Chapter 228

[Miss Alice had no parents since she was young, so she had a strong sense of closeness to the motherhood of this lady, so she reached out to touch her neck. As for the lady's suffocation death, it had nothing to do with Miss Alice. It must be the lady's own problem. Without a doubt, she is not guilty.]

[The criminal used the backstage and passage areas of the concert to escape continuously, and shot and killed many fans continuously. Multiple witnesses and injured people can prove this. The trace sampling at the scene is also conclusive evidence. Without a doubt, she is guilty.]

[Miss Alice entered this gentleman's home just to meet with fans. It has nothing to do with whether it was midnight. In fact, it is normal to sleep late at night because of idol activities. As for the gentleman's disappearance after Alice left, his cut pieces of meat were found in the sewer the next day. This must not be Alice's problem. The same is true for the abandoned bloody knife. Miss Alice's fingerprints on it do not explain anything. In comparison, the gentleman's wife and mother are more suspicious. Without a doubt, not guilty.]

[The criminal prepared guns and bullets in advance, and deliberately learned about the layout of the concert venue and made a careful plan. He was fully prepared for the massacre he was about to carry out. It was a premeditated vicious crime. Without a doubt, he was guilty.]

[Although the notes and documents found by Miss Alice were in her own handwriting, they were definitely not written by her. Yes, they were not written by her. It was a frame-up. Miss Alice never made any plans to hurt others. Without a doubt, not guilty.]

[For such a person with so many crimes, there is no other possibility except the death penalty. The conclusion is passed.]

[Such a kind and beautiful Miss Alice, there is no other possibility except not guilty. The conclusion is passed.]

Cheers rang out in both trials.

Everyone was celebrating the victory of justice and showing fanatical expressions for it.

Gao Hai was not surprised by this.

The existence named "Alice" has distorted everything, and such a development is just a matter of course.

But... those silent figures are still silent until now.

And Hirano Sosuke, who has been silent from beginning to end, seems to have been looking at those silent people.

Step——

Takahashi took a step forward.

In the empty, dusty court, all the figures and sounds have disappeared.

Faintly, it seems that Fujii Hiroshi's figure flashed among the police officers escorting Hirano Sosuke, but when he looked again, there was nothing.

Takahashi continued to move forward.

Walked to the defendant's seat.

Stepped into the defendant's seat and slowly sat in the seat on the seat.

It seems that he can feel the eyes cast from all around.

It seems that he can hear those whispers and feel those distorted emotions.

And... from beginning to end, the only thing that the person sitting in this position is concerned about.

"That's right, your obsession actually has nothing to do with Alice. What you want and what you can't let go of are just things like this."

So he understood it completely.

At this moment, Gao Hai finally confirmed what he had to accomplish.

To be honest, the difficulty seemed to be much higher than he expected.

Chapter 82: The end of the lone walker, regrets, and the gradually clear path to cracking

The past information is being pieced together.

Those things that were hidden in history and difficult to find traces, after the [surface] occupied by Alice was broken, began to be found by Gao Hai and his party at an increasingly faster speed, and were dug out more and more deeply.

In a sense, it seems that Alice's existence is the biggest problem of the copy of Fujika Middle School. As long as this top-notch thing does not exist, the difficulty of this copy itself will basically be nothing.

However, after truly seeing the core obsession and the reason why the man named Hirano Sosuke could not rest in peace, Gao Hai had to admit that he was really a little overwhelmed.

This obsession can be said to have nothing to do with [Alice].

Of course, it can also be said that [Alice] is still an important part of this obsession.

Hirano Sosuke himself is a [bad student] of Fujika Middle School. He is one of the few lucky ones with less than ten places each year at the end of Fujika Middle School when Fujika Middle School has basically become completely weird.

After entering this ghost place, Hirano Sosuke knew what kind of school he had come to, and was told that the safety of his family depended on his performance. Hirano Sosuke, who was only a junior high school student at the time, tried his best to get a good ranking and become an excellent student at the top, but because of several careless violations of school rules, he was gradually beaten into the ranks of bad students.

