Night of the black moon!
Or the matte moon phenomenon!
This is the eternal nightmare of all human beings after the Purple Moon Calendar!
In this kind of night, all kinds of weird events are easy to happen, and it is also a stage where all kinds of abnormalities and mental illnesses are extremely high, and many unimaginable cases have occurred.
Even the investigators of the kingdom may fall into some strange situation and disappear.
"The gate to the spirit world... has been opened."
Relying on the inspiration of Murphy's body, Sulu spread his perception, and soon got a certain 'truth'.
"According to the kingdom's propaganda, monsters are flesh and blood, and can be killed by steam-powered arms, iron axes, and machine guns... But in fact, there are still many monsters that are spirit bodies, and physical attacks are ineffective... This is a fact that makes ordinary people desperate. So it was covered up? I don't think the reason is too good... "
"However, the 'Extraordinary' of this world must know the truth..."
Sulu slowly withdrew his inspiration, cautiously did not touch anything strange, and explored the spirit world.
This is what he is currently unable to do.
"Murphy's parents probably died because they were involved in a supernatural incident... the local spirit world? It seems that we must investigate in the future."
In the spirit world, all information is reserved. As long as the future rank is high enough, it is not difficult to even directly divination the 'true culprit'.
"Now, it's time to sleep."
Sulu turned off the gas lamp and went to bed.
…
the next day.
Baixi Mechanical High School.
Sulu was wearing a black school uniform, and unsurprisingly, he felt some pointing eyes.
"If I were Rand and Ginny, I would find someone to intimidate the victim and make sure nothing would happen... It would be a tragedy to put myself in such a situation."
With a smile on the corner of Sulu's mouth, he walked straight into the classroom and came to the doll-like Ginny with a sweet smile: "We need to talk."
"Can."
Ginny promised reservedly, and followed Sulu to the rooftop outside.
"Tell me... what do you want? To appeal, to expose? Whatever you want..." The corners of Ginny's moist lips curled up with lipstick.
"No... I don't want this."
Sulu pretended to be in pain, and hugged his head: "I know my identity and status, and I still want to graduate safely and live a peaceful life..."
"Oh? You are very sensible, very good!"
Ginny was a little surprised: "Then what do you want to say when you ask me out?"
"Even if you have done so many things, there are some hidden dangers after all, isn't it?" Sulu looked up sadly: "I can sign a statement claiming to permanently waive accountability. In return, I need a sum of money to complete A new graduation project."
"Very...reasonable."
Ginny choked momentarily.
After all, she was just a young girl, she didn't think about the problem with a mature mind, and she didn't think that there was such a possibility of a 'deal'.
Perhaps at the beginning, she just regarded Murphy's design as a burst of inspiration, and didn't think that this poor man really had enough mechanical talent.
"Then... the transaction is successful, I need 500 reals, so I will take my leave first."
Sulu nodded and left the rooftop.
Ginny looked at his back, her eyes flickering.
Not long after, another mature youth came to the rooftop: "Ginny, what did that kid say? Hysterical anger or roaring?"
"No..." Ginny shook her head, "He just asked for a sum of money, 500 reals."
The young man's expression froze: "If I knew that a month's pocket money could solve the problem, I should have done it a long time ago..."
"Did we... did something wrong?" Ginny murmured.
"Perhaps... But that's good too. I'll clean up some messes. Even if the school sends investigators to investigate in the future, I won't be afraid."
Rand smiled.
As a person with vested interests in the rules, of course he will instinctively maintain that set of social rules, and will not take the initiative to break them unless it is absolutely necessary.
"It's just... We will offend a truly talented person because of this... Murphy said that he will continue to prepare a new graduation project, maybe he will be very successful in the future."
Ginny added.
"A gifted person? Hehe..." Rand shook his head: "A person who is considered a genius in this kind of mechanical high school is nothing in a university... He may be able to live a life of a little rich with this, but he wants to It will take two to three generations to completely get rid of the original class. If you are not careful, you will fall back, and the chance of growing up to retaliate against us is so small that it can be ignored. Okay... don't discuss these meaningless things, I am going to hold A dance to celebrate my graduation and college recommendation, you must come."
There was a hint of temptation in his voice.
"certainly… "
Ginny's eyes were full of smiles, but she felt uneasy for some reason.
…
A few days later, Sulu exchanged his disclaimer for 500 riels.
The 'riel' in this world is a unit of currency, and a pound of black bread is worth about five riels, which is enough for many civilians to live for several months.
But for young masters and young ladies from rich families, it's just pocket money.
Sulu picked up a banknote with a face value of 10 riel, no, it cannot be said to be a banknote, but should be made of a material similar to plastic.
The banknotes in this world are very small, reminding Sulu of the meal tickets he used to use, but the surface patterns are gears and wrenches, full of a mechanical style.
"Well, with it, not only can I improve my life, but I can also buy some metal parts to complete my design."
He looked at the draft paper on his desk.
On the top is a strange leg-covering skeleton, which is named "Bounce No. 1" very uncreatively. It does not have much high-tech content, but only a few brackets with springs and other structures, but it can automatically provide for the user. Provides strong bounce ability.
This is also part of Sulu's design of the 'warframe' for himself.
Because of the fear of leaks, there is no 'advanced' technical component, only enough novel 'thinking' and 'innovation'.
In fact, these are all the many roads abandoned by the starry sky family during the long research, and Sulu randomly selected some to make do with them.
"Hey Murphy, good to see you come out of the blow of loss."
George came over and blinked at Sulu: "Brother... I said... Shall we go to those hidden coffee shops to soothe our wounded hearts? I heard you got a lot of money, and the girls there are very Pretty, prettier than Ginny…”
"Ahem... I use that money. You know my family situation. If my sister knows..."
Sulu made an excuse at will.
At the same time, it is even more clear that this is the news that Ginny's group took the initiative to release. The purpose is to turn himself from a victim into a partner, which is also an added layer of insurance.
