Chapter 54: Chapter 054: Yukino Yukinoshita
The sound of 'click click' from the camera was heard from time to time, as several devices finally emitted a long 'beep' indicating the completion of data collection and analysis.
"Report, Section Chief, the results are in. Based on the changes in the magnetic field, the degree of dissipation of the strange energy, and the traces left on the street, the danger level of the anomalous entity that appeared here is between D and C,"
"This street was briefly pulled into a different space-time."
The middle-aged man nodded as if he understood. After thinking for a while, he spoke again:
"Has any useful information been collected from the surrounding area?"
"It's late, and there aren't many people on the street. Because the location is remote, there are no surveillance cameras, so we haven't found any suspicious individuals who could be players."
"Installing more surveillance cameras is essential,"
Everyone knew this should be done to respond to the current changes, but installing more surveillance cameras in major cities across the country would be an astronomical budget. Even if the cabinet agrees, the congress might not.
"How about the person who called the police? Have they found anything?"
The young staff member shook their head.
"The call was made from a public phone booth, and the voice was processed with high counter-surveillance awareness."
It was precisely because of this that they judged that the person was highly likely to be an official player involved in the anomalous game.
However, finding this player and confirming their identity would not be easy.
"Send more personnel and expand the investigation range. There's a chance we can find them."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and then gave up.
"No, it's too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and we won't get any results. Let's leave it at that. Create the files and handle it. The person in the hospital room who was possessed should be closely monitored."
"Those who survive after being possessed by the bizarre have a great chance of being selected for the 'Bizarre Game,'"
This is a rule they have deduced so far.
"Understood."
The group did the final cleaning up, and about ten minutes later, the caution tape was removed, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
The next day,
Lin Ye and Hina Tachibana got up early and headed to school.
"I'll get off here first."
Hina Tachibana needed to return to her apartment to change into new shoes and clothes before heading to school.
"Alright."
Hina Tachibana waved her hand and turned to leave the tram station.
Walking again on the street leading to Soubu High, Lin Ye had changed into the black Western-style school uniform of Soubu High today.
On both sides of the wide street, the green shade rustled, and pink cherry blossoms fell, drawing beautiful arcs in the air. A faint scent of cherry blossoms filled the air.
Groups of high school students walked together, with high school girls in pleated skirts showing their white thighs, exuding youthful energy, and occasional joyful conversations could be heard.
Having already graduated from university and worked for several years, Lin Ye gazed at this scene with a faint, subtle feeling in his heart.
There was nostalgia, but also a bit of unfamiliar discomfort.
Japanese high school life is completely different from the one in his past life in his homeland. Here, if one chooses to slack off, it's actually very easy to live carelessly.
Shaking his head, Lin Ye officially stepped through the gates of Soubu High and entered the high school.
Last night,
After he had called the police to report and summoned the Japanese authorities, he had gone out midway and arrived at the scene of the bizarre incident.
As he had guessed, the authorities had already noticed the 'Bizarre Game' and the existence of the players. They had even established a special organization — the Public Safety Commission's Magical Special Operations Department.
The official personnel at the scene had no idea that the person they were looking for had already arrived and even interacted closely with them.
"You've finally decided to come,"
A mature female voice came, and Lin Ye did not respond until a female teacher in a white lab coat appeared before him.
White coat, black long straight hair, curvaceous body— even if he hadn't seen the photo of Shizuka Hiratsuka that Hina Tachibana had shown him yesterday, Lin Ye could recognize Shizuka Hiratsuka just from these features.
"Shizuka... Sensei?"
"Oh, you recognized me right away. Looks like your memory loss was a lie."
Shizuka Hiratsuka, emanating cold air, walked up to Lin Ye, but due to their height difference, her imposing aura weakened slightly.
"Hina Tachibana showed me your photo."
"Hina Tachibana? Seems like you've become quite close."
"Hina Tachibana is very nice."
"She just graduated from university, but I'm glad you came on time today and weren't late. I'll overlook the skipped classes. As your homeroom teacher and life guidance teacher, I hope you focus on your studies and put your effort into academics."
Shizuka Hiratsuka patted Lin Ye on the shoulder.
"Being a fan and liking idols is a normal hobby, but if it interferes with your daily life and studies, that's not good."
"You're right, teacher,"
For a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that Lin Ye had changed, that he was now willing to listen and accept advice.
Perhaps Lin Ye had really lost part of his memory.
"I'm glad you understand. Idols and celebrities are far from ordinary people. If you really want to have a girlfriend, try pursuing the girls at Soubu High, and don't give up on them just because Yukino rejected you a few times."
Lin Ye's mind was filled with big question marks.
This original self had actually confessed to Yukino?
I have no memory, I don't admit it.
"Go to class now, and if you need anything, just come find me."
At Shizuka Hiratsuka is urging, Lin Ye went to the second-year J class in the teaching building.
He glanced around and didn't see that ice-cold girl.
The last seat in the second row by the window was his.
After sitting down, Lin Ye opened his textbook, saw his name, and felt relieved for the moment.
One by one, classmates entered, but no one greeted him.
Lin Ye, instead, was content with the quiet.
Suddenly,
The noisy conversations came to an abrupt stop, and the atmosphere in the classroom became still. Lin Ye looked up toward the door, and a figure immediately came into his view.
He finally saw Yukino Yukinoshita.
