Manual of the Monster in City

77 Students Falling Into Coma

Jia Qingming rarely saw Xiao Shanshan showing such a solemn look, and she said that "there was an accident at school", which is definitely a very terrifying event.

    especially……

    Especially this is the category of the Monster Incident Investigation Agency.

    Generally speaking, in addition to organizing various activities such as "Ghost Mansion Expedition" and "Late Night Ghost Stories" that make a big death, things that are closely related to this monster incident investigation agency must be...

    Unexplainable things, weird things, things that may involve weird existences.

    The two quickly went upstairs from the stairs on the west side. Jia Qingming was very fortunate that she did not see Miss Su Qiang appear today, otherwise this physical education class is probably going to do that kind of physical training with her.

    In the end, it will only make Jia Qingming's small physique unable to recover all afternoon.

    4F414.

    The classroom where the death incident was once was also the old science laboratory that has been abandoned ever since. It is now the club room of their mortal incident investigation agency.

    However, as soon as he opened the door, Jia Qingming suddenly realized how serious the "accident" Xiao Shanshan said had become. Obviously it was serious enough to make her carelessly touch the black on his shoulder.

    Several students lay on the stitched table. Among them, there were boys and girls. They seemed to be in a strange coma...

    Edogawa was walking between every unconscious student, holding a notebook in his hand, and recording something on it. Hearing the sound of their door opening, he pushed his black-rimmed glasses, looked at the crowd, and said :

    "These people are in different classes, and the areas where they usually work are not the same. As for clinical observation...this is my weakness, and there are not too many clues to discover for the time being." Edogawa said.

    Xiao Shanshan nodded, this posture seemed to be inspected by the responsible leader of a certain department. Then she turned her head and introduced the situation to Jia Qingming: "This is what happened. This morning, to be precise, from the third class, a similar incident of student coma occurred in the school, the first student who was in a coma. Has been sent to the hospital."

    "But it's strange..." Edogawa pushed his black-rimmed glasses, took Xiao Shanshan's words, and continued to brief Jia Qingming, "The news from the hospital is that everything is normal. But this This kind of coma is a bit...unusual. I don't think it is in the category of ordinary events... it may be a monster event..."

    "Is everything normal?" Jia Qingming asked strangely.

    "Yes, they seem to be asleep, but they can't wake up at all. In addition, various functions such as the heart and lungs are all working normally." Xiao Shanshan said, "This is the strangest thing I find So what Senior Seimei saw now, these classmates were all taken to the infirmary, the newly discovered comatose students...Since it’s useless to send to the hospital, I simply asked Edogawa classmates to help me recite them. Come on. Let’s investigate it ourselves first."

    "Hey, is this really good?! This is a private setting..." It seems that the idea of setting up a private court is not quite right. "Anyway, it is better to let professionals handle it!"

    "What are you talking about, our Monster Incident Investigation Agency is the most professional person!" Xiao Shanshan patted his chest triumphantly.

    "It really seems to be a strange incident, kid." Xiao Hei on his shoulder said.

    "By the way, I found this just now. Come and take a look." Edogawa brought several people to a desk on which there were plastic evidence bags.

    Last time Edogawa seemed to have brought out something similar. This should be the professional props he got from Miss Su Qiang...the detective.

    "These are the only gains from my investigation." He showed Jia Qingming the things in the pouch.

    "This is..." Jia Qingming saw that these transparent pouches were filled with some fine powder, which looked like... some kind of dust.

    "These are all found in the nails of... these unconscious students. At first I didn't pay attention, but after observing a few people, I found that there were such things remaining in their nails, so I simply collected some. "Edogawa Jie said.

    Jia Qingming opened the evidence bag and took out a small piece of dust from it. Because it was very finely broken, it would easily fall apart and fall.

    He put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed.

    It's a... strange fragrance.

    Still having a sense of...unspeakable familiarity? It seemed that this scent was hidden somewhere in his memory, but he couldn't remember what time and place he had smelled before.

    "Hey!" Xiao Hei suddenly jumped from his shoulder. With a wave of the cat's paw, the dust on Jia Qingming's hand was slapped off, and the mouth was still yelling:

    "Don't just smell such suspicious things! It may be poisonous, kid!" Xiao Hei said dissatisfiedly.

    However, Xiao Shanshan and their ears heard her words like a "meow" cat cry.

    Xiao Shanshan immediately ran to pick Xiao Hei up and stroked gently with her hand.

    "This thing...may be some kind of incense." Xiao Shanshan guessed, "but the conditions for burning incense are definitely not met in school... and..."

    "And this kind of guessing is impossible," Edogawa said. "Even if the incense is really incense, will someone grasp the incense ash after burning? We can make an assumption first, assuming that this incense caused them to coma, then... the first question is, at the crime scene No incense was found, and most of it happened outdoors. The second question is...If the aroma has caused them to coma, why should they grab the incense ash with their hands? The powder in the nails may be dealing with burning. It’s caused by the ash from the past, but this inference negates our previous assumptions. That is to say, the coma after the incense burns out. In this case, investigating the incense is of no value."

