“I can perform a soul-summoning ritual in front of the deceased’s body. If the murderer is a bit stupid, I can know what he looks like directly. That’s where I need your help, police officer.”
The udon noodles that the Onmyoji girl ordered were served at this time, and she started eating them with gusto after she finished speaking.
"The body is in the hospital morgue right now. Getting in isn't difficult for me, and the surveillance problem can be solved by that hacker. But bringing someone along is a bit of a challenge..."
Wu Dou looked troubled and scratched his head in distress.
"It's alright, you just need to open the morgue door, and I can go in."
"Wow, that's amazing... I feel like I'm the most useless teacher among you all..."
Brother Shuai had a miserable look on his face when he suddenly realized that he was the most useless person among everyone present.
What's the point of the system assigning me this teacher role? Aside from connecting me with that hacker, it seems completely useless...
When Brother Shuai glanced back at the seats where the three people who had just been eating the deluxe set meal had been, he found that they had already left.
I have a feeling... I've seen them before...
"Hey, if you don't eat your noodles soon, they'll get too bloated!"
"Oh, here we come."
--------
"Hey, are we starting tonight? Aren't we waiting until tomorrow morning?"
"Time waits for no one, and besides, there are so many of us together. Even if that serial killer comes, we won't be afraid."
"Uh... okay."
"Go to the hospital first; it's easier to summon the spirit at night."
The little girl's whimpering directly determined their next destination.
.......
Hospital
"I'm going to open the door, what about you?"
"Don't worry about me, just go and drive."
Wu straightened his back, strode towards the morgue entrance, showed his identification, and walked in confidently.
Where is she?
Wu Dou looked around at the cold cabinets, and the thought of them being full of corpses suddenly gave him goosebumps.
"Hurry up, take those bodies out."
What the hell!
The sudden sound in his ear almost made Wu Dou jump.
"When did you get behind me? You scared me to death."
"A grown man like you is so cowardly. I look down on you."
I was actually looked down upon by a little kid...
With a complicated expression, Wu Dou opened the cupboard and took out the peaceful corpse.
I'm a little scared...
"Alright, just stand aside and watch. Remember, no matter what you see or hear, don't say anything."
Yingying gave Wu Dou a serious warning, then took out one strange prop after another from her schoolbag and set them up.
Chapter 295 Clown Statue
(Honkai Impact 3's Dirac Sea is so hard! I finally beat the Great Fox at the Pain level after a lot of effort, its damage is terrifying.......)
----------
After preparing for the soul-summoning ceremony, Yingyingying began the ritual.
Wu Dou huddled by the door, trembling alone.
It was already very cold here, and after the soul-summoning ceremony began, a chilling wind started to blow in this eerie place, forcing Wu Doudou to tighten his clothes.
"Gibberish, gibberish..."
She whimpered and chanted incantations that Wu Dou couldn't understand, and occasionally made some strange movements.
The girl is summoning——
As the ceremony progressed, the temperature dropped lower and lower, and the atmosphere became increasingly eerie.
How much longer...? Seriously, with all that noise, didn't the people outside hear a thing?
Wu Dou, who had memorized Yingying's words, dared not speak at all. Having watched so many movies, he would never make such a basic mistake.
The next second, Wu Dou was almost startled and cried out—
Because the eyes of the two corpses, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened!
"The soul is back!"
Two talismans were stuck to the heads of the two corpses, and then the corpses sat up abruptly.
"What did the people who killed you look like?"
"Tall and slender, wearing a white suit, white trousers, a white top hat, a black tie, and a white clown mask."
"Tall and muscular, wearing a black suit, black trousers, a black top hat, a white tie, and a black clown mask."
Is this the Black and White Impermanence duo coming together...?
Wu Dou silently complained to himself, then shrank his body into the corner.
Yingying frowned. Was this a group of brothers teaming up to kill someone? Or was it just a disguise?
How did you die?
After uttering the question in a soft, whimpering voice, she began to quietly form hand seals with both hands.
This question could upset the deceased, so be prepared in advance.
"...his throat was slit by a playing card he threw."
"...He was behind me, and as I turned around, he slit my throat with a playing card."
