Chapter 2811 Tricky (This Afternoon Is Another Storm)
At Yemiyama North Middle School, Shizuku met the client, who is the principal of this middle school. But he seemed unwilling to talk about it, so he directly pushed Shizuku to a librarian, Chihiro Tatsuji. According to the principal, this was the tutor of the third class of the third year when the incident happened.
It's just that now he is no longer a teacher, but has chosen to be a librarian.
Chihiro Tatsuji looked about 40 or 50 years old, but he looked quite haggard, with white hair, he looked about the same as an old man in his 60s or 70s.
"Are you here to investigate that curse?"
Looking at Shizuku in front of him, Chihiro Tatsuji did not hide his inner doubts, and Shizuku didn't care, just smiled.
"That's right, I'm the exorcist who was entrusted to deal with this matter, so can we skip this step and exchange some more useful information?"
"……………certainly."
Facing Shizuku's question, Chihiro Tatsuji nodded, then sat down on the chair and stared at her.
"What do you want to ask?"
"I have already learned most of the situation from the materials sent to me by the principal, but I still want to ask, when you knew that the target of the curse was the third class of the third grade, did you take any other measures? For example There are only two classes left in the third grade? Although it will be crowded if there are four classes of students in two classes, but this will also prevent the curse."
"We did think about it."
Qian Yechenzhi gave a wry smile.
"But it's useless. On the contrary, the curse has expanded... The number of people who died that year was the largest, and all the third graders in the entire school died accidentally. In the end, we had to compromise and reorganize the third class of the third year. Put it back... At least in this way, the curse can be limited to a certain range."
"I see."
Hearing this, Shizuku nodded, and then she took out the list.
"Mr. Qianye, when I saw this list, I found a problem. Ten years ago, the rule of one person dying every month was broken. May I ask what's going on?"
"Ah...that was someone in the class at that time thought of a way."
"Method?"
"Yes, according to the curse, there is one more student in Class Three of Three Years. Since this is the case, then as long as one student is selected and treated as a non-existent person, the extra student can disappear again... Let The original number of people in the third class of the third year is maintained. I have to admit that this method is really effective, as you can see, in the first semester, no one died. "
"But in the second semester, the situation changed?"
"Ahh......"
Chihiro Tatsuji nodded.
"Because the student couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't take it any longer that other people didn't exist, so he yelled 'here I am, just watch me'... and then the bad luck struck again."
"...In other words, if the student who is selected as the non-existent does not cooperate, then it is useless even if everyone ignores him?"
"maybe."
Chihiro Tatsuji sighed.
"I admit that this is unfair to the child itself, but there is no way around it. After that, the third class of the third year basically chooses this method every year to avoid bad luck. Of course, the really successful Not many..."
Having said that, Chihiro Tatsuji stared at Shizuku curiously, sizing her up.
"Speaking of Kasugano-kun, people think it's an evil spirit, or a curse, what do you think?"
"I don't think there's a connection between the two."
Shizuku shook her head.
"I have already felt that there are no evil spirits in the school. And the curse needs to have a subject. That student...was very popular in your class. He would curse this class, or curse those students ?"
"...I don't think so."
"so………"
Having said this, Shizuku sighed, raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window depressedly.
"People's willpower... really can't be underestimated. I hope it's not what I think, otherwise things will be really troublesome."
To be honest, Shizuku had a bad idea after coming to Yemi Mountain and witnessing everything here.
That is——this is not a curse, nor is it some ghost revenge, but... a BUG.
That's right, that's what worries her the most.
And after chatting with Qian Yechenzhi just now, she found that her worry was probably closer to the truth.
As we all know, the operation of the world requires a certain order.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, the four seasons alternate, flowers bloom and fall.
This is normal operation of the rules.
However, once this is violated, it is prone to problems.
Take the previous story as an example.
Normally, when a popular student dies, people feel sad, and it's not uncommon to be sad. However, the biggest problem is that they actually pretended that the other party was still alive, and they completely disguised it. In fact, Shizuku suspects that those students might have pretended to believe it—this kind of group hypnosis phenomenon is actually not uncommon.
But this is troublesome.
It's like a system self-test and then scans the area. When I scanned the folder of the third class of the third year, the system suddenly found out in surprise—"Hey? Shouldn't the number in this file be N-1? Why is it still N?"
Then it checks again... huh? Isn't this MISAKI.DLL deleted by yourself? Why does it still exist as a hidden file?
This is wrong!
So when the next round of self-inspection starts, the system will automatically search and delete files. If the value of N remains unchanged for three years and three shifts, then it is a normal value. But once there is one more person in the third class of three years, and the value becomes "N+1", then the system will automatically think that the MISAKI. Virus-infected DLL files are deleted.
What should I do if I can't find it?
The file name is wrong, but the value of the folder is also wrong, so... delete them one by one.
That MISAKI.DLL is definitely disguised as some other file, just pull it out and delete it one by one!
This is the truth about the dead people in the third class of three years every month.
Because the system of Tiandao cannot determine what file that MISAKI.DLL is disguised as, it may be DLL, LAG or TXT, or even EXE or INI, so it will randomly delete files, including students, teachers and parents The "file" to find the MISAKI.DLL that does not exist.
The reason why Shizuku speculates that there is a problem with the system of Heavenly Dao itself is because Chihiro Tatsuji told her that when the non-existent deceased disappeared in the second year, the memory about her would also disappear from the minds of other students. They will never think of this person, and all records about her, including written records and photos, will be tampered with.
This involves the law of causality at the root of the world, and ordinary evil spirits and monsters absolutely do not have this ability.
After chatting and investigating with Chihiro Tatsuji, Shizuku has almost guessed the whole incident.
