Chapter 20: Something Terrible
"My opinion is that the apartment made all the people in the shrine disappear, and it was not a simple torture."
"Senpai, what do you mean...... Because they know the clues related to the way of life, is that right? ”
In fact, before Yinye proposed it, Dong Xie also had a similar inference.
Kitayama Shinshin's words yesterday clearly prove that this family knows what happened in the past. However, now the shrine has become like a place of dead silence. If all of this group were to die, the consequences would be dire.
"According to the information you have, the people of the Beishan family know what is in the Gu Bird Pavilion, and after that, they have obtained the ability to 'remove spirits'. You're here for that reason too. ”
As they spoke, the two of them had come to the Luo Bride Pavilion in front of them.
Like Gu Woo Bird, Luo Bride is the same name as an ancient Japanese yokai. To put it simply, it's a spider spirit.
"It's going to be dangerous. But it should also be the best place to find clues. ”
At this time, the door of the bride's house was wide open, and the wind blew in. Walking to the door, under the illumination of their mobile phones, Dong Xie and Yinye could clearly see a large number of muddy footprints on the floor inside the entrance.
The Japanese have an almost obsessive-compulsive habit of taking off their shoes and entering the house, but they can't care about it at this time, which shows how chaotic the situation happened in the shrine while Dong Xie was asleep.
"Senior, you are in charge of guarding the door, I'll go in and have a look alone."
When Dong Xie said this, Yin Ye couldn't help but admire him a little.
"Aren't you afraid? Going in alone? ”
"Get used to it." Dong Xie smiled bitterly: "And there is nothing that can be defeated by fear alone. ”
"It's still too dangerous for you to go in alone."
"But if no one is outside to guard the door......
"Nowhere is safe in this place. Trapped inside, or outside. In that case, let's go in together. The most important thing is that the goalkeeping method doesn't really make sense. If you really want to lock the door, is it useful for you to have someone guarding outside? ”
"Goalkeeping...... Doesn't make sense? ”
"I used a similar approach on my first Blood Letter mission that year. But when the door was finally forced shut, I luckily avoided it, otherwise I would have broken at least one hand. Of course, such details are not recorded in the blood letters. ”
Since Ke Yinye said so, Dong Xie had nothing to say.
"That'...... Let's go in and have a look. ”
Walking into the entrance, Dong Xie cautiously looked around, and looked at Yinye's calm face, but he was slightly relieved.
Looking at the messy footprints on the ground, as I went deeper, I saw that there were many chairs lying in front of the restaurant, as if they had been forcibly smashed out.
Dong Xie felt more and more fear, when such a terrible thing happened at this shrine, he was actually sleeping. But at that time, he had no other choice, and the blood letter would continue until tonight, in which case he couldn't sustain it without supplementing sleep.
"Former ...... Senior ......"
"There's no need not to talk to me." Silver Night lowered her voice and said, "Also, I can't protect you. ”
Silvernight now focused her eyes on her surroundings, searching for anything that might be a clue.
Messy footprints on the ground, overturned chairs everywhere. However, no blood or corpses were left.
Truth be told, Silver Night would like to see blood here. If there is blood, it means that the evil spirit will leave blood while killing, so if there is no blood left in the room where Silver Feather disappeared, it can prove that her hope of survival has increased. And this situation of no corpse and no blood made him feel strongly uneasy. This is the common way in which evil spirits used to kill people without seeing blood.
Then, the two of them moved towards the restaurant.
Dong Xie came to the door and took a look inside. The restaurant, which was lively yesterday, is now overturned to the ground by the long table inside. All sorts of messy chairs fell to the ground, and the footprints inside were even more messy.
"There are footprints in all directions...... I can't tell if those people were killed inside......" Yin Ye said in a voice that only Dong Xie beside him could hear, "There are at least five or six people. ”
Dong Xie couldn't help but admire Silver Night more and more, although he also observed those footprints, he didn't think so carefully. Now it seems that he still has to learn more in the Scarlet Word mission.
The two then walked into the restaurant.
The windows of the dining room, one or two were open at this time. Torrential rain pours in from time to time.
"Are they going to escape through the window?" Dong Xie looked at this scene: "That's why I ......"
"However, no one escaped."
As Silver Night approached the windowsill, it was not difficult to notice that there were no footprints on it.
However, many footprints had already reached the bottom of the windowsill, but not a single one escaped. This is certainly not accidental.
It's just like they're playing with them, killing them on the eve of their escape.
"It seems...... At least not an evil spirit that kills someone in an instant without saying a word. ”
Seeing this scene, Silver Night was a little relieved: "If this is the case, it shouldn't be so easy to kill your sister and my wife." ”
"But...... What the hell are they ...... now?"
"Don't think with common sense about the Scarlet Quest, they can be anywhere."
Although Silver Night is still quite sane now, his heart is still trembling, in fact, the existing clues are still seriously insufficient to deduce that Silver Feather is not dead. But at the end of the day, it is impossible for people to remain rational forever, especially in this situation. This point also caused a certain amount of interference to his judgment.
"Let's go to another room."
"Hmm."
Dong Xie looked back at the door of the restaurant from time to time, afraid that the door and window would close at the same time, it would be terrifying. In contrast, Silver Night didn't seem to be too worried about it.
And just as he was approaching the overturned tabletop, Dong Xie suddenly remembered the meat he had eaten last night.
This important clue, he also told Silver Night before. Hearing this, Silver Night was also thoughtful at that time.
Hanabi used her mobile phone to tell them not to eat any meat dishes other than fish. Well, it won't be ordinary meat. Dong Xie also has a lot of thoughts about this. Originally, he thought that when evil spirits began to appear at the shrine and began to kill on a large scale, those people would probably tell the truth. But now he realized that he had thought too simply, and now that most of those people had been killed, he had no way of knowing the truth.
"Senior, why don't we go to the kitchen and have a look?" Dong Xie made this suggestion.
"Meat" is the place that Dong Xie cares about the most.
So what exactly is it if it's not beef? So, why don't you go to the kitchen and have a look? Maybe a little clue remains?
"You're thinking about that meat?"
"yes, what the hell is that, I really care. I even wonder if that could be...... The ...... of people"
Silver Night had similar thoughts when she first heard Dong heresy.
"Tell me what you think." Silver Night wants to hear Dong Xie's opinion, in his opinion, Dong Xie can live three times, and he is not a simple character.
After thinking for a while, Dong Xie said, "Although it sounds crazy, maybe they use living people as sacrifices to perform some kind of evil ritual to obtain the ability to remove spirits. I can be sure that the current temporary shrine maiden does not have the bloodline of this family, so this can be obtained through external forces......"
"How do you know that the current temporary witch doesn't have the blood of the Kitayama family?"
"The current witch of the Beishan family is surnamed Scarlet Village, and she used to be the steward of this family in the past, and she and her husband are both descendants of this family......"
"That's just the way it looks. It is also normal for rich people to have illegitimate children. However, your point of view also has analytical value. ”
Dong Xie keenly captured important information from this sentence.
"My point of view"?
The meaning of this sentence is that Silver Night also has his opinion?
"Senior, what do you think?"
"I'm just speculating." Silver Night looked at this scene and said, "Maybe that meat is something even more terrifying." And, judging from the amount of meat you described, it wouldn't be simply made for Deep Rain. ”
"That?"
"People in this family have been eating that kind of meat for a long time. They may even be farming by some means......"
