"In other words, besides you, someone else entered the bamboo forest? How is this possible?" Kate frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, "What method did that person use to hide it? He was How did you escape? Is there a traitor among the forest guards?"
She obviously found it extremely difficult to believe the last guess.
Yi Liuling did not stand up. He stared at Ni Sutu for a while. Seeing that the latter did not seem to be lying, he rested his chin on his hand and began to think.
If we say that detection methods are relatively reliable, it's just that Ni Kutu happened to have mastered rare black technology, so he was able to hide it. Then, the possibility of another person entering using the same method is very low, not to mention that those bamboos have actually sensed Ni Yutu.
Moreover, the only chance to escape was when the protective shield was opened. Ni Kutu walked away mixed in with the insects. How did that person escape?
He didn't think that the guy would run away from the beginning, because judging from Ni Kuantu's situation, the person who attacked Wuluo might be on the same team as him. If he had left long ago, there would be no need to arouse the forest guard's idea. Wouldn't it be better to make a fortune in silence?
There must be something evil in this...
etc!
"Kate," Yi Liuling suddenly said, "Let's reverse our thinking. Maybe the person who attacked Uro didn't want to attract our attention and open the protective shield to let his companions escape, but to make us think that his purpose was this. , the real prisoner may not have left the bamboo forest at all."
"That's impossible. We searched the bamboo forest carefully after the incident." Kate denied this conjecture. "There were many teachers there at the time who used life detection spells. Unless they were like him and took advantage of the chaos at the beginning, otherwise there would be no Maybe someone can hide it from them.”
"It doesn't have to be a human being," Yi Liuling said. "Have you ever considered that it was a ghost?"
"Ghost?" Kate was stunned for a moment, "Do you think the prisoner might be a ghost?"
Although ghosts are also classified as living beings, they do not have flesh and blood after all, and are still somewhat different from real living people. Similarly, some search spells targeting living people are difficult to work on them.
Of course, that magic shield can isolate spirits, after all, they also have magic power.
"Yeah, if that's the case, then it makes sense." Kate's eyes also lit up, because the matter of stealing bamboo shoots was so unbelievable that she kept focusing on certain human races provoking them. But according to Yi Liuling's words, the prisoners are actually ghosts. Because their thoughts are always clear and strange, it seems reasonable.
Just as she said, Kate asked the Zhujia student patrol to keep an eye on Ni Sutu, and took Yi Liuling straight to the bamboo forest in the backyard of the school.
"Ghost?" Wu Ga was a little surprised when he heard Kate's statement, "Ah, you said that, I seem to have heard a legend before."
As a school, Kaguya Sai High School is not as numerous and large as the Seven Mysteries on Soga High School campus, but there are still some small ghost stories.
Among them, there is a very niche version of the story, The Crying in the Bamboo Forest.
Kaguya's bamboo shoots will only be sensitive to elemental concentrations when they grow into bamboo in summer. Therefore, the school will not seal the bamboo forest at other times, and many student couples will come here for dates at night.
This story comes from a tryst couple, it was a winter night, there was a snowstorm, so most of the students in their right minds stayed in the dormitory. However, the fire of love will not be defeated by this coldness. For some reason, two students did not want to have a heater indoors, so they had to go to the bamboo forest to express their feelings to each other.
Since ancient times, the conversation between lovers has been nothing more than that. In short, after the two people chatted for a long time, the woman started to cry.
"Why are you crying?" The man was a little surprised and distressed, and quickly held his girlfriend's face.
Then I discovered that there were no tears on my girlfriend’s face, but only confusion: “I’m not crying.”
Just when the two of them were looking at each other blankly, a faint cry came from their ears again. Although the sound was small, it was very sharp and gave people goosebumps. By analogy, it's like scratching a blackboard with your fingernails or scratching a porcelain plate with a table knife.
The two of them were terrified, but after all, their lover was beside them. The man didn't want to show his timid side, so he proposed to go deep into the bamboo forest to find out.
But the woman said: "I have seen many characters in horror movies die like this. I suggest that we go back to the dormitory and report it to the dormitory teacher."
"I think what you said makes sense, let's retreat." The man immediately went down the steps, and the two of them quickly evacuated.
We don’t know if something will happen after entering, but from the fact that this story is still circulating, we can see that at least evacuating is a wise move.
But equally, it was precisely because the two people retreated in time and no further discoveries were made that the horror and drama of this story were far inferior to other ghost stories. It was uncompetitive in the students' after-dinner chats, so it was quickly dismissed. Ignored.
Wu Ga would know this story because the couple later broke up, and the separation was not peaceful. During the quarrel, they accused each other of being mentally ill, and even asked themselves out on a snowy day, so they found it out by the way.
Most of the ghost stories in the eighth world actually involve ghosts, so Yi Liuling and Kate immediately followed the location described by Wuga and entered the bamboo forest to search.
Speaking of looking for ghosts, Yi Liuling got excited. He suddenly thought of this because he had adapted to having these floating things around him a long time ago, so he always took this step into consideration.
Sure enough, after just walking around in the bamboo forest, Yi Liuling stopped in front of a bamboo tree and tapped it with her hand: "It should be inside this one."
"Wouldn't ghosts attached to bamboo still be killed by light?" Kate still had enough common sense in this regard.
"Yes, but the bamboo is hollow. Maybe there is something inside." Yi Liuling knocked down one section at a time, finally stopping at the root. "Is this the location of Kaguya's fruit? Is it possible? Is it an unripe fruit?"
"Let me look at the number," Kate's finger scratched on the bamboo, and a row of runes appeared on it, "Yes, this will probably bear fruit next year, so it is normal for it to have fruit now. However, if you want to confirm this , the bamboo must be cut down.”
"You can't chop bamboo!" Wuka, who was following him, quickly stopped him.
"Are you sure there are spirits in this place?" Kate glanced at Wuka and asked Yi Liuling.
Yi Liuling nodded: "Yes, I guarantee it in the name of my semi-spiritual body."
"In this case," Kate sighed, "I'm afraid we can only make a decision that goes against the school motto."
