Grass, this is not right everyday

"Or, let's close a new deal again, this time I'll tell you about the incident I'm investigating, how about?"

Chief Carbon gasped for his proposal, but Jock was obviously not ready to follow her wish.Joker grinned, swung his tomahawk and hit the head of the response section in the waist.

"What's wrong with this deal? You say you're a stinky sister."

Looking at the chief of the response department who disappeared at sea level, Joke was still not satisfied, and he slashed at the response department building with an axe, making the whole building even more crumbling, and then he showed a satisfied smile.

65. The end of the showman

Watching Section Chief Carbon disappear at sea level, Jock finally sighed in satisfaction.

By the way, it's almost enough to demolish her building, but before that...Jock still needs to find out the information about another disappearance case.

Although I don't know how far this group of people have investigated, it is still higher than Jock's search progress of no more than two days.

However, Joke didn't spend too much time, and the crumbling building under his feet didn't cause him any more trouble, or the place where the information was stored was so obvious that he didn't need to look for it.

Joker easily found the information about the latest investigation on the desk of Section Chief Carbon.

On the thick stack of materials, not only is there a need to distinguish the kidnapping case from the Hoshino Group, but also a lot of space is spent on analyzing the method and means of the murder.

Not all victims were pierced through the chest like Kasumigaoka. This kind of scar only appeared in the last few attacks, but the results of the appraisal still showed that it was done by the same person or the same thing.

Joker is relieved that this group of people still don't know what they are looking for. Unlike Joker, they have seen the attacker, and they don't even know that Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was attacked.

"Why are they all cosplayers?" Joker frowned and flipped through the documents. Among the analysis of the common points of the victims, a large number of them showed that they had been cosplayers and uploaded photos on the Internet.

Jock felt a little strange, and always felt that this matter suddenly became absurd.He doesn't know what fun is in this kind of drama art of wearing colorful costumes and speaking inexplicable lines. It is impossible to choose the victim based on the beauty of the cos photo.

However, it seems that not all the victims are fascinated by Cos. There is a victim named "Tumiya Kagura" who is not a Cos, and survived the attack...

"Looks like I need to talk to this guy." Jock nodded, and quickly found today's attendance record.

And by coincidence, this Tumiya Kagura seems to have gone out with Jock's old acquaintance, the exorcist Isayama Yomi, to conduct a routine investigation. have a look.

After confirming the address, Joker picked up the tomahawk and jumped up to leave the Response Section building. He turned around and threw the tomahawk at the crumbling Response Section building. Construction is worse.

Jock no longer cared about the consequences of the sound of the building collapsing behind him. Now he decided to ask some Tsuchimiya Kagura first, and then go back to Rep to sort out the information.

Jock left from the Response Section, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at a secluded forest in the outskirts of Kanagawa.

Following the unexplored trail, Jock soon discovered the footprints of two human actions.

The woods couldn't stop Jock's footsteps at all, and he quickly found two people wearing some kind of protective equipment.

It looked more like two people walking than on duty. Jock was familiar with the tall one, and the other shorter one must be the Kagura Tumiya mentioned in the data.

Joker randomly found a stone and threw it at the two people who were still talking and laughing on duty.

Isayama Koizumi keenly sensed the attack behind him, held the sword in his hand, turned around and unsheathed it, and cut the stone thrown by Jock into two.

"Hey!" Isayama Huangquan suddenly let out a scream, "You, you, why did you appear out of nowhere!"

"Don't make me sound like a ghost, I have a body, and my whole body is hot!" Joker retorted loudly dissatisfied, "And you, you are Tumiya Kagura, I have a few words to ask you."

Tumiya Kagura was a little surprised when his name was called out. Although he didn't have much contact with him, he probably guessed that the man in front of him was the Joke that Huang Quan had mentioned many times.

"Hello, I'm Kagura Tsuchimiya. It's our first time meeting!" Kagura Tsuchimiya bowed politely.

"Oh, not bad. Very polite, much better than this." Jock looked up and down Tumiya Kagura and said.

This girl looks like she is only in junior high school, holding a sword like Isayama Koizumi, with short hair and a pretty appearance. She will probably be a great beauty in a few years.

"You're so annoying! Didn't you become like that when you slashed and hacked with an ax! And why did you appear here!" Isayama Huangquan hurriedly interrupted Jock's observation.

"I'm so annoyed? I was asking for debts, do you understand the legal and reasonable business! Who do I ask for money when I suddenly appeared and chopped off my debtor? And I just came from the response department, and I came to you Yes." Jock rolled his eyes and retorted nonchalantly.

Isayama Huangquan didn't know how to refute for a while. Although his debtor was actually a wanted criminal, the request at the time was to be captured alive...

"Are you sent by the section chief to support again..." probably thinking of Michizane, Isayama Koizumi naturally brought it in like this, "Does this mean that there is indeed a problem with this house? Then we should be careful .”