If it weren't for the teacher protecting him, he would not have survived the dark place of Fujika Middle School. And it is precisely because he survived from that place that he actually knew the existence of Alice herself. He knew about the invisible monster that was born among the outstanding students and was invisible to ordinary people. He knew what kind of terrifying charm that thing possessed, and he had lost himself time and time again when he saw that thing.

That teacher protected him many times, saving him from the cruel and crazy researchers and Alice's cruelty. Even in the end, when Alice was completely out of control and destroyed the entire school, the teacher who was about to be dealt with also successfully escaped and took him out of that hell through a secret door of Fujika Middle School.

No... He knew that he had never left.

As long as he stayed in a certain area of ​​that school for more than two hours, he would establish a special connection with that school. No matter where he went, he would eventually return to that place. Even though Fujika Middle School is now a ruin, even though no one will take him back to school now, Hirano Sosuke will definitely dream of returning to that school every day after falling asleep, dreaming that he is still a powerless student, dreaming that his parents and family are tortured and killed, and dreaming that the whole school has finally become hell.

Even after many years.

Even after he has grown up, the nightmare still accompanies him.

But Hirano Sosuke did not choose to live in seclusion and exile like his teacher, but only went back to the school once a year to pay tribute. He hoped to do something for others, he wanted to do something for those who were suffering and unable to save themselves.

So he chose to become a police officer.

Try to help everyone who asks for help.

Do not ask for anything in return, always smile cheerfully, and keep moving forward.

At this time, the marks left by the hardships on Hirano Sosuke have almost disappeared.

He seems to have gotten rid of all the nightmares of the past.

It seems that only the grown-up him remains in this world.

Until the existence of [Idol Alice] was told by those who asked for help.

At this time, Hirano Sosuke found out that such a popular girl who made countless people crazy in the streets and alleys appeared at some point. From ordinary people to the prime minister of a country, everyone seemed to have been taken away by the soul by that girl.

Even though she did not hide her cruelty at all and left countless evidence, no one paid attention to the victims' requests for help.

Hirano Sosuke certainly knew why this was the case. After all, when he was in Fujika Middle School, if he had not had the help of his teacher, he would have died in a mental breakdown. He knew exactly what kind of power that terrible monster had.

He would not be confused by that thing anymore.

After experiencing and adapting to the influence of that thing for a whole year, and after years of further mental growth, Hirano Sosuke would no longer be confused by Alice's illusion and the magic charm.

If he wanted to kill that monster, he would be the best choice, and the only choice.

But, did he really have the courage to do that?

The shadow of the past returned to him again, and the nightmare returned with the reappearance of that figure.

In the end, he took a step.

He conducted a thorough investigation of the concert site in advance, memorized several passages in the backstage area of ​​the stadium that served as the concert, secretly made keys for those protective doors and fire doors, secretly got bullets and stored them in various corners of the backstage area of ​​the concert, and repaired and modified a scrapped second-hand motorcycle and hid it near the backstage area.

After preparing, he pretended to be a fan who got front-row tickets for the concert, invited fans who were close to the seats he made up to hold an event together, then knocked them down and imprisoned them, took their tickets, and sneaked into the venue. Then, when Alice was on stage and closest to him, he stood up and shot, shooting several times in a very short time to ensure that she was killed, then fled to the backstage area, using his familiarity with the environment to fight with those fans, killing a considerable number of fans, and then successfully fled the scene on a bicycle.

He guessed that Alice would have a back-up plan, so he didn't go anywhere that night and stayed on the rooftop opposite the ruins of Fujika Middle School.

The manipulated fans took Alice's body back to school, and he followed those fans into the school with a gun.

