Chapter 4
The third focus of the newspaper is a gem called 'The Eye of the Moon'.

Newspapers described its beauty in a big way, saying how crystal clear it is, how intoxicating it is, "under the moonlight, it will emit the most irresistible and strange brilliance", "it flickers quietly, flowing with mysterious The power of time is the most intoxicating brew.

He also concealed it and said tacitly, 'Because of a well-known event, this gem worth [-] million yen has gained a lot of attention'.

Bai Shui: "?"

Wouldn't it be much better to cut down on the beauty of gemstones and briefly review what the 'everyone knows' is, than a whole beauty description? !

He sighed calmly, skipped this report which still had no mysterious content, and continued to read.

Subsequent reports are all parallel reports, regardless of who is more important, and there is barely a basic order.

Bai Shui glanced down and saw a line, "That's a woman floating in the air, moving with the wind!" ', he cheered up and looked carefully at once.

Immediately disappointed.

This section, on the surface, seems to be the next part of a mystery novella, which is the part of revealing the secret.

Although I haven't read the previous part, but based on the information disclosed, Bai Shui can probably understand what the previous part is about:
"A group of people went to the villa on the mountain for vacation. Unexpectedly, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow and the phone had no signal, which trapped everyone. At this moment, one person after another died, and the murderer gradually surfaced." The classic snowstorm villa story.

Its secret is: this group of people has two identities of 'perpetrators' and 'victims' at the same time. The former is because they killed a classmate together more than ten years ago, and the latter is because they are the dead classmate now. is killing them.

Bai Shui read it two or three times, and finally confirmed: This is really just a mystery novel mixed with strange talk elements, not an official report with a bit of writing art added.

He turned the pages in disappointment.

There are also several entertainment news in the newspaper, one is a female celebrity named 'Yue Yexue' clarifying the scandal, saying that she has not met the right person and has no plans to fall in love in the near future.

The other one is about a female star named 'Yucheng Liuli'. On a variety show, she recalled her emotional feelings in kindergarten with a healing smile, and countless viewers recalled her youthful love.

Bai Shui had no impression of these two stars at all. He hadn't paid attention to Neon stars before, so he wasn't sure if there were these two stars in his world.

He temporarily suppressed the question of "is it a parallel world on the mysterious side, or a completely different world on the mysterious side", and continued to read this newspaper that was gradually becoming dull.

The newspaper also had a random talk about a certain TV. The contributor briefly described the beautiful appearance of the heroine, sighed and recalled a goddess named 'Tengfeng', and hated her for marrying at a young age.

A large part of the gossip is on the back of the homepage, which was directly torn away by the braided female classmate, and the rest of the paragraphs are lamenting that the heroine looks quite aura, if you don’t fall in love and don’t get married, In time, maybe it can become one-half of a 'Vine Peak'.

This is also a nonsense report with no mysterious side information and no key points. After Bai Shui finished reading the only part, he continued to read directly.

The rest are some advertisements, mixed at the end of the newspaper and in various hidden corners.

There is no element of mystery in the whole story, and it is a scene of singing and dancing.

Bai Shui thought for a while, and corrected himself: it wasn't counted as the promotion of singing and dancing, and the newspaper also published Lu Sha.

He looked up again and looked at the kind-hearted classmates who had kindly lent him the newspaper just now.

Probably after sharing the newspaper enthusiastically, their chatting atmosphere became a little cold, so now they have all returned to their seats.

The braided student was sitting in the first row, lying on the back table, reading half of the newspaper with the glasses student.

Bai Shui looked at them, and temporarily gave up the plan to send half of the newspaper back. He added a "buy a new newspaper and return it to a strange classmate" on the to-do list, then looked down at Aoko Nakamori's seat.

Aoko Nakamori's seat is very clean and tidy, books and notebooks are neatly stacked together, and on the table is the homework book she just dug out, with the back facing up.

It says [Aoko Nakamori] and [Second Year Class B] on the front.