    His reasoning is indeed very complete, he is indeed a true fan of Edogawa Conan...

    just……

    "Furthermore, incense is something that slowly takes effect during a burning event, and it only appears after no reason..."

    "Perhaps... that thing is not incense at all?" Xiao Hei said in his arms in front of Xiao Shanshan, temptingly. But it was just meowing to others, so Xiao Shanshan stroked her a few more times.

    "Perhaps it is not incense." Jia Qingming said this conjecture for Xiao Hei. "It's something... that also smells."

    "Huh? That's... what's that?" Edogawa couldn't think of it for a while and asked Jia Qingming.

    However, Jia Qingming didn't know at all, so he had to look at Xiao Hei as if asking for help. However, Xiao Hei was enjoying Xiao Shanshan's "horse killing chicken" and didn't want to explain anything to him.

    "Is there anything special at school?" Jia Qingming had to ask, hoping to know more clues.

    "Something special..." Xiao Shanshan thought, "The third grade unified exam?"

    "Are there any strange things?" Jia Qingming's forehead was pulled down with a black line.

    "It seems to be... one thing happened during the day today... that is, in the morning, someone posted that a beautiful butterfly was found on the campus. It is a very beautiful butterfly, and the patterns on the wings are very strange." Xiao Shanshan said as she turned on her phone and searched for it, "But it’s not a big news, it’s just a hot post in a school forum. Many students just tried to find it. Some people took the net catch."

    Having said that, Xiao Shanshan couldn't help but smile, probably thinking that someone had taken a catching net.

    What kind of school is this? Why would someone immediately take out a net to catch a strange butterfly? !

    Jia Qingming was desperate when he heard such a scene.

    "Found it. That's it." She turned the phone around, facing Jia Qingming with the screen, allowing him to see the worm shape clearly.

    The butterfly on the screen... It seems to be the butterfly demon who was let loose by him in the morning...

    "It might be... a monster." Jia Qingming said tremblingly when she heard her voice.

    ————

    In the real world, steal the heaven.

    "Okay, OK, I don't care."

    After sitting on the futon for a while, Bai Ling finally couldn't help it, stood up, stretched his waist, and yawned. Because of this yawn, Bai Ling's eyelashes became wet.

    She walked to the Bogu shelf aside and took down a tablet full of contradictions.

    "It's better to watch a movie to pass the time."

    Mengmeng opened her eyes specially and gave Miss Bai Ling a roll of eyes.

    "Anyway, Dream World is not my specialty, nor can it help me. I can only watch the excitement. It's not as interesting as the movie." Bai Ling put the earphones in his ears and swiped his fingers on the screen.

    "Eh?! It's Inception!" Xiao Shanshan glanced at the screen of Bai Ling's PAD, exclaimed in surprise, and then leaned over to watch with Bai Ling. Xiao Shanshan, who had always felt that there was nothing to do and didn't know what the meditators in this room were doing, finally had a way to pass the time.

    "Yes." Bai Ling said, and took off a headset and handed it to Xiao Shanshan. "Movies are very interesting things. However, dreams, such a vain thing, no matter how real it is, are just a projection. .. It’s just the things that once appeared in the mind, and then in that illusory world, with different scenes, different forms, repeatedly and strangely appearing in that space...Why are there people lost and can’t distinguish between dreams and dreams? What about reality?"

    "Maybe it's too real." Mengmeng said. "Moreover, although the world is huge, what everyone sees is only a little bit of scope. What you see, people you know... Although the world of dreams is not that broad, people's vision is also very wide. It's narrow."

    "Yes." Bai Ling sighed and said, "So I...keep away from the dream world. My memory is too long and too long, enough to create a maze that people will always lose... and never come out."

    "It's not the time to sigh, right? I have done a lot to let Qingming find something wrong, enough to cause feedback from other spirits... It's just that this dream is an extraordinary dream, a controlled dream. I can't help it. Ensure that this information was not tampered with by anyone halfway when it was delivered to Seimei."

    "As much as possible." Bai Ling said, and then she immediately became the shopkeeper and started watching the movie.

    "Yes, there is not much time." Mengmeng said helplessly, "I hope this manager is lucky."

    On the PAD screen, the spinning top on the table is spinning. In the setting of the movie, it is used to distinguish between dream and reality. If the spinning top can keep rotating steadily, it is a dream. If the top will stop eventually, it means that it has returned to reality.

    The spinning top kept spinning. In the movie, the heroine Mel, who could no longer distinguish between reality and dream, locked the spinning top in the safe and stopped looking at it.

    It's like Jia Qingming's current situation. If he can't solve the dream and can't realize that he is in the illusion, he will also be lost in the dream world...

There was not much time left for him to solve the mystery.
