Dream world, in Zhuang Yan's dream.

    Shenting Middle School High School 4F414, the Club Activity Room of the Monster Incident Investigation Club.

    "monster?!"

    Xiao Shanshan and Edogawa cried out in surprise when they heard Jia Qingming's remarks.

    However, Jia Qingming can tell from their eyes and from their voices... When these two people heard that it was a monster, they were not as scared as normal people. On the contrary, their eyes were full. It is excitement.

    Just like the slogan of the Monster Incident Investigation Agency, "Make trouble, make trouble, make trouble..."

    "Well," Jia Qingming said, continuing to follow this inference in his mind, "so the powdery objects with fragrance should be pollen."

    "So that's it." Edogawa stroked his chin and thought, "In this case, many things really make sense."

    Jia Qingming also nodded: "So they should be lethargic. Only to find the butterfly demon, that is, the butterfly posted by someone in the school forum, should this be the only way to release this spell."

    "What if you can't find it?" Xiao Shanshan asked suddenly.

    "I don't know. Maybe... Maybe you will stay asleep forever?" Jia Qingming replied, taking it for granted, but this answer made him think of something again.

    Those who can't remember, but will cause headaches.

    He no longer deliberately thought about the dream before getting up in the morning. What he dreamed of in the dream seemed to no longer matter. After all, it was a dream that quickly dissipated like morning dew.

    All are false.

    "Okay! Then, the new club activities, start! Goal: catch the butterfly monster and bring it to justice!" Xiao Shanshan began to speak out in vain words again.

    "Oh!"

    The two people seemed to swear an oath in a cartoon, and Jia Qingming's heart was full of embarrassment.

    However, there are at least two more people, Xiao Shanshan and Edogawa, which can be regarded as more effective combat power in the search work.

    In fact, whether it is effective, Jia Qingming feels that there should be doubts here.

    Soon Edogawa formulated a careful plan of "Invite the Lord into the Urn", that is, set up a simple bait to attract the butterfly demon.

    This bait is actually a short branch, but it has been smeared with a lot of honey by Edogawa, and it is constantly exuding a sweet smell.

    "Is it really okay...I think the bees and butterflies are not part of the same..." Jia Qingming looked at the bait he made, and said helplessly.

    "But they all feed on nectar. Although honey has been processed, it should be the same as flowers. It can attract butterflies, right?" Edogawa said.

    "Try it first anyway," Xiao Shanshan said.

    So after arranging the bait and traps, everyone hid behind the far corner of the school building and observed in secret.

    The trap set by Edogawa is a bit like a birdcatcher commonly seen in TV dramas. On it is an upside-down cardboard box, which is supported only by a wooden stick to maintain a delicate balance.

    The wood sticks coated with honey are used as bait and placed below.

    Just wait for the butterfly to find the fragrance and fly into it. Edogawa can pull the rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope will tear down the supporting stick, causing the box to fall down and trap the butterfly in it.

    Although this trap seems to be definitely one of the designs of the "Fools Only Fly In" series, it is said to be surprisingly easy to use. At least nowadays novels and TV series are performed in this way. Since this method can be passed down through the ages, there will naturally be Its own truth.

    So now I have to wait patiently.

    However, Jia Qingming feels somewhat familiar...

    It feels like...

    He looked at the rope in Edogawa's hand, one end was in Edogawa's hand, and the other end was tied to a wooden stick. This way, it seems to evoke some of his memories...

    Both ends being pulled by the rope?

    What is it? What important thing did you forget?

    At this moment, he smelled a scent, drifting slowly from behind, but saw a gentle-looking girl walking slowly from behind. She has very gentle facial features, but when she saw Jia Qingming, she suddenly showed a very disgusting expression, destroying the original softness of this face.

    It still seemed to be a certain déjà vu, coming from afar.

    "What useless things are you messing with here?" The girl said with a stinky face.

    "Wow! Good Sister Zhuang Yan!" Xiao Shanshan seemed to hear the girl's unhappy mood, so she stood up and saluted, showing a full smile.

    "Ah, Zhuang Yan-senpai!" Edogawa also put down the rope in his hand and greeted politely.

    Is she the number one in Shenting Middle School, the super-student sister Zhuang Yan?

    Jia Qingming looked at her. This should be the first time he and the senior sister met. However, this kind of familiarity feels what is going on...

    "Well, we are catching butterflies here." Jia Qingming explained, but when he said that, he even felt this kind of shame deeply...

    It feels like SpongeBob is saying: "Send Daxing to catch the jellyfish together?"

    "Naive. Don't do this kind of thing."

    Sure enough, Senior Sister Zhuang Yan finally left such a cold evaluation.

    "I advise you not to be nosy." Senior Sister Zhuang Yan said indifferently when passing by Jia Qingming, "just take care of your own affairs."

    There was an unabashed...hostility in her voice.

    After speaking, she went straight out, and the rope that had fallen to the ground was deliberately kicked by her when she was walking, pulling the stick and falling down, so the box that was used as a trap fell heavily.

    It was somewhat impolite for Senior Sister Zhuang Yan to act like this, but she didn't say anything, and left with a cold aura.

    However, when Jia Qingming came back to her senses, she saw--

    "Wow! Senior Sister Zhuang Yan is so gentle!" Xiao Shanshan stared at the back of Senior Sister Zhuang Yan.

    "Yeah! Really the goddess of our school... the academic performance is so good!" Edogawa also immediately started the unscientific nympho mode. If you can add a comic background, there should be red hearts coming out of the body.

