Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Izumi Saori, who was resting in the room, suddenly opened her eyes. After pondering for a moment, she seemed to feel something, raised her hand and lifted the quilt, and got up from the bed in the dark.

The Sphinx Academy is equal to men and women, and the girls who come out for school trips are also divided into four-person rooms just like the boys. In the middle of the night, Izumi Saori in the room could clearly hear the soothing breathing of the other three in their sleep. Therefore, as if afraid of disturbing others, the black-haired girl in a pure white nightgown landed barefoot, her white feet fell on the ground as silently as a cat, stepping on the black carpet like snowdrops falling into a pile of coal .

She moved quietly in the dim room, walked to the window, and carefully lifted a corner of the curtain.

As a result, the silvery white moonlight fell along that corner, and the night sky outside the window was clear and starry. The star dome in sight was so clear that it even looked a little dazzling in Xuejianze, a city with fog all year round, which made the girl fascinated by those twinkling stars for a while.

But now is not the time to appreciate the night sky, the girl quickly came back to her senses, and her heart was gradually filled with wonder as she watched the night sky. Because it was exactly as she felt—the thick fog outside had cleared at some point.

But this time is very wrong.

Izumi Saori turned her head and looked at the wall clock on the wall next to her. The current time is only 3 o'clock in the morning, and it is still early before sunrise, which is the time when the temperature is the lowest in the day. According to common sense, this time is the time when weird activities are at their peak. I don’t know how many strange stories circulating in the market happened during this time period.

However, at such a time, the fog outside suddenly dissipated.

what happened?

The starry sky reflected in the girl's clear pupils seemed to flicker, and after a while, she quietly closed the curtains and walked back. But she didn't go back to the bed, but picked up her shoes from the ground while the three of them were asleep, turned around and opened the door, walked outside, and then closed the door as quietly as possible.

It seemed a bit cold outside, the cold wind at three o'clock in the morning mercilessly penetrated into the gap of the girl's nightdress, making her shiver slightly.

What she understood was indeed correct, this point was indeed the time of the day when the temperature was the lowest, and the drop in temperature was followed by the condensation of water vapor in the air. Xuejianze is close to the sea, and the full water vapor in the air during the day condenses into tiny water droplets at this time, and eventually evolves into mist that permeates the air.

These are the knowledge that the residents of Xuejian Ze are very familiar with, not only after Yongye, but also before Yongye. Even without the influence of strange stories and other factors, it is very common to have fog in this city. In other words, the fog that had already appeared but suddenly dissipated was a serious "abnormality" for this city.

Izumi Saori put down her shoes and stuffed her feet into them, then walked out of the corridor. This old-fashioned Japanese-style building has long and deep cornices, and walking under it is no different from walking in a gazebo. The cold moonlight illuminates the space under the eaves, dyeing the entire corridor silvery. Even if the lights in the corridor are not turned on at the moment, the things in the corridor are clearly visible, so there is no need to worry about any bumps due to the darkness.

It's just really cold.

Another gust of cold wind blew past, causing Izumi Saori to shrink her shoulders subconsciously. It made her regret that she didn't change into thicker clothes before coming out.

The outside of the eaves is the courtyard of the hotel, and the cold wind is blowing from that direction. The girl who walked to the end of the corridor stood under the eaves holding her hands and hesitated for a while. In the end, curiosity overcame her nostalgia for the room, and she chose to walk into the cold wind.

I don't know who did what, today is the first night here, right?

It's just that the sudden disappearance of the fog is really an unusual thing, even more noticeable than the "appearance of the fog". Therefore, even though the girl was full of complaints at the moment, she was still thinking about what caused such an "abnormality" while walking.

No, it probably doesn't matter what you do.

Izumi Saori organized her thoughts.

What matters is who did such a thing.

"..."

Then suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared in the moonlight in front of her as she walked. The figure walked out from the corner of the courtyard in front, as if it came from another building. After passing through the corridor and walking into the courtyard, he was also walking towards the outside of the hotel.

