Chapter 24: The Grim Reaper's List

A dark room with two-way glass on the wall, a table, three folding chairs, and a lamp on the table.

Two men in officer uniforms sat on one side of the table, while at the other end, a young man trembling slightly.

"Do you smoke?" As he spoke, the older officer reached out and handed out a box of cigarettes.

"Thank you...... Thank you......" The young man drew one of them, and the other party lit a fire for him, and he took a deep breath and calmed down a little.

"Now I start asking you some questions, take it easy, you just have to say what you know, don't be too nervous."

"Okay...... Okay......" Although the room was air-conditioned, he was still sweating.

"Then, I won't beat around the bush, let's ask you the key point, what happened in the White Phoenix Nightclub the night before yesterday, please tell you what you saw and heard in detail from the beginning, don't miss any details, especially who you have seen, or ...... What have you seen......"

The young man smoked a few more puffs of his cigarette and frowned, he was trying to recall those terrible memories, and finally, after a full five minutes of silence, he spoke: "I went to work as usual that day, and when I was changing clothes in the lounge, I suddenly noticed that there was an extra booklet in the locker. I organize the cabinets every day, my clothes are folded or hung up, and things are arranged separately, so I know when I have more.

I thought it was strange that only our manager had the keys to all the cabinets except myself, but if he had put them in, why? So I wanted to open it and take a look, but it turned out that it was full of people's names, and I turned back from the first page, and I wrote about a dozen pages, many of which were the staff of our nightclub, even the owner's name on it, and some people's names, I didn't recognize.

While I was reading the brochure, two strangers suddenly entered the lounge, most of the nightclub employees I knew, but I had never seen them once. I asked them what was the matter, they claimed to be a police officer, or a criminal policeman, but I didn't think so, because the listless-looking man had too long hair and was messy, at least I had never seen such a policeman, and the other one was too young, where was such a young criminal policeman?

But they were able to get the papers, and although I suspected that it was fake, I really hadn't seen it, so I had to believe them. ”

Hearing this, the officer asked, "Did they say their names?" ”

"The one with a sleeping face said that his surname was Gu, his name was Guhata, and he said that the young one was his assistant named Imaizumi, and I didn't hear anything wrong for a while, but then I remembered the origin of these two names, and they used the names of the police in Japanese dramas to fool me......"

"Hmm...... Go on. ”

The young man took another puff of his cigarette: "The man surnamed Gu asked me to show him the booklet in my hand, and I handed it to him without much thought, but before I handed it to him, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a change on the first page of the booklet, and the situation looked very ...... Very ......" he didn't seem to know how to describe it.

The young officer interjected, "You want to say that evil is right? ”

The young man looked up at him and was stunned for a few seconds: "Yes...... Right! It's evil! I was still holding the things in my hand, and I saw that from the first name on the first page, all the names began to be crossed out one by one, like an invisible, blood-red pen, and the names were quickly scratched......

Just then, there was a loud bang upstairs, and then I slipped and lost my balance and fell, and I later learned that it was a big explosion, and the whole nightclub shook......

Then the younger 'police officer' rushed at me, and I didn't know what he was going to do at first, but when I looked up, I saw that the ceiling had collapsed, and a large block of cement had been thrown at me. I was stunned for a moment, and all that was left in my ears was the chaotic voices and shouts outside, and then ...... As soon as my eyes went dark, I didn't know anything. ”

After the two officers listened to his statement, the older one thought for a moment and asked, "Have you seen that pamphlet you said since that night?" ”

The young man shook his head: "When I woke up from the hospital, I didn't have anything on me except a hospital gown, I think it should have been taken away by those two people, speaking of which...... I was only slightly injured when such a big piece of cement fell, could it be that those two people saved me......"

"You sit and wait......" The older officer stood up and walked out of the only door.

Outside the door, there was another room, and on the opposite side of the two-way glass, there was also a man in military uniform, who was smoking a cigarette with a deep brow.

"Captain Shang, look at this ......"

Shang Weiguo didn't reply: "Let him go in a while, this matter should have nothing to do with the bombing, it's the matter of those ghost hunters, it's just a matter of getting things into their hands, those gods and monsters, even if they are given to us, it will be difficult to deal with." ”

"Yes!" The officer pushed the door open again and walked out.

Shang Weiguo extinguished his cigarette, and he had basically determined in his heart who the two people in the young man's mouth were just now.

"Looks like I'm going to see you again...... Wang Xu......"

…………

Midnight, 13 Dongfang Road, 2nd floor.

Three men each holding a cup of coffee sat around the coffee table, their eyes fixed on a booklet on the coffee table.

The pamphlet was now opened, and every name on its first page had been crossed out by a red line, and in fact, two hours earlier, all thirteen pages of the booklet had been crossed.

When the bell rang at twelve o'clock on time, except for the cat master who was still sitting with a blank look in his eyes, Wang Xu and Elbert both moved forward a little excitedly, only to see that the words on the booklet became blurred, and then gradually disappeared, and then new words appeared, still names, unfamiliar names, this time ten pages.

New, ten pages long, with names not yet crossed out in blood-red handwriting.

Wang Xu stood up excitedly: "It seems...... This is the legendary ......"

Elbert continued: "The list of the Grim Reaper ......"

The cat man leaned back on the sofa: "Then the problem now comes, a week ago, this thing was not in the hands of the god of death, ......why did it appear at the scene of various major accidents one after another?"