First of all, the system deleted MISAKI.DLL in the three-year-three-shift folder according to the program "Life and Death Book", which is a routine operation of the system self-inspection.
But unexpectedly, the people in the third class of the third year were unwilling to accept this fact, and they actually created a MISAKI.DLL abruptly.
Of course, they are just mortals, so naturally they can't pull out the DLL files that Tiandao put into the recycle bin. So they just pretended to have such a file, which caused an abnormality in the file value of the third class of the third year, from the original "N-1" to "N".
But in the next year, problems arose. Due to the influence of this obsession, there was an extra person who did not exist in the three-year and three-class folder whose value was fixed at N, changing from N to N+1.
This immediately attracted the attention of the Tiandao program, because the value of the three-year three-shift folder was wrong and needed to be cleaned up, and the culprit was naturally the MISAKI.DLL that should have been deleted by itself. So in order to correct the error, the Tiandao system began to kill and kill—this is not surprising. When Kaspersky killed the virus and caused the system to crash, it didn't care whether your system would crash or not.
This formed an endless loop. The value of the three-year-three-shift folder itself was wrong. Tiandao wanted to kill the root, but in fact the root had been deleted...
If this is really a system, format and reinstall directly.
But alas, this is not it.
This is where Shizuku scratched his head the most.
If the Heavenly Dao of this world has self-awareness like the moon world, then she can call out Alaya and Gaia and tell them that the program has gone wrong and reset it. But the problem is that most worlds have no self-awareness, they are like a system program that runs automatically. In this case, there is no way to find anyone.
It is even more difficult to solve it. It is impossible for you to reinstall the entire system just because a small one cannot be smaller and does not affect the error prompts you use.
Putting it here means destroying the world and recreating it.
Just for this three-year class three to die every month?
This commission is really tricky.
Shizuku thought so, but when she walked into the hospital, she was even more depressed.
There are many ghosts in the hospital, many of them died unexpectedly. Shizuku also talked to them, but these ghosts basically agreed that... I died by accident. Except for a little luck, I hardly felt any curse or other things. The intervention of strange forces.
Since there is no intervention of strange forces, then there is only the intervention of non-strange forces.
And the only one who can do this is Heaven.
"This is how to do……………"
Coming out of the morgue, Shizuku thought about it, but couldn't think of a good way. If it is a curse, she will lift it directly. If it is a wraith, kill it directly. But now there is a bug in the sky, there is a problem with the program, and the value has changed, what should I do?
Not to mention Shizuku, even if Fangzheng has traveled through so many worlds, facing this difficult trouble, there is no good way for a while.
Forget it, it's getting late.
Shizuku raised her head and looked out the window. She was too busy chatting with those souls before, but forgot the time. It's already midnight, I better leave the hospital quickly, otherwise if I'm found out, I'll still be a nuisance...... Huh?
Just when Shizuku was about to leave, suddenly, she felt something keenly, and suddenly raised her head to look above her head. At this moment, the girl's gaze penetrated the room and turned to the sky. At the same time, the weird thing in the sky shook suddenly and stopped as if it was stuck.
At this moment, a "click" sounded.
not good! !
At this moment, Shizuku's sixth sense exploded instantly as a prophecy mage, and she could keenly feel that Tiandao sensed that the number of people was wrong and started to delete files!
And right in the hospital!
Third floor!
Thinking of this, Shizuku jumped straight out of the window without hesitation, then stepped on the window sill with her feet and jumped up, jumping directly to the corridor on the third floor. Then Shizuku ran through the corridor like a ghost according to her intuition, and came to a ward, and then she opened the door without hesitation.
"call-----!!"
At the same time, a gust of wind suddenly blew past and disappeared out of the window.
"Damn, it's a step too late!"
Looking at the girl lying on the hospital bed, Shizuku gritted her teeth and cursed secretly. Then she dashed to the girl's side and turned her around—at this moment, the girl closed her eyes tightly, her face was livid, and one hand was hanging by the bed. Obviously, she fell ill suddenly and wanted to call a doctor, but she was "deleted" before she could call a doctor.
But fortunately, it is not impossible to save it.
Shizuku could tell at a glance that although the girl in front of her was dead, she was still warm. Her soul was not taken away, so she also stretched out her hand and placed it on the girl's forehead. Soon, holy light emerged and enveloped the girl's whole body. The girl's originally stopped breathing also quietly resumed.
"Phew... it's done."
Shizuku put down her right hand and wiped her cold sweat, then she took out her personal terminal and scanned the girl.
"Leukemia... no wonder..."
Looking at the sleeping girl in front of her, Shizuku frowned——this girl is a very good material, just so she can see if she revives this girl, will the program of Heavenly Dao execute her again? delete. If Shizuku's guess is correct, when Tiandao finds out that this girl is not MISAKI.DLL, then it should not attack her again.
But what if?
But in the case of leukemia, there are too many things that can go wrong, um...
Thinking of this, Shizuku raised her personal terminal and shot at the girl, directly helping her to cure her leukemia.
Now this girl is an ordinary healthy girl, she wants to see what else Tiandao plans to do.
"Woo........."
At this moment, the girl who had fainted before slowly opened her eyes with a low moan. She stared at Shizuku blankly, and asked after a while.
"Excuse me... are you the god of death?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Shizuku put away the personal terminal and looked at her with a smile.
"Because... I just..."
The girl reached out and pressed her chest... Then she felt her heartbeat.
"Am I not dead?"
"You're not yet ready to die, so you won't die."
Shizuku smiled again and looked at the girl.
"Can you tell me your name?"
"My name is MISAKI, FUJIOKA MISAKI."
"........."
Hearing the girl's answer, Shizuku's originally smiling expression froze.
Have you messed up yourself?
