The appearance of the videotape solves the case of Matsuo's death, and the next problem in front of Chasen is the death of Kazuya Miura.

The body was found on the evening of the 12th, but the stump that had been cut into several pieces in the garbage bag caused a series of problems. First of all, the first scene of the murder was certainly not there, which has been confirmed by the police. Not far from Ikeda's home, the police found the murder weapon discarded by Ikeda, which was an ordinary kitchen knife, with Miura's blood and Ikeda's fingerprints on it.

So, who is the one who dismembered the body? Tianyi is very suspicious, but after thinking about it, Cha Xian ruled out this possibility, according to the experience summarized in previous investigations, Tianyi rarely walked out of the bookstore, and as soon as he came out, at least a few capable people had to die.

It's hard to imagine that Tianyi will personally go for a trip to deal with corpses, so there is someone else who dismembered the corpse.

If Ikeda had the courage to return to the scene and remove the body, there would be no reason to leave the murder weapon behind, let alone commit suicide a few hours later.

Well, there must be another person in the case, who arrived quickly after Ikeda's murderous escape, removed the body, and simply cleaned up the scene, then cut it into pieces in a secret place and finally discarded it somewhere a few kilometers away.

And this person, after doing a series of things, still left the murder weapon near the scene. There is only one explanation for this abnormal behavior.

He was able to know exactly when and where a murder occurred, rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, and did something contrary to common sense...... That person must have been instructed by Tianyi.

But who is this corpse splitter......

The three reverse cross victims who were taken over by the Hokkaido Third Branch were Manami Sato, a female college student who cut her wrists by the cross in the church, Kosuke Kaneda, a corporate employee who accidentally fell from the building, and Saionji Ichiro, a freelancer who committed suicide by poisoning. The only clue related to this case is that of Ichiro Saionji, whose younger brother is in the same grade as Kazuya Miura and is a member of the school's light music club, which is the only remaining connection.

But all three died before December 10, and despite the fact that one of them was a woman, the other two did not have a driver's license or a car, and were not in a position to move and dispose of the bodies in a short period of time.

As for the rest of the players, the only one is the mentally deranged Nozomi Ikeda, who is the most likely to clean up the aftermath of his father, but he was at school that afternoon, and he has a very reliable alibi.

Don't...... And undiscovered gamers?

This is different from Tianyi's past case, there is almost no living mouth in his game, or perhaps, the undetected gamer is also dead, but his death is disguised as a natural death, and the reverse cross on his face is not found?

Cha Fairy's investigation is at an impasse, and he begins to check every recent police case in the police department's archives to find some strange deceased, such as the charred, disfigured, or simply unable to find the body. If the person is still alive, the problem will be more complicated......

Ten months have passed, and the case has finally progressed to the stage of customs clearance. The players have more or less committed crimes, but these six people are dead, either killing each other or committing suicide, Cha Xian has sorted things out, he knows the cause of death of each person, and he also knows how they are connected to each other, but so what, like the case that Tianyi did in the past, after seeing the ins and outs, he found that no one could be arrested, and no one needed to be punished, because their crimes had been duly rewarded.

Nozomi Ikeda, the only survivor, had gone insane, and he had not committed any crimes.

In the end, there was only one question left unsolved, or the person who never surfaced, the one who was instructed by Tianyi to dismember.

The tea fairy gradually became suspicious of whether this person was a gamer...... If he wasn't a gamer, but Tianyi's assistant, many of the situations would have been explained. Since he is not motivated by "sin", then this person must still be alive in this world, and as long as he is found, he may be able to find Tianyi.

............

It's a big circle, but I still have to go back to square one. Chasen returns to the psychiatric hospital to see if Nozomi Ikeda, who had been like a walking corpse a month ago, can speak.

The nurse who led the way opened the door to the hospital room for him, and the tea fairy entered the room and motioned for him to wait outside, closing the door.

Inside, Ikeda sat on the bed with a glazed gaze, and there was no improvement compared to the last time the tea fairy came.

Cha Xian sighed, he felt that this time it was likely to be another trip for nothing, but he still tried to call out the other party's name: "Ikeda-kun." ”

Who knows, when these three words came out, the other party actually moved, he raised his head and looked at the face of the tea fairy: "It's a pity that the test failed." ”

The temperature around him seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant, and the tea fairy's surprise was completely written on his face, and at this moment, he could hardly believe what he had seen and heard: "What are you talking about......"

"It's been a month, which is beyond the expected deadline of the 'narrator'. I don't need to stay here any longer. Every word he said made the tea fairy realize that everything he knew before was completely under Tianyi's control.

