Chapter 68: The Labyrinth of Blood (Part II)
Yamada Tao didn't understand the investigation, but he just watched everyone move equipment, survey the terrain, walk around to check, everyone was busy, but their group slowly sorted out their rooms and luggage, and after dinner, Mori Jingyu also ordered black tea and desserts, and there was no intention of moving at all.
"Jing Yu, should we go and help?" Yamada asked.
Sen Jingyu just smiled and put a plate of biscuits in front of her: "Don't worry, people may think we're in the way." "Looking at Nan Liming's appearance, I know that they are running for the bonus, and I can't wait for everyone else to take it for themselves. Others still can't see that after all, more is better than less.
"But don't you need to observe and learn?" Yamada Tao watched the people from the Shibuya office bring in all kinds of sophisticated instruments, and she couldn't name many things, let alone operate them.
"There's no hurry. The design of this mansion is strange, and it is best not to walk around alone, so as not to get lost in it. Later, Mr. Ohashi came over and asked him for a floor plan, at least he should recognize the road before considering other reads; "It's not uncommon for this kind of surrealist architecture to get lost every minute, and God knows if the so-called missing person is lost somewhere.
After hearing this, Yamada Momo remembered the structure he had seen after entering this mansion, and he had to agree with Mori Shizuha's statement with a dizzy eye, probably only a person with an extraordinary memory like Mr. Ohashi can remember every intersection.
However, Mr. Ohashi regretted that there was no floor plan for the mansion, and that he had really relied on his memory to find the way after entering.
"Originally, this building was owned by the mother's family of the husband's wife, not only the lady herself did not live here, but even the lady's father...... That is, the previous generation, and in the end did not live here. In addition, the house was built by Madame's grandfather around the tenth year of the Meiji era, 110 years ago, and after that, he frequently added and remodeled the house, and in the previous generation, it was renovated almost every year. ”
In short, the original graphic design drawings are useless even if they exist.
Anyway, this family is really weird, let's rebuild it, I have to keep part of the original structure, I really don't know what kind of mentality they have when they open the windows to the ceiling.
Seeing that Mori had no other problems, Mr. Ohashi went to pay attention to the situation of the other groups.
Yamada Momo suddenly felt deflated, they only had two girls, and they couldn't measure each room in groups like those people in the Shibuya office. The house was so big that even if every room was visited, it would take a long time for the two of them to finish it.
Sen Jingyu didn't have any pressure, she had already released Guan Hu to investigate, just sit back and wait for the news.
Seeing that Yamada Momo looked listless, she put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Are you tired all the way from Tokyo?" Let's go back to our room and take a rest, anyway, we're just here to study, and since they're busy, let's not bother people to do things. ”
Yamada Tao thought about it and sighed helplessly: "Hmm." It seems that the matter will not be solved for a while, so let's take care of our spirits first. "I was a little tired from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture and I was a little tired, and my sleepiness came up all of a sudden.
The moment she walked into the bedroom, the tip of Sen Jingyu's nose suddenly smelled blood, and her eyes stopped with a sharp look.
"Jing Yu, what's wrong?"
"Don't you smell it?"
"Smell something?" Yamada inhaled in confusion and shook her head. The room was cleaned very clean, and there was no musty smell left in the old house.
"Probably...... The fishy smell left behind by the fish that slipped through the net. "There are indeed dirty things in the mansion, and they are not small in courage and fierce. Luckily, she was used to smelling blood in hell, otherwise she would have vomited. "It's nothing, you go take a shower first, I need to prepare something."
"Do you want my help?"
"No, I'll do it myself." Sen Jingyu took out a spirit rune from her bag and slapped it on the wall, and suddenly the gloomy feeling in the room seemed to dissipate a lot.
"You're ......"
"It's a haunted house, whether it's useful or not, at least it's a little more reassuring to do so. Those of us who do this are 'rather believe in what they have than what they don't'. ”
"Ah, that's right." After seeing the talisman pasted, I was indeed in a much lighter mood.
"Just put this talisman there and stick it away, and if it moves, it won't work. I still have a peace charm here for you to keep, remember to wear it on your body after taking a shower. Once the sun goes down, you should never walk out of the room alone...... Anyway, there are quite a lot of men in the house, so be careful with your reads. ”
"Oh, oh. Thanks, I'll take note. "Whether you believe in ghosts or gods, young girls who spend the night in a haunted house will inevitably feel panicked, and they are especially concerned about this kind of spiritual comfort.
"Alright, let's go take a shower."
Pushing Yamada Tao into the bathroom and closing the door, Mori Jingyu lowered his face coldly, counted the Guan Hu who came back to report, and found that there was indeed one missing.
She didn't mean to let Guan Hu target other psionic people, and ordinary psionic people would not attack Guan Hu for no reason, but if someone deliberately caught Guan Hu to make trouble for her, it would be a different matter. The worst-case scenario is that Guan Hu is captured by the evil spirits hiding in the mansion, and it has only one fate - to be killed and devoured and become the nourishment of the evil spirits.
Since Guan Hu is already missing, sending Guan Hu out again will only be consumed in vain. Sen Jingyu received the information brought back by Guan Hu with a calm face, and asked them to return to their respective bamboo tubes.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next day Sen Jingyu carefully observed, and all the spirit removal teams were still busy investigating.
