Paine's game

"Be specific!"

Paine vaguely grasped some information and urged the old store manager to continue talking.

"Taro was also drunk at the time and spoke incoherently. That's what he said at the time. He said that the evil figure with a ghostly face kept moving on the wall as if it came alive and guided him to escape. After escaping from the fire, the evil figure with a ghostly face

Then he disappeared. The frightened Taro was so frightened that he fled back to his home and hid for a long time before he dared to go out. Then he never set foot in Dehong High School again in his life and always guarded this convenience store."

"Then why didn't he tell the police about this?"

"Because the police later investigated the scene and said that the fire was arson and that the fire started in the principal's office. Taro had been unhappy with the principal because he wanted to cancel the lease. Many people knew about this. The police also came to the door.

I came to see him, but he insisted that he was not at school that night because he was worried that if he told the police about this bizarre incident, not only would the police not believe him, but they would suspect that he was the criminal who committed the arson."

"You said before that the principal's body was not found after the fire, so could it be that the principal set the fire?"

The old man, whose mind was controlled by Paine, nodded slowly.

"The police also suspected this, because the body of the principal was never found, but even after searching for a long time, they could not find any trace of the principal. Moreover, the background of the principal was not simple. Later, it was said that there were congressmen and high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Pressured, the case was hastily closed, and was finally classified as an accidental fire. They also took the initiative to downplay the impact of the incident. Some police officers who handled the case and the first batch of firefighters who arrived were gradually transferred to their posts, so this matter was

Few people know about Aichi Prefecture anymore.”

"Then Taro doesn't have any other guesses? Normally, people who have escaped from death will not just give up after feeling lucky."

"Taro didn't tell me much. Only once when he was drunk did he say that the principal was actually still alive. The culprit behind those children and the fire was inseparable from the principal, even if he wasn't the principal."

"Nothing else?"

"No more."

Just when Paine was trying to squeeze out all the information about the old store manager, the long-lost smart assistant prompt appeared again:

Side mission: Investigate the truth (completed)

A shocking series of murders and fires occurred in the old building of Dehong High School 17 years ago. Now the truth has been submerged in the tacit silence of everyone. You peeled away the layers of fog and explored the truth of that year. You found that 17 years ago

The former principal is suspected to be the culprit of all these incidents.

Mission reward: Rare object·Prajna mask

Prajna is a kind of ghost born from jealousy and hatred, lurking in people's hearts. With this magical object, you can launch two forms of attacks: you can mark the target with jealousy, and let your soul leave the body to attack the opponent.

; Or occupy the heart with hatred, turn yourself into a "Prajna ghost", and attack the target in the form of a ghost.

A terrifying Prajna mask suddenly appeared in Paine's hand. This mask had a pale evil face, two long horns on its head, pointed ears and a pair of evil big yellow eyes.

, touching this mask with your hand, it seems that you can still hear some creepy and scary laughter.

"Prajna, Prajna, Prajna!"

The Prajna Mask suddenly spoke, which startled Paine. He wanted to throw the mask away with a shake of his hand, but the mask seemed to come alive, flying straight up and sticking to Paine's face.<
