Chapter 17: The Most Terrifying Hypothesis

Li Yin pasted a piece of paper on the wall with a magnet.

Midnight was beside him, looking at the relationships between the characters written on the paper and the current investigations, including Tang Feng, who had not yet been identified, and Yin Junxian, a new character.

"It seems complicated." Midnight looked at everyone's names and said, "And Tang Feng's testimony is that Teng Rongmu is suspicious. ”

Just now, Yin Ye and Li Yin had the latest call and informed them of this latest clue. At the same time, Huangfu also told Li Xin's Korean boyfriend, and also learned that Kang Jin and Teng Feiyu had a broken back relationship.

"Kang Jin is one of the three suspects currently in the hands of the police," Li Yin pointed to the word Kang Jin on the paper with his finger and said, "It seems that he is very suspicious at the moment." I've always been more concerned about Fuji Feiyu, who was killed in the first place, because the earliest murder cases may produce supernatural phenomena that we didn't notice. And at present, Tang Feng, Teng Rongmu, Kang Jin, and suspicious characters related to Teng Feiyu have appeared. ”

"Kang Jin, will it really be a guillotine demon?" Midnight didn't seem to believe this assertion, saying, "At present, he has been arrested by the police, if it is a ghost, will it be so easy to be caught by humans?" Of course, it may also be the trick of the apartment, but if you continue to follow it, clues to the human head may appear. In fact, for us, not being able to get a head is the biggest failure, and everything else is secondary. The identity of the guillotine demon was not important from the beginning, what was important was the whereabouts of the six heads. ”

Li Yin also nodded. In fact, from the very beginning, he noticed the problem with this blood word.

The Blood Word is not to find out who the guillotine is, but to find the six heads. However, it is generally believed that the head is likely to be in the hands of the guillotine. In fact, the police also conducted a carpet search of the surrounding area of the victim, but never found the head. And since the apartment asks for "find", it must be "findable". Thinking that it is in the hands of the guillotine demon is the safest idea.

However, it is also likely to be a trap of apartment layout. In fact, who said that the head must be in the hands of the guillotine? No, even the existence of a "guillotine" is a big question. So where the head is, in fact, it is impossible to think according to conventional logic. Li Yin believes that no matter how unlikely the possible surname is, it must be considered, because the blood characters given by this apartment are not at all able to be deduced with common sense and normal logic.

"For example, it's possible that a human head is hidden somewhere in close reach, but the apartment hides it in a clever way." Midnight suddenly said something shocking: "The more commonplace things are, the easier they are to be ignored." For example, a human head is made into a plaster cast, and the smell of rancid smell is wiped out in some way. Or, wrap the human head around it and appear in front of a person as a round object, but no one will doubt it. ”

Li Yin also considered this possibility. It is the apartment that gives the occupants the illusion that they need to find a needle in a haystack to find a human head, so it is easy for the occupants to think about the whole thing very complicated. And if you think complexly, you won't pay attention to the simple things in front of you. The so-called "guillotine" is likely to be a completely fictional existence of the apartment, which is used to make the residents imagine nothingness.

The apartment can completely pass a certain curse, and after killing the person, hide the person's head somewhere. Maybe it's the family of the deceased, or it may be a place where the deceased frequented, or more likely, hidden in a completely unrelated place with some very obscure clue. In any case, as long as the head cannot be found, it is estimated that there will be no ghost to kill the occupant at all, because without a head, even if you flee back to the apartment, you will die!

This time, the horror of the blood word is different from the past, not the ghost, but the thing itself that "can't find the head"!

"In that case, what do you think, Li Yin?" Midnight pointed to the characters listed on the piece of paper and said, "Which person, or thing, do you think could be a clue to the hiding place of the head?" ”

"Actually, there's one more thing I care about. Midnight. ”

"Well, what is it?"

"Why are you looking for a 'human head'?"

This is what Li Yin has always been most puzzled about.

Maybe the average resident won't think about it that much, because they have experienced so many horrible things. The image of a ghost like a "human head", which is obviously a frequent occurrence in horror stories, is not much strange. But Li Yin didn't understand.

The fact that a human head can be brought into an apartment proves that the human head itself is not a ghost. In that case, why make a head for what you need to find?

If you're looking for a bead or a stone or something, wouldn't it be okay too? It doesn't have to be a head. Just to highlight the horror? That would be even more unreasonable. None of the ghosts in the apartment are extremely terrifying, and there is no need to add the name "Guillotine". At all, there is no point.

There must be a mystery in the human head itself. So...... A problem arises.

Those six heads, really...... Isn't it a ghost? In fact, the apartment does say that it is possible to bring people in. But...... That was after "entering the apartment". What if the head itself was possessed by some evil spirit before it was brought into the apartment? And, after entering the apartment, will the evil spirit leave? So, what does it mean to find a human head without entering the apartment?

