He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

"It wasn't me, it has nothing to do with me."

"Stop pretending. You weren't in the classroom this morning, and you weren't in the gym either. You must have planned to hypnotize everyone today."

"I was sick with a cold yesterday and arrived late. When I got to school, I noticed everyone seemed off. You have to believe me..."

"Still lying to me? Let me tell you, I will absolutely not open the door. Rather than be insulted by someone like you, I'd rather jump off a building with my Switch and kill myself."

Yuzuru Ako spoke with righteous indignation, as if she were some chaste and virtuous woman from somewhere.

Shirakawa was speechless, but why did she mistakenly believe that the person hypnotizing everyone was Shirakawa?

There is only one explanation: Ayako Hanyu did not see who was hypnotizing her; she only heard the other person's voice.

Although Shirakawa and Anshi Hiroshi's voices are not exactly the same, combined with what Jackie said about the electric microphone, it's not impossible to mistake them for the same person.

Now, Yuzuru Ako is convinced that Shirakawa has hypnotized everyone.

How to do?

Shirakawa had no choice but to call Jackie over and tell her what had just happened. The two of them whispered among themselves, discussing how to handle the situation.

"So, this person named Yuzuru Ayako mistakenly believes that you hypnotized everyone?"

"Yes."

"Hmm... If I hadn't seen An Shi Hiroshi standing on the stage, I would have also suspected it was you who did this, after all, Nikaido..."

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Now what should we do?"

“Well, if you trust me, you go over there in the corridor and keep watch while I talk to her,” Jackie said, but a wicked smile appeared on her face that made Shirakawa uneasy.

"You? Is this true?"

"Hey, trust me, Xiaobai. We've been on and off on Line, and we just ran away together. Our friendship has evolved from just acquaintances to comrades-in-arms. I definitely won't betray you."

Also.

"Then I'm off. Good luck..."

"Wait, tell me about her appearance and what her preferences are..."

Shirakawa and Jackie explained the story of Hanyu Ayako.

"Okay, go over there and keep watch. Wait for my good news."

51. The story begins!

Jackie waited outside the door for a while.

Judging that it was about time, he gently knocked on the door.

"Hey, are there any survivors?"

Jackie said, feigning anxiety.

"Who are you?" Yuzuru Ako asked warily from the other side of the door.

The door has no windows, so you can't see the other person.

"I'm Jackie. I stayed up all night playing games and accidentally overslept this morning. When I woke up, my classmates looked like that." Jackie made up a lie.

Does she also like playing video games?

Yuzuru Ayako's affection for Jackie increases by 1.

However, Shirakawa had just been here, so maybe this Jackie is also a puppet he hypnotized, tricking her into opening the door.

Like a vengeful ghost in a horror game that tricks people into opening the door, using sweet words to lure them in, and then immediately starting to devour them once they're inside.

"Um, well, um..."

Having spent so much time working with games, Yuzuru Ayako found herself having some difficulty communicating with others, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that Yuzuru Ayako was stammering, Jackie knew that it wouldn't be difficult to grasp the rhythm of this "conversation," and it wouldn't be difficult to trick her into opening the door.

"So, classmate, what's your name?"

"Yuzuru Ayako".

"Oh, it's Ayako-san. I've seen you before, with your long blue hair. I've always wanted to say hello to you but never had the chance..." Jackie said, feigning a disappointed tone.

Yuzuru Ako began to waver, feeling both delighted to find a like-minded person and puzzled by the other person's overly "accommodating" manner.

"Hey, Yuzuru, what exactly happened at this school?" Jackie asked in a low voice.

"During the grade-level meeting this morning, someone hypnotized everyone else."

"Really? Oh my god, isn't this the kind of plot you only see in hentai AVs?" Jackie exclaimed, feigning surprise.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but I heard it with my own ears.”

"This is too scary!"

Do you know who the person who used hypnosis is?

"It's Shirakawa from our class."

