【Puppy】Maske

Back in time a few hours ago.

My aunt stepped into the pediatric inpatient area.Unlike back then, the walls have been repainted a warmer pink and a new fenced play area has been added, where several children are playing with balls and blocks.I deliberately picked the shift change time at noon, and the front desk will be unattended for a few minutes.In this way, my aunt got into the ward smoothly.

Groups of children were not good for questioning, and she wanted someone to talk to alone.After investigating the floor plan and monitoring distribution of the hospital, my aunt easily hid her face from the camera.Because the patients here are all juveniles and toddlers who do not yet have full behavioral capacity, the upper part of the ward door is equipped with transparent glass, which is very suitable for observing the situation inside.

The patients in the first few wards are all young children aged 3-7.My aunt continued to walk until she was about to reach the innermost point when a little boy suddenly attracted her attention. He was half lying on the bed playing cards. A game that can be played alone.Aunt knows this game, she played it, when she came to investigate the second time.She remembers the boy's proud tone when he taught her the game, "That's what he taught me. He's real, not something I imagined."

My aunt pushed the door open, and the boy who was playing cards was startled by the sound of the door opening, and suddenly raised his head, looking at his aunt vigilantly.

The aunt showed a very friendly smile, and took out the prepared yogurt fudge, "I see that the card you play is so special, can I also play with you?"

"Mom said you can't just play games with strangers."

The aunt showed a regretful expression, and there was another piece of chocolate in her palm, "It's a pity, I still want you to teach me how to play, and I'll treat you to candy."

This time the price tag is enough.

"Who taught you this way of playing? It's so special." At the end of the round, my aunt said with a feigned sigh.

The boy had the same proud expression she had seen before, "No, another girl taught me that."

"Is she a patient here too?"

"That's right." The boy nodded, his white teeth turned black with chocolate, "She lives in the next room next door."

My aunt played two more rounds before leaving and went to the next room next door.Fortunately, I didn't meet any doctors or nurses on the road.

Looking at the door plate, "Zashiki Doji", the little girl in orange clothes turned her back to the door and looked out the window, even though her aunt pushed the door open, she didn't turn around.

The aunt quietly sat down on the chair next to her, and the little girl turned her head slowly.

Aunt took out the box of cards bought with candy from the little boy, "I heard you taught him this game?"

The little girl's calm eyes suddenly became flustered, and she kept saying in a low voice but quickly, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know...Mom."

"She's sick again, give her an injection." It wasn't until she heard the voice that the aunt realized that the doctor had entered the ward without her knowing.

"Who are you?" the doctor wearing a mask asked her aunt in confusion.

"I'm here to give her a card."

"Are you a family member of Bed 31?"

"Correct."

"It's past visiting time now, you should leave quickly." The doctor said without looking back.

"Understood." Auntie left at a leisurely pace, and her expression was no different from before.Until returning to Boya's ward.

"Have you found anything?"

"Look at this." My aunt said, and she took out a small piece of paper from her pocket, on which was written crookedly with a pencil, "20, 201, SOS."

"Where did this note come from?" Yan Yanluo took the note, the handwriting on it obviously did not belong to an adult.

"It was slipped into my hands by a little girl named Zashiki Doji."

"What do these numbers mean?" the hair eater asked.

Boya looked at the note several times, "I think 20 may be the time, eight o'clock in the evening."

"201 may be the location," the aunt continued, "I checked the map of the hospital when I came back, and 201 is a temporarily vacant consultation room."

"It won't be that simple." The hair eater said.

My aunt tore up the note and threw it into the trash can, "I'll find out tonight, if it's not right, I'll go to the pediatrics department tomorrow."

There was a knock on the door, "It seems that I arrived at just the right time." Everyone looked up to the door, and it was Yaodao Ji who pushed the door and entered, "I'll go with you."

Boya is inconvenient to move, and Hair Eater and Yan Yanluo are more suitable for watching the wind.Although my aunt felt that if she was only in the hospital, there should not be too much danger, but two people are better than one.

