Yuigahama Yui has been missing for two days. After Yukinoshita Yukino learned the news from Hiratsuka Shizuka yesterday, she has not shown up all day today.
Even without evidence, Li Mo believed that the other party was most likely involved in some incident while looking for Yuigahama, which led to her disappearance.
"Is there no way to contact them through mobile phone?" Li Mo confirmed with Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"Forget answering the phone, their phones are completely unreachable..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka took out a women's cigarette, but perhaps because she felt it was not nice to smoke in front of students, she stuffed it back into her pocket irritably: "That bald dean won't let me call the police..."
"Hey, doesn't the dean have thick hair?" Li Mo asked in surprise.
"That's a wig. The guy's been bald for a long time, but he's been wearing a wig to cover it up."
Li Mo: “…”
I always feel like I heard some secrets that I shouldn't have heard.
If this gets exposed, won't the dean expel me? Is this the so-called dark side of school?
But he could probably understand what the other person was thinking.
If the school called the police to report that a student was missing, then when it came time to assign blame, the school, as the person who reported the incident, would inevitably get some of the blame. This was obviously something the president of Sobu High School did not want to see and would find difficult to accept.
"Teacher Hiratsuka, can you tell me the address of Yuigahama's house?" Li Mo asked.
"No, due to professional ethics, I cannot disclose the home address of any student," Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head. "And do you think I haven't thought about such an obvious thing? I've already been to her house, but there's no one there."
"Teacher Hiratsuka, have you ever encountered a situation like 'sitting on the sofa watching TV but can't find the remote control'?" Li Mo suddenly asked an unrelated question.
"Well, of course I have... What's wrong? Do you suddenly want to watch TV?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked somewhat confusedly.
"No, what I meant was 'I won't be satisfied unless you stand up and let me confirm with my own eyes whether the remote control is under your butt.'" Li Mo said seriously.
"You should give mature adults some trust..." Hiratsuka Shizuka said helplessly after hearing the hidden meaning of Li Mo's words.
"Right ass?"
"To the remote!"
"Did the teacher drop this gold Porsche remote, or this silver one..."
"Where did you come from, the Lake God?"
"Or this silver egg remote control?"
"drink!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka threw a quick and fierce jab at Li Mo's chest, but the latter dodged it deftly.
"Damn it, why do I always miss..." The vicious older beauty teacher clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.
"Violent opposition!" Li Mo protested fearlessly.
"How can a teacher disciplining a student be considered violence?" Hiratsuka Shizuka argued confidently, "And I'll control the force to a level that doesn't cause any external injuries, so even if I'm accused, I can get away with it."
"It's not really violence, it's completely lynching." Li Mo complained.
After fooling around for a while, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly realized that now was not the time to continue chatting with Li Mo about these meaningless things.
"The following words are just my own words."
She glanced at Li Mo and said loudly, "Yesterday, when Yukinoshita borrowed the student roster and club application form from me for investigation, she seemed to have written something in her usual notebook. That notebook should still be on the table in the service club's activity room."
"Thanks, Hiratsuka-sensei."
"I can't hear what you said~" Shizuka Hiratsuka pretended to be stupid and left in a hurry.
After watching her back disappear around the corner, Li Mo went to the activity room and found the notebook that Yukinoshita had left there.
This thing is filled with the girl's daily reading experience, as well as some very girlish complaints about the content of the book, and on the last and newest page, there is an address.
Li Mo followed the map and soon found the house at the address.
Judging from the 'Yuigahama' sign outside the courtyard, this should be Yuigahama Yui's home.
Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka and I said, the house really doesn't feel very popular.
However, unlike Shizuka Hiratsuka who could only observe from the outside, Li Mo was not so law-abiding.
He directly ordered the snakes that followed him quietly to enter the house through the ventilation duct, and then opened the door of Yuigahama's house from inside the house.
As soon as he walked into the house, he smelled a foul odor.
Thankfully, it wasn't a smell like a corpse, but more like the peculiar smell of a pet shop.
After walking a few steps inside, Li Mo found the source of the smell.
It was a rather weak-looking dachshund, with some dog poop and suspicious water stains on the living room floor.
"Come to think of it, Yuigahama does seem to be raising a dog..."
Li Mo found some dog food in the corner, added some to the dachshund's empty plate, and added some tap water to the basin next to it.
