Beichuan Si naturally did not hold back.

He removed the white stationery and glanced over it.

The will was filled with messy handwriting.

Seeing these worm-like characters sprawling across the page, Beichuan Si involuntarily frowned.

It was strange.

Because no matter who it was, the handwriting in a will should not be so sloppy.

After all, a will symbolizes the end of a person's life, and even if not treated seriously, the handwriting should not be this messy.

A simple analogy would be—

The will of Inuzuka Youka's elder brother looked as if someone was holding a knife behind him, forcing him to write quickly.

And indeed, the content of the will confirmed Beichuan's speculation:

"The curse of the "Catastrophe Box" is real, the catastrophe killed Fukuda. That brutal way of dying... must be the curse of the Catastrophe Box, right? Thinking about it... I must be next, right?"

"I do not regret using the Catastrophe Box, because that guy Fukuda... that guy... It was really good that he was killed."

"But... the reality of death is really stepping closer to me. I can sense it... I can feel it! There's something right beside me!"

"When I open the cabinet, it's inside the cabinet!"

"When I open the drawer, it's in the drawer!"

"Even when I close my eyes... I find... it's inside my mind!"

"It's coming... it's getting closer...!!! No, no, no, no! I can feel it, it's right behind me now! It's watching me! I dare not turn around!"

"Sorry, Yukari, and my father, mother..."

The content of the will ended here.

However, the word "mother" was not completed, and trailing behind this unfinished character was a harrowing thin black line.

The will was not completed.

It must have been that Inuzuka Youka's elder brother discovered something approaching him, thus he wrote it in a state of panic.

The twisted, hurried handwriting made Otomoto Ai and Shen Gu Mirai feel a chill when they looked at it.

But—

Beichuan Si, expressionless throughout, closed the will.

His heart was undisturbed, and he even had the capacity to think about some other matters.

Why did Inuzuka Youka's elder brother have to use the Catastrophe Box to curse Fukuda?

What exactly was the conflict between him and Fukuda?

Thinking this, Beichuan Si could not help but lift his head and turn towards Miss Inuzuka, "There's something I'd like to ask Miss Inuzuka..."

Hm?

Beichuan Si raised an eyebrow.

Because he noticed that Miss Inuzuka's gaze seemed to be fixed on him.

And there was even a hint of a daze?

Beichuan Si subconsciously touched his face and, finding nothing dirty, knocked on the table:

"Miss Inuzuka?"

"Ah?"

Miss Inuzuka finally snapped out of it.

"There is something I am quite curious about, I hope you can tell me."

Beichuan Si said with a steady voice.

"Sorry... Senior Beichuan, please ask."

Miss Inuzuka coughed embarrassedly.

But her gaze still occasionally drifted towards Beichuan Si.

To be precise... she was looking at Beichuan Si's collar.

Hanging at Beichuan Si's collar was a small doll.

Because the position of the doll was conspicuous, Miss Inuzuka saw it right from the start.

Of course, initially Miss Inuzuka did not mind, as there are many eccentric people in the world; one cannot simply categorize someone as strange because they hung a small doll on their collar...

But—

While Beichuan Si was scanning the contents of the will, Miss Inuzuka unintentionally discovered.

The doll... was moving.

Perhaps because it had been hanging at the collar for too long, the doll seemed tired, and its round little legs even twitched.

But... can dolls get tired?

Miss Inuzuka couldn't help but rub her eyes and looked again.

Just when she was concentrating, the voice of Beichuan Si rang out again.

"Miss Inuzuka?"

"Ah?!" Inuzuka Youka snapped back to reality in a daze.

She quickly realized the situation and her face turned red as she hurriedly stood up and bowed several times to Beichuan Si:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Senior Beichuan, I was distracted just now. I didn't hear what you were saying."

Beichuan Si waved his hand dismissively:

"...No problem. I'll just say it again. I wanted to ask, what exactly is the conflict between your brother and Fukuda that even made him resort to using the 'Pandora's Box' to curse Fukuda."

Upon hearing this, Inuzuka Youka's face, which was originally apologetic, suddenly changed.

Her apologetic expression turned somewhat clenched, and her tone also carried a hint of hostility:

"It's about that... the affair between Fukuda and that woman... those two bastards..."

Inuzuka Youka clenched her fists tightly.

The affair between Fukuda and that woman?

Beichuan Si's gaze flickered.

Just hearing this, he already had a rough idea of what had happened.

After all, the only things that could foster such intense hatred among high schoolers, apart from bullying, were—

"Romantic issues."

Beichuan Si murmured to himself.

Yes.

According to Inuzuka Youka, it was just a matter of Inuzuka's girlfriend breaking up with him and throwing herself into the arms of Fukuda.

Then love turned into pure murderous intent...

In anger, Inuzuka used the 'Pandora's Box' and ended up being transported to that world together with Fukuda.

"In fact... it was that guy who seduced Fukuda first. I had heard from the beginning that woman used to flirt with other guys, and I had even warned him when he made her his girlfriend."

Inuzuka Youka's eyes gleamed with tears:

"My brother was at fault too, that woman was no good from the start, yet he still used such a cursed tool for a woman like that."

Seeing Inuzuka Youka losing control of her emotions, Shen Gu Mirai and Otomoto Ai promptly came to her, gently comforting her.

Meanwhile, Beichuan Si pondered on the side.

Inuzuka Youka's statement had simply shifted all the clues towards Inuzuka's girlfriend.

As the girl who had mediated between Fukuda and Inuzuka, what information did she hold?

Maybe, Inuzuka's girlfriend had just the right clue to solve this complex puzzle.

Thinking this, the next target was clear—

Find Inuzuka's girlfriend and ask her for details.

While observing Inuzuka Youka, who covered her face and sobbed, Beichuan Si quietly waited for her to calm down.

After about seven or eight minutes.

Inuzuka Youka finally stopped crying, looked at Otomoto Ai and Shen Gu Mirai with reddened eyes and apologetically said: "I'm sorry, Ai, Sister Mirai, for worrying you both."

It was hard to tell what kind of hypnotic spell Shen Gu Mirai had given Inuzuka Youka.

She directly addressed her as Sister Mirai.

And this terrifying interpersonal capacity was probably only characteristic of Shen Gu Mirai.

"Oh, it's nothing. After all, I know the feelings of losing a loved one for quite some time."

Shen Gu Mirai smiled as she took Inuzuka Youka's hand, and subtly signaled to Beichuan Si:

'Remember to ask now, Mr. Temple.'

Receiving this signal, Beichuan Si nodded silently, then began to ask: "Miss Inuzuka, could you tell me about your brother's 'ex-girlfriend's' situation?"

"Uh..." Inuzuka Youka turned around, looking hesitant: "It's possible, but... Senior Beichuan, usual methods of seeking her out for questioning may not work because she..."

Inuzuka Youka's expression troubled.

"What happened to her?" Beichuan Si narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that Inuzuka Youka's brother's ex-girlfriend had also died?

If that was the case... it would be somewhat...

Just as Beichuan Si was pondering this, Inuzuka Youka finally spoke:

"Because that woman... now has a boyfriend who happens to be the leader of a notorious local delinquent school, trying to reach her to ask questions... might be very difficult."

Gang leader?

Upon hearing this, Shen Gu Mirai and Otomoto Ai instinctively looked towards Beichuan Si.

Then both fell silent.

Hmm...

In the presence of Beichuan Si, a gang leader...

Well... okay?