"It's you?"

Just as she saw the other party, the other party also noticed her. The blond boy frowned slightly at her and made a cold sound.

"what are you doing here?"

Minamoto Taichi, the person I met at the door during the day. Izumi Saori also quickly recognized the other party, her expression moved slightly, and she just replied casually:

"Maybe, it's about the same as you."

Obviously the girl is not very happy to tangle with him here. She has a job in a studio called Guidan Investigation Agency, and the other party is a member of Hino Detective Agency. Strictly speaking, the other party is her opponent, and the two parties are in a competitive relationship.

But at the moment, the girl's focus is actually on the fact that the other party came out after changing clothes, wearing a neat kendo suit.

This discovery caused the corner of the girl's mouth to twitch slightly. The other party should have discovered the problem at the same time as her, because she was one step behind when she changed clothes. Otherwise, judging from the positions of both parties, if they came out together, they would not be able to meet.

"It's about the same as me?" Yuan Taiyi obviously couldn't guess what the girl was thinking at the moment, looking at Izumi Saori who was wearing a pure white dress in front of him, he was a little wary, squinted slightly when he heard this, and tightly grasped the knife in his arms handle, issued a warning.

"Let me warn you first, this is no fun..."

"Then let's exchange information."

Seemingly tired of this kind of probing each other, Izumi Saori took the initiative to interrupt the other party's words, and went straight to the point.

"The fog suddenly dissipated. Do you know anything about the situation?"

"..."

Minamoto, who was interrupted, choked slightly. It seems that he didn't expect the other party to cut into the topic like this. But after thinking for a while, he finally shook his head frankly.

"I just came out too, so I don't know much about the situation."

"Under normal circumstances, the fog of time won't dissipate by itself, and I'm sure there is 'that kind of thing' in the fog this time. Of course, I can't explain the reason, and you can choose not to believe it." Izumi Saori didn't care , just said coldly.

"Although it's unbelievable, judging from the current performance, it is 'that thing' that retreated on its own initiative."

"...Retreat actively?" Yuan Taiyi was shocked when he heard the words, "Will that kind of thing also retreat? Will they stop hunting? What to avoid?"

"From the current point of view, it is like this, but I don't know what it is." Izumi Saori nodded calmly, and then turned the topic to the other party.

"My information has been finished, what about your information? Or, maybe you can provide some candidates you think are possible."

"...I'm not sure." Gentai was a little silent, and after a while, he followed Izumi Saori's words.

"It's just a guess."

"Huh?" Quan Shazhi tilted her head. She didn't expect much at first, but she didn't expect that the other party actually knew the answer.

"The investigator sees that Shenxiu is also staying in this hotel now. I've inquired about it, and the reason for his coming is for vacation." Yuan Taiyi looked very vigilant, and when he spoke, his eyes shifted slightly, as if he was looking at something .

"But... I didn't see him back tonight."

"Is that so?" Quan Saori was taken aback when she heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Very good, this answer is very valuable."

"Then goodbye."

However, after she finished speaking, she turned around so simply, ended the conversation and walked back. From that appearance, it seemed that he was about to go back directly.

"Huh? Did you just go back like this?"

Yuan Taiyi looked at her background in shock, not understanding why the other party suddenly made such a decisive decision.

"Why are you staying here if you know the reason?" Quan Saori looked back at him, then raised her finger to the air.

"Even if you want to investigate something, the fog has cleared tonight, so what else can you investigate?"

"..."

This is the truth, but the other party was a little too straightforward, so that Genta was a little speechless for a while, looking at the back of the other party who simply left, he was a little dazed.

"Besides, since the other party took the initiative to retreat, it is likely that the search chief also failed to find any valuable clues."

However, Izumi Saori stopped after walking a few steps, turned around, and showed a thoughtful smile to Gentaichi.

"Then everyone is standing at the same starting point now, tomorrow night..."

"Isn't it time to start a fair competition?"