The dachshund, which originally looked weak and powerless, dragged itself to the edge of the plate, and then began to inhale food like a storm. In the blink of an eye, it had finished all the dog food that Li Mo had poured, and then began to lick up the water in big gulps.
Li Mo also wandered around the house.
He vaguely felt something, but he couldn't be sure whether his feeling was correct.
"The magic power is stirring... There must be something nearby..."
Just when Li Mo was getting anxious, the dachshund, which had eaten the dog food and drank a lot of water, began to circle in one place.
"Do you want me to investigate this place?"
Li Mo looked at the little dachshund that was still spinning in circles, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed as if he had made up his mind.
"Don't let me down..."
As he spoke, Li Mo placed his hand on his right eye, or to be more precise, on the eyepatch of his right eye.
Then he gently applied force with his fingers and pulled off the eye patch, revealing the eye that had been hidden under the medical gauze, with the pupil an abnormally bright red.
Chapter 28: Vision of Truth
From the beginning of his journey through time until now, Li Mo has received many gifts from the nameless magic book.
But the most precious thing inside is not the mysterious spell and the many magical association huts.
It was this 'magic eye' that he had been wearing an eyepatch to try to hide.
No matter how powerful a spell is, it still requires magic power to drive it. Without magic power, the spell itself is useless. Although the association hut is novel and interesting, it is just a house after all, and its various functions are nothing special.
The only thing he has is this Demon Eye. Although he obtained it a long time ago, its preciousness is comparable to the SSR in the card drawing game pool, which has a drop rate of only 0.6%. It does not require magic power to work, and can be said to be plug and play.
But this is precisely where the problem lies.
Mystical Eye: Truth Sight, theoretically speaking, can be considered the ability of the 'All-Seeing Eye'.
The bright red pupils stared at the empty air.
The next moment, an endless amount of information flooded into Li Mo's mind.
From the rate of expansion of the universe in various dimensions to the physical properties of every speck of dust in the air, all the information, whether useful or not, was extracted and stuffed into Li Mo's brain. The amount was so large that it even made Li Mo feel dizzy.
Actually, this is already considered good.
When Li Mo first gained the ability to see the truth, he was completely unprepared for the side effects and tried it out happily.
As a result, he was caught off guard and was struck directly by Gojo Satoru's Infinite Space. His brain bandwidth was directly occupied by junk information, and at that moment, his brain seemed to have stopped even thinking.
The almost endless amount of information made Li Mo's brain seem to boil. After just a few seconds, blood gushed out of his mouth and nose because his body could not bear the burden and he fainted. It was thanks to this that he watched it for a while longer. Otherwise, even if he could survive, he would probably become demented.
After that, Li Mo, still frightened, almost never used the Truth Vision again.
If Li Mo hadn't had any clue about the disappearance of the two people from the service department today, and if he didn't feel that there was something strange about it, it would not have been so easy for him to make up his mind to use the truth vision again.
After being mentally prepared, the situation this time was much better than last time.
But even so, Li Mo still felt that his brain was like a balloon that was rapidly expanding with useless information and could explode at any time.
He tried hard to ignore the meaningless information and diverted almost all of his attention in this life to carefully search for the information he wanted.
A moment later, bright red blood flowed from his nose, and Li Mo put on the blindfold again in time to block his ability to see the truth.
The brain itself has no pain nerves, but at this moment Li Mo felt a dull pain in his brain, as if someone had inserted a red-hot iron rod into it and was stirring it vigorously.
He took out the Sorting Hat from his backpack and put it on his head. The effect of the Sorting Hat itself in strengthening his spirit and will was immediate, and he immediately felt a lot more comfortable in his head.
Li Mo wiped the blood from his nose and took a deep breath.
Although if there were other people present, from an objective perspective, the whole process from Li Mo taking off the blindfold to putting it back on only took about three to five seconds, but he had already obtained the information he wanted - a fragile companion space appeared in this room.
It can also be called an 'inherent barrier', 'domain' or 'devil's cave', in short, it is a strange space that is not formed naturally.
There is no doubt that both the owner of this place, Yuigahama Yui, and Yukinoshita Yukino who came to look for her, have most likely fallen into that strange space.
