It wasn't until more than two o'clock in the afternoon that Mu Yi dug out and read the report on the disappearance of five children from this year's newspaper, and learned about the situation of the five missing children.

As for the other clues, there are no other clues, because these children have nothing in common in terms of age, personality and circle of friends, it seems that this murderer committed the crime randomly, then this detection seems to be as difficult to deal with as Jack the Ripper.

However, Mu Yi was not discouraged, and the next time he was about to look at other information, when he noticed that many cabinets were not satisfied with the thick dust, and several of them clearly showed traces of wiping, respectively 1881, 1908, 1935 and 1962.

However, Mu Yi's hand had just been placed on the cabinet door when he heard heavy footsteps in the stairs, it seemed that the weight of the person who came was not light, the footsteps of this person were getting closer and closer, and soon arrived at the underground library, it seemed that he was somewhat familiar with this place.

"Hey, is there anyone here? What about the classmate who came first? A slightly immature voice swirled around the basement.

Before Mu Yi could answer, the lights in the underground library suddenly flickered at the same time! Footsteps appeared in the basement and on the stairs at the same time.

Mu Yi noticed that a black shadow had passed around the bookshelf on his side, and it looked like it should be a humanoid shadow, which made him feel a little frightened, because he didn't expect that there would be other people in the underground library for so long without any movement!

"Something!" Mu Yi said this sentence at the same time as the newcomer, and then Mu Yi copied out the stick, "Did you dream last night?" I'm Billy and I like Cao Cao. ”

"Heaven's Gate! Holy, here's a headless corpse! The newcomer Ben was surprised and said, "Come and help me." ”

Although Mu Yi could only hear the voice, judging from the other party's nervous appearance, this was not a joke, so he rushed out of the newspaper storage room directly, because he had a faint vision, he walked like a fly, and quickly bypassed a corner.

At this time, there was another sound of something breaking on the other side of the stairs, and then the sound of going down the stairs became very fast.

But just as Mu Yi turned the corner, a hideous clown appeared in front of him, Mu Yi immediately braked sharply and stopped, and swung the stick in his hand fiercely.

With bang! With a loud bang, a balloon filled with flour was popped by Mu Yi, and white dust rose into the sky, filling the entire library.

(Hint: Your eye has been invaded by a foreign object and is blinded for 30 seconds.) ）

Mu Yi's vision was directly blurred by the dust, so he could only reluctantly retreat to the wall, use his ears to distinguish the surrounding movements, and shout at the same time: "Ben, be careful of clowns!" This thing is not human, I was blinded, you hold on for thirty seconds! ”

"I'm looking at a headless corpse! Yes! Yes! Ben's voice was very unstable, as if he was rushing to the road, "I don't have any fighting ability at all now, and I'm the target of bullying on campus!" Hurry up, dude! ”

There were only two footsteps left in the underground library, and their cadence should soon be chasing and fleeing, and the one behind seemed to be the thing that MT was chasing him from, so where did the black shadow that flashed in front of his eyes go? Mu Yi was suspicious, and his palms seemed to be sweating.

"I'm around the corner of the entrance to the newspaper pantry, you go around and lean in." Mu Yi said loudly, "I have a weapon, and there are twenty seconds left in the time limit." ”

"Really? What now? The clown's strange voice suddenly appeared in front of Mu Yi, which startled him a lot.

Then a sharp pain came from Mu Yi's hand, and the intense pain made him let go of his hands directly, and the long stick fell straight to the ground.

Mu Yisan went crazy and directly hit the place where the sound appeared with his shoulder, but he didn't hit anything, and fell directly to the ground.

(Note: Your weapon has already been taken by the enemy, and will be permanently lost if not captured before the end of the world.) ）

After taking away his weapon, the Joker didn't attack him again, which made Mu Yi a little strange.

It's not the first time MT has come to this library, he is familiar with the book, he successfully took the headless corpse around the bookshelf in a circle, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly accelerate, and at the same time, his body also turned into a weird clown, and he directly knocked him down.

