"Senior, I must have heard correctly."

Hatsuharu wanted to prove herself, "Saten-san, Arima-sensei, and I all heard the sound of the violin coming from this device. There's absolutely no mistaking it."

Chuchun didn't want Ouyang Jun to think that she was a bad boy who liked to play pranks.

"Miss Hatsuharu, there's no need to get so excited."

Kotoko gestured for Hatsuharu to sit down. "This kind of situation is very common. The record player that's been playing songs is actually not playing any records, and the light bulb is still flickering even though the power is out. These are all very traditional and standard supernatural events."

"It's just an MP3 player that can play songs even though there's no file in it. What's so strange about that?"

After all, they have seen a ghost, so it is normal for some strange things to happen. Ouyang Xuan and the others think that even if the MP3 in Ouyang Xuan's hand suddenly turns into a Transformer, they will not be very surprised. After all, the place is haunted, so it is normal for a Transformer to appear. Cyber Ghost is also a ghost.

"Is that so?"

"That's it."

Ruizi acted mature, "You're really making a fuss over it, Hatsuharu. Isn't this common sense? Professionals like me and my senior wouldn't find it strange."

"Saten-san, who was afraid of ghosts and didn't dare to enter the room this morning, actually dares to call herself an expert."

Chuchun curled her lips.

"I'm a brainiac, not a fighter."

"What tune is it that plays."

Ouyang Xuan put down the MP3.

"Hmm~"

Leizi pondered for a long time, and then a few words popped out, "Violin music?"

"Saten-kun, you idiot, how can there be a piece of music called violin music?"

Seizing the opportunity, Chuchun, who had just suffered a loss, immediately followed suit.

"It's the Ballade No. 1 in G minor."

Arima Kousei, the music teacher, replied, "It's Chopin's Ballade No. 1, a very beautiful and classic Romantic piece."

"No wonder it feels so familiar, it turns out to be your cell phone ringtone, Teacher."

"Oh, yeah, now that you mentioned that, Saten-san, I remember it too. That's the teacher's cell phone ringtone. I often hear it during class."

"Cough cough."

Kousei Arima coughed awkwardly. Although it was not as strict as in the mainland, if a teacher in the island country frequently answered or made phone calls in class, it would still be judged as passive resistance and a teaching accident.

"That's because the middle school music competition is coming up soon, and the organizers invited me to be a judge. I've refused several times, but it's no use. They keep calling me from different phones. Next time I'll just turn off my phone during class."

Only now did Ruizi remember when she had heard this piece of music before. It was because the version played by Kousei Arima was a violin and piano duet. The feeling was very different at first listen, and she had to listen carefully for a while before she could react. But the last two times she heard the violin piece alone, she was either too excited or too daring to pay attention.

For more than ten years, no matter how many times Kousei Arima changed his mobile phone, the song they played together more than ten years ago has always been his ringtone. Perhaps he was looking forward to the day when someone would call him and play the song they played together, although Kousei Arima knew that this was already a luxury.

A familiar violin sound rang out, and Ruiko and Hatsuharu almost jumped up from their chairs. When they thought it was the ghost coming back, Ruiko discovered that the violin sound came from not the MP3 but Ouyang Xuan, or to be more precise, the glasses on Ouyang Xuan's face.

"Ms. Saten, Ms. Hatsuharu, there's no need to get excited."

Kaguya's voice also came from the glasses on Ouyang Jun's face.

"I just searched for this song specifically to let Lord Ou and Miss Iwanaga know about it."

"I now feel that Miss Shinomiya, you are more like a ghost than that invisible ghost."

Lei Zi looked at each other in bewilderment.

"wrong."

Uiharu retorted to Ruiko, "Shinomiya-senpai is a real lady, a true lady, completely different from Shirai-san and Misaka-san. Even if she dies, she will become a fairy, not a ghost."

"I am also an ordinary person, Miss Hatsuharu."

Although it was a mechanical AI voice, one could still hear a sense of helplessness in it. Kaguya continued, "If I die, I will become a ghost, not a god directly."

"No way, Senior Shigong is such a great lady, after she dies, she will definitely turn into a fairy immediately, absolutely!"

Hatsuharu would never allow anyone to slander or look down on Kaguya, even if it was Kaguya herself.

After basically understanding the situation, it was pointless to continue sitting in the classroom. Ouyang Jun took Qinzi to check the haunted music classroom. Qinzi also found the ghosts of monsters nearby and asked them if there were any strange things happening recently, or if there were any new monsters or ghosts coming here.

Ouyang Sun and Qinzi questioned all the monsters and ghosts. They couldn't say they came back with a full load, but at least they could say they got nothing. It was only after Ouyang Sun and Qinzi came to question them that all the monsters and ghosts found out that a new female ghost had appeared in their territory at some point.

"According to my calculations, this ghost must have been possessed by this MP3 player. After years of accumulation, it finally woke up. If that's the case, we just need to find her and return the MP3 to her. As for the students, I've already thought of a countermeasure. Let's just explain it as a prank."

