Chapter 1659 A glimmer of hope (the cat’s belly will become rounder if it eats too much)
【September 7, Saturday, 12:24 pm】
The north wind blows and the white snow falls.
Everyone sat together in silence, saying nothing.
After noticing it was snowing, everyone found that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot. The problem is that technically it is summer now, so everyone is wearing very thin clothes, and it is obvious that they cannot withstand such a low temperature environment. Fortunately, the study on the first floor remained in its original state, and there was a fireplace in it, so everyone came to the study and lit the fireplace, which made them feel a little better.
Others also took quilts and other things and wrapped them around themselves to keep warm.
"Damn, what are we going to do?"
Composer Maekura finally broke the silence impatiently.
"Can we only be trapped and die here?"
Then, he turned to look at the Dashan Police Department.
"Da Shan, you are a policeman, right? Shouldn't you be the one taking action at this time? Are you considered a policeman like this?"
"Even if you say so..."
Faced with the accusation from composer Maekura, the Dashan Police Department also spread its hands in silence.
"Miss Duanmu didn't even move. I can't do anything. Maybe she will have a good idea."
"She?"
Looking at Duanmuhuai, who seemed to be asleep, sitting at the coffee table, the composer Maekura frowned, but when he saw the sword Duanmuhuai put beside him, he... shut up decisively and behaved. Sit down.
"Mr. Dashan, do you know Xiao Ai?"
Seeing this, Yana asked curiously. After all, generally speaking, everyone should obey the police's orders at this time. But Dashan, as a member of the police force, actually obeyed Duanmu Huai and acted as if he would do whatever he said, which really made everyone curious.
"This..."
The Dashan Police Department smiled bitterly, looked at Duanmu Huai, and saw that the latter still had his eyes closed, so he spoke.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Miss Duanmu has helped our police solve several cases."
"Huh?"
I have to say that the Dashan Police Department’s words really surprised everyone.
Duanmu Huai is quite professional when it comes to transforming into a psychotic murderer in the movie. What people didn't expect is that she can actually solve crimes?
"Hahaha, it's very strange. In fact, our Metropolitan Police also said privately that Miss Duanmu played the character of a murderer so much that he looked more like a murderer than a real murderer. Maybe she also has a few of them. As for human life... Of course, that's just talk. In fact, Miss Duanmu is quite accomplished in solving crimes. Do you still remember the serial murder of the girl a few years ago? "
"Ah, I know that."
Yanami nodded, and Chitanda also showed a frightened expression.
"I remember that at that time, my family always wanted me to go home after school, and even sent a car to take me there..."
The serial murder case of a girl mentioned by the Dashan Police Department was a case that occurred in a small town. The case itself was very simple. The girl disappeared when she came home from school. A few days later, her body was found abandoned at an uninhabited construction site or park. The murderer usually commits one crime every half a month or a month, which is shockingly stable and caused panic in the society at that time. The police tried many methods but failed to solve the case, and they also came under pressure from public opinion.
Then one day it was suddenly announced that the murderer had been caught, and the method used by the other party was actually very simple, because the murderer himself was an auxiliary police officer. He used this status to easily approach the students, and then used various excuses to invite them into the car, and then He said he would send them home. In fact, he gave them drinks mixed with sleeping pills, then took the victims to his secret base to kill them and then dumped their bodies.
Since he is a police officer himself and is very familiar with the police's search progress, the police can't catch anyone no matter what.
"Actually, the murderer was caught by Miss Duanmu."
"Huh?"
"She pretended to be an ordinary female student, and then caught the murderer. He was transported back to the secret residence and subdued. Then she called us to call the police. When we rushed over, the murderer had already been tied up and hung by Miss Duanmu. On the ceiling, because the blood stains and belongings of the victim were quickly found there, so he was arrested..."
"It's just that your police are too slow in handling the case."
Duanmu Huai opened his eyes at this time and complained.
"I was filming a movie there at the time, and the progress of the movie was delayed because of this nonsense. It's useless to look at you police, so I might as well take the blame myself."
"Xiao, Xiaoai, classmate, this is too dangerous."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's complaint, Teacher Gan Xia turned pale.
"What if something happens? Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. What can that guy do to me? Besides, with my appearance, the other party won't think that I am the kind of person who has the ability to resist."
"That's true..."
After all, Duanmu Huai looks like the pitiful Lin Daiyu who is easily knocked down by the wind. Anyone who looks at her will think that she is the kind of person who has a clear voice and a soft body that is easy to knock over.
The result was bigger than anyone else's.
"Forget it, if you don't talk about these useless things, the police will stop looking for me in the future. I am an actor, not a detective. If you look for me to solve the case, you will not pay me, and you will waste my time and brain cells. This is not a waste of money. ?”
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he glanced at the Dashan Police Department unhappily. The latter chuckled, scratched his head, and said nothing more. However, Duanmu Huai was too lazy to discuss this aspect with him and waved his hand.
"Actually, I already have an idea on how to solve our current situation."
"Really?"
Sure enough, after hearing this, everyone became energetic.
"Well, the conclusion is actually very simple. We just need to eliminate all these strange rumors and then we can go back."
