【——Military Department】

The paper itself was quite exquisitely made, but because it had been many years, it was not well preserved. It took Gao Hai some time to identify what was written on it.

Unlike Touka Middle School, which conducts experiments in secret, Hayachi Elementary School is quite public.

Gao Hai, who was thinking like this, saw Ji Gang coming out of the corner of his eye and carefully observing the surroundings.

He put away the page, then turned and walked towards the standing cabinet on the side of the room.

Inside the cabinet were some dinner plates and tea sets, as well as some baskets that looked like they were used to hold fruits.

Then Gao Hai walked to the fireplace again. At this time, the fireplace had been completely extinguished. There was only some gray dust left in it, and nothing of value existed.

No...it seems there is?

Gao Hai lowered his head and dug his body in slightly.

Then, he saw the unclear writing carved in stone on the inside of the fireplace.

【You see them, they exist】

The carving has become very blurry, but you can still see the difference in color between the carving mark itself and the surrounding blackened masonry. It is obvious that the word was engraved after the fireplace stopped being used for a period of time, and after the carving was completed, This fireplace was probably never used again.

It doesn't seem to be the engraving he left behind.

Then who could have carved this?

[Did you find anything? Move quickly, who knows when that thing will come]

Ji Gang, who was squatting next to Gao Hai, spoke nervously.

"There are some traces, I don't know who left them."

Gao Hai turned around and said, slowly retreating from the fireplace.

【trace? Is there anyone else here? 】

Ji Gang asked in surprise.

"..."

Gao Hai turned his head and looked at his empty side with nothing in it.

Was there anyone here just now?

He remembered that he was the only one here from beginning to end.

Taking out the pen, Gao Hai lowered his head and looked at the sentence "I acted alone" written on his hand. After thinking about it, he circled "one person" and used this method to remind and strengthen himself. my own impression in this regard.

Although in his memory, there was nothing wrong with the content of [acting alone in the dungeon]. He had no memory of investigating and exploring in this small living room with anyone else or anything, and he did not encounter any abnormalities at all. However, Gao Hai must now treat even a slight abnormality with caution. Because... it was too peaceful. In his opinion, the period from when he woke up to when he was exploring this dungeon was too peaceful.

Why doesn't he remember encountering anything unusual?

Why has his investigation so far been smooth sailing, without seeing any rule sheets or encountering any dangerous situations?

He would not have cared about such anomalies at all.

If he hadn't seen the writings left on his palm.

And...where did this pen come from? Why was there no impression at all before?

These doubts and suspicions clearly arose in Gao Hai's thinking, and were not forcibly blocked by any spiritually distorting power.

But even so, he still couldn't find anything that could be called weird.

[What’s wrong, Gao Hai, are you thinking about your girlfriend? It’s okay, we will definitely be able to go back]

Ji Gang reached out and patted Gao Hai on the shoulder and said to him with a smile.

[Is Lixiang really okay? I hope she can integrate into the new school environment]

Sitting on the sofa with the admission notice in his hand, Tao Jing sighed deeply, the expression on his face looking extremely tired.

"Let's find Kaguya first. I feel like something is getting more and more wrong with this place."

Gao Hai tilted his shoulders and put away Jigang's hand, then walked towards the door next to the fireplace.

Open the door, and there is a spacious corridor behind the door.

Nothing unusual.

Gao Hai still didn't feel anything unusual.

It was really safe here, so safe that he felt like he wouldn't be in danger just walking around and exploring.

Although this idea is incredible, Gao Hai really feels this way.

But at the same time, he instinctively felt a sense of urgency and a strong sense of crisis that came from nowhere. It was as if something was reminding him deep in his consciousness, reminding him that it was better to speed up now, reminding him not to be confused by the scene in front of him.

Click——

So he closed the door and walked deeper into the corridor.

Yoshigo and Takai followed him, and the three of them walked down the corridor together.

Tao Jing, who was walking at the very back, turned around and locked the door to the future. He seemed to be suddenly afraid of the small living room behind the door.

Step - step -

In the dark room, footsteps sounded from nowhere, gradually approaching.

Gao Hai had already opened the next door, and saw Kaguya Shinomiya standing in a hall behind the door, who was on guard.

Click——

The door closed again.

In the mirror on the side of the corridor, Gao Hai stepped forward and continued to move forward step by step into the darkness deeper in the corridor.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

The sound of rain continues to sound even now.

Xiong Mi lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled out the window, and then stretched back into the house.

"Sister, are you not in a good mood?"

In this bar, which is equivalent to the secret base of the Moyu Gang, a young man in front of the counter noticed at a glance that Xiong Mi had a bad expression when he came back, and asked.

"It's not like you don't know the reason. That kid... I really don't know what he wants."

Xiong Mi sighed with emotion, sat down in front of the counter, reached out and picked up a glass of flaming wine on the table, and swallowed it along with the flames.

"The problem is, sister, you told others to enter the dungeon in the evening. That is basically a very dangerous time in the dungeon, second only to entering the dungeon in the dark state. That is an early elementary school. Are you digging a hole for newcomers? ?"

The young man shrugged, with a hint of confusion in his words.

"If it's an ordinary person with no ability, it would indeed be considered digging a hole, but with the level of danger that Zaoli Elementary School started, it's not difficult for that kid."

