Borrowing the ghost's eyesight is equivalent to having night vision.
Jiang Xia walked into the dark exhibition hall, passed through a group of strangely shaped sculptures, and walked towards the deepest part.
The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger.
When you reach the end of the room, look to your left and see a huge oil painting hanging on the wall. In the painting, a demon was nailed to a cliff by a knight with a sword.
Looking to the right, there is a fat middle-aged man hanging on the wall. He was nailed to the wall in a "devil's style". Blood was spattered all over the wall. The blood flowed down the wall and had gathered at the root of the wall. There was a pool of blood.
Jiang Xia glanced at the middle-aged man's body and quickly settled on his calf.
There is a fresh soul waiting there. It's about the size of a palm, like a shikigami cut out of a piece of white paper.
Jiang Xia had just seen a similar one in the morning. Unexpectedly, he went out for a walk in the afternoon and saw another one right after.
…
In the classification of psychics, when a person dies, some souls will dissipate directly, and some with extraordinary talents can become ghost fetuses.
There is another one, somewhere in between.
——It’s like this paper shikigami thing.
Ghost fetuses usually have a relatively strong self-awareness and remember some of their past events. They are the most difficult to abduct, but also the most useful.
And this kind of leg-picking spirit in front of me... I don't have much consciousness, only obsession.
Most of them act on instinct.
After being generated, some will grab their own bodies nearby, while others will float towards the murderer and grab the murderer's legs.
Although the ghost baby's eyesight was borrowed, his other senses were still there.
It felt the breath of the leg-picking shikigami, and couldn't help but move forward, stretched out its little hand, and wanted to pull it off and bring it to Jiang Xia.
…
Jiang Xia stood a few steps away and watched.
I saw the leg-striking god. Although he was shivering because of the ghost baby's approach, he still hugged him tightly.
The ghost baby exerted some force and accidentally tore it a little.
It paused, let go of its hand, and secretly ironed the wrinkled areas.
Jiang Xia looked at this scene and sighed inwardly.
...Sure enough, it cannot be torn off violently.
We still have to go through the process, send the murderer away first, let the soul get rid of its obsession and fall off the murderer's lap.
…
As a "prophet", Jiang Xia certainly remembered this case in the exhibition hall.
——The reason was that the owner of the exhibition hall went bankrupt, so he packaged the exhibition hall and sold it to Boss Zhenzhong.
And Boss Zhenzhong is the unlucky uncle who was nailed to the wall in front of Jiang Xia.
——After he bought the exhibition hall, he felt that art was just scrap metal and wanted to convert the exhibition hall into a hotel.
Director Ochiai, who is responsible for managing this exhibition hall, has worked here for decades. After he learned about the situation, he was extremely angry and had murderous intentions towards his new boss.
So this afternoon, Director Ochiai was waiting in this hell exhibition hall wearing a faceless knight's armor.
He invited Boss Manaka over and then nailed him to the wall.
…
While Jiang Xia recalled the previous incident, he looked at the bloodstains all over the hall and felt that this case was not difficult to solve.
Of course, the first step is to call the police.
Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone and was about to press 110.
But suddenly I heard some movement in the corridor.
——Several people walked towards this exhibition hall while chatting.
Jiang Xia listened carefully and found that the voice was quite familiar - it actually sounded like two of his classmates, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.
"..." Jiang Xia paused for a moment while pressing the phone, and silently glanced at the terrifying corpse next to him and the sword on the corpse.
Then I realized that if I didn't want to hear the screaming duo, I'd better not let them in...
…
the other side.
In the corridor outside the Hell Exhibition Hall.
Mao Lilan stopped hesitantly.
She looked at the passage leading to the "Hell Exhibition Hall" and tilted her head in confusion: "I remember just now, there was a 'no entry' sign here?"
Suzuki Sonoko came next to her and thought for a moment in a formal manner: "Maybe the exhibit was being repaired just now, but it has been repaired now?"
The two looked at the dark exhibition hall curiously, looked at each other, and remembered the purpose of coming today.
Recently, there was a terrible rumor in the neighborhood.
——When late at night, the knight's armor in this "Middle Ages Exhibition Hall" will come to life and move around along the exhibition hall.
So they came here with the idea of "visiting the haunted house".
I also brought along a Conan to boost my courage.
…
However, after walking around all afternoon, I never encountered the "Ghost Knight".
Now, they have visited the entire museum, but they have not yet entered the "Hell Exhibition Hall".
At this time, seeing the "no entry" sign missing, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt excited:
"Come here, let's go in and take a look. Maybe that mysterious armor is hidden in this exhibition hall!"
At their feet, Conan said with a pair of dead eyes, "Forget it, we've been shopping for a long time, aren't you tired?"
His weak protests were completely ignored.
The two girls looked at each other, nodded to each other, emboldened themselves, and dragged him into the exhibition hall.