The two hair-eaters left the hospital and returned to the car at the end of the visit. Both the aunt and the Yaodaoji wore hidden cameras connected to the monitoring screen on the car.

They arrived at room 5 201 minutes early. The room used a traditional lock, and it didn't take too much time to open the door.But until a quarter past eight, there was still no sign of anyone.

"Did we really think wrong?" Auntie asked.

Demon Sword Fairy was even more calm, "Wait a little longer."

Until 08:30, the sound of Xixi Suso suddenly sounded above the head. Yaodao Ji and Auntie looked at the little girl protruding from the ceiling. At this time, she was completely different from the sluggish image in the daytime. She looked spirited, lively and dexterous He fell down from the ceiling, but his movements were obviously not proficient and he almost fell.

"Come with me," she said.Returning to the space on the ceiling again, my aunt and Yaodao Ji looked at each other, and followed one after the other.The pipe was bigger than expected, and it was not difficult for the two of them to get up, but they had to be careful not to let the long knife touch the wall of the pipe and make a sound.

The little girl crawled quickly and skillfully, and I don't know how many times she has repeated it.The two followed her, even if they were so powerful, they couldn't tell where the pipe led to, they only knew that it should be going downwards.

"Here we are." The girl said in a breathy voice. At this time, next to where she was kneeling, there was a welded vent, and there was light coming from below.Aunt and Yaodao Ji struggled to squeeze on both sides of the vent and looked down.

The next moment, the two of them gasped.

Below the vent is an operating room.From the perspective of the operating room alone, this is a clean and bright operating room that is no different from ordinary operating rooms.And it wasn't the operating room itself that made the two of them gasp—it was the surgery that was going on now.Yaodao Ji has learned basic medical knowledge, but my aunt has never learned it, but she also knows that the operation in front of her is not normal.The chest of the person lying on the bed undergoing surgery has been completely opened, and there is nothing but bones and flesh. However, there are four or five freezers lined up side by side on the cart next to it, and the doctors and nurses are all focused on it. On the freezer of the hospital, treat the patient as nothing—or, more accurately, a corpse.

Illegal organ trafficking has been active in the black market for a while due to its huge profits, but under the joint crackdown of the government and gangs, although it has not completely disappeared, it is rare.Not to mention the case of harvesting all organs like this one.

Auntie and Yaodao Ji got closer to get a better look. Everyone below had the word "numb" written on their faces, as if the person on the hospital bed was not a person, but a fruit that had been completely crushed. Plucked fruit trees.

All the pictures in front of them were sent back to the car through the camera, and seeing what happened in front of them, Hair Eater and Yan Yanluo were not idle, and immediately notified Seimei who was in Kyoto.Yokohama is not under the jurisdiction of Kyoto Prefecture, and they cannot search immediately.

My aunt tried to transmit more images from different angles, but her wrist was suddenly held by Demon Sword Fairy. She pointed to the other side of the operating room, where a large amount of sodium cyanide, the most widely used euthanasia drug, was stored there. It should not be prepared for such a bloody operation.The two looked at each other, and both understood that the hospital might have done something else.The aunt only felt that her fingertips were slightly numb, and she wanted to jump down and ask those people with scalpels in front of them how they could do such a thing.But her wrist was held by Yaodao Ji, and the thick calluses on the palm of her hand that had been holding the knife for many years calmed her down.If you want to completely uproot the forces behind the scenes, you must calm down now.Then she suddenly remembered something, looking at Zashiki Warji who was sitting on the other side with his knees curled up, a thought formed in her heart, enough to make her shudder.This group of people, they even attacked children.

When I returned to 201 again, my aunt looked at the words "Save the dying and heal the wounded" written on the wall and found it very ironic.

"You can't go back, come with us." Aunt said to Zashiki who was about to return to the pipeline again, "It's too dangerous here."

