Chapter 194 Deduction of Goodwill and Maliciousness
Chen Qiang frowned.

Not only Helena, Mitarai also concealed the fact that almost all the veteran investigators were aware of it, but only Helena chose to spread the word.

"As far as I know, even if you accept the blood of the skeleton-eaters, it will take a long time to complete the transformation of human beings into the skeleton-eaters," Helena said.

"You are right." Mr. Mitarai said calmly.

"Not to mention, even if you become a skeleton eater, you have already mastered the magic to transform back into a human form. But why do you say you have never returned home?" Helena asked straightforwardly, "You didn't have to do this in the first place. I did. I chose not to go back in the mountains of Hokkaido, do you really have to do this?"

"Ha... I really asked." Lawyer Robin folded his hands on his chest, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

"I know a skeleton-eating clan living in human society," Chen Qiang thought of Uncle Xu, "after he became a skeleton-eating clan, he has been living with his wife and daughter..."

Chen Qiang made his tone lower: "Sorry. I shouldn't have said this. If I touched your heart, please allow me to apologize to you. However, you are our ally, and we want to know you and your tribe."

Because of Uncle Xu, Chen Qiang's ghoul didn't have any bad feelings, but he still cooperated with Helena in the hope of getting more words out of him.

"..."

Mitarai was silent for a while.Finally, he finally made up his mind.

"Mr. Chen Qiang, and this lady, please...don't tell anyone else what I said." Mitarai lowered her voice, "Actually, besides me, there was another person who climbed the mountain with me at that time. .”

"Could it be that..." Everyone vaguely guessed something.

"I also have a companion. He is my senior, and we often climb mountains together. The two of us were in danger together, but he was injured more seriously than me," Mitarai said slowly, with deep sadness in his tone, "Together, we built a huge SOS sign on the ground with birch branches. However... three days passed, and no one came to rescue us. We were desperate to see the helicopter hovering in the distance, and did not see our distress signal. left."

"so you……"

Mitarai's voice suddenly became extremely calm: "So I said to him 'I'll be right back', and ran away alone. When I woke up...it was too late. I...made a terrible crime sins forgiven."

"You chose to be rescued alone," Mrs. Megan said.

"I understand your choice, and I understand why you blame yourself so much," Lawyer Robin said, if it were him, for his own life, he would do so without hesitation, "No one can condemn you. "

"But that was my best senpai after all," said Mitarai. "No one knew that the two of us climbed the mountain together. I survived, and the disappearance of senpai was judged as a separate disappearance. Except living alone... I can't think of any way to atone for my senior."

Chen Qiang touched his chin.This Mitarai is a typical Japanese person, but his words always feel unnatural.

"Do you have contact with your family?" Chen Qiang asked tentatively.

Mitarai hesitated for a moment.

"They don't care about me," Mitarai said calmly. "At first I mailed money to them a few times, and they thought I was working in northern Russia. After that, I didn't contact them again. I and My new friends . . . my kind live together."

A moment of silence.No one spoke.

"A few years ago, I heard that the sign we built and the body of the senior were discovered by the authorities," Mitarai sighed softly, "I can't save the senior, so I can only watch over his soul silently here."

Chen Qiang's heart skipped a beat.

The story of Mitarai makes people sigh, but his last exclamation reveals a gap of disobedience in the tragedy he tells.

Helena has personally come into contact with more mythological races than Chen Qiang, and her suspicions are heavier than Chen Qiang.

[Helena's Psychology Test 90/98 succeeded]

That's right...

Helena Blavatsky is sure her instincts are right.

She was keenly aware that there was still a contradiction in Mitarai's last words.

Since Mitarai was rescued by friendly ghouls, why didn't he go back and rescue his companions?

Even if he decided it was too late, how could he completely ignore the corpse?

If he really wanted to atone for his crime, how could he let the senior expose his body in the wilderness, and it would be discovered by others many years later?
unless……

Mitarai understood it very well from the very beginning, even if she went back by herself, it would be of no use.

In such a desperate situation, it is understandable to even leave your companions and seek help alone.

Mitarai did not ask his companions to "wait where they were."When he left his senior, his senior was already dead.

Even with repeated temptations, he couldn't pry out the truth of that day from Mitarai's mouth.Mitarai he-

She looked at Chen Qiang and the others beside her.Others should have also noticed the contradiction in Mitarai's words.

Chen Qiang said nothing.He thought of everything Helena thought of, but when his eyes met Mitarai, he realized something more——

There is not only one possibility.

Chen Qiang intuitively felt that the truth might not be the worst one.

"You talk too much, Mitarai."

In the shadow of the building, a priest in a purple robe and a silver mask stepped out.

Lawyer Robin frowned.The voice coming from under the mask is a female voice.

Female ghoul priests?This has never been seen before.

"Yes!" Mitarai showed a terrified expression.

[? ? ?Psychology check 63/90 success]

"Dear Mr. Chen Qiang, and Mr. Selman, Mrs. Meghan, Ms. Helena, and...uh..."

The purple-robed priest's eyes swept over everyone present.When she saw Keshila, she paused obviously unnaturally, and her expression could not be seen through the mask.

"Please allow me to apologize to everyone on behalf of Mitarai. He hasn't communicated with anyone other than the 'Karen' for a long time, so he's bound to be a bit talkative." The woman's voice was as clear as a summer lake, but the pupils revealed were bright blood red.

"Where. We also heard a good story." Lawyer Robin straightened his hat.

"Human beings always use the greatest malice to speculate on other races. Indeed, Mitarai is not an honest guy. But I also hope you believe that we, the servants of the God of the Crypt, will never protect criminals. Retreat, Mitarai. "
