Chapter 557

"What is it?"

Yukimura Suzune didn't react for a moment either, revealing a confused expression.

The security guard seemed to understand something, his face revealing a look of sudden realization and amusement.

Konoe Tooru was still expressionless, not knowing if she had guessed it.

Natsume Chikage saw this, scratched his cheek slightly awkwardly, and explained in a low voice.

"Inside... being intimate."

The cheeks of Yukimura Suzune, Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, and Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But Yukimura Suzune quickly grasped the logical key and endured the shyness to question.

"Even so, why did their flashlights suddenly break?"

"And, why did they make up such a lie?"

Natsume Chikage continued to explain.

"Because doing that kind of thing behind their companions' backs, the parties involved couldn't say it directly."

"Plus they might have left for too long, or had been hiding from the companions looking for them outside, secretly stimulating, so the companions outside had already started to be afraid and were calling their names loudly to find them."

"They didn't dare to go out immediately, so they simply turned off the flashlights and hid in the dark."

"However, the old school building wouldn't turn on the lights at night, and it was pitch black."

"The two who didn't dare to let others find out what they had done in the room could only leave the classroom in the dark."

"It is estimated that they were panicked in the dark and accidentally bumped into tables and chairs or other obstacles, so they were covered in dust, and might have even broken the flashlight in the process."

"Precisely because the flashlight was broken, the two were in complete darkness, associating it with the evil spirit rumors of the old school building, and would naturally become extremely panicked."

"And after hearing the voices of their companions calling their names near the elevator, the two identified the direction and ran over in a panic."

"That's why they were sweating profusely and covered in dust at the time."

"Then, when their companions pressed them about why they had disappeared for an hour, the two didn't dare to tell the truth, so they had to follow the existing supernatural rumors and make up a terrifying experience that sounded more 'reasonable'."

"As for evidence... I think, in one of the classrooms in the old school building that can be easily opened, some special items that shouldn't appear there might still be dropped. As long as you look for them... you might be able to find them."

"As for why the 'invisible resentful spirit of the old school building' was formed, it is because various events are superimposed together."

"The elevator short circuit caused dogs and cats to flee in terror, the school's previous site was a lake where death-row prisoners died, students vanished, and even rumors of seeing the boundary between life and death were spread, all of which added up, which led people to subconsciously think that there were resentful spirits here."

"Therefore, these cognitive blind spots were formed."

"If you could think from the simplest angle of 'dogs are different from humans, entering a short-circuited elevator will be shocked' from the beginning—if you think through this, you can naturally follow the vine and infer that there is no ghost in the old school building, that the two were lying, and thus understand the truth of this event."

At this point, the truth was completely revealed.

Anyone could hear that Natsume Chikage's reasoning was interlocking and almost impeccable.

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai clapped her hands excitedly.

"In this way, all the doubts make sense!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also breathed a sigh of relief, a look of surprise on her face.

"So that's how it is! Scared me to death..."

The security guard suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

"No wonder! No wonder! It turns out it was all a misunderstanding and coincidence!"

Konoe Tooru glanced at Natsume Chikage, and a trace of imperceptible surprise seemed to flash in the depths of her calm eyes.

Clearly, she hadn't expected Natsume Chikage to be able to solve the puzzle that even other teachers and students were helpless about so quickly again.

But this guy's grades were ridiculously bad.

It was inversely proportional to his reasoning ability.

What's going on?

Could it be that he just has some talent in reasoning?

Yukimura Suzune bit her lower lip gently, although there was still some unconvinced expression on her face, she also understood in her heart that it was indeed Natsume Chikage who solved the puzzle this time.

She couldn't help but turn her face away and muttered in a volume that only she could hear, being stubborn.

"... It's just that I didn't discover the key point of the short circuit first."

"If I had discovered it earlier... I could have reasoned it out too."