This is the most terrifying possibility hidden behind this blood letter. Because even if you know this, you have to carry a head into the apartment. Because the condition of the apartment is that "the occupant holder enters the apartment with his head in the head". At all, it is impossible to let other residents do it for them. What's more, the residents are unlikely to do it for them.

"Do you think the human head might be possessed by some ghost?"

"Yes." Li Yin said: "Actually, I still have a consideration. That is, some of the six human heads may be possessed by ghosts, while the other part may be pure human heads. In other words, bringing the head of the person without the possession of the evil spirit back to the apartment is the only way to survive. I think it's very likely. ”

Midnight also nodded and said, "However, there are only six heads in total." If your hypothesis is true......"

"Yes. In other words, in the best case, it is impossible for all the people to return to the apartment, and there will be sacrifices. For a single householder, only one head is sufficient. That is, in the most extreme case......"

"It's possible that the apartment only has a human head that is not possessed by a ghost!"

This is the most terrible situation. It is also a hypothesis that Li Yin does not want to believe. But with the brutal style of the apartment, who can guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen? Find the only human head that is not possessed by a ghost and take it back to the apartment. In other words, the apartment is designed to be a dead end where six people have to kill each other! There's no room for manoeuvre!

This is terrifying just to think about.

"Let's hope not." Li Yin held his mobile phone, looked at the screen, and said, "Liancheng and Yi Yu are the only two people who are still alive among the residents I have known since I first entered the apartment...... And Silver Night and Silver Feather, I don't want them to die either......"

Although they are destined to fight against it for the sake of the contract fragment, Li Yin actually admires Silver Night very much, because they are all people who can do anything for the people they love. Li Yin, I really don't want these six people, only one of them can return to the apartment alive.

"It is impossible for someone to sacrifice and give their heads to others. Even if it was Silver Night, he might not really sacrifice himself to give up his head to Silver Feather. ”

If, such a choice is placed in front of him, and he and Midnight go together to execute such blood letters, then, what should I do?

Give up the head to midnight, can you do it yourself?

This is a problem that just thinking about it makes Li Yin almost collapse. So, it was an assumption that he didn't want to believe anyway.

Thankfully, this is just a hypothetical assumption at the moment. None of the clues found so far can confirm this hypothesis. Therefore, the human head may also be a pure human head.

Actually, the same assumption...... Silver Night also thought of it. It's just that this assumption is too terrifying, so that Silver Night doesn't want to accept it anyway, and doesn't want to think about it too much.

Faced with a life-and-death choice, the most selfish nature of human beings will be completely exposed. Morality, surnames, and ethics will become insignificant, the most hypocritical things. As long as you want to live, you can only have the truest side. This is the last thing human beings want to face, but it is the essence of real existence.

"You mean, you were taken to Liu Bin's house?"

"Well, that's for sure." Murong Mirage said on the other end of the silver night's phone, "So you guys hurry up." In addition, Kang Jin also revealed a very important testimony. In the eyes of the police, it was his deranged words, but he did say it to us. ”

"What?" Silver Night was getting into a taxi with Yin Yu at the moment, and when he heard Murong Mirage's words, he suddenly had a premonition.

"He said he saw Fuji Feiyu. He said that Fuji Feiyu is still alive in this world. ”

Silver Night's hands trembled suddenly!

That's it!

"Where did he see it!"

Silver Night's roar startled the taxi drivers in front of him. And how smart Silver Feather was sitting next to Silver Night, she immediately realized something.

Finally, there is a clue to the human head!

Originally, he planned to go directly to Fuji Rongmu first, but Yinye immediately changed his mind!

"Where did he see that? Tell me! ”

"It's the same as your destination, which is in the men's toilet of a café near Yoo Bin's house. He said he saw ......"

After listening, Yinye immediately hung up the phone and said to the driver in front of him: "Master, hurry over as soon as possible!" Money is not an issue! ”

Anyway, the transportation card provided by the apartment is unlimited recharged, so you don't have to worry about transportation funds at all. Silver Night doesn't use its own car, also to save fuel. There will be more blood to be implemented in the future, and oil prices have risen higher and higher in recent years.

Coming to the door of the café, Silver Night and Silver Feather got out of the car.

"That's it...... Over here? ”

According to Kang Jin's testimony, he had seen the living vine flying rain in it.

"Fuji Feiyu, has it become a ghost?"

The two of them are not afraid. If you can't get a head, it's a dead end, and it's the same death anyway, so it's better to fight. However, there are still other clues to find the other five heads, and there is no need to send them to death.

"For the time being, don't act rashly." "And it's not necessarily still here," Silver Night said. Let's wait and see. In addition......"

He looked at a neighborhood across the street from the café, an apartment building.

"Fuji Rong Mu...... And Liu Xin lived there. ”

Why did Tang Feng say that Teng Rongmu needed to investigate? Could it be that Fuji Rongmu is a guillotine demon?

