Chapter 225 193. "Underground Railway Station ります." (Please order in full)
Since there are blood stains on the rooftop, then according to the case reconstruction, the blood stains should also appear at the bottom of the new school building.
Everyone walked around and found that the blood stain was behind the main entrance of the new school building, so they didn't notice it at all when they first entered.
There was a pool of bright red blood on the ground, reflecting another color in the dusk sunlight.
When everyone's eyes turned to the bloodstain, the surrounding scenery changed instantly. The school was no longer a school, with overlapping red and black tentacles clinging to the ground, walls and every corner.
And near the bloodstain, a corpse appeared there at some point.
Dark red blood flowed from his mouth, but he was a young and handsome man, but his hands and feet were twisted into strange shapes due to the fall.
Everyone saw his mouth opening and closing like a fish struggling desperately.
Soon, this scene disappeared.
There were footsteps behind him, and Li Ming looked back warily. It was Natsume who had gone to the toilet to resolve a menstrual matter before when Captain Luo went to the toilet. When the girl saw the scene in front of her, she instantly turned pale and took a few steps back.
Upon seeing this, Kurosawa immediately went to help the girl, trying to ease the girl's mood.
"That should be...Senior Hisashi Ube..." Natsume's face turned pale and he muttered to himself, "So he also fell from the rooftop...Why did he disappear after a while..."
The girl couldn't understand the supernatural-like phenomenon in front of her, and everyone didn't know how to answer it. They could only try to comfort her emotions as much as possible and tell her that it was just a hallucination.
However, they also got a key clue from the girl's words, that is, the person they just saw was the well-known anchor Ube Hisashi, who was also the sixth deceased mentioned by Saito just now.
While everyone was talking to Natsume, a very noisy crow came from the sky. The crow was so noisy and annoying, as if it was mocking something.
Li Ming squinted his eyes and found that the beaks and sharp claws of the flying crows were stained with bright red blood and some pieces of meat.
This is the most frightening situation at the moment, and it should also be the easiest to get clues, because crows are scavengers, and you should be able to see more by following them. Details of the case.
Li Dang tried to track the crows. The crows in the distance screamed hoarsely a few times. With the sound of wings flapping, they quickly flew away, leaving only some black feathers falling everywhere. .
As if knowing that Li Ming was chasing it, the crows scattered and flew in different directions. With the young man's keen eyesight, he discovered that the general flight direction of the crows seemed to be a garbage dump near Ikebukuro area. .
“Go quickly, I’ll make a big discovery. I have a strange feeling. As long as I follow those crows, the progress of the case will become much easier.”
Li Ming couldn't help but wrap up his coat and arrived at the garbage dump by referring to the navigation on his phone and relying on his sense of direction.
As soon as he arrived there, he heard crows crows one after another, and was surrounded by a stench unique to the garbage dump. Kurosawa and others followed closely, and they noticed that there were piles of garbage in front of them. The garbage heap looks like it has not been taken care of for a long time.
The crows of crows are heard all around. This should be the gathering place for crows in Ikebukuro area.
In a corner of the garbage dump, everyone found bright red blood stains. This horrifying trace was splashed around the garbage pile and flowed to the ground, along the gaps to the depths of the garbage dump. It spread everywhere, but there was no trace of any corpse.
Li Dang slowly walked deeper. The crows in the sky screamed manically again, and the harsh cries of the crows around him became more and more frequent.
Li Ming came to the depths of the garbage dump. The surrounding garbage dumps seemed to have been splashed with red paint, and there were blood stains everywhere.
In a trance, I seemed to see the woman making a shrill scream, and the crows tore off the pieces of her flesh bit by bit until she was completely naked. The crows around me stared at the uninvited guest in front of me with pairs of scarlet eyes. , as if Li Ming in front of him is the next prey.
Li Dang noticed that even though she was in such pain, she was still holding something tightly in her hand. Amidst the woman's painful wails, she could vaguely be heard saying...
"Don't...don't...believe...her..."
The horrific scene passed in an instant, and the stench of the garbage dump came to my face again. The thing that the woman was holding in her hand was now On the side, it seemed to be a ball of paper.
