Paine's game

Pan stepped forward and picked up the small ball of paper. When he opened it, he saw that it was the one that Shinozuka Kaoru had balled up and thrown away.

"That's the piece of paper. We're back to where we were before."

A ghost beating a wall? It was also the first time for Pan to encounter such a thing. He turned to look at Shinozuka Kaoru, wanting to see what she could do.

"It may be the interference of accidental objects. My brother mentioned this situation in his diary. He said that ghosts sometimes break into the walls in haunted houses, but that is often not done by ghosts and evil spirits, but by accidental objects.

Influenced by lingering resentment, this resentment can cause people to lose track of direction, blur their sense of self, and not know where to go, so they keep spinning around in circles."

"But you didn't notice the resentment before." Paine said. "And the corridor is so narrow, how can we go around in circles?"

"I'm not a greyhound raised by monks. If it's too slight or well-hidden resentment, I certainly won't be able to sense it." Shinozuka Kaoru said angrily, "And how do you know that what you see must be true?

of."

She took the paper ball from Paine's hand, and took out a lighter from her small bag and lit it.

When the paper ball hits the flame, it burns immediately, making a thunderous sound, and a stench comes to your face along with the smoke.

"Cough cough cough, throw it away quickly!"

Paine covered her nose and said, but Shinozuka Kaoru was obviously a wolf destroyer. She actually put the burning paper ball in the palm of her hand and watched it burn up little by little.

"Don't you feel hot?"

"Because it's not hot at all." Shinozuka Kaoru blew away the black ash in his hand. "There's something wrong with this thing. It's indeed an accident object. Let's take a closer look."

"Okay, then let's move on."

The two of them walked forward again, but this time they felt something was wrong after just a few steps.

"Look ahead."

Paine pointed to the black ashes on the ground and said, "Is this what you burned just now? We are walking back again."

Shinozuka Kaoru pointed behind him, "No, what I burned should still be behind us."

Paine turned around and saw a lot of black ash scattered on the floor of the trash can behind him.

"What's going on?"

Paine didn't feel scared at all. Although the scene in front of him was strange, it was not risky at all.

"I don't know either."

Shinozuka Kaoru bit his lip and said.

"Then what should we do now? We can't stay in the corridor until dawn."

"Of course not. In this case, we won't be able to complete the contract. The contract requires us to patrol the floor three times every night before finding a place to rest. We can't say that we were stumped on the first floor of the teaching building!"
Shinozuka Kaoru said depressedly.

"I know, so this is a very difficult problem."

Paine doesn't have any pressure. After all, it doesn't matter to him whether he succeeds or not. His main task is to survive for 60 natural days. If possible, he would of course prefer a more conservative plan, just lie in the corridor until dawn.

It’s not that it’s unacceptable.

It's just that Shinozuka Kaoru is still a bit proud of a house master, and of course she won't just bow her head and admit defeat.

The two communicated with each other, but in the end there was no good solution.

"I said, should we go into the classroom and take a look? There are a lot of white papers on the innermost wall of the classroom. I have always cared about those things. The boy was hanged at the door of the classroom. Maybe the strange things in the corridor were revealed in the classroom.

To find the answer?"

Seeing that the discussion could not produce any results, Paine simply made a suggestion of committing suicide.
