Chapter 14: Look, you're all right

Lucia has been busy lately, and although she has been informed that her old friend Roy will be coming over today, she has no place to receive him except for the police office.

Theft, conflict, fraud, it seems that after that incident began, the unease began to fuel the crime rate of the townspeople.

She's really—so tired, especially in her neck, she always feels like her cervical spine is numb.

"Knock knock."

There were two knocks on the unclosed door of her office, and Lucia lifted her face from the thick papers, finally seeing the face she hadn't seen in years.

"Hi Roy!" She stood up in surprise, walked around her desk, and hugged Roy with open arms.

"Well, long time no see." Yu Xing felt Lucia's strength, which was different from the hot-tempered policewoman he imagined, soft.

He let go of Lucia and took out the beautifully wrapped box of chocolates from his handbag: "It's a gift. ”

Lucia showed a happy expression and reached out to take the box: "Thank you, I like it very much." Alas, it's a pity that I've been upset lately and have a bad appetite, I used to be able to eat ten of these chocolates in one sitting! ”

Yu Xing took the opportunity to take a closer look at her, the close-fitting uniform outlined Lucia's convex and backward figure perfectly, black trousers wrapped her long legs, blonde hair, common makeup painted on her face, and her exposed neck and wrists were a little tanned.

Martha and York followed Yu Xing, and remained silent and low-key all the way from the moment they entered the police station.

The police station was very loose, except for Lucia, who occupied a separate office, they only saw five policemen, and I don't know if there were other policemen out on the field.

The windows of the office were covered by curtains, which made the room not very well lit, and Martha looked around suspiciously, and before she could say anything, Lucia noticed her and looked surprised.

"Oh, what a child!"

“…… I'm not a kid, I just look small. Martha's face was expressionless, rejecting the hand that Lucia had reached out to her to rub her head.

Lucia laughed twice: "The little girl really has a personality, Roy, this is your sister?" ”

Yu Xing reached out and took off his hat as a sign of politeness: "No, actually...... Her name is Martha, and this is York, and they are both the ones you have specifically asked me to bring in your letter...... Exorcist. ”

The word exorcism touched Lucia's nerves, and Yu Xing could clearly see that the corners of Lucia's eyes twitched, and her mood was obviously low.

"Yes, it's time to get down to business." Lucia sat down in the office chair again, and by the way, the three guests moved a few chairs as well, "I'm a small place, so I'm slacking." Well...... Is the little girl really an exorcist, eh, don't stare at me. ”

Under the gaze of Martha's wide eyes, Lucia did not have the heart to continue to doubt the professionalism of the exorcist, sighed angrily, and began to complain.

It turned out that the accident happened to a family living in the northernmost part of the town of Aurelong.

The family, whose surname is Brown, have been in O'Relong for just a year and live in the town's largest and oldest single-family house.

The villa originally belonged to another family, but the family seemed to have moved out in a hurry, so they sold the house cheaply to the current Brown family.

A year passed, and most of the time was uneventful, until a month and a half ago, when the legends about the Brown family suddenly increased.

Some say that the Browns never leave the house, never appear at the fair, and even the neighbors rarely see them.

Others said that every night, they could hear the singing from the old villa, often stopping in the middle of the song, followed by a terrible scream, which was terrifying.

But the next day when she knocked on the door, Mrs. Brown would ask what was going on with a smile on her face, and even invite the knocker to be a guest at the house.

Some people felt scared to refuse, and some went in and came out intact without noticing anything wrong.

But the sound of the night did not stop, but became louder and louder, and seemed to intensify, from the humming of one person at the beginning, to the chorus of a group of people.

Lucia had also been to Brown's house, stayed there for the night, and found nothing wrong, she couldn't arrest anyone in the Brown family, and since the rumors spread, there were residents in the town who were worried and the crime rate had increased, there was no way, Lucia remembered Roy, and some of Roy's friends who could exorcise demons.

