art room'.

"Bones, human bones, her bones are in the school building."

Fujibayashi Kyou swallowed, and her heart beat faster.

She had thought it was a ring, necklace, or other special item that could reside, but it turned out to be bones.

"How are we supposed to find this?"

"At worst, we'll search classroom by classroom. I guess the female entity's bones must be in those classrooms with closed doors. Now that we have the keys, we can go straight to those classrooms, open the doors, and look for the bones inside."

With Lin Ye here, the otaku wasn't worried about safety at all.

"You say it lightly, you go find them?"

The blonde girl retorted.

"I'll go with Lin-ge."

"Heh, I thought you could be responsible for searching three or four classrooms by yourself!"

She laughed.

There were ten keys in total, all identical, with no difference.

Now there were nine left.

Just before, Lin Ye and the others went out to the music room next door to do an experiment; the keys could be inserted directly to open the classroom door, but after opening the door, the keys would disappear.

The keys they had could open nine classroom doors.

In other words,

they had nine chances.

And the entire school building had four floors. The first, second, and third floors were classrooms for each grade and the corresponding faculty offices. The first floor had an extra physics lab, the second floor had an extra chemistry lab, and the third floor had a biology lab.

And the fourth floor,

besides the art room, had a music room, library, study room, academic affairs office, the principal's office, and the rest were the student council office.

"If I remember correctly, there are currently 12 classrooms in the entire school building that are in a closed state and need keys to open."

Lin Ye recalled.

He had focused on remembering the closed status of the classroom doors on the first, second, and third floors when he was looking for the art room, and he had quickly counted the situation on the fourth floor just now when he went out to test.

"The fourth floor has the principal's office, student council office, library, and academic affairs office, four rooms in total."

"The third floor has the biology lab, one faculty office, and Class 1-B and E, four classrooms in total."

"The second floor has Class 2-D and G, and the first floor has the physics lab and Class 3-F."

At this moment, everyone was silent.

Was this what a high-end player was?

A veteran who had experienced terrifying horror games?

They could remember at most four or five classrooms, but Lin Ye had remembered them all, and could clearly and orderly report the names of the classrooms.

Comparing people to people, the difference really wasn't just a little bit.

If Lin Ye hadn't remembered the status of each classroom in advance, they would definitely have needed to explore outside, determine the specific closed classrooms and the total number, and then return to discuss. But now, it wasn't needed.

How much time did this save? No, the key wasn't time, but how much risk it reduced. The longer they were outside, the easier it was to be attacked by the female entity!

"12 classrooms, 9 keys left."

Which nine classrooms should they choose?