"Oh, you mean Xiaobai? Impossible, he couldn't possibly do something like that," Jackie said with absolute certainty.

"why?"

“Xiaobai, he,” Jackie paused, then slowly said, “is actually about to become a father.”

"Huh???" Yuzuru Ako's mouth dropped open, her expression contorted with shock. "What the hell? Sister, this is no joke!"

Yuzuru Ayako only noticed Shirakawa's abnormality from his relationships with other girls, but she never expected him to be this abnormal.

God!

“I’m an exchange student, and my parents are pretty open-minded. When he first transferred here, I fell for him, and things got a little intimate in the girls’ restroom…” Jackie hesitated, leaving Yuzuru Ayako with room for imagination.

However, there is indeed a couple in the toilet having sex right now.

"No, this isn't right. You've been hypnotized by Shirakawa too, haven't you?" Yuzuru Ako said in disbelief, she was starting to question the meaning of life.

"No, we love each other, and he's already promised that he'll marry me after our child is born..." Jackie said, even though Yuzuru Ayako couldn't see her, she still had to play her part, gently rubbing her lower abdomen and showing a motherly smile.

Click! The door to the arcade opened, and seeing Jackie's state, Yuzuru Ayako could no longer hold back. She gripped Jackie's hands tightly and said anxiously:

"Sister, you absolutely mustn't believe that man's lies, he's just a..."

"It's something..." Shirakawa, who had already rushed over upon hearing the door open.

"Hey, hey, you guys... you tricked me! No way!"

Video game section.

There's a computer on the table, a TV hanging on the wall, and a PS4 connected to it.

The TV screen was still showing a paused scene from some AAA game.

No wonder there are no club members; everyone is on a one-person server, making it inconvenient to play online together. It feels like Yuzuru Ayako's personal e-sports room.

A large square carpet was laid out in the middle, and the three people sat on it, some kneeling and some squatting.

It took Shirakawa a long time to explain to Ayako what had happened, telling her everything that had happened that day, including changing clothes at the convenience store.

"Listen to my voice, uh, ah, ah~ how is it the same as that An Shihongzhi's?"

"They're practically the same..."

"And you, Jackie," Shirakawa nudged Jackie, who was trying to suppress her laughter, "Don't you feel any remorse for lying to people like that?!"

"No, hahaha, I was just joking. Besides, the door's open, and we've achieved our goal, so what's wrong with that?" Jackie clutched her stomach, tears welling up in her eyes from laughing.

"Hmph..." Yuzuru Ako realized she had been tricked, pouted, and was very unhappy.

“How can you make such a joke with someone you just met, Jackie?” Shirakawa raised his head slightly, implying that Jackie should apologize to Yuzuru Ayako.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jackie bowed slightly, then turned her head and whispered to Shirakawa, "There's someone I just met who I joked about, but he wasn't angry at all."

"Huh? Who is it?"

“Guess,” Jackie said with a meaningful smile.

"Alright, alright, I forgive you." Yuzuru Ayako stopped pursuing the matter, after all, these were special times, and dwelling on these things was pointless.

"So, Yuzuru, why are you alright? And what exactly did An Shi Hiroshi say?"

"I remember it clearly. During the morning meeting, even the cafeteria ladies and aunties were there. At that time, I had already completed the final Victory Road in Pokémon and was about to finish it. So I just hid under my hair and secretly played my Switch. Before the principal could say more than a few words, there was a commotion in the front row."

"Then An Shihongzhi spoke, and he set three rules: First, everyone must obey my orders. Second, arrest and control all people who behave abnormally. Third, continue campus life."

Three concise points.

"I initially thought it was an April Fool's joke, but everyone's reaction was strange. No one laughed, and I didn't hear anyone kick him out. The whole place was silent. I was terrified at the time, and I even used the wrong skill."

Using the wrong skill isn't the point, hey!

"The scariest thing was that he called out the names of two girls I'd never heard of before, asking them to serve him and have sex with him..." Yuzuru Ako's voice trailed off.
