I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Another girl, Kotori, took out a string of Buddhist beads and began to chant. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, looked at everyone and said, "The only way to calm her anger is to stop the demolition of the clock tower. This is the only way to lift the curse!"

"Well...as long as you are happy."

Mordred covered her head. She had lost patience with Kotori who was still pretending to be so. She couldn't stand staying in this dusty attic any longer. She just wanted to get things done and leave. So Mordred ignored Kyosuke's eyes and reached out to grab something floating at the stairs and pulled it down. Then countless hairs fell down, and with them fell a black plastic bag full of hair.

"..."

"..."

"I see, this is the real body of the falling hair..."

Seeing that he could no longer hide the secret, Kyosuke had to step forward and pick up the plastic bag. He discovered that there was a hole at the bottom and hair would fall out if it was touched slightly.

"Could it be that one of us deliberately pulled the fishing line and caused the hair to fall?!"

Sano quickly thought of a possibility, and felt extremely excited when he felt deceived.

"It's hard to say... I think the more likely possibility is that you accidentally bumped into it when you were crawling over just now..." Kyosuke already knew who did it from the expressions of several people just now, and he didn't want the other party to be exposed on the spot, because no matter which school it was, playing such a joke with the disciplinary dean would definitely not be excused by writing a letter of apology.

"Because the fishing line itself is very thin, even if it touches it, it will probably just treat it as spider silk. If the person who touches it moves it casually, the hair will fall out. In this case, the other party just needs to make a good mechanism. Anyone who comes here will encounter this "curse" at a fixed time."

"So...what about the bells?"

Saotome huddled in the corner and asked with a trembling voice. After seeing Kyosuke and Mordred reveal the hair trick, she regained some of her confidence.

"This should be it."

It was not Kyosuke who answered her, but Yukino. Her voice came from above everyone's head. Everyone looked up and found that Yukino had walked down the dilapidated stairs to the bottom of the clock. Because her whole head was stuck into the clock, her voice was a little distorted.

"Ms. Yukishita, what are you doing up there? It's dangerous!!"

Not sure if Sano's voice was trembling again, perhaps because he was still in shock or worried about Yukino's safety.

"It's okay... I got it—ah!"

Yukino took something from inside the bell, but she used too much force and the wooden steps under her feet collapsed, so Yukino fell in front of everyone.

"what!"

"Danger!!!"

Kyosuke subconsciously went forward to catch Yukino, but his movements were not as fast as Mordred's. When Yukino was still in mid-air, Mordred jumped up and caught Mordred in a princess hug. As for Kyosuke, he missed and fell heavily to the ground.

"Kyosuke! Are you okay?"

Miura quickly ran over and helped Kyosuke up.

"It hurts...it hurts. It's okay."

Kyousuke found that there was nothing wrong with him except that his body was a little dirty, but it was obvious that Miura saw it more carefully.

"You said your face is all broken. Don't move. Let me clean it for you."

When Miura saw that Kyosuke had a scratch on his chin, she was so scared that she quickly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the dust off the wound.

"hiss--"

Kyosuke felt some pain in his wound and instinctively tried to dodge but was patted on the shoulder by Miura.

"do not move!"

"Yes……"

What else could Kyosuke say? He could only obediently let Miura do whatever he wanted.

After a long while, Miura finally agreed to let Kyosuke turn his head, but she still reminded Kyosuke: "Remember to wipe it again with iodine when you go out later."

"OK..."

Kyosuke once again found that he really had no temper at all when facing a strong girl. He saw that everyone was looking at him with funny eyes, so he quickly coughed to change the subject: "What did you get just now?"

"This one……"

Yukino pulled out a cell phone with sticky tape wrapped around it.

"I found it inside the clock. It shows that someone just called this number. The so-called bell sound is actually the ringtone of this mobile phone. Whenever you call this phone, it will make a similar bell sound. Because it is attached to the inside of the clock, the echo will make people feel that it is a real bell sound."

"So this is all just someone's prank?"

Kotori's face turned very ugly. She glared at Yukino with resentment. It seemed that she was very dissatisfied with Yukino for exposing her pretense.

Kyosuke glanced at Yukino and indicated that he would explain it. He planned to make a final effort: "I think so. The criminal will call at a fixed time, so that the so-called cursed bell sound can be faked. If there are people here, they will subconsciously panic when they hear the bell. At this time, they probably won't pay attention to whether they will touch the fishing line."

Komachi still had some doubts about Kyosuke's explanation: "So what happened next? One of our classmates was indeed injured!"

"Have you heard of Murphy's Law? When you worry about something happening, it is more likely to happen. When you think you are cursed and are careful, you will be more likely to get hurt. The criminal took advantage of this mentality. As long as one person is injured, the criminal can use everyone's fear to spread rumors. And with this... Miss Witch taking the initiative to come forward to exorcise the spirits, the prisoner doesn't even have to do anything. He just needs to watch how things develop."

"Yes, and I think the criminal must have made long-term preparations from the beginning." Yukino picked up a handful of hair from a plastic bag and showed it to everyone. "This is a wig commonly used in hair salons. The murderer obviously thought that if he wanted to make the legend come true, he would have to perform the drama many times. If real hair was used, it would soon become dry and yellow and reveal flaws, so the criminal chose this kind of prop that is easy to mistake for the real thing but can be easily preserved for a long time."

Yui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not a real ghost. She finally ran out from behind Hachiman (Mordred had left to save Yukino, so she had to hug Hachiman who was closest to her). She looked at the props in front of everyone and asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "So what is the purpose of the murderer doing this? A simple prank doesn't need to be so complicated, right?"

"The criminal's purpose is probably to delay the construction of this clock tower, right? I think if we conduct an anonymous survey of the entire school..."

