Regarding the issue between Sonozaki Shion and Hojo Satoko, Fang Zheng has not yet had any clue. For now, if Hojo Teppei does not come back, he will not be able to intervene. As for Sonozaki Shion, unless the other party takes the initiative to bring it up, Fang Zheng will not be able to intervene.

He couldn't say it directly. Fang Zheng didn't have any good solution for this, so he could only let nature take its course for the time being.

Not to mention, now he has another thing to be busy with.

That is the upcoming Cotton Festival.

As Hinamizawa's annual festival, the Cotton-streaming Festival is also a very lively event. Every year on this day, people gather here to enjoy the dance performed by the shrine maiden, and then put the cotton that was torn during the ceremony into the river.

middle.

As a horror world, this festival is naturally associated with murders. It is rumored that one person dies and one person disappears on the day of the Midori Festival every year. Well...fortunately there is no Shinigami elementary school student wearing glasses, otherwise

If so, it may only be a matter of time before the case is solved.

As a school teacher, Fang Zheng naturally has to participate in it and is responsible for some heavy physical labor, but Fang Zheng doesn't care. On the contrary, this is a good way for him to get closer to the villagers of Hinamize. After all, considering

When it comes to what he wants to do next, it would be very beneficial to improve the reputation of the villagers as soon as possible.

With the help of the Zerg's restructured body, Fang Zheng made a gorgeous and perfect cameo appearance. He was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and imitated Lei Feng's unshakable spirit of doing good things for a hundred years. Not only did the part he was responsible for successfully completed, but he even did a lot for others.

Work. Coupled with Fang Zheng's charm and acting methods, the villagers also praised this young man who had just arrived in the village. It can be said that Fang Zheng also took advantage of this opportunity to gain a reputation.

Finally, it’s the eve of the Midori Festival...

"That's it for today, thank you all for your hard work."

Fang Zheng clapped his hands, looked at the exhibition stand that had been built, and turned to look around him. There, Keiichi Maehara and other members of the Academy Life Department were also sweating profusely, but everyone had a satisfied expression on their faces. Regardless.

In other words, the sense of accomplishment that comes from everyone working together and working together is irreplaceable.

"Then it's still the same as before. I'll treat everyone's drinks today. Keiichi, you can go and buy them back. If you have anything you want to drink, just ask. By the way, I want coffee."

As he said this, Fangzheng took out his wallet and threw it over, while Keiichi took the wallet with a smile and waved his hand.

"Teacher is really generous, so I won't be polite! Everyone, what do you want to drink?"

"I want orange juice!"

"I want a Coke!"

"Please bring me a can of black tea!"

Soon, Keiichi and others left the venue and went to buy drinks. At this moment, Fangzheng saw a man and a woman walking into the shrine and walking in the direction where they were. The man was about thirty years old, wearing a vest and

Wearing shorts and holding a camera in her hand, she looked like she was dressed as a photographer. The woman was wearing a green coat and had long golden shawl hair, and she looked very quiet and virtuous.

When he saw these two people, Fang Zheng suddenly narrowed his eyes.

There is no other reason, because the woman who appears in front of him at this moment is the ultimate and most evil enemy in this world - Takano Sansi.

"Ah, it's really lively."

A man dressed as a photographer came over, raised his camera, took a picture of everyone, and then raised his hand to say hello. The woman next to him also nodded to Fang Zheng and others.

"good afternoon."

"Ah, this is Mr. Tomitake and Miss Takano, hello."

Seeing the two people appear, Meiyin who was beside Fang Zheng also hurriedly stood up and said hello. When they saw Fang Zheng, they both looked over curiously. Then Fu Zhu spoke.

"You are the new teacher in the rumor, right? My name is Tomitake, and I am a freelance photographer from Tokyo. This is Miss Takano Sansi, who works as a nurse in the clinic."

"Hello, this is the first time we meet. My name is Fang Zheng."

At this moment, Fang Zheng also nodded to the two of them and said hello. Then, he quietly glanced at the woman.

This is the biggest boss in Cicada World, Takano Sansi.

Fang Zheng knew that the entire world of Cicada was divided into two storylines. In Akari's storyline, the protagonists went on a rampage and killed others due to "Hinamizawa Syndrome". And in the secret storyline, the protagonist was

The woman in front of her. Her adoptive father Takano Kazusan once discovered the existence of "Hinamizawa Syndrome", but due to various reasons, his grandfather's research was suspended and eventually died in depression. Takano Sansi vowed to achieve the goal of his grandfather

It is his last wish to continue researching this disease.

According to Takano Kazusan's inference, "Hinamizawa Syndrome" is a disease caused by parasites infecting the human brain. It will secretly affect human emotions, and the most important thing is that there is a kind of parasite in the parasite.

