Chapter Fifty-Eight: Vampire
Sizzle!!
When the thick black hair that spread all over the ruins of the Asagami Mansion was being destroyed by Fang Ye at a speed visible to the naked eye, a terrifying roar suddenly sounded in his ears!
Then, most of the black hair, which had been missing, quickly receded like a tide receding, and under Fang Ye's gaze, they disappeared under a huge slab far away from him.
"Oh, it looks like the rat's nest is there. ”
Seeing the unknown ghost fleeing in front of him in the posture of a little mouse running back to the cave, Fang Ye's clenched fists loosened slightly, he was not interested in pursuing it further at this time, because what was more important to him at the moment was to find the original manuscript of "One Punch Man" that was missing.
"You can't escape anyway. ”
Fang Ye, who vaguely guessed what kind of existence it was, naturally did not think that the original manuscript he drew was taken by him, and his eyes turned to the ruins.
"The only suspects who had the opportunity to steal my drawings were the six people who were in this mansion at the time......"
Orihime Asakami, Naohiko Inoue, Matsumoto, Masako, and the two waiters Yuya and Yuta.
The names of the six people flashed through his mind in an instant.
"I'm afraid one of them took advantage of my stay in the studio on the first floor to unlock my room and take the stack of manuscripts I put on the table......"
As he pondered, he jumped hard, and the whole person suddenly flew into the air, crossed the broken wall by the ruins, and easily landed in the open space outside the mansion.
"Unfortunately, I was so focused on the tests that I was trying to test my conjectures, and my 'miracle' enhanced hearing heard the sound of several people walking upstairs, but I didn't pay attention to it. ”
He thought so, and as soon as he landed, his eyes swept his surroundings and took in the situation outside.
"Such a thick black fog, could it be that this is also caused by the 'miracle' in this mansion getting out of control?"
Except for the people who fell to the ground, Fang Ye's attention was naturally attracted by the heavy black fog around him for the first time.
"It's like locking us inside......"
He narrowed his eyes, already suspecting that the strange changes in the mansion tonight were not simple, but for now, it was important to find the original manuscripts that he had disappeared first.
As for when to leave this place, it was only a matter of a few breaths for him, who had become bald and stronger.
"Search for these guys first, if the person who stole the manuscript doesn't have it with them, then you'll have to go back to the ruins and rummage through them. ”
Finding that there were four people lying on the ground outside the house who seemed to be unconscious, in addition to the middle-aged man Matsumoto and another waiter, Yuta, even Asakami Orihime, who had fled before, was also there, and Fang Ye planned to find them first.
After all, it's not out of the question that the stealer hid the stack of manuscripts on his own at the time.
"He's dead?!"
Walking towards the person closest to him, when he got closer, Fang Ye found that the waiter Yuya, who was thrown out of the house by him in front, had died with his eyes open face up.
Of course, the other party's death could not have been caused by his previous lack of strength, looking at the dense pinholes on the waiter's face, Fang Ye remembered the scene when he fought with the demon demon hair, those disgusting long hair instantly turned into sharp steel drills, I was afraid that this waiter was killed by the ghost hair......
"Alas......"
Sighing, he crouched down and closed his eyes as the dead waiter, Yuya, put his hands together and confessed, and quickly searched the other party's body, except for a few personal belongings, he did not find his lost manuscript.
"Next ......"
He stood up, jumped lightly towards the place where Inoue Naohiko and Masako were lying down, and quickly moved to the two of them, this time fortunately both of them were still breathing, not a cold corpse like the waiter Yuya.
"It seems that the waiter Yuya was too close to the battlefield between me and it at that time, and he was caught up in the aftermath of the battle without noticing, and lost his life in vain. ”
When Fang Ye searched Inoue Naohiko and Masako, he looked at the direction where the waiter Yuya was, and it was obvious that the waiter Yuya was shot by the runaway 'miracle' because he was too close to the battlefield in the mansion.
"There is no ...... either"
Fang Ye, who searched Inoue Naohiko and Masako to no avail, could only move his gaze again and put it on Orihime Asakami, who was still protected by the fire ring released by the 'Red Lotus'.
"Could it be her?"
Fang Ye frowned, although he had complained and been angry with Asakami Orihime in his heart, would the daughter of the other party, who was the Toei manga master Asakami Akiko, be interested in stealing his original manuscript?
Although he felt that this possibility was very slim, Fang Ye still came to the unconscious Asagami Orihime, ignored the blazing but increasingly faint 'Red Lotus' fire, and directly reached through the flames, searching for whether the other party had a painting hidden on his body.
"No ......"
Soon, there were results from his search of Orihime Asakami.
"Except for the two people who are missing, is my sketch still in the ruins of the mansion?"
Fang Ye was about to leap back into the collapsed mansion when a buzzing sound appeared near him.
"This is?!mosquito girl?!"
He turned his head in surprise when he heard the sound, and sure enough, he saw a familiar little guy flying to his right, and after the other party flew around him, he chose a direction in the black fog outside and took the lead in flying over.
"Are you here to show me the way?"
Fang Ye felt that the appearance of the mosquito girl this time seemed to be related to the stolen original manuscript, thinking of her previous sudden disappearance in the studio, he couldn't help but follow the mosquito girl into the heavy black fog.
Even if there are ghosts in this fog, he is not afraid.
Only half a minute later, the mosquito girl took him to a place in the mist, where Fang Ye saw a person lying on the ground.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, the man was wearing a waiter's suit, and if he guessed correctly, it was Yuta, a waiter who was ordered by Orihime Asagami to go out to check the power distribution room after the power went off in the mansion.
"How could he be here, if he really went to check the power distribution room, he wouldn't have been so far away from the mansion. ”
Fang Ye, who felt abnormal, walked over quickly, squatted down beside Yuta, who fell to the ground, and turned the other party over, sure enough...... This man is also dead.
But with his pale face and blue lips, it was obvious that the cause of his death was different from that of the first deceased, Yuya.
"Is this excessive blood loss?"
Fang Ye carefully examined Yuta's corpse, and it didn't take long to find out the cause of the other party's death.
"You did it?"
He turned his head to the mosquito woman who had landed on his left shoulder.
But he didn't get a response from the mosquito girl, and the little guy didn't even move his body, as if he had eaten and drunk enough.
"Hoo ......"
Couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, Fang Ye then put his hand into the other party's clothes and searched the deceased without hope.
"!! this is ......!!!"
Touching the pieces of drawing paper with his fingertips, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and carefully pulled out a stack of manuscript papers hidden in Yuta's chest, and sure enough, it was the stack of manuscripts he had stolen!
And there was also a thin notebook, full of words, which he looked at cursoly, like a script for a work.
The signature on the first page is none other than Takeshi Matsumoto.
"Was it a house thief?"
Fang Ye lowered his head and said to Yuta, who had long been out of breath.
