"It's complicated... okay." Jock took out his phone, "Have you seen this thing?"

Jock handed the photo taken before to Rep, but he didn't expect Rep to scream like a little girl when he saw the half-withered creature in the photo.

"What the hell!" Rep's chest heaved violently.

He couldn't recall the specific image he saw just now, but the panic could not dissipate for a long time, as if he had been hit by a hammer in the chest. Reason told him that there was nothing to be afraid of, but he still couldn't restrain the fear in his heart, as if seeing Something that shouldn't exist.

"This is what you're looking for?" Rep covered his chest and said, "What does this have to do with that woman?"

"The last time this thing appeared was to hunt down this woman." Joker grabbed the mobile phone that was almost blown away in time, "but it was not regarded as prey or other normal needs, and that thing was man-made, I suspect it is Someone manipulated this creature to attack her." Joker said and pointed to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu.

"Hmm, so you want to start with this woman, find out why she was attacked, and deduce the needs and characteristics of the mastermind behind the scenes?" Rep nodded after hearing this, and thought for a while, "It's not very reliable to do so. It's probably too misleading to start with from an attacker's point of view. What about the creature? It must not have escaped your grasp."

"That thing is gone, it will dissolve like a little mermaid soon after it dies."

"Did you find any special abilities about it when you fought it?"

"Uh... The battle ended a little too soon, I didn't pay much attention."

"Tsk, how about the intelligence of this thing?"

"This..."

"...You should figure out whether it is flying or running."

"The battle ended really suddenly."

"You're fucking dead."

19. Gradually clear

Joke is not very willing to tell others about his dreams, and the only thing he really knows is Katsushika Oei.

The others, including Kato and Rip, don't know much about Jock other than that he's a grumpy jerk.

He couldn't answer Rep that he ate a mouthful of meat with that thing in his arms, and had a full meal.

"Okay, I understand why you have to start with this woman." Repp had nothing to say to Jock, "You are really good. Ask what you don't have, and what you want is not enough."

The two Sima faces looked at each other silently, and Jock spread his hands helplessly. He really couldn't come up with any other more useful information.

"So when do we start?" Jock glanced at Kasumi Hill and asked, "I'm pressed for time."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu listened to a lot of things that she understood and some did not understand. The amount of information was a bit large and she had to digest it carefully.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was blindfolded by the tie, couldn't see the outside at all. She didn't know who the fake exorcist was talking to here, and she didn't know where she was taken, let alone how to survive.But she seemed to realize that her ultimate fate was about to come, and she whimpered in frustration.

"Not in a hurry." Leip glanced at the hill, and said thoughtfully, "Compared to the high-risk method, I suggest you start looking for clues from this woman."

Jock nodded approvingly: "Starting from the side, you really think it's not accidental that she was attacked?"

Rep nodded in approval: "I really think so, but the starting point is different from yours."

Jock frowned and said, "How?"

"Do you know anything about the recent disappearance?" Rip asked.

"Not sure, I don't have much free time recently." Jock said with an expression that you understand.

"...Okay, I know, you are busy with the ticket in the fourth house." Repp took out the Pad from the drawer and handed it to Jock, "You should look at the recent disappearance case, maybe it has something to do with what you are investigating relation."

Jock took over the Pad, which contained a series of missing cases, the earliest of which was in 2011.

"Can't you just tell me the result?" Jock said while flipping through the pad, "It's better for everyone to save some time."

Repp almost blurted out the words of poking Mu Niang, but at the last moment he controlled his tongue in time, and he looked at Jock who was flipping through the pad with a Sima face and said.

"The recent disappearances are mainly women, especially girls with spiritual abilities or high potential have been murdered."

"These kidnappers. Although I don't know exactly when they started their activities, but the disappearance cases centered in Tokyo have started to increase in recent years."

"In the beginning, anyone could be male, female, old or young. Later, the number of missing women gradually increased, and then the number of young women increased. Now it is the turn of girls with spiritual abilities and potential for spiritual abilities."

Jock nodded. Indeed, as Rep said, the data showed that from 2011 to 2016, the number of missing persons has indeed been increasing steadily.

Recently, while the number of missing people has not decreased, the "quality" has also greatly improved.Almost every college has someone missing in one way or another, but the news and social media, strangely enough, have nothing to say about it.

"Go to Shizuoka in the east, Chiba in the west, and even Akita in the north. The disappearance case is centered in Tokyo and spreads outward." Repp added when Joker was looking through the information, "The missing people are still here today. They didn’t find any traces, no matter whether it was accompanying items, documents, or corpses, it seemed as if they had completely evaporated from the world.”

"I see." Jock nodded and put down the Pad, "So you think this woman has something to do with these disappearances?"