"But..." She looked timid and brave, "I can't leave my friends behind."

"How many of you are there?" Yao Dao Ji asked.

"There were twelve when we came, but we were scattered, and now I'm not sure." She lowered her head, looking sad.

"Where do you come from?" Auntie caught the point.

"It's about time, let me go back." Zashiki looked a little anxious, "I will come to check the ward in a while."

Auntie took a deep breath, looked at Yaodao Ji, "I can't delay any longer."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Yao Dao Ji asked.

"It's okay, Mr. Seimei is in charge if something goes wrong."

"Well, there is also Ootengu-sama."

Just when my aunt was about to take out her police officer ID to take a picture at the front desk, the voice of the hair eater finally came from the intercom headset that had been silent, "A search warrant has been issued."

At this time in Kyoto, Seimei was gloomyly looking at the enlarged photo on the screen in front of him.That's what he found in the materials related to the hospital left by his aunt.Just after he was anxious to get the search warrant, an inadvertent glance made his eyes stay on the photo that he had hurriedly flipped through for a long time.It was a group photo of the members of the hospital's board of directors. The three rows of members had to zoom in three times to see what he wanted clearly—the man in the corner of the third row with only half of his face exposed.

That was the family doctor he was most familiar with when he was a child.He has a secret that even Boya hasn't told. He once suffered from congenital heart disease, and his rare blood type makes it extremely difficult to match him.Even with the power of the Abe family, he can only be inserted at the forefront of the transplant list.When he was ten years old, the man in front of him performed the surgery.However, he never saw the man again. He always thought that it was because he had a heart attack that things had to be concealed, but now it seems that he may have been secretly working for the Abe family.Reminiscent of the picture that Yan Yanluo sent just now, his heart seems to be beating more violently than usual. Is this really the heart he deserves?

Dial that well-known but seldom-used number.

It's time for a showdown.

Tonight, for some people is destined to be a night of brightly lit sleepless nights, for others, it is a night of love and lingering passion-although the final ending is the same exhaustion.The former is Auntie and Demon Sword Princess, while the latter is Demon Fox and Daitengu.

The boss's instructions were not in vain, and a whole box of condoms with broken outer boxes was lying quietly in the trash can.The dirty sheets were thrown in the laundry hamper and replaced by new sheets laid by Ootengu himself.At this time, on this new bed sheet, the two were sleeping in each other's arms. After the last vibration of the mobile phone that had been used for a day, the black screen was unwilling to wake them up.

As for the rain outside the window, it was getting heavier and heavier.

Even though he was extremely tired, the demon fox still woke up early because of his biological clock, but the big tengu still got up earlier than him, and the sound of talking to people kept coming from the bathroom.Yaohu put on the clothes that had been dried with oil, and found the panties beside him that must have been washed and dried by the big tengu. When all the clothes were put on, the big tengu had already pushed open the bathroom door and came out.

"They made a major discovery." Big Tengu said, and handed his mobile phone to Yaohu. On it were the materials from his aunt that had just been decompressed, more than a dozen videos and hundreds of pictures.Yaohu looked at the shooting date, 20:21 on the 45th.

"Should we continue to Yokosuka?" Ootengu asked.

"No, let's go directly to meet them." Yaohu said, "Then we will go to that nursing home together. We must race against time."

Aunt and the others spent the whole night searching the entire hospital.The place Zashiki took them to before was indeed in the basement, and there are three operating rooms like that in this hospital, and a large amount of drugs used for euthanasia were also seized.And Aunt and the others finally knew where Zashiki and the others came from—a nursing home between Yokohama and Kyoto.It is said to be a nursing home, but it is more like a combination of a local mental hospital and a nursing home.It became clear that the hospital had been illegally selling organs from orphans and some unattended mental patients.At the same time, they also provide illegal euthanasia services, some commissioned from terminally ill people, some commissioned from people seeking death, and some huge commissions from the family members of mental patients.

