Chapter 3493 Shrine
"It's indeed quite suspicious." Linton also nodded and said.
If it hadn’t attracted Linton’s attention before, the fact that it had closed down in the past two years had attracted Linton’s attention.
Because if this series of events are related to the investigator's predecessor, then it seems that he disappeared probably more than two years ago.
Then after disappearing, the shrine that was related to the case closed down immediately. It can only be said that it was a bit too coincidental.
It happened that many of the serial murder cases were related to this shrine, and then the shrine closed down at this time. Linton didn't believe that there were so many coincidences. This shrine was really quite suspicious.
Of course, if it must be said that the owner of this shrine is, for example, the serial murderer, and then disappeared because he killed someone and ran away or died in an accident, it can be explained.
But Linton was not a police officer. Anyway, he just went over to see if it was okay. He didn't provide any evidence when he was looking for someone.
"Let's go and see the situation." Linton said directly.
Linton planned to go see the situation in person this time, so he and Aizen came to the entrance of the abandoned shrine. As for Asuna, Fubuki Tatsumaki and others, isn't it that Asuna wants to learn how to cook from Fubuki for tomorrow's assessment? There certainly won't be that many people coming.
This shrine is a small shrine that is relatively common in Japan. It is really quite small. There are many small roadside shrines like this in this place. After all, they are said to have eight million gods, right?
The shrine is built on a hillside. To say it is a hillside is an exaggeration, because you can reach the shrine by walking up about a hundred steps from the road to the side.
There are no other buildings around the shrine, and there are woods behind it. There are quite a few buildings around the road down the stairs, probably all private houses.
I have to say that the environment around this shrine is quite good. After walking up the stairs, I felt a sense of tranquility. To be honest, this is Tokyo, and there are not many places with such an environment.
The shrine is a wooden Japanese-style courtyard. The front yard at the front should be a place for people to worship. There is an obvious square money box with a rope on it. According to the worship tradition of the Riben people, a bell should be hung on the rope, and the process of defeating it is to first throw coins into the money box, then ring the bell to worship the god.
But now the bell on it is gone, and the money box is also covered with a wooden board. It is obvious that no money is allowed to be put in.
I mentioned before that this shrine has closed down, and it's obvious that everything around it reflects this fact. This place has obviously been deserted for a long time. Not to mention the building is covered with a layer of dust, even the ground is covered with a layer of dust and a layer of black impurities that should be left behind after the leaves rot.
Behind the money box is probably the main hall, and I don’t know what god it is enshrined in. Linton definitely doesn’t know it anyway. There are two other houses next to it, and Linton estimated that they were probably where the people in this shrine used to live.
Linton closed his eyes and scanned it with a circle. As expected, the entire shrine was as lifeless as he sensed with his breath before coming up.
"Have you found anything?" Linton asked Aizen next to him.
"The composition of spiritual bodies in each world is actually not the same. I also know whether the spiritual bodies in this world are the same as ours." Aizen said.
When Linton asked him, he must be asking if he had found any spiritual bodies. Aizen's job was to be a death god.
Although breath perception and circle can't sweep things, they are the entities being swept after all, what if it is a spirit body. As far as Linton knew, the cracked woman seemed to be a spirit in the legend. It was a ghost-like existence transformed into a girl who had a broken face and then committed suicide. It's just that the reasons for the clown's appearance seem to be the same as the reasons for the clown's appearance. There are thousands of explanations.
But it is a pity that it seems that Aizen has not found anything similar to a spirit body.
This is not very strange, after all, the spirit body in Death is very special. According to the original statement of the God of Death, the basic composition of their spiritual body is the spirit son, which belongs to the soul worldview with its own system.
Linton knows the soul spells of other worlds, such as the world of the Shaman King. It's a pity that my detection ability in this area is really poor to a certain extent. Even if I purchase A-level spiritual power, I am still very bad at detection.
Linton opened the door directly and walked into the main hall. As soon as I opened the door, there was a lot of dust. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.
A normal JING observer would probably not look for anything else after seeing a situation like this. After all, no one has been there at first glance. But Linton may not be looking for someone here, so he doesn't mind this situation.
"Is there anyone there? Or is there a ghost?" Linton asked directly into the room.
At the same time, he also observed the situation in the hall.
As expected, you can see something like an altar in the middle of the temple, which is probably the god enshrined here. But of course Linton didn't know what it was. It was just a small statue with a lot of hands.
This statue is really small, about the size of a basketball, and it even feels a bit funny to place it on this rather large-looking altar. There was a wooden tablet that looked like a tablet lying next to it. There were some words on it, and I didn’t know if they were the name of the god or something like that. Anyway, Linton really didn’t know much about this religious thing.
There was silence in the hall, and no one answered Linton's question.
Linton was not in a hurry and said directly to Aizen next to him: "It seems that there is no one. Let's find an engineering team to blow up this place tomorrow."
Aizen didn't say anything, just nodded.
After the two of them finished speaking here, they turned their heads as if to leave directly. But just as he turned his head, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Linton.
"Sir, do you think I'm pretty?" This was a female voice that sounded quite pleasant, as if just hearing the voice made people feel that the speaker was a beautiful woman.
Linton smiled and turned around. Was he really scared? Of course, if there is really no reaction, Linton is really going to ask Asuna to find an engineering team to bulldoze this area. If there is a problem here, someone or a ghost should come out to interfere. If no one interferes, anyway, Just think of it as a mistake.
However, I didn't expect the ghost here to be so impatient. As soon as Linton finished speaking, he appeared directly.
Theoretically, if a woman suddenly appeared in such a deserted place, even a beautiful woman, it would definitely be quite scary. But Linton had a smile on his face instead, which made the slit woman who was trying to scare him a little confused.
"You're an ugly guy. If you have the guts, chop him here." Linton pointed directly at his head and said.