If he continued to observe with the Truth Vision for a while, he should be able to find the key to breaking through or even destroying that space, but Li Mo really couldn't afford the cost of the Truth Vision, so he could only stop here.
"Although this doesn't mean I can't get in..."
Li Mo took off the bandage on his left hand - this thing, along with the eye patch on his right eye, was regarded by many boys at school as a symbol of "Chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome), but in fact it was not the case. If possible, he did not want these two things to be shown in such an obvious way.
As mentioned before, after Li Mo came to this world, he completed many tasks from the system, or the nameless magic book, and received many gifts as a result.
But there are only two 'spells' obtained.
The reason why Li Mo seriously warned Wu Geng Liuli not to cast spells at will or it would cause serious backlash was, on the one hand, to scare the girl so that she would pay more attention to the existence of the Chiba Magic Society and not abuse spells. On the other hand, it could also be regarded as Li Mo's advice based on his own experience.
He had indeed been bitten by the curse, but it was not the [snake] shown to the girl, but the first curse [scale] he had obtained long ago.
At that time, Li Mo didn't know much about spells, and he didn't have the habit of looking up the nameless magic book. It was just that after obtaining the spell and the experience of casting it, he was subconsciously overwhelmed by the powerful force of the spell. Regardless of the fact that he had almost no magic power, he forcibly used the spell [Scale], which eventually led to backlash.
The power of the curse [Scales], after the backlash, resided in his left hand.
Even if Li Mo has enough magic power now, it is difficult for him to use the spell [Scale] in a normal way. He can only activate [Scale] by directly touching it with his left hand which is hosting the spell.
The effect of the spell [Scales] itself is just like what the name implies, generating "scales".
This spell can generate invisible scales with powerful defensive capabilities, and can also directly transform living things and even inorganic matter, causing scales to grow on their surface.
Of course, this is not the point. Theoretically, [scale] also means "isolation". The outside of the scale is the outside world, and the inside of the scale is oneself. The scale itself is a dividing line.
Although it has not yet reached the level of forming its own world, [Scales] can indeed separate Li Mo himself from the "world".
This means that when [Scales] is activated, Li Mo can enter different spaces as an independent individual.
“…It actually worked.”
After using the Vision of Truth to distinguish the differences in the boundaries of the barrier, activate the spell [Scale] to cut yourself off from the normal world, and contact the companion space as an independent existence. Then, release [Scale] to complete the smuggling.
What immediately appeared before Li Mo was a space so strange that it gave him a headache.
——At first glance, it looks like a cave, but the ceiling is actually a bumpy rock cookie. What looks like stalactites on the ground are actually deformed finger biscuits. Cocoa flows everywhere like magma, and the air has a sweet smell that makes people sick.
Li Mo could probably guess who the owner of this space was.
Chapter 29 Dessert Cave
In fact, you can understand it if you think about it carefully.
If both Yukinoshita and Yuigahama fell into this space, then according to the order of their disappearance, the owner of this space, which has appeared for at least three days, naturally cannot be Yukinoshita who disappeared today.
But if you say that it was Yuigahama Yui who created this space, Li Mo cannot accept it personally.
If you want to say why...
"Too normal."
What he meant by natural was not that a space composed of desserts was normal, but that on the premise of accepting this reality, the desserts that made up this huge underground cave were too normal.
Although the cookies on top of the cave look bumpy, they are dotted with wheel-sized chocolate chips, and cream filling occasionally seeps out from the gaps above. Combined with the aroma of butter and sugar, it tastes like the most authentic Danish cookies.
The ground material is roughly the same, except that there are clusters of huge finger biscuit stalactites standing everywhere, and there are also matcha chiffon cakes that probably simulate the terrain of quicksand pits. If you look closely, you can see the underground cocoa river gurgling, and macarons can be seen everywhere instead of gravel.
All of these desserts are perfectly normal, the kind you'd find in a dessert shop—but in other words, they're good enough to be sold in a store.
Li Mo found it hard to accept that the barrier created by Yuigahama Yui, who could make cookies look like ghosts, was so normal.
"Forget it, saving people is more important..."
Li Mo muttered and tried to ignore the desserts, instead looking for the purpose of his adventure.
As a result, before he had taken a few steps, he saw a huge figure slowly walking out of the stalactite forest made of finger biscuits.