The clown had a hideous smile on his face, and his sharp nails lightly slashed across MT's face, creating a bloody wound directly on his face.

"Ahhh Help me! MT shouted for help.

"Hee-hee-hee!" The clown laughed even more wildly, "Scream, scream, see who can save you." ”

MT closed his eyes directly, unwilling to face what happened next, but nothing happened.

After a few more seconds, Mu Yi finally regained his sight, and at the same time, the electric light in the library returned to normal, and the white light shone on the messy underground library, which was covered with flying white powder.

"Oh my God! What's going on here, what's wrong with you two? The voice of the caretaker woman came up the stairs, and she ran down quickly, and saw the mess of the stacks, "How are you doing?" What's happening here! ”

Later, she found the two people lying on the ground, and hurriedly found someone to carry them to the infirmary.

Ten minutes later, Mu Yi and MT were treated and lay on the hospital bed in the infirmary. Mu Yi's eyes were completely back to normal after being washed by the water, and the scars on MT's body were also bandaged with gauze, and everything was getting better.

The female administrator left after a brief understanding of the situation, and it seemed that she had started an investigation into the registration of people entering and exiting, but after knowing that the murderer was a clown, Mu Yi didn't expect her to find anything.

The two of them were next to each other, so they exchanged the information they had obtained, and after Mu Yi finished talking about some of his discoveries, MT began to tell about his tragic experience.

MT's identity is a fat student Ben who has just transferred to another school, because his father died in the war, so he lives with his mother, and by the way, his mother is the librarian, so he can enter the library at any time with the key to find materials, as for his guiding task is to find clues and role-play (bear the school bullying).

The clues that MT has at the moment are the ones that Mu Yi has mastered, but his research has gone deeper and has found the general outline of the strange events.

More than 100 people who founded the town in 1881 disappeared at the same time, for unknown reasons; In 1908, there was a large explosion at the town's steel mill, killing and injuring a lot; In 1935, the biggest gang in town, the Bradley gang, disappeared overnight; In 1962, the Black Spot Club was bizarrely caught fire, and no one survived; This year, 1989, there were several cases of missing children.

As Mu Yi saw, the cycle of the case is twenty-seven years, and these twenty-seven years may be committed by the same murderer or a criminal group, and the murderer this time is likely to be the clown.

After completing the discussion, they were both given a hint.

(Hint: You've got the clues, the 27-year case, the puzzle that opens the main story has appeared.) ）

After completing the discussion, the two soldiers split up, Mu Yi went to the store to meet Mei and the broker, and MT continued to search for materials in the library.

······

(4:20 p.m., Dre Town Store) Mu Yi bought a bottle of soda and sat on a bench at the door waiting for his teammates to arrive, and soon he saw a bicycle squeaking and swaying at the intersection, and the person on it was none other than Broker Richie.

"How's it going, are there any new clues?" Richie locked the car at the door.

"Yes, what about you?" Mu Yi nodded and asked rhetorically.

"It's okay, we'll talk when Bev arrives, she's a beautiful girl." The broker's face showed a smile that he knew in understanding.

"Can I understand that you are praising me?" An ethereal voice sounded behind the two.

The two of them turned around sharply, and sure enough, they saw the smiling Mei.

"Stealth skills, kind of interesting." Mu Yi smiled and said, "I almost attacked. ”

"It's really amazing, let's go to the square." The broker pointed in the direction of the square, "It's a bit conspicuous here. ”

In the square, the broker briefly recounted his discovery, that is, strange things seemed to happen in the town periodically, and his elders were no longer surprised, but they kept him away from the dark places.

And Mei doesn't have any problems at the moment, but he just said that he felt that something was wrong at home but he never found it, and at the same time, the father of this body seemed to have some bad thoughts about this daughter.

Mu Yi and the broker laughed at the same time.

After that, Mu Yi shared with them three clues, the Joker, the twenty-seven years of disaster, and the missing child, and then the three of them went their separate ways and continued to investigate.
