Chapter 194 New clues
"Then let's go eat first, I'm hungry." Hearing that Mr. Jiang Feng would come to help, Yuji Itadori didn't plan to fight to the death here, and eating was more important.
"Uh." Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara were also speechless. Is this the only thing you think about every day?
Outside the convenience store, Megumi Fushiguro and the others chose sandwiches. Although Teacher Jiang Feng would come to help them soon, they still wanted to see if they could solve it themselves.
"There is no filth or smell at all. I even doubt whether there is any cursed spirit here." Although he didn't find anything, Fushiguro Megumi was always uneasy because this place was too normal. As a famous haunted place, it shouldn't be so clean.
"Ah, we are back to square one again. I thought that with an acquaintance like Fushiguro, this could be over quickly."
Yuji Itadori took a bite of the sandwich and said, "We can't give up here either. This is the most likely place. If we screen again, it will take a long time."
"The longer we delay, the more likely those cursed people will be attacked. The mortality rate is 100% now. I don't want anyone else to die."
Fushiguro Megumi agreed with Yuji Itadori's point of view, "Yes, there must be a problem here, but we haven't discovered it yet."
Listening to their conversation, an idea suddenly occurred to Akira Nitta, who said, "Isn't bungee jumping popular here? Maybe the key is the jump. Let's give it a try."
"It's useless. We've already tried it with Japanese knotweed."
Looking at the plastic rope in Yuji Itadori's hand, Akira Nitta was terrified. Is this the kind of plastic rope you use for testing? You are really not afraid of death.
Just when Fushiguro and his companions didn't know what to do, someone shouted to them, "Brother Fushiguro, we finally found you. That's great."
Hearing the shouting, Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki turned their heads and saw a boy riding a bicycle with a girl parked not far away.
"Who are they?"
"He should be Fushiguro's junior. Didn't you always want to bully him, Kugisaki? Did you forget it so quickly?"
The boy and girl got off their bikes and said, "We came here because we heard that you were investigating the Bashiba Bridge incident."
Fushiguro Megumi looked at the girl in front of her with short hair and a few freckles on her face, and asked tentatively: "Are you Fujinuma?"
"That's great, you still remember me." Fujinuma was still somewhat happy to hear that Megumi Fushiguro still remembered who he was.
Feeling the playful gazes of Yuji Itadori and the others, Fushiguro Megumi explained expressionlessly: "This is my classmate."
Fushiguro Megumi looked at the boy who brought Fujinuma over, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's like this. I told my sister about you guys, and she insisted on coming to see you, so I brought her here."
After hearing his explanation, everyone looked at Fujinuma again, wanting to see what she wanted.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Fujinuma said, "It's like this, Mr. Morishita is our neighbor. He was having a funeral recently. I heard that he died in an accident."
"I heard from my brother that you are here to investigate Mr. Morishita and Hachihachi Bridge, so I want to ask if there is any connection between the two."
As he spoke, a cold sweat broke out on Fujinuma's face, as if he had thought of something bad.
Seeing her strange behavior, Akira Nitta secretly shook his head at Fushiguro Megumi, meaning not to tell her anything about it.
After receiving the hint from Akira Nitta, Megumi Fushiguro decisively said: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Morishita's death has nothing to do with the Eighty-Eight Bridge."
But it was obvious that Fujinuma had already fallen into panic. No matter what she said, it was useless. She lowered her head and said in fear: "But I have been to the Eighty-Eight Bridge. I was only in the second grade at that time. I went there one night."
At this point, other people looked at her less often, intentionally or unintentionally, because they knew that this matter might really be related to the Eighty-Eight Bridge.
Nitta Akira didn't want to let go of this hard-earned clue, so he asked, "Have you ever encountered some strange things that only you have encountered?"
Speaking of strange things, Fujinuma's pupils widened, and he crossed his arms and said: "The automatic door of my house would not close when I came back, and I was very scared because of this."
"I just happened to hear about your story and thought of the Eighty-Eight Bridge."
At this moment, Fushiguro Megumi and the others have already determined that Fujinuma in front of them has been targeted by the murderous curse spirit.
Considering that the four victims were killed about two weeks after the automatic door became abnormal, Nitta Akira asked, "How long has the automatic door incident happened?"
"It's been a week, and it happens every other day."
Hearing that there was only a week left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was still time. Even if they couldn't solve it, Teacher Jiang Feng would come over tomorrow at the latest to take care of it.
"Are you the only one who went to the Eighty-Eight Bridge? Who else went with you?"
Facing Kugisaki Nobara's question, Fujinuma's face turned ugly and he said in horror: "So the two are related, right?"
Seeing that Fujinuma might have guessed something, Nitta Akira quickly came out to smooth things over, "It's okay, I'm from the university's paranormal research club. Fushiguro and the others are here to help me research paranormal events. Isn't it better to ask more people to get more information?"
Logically speaking, Fujinuma shouldn't have believed such words, but at this moment she just wanted to find an explanation to free herself from her fear. As long as what they said was not too outrageous, she could accept it.
"Is that so? There were two seniors from the club who went with us." As he said this, he turned his head and looked at Fushiguro Megumi.
"By the way, Fushiguro-san, your sister Tsumiki-san is here too."
Fujinuma's words directly shocked Yuji Itadori and the others. Since it has been confirmed that the Eighty-Eight Bridge is related to this cursed spirit, then Fushiguro Megumi's sister Tsumiki may also be in danger.
"Okay, then I'll go ask my sister." Fushiguro Megumi behaved as usual, without any abnormality.
But Yuji Yu and the others all knew that Fushiguro Megumi's heart was definitely not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
"How about this, I'll send them both home first, and you guys continue your investigation." As the investigation supervisor, Akira Nitta has the obligation to prevent ordinary people from coming into contact with the curse. She sent the Fujinuma siblings back in order to dispel their bad thoughts on the way.
Akira Nitta took the Fujinuma siblings away, while Megumi Fushiguro stood there motionless. Noticing something strange about Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori hurried forward to check on her.
At this moment, Fushiguro Megumi was sweating profusely. After learning that the only person he cared about might have been in trouble, he was no longer as calm and composed as before.
