act.18 The cross in the castle
"But I can't go through the wall!" Chestnuts are a little crazy.
I'm a ghost! A ghost can't even pass through a wall, is this said in the past? In Chestnut's opinion, using the power of the leylines is insignificant compared to piercing through walls.
"If you can't go through the wall, you can't go through the wall." Inukai apparently saw what Kuriko was thinking, and comforted, "We've all come in, and if there's anything, we'll investigate it ourselves." ”
"Indeed." Ueki looked at Chestnut and said, "And, according to your previous description, there is a problem with the walls of the castle, and the space in some places is unstable, and if you rush through the wall, it is very likely that you will get lost." This kind of place is too dangerous to act alone. ”
Chestnut could only sigh helplessly and gave up the idea of being a scout.
At this time, the four leaves had already opened the door, and after observing for a while, he walked lightly to the location of his mobile phone just now, and then the corners of his mouth twitched.
"What's wrong?" Ueki asked, a little confused.
"Is this guy a roller?" Shiba turned his head and showed everyone a mobile phone that had been crushed into electronic waste, "The mobile phone I just bought." ”
"Don't sell badly, even if you sell badly, the money you bought the phone will have to be repaid." Ueki said expressionlessly.
"This phone can't be the new phone you just bought today." Inukai had an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Yes." The current expression of the four leaves is as uncomfortable as eating stool.
Originally, he wanted to take a picture of the appearance of the "knight" with his mobile phone and judge that it belonged to that kind of weirdness. Who knew that this guy actually smashed the phone directly, and the most important thing is that he didn't get any information!
"Let's go to the place where the sound came from just now and take a look, the two corpses on the ground can't tell what kind of death they died." "If it's just a roller, I should be able to get one out." ”
As he spoke, he was already walking towards the place where the sound had just come from. If he remembered correctly, it was a room in Area C on the second floor, where the hapless Officer Yamabuki died.
"Hey, haven't you thought about it, does the other party have the habit of guarding corpses?" Shiye frowned, "Don't forget, the other side is a powerful ghost, and it's a special form of weirdness." ”
"We're here to kill the curse, not to let the curse die."
After saying that, Ueki walked towards the target area without any hesitation.
Inukai glanced at the four leaves, then at Ueki, and finally followed Ueki without hesitation.
Si Ye has a lot of experience, and he is the most senior on their side, and the probability of encountering danger with him is much smaller. But who made Ueki this guy his best friend, and Ueki was cursed partly because of him, this multiple-choice question is not difficult to do.
Chestnut bowed to the four leaves, and apologized for helping the dog, and then followed.
"So you're alone?" Shiba touched his chin, then turned his head and walked towards another room.
Hoshino Kuri's strength is not bad, there are two spells in Hoshino Inu's hands, although the two of them are newcomers, but they cooperate tacitly. Although Ueki has been retired for a while, he still has experience and a weapon in his hand.
The three of them acted together, and the probability of encountering life-threatening was not high, and this was only the first day.
The geist said that there were five crossbow arrows in this villa, and the remaining three should be in the netherworld, and the first priority was to find them.
"Ueki, you wait a minute." Inukai trotted a few steps and caught up with Inukai in front of him, "Why did you throw off the four leaves?" ”
"Remember that Alpine Police Department?" Ueki's expression was a little gloomy.
"Brother Gao Shan?" Inukai was stunned for a moment, "Remember, is there anything wrong with him?" ”
"He's dangerous!"
"It's just that you can see chestnuts, can't you see chestnuts too?" Inukai frowned and said, "What's so dangerous about this?" ”
"I can't tell you for a while, but you remember for me, this time keep your distance from the people of the Zero Branch, especially before the reinforcements arrive." Ueki said with a dark face.
"Is it a hostile force? According to your descriptions, it takes a long time for the Weird to interfere with reality, and the scope of the interference is very small. "It's been less than a week since the first victim was discovered, and the strange area of influence has covered the entire castle, which should be considered an anomalous situation." So you suspect that someone is doing tricks and feet in it, right? ”
"It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty! Those people are crazy! As Ueki spoke, he stopped.
When you go to Area C, you have to go through a corridor in the shape of "Hui", in the middle of which is the hall on the left side of the castle, which is supposed to be a rest area, but at the moment there is a huge cross erected there.
On top of the cross was a man, and the huge wooden wedge pierced directly through the man's head, making it impossible to identify the person's appearance, but the collar badge on the collar could confirm his identity.
"Shiratori is on the look...... "Ueki gasped, "Is it that big?" ”
Several police departments have died before, and this time another high-ranking police officer has died, and I am afraid that this case will be stabbed to the highest level.
There were several humanoid "stains" lying on the side of the cross, flesh embedded in the carpet.
"Does the cross in the castle mean anything?" Inukai asked, a little confused.
"I don't know, maybe the owner of this castle believes in Catholicism or Christianity." Ueki frowned. Things are getting trickier, and now I can't get out.
"No, that's townstuff." Chestnut said suddenly.
[Blessed Cross: One of the more common types of towns, it has the ability to suppress evil spirits, and it also has a certain suppressive effect on evil spirits.] How to disarm: Find a stand-in. ]
"Towns? Are you sure it's a town thing? Ueki's face was unusually ugly.
He had seen the case of the strange search for a stand-in to get rid of the town, which was suppressed by the town, and if it was said that this was the town, then the white bird police on it was the stand-in.
"With such a heavy cross tied, there must be a lot of footsteps when you walk." Inukai suddenly asked, "You say, is it possible that the knight did it?" ”
"It's not possible, it's certain." Chestnut looked at the puddles of humanoid flesh on the ground and said, "This way of dying is almost exactly the same as the way of dying encountered in the corridor." ”
"The only question now is why this so-called knight didn't choose the two people in the corridor as a substitute sacrifice, and had to choose Shiratori Vigilante as a substitute stand-in." Ueki's eyebrows are deeply locked.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Before the dog could speak, I heard the sound of the nail leaf rubbing upstairs, but the sound was lighter and faster than what I heard before.
