Chapter 100: A New Mission
Hearing this, I silently and gently stroked the death manual in my hand, feeling as if I could understand the ghost girl's mood. She always wanted to be a manga artist, and eventually she made her debut in this way with the help of Shirasa, and she gained a huge amount of attention.
Legally, the police didn't notice anything strange in the death manual, which meant that she could continue to draw as long as she wanted, and follow this trend, and before long she would be a sought-after cartoonist at home and abroad.
But all this is not in vain, it is all conditional - someone needs to make sacrifices. And those people are all innocent ordinary people who have nothing to do with the ghost girl. No, strictly speaking, maybe these people are not innocent.
Because, the cartoons drawn by the ghost girl are all stories created according to the narrative of the unjust soul, that is, those who will die in the "death comics" drawn by the ghost girl have the exact cause of death.
Because they had killed other people, they ended up dying in the Oni Maiden's comics. And this seems to be a kind of karmic reincarnation, but in fact, it is not. The ghost girl may have found some comfort in this self-deception at first.
Eventually, however, she came to her senses. She may have discovered that what she was doing was not fulfilling the last wishes of the souls, nor was it something that would make her guiltless - she was sinning, she was killing.
At this time, she is no longer a horror cartoonist, but a tool for killing. Originally, the death manual was a tool used to kill people, but the ghost girl chose to sell her soul and bind herself, her dreams, and the tools of murder.
The ending is unsatisfactory, and those who have died in the comics cannot come back to life, but the ghost girl is also dead, and in a place that no one knows, in the quietest way, but also the most direct way, paid the price she should pay.
I don't dare to say that the ghost girl's approach is absolutely correct, but I understand the kindness of the ghost girl. At the same time, I'm glad that it was the ghost girl who got the death manual, and not anyone else.
Perhaps if he had changed to anyone else, he would not have recognized his sin so easily, and perhaps he would have continued to draw with a clear conscience until he was completely swallowed up by his own encounter. It's a tragedy with no answers, but in the end, it's finally coming to an end.
The baboon man gave me the death manual and left, his back was still very chic, without the slightest hesitation, for me, the baboon man is a selfish guy. But now I'm getting used to it.
There was even a mood of understanding the baboon man. Because I had a strange idea in my head. I remember that the white straight man said that neither he nor the baboon man were human, and the baboon man hated humans.
So, suppose the baboon man has been doing this kind of thing in the human world, and he has been doing it for an unknown number of years—or a century, or even longer. So, how could he still maintain a normal human heart?
What's more, he is not even a human, he is a messenger sent from the underworld, and he is here to complete his mission. All he has to do is keep giving orders, however, it also means that the baboon man has seen countless tragedies happen.
Think about it from a different perspective, if I were a baboon man, would I be able to be like him? After the baboon man left, I sat alone and thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't come up with a corresponding answer. My answer is no.
Perhaps, I may not be able to do even a tenth of the baboon man, after all, I have only just come into contact with this circle, and I have already made a deep impression of the tragedy of the world, and I am bound to see more things after that, and I am even a little worried.
I fear that one day I will not be killed by ghosts, but defeated by myself—perhaps, one day I will not be able to bear the darkness of this world, and I will lose hope of living. I sincerely hope that this is just my own delusion and that there will be no such day.
Two days after returning to the haunted house, the baboon man reconnected with me, and I found the company and took the assignment from him. This time, since I've already started the F-Class mission, there are three options in total.
The first D-class mission is to investigate an abandoned temple, which has been abandoned for nearly half a century, and has been a frequent occurrence here lately, and it is said that a group of men in black can often be seen gathering here in the middle of the night to worship the broken stone statue.
After looking at the D-Class mission for a moment, I flipped to the next page and looked at the C-Class mission, which was also a more important task for me. To be honest, there is no need to accept D-level missions at this stage, it is not cost-effective at all, this time it will either be C-level or F-class.
And this is all judged according to the nature of the C-level and F-level missions, if according to the overview of the mission content, it feels that the F-level is too dangerous than the C-level, I will choose to give up this time and do the C-level mission again, after all, the future is long, and there is no point in being anxious.