"It's just a guess." Rep spread his hands and said, "But don't you think it's really suspicious? Compared with looking for some mysterious creature aimlessly, this kind of organization that has been doing kidnapping for several years is obviously more suspicious."

Jock nodded, it was indeed as Rep said.A series of disappearances is indeed worthy of attention, and this is a more obvious clue than an aimless search.

And Jock also understands that to create that kind of creature, it is absolutely impossible for a genius to make it in his garage.This requires long experiments, sufficient funds, and sufficient experimental materials...

This also seems to explain why so many people have disappeared for years, and why so many people disappear without leaving a trace.

But there is still a knot in Jock's heart that has not been solved, why did he ask the taste of that thing and Shi Lezhi gnawed on it.

Rip didn't know this, but Jock did.Does the person who made that creature have anything to do with himself?

If it is really related, maybe it can explain why I travel through, and why I always dream of the boiling sea of ​​stars.

"It makes sense. There is nothing to lose anyway. Let's look in this direction." Joker nodded and said, "So where should we start? We already have the evidence?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Rep got excited, crossed his fingers, and put them on his chest.

"Clues? You can't say there are no. It just so happens that several clues just come together now."

"What do you mean?"

"This Xia Zhiqiu is your classmate, from the grade point of view, she is still your senior sister—"

"Hey hey hey, stop my friend. You can eat shit but you can't talk nonsense, what senior sister? Don't talk nonsense and listen to the wind and the rain."

Jock retorted loudly as if someone had poked the G-spot, as if trying to use the volume to make the hard truth disappear.He bounced back a few meters from the sofa.

Rep looked at the monitor and Jock's face: "Last night, the Chiba Local Board of Education and the school manager worked overtime for a transfer student, and the people who pushed this matter were unimaginably powerful. Although it was just a It's simple to enroll, but it shocked countless people from top to bottom, I glanced at the profile of this transfer student out of curiosity—"

"Okay, don't talk about it."

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Grass Nima."

"Then I will continue."

With a complacent expression, Rep continued to explain the information in hand.

"This Kasumigaoka-sister and you happen to go to the same school." When Repp said the word "senior sister", Jock glared at him, "But what really matters is not this. The school you are attending is the merger of several schools." re-established together."

"I know that, so what?" Jock asked.

"The point is not this. On the surface, the previous schools were due to insufficient students, but in the final analysis, they went bankrupt because of land and management issues."

"The construction company run by this person somehow obtained the land ownership of several schools."

"After the school was forced to go bankrupt, they absorbed their high-quality resources and took the family as the largest shareholder to attract investment. The final result. The school you attended was born, and this congressman officially entered the education field. "

"Under the snow..." Jock looked at the member's information and nodded thoughtfully, "Although the method is a bit dirty, does it have anything to do with what we said before?"

20. Yukinoshita is at stake

"I'm going to talk about it next." Rep continued to say to himself, "The history of this school is not long, and this year is about five years."

"Five years ago, the location where this school was located was still a wasteland. No one could develop it. This land was entrenched with some kind of grievous spirit, and those who got this land would end up miserable without exception."

Joker flipped through the documents and said, "But this congressman Yukinoshita didn't suffer any misfortune. He even has a happy family, with a beautiful wife and daughter."

"That's the problem. After the land was taken by Yukinoshita, it suddenly changed 180 degrees. Whoever took the unlucky land before built the school smoothly."

"Then the school was established, the admissions were made, and everything went unbelievably smoothly."

"So what the hell does this have to do with what we were talking about?" Jock asked impatiently, "I look like a fucking policeman, Bruce Wayne or a fucking City Hunter? The kind who go out in the middle of the night The one who does justice?"

"I'm about to get to that!" Rep yelled louder. "On the day this school first opened, the first confirmed case of disappearance occurred."

"what?"

"And it's even more coincidental. Now that the missing persons are getting younger and younger, this school is the only high school in Chiba Prefecture with zero missing persons."

"Until today, the number of missing people is zero." Joker added lightly, pointing to the hill of Xia.

Jock and Rip fell silent at the same time. If what he said was true, there must be something wrong with this school and Yukinoshita.

Jock picked up the Pad again and flipped through Yukinoshita's information.

"This is really fucking interesting." Joker began to look carefully at Yukinoshita's information, "Let me see, he was a bad boy in college. After marrying into Yukinoshita's family, his life took a turn for the better. Chongtian has now become a local tycoon that can also be called the number one in Chiba County."

"Yukoshita Hisako, Yukinoshita Yoshino, Yukinoshita Yukino, right?"

