Chapter 555

"It's fine with me, but how come you're like this with boys now?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also puffed out her cheeks, put her hands on her waist, and muttered in a low voice.

"Xiyuanji Qilai-chan, Suzune-chan is right. You can't just be like this with boys, it's very easy to make people misunderstand!"

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai only then came back to her senses, realizing that her previous actions were too "natural," and her face quickly turned bright red.

She lowered her head shyly, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Next time... next time I will be careful."

But she didn't say that she had actually only tried this with Natsume Chikage...

Immediately.

She still couldn't suppress her strong curiosity and looked up to ask.

"But... I still really want to know what your clues are, Natsume-kun?"

Natsume Chikage shook his head.

"It's just speculation for now, no matter what."

"Just like what Yukimura-san said just now, some truths must be determined by going to the scene to see the situation."

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai immediately became excited.

"Since that's the case, let's go together this afternoon!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui let out a wail.

"Ah—are we really going?"

Yukimura Suzune, who still had some fear in her heart, was not afraid at all at this moment.

She glanced at Natsume Chikage, and a strong fighting spirit ignited in her eyes instead.

She felt that no matter what, she had to solve the puzzle one step ahead of Natsume-kun this time!

After school.

Old school building, in front of the elevator.

Natsume Chikage came here with Yukimura Suzune, Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai, and Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui.

As soon as they arrived, Yukimura Suzune began to carefully observe the elevator in front of her.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui looked at the elevator that was still running and couldn't help but complain.

"After that kind of thing happened, is the elevator here still not prohibited from use?"

A calm voice suddenly came from the side, answering her question.

"Rather, it's precisely because there has never been any substantial danger here that there's no need to prohibit its use."

"And in the school, some supplies are actually stored here."

Konoe Tooru, who appeared out of nowhere, explained.

Natsume Chikage looked at her in surprise.

"Tooru... when did you come?"

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai was also surprised.

"Senior Konoe, why are you here?"

Konoe Tooru explained with a flat expression.

"I saw you all gathered here at the old school building's elevator when I was passing by just now."

"I was thinking if you were trying to solve some 'Seven Wonders' event again like last time."

"Then I came over."

"Currently, it looks like it's the same as I guessed."

"But you don't need to worry about me, just continue your exploration. I'm just curious to see."

Natsume Chikage, upon hearing this, had a flash of inspiration and suggested.

"Tooru, can you help find the security guard and his patrol dog to come over?"

The three girls from the Collection Club also agreed.

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai nodded excitedly.

"Mm-hmm! I also really want to see with my own eyes if it's really the same as the rumors."

Yukimura Suzune also nodded and said.

"Me too. Please, Senior Konoe."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui gave two dry laughs, her voice still carrying a bit of timidity.

"Ahahaha... although I'm indeed very scared, I also want to verify it with my own eyes."

Konoe Tooru thought for a moment and agreed.

"Fine."

She immediately took out her phone and started making a call, asking someone to contact the security personnel.

During this waiting period, Natsume Chikage and the others walked into the elevator together.

During the ride, Natsume Chikage carefully observed the inside of the elevator, and unlike the others, he even reached out to touch the walls and floor of the car.

However, soon, he seemed to notice some abnormality, but didn't say anything, just silently followed the others to the fifth and sixth floors and checked the situation respectively.

The fifth and sixth floors were actually just ordinary old classroom floors.

But because of their age, some areas of the rooms had been blocked off.

However, Natsume Chikage noticed that the door locks of one or two of the classrooms could be easily removed as long as they were twisted with a little force.

After observing the situation in the room.

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Yukimura Suzune constantly observed the surrounding environment carefully, as if wanting to find some clues from it.

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai followed the others in the corridor with great interest, as if she were exploring.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui pinched Natsume Chikage's sleeve in fear, but then realized this was a "good opportunity," and even actively grabbed Natsume Chikage's arm, putting on an extremely scared appearance.

"Natsume-kun... I, I am very scared, please forgive me for being like this."

"It's okay, I understand."

Natsume Chikage saw that she was truly scared, so he didn't say much.

Konoe Tooru, who was expressionless on the side, saw this and followed suit, grabbing Natsume Chikage's other arm expressionlessly.

She said in a flat, monotone voice without any waves.

"Natsume-kun, I am also very scared."

Natsume Chikage glanced at her speechlessly, thinking that you couldn't tell at all.

Soon.

The few of them found nothing more upstairs and returned to the elevator entrance on the first floor.

At this time.

The security guard finally arrived here with the patrol dog.

As soon as they approached the elevator area.

The patrol dog named "Xiao Hei" showed strong resistance and refused to walk forward no matter what.

Even if the security guard pulled hard, it had its limbs tense, made fearful low growls in its throat, and desperately wanted to retreat, as if there was something extremely terrifying in front.

After witnessing this situation.

Natsume Chikage asked the security guard.

"Are most of the rooms in this old school building locked and not allowed to enter?"

The security guard nodded.

"Yes."

"They are usually locked."

Natsume Chikage continued to ask.

"Does this patrol dog of yours have this reaction every time it comes here?"

A helpless and slightly fearful expression appeared on the security guard's face.

"Yes, 'Xiao Hei' is like this every time it comes over."

"I and other teachers in the school have tried bringing other dogs over, and the result was all the same."

"As long as they are put in the elevator, this situation will definitely occur."