In the coffee shop outside the school, Qinzi stirred the hot cocoa in the cup and told Ouyang Xuan her ideas.

"A ghost that had been dormant for over a decade suddenly woke up, looking around anxiously. But when she turned around, she discovered her true form had been taken away by two little girls. No wonder she ran into the classroom crying. She didn't even realize she could have just snatched the MP3 player away. She just cried and wrote all over the blackboard to give it back to me."

"A ghost like this could definitely be found a suitable place, or we could help her realize her regrets and let her ascend to heaven and reincarnate. However, considering that this ghost has been dead for over a decade, if she doesn't retain her memories, it would be difficult for us to investigate what her wishes and regrets are. So I still suggest finding a place for her to settle down. This would also improve your image as a mediocre person in the Tokyo ghost and monster community."

After talking a lot, she felt a little dry in the mouth. Qinzi picked up the cocoa and was about to take a sip, only to find that Ouyang Xuan had been distracted at some point and was watching the MP3 he got from Chuchun. Qinzi's cheeks suddenly bulged as if they could hold a bottle of oil.

Qinzi stared at Ouyang Xuan with wide eyes, as if to say, "If you don't give me an explanation, you're not allowed to enter the room tonight."

Feeling his lover's gaze, Ouyang Xuan put down the MP3 in his hand.

"I'll listen to you."

Ouyang Xuan's words instantly calmed Qinzi down. "Lovers should have 100% trust in each other. I trust your judgment, Qinzi. I'll do as you say. If you need my help, just tell me directly."

"That's pretty much it."

Qinzi's anger had completely dissipated. "Then Ouyang Xuan, what are you doing looking at that MP3 player? Is there anything strange about it?"

"It's not just this MP3 that's weird."

Ouyang Falcon looked at his lover in front of him and said slowly, "It's that teacher named Arima Kousei. There's something strange about him."

"Four Palaces."

Ouyang Xuan said to the air beside him.

Although it seemed that there were only two people sitting there, there were three cups on the round table. In addition to Qinzi's hot cocoa, there was also Ouyang Xuan's iced cola, and a cup of floral tea placed in an empty seat.

Hina is currently in school, helping to decorate the haunted house for the school festival.

Although it seemed that there was no one at the place where the flower tea was placed, there was actually no one there. Kaguya was not there at all. Instead, she was squatting next to Ouyang Falcon with her hands supporting her chin and staring at him.

From the time she left home until now, except for a few occasions, Kaguya's eyes have always been on Ouyang Falcon. There is no way. According to Ouyang Falcon's calculations, the effect of her disappearing presence will be gone tonight or tomorrow. If she doesn't seize the time to look at Ouyang Falcon more closely, there will be no chance in the future.

At this moment of "spying" on Ouyang Falcon, Kaguya fully demonstrated her intelligence and ability. She looked at Ouyang Falcon like a fangirl, and laughed from time to time. Relying on a mechanism that could only be detected when touching Ouyang Falcon's abdomen for some unknown reason, Kaguya kept poking Ouyang Falcon with her fingers, which gradually evolved to pressing on him with her palms, and finally quietly leaning her head against him.

Yang Xuanjun, hehe, Yang Xuanjun, who can't see me and can be taken advantage of by me at will, is also super cute and handsome.

"Shigong, are you still there?"

Seeing that Kaguya did not respond, Ouyang Jun shouted again and finally called Kaguya back.

"Yes, Lord Ou."

Thanks to the AI voice that was paired with the glasses, although it was highly accurate, it lacked changes in tone, so Kaguya did not reveal the laziness and comfort in her voice. Leaning on Ouyang Jun's thigh, Kaguya announced that this was the best pillow.

"Please investigate the matter of Mr. Kousei Arima, especially his musical career."

"Your will is at your command, Lord Ou."

Ghosts, except for some extremely rare ones and some that have found a home, most ghosts fall into a deep sleep during the day. It is not because they are sleepy, but because they are forced to shut down. This may also be a protection mechanism to prevent some guys who have just become ghosts from running into the sun without knowing it and then turning into ashes.

When they went to check the music classroom during the day, Ouyang Sun and Qinzi both discovered that there was indeed a ghost in the classroom, but she had fallen into a deep sleep and could not be found. Just like Kaguya, you know she is there, but you can't see her or find her.

Ouyang Sun believed that the number of unusual monsters and evil spirits he had encountered recently surpassed anything he had encountered in his ten years on the mainland. Why was there such a wide variety of strange monsters and evil spirits on the island? Was it because the water quality was different? Was there more Sifu in the island water? That was why so many strange creatures were born.

But it doesn't matter to Ouyang Xuan. No matter if it's a three-headed six-armed monster or Godzilla, he will just use a dragon flame blast followed by a thunder spell. If these two spells can't kill him, then he will continue to use other spells, which will always kill him. If it doesn't work, he will use hand-to-hand combat, the golden light curse and fists, which are specially used to fight all kinds of scum, demons and monsters, from the Heavenly Master to Bilian.