In her opinion, most of the people here don't have the ability to catch Guan Hu, after all, many of them can't see the spirit at all, especially the group of people from the Chengming Association, after Sen Jingyu saw their so-called spirit medium performance, he decisively classified them as liars.
It's the group of people who are the director of Shibuya, the equipment they brought is not cheap, and regardless of their ability, it can be seen that they are really spending money on research. Although paranormal events cannot be explained scientifically, changes in air temperature and air pressure caused by supernatural phenomena can still be measured with sophisticated instruments.
Dr. Kaos, for example, is a stupid old fool who has achieved a lot of things in science and magic, and has proven that the two can be combined, and Maria is the most outstanding of them. Unfortunately, with his senile amnesia, those have become historical mysteries.
"Jing Yu, where are we going?" Momo Yamada follows Shizuha Mori around the house, and she feels that she may have lost her way.
"Since we don't have a floor plan, we have to find our way. Take a walk and see what you might find. "She wants to go through the scope of the investigation of the pipe fox that didn't come back yesterday to see if she can find some clues." You can follow me in peace, you won't get lost. ”
"But this house is really complicated." The corridor was wide and narrow, the stairs were long and short, meaningless twists and turns, rooms within rooms, hidden routes or something, making people dizzy, and she couldn't remember the route when she came.
Open a door, inside is a room that extends in all directions, the director of the Shibuya Psychic Research Institute and several of his assistants, as well as the abbot of Hosanji Temple, Mr. Imura, are there, and then the director of Shibuya says something strange, and Mr. Imura returns to the corridor in a rage.
"Good, good!" Hearing Director Shibuya babble about his "past" to Mr. Imura, Yamada Momo was dumbfounded, and then asked Mori Shizuha in a daze, "Could he really be over 300 years old?" ”
"Poof!" Sen Jingyu couldn't help laughing: "How is it possible, at most he is good at history and has good language skills, he was deliberately repaying Mr. Imura's old man just now." "Dr. Kaos, that's Renrui.
"Huh? Is that so? ”
"That's right, that's right, I made a joke with the elders and made you laugh." Director Shibuya scratched his head and looked honest: "Are the two young ladies also here to investigate?" ”
"It's not." Yamada Momo waved his hand, looked at Mori Jingyu, and said, "Actually, Jingyu is here to learn. ”
"Studying?"
Yamada Momo took out the rhetoric that Mori Jingyu dealt with her and Mori's mother, the vast majority of people in modern society no longer believe in ghosts and gods, and it is obvious that Mori Jingyu's lies are more convincing than removing spirits or something.
After looking at the structure of the house, Yamada Momo did think that the missing person was likely lost or killed inside, and it was only because the mansion became more and more desolate and gloomy after it was abandoned that rumors of haunting spread.
Director Shibuya has reservations about Momo Yamada's statement, and yesterday Masako Hara had already told them that Shizuha Mori was a well-known person in the circle. Just like Mr. Sheng's verbal shouting, but people know that he is a liar at a glance, Sen Jingyu admits that he is acting, but it is not true.
"So, you're just trying to find your way?"
"Yes."
"In that case, would you like to help us?"
"This ......," Yamada asked Mori Shizuha with her eyes.
Sen Jingyu shrugged his shoulders absently and said, "It's not easy to measure all of such a big house, Peach, you go and help them, I can take care of the road by myself." ”
A few people at the Shibuya Research Institute seemed to be able to believe that without Yamada Momo by her side, it would be more convenient for her to use abnormal means to investigate.
After leaving everyone's line of sight, Sen Jingyu walked a few rooms and smelled the smell of blood, she pinched a few pieces of rune paper in her hand and walked in the direction where the smell came from.
After a while, a solemn yin qi circled around her and tried to bind her, while two small footsteps approached her in the darkness deep inside the house.
Sen Jingyu pretended to stop his movements and waited for them to approach, only to see two men in big white coats.
No, they are not people, to be precise, revenants bound by intense obsessions, without even a will of their own.
When they walked towards Sen Jingyu and tried to reach out to grab her, Sen Jingyu suddenly threw out the spirit rune: "Suck the seal!" ”
While it is true that following them may meet the final boss directly, it is not absolute, and it doesn't seem cost-effective to risk yourself without knowing what they want to do. It's better to catch these two souls first, as long as they are freed from the shackles of obsession, you can ask for information from their mouths.
It's just that it is possible to startle the snake.
After the two male undead were inhaled into the spirit rune, the yin qi and the smell of blood that surrounded this place disappeared. Mori Jingyu put away the rune paper and glanced into the depths of darkness, then turned around and turned back the way it came.
Except for the spirits or something, wait a few days to find a time to interrogate the two undead.
Originally, it was very unpleasant to be forced to stuff an unlucky task, but the task only said that there was a generous bonus but did not clearly mark the price, and the ghost knows if the amount is enough to compensate for the loss! And only the group that succeeds in removing the spirit can get a bonus, which is really bad compared to Peter's 2 billion per person!
Solving things in just one day will inevitably make the employer feel that the task is too simple, and the bonus will be less, so it will have to be delayed at this time, which proves that the difficulty of the task is there, and I haven't seen that the employer has invited so many people and has no clue? So the bonus has to be commensurate with the difficulty of the task.
As for the employer's mood, Sen Jingyu just wanted to give him three words - heh, heh, da!
If you don't give the horses grazing, you still expect the horses to run fast and dream! I don't want to think about when the iron rooster in the association who has cultivated to perfection will be willing to do a loss-making business!!
