Unadulterated fear of lying, it is pure fear of violence.

"Komiya--?" Ryuuen called out to the last student who had not responded to him in a slow and drawn-out voice, while narrowing his eyes and staring at him viciously.

"I...I didn't...I didn't do it."

"........"

After many twists and turns, fortunately, Xiao Gong still retained the courage to speak.

"........I don't want you to do anything that goes against your words in the future. Also, please don't let me catch any of you lying. You should know the consequences, right?" After saying that, Ryuuen pretended to be nonchalant and played with his fist.

"........"

"Get out of here." After making the final threat, Long Yuan gave the order to the three people in front of him. They ran out of the room without delay, and even forgot to close the door.

After the three of them left, Long Yuan still squatted there and pondered for a while. After a while, he slowly stood up and drank a sip of ice water.

"Did you see anything, Shiina?"

"Ryuen-san should have realized that this was not done by the three of them... Are there any other suspects?"

"During this dispute, from the conversation I told them to have, I can confirm that there were only four of us at the time."

"Is there no one eavesdropping outside the room?"

"No, I broke the camera and watched the surveillance video. No one else was there. And the three bad guys didn't carry any other devices. Since we can be sure that they didn't do it, how did they get the recording?"

"The only two possibilities are that Ryuen-san did it himself or there is a bug."

"Do you think I'm a fool, doing something that hurts others and does not benefit myself?" Long Yuan snorted coldly.

"So it could only be that there was a bug at the time. We have just checked and found no such thing installed in the room, so it is certain that it was done by someone. The three of them did not take anything from anyone else... Actually, it is easy to explain how the bug was brought in, but its existence is indeed a problem."

"Why does that person have a bug? I've inquired and found out that it's not sold in the school. If it was brought in from outside the school, it would be found out during the admission inspection. As for making it by hand, it's even more difficult."

And how terrifying must that person be to have carried a bug?

Murderer? High-ranking official? Interrogator?

At least ordinary people would never be able to do such a thing.

"Rather than a bug, I would rather believe that 'X' has planted someone in our class who is very covert."

"Does Ryuen-san distrust the students in the class so much?"

"Of course. After all, where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Aren't you one of them?"

"I just don't like fighting, but at the same time I don't hate it."

"That's why I haven't lectured you yet. You're not like Ibuki who needs to be taught a lesson."

"So what do you plan to do about this matter, Ryuen-san?"

"...I will keep the possibility of a bug in mind."

Does that mean that he will use violence to turn the class into one where there are no betrayers?

But that's impossible.

The rule of tyrants will always be overthrown, and the existence of traitors will inevitably arise.

(From Ichinose's perspective)

The chirping of birds one after another woke me up from my sleep through many obstacles.

I glanced dazedly at the clock hanging on the wall. The time indicated by the hands was as early as ever. The physical habits I developed during my three years of junior high school would not be forgotten so quickly.

"........"

But I'd better get up a little later today, at least let me take a nap.

"........"

Just like Luo, he went to the classroom later. But he couldn't arrive until the end of the class. Speaking of this, Luo was really something. He almost always entered the classroom at the right time every day, regardless of what others thought of him. He would never arrive early, which made me worry in vain whether he could arrive on time.

However, this seems to be an unnecessary thought, because from what he said, he gets up quite early every day, but since he can't do anything in the classroom, he simply stays in the dormitory and doesn't come out.

So what exactly will Luo do during this period of time?

I am very curious about this matter.

Luo is a very strange person. This is not a bad thing. If I have to say it, I think it is a compliment. In fact, it is not right to say that he is strange. It should be said that he is hiding something.

He has always said that he is an energy conservationist and believes in his own creed.

——Don’t do anything that is unnecessary, and solve things that must be done as soon as possible.

It’s a very strange life creed. I think it contains the secret of Luo itself.

Why do I say this? This is because Luo's actual actions are completely inconsistent with what he said. He could have just refused many things, but he still agreed and allowed me to act like a spoiled child.

The plea is just a metaphor, well, just an analogy, haha——

The sunlight poured in through the glass window, shining on my face, and I immediately felt the warmth of summer.

Well, this makes it impossible to sleep.

wrong.

In short, these actions of mine should have caused his dissatisfaction, but he didn't seem to blame me, and even his complaints were just pretending. Or maybe he didn't care whether I offended him at all.

Just like the fight this time, if Luo had refused more decisively, I would not have forced him. But he had no such tendency at all. Even though the weather was hot, he still accompanied me on the run and reminded me from the side.

He seemed gentle, yet unexpectedly cold.

Ah, no, I'm not thinking about that. I'm thinking about the secret that Luo Jun is hiding.

The reason why I think his secret is hidden in this sentence is mainly because Luo cannot lie.

Lying is human nature.

Everyone lies, and I am no exception, and I have committed serious sins in this regard...

But Luo seemed to hate this extremely. When talking to me, he always tried his best to avoid telling lies and used clever words to cover up the past.

He may not know that I have discovered this. If I pursue a question directly, he will definitely choose to remain silent. Because he does not want to deceive others, nor does he want others to know the real answer.

