Corpse collector in Conan

Borrowing the ghost's eyesight is equivalent to having night vision.

Jiang Xia's vision suddenly became clear.

He walked through a group of strangely shaped sculptures and walked towards the depths of the exhibition hall. The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger.

When you reach the end of the room, look to the left. On the left is a huge oil painting. In the painting, a demon was crucified on a cliff by a knight.

Looking to the right, a fat middle-aged man was nailed to the wall in a devil's posture. Blood was spattered all over the wall, and there was a pool of blood at the base of the wall.

The scene is horrifying at first glance.

But for Jiang Xia, the lethality is almost 0.

He grew up watching corpses. Even if they were paper corpses, they were still corpses...

Jiang Xia glanced at the middle-aged man's body and quickly settled on his calf.

There was a flat soul there, about the size of a palm, which looked very much like the common paper shikigami in various Onmyoji animations.

Jiang Xia only saw a similar one in the morning.

Unexpectedly, another one came right after.

In the classification of psychics, when a person dies, some people's souls will dissipate directly, while those with extraordinary talents can become ghost fetuses.

There is another one, somewhere in between.

——It’s like this paper shikigami thing.

Ghost fetuses usually have a relatively strong self-awareness and can remember what happened during their lifetimes. They are the most difficult to abduct, but also the most useful.

As for the leg-picking style in front of me, I don't have much consciousness, but my obsession is very strong.

Most of them act on instinct.

——If there is a corpse, the leg-snatching shikigami will grab the body nearby. Maybe it feels safer this way.

And if the body is gone, or if there is too much resentment towards the murderer, or if the soul was angry during life, they will capture the murderer.

Although the thinking of the leg-stewing shikigami is as simple as that of a single-celled organism.

But it is not easy to pick it up completely.

They must first let go of their resentment.

Whether it is a ghost fetus or a leg-stealing shikigami, their strength can be roughly distinguished by their delicacy.

——The clearer the facial features and the closer they are to what they looked like in life, the better the quality.

And those with vague facial features and only a little human shape are usually weaker.

At the beginning, Jiang Xia made a mistake in estimating Gui Ying's strength, and this was also the reason.

——The ghost baby was still a fetus before he was born. In the fetus, he looked pretty, but still very abstract.

Therefore, although it is of good quality, it looks close to what it was during his lifetime.

But precisely because it was so close to life, in Jiang Xia's eyes, it looked very vague, making it difficult to distinguish its strength from its appearance...

Although the ghost baby's eyesight was borrowed, his other senses were still there.

It felt the breath of the leg-picking shikigami, and couldn't help but move forward, trying to pull it off and bring it to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia waited and watched and found that although the shikigami shivering at the approach of the ghost baby, he still held him tightly.

The ghost baby pushed hard and accidentally tore it apart a little.

It paused, let go, and secretly ironed the torn area.

Jiang Xia sighed.

...Sure enough, it cannot be torn off with violence.

You still have to go through the process.

Jiang Xia stared at the stubborn soul and began to think about how to make it let go quickly.

As a prophet who has read the spoilers, Jiang Xia certainly remembers the case in the exhibition hall.

Affected by the financial crisis, the previous owner of the pavilion went bankrupt.

So he sold this exhibition hall to Boss Zhenzhong.

——Boss Zhenzhong is the unlucky uncle who was nailed to the wall in front of Jiang Xia.

Director Ochiai was depressed when he learned about this incident. He has worked here for many years and has always regarded the exhibition hall and the exhibits inside as his own children.

Fortunately, his former boss told him that Boss Manaka promised to continue the business. Director Ochiai was happy again.

However, the good times did not last long.

When the new boss came, he not only called the museum's contents shabby iron, but also said that he would demolish the exhibition hall and convert it into a hotel.

Director Ochiai listened, and the anger surged out of his heart.

In his eyes, Manaka became a devil - he wanted to destroy this sacred art museum and destroy other people's dreams for his own selfish desires. He deserved it.

Therefore, Director Ochiai devised a murder case in order to protect the exhibition hall that he had cared for for many years but did not belong to him.

Wearing faceless knight armor, he was waiting in the hell exhibition hall. Invite Boss Zhenzhong over and crucify him.

Then the old curator planned to use clever tactics to blame the incident on another employee, Kubota. Kubota usually doesn't pay enough attention to the exhibits, and even steals the exhibits and sells them off, which is not a good thing.

The killing techniques are very imaginative and quite artistic.

But it’s just too artistic. The boss Manaka’s blood splattered like a fountain. The blood stains are not as easy to deal with as imagined. If you think about the crime, you can guess where a lot of physical evidence was left.

So this time, Jiang Xia didn't worry too much about whether the case can be solved.

He was thinking whether he should use this case to improve his reputation as a famous detective.

Generally speaking, the identity, thoughts, etc. of the deceased will also affect the formation rate of ghost fetuses.

If he could become a famous detective and get more commissions from famous people and their corpses... maybe the number of ghosts he could pick up would also increase significantly.

When Jiang Xia looked forward to the future happily, before him, the ghost baby who was wrestling with the shikigami finally gave up.

After practice, the ghost baby has now confirmed that it cannot use brute force to pull off the shikigami.

If you tear it again, it will definitely break.

And it remembered that Jiang Xia preferred the whole thing...

In the end, the ghost baby could only return disappointed.

Jiang Xia glanced at the shikigami, who was much more haggard than before, and planned to call the police first.

However, just as he turned around, he suddenly heard some movement in the corridor.

——Several people walked towards this exhibition hall while chatting.

Listening to the voices, they were two young girls.

The sounds are all familiar.

Probably probably two of his classmates...

Jiang Xia silently glanced at the terrifying corpse next to him and the sword on the corpse.

I felt that if I followed the traditional routine, I should pull out the sword with a serious face at this time and look at the weapon carefully.

Then at this time, as soon as other people entered the door and saw Jiang Xia holding a sword and a corpse lying at his feet, they would shout in disbelief, You actually killed him! or something like that.

Jiang Xia should have responded with I'm not, I don't have you to listen to my explanation.

……Snapped.

Jiang Xia patted her face and shook off the strange thoughts.

It must have been a long time since I watched a high-quality TV series, and I actually wrote a script in my mind. It was still this kind of ancient bloody detective drama...