"I'd like you and your two exorcist friends to investigate as travelers to see if someone is causing trouble, or if it's ......" Lucia rubbed her stiff neck, "or if there's a devil at work." ”

【Main quest triggered】

[Mission: Find the truth about the strange events in the villa and hand over the investigation results to Lucia]

【Side quest triggered】

[Mission: Complete three kinds of ghost information]

A long list of never-before-seen prompts appeared in front of Yu Xing's eyes.

[Goblin 1: Unknown]

[Type: Unknown]

[Solution: Unknown]

[Goblin 2: Unknown]

[Type: Unknown]

……

This tip was received by all three people.

York looked at Lucia and suddenly let out a low chuckle that only Martha could hear: "Hehe." ”

"What is Brother York laughing at?" Martha leaned over, one of the ponytails sweeping over York's fingers on the side of the chair.

York thought for a moment and moved his lips: "Something is wrong with this woman. ”

Yu Xing didn't know about his teammate's conversation, he only nodded to Lucia: "Okay, we'll visit later, before that, I hope you can give me all the information you can provide." ”

"This ...... Not long after the Brown family moved here, I was in office for a shorter period of time, and I didn't have much information, so I was here. Eh, don't spread the word, don't say I gave it. Lucia handed Yu Xing a thin document bag and rubbed her neck again, Yu Xing lowered her eyes and swept over her neckline.

"Are you uncomfortable?" He asked.

"A little, maybe it's too tired." Lucia was also a little helpless when she mentioned this, she has been weak in her hands and feet lately, her neck is sore, and she doesn't like to see the sun very much.

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she jokingly said to York and Martha, "Maybe I'm cursed, two exorcists happen to be here, why don't you take a look at me first?" Does this big handsome guy agree? ”

The sunny smile on York's face was kind, so Lucia looked at him silently relaxed.

As for Martha's little Lori, she has been ignored.

York remembered that he had come with him as a friend of Detective Roy, and looked at Roy first when he heard the offer.

Yu Xing bowed his head at him.

He felt that his teammate named York was very comfortable in every move, and although he had his own personality, he was very concerned about the overall situation.

"Okay, Miss Lucia, I can take a look at it for you." After York got Yu Xing's approval, he patted Martha, "Bag." ”

Martha obediently turned her back towards York.

Seeing him pull out a pure black cross from Martha's large backpack and a glass bottle of water, Yu Xing's gaze wandered between little Lori and the tall young man.

Good guy, no wonder I didn't bring a package, and all the things that dared to exorcise demons were carried by little Lori!

Is this the setting of some kind of strange force Lori?

He can't bring in his own normal sacrifices, and the character is a detective, so there is no direct means of "exorcism" at present, but both teammates are exorcists, and they should have some power to attack ghosts.

Yu Xing: Tsk, I'm not happy.

York first uncorked the water, left Lucia standing in the clearing, and sprinkled a little water in front of Lucia's feet.

Then he lifted up the cross—

At that moment, the cold aura in Yu Xing's body moved restlessly.

This made him instantly recognize that this cross was a sacrifice!

Yu Xing: Why, tsk, even more unhappy.

Little Lori pursed her lips, ran to Yu Xing's side, and tugged at Yu Xing's suit sleeve.

Yu Xing bent down intimately and put her ear in front of little Lori.

"Brother York said Lucia wasn't right." Martha's voice was sweet, like honey, and the breath swept over Yu Xing's earlobe, but Yu Xing was unmoved.

"I know." Yu Xing replied, remembering the requirements and character design of the deduction prompt, and asked from a non-violating angle, "Have your exorcism techniques improved?" Does that cross work for the devil? ”

Little Lori thought for a while: "Well......"

"The cross belongs to Brother York, I haven't used it, it should be useful."

The implication was that it was York's sacrifice, and she didn't understand it.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lucia let out a scream.

Yu Xing turned his head to look and saw that York's cross did not touch Lucia at all, only wisps of black mist spread out from the center of the cross and wrapped around Lucia.

Lucia, who just had an indifferent expression of "I'm just talking casually, what if the exorcism can still exorcise me", Lucia's face instantly showed pain, she looked at herself in horror, and muttered: "What's the matter with me, I'm in so much pain, what's going on?" I'm not really cursed! ”

York, still smiling, lowered the cross and walked over to the stiff Lucia.

