A comic book, but a librarian

"Actually, this is what happened. A man died in his own home early this morning. We initially suspected that he was murdered, so we went around asking around to see if anyone saw any strange scenes or situations at the time. We hope this will help with the investigation, so we're sorry to bother you at this time."

Perhaps because he had seen clearly that Yukinoshita Yukino was a high school student, the slightly older policeman skillfully played the emotional card, hoping to inspire the high school student's sense of justice. He also did not intend to let Yukinoshita Yukino do anything, at least she would not suddenly turn hostile and cause something to affect their investigation. What people of this age need most is face, so he did not care at all and put himself in a low profile.

"Is that so? Who died and how did they die? Can you tell me?"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, her expression unrecognizable, and continued to inquire about the news. Compared to her painstaking efforts to find information whose authenticity she didn't know through various methods, the first-hand information compiled by the police would undoubtedly be much more useful.

"I'm sorry this is confidential, but we want to remind you that this murderer is not only cunning but also very cruel. If possible, please try to go out less recently and lock the doors and windows to ensure your safety."

After saying this, the policeman looked around Yukinoshita Yukino's home. The windows of this apartment were all equipped with iron anti-theft nets, so there was probably no need to worry about any intrusion such as climbing through the windows.

"I understand. I hope you can catch the murderer soon."

Hearing these words, the two policemen couldn't help but reveal the same expression, but it was only for a moment. Their helplessness was captured by Yukinoshita Yukino, and she probably understood that the police were probably at a loss as to what to do about this incident again.

"Then I'll take your good words. We have other things to do. Sorry to bother you. Goodbye."

Yukinoshita Yukino watched the two people leave her home. There were barely detectable fluctuations of spiritual power on their bodies. If they were not using some method to conceal their power, it would mean that they were most likely novices among novices, or ordinary people who knew just a little about the relevant situation. In any case, they were not ordinary detectives.

"It's better to rely on ourselves than on the Japanese police... Let's set up the things first. Even if someone wants to come in, they will have to suffer a lot."

Yukinoshita Yukino hid the gun on her body in the gap of the sofa. Although she was sure that the two policemen were fine, she still had to be on guard against them. In case they were controlled or something else happened, it would be too dangerous if she didn't have a suitable weapon. So she took the risk and hid the gun where she could get it at any time.

"Now we can only wait for them to pass away first. I don't know what kind of death they had that would make them care so much."

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed. She didn't even change her clothes. She was still wearing her home pajamas. Although it could be used as casual clothes, she still felt a little embarrassed.

Of course, she didn't plan to act alone, so what she needed to do most now was to wait for her companions to come after school. Before that, she was completely free, so she might make some private attempts...

……

"You've made up your mind, right? Otherwise, I'll be really angry."

Medusa appeared in front of Uesugi Cheng again. Although she looked like an ordinary woman covered in black, as long as he looked at her, it seemed as if he could see countless mouths ready to tear him to death.

"Since you, Madam, have given me the power to decide the outcome, I will naturally have to think carefully about it. Finally, I will ask you one last question...Are you really not going to decide it yourself?"

Uesugi Cheng asked, handing over everything he had to someone he had only met once. Uesugi Cheng asked himself if he could do that, so he was confused about Medusa's choice.

"Boy, according to the rules of this world, Medusa has already died. The one standing in front of you now...even I don't know who I am, so it's just right for you to decide. After all, you don't know what you are, right?"

Uesugi Cheng could only respond to Medusa's teasing with a wry smile. He did not have the same mentality as Medusa, so he spoke in a language that could not be more unique.

"May you have a merciful end, and a warm new life. Ancient being."

It was a language that seemed to be woven, and was called Night Soul Language.

[Night Soul Language]: If there are words in the virtual world; if there is a language used by the dead; if the moon's house has its own native language; it must be Night Soul Language. Even if all this is not true, it is still not a language that can be spoken in the daylight. Every word speaks of grief. As it says, read it, and then cry.

Chapter 443: What happens outside the door.

Medusa finally met her complete end. Perhaps living had become a burden for her, but Uesugi Cheng did not intend to think deeply about Medusa's thoughts. As long as she did not object to Uesugi Cheng's choice, he would use Yepoyu to bring her an end, just like he had presided over the funeral as a priest of the setting sun.

"Child, maybe I can't call you child, but I'm used to saying it... I'm about to die, but after that, I may be reborn, or maybe not. All these things are unknown, but you are different... You still have to find your ultimate goal alone in this world, so I wish you the best, and I wish you can find the final peace."

Medusa's words before her death made Uesugi Cheng nod silently. After watching Medusa pass away completely, Uesugi Cheng immediately returned to the hotel, picked up his luggage, and boarded the ferry without looking back. This time he stayed directly at the port closest to Branco Island, and then took the boat back to Branco without stopping, intending to never leave this island again in his life.

"Goodbye, my lord. It seems that you have already got what you need. Are you really not going to consider His invitation?"

Azita was the only one who came to say goodbye to him. Her stupid game with her archenemy Meinhad had come to an end. It no longer mattered who won or lost. They had already started preparing for the next wrestling and duel.