The hospital was naturally closed down, but the reason announced to the outside world was naturally different from the real reason.

After dealing with other things, my aunt looked at Zashiki Warji who was sleeping on the chair with distress.Just imagining how a little girl of her age could have such a calm and strong heart made her feel sad.She draped a blanket over her.

"Miss Qingming's phone number." Yaodao Ji handed the phone to her aunt.

"Qingming's call." It wasn't just my aunt who received the call, but also Yaohu.

"What I'm going to say next is very important, you must listen carefully."

"What did he say?" Yaodao Ji asked the aunt who hung up the phone.

"We have to get to the nursing home quickly," she said.

"Can I go with you?" Zashiki asked, biting his chapped lips, as if awakened by her voice.

"You should go to your new home with your little friends, and I promise nothing like this will happen again." Auntie said softly and patiently.

However, Zashiki kept pleading, "I want to see the bad guys brought to justice with my own eyes."

The aunt was finally persuaded by her, "When the big tengu and the fox arrive, we will set off."

"I'm a little worried that our actions will scare the snake away. Have they already started to move secretly?" Gu Huo Niao paced back and forth in the conference room of the hospital, and Zashiki fell asleep after eating some breakfast.At this time, it had been three hours since Qingming received the call, and it was almost eleven o'clock.

"There are still eight hours before the start." Yao Dao Ji said, "Besides, Master Qingming has already made some arrangements? Why don't you seize this time and take a rest."

According to Zashiki's testimony and subsequent investigations, the location of the nursing home has long been determined, and Seimei has also dispatched a group of police forces to ambush around the orphanage. The time the banquet started.

"What's more," Yaodao Ji kept looking at the phone, a blue dot was constantly moving, and she showed the screen of the phone to her aunt, "We still have a guide."

"Master Abe, it's time to start preparations." The servant knelt on the floor docilely, and the carefully tidied kimono was hung on the wooden beam behind him.

Mrs. Abe was sitting with his back facing her, but after a few days, his back no longer looked as tall and straight as before.There was an open wooden box on the low table in front of her, holding a plastic-covered photo in her hand, she put the photo back into the box, and locked the box again.

"it is good."

In the locked photos, the four of them were smiling happily.

Ootengu likes the thrill of driving and enjoys high-speed driving, but he has been a law-abiding driver for most of the past 30 years.Ootengu, who was driving towards Yokohama at a speed exceeding the prescribed speed again, looked at the camera flashing above him from time to time, thinking that his record of violations during this period might be more than the sum of the previous ones.

"Big Tengu." Yaohu suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

"Why do you say people do everything?" This sentence sounds strange, and there may be some grammar problems.But the big tengu still understood what he wanted to express.

"I think it's desire," he said.

Yaohu laughed, "Speaking of the word desire, I always feel that it has a derogatory meaning. Not everything is because of desire, there are always some things that we do casually, and there are also things we do not for ourselves but for others. "

Big Tengu shook his head, "No, I don't think so."

"For example, in this case, what desire of yours made you do it?"

The big tengu controlled the car to smoothly turn a large corner.

"Of course there is."

"What desire?"

"The desire to be with you."

This answer is a bit far-fetched, Yaohu thought, but she still felt very happy.

Meet with my aunt and the others at the rest area on the highway, and there are still some details related to tonight's action that need to be discussed.Aunt had never mentioned that she would take a zashiki and act with them.Therefore, when Yaohu saw Zashiki brought down by his aunt holding hands, he was still a little surprised.

"She must be with us." Seeing his doubts, the aunt assured her again, "She is very good, and I will take good care of him."

"That's it." Yaohu was a little embarrassed, but nodded.After discussing a few issues with the aunt and the others and preparing to set off, Yaohu suddenly said, "Your car is crowded, Zashiki, why don't you take our car?"

"Okay." Zashiki Doji quickly agreed obediently, and followed Yaohu back to the car.

