"The sniper who was caught by Araki-kun last night is said to be a retired professional from the Self-Defense Forces. He has strong anti-interrogation skills, and his mental state is already a little abnormal. Lesson 9 has not been able to pry it out of his mouth for the time being. Information."

Since a certain "Reincarnated Venerable" is currently the top secret of the Spirit Eliminator Association, all mission reports involving him must be "selectively" revised by Houhai Ludou before being archived.

"As for those cults' bounties for you on the 'Deep Web', it may be because they made too much noise and the police arrested too many people, and they have been automatically taken down by several proxy killing websites on the 'Deep Web'... …”

"Otherwise, with the structure of those servers, it would take me a long time to break through. 』

"Hey, Zhengchou can't find anyone to ask questions... Whether it's Aum Shinrikyo or the Galactic Alliance Church, even if you let them come to your door, I'll accompany you at any time."

As soon as Houhai Ludou mentioned those cults, Sousuke Araki became angry and clenched his fists.

"Let's just leave things like this in Toyama Park for now... There is new news this morning about the 'emergency' that happened last night."

Houhai Ludou turned on the projector and played another document.

"Last night at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night, in a single apartment in Wako City, Saitama Prefecture, a man named Kazuo Kuroishi died on the corridor outside his house because his eyes burst. During this period, no one was found to enter the house or the apartment building from the outside. Mark of."

"According to the preliminary on-site investigation by the Saitama Prefectural Police Station and the testimony of the enthusiastic neighbor who reported the case next door, the victim should have woken up in his sleep and suddenly ran outside the door... When the neighbor heard the movement and opened the door to check, he was no longer breathing. ."

"However, the witness mentioned that the victim seemed to want to say something through the door before he died, but he couldn't say it because he died in advance..."

Thick Hai Ludou, who was playing the projector and explaining the case, rubbed his stomach with a pale face.

"Well, considering that everyone has just finished eating Bruch like me, in order to protect the health of the stomach, I skipped the **** live photos."

Before, he was accidentally "critically attacked" by the photos of the victim's body, and he has not recovered yet.

"Both eyes exploded and died...isn't it the same as the person from last night?"

Wearing a shrine maiden's costume with a large bag and a small bag beside her, Yumako Toori frowned slightly, as if she hadn't recovered from the news.

"I knew it must be the resentful spirit!"

Sousuke Araki, who was sitting on the side of the little witch and wearing a T-shirt with the words "Ghost Killing Team", took out the sketch of the woman in white drawn last night from the information on the side, and angrily punched him. above.

"Before she continues to 'combine', we quickly find her and 'resonate' off!"

"Crack..."

Under the white paper, several cracks appeared on the thick wooden conference tabletop.

"Just complaining here, that resentful spirit will not be ashamed to take the initiative to show up and become a Buddha... By the way, this table was newly bought last month, and it is worth 50,000 yen."

Hanyu Mai, wearing a white coat and a suit skirt, walked in with long legs wrapped in transparent black silk.

"Ahhahaha, which one is of such poor quality, I'm going to complain on behalf of the company and ask them to exchange..."

"It's okay, anyway, you still owe me a lot of money, just put it on the account."

"Han, Hanyu-san..."

After making Araki Sousuke lie on the table with tears in her eyes, she simply looked at the thick sea Ludou next to her, and went straight to the topic: "The slack hacker Ludou, what happened to the information you asked you to check last night? "

"Let me see, the progress bar is almost ready... Wait, who is slack?!"

"Jimi~ Dear Master Atsumi, the 'secret mission' you arranged for Airi has been completed, remember to reward others with ponpons, nya~"

Before Hou Hai Lu Dou could react, a soft and cute girl's voice with shameful lines came from his laptop and resounded throughout the audience.

"Ahahahaha, I'm just testing the AI ​​voice function of the crawler with Airi-chan's voice pack. It's definitely not my strange hobby!"

Feeling the burning and distrustful gazes of everyone, Hou Hai Lu Dou pretended to be serious and changed the subject: "Look! We found a lot of useful information about the resentful spirit that was arranged last night..."

"Comprehensive [beep...] this rare and subtle name, 'you will die when you know the name', 'eyeballs explode' and other dozens of keywords I speculate, combined with the characteristics of the white-robed female ghost drawn by Araki-kun , the network information with a correlation degree higher than 80% is as follows..."

"First of all, regarding the name [Beep...] that Su Shengliang said before his death, the Police Department's household registration file and the Internet did not find any matching information. Instead, there are a lot of invalid information on many adult websites..."

"In the first-priority 2CH forum, as well as other online forums, I have not been able to find relevant discussion posts for the time being..."

"However, in the discussion posts of other urban legend websites, a fragmentary rumor was collected."

"Legend, there is a name that is taboo because its owner does not want to be known by the world. Everyone who knows this name will encounter terrible things... As for what this name is and what will happen to it, I don't know. People know...because everyone who knows is already dead."

Pieces of information, with the operation of Hou Hai Lu Dou, were synchronized to the projection screen in the conference room.

"There is very little effective information on the Internet, but there are 'unexpected gains' in the case files shared by the information team of Lesson 9... The classified statistics show that since the month after the Obon Festival, the eyeball has been ruptured due to non-external forces. , The total number of deaths from excessive blood loss has reached 35."

"A common feature of these cases is that the autopsy results showed that the real cause of death of the victims was cardiac paralysis caused by excessive blood loss, including the recent victims Kazuo Kuroishi and Li Shengliang ... Incidentally, in Bon Before the festival, there was no similar case record~lightnovelpub.net~ There were so many strange cases, did the Metropolitan Police not pay attention to it?"

Recalling the powerlessness of watching the man struggling in front of him yesterday, Sousuke Araki frowned.

"Hey, the Metropolitan Police Department will not waste computing resources and use my big data model to conduct statistical analysis on all cases at any time..."

Hou Hai Lu Dou scratched his head helplessly, and continued to sort out the case information: "Moreover, these cases seem to be very similar, but that's because what you see is the result of statistical sorting, resulting in cognitive bias... …”

"The truth is that the victims of these cases have no obvious common characteristics or connections in terms of age, occupation, gender, geography and relationships."

"The time distribution of the cases is scattered, the locations include all over Japan, and the local police stations that accept them are also different. The highest record is that two similar cases occurred in different locations in Japan on the same day."

"If it weren't for these specific 'keywords' and screening conditions, I wouldn't be able to grab these cases from the police station's massive case database and link them to what happened yesterday."