But at this moment, everyone needs to worry more about their own safety.
——Pairs of scarlet eyes all around looked at them, and black figures quickly struck from the sky.
While nimbly avoiding the crow’s claws, Hoshino Katsura didn’t seem to be too sensitive to the stench. She waved her hand to get rid of the crow while searching deeper into the garbage pile, looking for more like a scavenger. Clues to the case.
After most of the people escaped the crow's attack, Li Yan spread out the piece of paper and found a very crude map drawn on it, with a red circle drawn somewhere in the middle. There is a cat icon drawn next to it.
But this map looks as if Picasso was still alive. Several people took turns looking at it, but they couldn't understand the meaning.
At this time, Hoshino Katsura ran from the depths of the garbage dump with small wounds all over her body. She disapprovingly wiped away the slight blood stains left on her body and handed the items in her hand to the leader Li Ming.
It is a mobile phone.
"This is something I found in the garbage dump. It was near the hallucinations just now. I thought it was related to the case, so I went to get it regardless. I hope it will be helpful to the investigation of the case." Hoshino Katsura gritted his teeth and pulled off a strip of fabric from his cuffs and bandaged it for himself.
Li Dang showed a grateful expression, and then carefully looked at the items in his hands.
This is a pure white mobile phone. The names of Yuzu and Natsume are written on the outer shell of the mobile phone with a pen. If nothing else, this should be the possession of the two of them.
The phone was opened without a password. The photo on the desktop was a selfie of three girls in uniforms. Li Dang guessed it was Yuzu, Natsume and Hayami, and the background was a KTV. The three of them were hugging each other and smiling at the camera. Showing the wink movement, at the bottom of the photo is a line of small words——< br>
"My best friends."
In the call records, the first ones were the records of correspondence with Natsume Hayami. When he turned to the most recent records, Li Ming found that there were several deceased people among them. The contact records are Riho Ikeda, Yumi Sanada, Shinya Iijima, and Hisashi Ube.
In the photo album, the young man found the photo of Yuzu being used as a tabletop. The photo was taken on February 8 this year at 7 pm.
Besides this one, there are many photos on February 8th. The scene is in the classroom. It seems that the classmates helped Yuzi organize a birthday party. In the photos, there are photos of Yuzi making wishes and cakes. On the photo, I wish Yuzi a happy seventeenth birthday. Then I met Yuzu and Natsume after school and the three of them made an appointment to go to KTV together.
Among the photos taken in the next few days, one is a black and white missing person notice, and the missing person the missing person notice is looking for...
is Natsume Haru.
The photo was taken shortly after Yuzi’s birthday, February 14th.
As the investigation continued, Natsume's expression looked a little ugly.
"That is...if a person does something without knowing it, and then causes...causing something bad to happen to another person, then the unknowing person... Did you make a mistake?" Natsume asked tentatively. "It's not a mistake." Li Dang thought of some of the legal education videos he had seen on the Internet before, and after thinking about it for a while, he gave the best answer, "Because you did it without knowing it."
"What if... the bad thing is death?"
Natsume bit her lower lip tightly, her voice was extremely small, like a mosquito buzzing.
"That's not your fault." Kurosawa Mika said at this time, "Of course this is not the answer to escape reality..."
Everyone was speechless, not knowing what to do. Continuing the topic, they all wanted to express their opinions, but soon they stopped talking.
After a day of investigation and running around, everyone found that they could not feel hungry or tired, as if they were in a fantasy world, but they would still feel pain if they tried to hurt themselves.
The display screen on the mobile phone read six o'clock in the evening, and the sun set in the west as time went by. It was already dusk, and the sun slowly sank into the horizon, and the sun shone through the gaps between the tall buildings. On the street.
Everyone looked at the setting sun in the distance, thinking about it, but then came a scene that was completely out of everyone's imagination -
The sun stagnated on the horizon for a long time, and the sky burned, and the red light gradually Dissipated, but the red sun climbed up from the horizon again, just like the scene at six o'clock in the morning, a pale pink sun once again climbed to the top of the sky.