Having said that, Isayama Koizumi obviously didn't take it very seriously.

"That... just now you said you had something to ask..." Tumiya Kagura, who was left on the sidelines, reminded embarrassingly at this moment.

"Huh? Ah yes. Tell me about the attack on you before."

Isayama Koizumi and Tumiya Kagura walked along the trail all the way to the house in the suburbs, while exchanging information with Jock.

They obviously don't know that the headquarters of the Response Section has been cut in two, and they almost know everything about Jock as the support sent by the Response Section.

"That is to say, you can't actually recall what happened. You only know that you were attacked?"

"Yes... sorry."

"Don't blame her, there are quite a lot of abilities that can block memories. And when did you start investigating this matter, the section chief said that this matter must be kept secret..."

Joker ignored Huang Quan, he was a little disappointed, he didn't get any useful information from Tumiya Kagura, she only remembered that she was suddenly attacked, and then there seemed to be a fight, and the final result was that she was rescued, but she remembered No matter what the assailant looked like.

The same chest was almost pierced, but did the vigorous exorcist repel the monster with his equipment and consciousness...?

"By the way, I have another question for you."

"?"

"You used to be... uh... did you ever play cosplay?"

Tsunomiya Kagura obviously didn't expect to hear this question at all, she was a little embarrassed, and this pause was thought by Jock that she didn't understand what Cos is.

"It's not that Kagura doesn't understand what cos is, but I didn't expect to hear this from you." Isayama Huangquan replied wittyly, "Of course~ Xiao Kagura played a role in a popular animation during the school celebration The heroine is super cute! There are a lot of likes on the Internet."

"...I see."

Jock didn't know what Isayama Koizumi was showing off, he thought thoughtfully, in this case, although the information is not perfect, basically all the victims played some animation heroines more or less, and uploaded to the web.

Next, just confirm whether Kasumigaoka Shiwa has done it too...

"Okay, it's finally here."

Jock glared at Isayama Huangquan dissatisfied. He didn't care about any patrol missions. It didn't matter to him that the house was remote. How could he find the lair of that thing so easily.

He was about to turn around and leave, and when he left the two of them to go back to sort out the information, he inadvertently glanced at this remote house, and then couldn't look away.

66. The real world

Jock, feel like you've been here.

He couldn't even take his eyes off the three-story mansion in front of him, a strong sense of sight lingered in his heart, making him stare at the house in front of him intently.

"Hello, Jock? Jock!"

"...what?"

Isayama Koizumi, who was already a few steps ahead, called Jock's name loudly, waking him up from his daze.

"What are you doing? Don't be dazed, keep up, hurry up and go eat ice cream~"

Not knowing if it was an invitation to a party, Isayama Koizumi quickly turned around and walked towards the mansion with Tsuchimiya Kagura.

Jock stood where he was. He swallowed, not feeling nervous since his first robbery.

Although Jock himself didn't know what he was nervous about, he had an inexplicable hunch that he would find some answers here.

Silently canceling the plan to leave, following the pace of the two, Jock strode past the two exorcists.

He climbed up the wooden steps in front of the door first, and came to the closed, somewhat old door. Just as he was about to knock, Jock's movements suddenly stopped.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Isayama Huangquan accidentally bumped into Jock's back and asked dissatisfied.

She carefully passed the tomahawk hanging behind Jock and looked towards the wooden gate, and he immediately understood why Jock stopped.

blood.

Although it has solidified, it can still be seen that it is recent, and it is human blood, which is printed on the edge of the door frame in the form of palm prints.

"...be careful, Kagura."

Isayama Koizumi and Tumiya Kagura are veterans after all, and the bloody handprints in front of them still carry some pieces of flesh, grabbed the edge of the door, and disappeared along the crack of the door.

Qiao Ke pushed open the door silently, originally intending to forcibly break the lock, but surprisingly, he pushed the door open very easily without encountering any resistance.

The door slammed harshly. The first time he entered the mansion, what Jock saw in front of his eyes was the bloodstains extending along the corridor, as if he was being dragged by something, all the way to the very inner room.

It can be seen that this is someone who wanted to escape from this house, but before leaving, he was discovered and dragged back abruptly.

Jock entered the mansion, his shoes creaking on the ground, followed by Isayama Koizumi and Tumiya Kagura, with their hands on the handle of the knife, ready to draw the knife out of its sheath at any time.

It can be seen everywhere that the home furnishings here are closer to the Chinese style, and there are layouts that make Joke nostalgic everywhere, but compared with the decorations in the 21st century that Joke remembers, this place seems to be closer to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

"I'll take a look around first, don't get in the way." Jock said as he walked along the bloodstains proficiently, as if it wasn't the first time he came here.