Indeed, it is likely that a child in human form is actually a terrifying demon. Moreover, the image of the child can also have a great confusing effect on the occupants.

In fact, before this, Silver Night and Silver Feather had already sneaked into Liu Xin's house once. Silver Night took a lead wire, easily opened the lock, and after entering, he searched for a long time, but did not find a head. After that, I went to Kang Jin's house again, and I used the same method to sneak in, but I didn't find anyone's head.

As for using lead wire to pick the lock, it was specially studied before the silver night considering that it might be used in the future blood characters. However, if the lock is too complicated, it will be difficult to deal with.

Liu Xin's family and Kang Jin's family have no heads.

By this time, it was already getting a little dark. One day, so soon, it will pass again. When night falls, do you want to see them?

Even if you see it, can you get the head? Could it be that he just said Tang Feng's words to Liu Xin and investigate Teng Rongmu?

This is clearly unrealistic.

At present, neither is it advancing or retreating. Neither the café nor the apartment could get in. The clue is right in front of you, but you can't get it at all.

However, at this time, suddenly...... Silver Night saw that across the road, Liu Xin and a boy appeared!

That boy is the boy who appeared in the photo on the table that Liu Xin's house saw!

It's Fuji Rongmu!

The two of them are actually crossing the street at the moment, walking straight!

"Brother, how to do it?"

"This ......" Silver Night's brain is also spinning rapidly, and the opportunity is fleeting!

So, both of them made a decision, and when the two of them came, Silver Night immediately flew over!

"Willow ......"

However, as soon as the word "willow" came out, Silver Night couldn't go on. Because...... When the child named Fuji Rongmu saw Yinye, he suddenly screamed, and then broke free from his mother and fled!

Silver Night no longer hesitated, and immediately chased after Silver Feather with her!

"Don't run! We have no ill will towards you! ”

Silver Night and Silver Feather are adults after all, and children with short legs, how far can they run? Moreover, Teng Rongmu was still holding a plastic bag in his hand. It didn't take long for the two to gradually catch up with Teng Rongmu. At this time, Liu Xin was also chasing behind, shouting: "Rong Mu! Rong Mu! ”

The distance between Silver Night and Teng Rongmu is getting shorter and shorter. However, it also gradually ran into a small road with fewer people.

At the moment when he was about to approach Fuji Rongmu, suddenly Fuji Rongmu fell!

With this fall, the plastic bag in Teng Rongmu's hand fell out. And then...... What rolled out of the plastic bag turned out to be ......

Tang Feng's head!

Silver Night suddenly braked and stopped!

Teng Rongmu immediately grabbed the human head and stuffed it back into the plastic bag. Then, he slowly raised his head......

"Silver Feather, run!"

Where did Silver Night dare to stay, he immediately grabbed Silver Feather's hand and rushed towards another alley!

In the process of running away, Yin Yu also trembled and said, "What's the matter? Tang Feng actually died? ”

"Fuji Rong Mu...... The kid ......" Silver Night gritted her teeth and said, "The head must be found in him!" ”

After running out of the alley, Silver Night immediately stopped a taxi and got in. At this moment, you have to run as far as you can! Moreover, maybe even Liu Xin, who chased after him, would be killed!

After getting into the taxi, the two still didn't dare to relax their nerves. Yin Yu was even more frightened and asked, "Brother, if Fuji Rongmu is a decapitated demon, will it ...... Come and kill us? ”

Silver Night certainly knows this, too. But it's only the second day, less than a third of the time. However, it is possible that even if the Guillotine were to kill them immediately.

For fifteen days, I couldn't go back to the apartment...... It's hell!

At the same time, Yin Junxian took Huangfu and Xia Xiaomei to Li Xin's house.

After taking out the key and opening the door, he said, "Come in." ”

This is the place where Li Xin was killed, the place where the guillotine demon once appeared, Xia Xiaomei didn't want to go in, but considering that there might be a chance of a living trip from the apartment at the scene, she gritted her teeth and walked in.

As for the emperor, he is very indifferent and has no fear.

"I haven't been here in a long time."

As the scene of the murder, this place has been cordoned off by the police, and a seal has been affixed outside. However, no police officers were arranged. I don't know, this is the "arrangement" of the apartment, so as to facilitate the investigation of the residents.

After closing the door, Yoon Junxian walked into the study where Li Xin was killed.

"Ah Xin...... It was here that he was killed. ”

Everything in the room remained the same, and Huang Fu also wore gloves to prevent fingerprints from being left. He carefully observed the entire room, which was not messy, although it was covered with a lot of dust. There really isn't any sign of intrusion.

At this time, a figure was approaching the apartment where Li Xin lived.

Liu Zisheng raised his head and looked at the apartment, the door of Li Xin's house. At this moment, the window is showing light.

But Liu Zisheng's eyes revealed a trace of extremely deep darkness......