The leader is called the "Queen". All parasite-infected persons cannot stay too far away from the Queen, otherwise they will get sick. This is one of the reasons why the residents of Hinamizawa rarely leave their hometown. Not only that, once the Queen is infected

If one person dies, other patients will go crazy within 48 hours.

In the story, in order to prove to others that the research of his adoptive father Takano Ichisan was correct, Takano Sansi not only killed the "Queen"-infected Rika Furute, but even dispatched his own mountain dog troops

Released poison gas, killing more than 2,000 villagers in Hinamizawa. Even when Rika's parents stopped her from continuing to experiment on their daughter, in order to keep her research unhindered, Takano Sansi killed

Pear Blossom's parents.

It can be said that in order to prove that his research on his adoptive father is correct, Takano Sansi has done whatever it takes.

Because of this, Fang Zheng naturally didn't like this woman at all.

Faced with Fang Zheng's response, Takano Sansi smiled slightly.

"Please give me some advice. Mr. Fangzheng is very famous in Hinamizawa. I often hear patients talk about you in the clinic...I heard that you just returned from studying in the United States? Why did you come to such a small place?"

"I came to Hinamizawa because of the invitation from Chie Rumiko-senpai and I happened to have some research on hand to complete. Although it is a small village, it is very peaceful. I enjoy life here very much."

"Really………"

Upon hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Takano Sansi gave him a meaningful look.

"So...Mr. Fangzheng, do you know about the troubles of the God of the Society?"

"cause trouble?"

Faced with Takano Sansi's inquiry, Fang Zheng was "appropriately" stunned for a moment. At this moment, Meiyin beside him suddenly lost his expression and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

.

"That's right. Does Mr. Fangzheng know about the Hinimizawa Dam plan?"

"I heard a little bit about the plan to build a dam here."

Fang Zheng nodded, of course he knew what Takano Sansi planned to say. But now, I should cooperate with your performance and just watch your performance quietly.

"Yes, in order to oppose this plan, the residents launched a protest movement here. At that time, they centered on this shrine to pray for their victory."

"Now it seems that the plan has been withdrawn."

Since you are an actor, you naturally have to be professional, so Fang Zheng also put on a confused expression at the right time.

"But, what does this have to do with the so-called mischief caused by the gods of the imperial society?"

"It's very simple."

Takano Sansi seemed to be very keen on telling this to others, so when faced with Fang Zheng's inquiry, she started "popularizing science" with a smile.

“Four years ago, the supervisor at the Hinimizawa Dam construction site was killed, and the following year, a couple who were local residents of Hinimizawa but supported the construction of the dam accidentally fell off a cliff and died while traveling.

Then in the third year, the director of the shrine died suddenly due to an unexplained strange disease. And last year, someone discovered the body of the family member of the Hinamizawa resident who died unexpectedly and was beaten to death."

"In other words, deaths occur every year?"

"That's right, and besides, these incidents and accidents will definitely happen on the night of the Cotton Festival every year."

Having said this, Takano Sansi's face was already flushed and he looked excited.

"If this is not a hoax or an accident, what are these incidents about?"

"Then it's naturally a crime."

Fang Zheng was not as easily deceived as Maehara Keiichi, so he gave the answer directly.

"This kind of thing is not uncommon. Killings are carried out in the name of divine rituals. Similar cases have occurred in many areas. I only hope that the police can find the murderer as soon as possible and let him plead guilty and be punished."

"Well……………"

Perhaps Fang Zheng's answer was so unexpected to Takano Sansi that the woman's expression froze for a moment, and then she spoke without giving up.

"Mr. Fangzheng, do you really think this is a crime? You know, these four incidents all occurred on the night of the Cotton Festival? Four times in a row? Can this be considered a coincidence?"

"Of course it's not a coincidence four times in a row, but according to what you said, Miss Takano, it's actually not difficult to explain. The Cotton-streaming Festival is the grandest festival in Hinamizawa, so people will definitely go here on the day it is held, and other places

Naturally, there are not many people. At this time, if a murder is carried out, wouldn't the probability of witnesses becoming smaller? There is also the sudden death of the director of Fute Shrine - I have not seen the autopsy report, so

It is inconvenient to say more, but in fact science has long proven that human psychological activities will have a certain impact on physical functions. As for the incident in the fourth year... Miss Takano, you yourself said that you were beaten to death,

So why do you exclude man-made crimes? Let me say that among these four things, only the accident the next year was a coincidence. The others almost have nothing to do with the so-called foul play. Ms. Takano, I can understand

People are curious about curious stories, but it is not good to consume dead people as entertainment material."

"this……………"

Facing Fang Zheng's rebuttal, Takano Sansi was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say at all. Others were also dumbfounded after hearing what Fang Zheng said. Only Meiyin looked at Fang Zheng beside her with a complicated expression.

Don't know what to say.

And at the same time, suddenly, a voice sounded from behind everyone.