The two deceased gazed at each other silently for a while, whimpering softly, before slowly speaking.
"Describe in detail the scene of your murder."
She asked the second deceased person, sobbing.
"I was walking down the street when I turned around and saw a dark figure getting closer and closer. When I checked my phone, the figure disappeared. Then when I turned my head again... I... I..."
As the corpse spoke, it kept repeating the word "I," its stiff body trembling uncontrollably.
I'm provoked, I can't ask anymore...
"Go away, go away!"
The two talismans turned to black ash, and the two corpses, having lost their support, swayed and fell to the ground.
"Alright, we've asked everything we needed to ask. Let's pack up and go."
"oh oh......."
--------
"Well, since it's so late, it's the time when the killer is likely to appear. Why don't we walk together? Which person's house is bigger?"
Brother Shuai checked the time and realized it was already very late, which was also the time when the murderer would commit his crimes, so he decided to let everyone leave together.
"That's enough for tonight. I still have some equipment at home. Let's go out together to find the killer tomorrow night."
Rosen thought about it and agreed to the plan.
"Let's go to my detective agency. We can buy some clothes on the way."
The blind student lit a cigarette and said casually.
"Okay, by the way, there's likely more than one killer, so be careful."
"Stop, let's not talk about this here."
Just as I finished reminding them, the blind student reminded me not to discuss it here.
"Let's go to the supermarket next door and buy some snacks."
"Do you have money?"
"...At least we still have enough money to buy beer..."
After buying his things, Wu Dou carried three bottles of beer in a plastic bag and followed the others.
After crossing another street, they entered a quiet park.
The streetlights in the park were probably old and in disrepair; only one streetlight was still emitting a dim light, and it would even flicker on and off from time to time.
"Wow, the streetlights, combined with the eerie shadows of the trees behind them and the clown statue under the streetlights, really create a horror movie atmosphere here."
Brother Shuai looked around, some of them shouting excitedly.
But upon hearing Brother Shuai's words, the blind man immediately stopped, drew a short sword from his robes, and roared:
"alert!"
"Huh? What happened?"
Brother Shuai looked around blankly as everyone took out their weapons and assumed a fighting stance.
"Never mind that, get your weapons ready."
Wu Dou pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the clown statue that was faintly visible under the streetlight.
Have you ever seen a story like this while browsing QQ Space?
The blind student stepped back to the side of the crowd and slowly lit a cigarette.
"Many years ago, a father and mother wanted to take a vacation, so they decided to go to town for the evening. They called their most trusted babysitter to look after their children. When the babysitter arrived, their two children were already asleep in bed. So the babysitter just checked to see if the children were sleeping well and then sat down."
"Late at night, the nanny was bored and wanted to go downstairs to watch TV. But she couldn't because there was no TV downstairs. So she called the child's parents and asked if she could watch TV in their bedroom, and of course the child's parents agreed."
"But the nanny had one last request. She asked if she could cover the clown statue with a blanket or clothes because it frightened her."
There was a moment of silence on the phone. The father whispered, "Take the child and leave quickly. We've already notified the police."
"There's no clown statue in our room at all!"
"If you don't share this story within 10 seconds, this clown will appear on your bedside table. Now you understand! There has never been a clown statue on this road, am I right? It's the murderer who just finished committing the crime and is cleaning up his mess."
Upon hearing the blind student's words, the others turned their attention to the feet of the clown statue.
A dark shadowy figure with human-like features lay at the clown's feet.
The bright red liquid slowly flowed into the light of the streetlights, making it visible to everyone.
"Is this... running into the boss on the way out? This is too much of a coincidence!"
Chapter 296 The Clown
"Oh, my friend~, this is no coincidence, it must be the guidance of fate that brought us together here."
The clown in his red suit was revealed under the lights; his magnetic voice was exceptionally pleasant to listen to, sounding...
He's gay and has a gay vibe.
His height and build were neither too tall nor too short, neither too fat nor too thin; one could say he was very well-proportioned.
A red suit, red trousers, a red top hat, a yellow tie, and a red clown mask.
Under the light, the blind student could clearly see that one of the clown's eyes was closed.
A one-eyed man? Or is he deliberately disguising himself?