"Do you have favorite music?" Ootengu asked, thinking about taking care of the children.

"Actually, I rarely listen to music." Zashiki twisted his fingers.Reminiscent of her life experience.Datengu always felt like he said something wrong, but Yaohu played a CD casually without taking it seriously. "You must follow Auntie all the time tonight and don't run around."

"Okay." Still very well-behaved.

"By the way," Yaohu turned around from the front seat, "Have you heard of Black Night Mountain?"

"Heiye Mountain, what is that?" Zashiki asked puzzled, "Is it a scenic spot?"

"It's nothing," Yaohu smiled and handed her the candy.Another one was stuffed into the big tengu's mouth, and the hand seemed to brush the back of the big tengu's hand unintentionally, fingers slightly bent.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when they reached one of the police ambushes.Seimei arrived one step ahead of them, and was listening to several police officers tell the results of the whole day's investigation.On the LCD screen in front of him is a three-dimensional map of the nearby terrain.The sanatorium is on a mountain, so it might be more appropriate to call it a hill.

"We didn't get too close to the nursing home, we just conducted a survey near the mountain." A Hannya said, and after entering a series of commands, densely interlaced blue and red dots appeared on the screen, "The blue dots were detected at that time. Monitoring equipment, according to our detection, the red dot is a high-energy substance, and it is speculated that it may be a flammable and explosive substance.”

"It seems that this is very likely to be the real stronghold of the Black Night Mountain." Yaohu said, while thinking in his heart, such a large amount of explosives has far exceeded the amount of munitions planned by Yamabuki, and the distribution position is not like The storage location is more like a deliberate arrangement. What exactly does that person want to do?

"We tried to hack into their monitoring system but failed, but there should be no trace left." The technician said, "My team members are still trying." Entered a series of different commands from before, The blue dots and red dots all disappeared, and more dense green dots appeared.

"Each of these green dots represents a moving person." The technician continued to explain, and the model zoomed in, "Our system can roughly calculate the body shape of each person based on the heat, most of them are less than 1.5 meters tall Children." He took several more screenshots, with an interval of about an hour, and he could clearly see that the green dots on the graph gradually became denser and denser, "Our analysis shows that everyone seems to be concentrated. "

"Is this all the people?" Yan Yanluo asked.

"There is a certain error in this equipment," Banruo replied, "some people may be missed." He pointed to the lower left corner, "And we found that although everyone is gathering to the south, they seem to be divided into In two parts, there are about 30 people in the southernmost part, and the proportion of children among these people is lower."

Hearing his words, Boya and Qingming glanced at each other, their expressions were particularly gloomy.Boya lowered his head and cursed softly, "Bastard."

Another technician came over at this time and said to Seimei, "The cars you ordered us to monitor have just left Tokyo."

"Understood." Qingming said, looking at Hannya again, "We need a safe way to enter."

"Only a few of us will go." Yaohu added, with such a large number of explosives ambushed around and the opponent's purpose is not yet clear, a small but capable team is the best choice.Moreover, if his guess is correct, only a few of them can enter smoothly.

"I'm very sorry," Banruo showed a somewhat embarrassed look, "I haven't planned a route with a success rate higher than 50.00% yet."

"Then what's the best choice now?" Yaohu asked.

The forward route was simulated on the screen, but as Hannya said, just looking at it this way, the success rate of this route is already very low.What's more, their investigation is not accurate enough, and there may be other accidents on the road.This is not a good choice.

"I know a way." The soft child's voice said, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on a forgotten Zashiki boy. "We once found a small path leading to the outside by accident when we were playing."

"Then why don't you run away?" the hair-eater asked, and realized something was wrong when the words came out.I saw a sad look on Zashiki Doji's face, "Those teachers and aunts treated us well in the past." But by the time the truth was discovered, it was too late.

"Tell us the route." Auntie said, "Would you just wait for us outside?"

Zashiki looked embarrassed, "But I don't know how to read maps."