Jock walked back and forth in the room, looking at the information under Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita Senator Yukinoshita in the photo has a dignified appearance. Although he is not young, he doesn't look very old. Instead, he has a chicness unique to this age.And the recent photo of his wife doesn't look like a mother of two children at all, not to mention her figure, at least her face doesn't even look thirty.

One of the two daughters is in college and the other is in high school. Jock just glanced at it and was not interested in continuing to read, and there was nothing worth watching.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, who was about to be forgotten, curled up on the sofa blankly, as if she had heard some terrible secret.

Is it true that so many people are missing now?Whether it's news or social media, it's completely unheard of.

"What do you think of the wraith mentioned above?" Jock asked suddenly, "Do you think this thing has been eliminated?"

"I have considered this too. But I don't think so." Rep thought for a while and replied, "It is impossible for a wraith of that level to be cleared without any movement. I am more inclined to be temporarily sealed, or used in for some other use."

"But if it's really a powerful wraith like you said, a simple seal won't last for five years." Joker took over the conversation and said, "It is necessary to sign a contract with that wraith, to sacrifice continuously, and to use life as a sacrifice Only then can the seal be strengthened."

Jock and Repp fell silent for a while, only the TV in the room was still broadcasting news about the US election and the Rio Olympics.

Joke sat next to Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, using her legs as a cushion, looking at the ceiling with flickering eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Rep couldn't help asking first, "Are you going to continue to dig out memories from the minds of the surrounding Kasumi Hills, or start from Yukinoshita?"

Jock stood up suddenly and threw the Pad away.

"I want it all." He said, "I'm going to tie up that Yukinoshita at night. You are here to dig out what I want from Kasumi Hill's mind."

"Well, if you insist." Rep shrugged, "I have no objection. It will take about an hour to prepare. As for Yukinoshita Councilor...It just so happens that he is in Kamurocho right now."

"Huh?" Jock stopped to move his body, "You said he was in Kamurocho?"

"Yes." Rep said, turning a display screen over, on which was a picture of a surveillance camera, "Coincidentally, he has an appointment with a patron in Kamurocho tonight."

"That's really great." Joker said in surprise, "Which congressman should I go to now, do you need my help with your preparations here?"

When Jock helped the delicate and frail Rep to fix Kasumi Hill on a chair in the center of a certain ceremony, Yukinoshita and the patron in the surveillance camera had finished spending and were about to leave.

"What are you going to do?" Rep looked at Jock who was packing up, "Just kill him?"

"That Yukinoshita? It's probably useless to kill him, and he probably doesn't know much." Joker changed his school uniform and stuffed his shoulder straps with bullets.

"I thought about it for a while. This Yukinoshita councilor is probably not the mastermind behind the scenes. At most, he is a second-tier configuration. His involvement in the education industry must have been a foreshadowing. That's why no one has touched this school in the past five years. People who have made an exception to this day.”

"If you think about it carefully, most of the people with spiritual abilities or the potential for spiritual abilities have special talents in a certain aspect. But to defeat several other schools in Chiba, pool resources together, and give birth to a super famous school. It is also more conducive to gathering age-appropriate sacrifices from all over the country and even the world."

"But there's one thing I don't quite understand. Why did they choose a place where the spirits are haunted? It doesn't make any sense at all. They even have to find a living sacrifice for this."

"Forget it, let me ask him slowly when the time comes."

Jock thought for a while and decided to give up, picked up an Uzi, loaded the ammunition and stuffed it into his pocket.

Rep took one look and said, "Uzi? Uzi can't do it."

Jock rolled his eyes: "If Uzi can't, can you? CNBB."

"By the way, since you think he doesn't know much, why did you tie him up?" Rep looked at the weapon that Jock took away, and asked while keeping accounts, "You brought so many things on purpose?"

"Firstly, I don't have much choice." Jock explained casually. "Secondly, I don't intend to ask too many things from him. Just one thing is enough."

"The sealed Wraith, if it is assumed that the group of kidnappers is behind Yukinoshita, and the people behind him helped him seal the Wraith. Then no matter what purpose those people have for sealing the Wraith in the school, it must be They all have their own purpose. All I need to do is to ask about the Wraith Spirit and liberate him."

"The sudden liberation of the Wraith will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people behind Yukinoshita. They will definitely take action, and the first person to be held accountable is Yukinoshita who messed things up."

Rep took up the conversation and said, "And when the time comes, you will keep an eye on Yukinoshita, and then follow the clues to find who you want to find? This is a good move."

21. YMCA!

Repp's store was full of cardboard boxes, probably because they had to disappear in a hurry because of Jock's reasons, and many things were not classified in great detail.

Jock packed his weapons and printed out a copy of the disappearance case and information about the Yukinoshita family. When he was about to pay and walk in, something caught his attention.