"Wouldn't it be better to just ask the murderer himself about this?"

Kyosuke tried to stop Yukino from continuing, but it was too late.

"You mean...?"

"Here is the murderer's cell phone number. If we can find out who called..."

This little girl is too pragmatic.

Kyosuke was a little angry about Yukino's behavior. He repeatedly created an environment that the criminal was not among us, but this stinky girl repeatedly ruined his own stage. Will you be suffocated to death if you wait until the disciplinary director next to you leaves before correcting the criminal?

"That means ghosts don't exist, right? Then first of all, the clock tower must be demolished according to the original plan! I don't care what ridiculous reasons that guy has, anyway, I must catch that person, and if he is my student, I must punish him! !"

After realizing that this was all a prank, Sano returned to his previous arrogant behavior.

"No, a single punishment is not enough. I must fire her!"

Kyosuke secretly glanced at someone whose face couldn't get any worse, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, Director Sano, aren't you being too inhumane?"

"Humph, this prank has gone too far! No matter what, it cannot be tolerated!"

"Even if you say so..."

Kyosuke suddenly looked behind Sano and stopped talking, his whole face showing surprise.

"What's wrong, male classmate? Do you also think that guy deserved it?"

Sano didn't understand at first, but he soon noticed that everyone was looking behind him with serious expressions, which gave him a bad feeling.

"What happen to you guys?"

"Um... Director, behind you..."

"Stop it, it's another prank by that boring guy, right? Uh... is there really something behind me?"

Sano's whole body stiffened, and at this moment a black hand gently rested on his shoulder.

Sano turned his head with a creaking sound, like an old machine that had not been oiled for a long time. Then he saw a long-haired woman with a white skull face standing behind him, and the eyes of the skull were emitting golden light.

"Young man, was it you who rang the bell just now?"

““Ah!!! Chu has appeared!!! A ghost————!!! ””

After Sano shouted this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground with foam at the mouth. The rest of the people gathered around him, and Hachiman even protected Komachi behind him to prevent the ghost from hurting her.

Only Kyosuke and Mordred looked at the newly appeared "Ghost Lady" speechlessly. They both knew who the other was. Kyosuke even recognized her when she just came upstairs, but he deliberately made a frightened expression to scare the guy lying on the ground. After confirming that Sano was completely unconscious, Kyosuke walked quickly towards the "Ghost Lady".

"Kyosuke, come back quickly, this is an evil spirit!"

Kyosuke ignored Miura who was calling out to him. He just walked up and hit "Miss Ghost" on the head.

"it hurts."

"It hurts you big head! What are you doing here?"

When "Miss Ghost" saw that Kyosuke looked very angry, she quickly took off her skull mask, revealing a slightly pretty face.

She is the most capable model worker in [Hassan's Detective Agency] and the one who can come up with the most tricks among all the skull faces. She alone can satisfy all the hobbies of everyone except xenoglossia and zoophilia. She is - "Hassan of a Hundred Faces"!

PS: Actually, according to the setting, Hassan would cut off his face before putting on the skull mask, which is the so-called faceless man. However, Baimao and Jingmi took off their masks when they were broken three times, and their original faces could be seen. It can only be said that girls have privileges everywhere, even in extreme religious organizations┓( ??` )┏

By the way, I feel sorry for the cursed teacher whose face can never be seen (funny)

Chapter 90 Wang Ha: I'll poke that place, no need to pretend, that's a ghost

"So what are you doing here? Is it fun to pretend to be a ghost and scare people? If you really want to pretend to be a ghost, at least ask the dwarf or the cursed wrist to do it. They look much more like ghosts than you."

Kyosuke complained to Momo who was covering his head. To be honest, Kyosuke could only feel deeply helpless towards this guy. Pretending to be a ghost should be at least professional. After all, your ancestor was also a good ghost pretender, so why is it that you are getting worse with each generation?

In fact, Kyosuke was obviously talking without thinking, because he was familiar with Baimao, so he knew her tricks from the moment she appeared. The others who didn't know Baimao were scared to death by her. It can only be said that she is worthy of being the former terrorist leader. The skill point of pretending to be a ghost can be said to be learned naturally.

One of the many personalities of Baimiao, she knew that all her efforts today were in vain as soon as she saw Kyosuke: "Tsk, why is Lord Kyosuke here?"

Kyosuke raised his eyebrows and hit Baimao on the head again.

"Woo..."

"You're not little Jack, stop being cute."

"But I really feel wronged. I finally made up my mind to go all out and pretend to be a ghost to scare people, but I didn't expect to run into Kyousuke-sama. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here."

Seeing the enthusiastic (?) exchange between Kyousuke and Baimao, Yui relaxed somewhat. She pointed at Baimao and asked with some fear: "Um... are Xiaojing and Miss Ghost friends who know each other?"

"Ah, excuse me." Bai Mao saw that there were others and immediately bowed to the others, "I'm sorry for scaring everyone. If I knew that Lord Kyousuke and his friends were coming up, I would never scare everyone like this."

In other words, if we didn't know Kyousuke, you were going to scare us half to death, right?

Hachiman suppressed the urge to complain and said to Kyosuke: "Your friend has disrupted our rhythm just now. We could have known who the criminal was just now."

Kyosuke rubbed his chin and looked at a horse-faced man who fell to the ground: "No... maybe Baimao came out just in time."

"Hey?"

Because the person was not there just now, Baimao had a question mark on his face and said that he didn't know what Kyosuke meant.

Kyousuke rubbed his eyes with his fingertips to wake himself up and said to Baimao: "Because if you hadn't shown up just now, the criminal would have been caught..."

"Prisoner?"