Unexpectedly, Yaohu quickly agreed, "Okay, you go with us."

The departure time was set at six o'clock, and they still had half an hour to prepare.Needless to say, body armor and communication equipment, weapons are mainly cold weapons. After all, in a space surrounded by explosives, the use of hot weapons is very limited.

"You take this with you." Big Tengu handed the dagger to Yaohu.

"You should take it with you."

"You don't have to worry about taking me with you." Big Tengu personally tied the dagger to the side of Yaohu's leg, "I'm still waiting for you to use it to protect me."

"Do you still remember this sentence?" Yaohu asked.

That was when the demon fox gave the dagger to the big tengu.

"Let me declare first that I made this dagger for myself. I just lent it to you first."

"..." Big Tengu looked at his lover speechlessly.

"The dagger is only useful when it sees blood. You know that people in my line of work have very few chances to use a dagger. I will take it back after you see the blood for me. I will use it to protect you then."

"Who is protecting?" Big Tengu raised his eyebrows.

By the time the demon fox realized that he had pulled out the tiger's beard again, it was already the next morning.

On the other side, Shuten and Ibaraki, who were not involved in the discussion at all, also had a dispute at this time.

"Can't you just stay outside and respond?" Shuten said to Ibaraki while putting on the body armor.

"No, I said I would help you investigate Hongye's death."

"Ibaraki!" Shuten's voice was so clear-headed for the first time in recent days, "Have you had enough trouble?"

"No." Ibaraki looked at Shuten, "There won't be any."

"Brother Yaohu," the corner of Yaohu's clothes was suddenly pulled, and it was Zashiki, "Can you take me to the bathroom?"

"Of course." Yaohu said, and looked at Daitengu again, "Wait a minute." Then he arranged the body armor for Daitengu.

"Let's go." Then said softly to Zashiki.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and it was time to set off.

Auntie and Zashiki are at the front, followed by Yoshihime, Seimei and Hiroya, Shuten and Ibaraki after that, Daitengu and Yoho are at the end, and the hair-eating ghosts and Yan Yanluo, who are relatively weak in individual combat effectiveness, are left behind. down.Ibaraki was rarely quiet, and what was even more abnormal was that he actually kept a distance from Shuten.

This road is indeed very hidden. The map given by Prajna did not record this dirt road hidden among the green trees. It only rained last night, and the mud was deep enough to cover the feet when I stepped down. Fortunately, I came prepared The crowd put on rubber boots.

Zashiki would stop from time to time, as if to identify the direction.Seimei looked at the screen, they seemed to be heading north.

The convoy is approaching the direction where the green dots gather.

"We have to go faster." Qingming said, "They have arrived."

Having said that, the sky is almost completely dark at this moment, and the difficulty of identifying the way has increased again.Fortunately, this road may indeed be too hidden, and there are no obstacles along the way.

"We'll be there soon," Seimei said.

They walked out of the woods at [-]:[-] and saw a high fence. In order not to be photographed, several people walked sideways along the wall.

"Is there a way for you to get in?" Yoko asked Zashiki in a low voice.

"follow me."

Daitengu looked at the covered hole in front of him, wondering when was the last time he drilled such a hole, and the answer he got was that he had never done such a thing.Yaohu and the others drilled smoothly, the only one who struggled a bit was Boya whose wound hadn't healed yet.

From sticking to the outside of the wall to sticking to the inside of the wall, "Shall we go to the green point now, or investigate here first?" Auntie asked.Another option is to divide the troops into two groups and proceed at the same time, but for them at the moment, this third option seems a bit risky.

"I think..." Yaohu was only halfway through.The originally dark courtyard was suddenly illuminated by strong light, bright as day.

"I'm sorry, I made the decision for you without authorization." A man with a birthday cake in his hand stood in the center of the strong light, with the same appearance and voice as Seimei, "Welcome everyone to come to my brother and I's 35 birthday party."