Xiong Mi shook his head, his tone was extremely solemn.

"I have to let him enter the dungeon at a more dangerous time. Even if he is injured and bleeds a little, at least he will be in danger, and at least he will be aware of the [danger]."

"If you enter the dungeon during the day, that would be the most troublesome situation. Although it is indeed safer that way, if you really explore Zaori Elementary School at a safer time from the beginning, he might not be able to get out. "

"Only those who have truly experienced that ghost place will know..."

While sighing softly, Xiong Mi's voice was drowned by the sound of rain.

At this moment, in the dark little bedroom, Gao Hai had opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the bed.

He got out of bed and subconsciously turned around to rearrange the scattered bedding. Then, vaguely, he noticed something sounding from under the bed, like the sound of something moving gently under the bed.

【What's wrong? 】

Kaguya asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I probably heard it wrong."

As Gao Hai spoke, he looked at Ji Gang who was sitting in front of the computer, Takai who was arranging the bookcases, Miyazawa Hana who was wandering around the room curiously, Kaguya who was standing in front of him, and not far away Gao Hai opened the bedroom door and was observing the situation outside.

All seven of them were ready to go.

Taking steps, Gao Hai carefully walked out of the small bedroom. Then, when he reached out to close the door, he noticed the words written on his hand.

【I act (alone)】

Is this...did I write it down myself?

I was acting alone, what on earth is this...

In doubt, Gao Hai's brows slowly wrinkled.

Chapter Five: Cognitive Blocking Phenomenon and the Exploration and Identity of the Nap Room

Squeak——

Gao Hai opened the door from the small bedroom to the living room.

If the bedroom just now had a sense of déjà vu from the 1990s to the 2000s, then the style of this small living room now looks much older and dilapidated. It seems that it has been abandoned for a long time.

However, he could only barely observe the surrounding environment and could not clearly see the specific situation.

After all, Gao Hai has always kept his head bowed.

His eyes were always locked on his hand, on the words "I acted alone" written on his hand.

As for the surroundings, he observed with the peripheral vision, so he could barely see the surrounding environment within a certain range.

Although until now, Gao Hai has not felt anything unusual.

In his opinion, in his memory, he was indeed acting alone, and he was exploring this strange place alone from the beginning to the end.

However, there was this sentence left on his hand.

The handwriting was obviously his own style, but he had no recollection of when he had written such a thing.

On the premise that he did not feel any mental pollution, he encountered such a thing. After careful consideration, Gao Hai thought that what he encountered might be a situation that was biased toward [cognitive blocking].

People must first receive external information, whether it is vision, hearing or perception. First, people must receive the corresponding [information], and then analyze and process the information through their own consciousness, so as to understand what they see and hear. Everything you feel.

The mental pollution of the strange power occurs at the node of [processing information]. After a person receives polluting information, he or she is attacked and hurt in the process of processing and analyzing it with his or her own consciousness. Therefore, if one is not mentally polluted, but loses relevant information and part of the memory, this means that the problem may be in the part of [receiving information]. In other words, due to the influence of the strange power, my vision, hearing and perception cannot receive the information around me, or I receive information, but this information directly becomes garbled code that cannot be processed and analyzed in my mind, causing me to be unable to understand the current situation and thus [ignore] something.

Considering that I can record information such as [I act alone], this means that I can actually accept, analyze and understand the surrounding situation at a certain moment and in a certain state. However, this state cannot last. As long as a certain condition is not met, I will return to the state of [unable to understand the real situation around me]. Therefore, I can only remind myself by writing on my hand.

In a sense, this seems to be similar to the [reverse meme] effect in a certain set world view. When you face this thing, when you really observe, think and analyze the other party, you can remember the other party. But as long as you look away, as long as your attention is diverted, you will immediately forget the other person and lose the memory related to the other person. To put it more complicatedly, the other person can be understood as a special encrypted file that cannot be saved. When I am facing something, the things related to it in my memory will become readable, and once I shift my sight, these memories will become garbled codes that cannot be recognized and read, so I will forget the relevant information.

So after serious consideration, Gao Hai finally chose to always look down at his hands, staring at the words he had recorded, and then use the corner of his eyes to observe the surroundings, and investigate the surrounding situation in this way.

This is not an easy thing, and it is really awkward to act in this way. But Gao Hai really can't find any better way at the moment, so he can only do this.

No one is there.

After roughly investigating the small bedroom at the beginning, Gao Hai did not find anyone except himself.

However, he could vaguely hear someone knocking on the glass outside the window covered by the curtains, and shouting something.

Out of caution, Gao Hai did not try to open the curtains or check the situation outside, but only tried to turn on the computer, and left the room after finding that the computer had no power supply.

On the table in the small living room outside, Gao Hai saw the admission notice. In his opinion, this should be the first time he saw this thing. But now Gao Hai suspected that he had actually read this thing more than once, but he had forgotten the previous things.

Click-click-

Gao Hai could not open the door next to the fireplace in the small living room. The door was locked. He also tried to use his extraordinary power to force open this thing, but failed. This door seemed to be just an ordinary wooden door, but it was extremely strange and indestructible. Gao Hai could not leave any traces on this door after trying several times.

Tsk, is it this indestructible feature again? It's really troublesome...