With his back to Yu Xing and Martha, his smile suddenly became more vicious, and in Lucia's confused gaze, he stretched out his bony right index finger and poked it at Lucia's face.

"Let's go."

Lucia's head fell to the ground, and the broken surface of her neck was so neat that she didn't have time to bleed.

After a second, the red liquid "poofed" out, and York's hand quickly covered it with the black robe that he had placed aside, and not a drop was splashed.

"What's wrong with me? It hurts......" Lucia's head rolled twice on the ground, and she rolled to Yu Xing's feet, her amber eyes widened, and her mouth was still asking, "It hurts, am I cursed?" ”

The temperature in the office dropped a lot unconsciously, the curtains covered the outside world tightly, and behind the three of them, the door automatically closed without wind and quietly.

"Mom~" Little Lori glared at Yu Xing's clothes, "She-"

It doesn't look like Lori is very bold.

"Don't be afraid." Yu Xing touched Martha's head and looked at York, "What's wrong with Lucia?" ”

York turned his face, and the malicious smile at that moment was as if it had never appeared, and he was still smiling brightly: "What else can I do, I'm already dead." ”

Yu Xing glanced around when he heard this.

The police office was in shambles, the body that had lost its head stood upright, the ground was covered with splashed blood, and the head stopped at Yu Xing's feet and chanted words.

The door was closed, the temperature dropped, and it was clear that something was going to happen.

Between breaths, Lucia stopped repeating her chatter.

Her head was facing Yu Xing, she blinked, and two lines of bloody tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes, and asked, "Roy, what's wrong with me?" ”

Yu Xing found that the ghosts in the deduction liked to target him, obviously he didn't do it, is there a hatred attraction mechanism on him or what?

Little Lori was keenly aware of MT One, let go of Yu Xing's clothes, and ran to York's side, and York looked at Yu Xing with a smile, as if she wanted to see how Yu Xing answered Lucia's question.

Under normal circumstances, his temperament is as gentle as the brother next door, but when he is still laughing in this situation, there is a faint sense of disobedience.

Well...... The kind that is mentally abnormal.

"Roy, am I the devil?" Lucia's entire face twitched, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling.

Lucia smiled and said, "Roy, I'm in so much pain." What the hell is wrong with me? ”

Yu Xingxin said that your eyes are so big, can't you see where you fell from? A headless corpse with such a good figure is standing two meters away from you, you can take a quick look, you can see your own corpse, what a novel experience.

He didn't say it in the end, the main part of the show should be the Brown family, he didn't need to make it more difficult for himself, and the main quest also required them to bring the results back to Lucia.

Yu Xing's eyes relaxed, as if he didn't perceive any danger, and bent down to pick up Lucia's head.

A hint of interest rose in York's eyes, and Martha shuddered.

"It's okay Lucia, you're just too tired." Yu Xing's tone was like a kindergarten teacher coaxing a child, and he avoided the blood on the ground and walked to the corpse standing upright.

He adjusted the head to a suitable angle, carefully pressed the splicing on the fractured surface, looked at it after splicing, and stretched out his hand to correct it twice.

Suddenly, a "whole" Lucia stood here.

Lucia looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Yu Xing: "Look, Lucia, you're fine. It's just that you're too tired and mentally unfit and you need to rest, my friend. I'm going to be very sad to see you're tired. ”

Lucia:......

Martha Lori: What is this operation!? If you say it so sincerely, I'll believe it, okay!

York: Funny, Roy is like a psychopath.

Lucia, who had reconnected her head and body, slowed down and turned her head.

It's really connected.

Lucia's face gradually calmed down, the temperature in the room warmed up, and the door quietly opened.

"Oh, it's like a dream, it looks like I really need to rest." She scratched her hair, as if she had forgotten about York's exorcism, and as if she couldn't see the blood on the ground or feel the blood and tears on her face, she returned to the way she was when they first met, and sat down in the office chair with a big grin.

"Go find the Browns, they're the northernmost part of town."
