Chapter 21 Please let me go. Please vote ()

 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.

 At the end of the room, I looked to the left and saw 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, she 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 kind, which is between the two.

 —It’s this kind of paper shikigami-like thing.

 Ghost fetuses usually have relatively strong self-awareness and remember some of their past events. They are the most difficult to abduct, but also the most useful.

 As for the leg-scratching style **** in front of me...he doesn't have much consciousness, only his obsession is very strong.

 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 has been borrowed, his other senses are still there.

It felt the aura of the leg-picking god, 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 accidentally tore a little bit when he exerted some force.

It paused, let go, and secretly ironed the wrinkles.

Jiang Xia looked at this scene and sighed inwardly.

 …It really can’t be torn off violently.

 You 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 remembers this case in the exhibition hall.

—The reason was that the owner of the exhibition hall went bankrupt, so he packed up the exhibition hall and sold it to Boss Zhenzhong.

 The boss Zhenzhong is the unlucky uncle who was nailed to the wall in front of Jiang Xia.

—After he died after buying 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 **** exhibition hall wearing a faceless knight's armor.

 He invited Boss Zhenzhong over and then nailed him to the wall.

 …

Jiang Xia looked at the bloodstains all over the hall while recalling the past, 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 were chatting and walking towards the exhibition hall.

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 realized that if you don’t want to hear the screaming duo, it’s better not to 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 under repair just now, but it has been repaired now?"

The two of them looked at the dark exhibition hall curiously. They looked at each other and remembered the purpose of coming today.

 Lately, there was a terrible rumor nearby.

—When late at night, the knight’s armor in this “Middle Ages Exhibition Hall” will come alive and move around along the exhibition hall.

 So they came here with the idea of ​​"visiting a haunted house".

I also brought along a Conan to boost my courage.

 …

 Just, after walking around all afternoon, I never met the "ghost knight".

Now, they have visited the whole museum, but they have not entered the "Hell Exhibition Hall".

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko saw that the "no entry" sign was gone, and Suzuki Sonoko was suddenly moved:

“Come here, let’s go in and take a look. Maybe the 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 force holding him on his hand suddenly disappeared.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko stopped at their feet. 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.

I saw a gloomy figure walking out of the darkness in the dark exhibition hall.

Conan was shocked: "!"

 …But soon, he discovered that the so-called "gloomy" was just an illusion caused by 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?

 …Looks 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." When Mao Lilan saw Jiang Xia, she was disappointed but relieved.

 Disappointed that I didn’t meet a ghost.

 Happily, 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 immediately doubled her joy, greeting the handsome boy in front of her enthusiastically, "You also come to see the moving armor?"

As she spoke, she pointed to the darkness behind Jiang Xia: "Is it in this exhibition hall?"

Although, through various previous attempts, Suzuki Sonoko has basically determined that the difficulty of Jiang Xia's guide is SSS level, which is extremely difficult to obtain.

 But this does not prevent her from liking to look at faces.

For a senior Yangou, as long as Jiang Xia appears in front of her, Suzuki Sonoko's mood will skyrocket like taking hormones.

Moreover, it is very practical to look at it more often and still maintain the high vision when flirting with men...

As Suzuki Sonoko said, she wanted to take Mao Lilan to the exhibition hall to take a look.

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, but 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 Jiangxia himself.

Jiang Xia is wearing a pair of black sneakers today. The uppers are very clean, with only a little fresh dust on the edges.

Suzuki Yuanzi and Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, suspecting that this was a prank by naughty children.

However, at this moment, he saw Jiang Xia looking down at the ground on the opposite side. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he took half a step back.

As soon as he took his foot away, a faint **** 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 carpet-covered 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 to stop 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.

But taking a closer look, he found that Jiang Xia looked good, moved normally, and there were no strange wet marks on the black wristband on her left hand.

 …

However, judging from the fact that Jiangxia walked on the carpet all the way, there was still a little blood mark on the shoes...

 The amount of blood he just stepped on was definitely quite a lot... A life may have been lost here!

 …

Different from 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, Jiang Xia saw the action of wiping "paint" and was stopped by the naughty boy.

They also took out their handkerchiefs and walked over, intending to help Jiang Xia wipe away his footprints.

As I got closer, I realized that the color of the footprints really looked like blood.

The two of them nodded secretly: Well, it is indeed a **** 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 raised her head in shock.

They saw Jiang Xia 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.