Those who have been completely brainwashed and influenced by Alice for a long time are no longer save, so Hirano Sosuke will not feel anything about killing these fans. As for Alice, who had turned into a monster again, he originally thought that he would die with it or be killed by it in some way, but in the end, he still left the school alive, and the monster named [Alice] never returned to the human world again.

As a hero who defeated the monster, the story seems to have ended here.

But if all this could be completed, Gao Hai would not have seen what happened later.

Hirano Sosuke was arrested.

More than 30 fans died at his hands, and the body of idol Alice was missing. The torture and interrogation he suffered did not follow the proper procedures, but it was really not worth mentioning compared to what happened in Fujika Middle School, so his colleagues did not get anything special from him in the end. Hirano Sosuke would not tell the secret that should rot in his stomach.

But the point of the problem is not this.

When Hirano Sosuke sat in the defendant's seat, when he was handcuffed and shackled, when he was tried, his focus was not on this.

The power of [Alice] is almost irresistible to ordinary people.

However, unless you are like those fanatical fans who chase Alice around every day, unless you are like Fujii Hiroshi who is deeply influenced by Alice's presence around him every moment, if you are only exposed to newspapers and video images, etc., the corresponding mental deflection does exist, but that kind of deflection is not enough to really affect the personality, especially... after the death of [idol Alice], the influence will be further reduced.

So he knew very well that the judges in the court and the trial personnel had actually woken up.

Except for those fanatical fans whose personalities have been irreversibly distorted, the rest have woken up and regained their sanity.

Even if the love for Alice is difficult to completely fade away, more or less, some people should have understood what happened.

But he is still guilty, and the focus of the crime is not the fans he killed, but Alice he killed.

Those victims, the families of the victims, even if Alice, who brought them deep harm, has disappeared, they still cannot get the justice they deserve. Alice is still innocent. Even though all the evidence is in front of her, everyone still turns a blind eye.

Why?

His question cannot be answered.

It was not until he found himself waking up from a hospital after being [executed] and saw Fujii Hiroshi and several people who looked very noble in suits that he realized that with the disappearance of [Alice], it was not the end of the nightmare, but a new beginning.

The experiment started again.

Fujii Hiroshi received funding from the upper level and could continue the experiment, while the victims would still be in the dark. Because in order to cooperate with Fujii Hiroshi's experiment, the beauty and kindness of [Alice] will continue to be praised, and no filth will be made public. Those who have lost their loved ones will even be persecuted more severely. Several people have been found by those fanatical fans, and several of them did not survive. Those who survived by chance were sent to the hospital. They went completely crazy after a few days, and then disappeared one day.

In the end, nothing changed.

Stopping the power of the monster from affecting Neon more deeply, and eliminating the brewing disaster in its infancy, what I got in return was another expansion of desire.

Did I do something wrong?

Wasn't the choice I made correct?

It was my recklessness that caused all this to happen again.

There will be more victims, and this time, there will be no teacher who protected me in the past to protect these people.

Am I actually the wrong person?

Shouldn't I have done that?

I...

I... No...

I don't accept it.

I will never accept it.

Even if it means going to hell.

Just follow me on the road!

I will never surrender to you!

I will never compromise with you!

Never!

Never!!!

The flames are burning.

In the flames, the incarnation of terror took away almost everything.

But only those silent people.

Only those silent figures stood aside.

He did not blame those people for their silence from beginning to end, because on the day of judgment, they also suffered more harm like himself.

However, when he saw them, he still hesitated, and hesitated again.

The harm they suffered was ultimately caused by themselves.

He wanted to protect them, but ended up hurting them.

Was everything I did really right?

Could it be that I really did something wrong?

I...

...

...

Gao Hai closed his eyes and just sat quietly in his seat.

[What is the result of your investigation? ]

Zhen Fei's voice was transmitted to his mind through the mental link.

[Well, how should I put it, although there are still some fragments that have not been pieced together, at least I already know how to destroy the area of ​​Fujika Middle School]

Gao Hai's answer seemed to carry some elusive emotions.