Conan sighed sadly and struggled to stand upright.
However, at this moment, the strength holding him in his hand suddenly disappeared.
——Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko stopped. Not only did they not move forward, they actually took a step back, tending to huddle together and tremble.
Conan was startled, raised his head alertly, and looked ahead.
In the dim exhibition hall, a gloomy figure was seen walking out of the darkness step by step.
Conan was shocked: "!"
...But soon, he discovered that the so-called "gloomy" was just an illusion caused by the dim light.
In fact, the man who came out of the exhibition hall walked well, his posture and pace were normal, and he even looked familiar.
Conan: "..." Huh?
……look familiar?
…
Jiang Xia walked out of the exhibition hall in the darkness, leaned against the door, and looked at Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were shivering and hugging each other, a little confused: "...Are you cold?"
"No, no." Mao Lilan saw Jiang Xia, disappointed and relieved.
Disappointed that I didn't encounter a ghost.
Fortunately... well, I didn't encounter any ghosts.
Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko's mental journey was completely different from hers.
"Jiang Xia?" She skipped the disappointment stage and doubled her joy. She greeted the handsome boy in front of her enthusiastically, "You want to see the moving armor too?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the darkness behind Jiang Xia: "Is it in this exhibition hall?"
Although, after various previous attempts, Suzuki Sonoko basically determined that the difficulty of Jiang Xia's guide was SSS level, which was extremely difficult to obtain.
But that doesn't stop her from liking looking at faces.
For a senior Yango, as long as Jiang Xia appears in front of her, Suzuki Sonoko's mood will skyrocket like taking hormones.
And if you look more often, you can still maintain your high vision when flirting with men, which is very practical...
As Suzuki Sonoko said, she wanted to take Mao Lilan to the exhibition hall.
Just because Jiang Xia is here, the courage-building effect will definitely be much better than that of Conan.
…
However, the two girls took just one step and were blocked by Conan in front of their legs.
The two of them lowered their heads in confusion and found that the child's eyes were a little complicated.
Conan looked at Jiang Xia with a solemn expression: "...Why is there blood on your shoes?"
The others were startled and all looked down at Jiang Xia's shoes.
Including Jiang Xia himself.
Jiang Xia was wearing a pair of black sneakers today. The uppers were very clean, with only a little fresh dirt on the edges.
Lingmu Yuanzi and Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, suspecting that this was a prank by naughty children.
However, at this time, he saw Jiang Xia looking down at the ground on the opposite side, and suddenly took half a step back as if he remembered something.
As soon as he took his foot away, a faint bloody shoe mark was left where he had just stepped.
"Ah." Jiang Xia was a little embarrassed. He simply took a step back and returned to the carpeted exhibition hall. He said slightly apologetically, "I didn't pay attention. I stepped on it."
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and squatted down, as if he wanted to wipe away the blood marks on the ground.
Conan: "..."
He rushed over and stopped Jiang Xia, stopping what looked like "destroying evidence":
"Where did this blood come from?!"
Conan is very observant and short.
As soon as Jiang Xia came closer, he noticed that the color of the carpet that Jiang Xia had stepped on was subtly different.
After confirming that it was blood, Conan initially suspected that his neighbor was hiding and cutting himself again because he had seen similar things before.
However, upon closer inspection, he found that Jiang Xia looked good, moved normally, and there were no strange wet marks on the black wristband on his left hand.
…
However, judging from the fact that Jiang Xia walked all the way on the carpet, there was still a little blood mark on her shoes...
The amount of blood he just stepped on was definitely a lot... A life may have been lost here!
…
Unlike Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko are not that observant. It is a blessing in disguise that they are not nervous.
They just thought that Jiang Xia accidentally stepped on the red paint left by the staff - after all, this exhibition hall had a "no entry" sign before and was suspected to be under maintenance.
At this time, when Jiang Xia wiped the "paint", she was stopped by the naughty boy.
They also took out their handkerchiefs and approached, intending to help Jiang Xia wipe away his footprints.
As I got closer, I realized that the color of the footprints did indeed look like blood.
The two of them nodded secretly: Well, it is indeed a hell exhibition hall, the paints used are so unique...
Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously while wiping: "What did you step on? Paint? Paint?"
Jiang Xia apologized: "A pool of blood."
"Oh, blood..." Suzuki Sonoko paused, and the volume suddenly increased, "A pool of blood?!!"
She looked up in shock.
Jiang Xia was seen squatting on the edge of the scarlet carpet. While watching her mop the floor, she raised her hand and pointed into the exhibition hall: "Someone died and was nailed to the wall. You..."
Jiang Xia just wanted to say, "You'd better not go in, it's a bit scary."
Before he finished speaking, Conan rushed past him into the exhibition hall.
At the same time, Conan pressed on his wrist and turned on the flashlight attached to the universal watch.
——The first batch of equipment that the doctor made for him has arrived.
