Chapter 285: The Red Umbrella

"What's going on? Rain leaks? The quality of this common umbrella is really poor...... However, as long as the file does not get wet.

There must be no mistakes in today's meeting, and I must be there on time. ”

The office worker often felt rain drops on his cheeks as he walked briskly to his office a block away.

Unusually cold.

"Shhh...... It's cold! ”

Again, an icy liquid touch came from the side cheek.

When the man habitually touched his right cheek, he noticed that the 'rain' was actually a little sticky...... Moreover, there are two hairs glued to his fingers.

Meantime.

There was an inexplicable sense of close-up peeping, which gave the person goosebumps all over his body.

But in order not to get the documents in his hand wet, this person still held an umbrella and went to the company by running instead......

At the same time, cold, viscous liquids appear on the side of the face more frequently.

Even when he glanced to the side of his face, he seemed to feel a human head resting on his shoulder.

"Do you mean...... Urban legends are true......"

The company is just across the street.

The man, who was completely flustered in his heart, did not notice the problem of the traffic light at all.

Rumble!

A small car speeding in a rainstorm slammed head-on into the man's body.

The handwritten papers in the briefcase were scattered in all directions.

The umbrella that was caught in the man's hand was also thrown out......

There was a serious car accident at the intersection, and the deceased 'Ikegami Miya' was an ordinary employee of Hailida, and witnesses mentioned that before the incident, the deceased tried to force his way through the red light in a panic.

Due to the low visibility of the rainstorm weather, it collided head-on with a high-speed drag racing party.

One more point was mentioned.

The deceased was holding a red umbrella in his hand.

However, the red umbrella was not found at the scene of the incident, perhaps it was thrown too far due to a high-speed impact......

…………

In the alley 100 meters away from the place of the incident, a young man with a hat walked in.

In his hand, he is holding a red umbrella that was lost at the scene of the crime.

At the time of the car accident, Han Dong, who was closely following this person, was naturally also at the scene.

Catch the red umbrella that flew out steadily, avoid the line of sight and quietly walk away from the scene.

Just as Han Dong stepped into the alleyway, the familiar fate space system prompt came:

However, this time, the prompt is completely different from the past, both in terms of sound and method...... Maybe it has something to do with the [Five-Star] difficulty.

The voice of an eerie old woman sounded in Han Dong's mind, as if telling a bedtime horror story.

"Strange Tales - Red Umbrella"

[Strange Stories]:

It is rumored that there has been a series of vicious serial murders in the area of Hashima City, Gifu Prefecture.

The killer is accustomed to acting on rainy days, and singles out young women with red umbrellas.

Due to the heinous nature and the large number of crimes, which had a serious impact on local law and order, a senior detective from Nagoya took over when the local police were unable to solve the case.

Finally, through some high-tech image processing technology and investigation methods, the identity and location of the suspect were determined.

When the police were all out and broke down the door.

The room was filled with the stench of corpses.

The suspect - Toshio Majima has been dead for more than ten days.

The small room is covered with all kinds of candid photos and the red umbrella that the victim held before his death.

The suspect seems to have a soft spot for the color red.

At the same time, the heads of his former victims were stored in a large freezer in the basement.

A forensic examination of the suspect's body revealed that he had been subjected to excessive shock before his death, using the lines connecting the photographs to strangle himself to death...... This is the leading cause of death.

Strangely, however, its body cavity was overflowing with rain and hair.

At the same time, the results report of the Evidence Section was also released.

Because the victim's head was refrigerated as soon as possible, it was kept intact, and it was quickly paired with the former victim one by one.

But it's missing a head.

And.

The missing head happens to be the victim of the last homicide.

After subsequent precise calculation of the time of death, the time of death of the suspect happened to be the same day as the time of death of the victim.

That is, after the suspect killed the victim, he died in his own home that night.

Since the suspect has been brought to justice, the case is closed...... But when it comes to talking about it, the local police are reluctant to talk about it.

A few days after the end of this incident.

Occasionally, there is a red umbrella in a separate place on a public umbrella stand in Hashima City.

Some people who can't wait for the rain to stop and are reluctant to take a taxi often die due to accidents after using this red umbrella.

After an autopsy, it was revealed that they all had a large amount of rain and sticky black hair left on their bodies.

…………

The weird and strange stories are finished.

The old woman's voice in Han Dong's mind continued to say some relevant task requirements and arrangements.

[Strange Talk Level]: B

[Trigger mode]: non-clue, indirect trigger.

[Requirements]: Carry an umbrella with you within 24 hours (the umbrella is required to be separated from the individual at most). During the period, separation from the umbrella for any reason will be recounted.

When the time is up, you can get "Strange Tale Information", and you can get the corresponding "Strange Tale Points" by handing it over to the "Shop".

Giggles! (eerie laughter)

At this point, the introduction of a side event similar to the end ends.

"It's completely different from the interpretation of the side events in the fate space, like an old man telling strange stories...... There's a level issue involved.

The current red umbrella corresponds to the [B] level.,It's supposed to be a weird story that is slightly above the middle.,I didn't expect to encounter it at the beginning.。

However, one thing has also been proved through this incident.

Even if you don't go through the clues in the "Shop", you can trigger "Strange Talk".

Since it is required to bring it with you, so be it......

As for the issues in the strange talk, I'll come back to that later. I guess the origin of this umbrella is complicated, and the former serial murderer may also be one of the 'umbrella' holders. ”

Han Dong carried the umbrella behind him through a thin rope.

The requirement to carry it for 24 hours is obviously to let Han Dong survive this time without dying...... Just now, the poor office worker was in trouble in five minutes.

"Let's try to get back to the crossroads and meet them......"

Han Dong had just put on his umbrella and was about to walk out of the alley.

A chill of rain on his cheeks was heard......

Han Dong turned his head to take a look.

A head is 'growing' on his shoulder.

It's completely different from Chen Li's feelings.

Chen Li is still human at heart.

At present, it is a real 'spirit' that is rooted in Han Dong's shoulders through threads of flesh.

Pale makeup.

Two red dots touched the upper and lower lips, and a moist, dripping dark gray tongue sticks out of the mouth.
