"Judging from the breath, the blood in the carriage really belongs to humans."

Higashino Yukihira, who was returning from the car in front, twitched his nose and nodded.

"Moreover, the time span of blood stains in different carriages differs by decades."

For the Asamet blood clan, the seemingly insignificant smell of blood is like a lot of "organic food traceability labels" such as "time, gender, race, bleeding site, eating habits, body position" and so on. Clearly identifiable.

"Could it be that this strange train was born from a collection of 'accident train carriages'?"

The information in front of him was quickly integrated in his mind. Before the second, cold sweat broke out on Ryoma's forehead: "With the high train accident rate in Japan, it will only waste our time to confirm the origin of all the carriages one by one."

Since Emperor Meiji personally presided over the opening of the "Tokyo-Yokohama" railway in 1872, while Japan's economy and railway transportation have developed rapidly, it has also opened a **** "chronicle of railway casualties".

According to recorded data alone, from 1874 to 2015, nearly 80 large-scale train accidents occurred in Japan, directly causing about 3,000 deaths.

In 1947, three ordinary trains down the Bakao Line were overspeeding, causing the four carriages at the rear to derail and overturn, resulting in 184 deaths and 495 injuries.

In 1963, 2365 freight trains on the Yokosuka Line derailed 3 carriages and collided with 2113S passenger cars, resulting in 161 deaths and 120 injuries...

Just the two trips that Niya just casually recited is a famous existence in the history of railway accidents in Japan.

"I care more about what's going on on the roof than the origin of this train."

Standing in the "outdoor space" at the connection between the last two carriages, Higashino Yukihira subconsciously looked above his head.

"Crack...knock..."

Since entering the carriage, those people in black robes, without any disdain, have been sitting or standing in the carriage in an orderly manner, bowing their heads reverently and reciting something silently.

"Crack...Crack...Crack..."

On the top of the train, the bites of swallowing flesh and the whistling wind were intertwined in layers, becoming heavier and more restless, and tended to make people tinnitus.

"I'll go and see..."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Higashino Yukihira grabbed the edge of the carriage with one hand and ran up to the roof like a ghost...

"It turns out that this scroll is actually 'devouring' the sacrifice by this strange gust of wind."

Leaning on the roof of the car cautiously, but in an instant, he had a panoramic view of the scene of the flesh and blood flying above the car roof and disappearing on the scroll.

"The painting on it is a hundred ghosts?"

On the picture scroll, pictures of terrifying, ugly and brutal ghosts came into view clearly in the darkness.

"Zheng."

Higashino Yukihira cut his wrist with his fingernails, sprayed a blood-red sword light, and slashed **** the picture scroll on the roof of the car.

In the face of his slashing knife, the seemingly fragile picture scroll and the car roof that was firmly attached below were all unscathed.

"It turns out that this scroll, like this train, is also a grudge!"

Looking back at the direction from which he came, and noticing the picture scrolls that were spread along the track into the endless darkness, which seemed to be inexhaustible, Higashino Yukihira's face became a little ugly.

"The Scroll of Hundred Ghosts is not as simple as a grudge. It is a rare work of art that is worth appreciating carefully."

Just as he was lying on the roof of the car, silently checking the contents of the picture scroll, a Japanese with a European accent suddenly sounded beside his ears.

"Shado?"

Looking around at the empty side, Yukio Higashino asked calmly, "When did you follow me?"

The owner of this voice was naturally Chardonald, the savior who called himself the "Observer", whom he was all too familiar with.

Only this man with a mysterious origin and unknown age can approach an Asamet bloodline without revealing the slightest breath.

"Don't get me wrong, I came here with another observation object, and I happened to see you here, just to say hello..."

Chardonald didn't show his figure, and the messy voice in the wind couldn't make people judge his position.

"However, unfortunately, I had to leave as soon as we met... Because, the clues about the 'that thing' that Miss Baishui needs seem to be coming to the surface in another place."

But what the other party said next made Higashino Kohei overjoyed: "That's great, where is that thing, I'll go get it with you!"

"No, no, the clues over there are still under 'observation'. If you follow Dongye-kun rashly and startle the snake, it will be troublesome."

Just listening to Chardonald's refusal, Higashino Yukihira could make up for the helplessness of the other party's hands and heads.

"But……"

After getting along for a few months, he naturally knew that this guy who looked young but didn't know how old he was. Beneath his relaxed and casual appearance, there was a hidden stubbornness unique to the British old man.

"Also, if you stay now, you can help me with a little favor, which can be regarded as offsetting part of the 'transaction price'."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

At this juncture, the other party suddenly mentioned the "transaction price", causing Higashino Yukihira to narrow his eyes.

Intuition tells him that this "price" cannot be simple.

After all, that time in the Middle East, in order to get the Necronomicon, he turned several dead cities upside down.

"Well, it's not complicated to say. Just like the one in the Middle East, just recycle one thing."

"One thing... If you guessed correctly, it is the "Hundred Ghosts Painting Scroll" in front of you, right?"

Familiar with Chardonald's paranoid preference for "cultural relics", Higashino Yukihira already had the answer in his heart.

"Bingo, it's easy to talk to smart people! From my standpoint, it's not convenient to take action. With your strength, it's difficult to destroy grudges, but if you just wait for the opportunity to 'recycle' it should be fine..."

"And ~lightnovelpub.net~ my request is also considered to be consistent with your purpose of getting on this train, right? After all, if you want to take back this grudge, you must first end some kind of 'life contract with the original owner'. '."

Chardonald's relaxed tone, through the gnawing sound and the gust of wind, was clearly heard in his ears.

"No problem, as long as it doesn't affect me killing Kotomine Jiro."

Higashino Yukihira, who already owed the other party a large amount of "favor" and had no room for bargaining, happily agreed, and took the time to ask: "However, you have to tell me first, what is the origin of this "Hundred Ghosts Painting Scroll"? Aum Shinri What the **** is going on with this thing and this train?"

Since returning to Japan, this elusive Chateau Nord just said, "I have other observation topics to be busy with," and completely disappeared in front of him and Reiko.

This made Higashino Yukihira, who secretly investigated the Aum Shinrikyo and accumulated a lot of doubts, never had the opportunity to take advantage of the other party's profound knowledge.