... Nakamori?
Bai Shui looked at the newspaper again, and found the police officer who answered the reporter's question under the tear lines, [Nakamori Police Department].

Is it a coincidence?Or are they related?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone hurrying over, and he looked up.

Aoko Nakamori came back empty-handed, and found Bai Shui looking up at her. She stood still by the podium for a second, raised her chin and smiled, expressing perfectly with momentum, "Mission completed!" ' proud.

There was sunlight on the podium, and when she stood up and laughed, she had a shimmering feeling, and her blue eyes sparkled.

While thinking about whether there are foreigners among her parents, Bai Shui raised his hand and waved at her, and also smiled in cooperation, which was barely in line with his tacit understanding.

After laughing for a few seconds, Aoko Nakamori came to his senses, glanced back, and hurried to his seat, "The teacher is here!"

"How is it? I said it's too late."

Most of the people around have dispersed, and there are still two or three empty seats.

Baishui didn't know which was the seat of 'Kuroba Kaito'.

He stood up to give up his seat to Aoko Nakamori, and at the same time made a clingy attitude of standing and talking to her and not returning to his seat for the time being, "Very powerful."

Considering the character of the original owner, he stomped on Aoko Nakamori's tail, "It seems to be back in a minute, is it 'flying'?"

"Of course..." Aoko Nakamori lifted his chin triumphantly for a second, and suddenly realized that it was a teasing sentence, and immediately raised his hand and clenched his fist, "Kaito, you idiot, don't play tricks on me again!"

Bai Shui copied what the braided classmate said before, "It's not a prank, it's magic."

Aoko Nakamori showed a fake smile, and flashed her bright fists again.

It seems that the original owner often refute in this way.

There was another figure at the door of the classroom. Bai Shui turned his head to look, and saw a young woman in a skirt, who entered the door with a book in her arms.

is teacher.

He turned his head and looked around the classroom again.

The few remaining people who were not in their seats hurried back to the classroom, and there was only one empty seat left in the classroom, which was the seat of 'Kuroba Kaito' right next to Aoko Nakamori's seat.

There is only an aisle between the seat of 'Kuroba Kaito' and Aoko Nakamori's seat, and you can touch it with your hand.

Bai Shui took two steps back and sat down easily.

He breathed out silently, and reflected on himself: he knew that emotional factors should be considered, so he quickly checked the empty seats around him.

"Good morning, everyone." On the podium, the teacher showed a kind smile, "on the first day back to campus, your hearts are still on the spring outing, right?"

She is amiable, and the classmates around her all stare down at the books.

Bai Shui looked at the books on the tables around him from the corner of his eye, found a book of the same color from the drawer, and lowered his head to load the mushrooms.

This is a national language book.

When he opened it, he took a quick look at the table of contents, not surprisingly, he found that there were almost all unfamiliar words in Modern Mandarin, but fortunately, there were familiar poems in Ancient Chinese.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't check everyone's reciting poems immediately." The teacher thought for a while and clapped his hands. "So, did you just talk about "Mirror"?"

"Now turn to that page and give you 10 minutes to re-read and think about it. After 10 minutes, I will randomly ask someone to ask questions."

There was the sound of turning pages in a flurry and in a panic, and Bai Shui turned the pages to the "Mirror" chapter, and quickly started to make up lessons.

"Mirror" is a short story by Haruki Murakami, ignoring the length of some water words, the most concise sentence summary is: 'I' saw another self in the mirror in the dark corridor.

This is a very odd article.

After reading it, Baishui felt a sense of weirdness, just like the weird feeling that "I" in the article felt before seeing the mirror.

He frowned, and silently raised his vigilance: ...Could it be some mysterious side event that triggered it?

"Everyone is thinking very seriously, and you should have come up with results by now?" The teacher took a few steps on the podium, "Then I will ask, what do you think 'I' see?"

She named her slowly, "Student Kuroba who is very quiet today."