Of course, she was the only one who knew that Uesugi Sumire was leaving Budapest today, so she came to the port to see him off and try to keep him as per the procedure.

"No, I am very satisfied with my current job and salary, and I am preparing to continue to improve in this field. The colonel's invitation is certainly a good thing, but it does not match my current goals."

It was very official and even written words. Azita and Uesugi Sumiko lied with their eyes open without batting an eyelid. Anyway, both of them understood each other's thoughts and it was just a few pleasantries.

"Then we shall say goodbye. I hope I'll have the chance to visit Brancog Island again in the future."

Azita nodded. Her mission had been completed. She didn't want to care what would happen next. Medusa's death was bound to cause waves only in a small area, but this small area would probably give her a lot more work. After all, one of the duties given by the colonel was to suppress.

Uesugi Cheng got on the passenger ship, found his own single suite, then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Medusa has finally come to an end. Perhaps this is a little hard for some people to accept, but the thing is, if you really want to tell me something, please tell me, and don't write in such a cryptic way."

Uesugi Cheng sealed the envelope and prepared to have the mysterious female director deliver it after returning to Brancugr. He wanted to write a letter to that mysterious guy. Although he didn't know whether the other party would care, he was fed up with the riddles of this group of people.

"Forget it, let's go back over there and take a look. Ying, if the boat docks, remember to call me."

Uesugi Cheng lay on the bed and closed his eyes. In fact, if he didn't have to return to the real world, sleeping on a boat that could occasionally feel a slight shaking would be a very nice thing, just like lying in a cradle.

Himegami Sakura nodded while sitting on the chair. When Uesugi Cheng saw this scene, he happily closed his eyes, and his soul left his body and left the noon world.

……

"So someone is announcing a murder on some software, right? It sounds scary, but when I think about this in Tokyo, Japan, it doesn't seem like a big deal."

Uesugi Cheng said something that left everyone speechless. What made them even more speechless was that they found that they seemed to have no way to refute this.

"So what should we do now? Wait for you to come over and join us?"

Yotsuya Miko sent the message. It was just the end of school and they had already started packing up to go home. There were still many students in the school who were preparing to go to club activities in groups. Yotsuya Miko was standing by the window overlooking the downstairs, looking for a few people.

"No, you guys go first. I think you should be able to handle this kind of thing. If there is any dangerous situation, retreat immediately and tell me. I will handle it. Sooner or later, you will have to deal with these things yourself."

Uesugi Cheng planned to let them do it, on the one hand, they needed enough events to practice and grow, on the other hand, he really didn't want to move anymore today. As the saying goes, he was sleepy and tired, and it was time to take a break. The information shock of the past few days was too stimulating for a high school senior, and he needed to sort out his current situation.

"Let's make a fake body first. Being an evil spirit can be quite comfortable sometimes."

The gray-haired girl once again stepped on the land of Tokyo. The evil spirit of the girl who once destroyed a family in one night returned to Tokyo silently. Uesugi Cheng subconsciously moved her fake body, and then a set of clothes made of light appeared on her body, making her look like a high school student who had just finished school.

Several people who saw the message sent by Uesugi Sumire already had their own ideas. Yukinoshita Yukino took a look and saw that the police seemed to have completed the preliminary investigation of the scene. Although there were still a few people on duty on the floor where the crime occurred, it did not look like the defense would be too tight, so she planned to go to the scene to investigate. After all, she herself did not have much spiritual perception ability and relied entirely on those equipment she had rubbed out.

"I'll wait for you to come over. You should be able to feel whether it's a human being or an evil spirit or a curse that's committing the crime. I won't embarrass myself."

Yukinoshita Yukino was lying on the sofa, feeling sleepy again. She didn't sleep well last night, and was woken up by Haruno's phone call in the morning. She didn't have a good rest until the afternoon, and she felt tired.

"Forget it, let's go to sleep first. They should call us soon."

When this thought came to Yukinoshita Yukino's mind, she immediately went back to her bed and lay down, placing her cell phone on the bedside table so that the ringing could wake her up.

Of course, what she didn't know was that after she fell asleep, the talisman papers pasted around the house suddenly lit up, but soon dimmed again, as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, Yukinoshita, are you still alive?"

Yukinoshita Yukino opened her eyes with a frown. She was already a little impatient, but she finally picked up the phone, and that's what she heard.

"Alive, what happened?"

"You'd better go out and see for yourself."

Hikigaya Hachiman's voice sounded somewhat helpless, so Yukinoshita Yukino could only change her clothes and prepare to meet her classmates.

Chapter 444: Solo Infiltration.

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up her gun, put on a loose coat, and tucked the hand holding the gun into her sleeve. In this way, if the person on the other end of the phone was not Hikigaya but a trap to trick her into opening the door, she could immediately fight back. Even if it was an evil spirit, it would suffer some damage under the attack of the bullets attached with illumination magic.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino put her hand into her sleeves and put her finger on the trigger. Although she had not received enough professional training, she did not need any superb marksmanship. She just needed to aim at the muzzle and pull the trigger.

"Dong dong dong..."