    "Ahhhhh! What a kind of little girl." Actually... even Xiao Hei fell? ! This little black cat lying on Xiao Shanshan's shoulders couldn't help but start to talk nonsense...

    Jia Qingming looks at these guys, why does it feel like something is wrong.

    Especially Xiao Shanshan, how gentle is Senior Sister Zhuang Yan? ! You can't even take the gentle side at all!

    "Eh, by the way, senior Qingming doesn't know about Senior Sister Zhuang Yan, right?" Xiao Shanshan seemed to see his bewildered look, so she suddenly asked him, "No wonder there is no response."

    "Yes, Senior Sister Zhuang Yan is the number one celebrity in our Shintei Middle School. It's a pity..." Edogawa seemed to say something turning point, but what came later was... "It's a pity that we will leave for the college entrance examination next year. what."

    Full of reluctant emotions.

    "Everyone has a boyfriend. Don't think about it. And the boyfriend of Senior Sister Zhuang Yan is also super good!" Xiao Shanshan cupped her face and said i***t, "Sister Zhuang Yan's male My friend Zhou Ming is a genius sports student in our school. They should also be tested together in the future, and they will become the kind of couples from campus to auditorium!"

    "It's okay to see it only in school. After all, it's that kind of super goddess, she can't even think of it?" Edogawa said.

    Two people say you and me.

    Jia Qingming felt... as if she was suddenly living in a certain Marisu novel, and the heroine of this novel is Senior Sister Zhuang Yan, so no matter where she goes, she feels like an admirer everywhere...

    This is really a strange world!

    Thinking of this, my mind started to ache again.

    "Then we... shall we continue to wait for the butterfly to come in here? As long as the trap is supported, it should be able to continue to be used..." Jia Qingming proposed, covering his head.

    "Forget it, forget it," Xiao Shanshan said, "let's not catch it anymore."

    "I don't think there is any need to wait any longer." Edogawa agreed, and then the two of them wanted to leave.

    "Did you suddenly realize that this plan is unreliable?!" Jia Qingming looked at the two people who had suddenly changed their minds and was extremely surprised.

    "Senior Sister Zhuang Yan said. This is too naive!" Xiao Shanshan said, still learning the tone of senior sister in the second half, as if to teach these two people.

    "Yeah, and...that kind of thing is impossible to think about." Edogawa pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said, "For example, what kind of butterfly monsters, such things...maybe there are strange butterflies, but Perhaps it is a rare species, not necessarily a monster. Besides, such a butterfly monster, through its own pollen, makes everyone into a coma? This is a bit too exaggerated? We are not the world of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" ."

    Edogawa is talking about the story of "The Sword of the Immortal" 1 in which the butterfly demon makes the forest mansion hypnotized. Jia Qing has clearly seen others playing in an Internet cafe. The sight of everyone falling asleep makes people feel a little lonely. Only the player controls the protagonist to run in the wide and empty mansion. It seems that the whole world has become empty and empty.

    "Okay." Jia Qingming said.

    In fact, the current thinking of Edogawa and Xiao Shanshan is what normal people should have, right? These weird things shouldn't be believed in the first place, and shouldn't be the primary consideration in handling incidents.

    However, the change between the two of them was really sudden.

    This change... suddenly felt strange.

    And it's definitely not their character not to make trouble. The two of them should smell the scent of a weird incident and want to pursue it. How could they give up so easily?

    Jia Qingming looked at Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei looked unwilling to take care of things.

    "What about the students in the activity room...the sleepy students?" Jia Qingming asked at last.

    "Um..." Xiao Shanshan made a thought statement, "It's better to call the hospital later. But do your best. Don't let the students know about such strange things, otherwise everyone will be panicked again. Especially. It is the third grade of senior high school who is already in the review stage and should not be distracted by this kind of thing."

    As a student council president, my consideration is really thoughtful...

    However, Jia Qingming had a bad feeling in her heart. That's right, it's weird. The appearance of Senior Sister Zhuang Yan just now, the reactions of everyone, and... and after Senior Sister Zhuang Yan appeared, these people's attitudes suddenly changed...

    So is Xiao Shanshan, and so is Edogawa.

    Although it is not ruled out that they were originally "brain fans" of Senior Sister Zhuang Yan, after all, in the school, under the infection of a relatively closed and fixed atmosphere, it is easy to become fanatical about certain things.

    but……

    But Xiao Hei is different from them, not only because of Xiao Hei's somewhat indifferent temperament. More importantly, Xiao Hei had been in the Stealing Pavilion before, with Bai Ling and Xiao Bai. She didn't know Senior Sister Zhuang Yan before, but only this one met her, and she obeyed what she said casually.

    This is an incredible thing, an unexplainable event...

    In other words, maybe Senior Sister Zhuang Yan does have some magic in her body, but that is not something that ordinary charm can explain, but a kind of supernatural existence...

    Is it a monster incident? Maybe she is the butterfly demon? But Sister Zhuang Yan was in Shenting Middle School before, right?

    ——"I advise you not to be nosy. Just manage your own affairs."

    Senior Sister Zhuang Yan's words rang in his mind. When she said this sentence, Jia Qingming didn't immediately react, but what she said was... indeed... "you".

    ...This sentence seems to be said to him alone.

    Different inferences entangled in Jia Qingming's mind, not giving way to each other, silting up signs of pain.

    At this moment, from the playground, a panicked student ran up. He saw Xiao Shanshan and immediately reported breathlessly:

"It's not good, it's not good...on the playground...it's fatal!"