The content of the C-level mission I saw,It's completely beyond my expectations.,The task is to ask me to rewrite myths and legends.,There are a total of five places where myths and legends need to be rewritten.,After all the rewrites are over.,You can complete the task.。
The three requirements of the mission are also the same, the first requirement is to find the location of at least one myth and legend, the second is to rewrite two or more legends, and the third task is to rewrite all the legends.
But at this time, the limitations of the task description are also thoroughly reflected, and the next time of the previous task is also the same, and the mission description alone cannot know the danger of the task itself.
The functions of the ghost assistant are obviously very complete, but the explanation of the danger is very brief, and I don't know if it is intentional or what. Still, when I saw one word in the mission description, I was reluctant.
According to the mission statement, the first place to go is a hospital that has been abandoned for more than 20 years and has not yet been demolished. And the first myth and legend seems to have been written in the morgue.
I remember hearing about this abandoned hospital when I was a child, and I liked to make a fool of myself when I was in school, and everyone must have something to do with this abandoned hospital when they tell ghost stories.
When it comes to abandoned hospitals, almost all children are startled, and timid girls even cry. The results were outstanding—so I felt like I had been looking up a lot of information about abandoned hospitals in order to be the most visible one in my class.
Although my memory is a little blurry because I was a child, I vaguely remember that many disgraceful things happened in this abandoned hospital. One of the things that happened was that the director of the hospital was a very young man.
And the reason why this young dean can become a dean at such a young age is entirely because it is their family that invested in this hospital. This is the son of a chaebol family. And he came to be the dean for a very secret reason.
After he became the director, strange things often happened in the hospital, such as the sudden and mysterious disappearance of patients, and even the sudden disappearance of corpses in the morgue. This matter was mysterious at the beginning, so a reporter with good things began to sneak into the investigation.
I read a piece of news – it was paper journalism at the time, and when I was a kid, online journalism wasn't as developed as it is now.
That's really a small column, in a small corner, with dense small print, recording the results of this infiltrated reporter. I was obsessed with looking for terrible urban legends about the abandoned hospital, so I finally found this report.
It is written that the reason why there are patients in this hospital who disappear frequently, and those who disappear are those who are seriously ill and have signed a critical illness notice, is because the grandfather of the hospital director is a living dead who is immortal.
He had lived to be nearly two hundred years old, and externally, this person was dead, but everyone in the family, everyone knew that their old patriarch was still alive and well, but no longer as a human being.
This old man, who has become the living dead, needs to absorb a large amount of human blood and flesh to nourish his body, so it is said that there is an unknown secret room in this abandoned hospital. In addition, there are several specific wards, all of which are directly connected to this chamber.
It's just that this matter seems to have been inexplicably terminated in the middle of the investigation, so I only found this one of the reports that remained, but I remember that I used this report to tell a lot of ghost stories that scared the whole class.
is even pestered every day by a few girls who love weird stories and urban legends like the current Mumu senior sister. At the time, I didn't think there was anything, the younger I was, the more bold I became, and all I was thinking about was the big white legs of girls, so I thought it was interesting to collect these materials.
As for now...... If I could go back in time, I would really like to kill myself who investigated all that mess. It's so bad that I think if I hadn't done my previous investigation into this abandoned hospital, I think I might have chosen this C-class mission.
But at least for now, it seems that I am resistant to this C-class mission, according to the baboon man's usual style, the mission he gave me will never be as simple as it seems, the first two missions are like this, I have to doubt.
After reading the C-class mission, I took a deep breath and turned to the next page with the F-class mission. To be honest, this is the main thing this time, the content of the C-level mission is important, but what really makes me decide is actually the content of the F-class mission.
F-Class missions seem to be a bit more mundane than C-Class missions, but they just look ordinary, and I wouldn't believe that this mission will really be as easy as it describes.
The name of the F-class mission is "Taxi Serial Murder Case", and it is said that there have been frequent cases of passengers taking taxis in Jinhe City recently, and the people of Jinhe City are afraid to take taxis at night.