If the ghost doesn't come out during the day and can't be found, then we can only wait until night. After a busy day of students, the school is very different from what it is during the day. At least Ouyang Xuan remembers that when he came during the day, there was no huge arched door at the gate.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Kaguya used the money from her family to send all the students who could have stayed overnight in the school for three days back home for dinner. At this time, there were only four people left in the huge school waiting for Ouyang Falcon and others to arrive.

"Teacher, if you're scared, you run first, and Saten and I will cover your rear."

The rolling pin in Chuchun's hand is the same as the equipment he uses during the day.

"After all, I'm still a teacher and a boy. If something really happens, I'll be the one covering for you, Utsuharu-san and Saten-san. How can I let you cover for me?"

Looking at his trembling student who still wanted to protect him, Arima Kousei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Although he usually gave his students the impression of being weak, he himself shouldn't be that weak.

"I'm the Discipline Committee!"

As if to bolster her courage, Hatsuharu pulled at the discipline committee member's armband on her sleeve.

"Actually, I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. Hatsuharu-san, aren't you the Discipline Committee member of our school? Why do you say you are?"

"what?"

Chuchun was stunned by the question. She was the discipline committee member at the school, and this matter had to be kept confidential.

"Well, this... that's because..."

Chuchun, who can't lie, danced with joy and her eyes began to evolve into a mosquito-repellent frog. Fortunately, the door opened the next second, and Lei Zi and Ouyang Shun came in and rescued Chuchun.

"I have some information I need to share with you, Arima-sensei."

Ouyang Sun said to Arima Kousei as soon as he entered the door.

"Eh? Me?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Ou, please speak."

For some reason, Arima Kousei felt nervous and straightened his back involuntarily.

"I think I know the name of this ghost. You know this ghost too."

"I know?"

The sound of the violin during the day seemed to ring in Arima Kousei's ears, and a vague name emerged in his heart, but he was like a person who was afraid of breaking a glass cup, and did not dare to touch the truth that was like a mirage.

"It's your former ensemble partner in junior high school, the violinist, Miyazono Kaoru."

61

Chapter 61: Your face turns purple when you swim.

First it was confusion, then shock, and finally an expression mixed with expectation and disbelief. Because the expression changed so much and so quickly, Arima Kousei didn't even know what expression he had at this moment.

"Mr. Ou, please tell me, is this a joke?"

"Not really."

Kotoko took the MP3 from Ouyang Sun's hand, brought it in front of Arima Kousei, and placed it in Arima Kousei's palm.

"During the daytime, Ouyang performed an exorcism on you and discovered that the evil spirit that was haunting you was very similar to the evil spirit that remained on this MP3 player, so we went to investigate."

"I do have an MP3 player similar to this one, but—"

"After you gave it back to Miss Miyazono Kaoru's parents, they decided that since it belonged to their daughter, it should be given to her. They placed the MP3 player in front of her tombstone as a sacrifice."

Kotoko began to explain the information she had obtained from Kaguya, "But you two may not know this. After all, this kind of knowledge is not something most people would learn. Although the cemetery allows families to bring offerings, in order to maintain the cleanliness of the cemetery, the staff will clear away the offerings every night after closing."

"The MP3 player was taken away by the staff at that time and kept in the warehouse for a long time. A few days ago, when the cemetery closed down, a teacher from your school bought the MP3 player at a flea market and brought it to this school."

Whether it is exorcism or combat, the importance of intelligence is extremely great. Although Ouyang Xuan could get some intelligence from the Shinomiya family in the past, in most cases, in order to reduce entanglement with the Shinomiya family, Ouyang Xuan did not use it much. But it was not very useful. Such delicate work of unraveling the mystery is more suitable for Qinzi to handle.

Now when Ouyang Xuan wants to get intelligence, he just asks his employee Kaguya to do it. As for the channels his employees use to get the information, it is not within Ouyang Xuan's consideration. He has to believe in the employees' own abilities and believes that there is no need for reasons.

"But, but how can you be sure that this is Xun... the one that Miyazono gave me?"

Kousei Arima really wants Kotoko to give a definite answer, but he also doesn't want her to give a definite answer. If this is really the MP3 that Kaoru Miyazono gave him, then wouldn't Kaoru Miyazono have spent the past ten years in a dark warehouse?

"Arima-sensei."

The voice came from Ouyang Falcon, but the person who spoke was not Ouyang Falcon, but Kaguya.

"This MP3 player is a prize from an elementary school violin competition. Each MP3 player has a unique number inside. You can see it by simply opening it."

Kaguya continued, "We've used Lord Ou's ability to examine it. Although the outer surface of this MP3 has weathered from red to a pale pink, the serial number inside is still clearly visible, indicating that it belongs to Miss Miyazono Kaoru."

"That Gongyuan she——"

Kousei Arima was eager to know the answer to the question in his heart.

"She hasn't been awake for over a decade. What you saw of her yesterday was the first time she woke up."

Ouyang Falcon said, "I have dealt with many ghosts who have just awakened. You have to trust me."