However, it is such people who call themselves energy conservationists while doing things that are inconsistent with this statement.

Therefore, I am certain that this chapter definitely hides his secrets and his unknown past.

He is obviously very smart but he doesn't use his abilities, and he has good physical abilities but he doesn't show them to the public.

I think Luo must not even have realized that he had been deceiving one person the whole time, and that was himself.

I don't know what his reaction would be if I told him the truth. I think the result would not be satisfactory, so I have to continue to fulfill the commission of Mr. Hoshinomiya and make adjustments.

Maybe he can be a strong help for us to be promoted to Class A.

Without realizing it, I gently squeezed the silver necklace on my chest, imagined the wonderful life ahead, and then - I patted my cheek hard.

It’s really hot today.

I sat in the classroom as usual, waiting for the crowd to disperse. I did my homework while listening to the chatter of Bai Niao and the others. They always found topics that I couldn't interrupt, so in order to not seem too stupid, I chose to use homework as a cover.

The amount of exercises is not large, because it is for practice, so the difficulty of the questions is kept very simple. If the exam is also this difficult, I don't have to think about the annoying process.

Because the exercises were too simple, most of the students in the class chose to buy additional high-level books to improve their level. Even Okabe, who ranked second to last, spent money on this. But I naturally refused this trouble.

Although I don't have much experience, I still have the ability to ensure that I don't have any problems in the exam.

Maybe this will make me seem a little different, but the so-called normal person does not mean to be consistent with others in everything, but to develop his own character.

Being extremely ordinary will only arouse suspicion from others.

Just like the perfect crime, because of the perfection of perfection, there is no perfection. Perfection itself is a flaw, and perfection itself exposes the fact that it is a crime. Although others have no way of knowing who committed this crime.

Even for an assassin, covering up all traces is not the safest option.

"Come to think of it, what on earth have you been busy with those days, Luo?" Shiratori, who was originally happily chatting about anime, suddenly cast his gaze on me and asked me.

"Can you be more specific? The reference to 'those few days' is not very clear."

"It's hard for me to tell you the exact time. It's like someone trying to remember what they had for dinner the day before yesterday."

"Then how come you remember it now?"

"Because it's really abnormal. You left very early after school those few days, and when I asked you, you just said you were going back to the dormitory to sleep... It was about two weeks ago, or even earlier?"

"Since it's been so long, even you have forgotten it, do you think it's possible for me to remember it?"

"That's hard to say. I don't have much confidence in my memory."

"If you don't have confidence in yourself, do you think anyone will believe in you?"

"I think you are the least qualified person to say this, Okabe."

"What? I'm just imitating you! Do you understand?"

"cut--"

"Cut off your head!"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying at all - wait, I seem to remember it, it was the time when Class C and Class D had a dispute."

"I'd rather know how you came up with the answer than this..."

"Don't worry about these things, answer my question first. And I remember that you were also kidnapped by the goddess of Class D, Kushida, what happened?"

It's amazing that you can still maintain your curiosity about that matter after so much time has passed.

After clarifying their problems, I focus mainly on the exercises.

"In fact, I was a witness to the dispute. Although I was unable to help, I can be considered a participant."

"So you were called in to help?!"

"Well, that's generally speaking. But if I told you guys I was going back to the dormitory to sleep, then I should have really gone back to the dormitory that day... Wait, what's with that expression on your face?"

When the pen was moved, the black shell reflected everyone's disbelief.

"You... a lazy guy like you... would you actually take the initiative to help one day?!"

"Hey, that's too much."

"Okabe, calm down, don't be fooled by him." Takashima patted Okabe's shoulder in a serious tone. The three of us were immediately confused by his actions.

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it carefully. At that time, Mr. Hoshinomiya had called attention to this matter in class, but Luo, as a witness, had no intention of raising his hand. So I am sure that he was forced to participate in this matter."

"I see, but isn't it also a way to solve a lot of trouble if you go to the teacher privately after class to avoid trouble?"

"What a joke! Do you think Luo would do something meaningless? If you help with this kind of thing and solve it well, there will be no points reward. Even if you can gain the friendship of Class D, we will still be enemies. If you make a mistake or even make things worse, you may become enemies with Class D and be laughed at by Class C."

"Do you think there's something wrong?"

"Not at all. You are worthy of being called Gao Holmes Island. I, Du Okabe Ping, would like to call you the strongest."

"That's what I said. It makes sense."

I don't know what you are talking about, but it sounds amazing...

"Oh, it's already this time, we should probably leave school."

"Let's go, I'm hungry too... Luo doesn't have any other plans, right?"

"No."

"Then let's go——"

The white bird sounded the war horn, and I quickly stood up, packed the things on the desk into my cross-body bag, and jogged to keep up with them.

"After dinner, the three of you can go to KTV with me."

"What the hell, is this some new activity?" Takashima said with a look of disgust.

"I refuse. Is there something wrong with you? Four grown men going to a KTV?"

"I feel a little pent up lately and want to warm up my voice. I haven't sung since the last party."
