Escape from the world [Cthulhu]

On the third day investigators arrived in the town, they welcomed a second death.

Master Tibetan's death caused panic from top to bottom in the Tibetan family - they slept together yesterday, but no one heard a sound.This time it was Master Tibetan who died, so next time, will it be one of them?

The three investigators mixed in with the servants of the Tibetan family, all pretending to be indifferent to what happened last night, and waited blankly for the witch who brought Yan'an and the others over.

The witch made simple inquiries to them, such as why they came to Kurahara's house yesterday and stayed here overnight.

He Ying pushed Chu Lishu out of the way, otherwise he could tell the truth that they had nothing to eat when they went back because the witch stayed at Moriyama's house yesterday.

Fortunately, the witch didn't have any doubts about them—if they were innocent, they were the most innocent outsiders. They just asked a few simple questions and let them go, and went to work with the Tibetan family.

"The maiden's complexion is not very good today." An Lan touched her chin.

"If it were me, I'm afraid my complexion would be even worse." Yan An said coolly, "Yesterday morning, Mori Shan was found dead, so it can be said that he met a bad person. Today there is news of Zang Yuan's death, and the situation is still so strange. I can't find any other explanation than the Cat's Revenge."

An Lan didn't understand what this meant: "Isn't it a good thing that people who did evil things were condemned to death?"

"But they are the ruling class of this town," He Ying explained, "they were condemned to death by God, that is, the ruling class has done a lot of evil, which will cause dissatisfaction and doubts from the tenants. It's okay if the dead people stop here, and if the dead people continue If something goes wrong, the status of the entire ruling class will be shaken. Although the maiden and these landlords are not completely on the same side, the operation of her and the shrine cannot do without the financial support of these gentlemen."

An Lan half understood: "Oh..."

An Xian stroked her sister's dog's head.

After dismissing the ignorant and curious baby, Yan An looked at He Ying and started a conversation between the adults: "Did you find anything yesterday?"

"I didn't find much. When we came, Master Cangyuan was going to bed." He Ying thought about the content, "It's true that he is weak, and he coughs just by saying two words. So we can't ask too much. , I can only stay overnight, I plan to observe first."

"He may have been lucky, thinking that you will not be affected by the black cat, and you can wake up when you hear the sound." Yan An said, looking at He Ying and An Xian with complicated eyes, "It didn't work out. Thinking that you are the type with low willpower." Needless to say, Chu Lishu, Yan An didn't think he could intervene at all, it would be good if he didn't make trouble.

"But thinking about it now, he already leaked the clues at that time." Chu Lishu, who was disgusted by Yan'an, said with a smile, "If it's not a guilty conscience, there is no need to make such a big battle and get everyone together. Dare to sleep."

"In that case, he probably did it on purpose yesterday." He Ying was helpless, and then asked Yan'an, "Did you gain anything yesterday?"

"Yesterday I sneaked into Morishan's house." Lian Yu said, "After passing two lucky checks, I found an independent courtyard—a torture chamber."

An Xian asked, "Have you gained anything?"

"The blood inside is very fresh..." Lian Yu hesitated, but said, "The size of the torture device is not the size of an adult."

He Ying was shocked by the hidden meaning: "It's not the size of an adult, that is to say..."

"It's Nami." An Xian held the Kagura bell in her hand and said with certainty, "This is the crime of Master Moriyama and the others."

Moriyama adopted Nami, who was seriously ill, but only regarded her as a toy that could be tortured at will.

He Ying sorted out the existing clues and information in her mind: Kanghara learned of Moriyama's behavior somehow, and not only did he not stop it, but even became psychologically distorted because of suffering from illness for a long time, and vented the darkness in his heart On the matter of torturing Nami.According to Master Kurahara's words last night, it can be inferred that Kurimaki also knew about it. Although he is not sure whether he was involved, it is very likely that he is also one of Nami's revenge targets...

He sighed: "Now the main line of this world is obvious. We can choose to help Nami get revenge, or we can choose to help the masters kill Nami. According to the attitude of the witch and Master Nakadai, I am more inclined to revenge is the right one." route."

An Lan scratched her head: "Then it's not over yet, is it because Nami's revenge isn't over yet? Now there are only two people left, Li Juan and Nakadai?"

Chu Lishu said with a smile: "That's easy, you kill Li Juan first, and then kill Zhongdai, and this will definitely end."

Lian Yu frowned at him, but said nothing.

"I think it's okay. Anyway, they will die sooner or later, whether we make a move or not." Yan'an agreed instead, "We can save some time by killing them now."

Lian Yu frowned even tighter, but instead of commenting on Yan An and Chu Lishu's speeches, he looked at He Ying again: "What do you think is better?"

He Ying thought for a while, and then said: "I think it's better to be peaceful... There must be a solution that can be solved without killing people. I looked at the body of Tibetan Yuan today—the death was not as bad as Moriyama's." Although yesterday It was scary to hear the movement, but the form of death was unexpectedly complete, "I think Nami's revenge is from the highest crime to the lowest. Some people may not be guilty of death. As long as the crime is announced and executed With the corresponding punishment, one life can still be left."

Lian Yu nodded appreciatively: "You are right."

"But we don't have enough criminal evidence now." An Xian said, "Even Nakadai's innocence is just our wishful thinking. Maybe he knows it too, but he just didn't expect it to be Nami's revenge?"

"How about it." Yan'an glanced at her, "We will go to each house separately this afternoon to investigate. We went to Mori Shan's house yesterday, so we don't need it today. The remaining three houses are just divided into three groups."

"Let's stay at the Tibetan family." Chu Lishu volunteered, "After all, we stayed here yesterday and wanted to protect Master Tibetan, so we can win their trust more."

"An Lan and I went to Li Juan's house." An Xian looked at Yan An who was frowning slightly, "Boss Yan seems to be more fierce recently, I'm afraid that if he gets impatient, he will kill Master Cangyuan."