Duanmu Huai said this for no reason. He just closed his eyes and meditated there. He was not really sleeping, but was amplifying his senses, trying to figure out where this place was. But Duanmu Huai soon discovered that the smell here was not quite right, and there was even a smell that he was familiar with.
Well, it smells like subspace.
As a judge, Duanmu Huai has rich experience and has never seen any scene before. After confirming this, Duanmu Huai understood what was going on. Where they are now should be in the gap between reality and subspace.
For example, the real world is floating on the sea, while subspace is the deep sea. The space where Duanmu Huai and the others were located was originally in the real world. But after they told those strange stories, the energy of the subspace was attracted for some reason, making the space centered on this house "heavier" and gradually sank into the sea.
So to put it simply, they are actually in a half-sunken ship now, and it is estimated that only the mast is still exposed above the water.
So the question is, how to make the boat float? Naturally, the ballast must be discarded—and by putting it here, it will eliminate all those weird rumors.
In this way, without the "ballast" of strange stories, this space can return to the real world.
It's just... I didn't expect that I could unexpectedly learn news about subspace here.
Duanmu Huai was also a little confused about this. He had tried the rumor about Ruyue Station before, but it turned out that it was useless to stay up late and take the last train several times. Duanmu Huai thought it was his calculation error.
But now it seems... Sure enough, there is subspace in this world!
In this way, puberty syndrome can also be explained!
If there was no one else here, Duanmu Huai really wanted to go out and kill everyone, but unfortunately... there were so many dragsters around him.
It sucks to have to take them with me.
But no matter what, what needs to be done must be done.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Eradicate the ghost stories? What should we do?"
"It's simple."
Looking at the crowd, Duanmu Huai smiled softly.
"Use yourself as bait."
"???"
"Based on the previous encounters, we can deduce this pattern, that is, the ghost story will first find the person telling the ghost story. If there are other people nearby, they will also be involved."
Having said this, Duanmu Huai pointed at the hot girl Uedian.
"For example, Miss Ueda told the story about the black-haired female ghost who hanged people, so the black-haired female ghost went to her immediately. If the Dashan Police Department had not stepped forward to stop her at that time, then the black-haired female ghost might have hanged Miss Ueda. Only then did he attack others. It was the same time as Nanami. If everyone hadn't eaten together, then the curse might have only come to Nanami, and all of us would have been there..."
"This..."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's explanation, a group of people looked at each other. Originally, the reason why they got together was because everyone had seen horror movies and knew who would be left alone and who would die. Even the bad-tempered composer Maekura , I just lost my temper and complained a few words, but I didn't dare to slam the door and leave.
Everyone knows that this kind of character usually doesn't survive twenty minutes in a horror movie.
But what they didn't expect was that just because they gathered together, everyone was unlucky?
Is this okay?
In other words, people like Chitanda, Nanami, the Oyama Police Department and producer Kuwata, who say that monsters are harmless to humans and animals, can go back to their rooms and sleep by themselves. Anyway, even if monsters come to them, there is no danger at all.
But others are different...
"From now on, I will accompany you one by one to walk around the Snow Pavilion and look for the missing old Mr. Ueno."
"Huh?!"
I have to say that everyone was shocked when they heard Duanmuhuai's decision. Although it is indeed important to find the missing Mr. Ueno, no one has the intention to look for him. The reason is very simple. In the current environment, a normal person can imagine a lot of the kind of haunted house horror movies that he has watched. In this kind of movie, to be honest, it is not safe for two people to be together, because you can’t guarantee whether the other person will. It will be an evil spirit in disguise.
But if a group of people are together, at least they can be brave!
And what Duanmu Huai is doing now is almost like he is actively triggering a haunting incident - well, it seems that he is indeed going to do this.
But the problem is...
"What should we do?"
Professor Sato also asked uneasily at this moment. After all, Duanmu Huai's fighting prowess just now made everyone regard him as their backbone. Just because Duanmu Huai was here, they were not afraid. After all, even if another ghost comes again, Duanmu Huai can kill it with that knife.
But if he leaves...won't he and others become lambs to be slaughtered?
"You don't have to worry."
Duanmu Huai naturally knew what they were worried about, so he comforted them. Then he pulled out the bright red blade and stabbed the ground hard!
"Click."
The bright red blade pierced straight into the floor. At the same time, everyone felt a warm bloody breath coming towards them, making them all tremble.
"As long as you don't leave this room, you are safe. Remember, you cannot leave under any circumstances."
Duanmu Huai looked at them and gave instructions like Sun Wukong drawing a circle for his master. Then he glanced at everyone.
Then start from…………
"Mr. Maekura, let's start with you."
"Huh? Me? Do you really want me...?"
"What? Do you want to stay here forever?"
"Of course not... Oh, okay."
Maekura thought about it, sighed dejectedly, stood up as if resigned to his fate, and followed Duanmu Huai out of the study. The others watched blankly as they left and closed the study door. Only then did Chitanda get a sudden shock.
"Wait a minute, classmate Xiao Ai doesn't have a knife, so how is she going to deal with those weird stories?!"
“…………………!?”
At this moment, everyone came back to their senses.
How could you forget this?