"Who are you?" Cha Xian was on guard, he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not the ordinary high school student Ikeda Nozozo.

The person sitting on the hospital bed gradually changed, under his hospital gown, his whole body became pitch black, it didn't look like human skin at all, the texture was more like a black spacesuit, a black, hairless head, concave and distinct facial features, and the eyes sunken in the eye sockets revealed a cyan light.

Dark Water's tone was cold and unemotional: "Of course I am not Nozomi Ikeda, I devoured him, and according to the instructions of the 'narrator', there are two things I need to tell you. First, there is what happened on December 12.

That morning, Ikeda Nozomi said the words 'September 4th' to Miura, causing him to kill him, and at the same time, Whale visited Ikeda to learn about the case, and in the afternoon, Ikeda went to the 'narrator' for fear that the police would track him down, and learned that Miura was trying to murder his son somewhere, so he went to stop him, and Miura was killed.

Next, I went to the scene, tore the body apart and moved it, simply removed the bloodstains, and left the murder weapon behind. Later, after school, Nozomi Ikeda went to the 'narrator' and returned home after receiving information that Miura had been killed by his father, and found that Takeshi Ikeda had committed suicide in fear of sin, and could not bear to suffer a mental disorder. ”

Cha Xian seemed to be far less interested in this case than in Dark Water, and he interrupted, "Are you Tianyi's assistant...... When did you start working for him?Why didn't you be seen in those cases in the past?And what does 'narrator' mean?" He thought he had seen the whole thing, but now he realized that there were too many questions to ask.

In fact, these suspicions of the tea fairy are all wrong, in November, Dark Water and gunsmiths were still fighting wits and courage in the South American rainforest, before that, when Tianyi was making waves outside, Dark Water was still sleeping in the underground ruins.

At noon on the 12th, the gunsmith came to the bookstore to seek refuge in Tianyi, and then entered the subspace of the bookstore. A few hours before Ikeda came to the bookstore, there was another uninvited guest: Dark Water.

Darkwater senses the location of the Eternal Core wherever it goes, so he tracks down the gunsmith from South America. The master who swallowed four HLs in the jungle is at the bottom, and the amount of memory and knowledge is basically enough, and there is no big problem for Dark Water to integrate into civilized society. While in Hokkaido, he finally caught up with the gunsmith, but the gunsmith hid in Tenichi's bookstore.

After the dark water came, he unexpectedly saw Tianyi, that is, the 'narrator' in his mouth, for their clan, the 'narrator' is a great existence second only to the gods, he respectfully met the other party, but Tianyi just "greeted" with a strange expression: "Your Lord's race is not extinct yet......

Tianyi asked some questions about Darkwater, and learned about the gunsmith's experience in South America. He told Dark Water not to rush to find that idiot, anyway, if you kill him, the eternal core can't be repaired, so it's better to let him slowly toss in the subspace. So, Tianyi accepted the dark water as a little brother with peace of mind. A few hours later, when Ikeda escaped violently, Tenichi learned about the situation through the Book of the Heart and sent Dark Water to dispose of the body.

On the thirteenth, Tianyi learned of HL's involvement, and he changed his strategy and devised a new trap. Before killing Kuwabara and leaving Hokkaido, he gave Dark Water a mission, which was to devour Ikeda Nozomi before the tea fairy arrived, and turn into him, if the tea fairy still did not find out the case after a month, he would definitely go to see him again, and then he would give up his disguise and relay the two messages to him.

The tea fairy thought that he knew Tianyi very well, but in fact, Tianyi knew everything about him, and he clearly knew the tea fairy's method of investigating the case, the way of thinking, the ability to control clues and the ability to derive chains, etc...... Until the end of the road, Cha Xian will never go into a mental hospital for the second time to ask for help from a mentally ill person's confession. And a month's "giving up time" is Tianyi's evaluation of the tea fairy according to his previous experience, and the "smart person" will not be entangled forever in an unsolvable matter.

At this moment, as if he hadn't heard the tea fairy's question, Dark Water just continued: "The second message, the original words of the 'narrator'......

I thought you were the fourth smartest person on the planet, but recently I found an interesting guy who could be even better than you, and a new test is already in the works.

It's time for you to be eliminated after all, Cha Xian, after all, it's been several years, and you don't even have the slightest sign of catching me, this thing really has a limit, and your bad taste also makes me very disgusted, all in all, this is your last chance.

Troubled times are coming, it seems that you are not fit to stand under the banner of the Cross, you will never stand in front of me as a law enforcer, and when you meet me as you wish, you will not be a wanted criminal of danger level 6, but the creator of a new world. ”