He followed the bloodstains to the end quickly, and the traces were interrupted behind the crack of the door. Jock grasped the handle tightly, and the strong sense of déjà vu in his heart became even stronger.

(Behind this, is the bathroom?)

Jock suddenly thought of this for no reason, and at the same time pushed open the door of the room.

Sure enough, it was the bathroom.

Jock's heart sank when he saw the scene in front of him. The bathroom in front of him was full of coagulated blood and fragments of internal organs. The marble floor was also damaged, and there were signs of destruction everywhere.

The bathtub in front of him was big enough for two people to lie down comfortably and take a hot bath, but now it was only filled with water, and what was soaking in it was the severely decomposed body of a victim.

Her head was floating on the surface of the water that had already been dyed red, and there were still various limbs and fragments in the water.

Jock could barely recognize her. This was mentioned in the previous information, and she was one of those who disappeared after being attacked.

"Hey, it's not like these two exorcists who are so lucky will find a hiding place."

Jock cursed and stepped forward to observe the traces of these fragments. It seemed that they were roughly smashed into this by something, rather than borrowing some sharp weapon.The person who did it must have been very angry with this guy, smashed it more than once, and even destroyed the bathroom.

"Ok?"

Jock observed the soaking body in the bathtub, and suddenly noticed that half of the hand in the bathtub seemed to be holding something.

He took out what was in his hand without much effort.It's a photo, and it's someone's headshot, but it's a pity that it's only half of it. The key parts of the face are missing, and only the tie and shoulders can be seen clearly.

"Jock! You don't...uh..."

Isayama Huangquan came out from behind, and she was about to complain about Jock acting casually alone, when she was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of her.

Although I have seen many bad scenes as an exorcist, this one in front of me is extremely unacceptable.

"unacceptable……"

Tsumiya Kagura covered his mouth and nose, unable to bear to look directly at the scene in front of him.

"Split up, I'm going to look around." Joker took on the role of team leader on his own.

Regardless of the exorcist's reaction, he left the bathroom directly to verify the déjà vu in his mind.

He came to the study "with ease", and after pushing the door open, there was surprisingly no dust inside. After passing through the classical design of the door behind the bookshelf, what appeared before him was the entrance to a basement.

Jock became more careful, the déjà vu after this became more and more blurred, and it seemed that he could no longer rely on the déjà vu that he didn't know what was going on.

Jock went deep all the way, the basement was unexpectedly deep, but when he really went deep into the innermost part, he found that this place was connected with the outside world.

It wasn't that a second exit was built, but something seemed to break a hole in the basement. The hole was about ten meters above the ground, and it was only the size of a basketball. It couldn't be seen what caused it.

The interior of the basement is very delicate, with antique desks and candlesticks, and the Four Treasures of the Study neatly placed beside it. Inside are neat rows of bookshelves, but all the books have been emptied.

There are still several rooms in the basement. Jock carefully walked towards the largest one. After entering the room, what he saw was a huge map of the world.

The map is nearly ten meters long and wide. It is placed behind the transparent glass at the foot. There is only one window, which can be moved freely through the lever next to it for easy viewing. There are news bulletins and notes posted on some places on the map, and some places still have Something of unknown meaning.

For example, in the state of Massachusetts, commonly known as Massachusetts, a small place called Dunwich in the northwest of Massachusetts on the map was pasted with a note written with a red brush on it, which read "has Invalid" three words.

There is also a strange small statue placed on a piece of sea in the South Pacific.The clay figure looks like an octopus-like head, a human body, and bat-like wings on its back. Generally speaking, it should be similar to a human figure.

67. Connect with God

Joker operated the lever and checked every corner of the map repeatedly. The map with a length and width of more than ten meters recorded extremely detailed place names, longitudes and latitudes, but there were unidentified objects placed almost everywhere, or notes of unknown meaning.

The location of the desert in Australia is filled with wonderful stones carved with fine writing, the Antarctic continent has a clipping of a newspaper clipping news about a long-ago Antarctic expedition, and the Severn Valley in the UK has a note written in red " Danger", and the town of Innsmouth, which is also located in Massachusetts. For some reason, the map here has been artificially crossed.

The entire world map is filled with unknown small objects like the ones mentioned above, some of which can only be called garbage in Jock's view, or are extremely simple and rude notes with unclear meanings.

Although Jock didn't understand what these meant, but because it might be the den of the creature or its creator, Jock still took out his mobile phone, pointed at the map and took pictures one after another.

After confirming that there were no missing corners on the world map, and confirming that there was nothing else worthy of attention in the room, Jock left the room and went to the second room in the basement.

The second room can be seen at a glance. It is an ordinary room, but there is nothing. It is often used in rituals or cult sacrifices. The devil worshiper that Jock saw not long ago used a similar room to complete it. A pool of blood.