Li Dan was surprised to find that the time determined on his mobile phone showed six:01, and the following seconds passed rapidly, and the date jumped back by one digit.
Although they were reluctant to admit it and couldn't believe it, the facts proved that they had ushered in a new day.
Li Dang looked around unnaturally. Passers-by walking on the road were accustomed to these strange scenes. It seemed that such a problem had occurred a long time ago.
There is no way to determine what kind of environment they are in, but the only thing that can be proven is that they are not in reality and should have entered a brand new world, a world with new rules.
The crow of crows was heard not far away. Li Ming came back from his meditation, glanced at the facilities on the map, and found that the subway station was nearby.
As long as you enter the subway station, you will not be attacked by crows.
——Li Ming thought this way.
"Natsume-san, can you take us to the subway station?" Li Ming stretched out his hand to comfort the girl in front of him, squatted down and asked with a smile. Although he was still afraid of the clues on his phone, he still Trying to restrain himself, "You also heard that there are a lot of crows nearby..."
"I understand."
Natsume nodded, and then walked at the front without saying a word .
The harsh cries of crows on the road kept reaching their ears, and they seemed to know that everyone was trying to avoid them through the subway station.
When everyone entered the subway station, as they walked down the steps step by step, the heat from the air conditioner hit their faces, but for some reason, Li Ming, who was in the subway station, felt a chill.
Just as I thought before, after walking into the subway station, I can no longer hear the piercing screams of crows.
Then Li Dang discovered that people were coming and going in the subway station as usual, but in their eyes, the movements of the people around them were very mechanical, like puppets on strings, following the instructions rigidly. At this time Everyone felt the chill, which seemed to be getting a little worse.
After Natsume bought the ticket, he walked to the platform.
Although it was the peak period at this moment, the flow of people around them did not give them any sense of security.
In the black tunnel, beasts made of steel seem to jump out at any moment.
Li Ming, the others, and Natsume stood in front of the platform, with cold floor tiles under their feet, and in front of them were yellow warning lines and ever-parallel tracks.
At this time, black mist continued to pour out from all around, and the mist slowly filled the space around them.
"What's going on? Have we encountered a poison gas terrorist attack?" As expected of the leader of the lively atmosphere, Jiang Wenkan still had a joking tone even at such a critical moment, trying to lighten the entire atmosphere.
Natsume beside him didn't reply, just looked at the tunnel ahead.
"Hey! Natsume-san?"
Li Ming vaguely felt something was wrong. He tried to grab Natsume's hand, and then he felt a coldness in his hand, just like the body of a doll. At the same time, he noticed that Natsume's pair of hands were dim. Blind eyes.
As time passed, the surroundings were completely filled with black mist. When I walked down, the stairs also disappeared into the black mist.
"Natsume will not wake up~! After all, it is just a forgery of mine."
After the voice finished speaking, there was another burst of scary and shrill laughter.
A familiar face emerged from the fog. It was the face with resentment and a strange smile. Li Ming was extremely convinced that it was the Ibi Yuzu he had seen at the intersection before.
"I'm so happy... I just faked Natsume and I was able to get you to take the bait. This is really a wonderful thing in the world."
Yuzu said in a playful and weird tone. While speaking, she expressed the hurt gesture while laughing at the sympathy and pity that everyone had for her before.
"Hehehehe, welcome to Ibi Yuzu's dreamland, outsiders." The face kept twisting and changing in front of them, "Then prepare to welcome your death one by one. ~!”
Yuzi’s voice gradually disappeared into the black mist.
Before he finished speaking, Li Yan found that Yuan Qingyu suddenly disappeared in front of them. The black fog gradually dissipated, and the scene in front of everyone became clear.
Yuan Qingyu, who was in a trance, came back to his senses and found that he was standing in the middle of the subway track at the moment, and with a cold Japanese prompt...
"Underground train, stationに入ります. "
"The subway is about to enter the station."
The tentacles all around the tunnel are very dense. If you want to completely avoid the speeding subway, Yuan Qing Jade has only one way.