She knocked lightly on the inside of the door three times with her fingers. If there was no response within five seconds, she would lock the door.

"Dong~dong~dong~"

Three slightly heavy knocks on the door responded to her. Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief, hung up the security chain and opened the door.

"Good afternoon, you look fine, how about taking a look at the floor?"

Hikigaya Hachiman pointed at the floor very calmly. Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to lower her head, but her eyes never left Hikigaya Hachiman who was outside the door. She had already clenched the gun in her left sleeve.

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed, as if something had touched Yukinoshita Yukino's sensitive nerves, and she was now in a state of paranoia.

Yukinoshita Yukino waited for two seconds, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the floor. A pair of bloody footprints suddenly appeared on the floor. The color of the blood was unexpectedly red, as if arterial blood had just spurted out.

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly patted her head helplessly. Why did she use such a metaphor to describe the colors she saw? She must have been led astray by these teammates.

After making sure there was no problem, Yukinoshita Yukino dropped the bullet, put the gun into her coat pocket, opened the security door, and began to study the strange footprints at her door with the people standing outside.

"Why are you all here? I thought it was just Hikigaya..."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Hikigaya Hachiman who picked up the camera and started taking pictures from various angles, Yotsuya Miko who was standing behind and seemed to be looking into the distance, and Kawasaki Saki who was crossing her arms as if thinking about something. Only after her teammates arrived did she feel the pressure in her heart relieved a little.

"After all, it's a classmate who's in danger, isn't it? And since such a vicious case has already happened, it's necessary to show some concern for your friends."

Yotsuya Miko combed her hair, her golden pupils looked particularly bright in the sunset...

Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head away. In fact, she didn't like to look Yotsuya Miko in the eye, because she always felt that Yotsuya Miko seemed to be able to see through everyone's heart, which made her feel uncomfortable, or it could be said that most people would not want to look Yotsuya Miko in the eye at the moment.

"There is a certain amount of resentment, and the flow of spiritual energy is not normal, but it is not to the point where it seems like an evil spirit is taking action. However, the pair of bloody footprints at the door of Yukinoshita-san are definitely caused by an evil spirit... No further action was taken because something was blocking it, right?"

Yotsuya Miko closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the golden color had dimmed, and her vision no longer seemed to be able to see through everything.

"The house downstairs does have a strong smell of resentment, and it does look like a haunted house, but it's not that scary. If they don't investigate anymore, we can purify it and treat it as an improvement to your living environment, Yukinoshita."

Saki Kawasaki nodded silently. The preservation technique taught her a lot of things, including making her realize that Yukinoshita Yukino's current condition was not very good. Although there was no external pressure, her self-factors were enough to make her slowly slide into collapse without guidance.

Saki Kawasaki was stunned for a moment. She looked at Yukinoshita Yukino seriously, then looked towards the corridor of the apartment.

"It seems that the other party has some very hidden means, which is enough to cause some bad things. Yukinoshita, come with me later. I want to help you check."

Hikigaya Hachiman put away his camera, and the three of them walked into Yukinoshita Yukino's house together. They had basically all been to Uesugi Sumire's house, so even though it was also a high-end apartment, they could feel the difference in an instant.

Compared to Uesugi Sumire's apartment, Yukinoshita Yukino's home has a more lively atmosphere, but she seems to have made some modifications to the house recently.

"Yukinoshita, you should have put the talisman on, right?"

Hikigaya Hachiman first checked the entrance. The talisman looked a little dim. He instantly knew why that thing was standing outside the door without taking the next step and finally left.

"Yes, has the spell been triggered? Did it target me so quickly?"

Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath, her face turned a little pale, but her tone remained firm without any change.

"I don't know, but it seems like there is something wandering around in the apartment. Yotsuya-san, did you see anything?"

"No, although there are traces of resentment and evil spirits, there is nothing strange in the apartment... If it was Acheng, he might have seen more."

Yotsuya Miko put on glasses. She now had to use some props to temporarily keep her eyes at a relatively weak stage. After all, just like Uesugi Sumiko said, the power in her eyes not only came strangely, but also increased day by day for no reason. She was afraid that one day her strength would not keep up and she would die directly from seeing things she shouldn't have seen.

"Indeed, Uesugi should have found the source by now. But even though we are not as powerful as him, we can't just sit there and do nothing. We can find a few opportunities to go into the room below and take a look. I can go there. I can find the way."

Hikigaya Hachiman thought about it and decided to put what he had learned into good use. As long as there was no powerful supernatural power in this place, no door or wall could stop him.

"…Take this gun and shoot any monster you see."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a while and simply gave the gun in her hand away. Kawasaki Saki brought her own weapon, and with her protection, there was no need to worry about safety. Hikigaya Hachiman, who was adventuring alone, obviously needed more self-defense items.

"Row."

Hikigaya Hachiman picked up the gun and bullets, walked out of Yukinoshita Yukino's house, and prepared to find an opportunity to sneak into the crime scene.

445

Chapter 445: Shaking talents is the right way.

Of course, Hikigaya Hachiman would not be so reckless as to run directly into an area that might be a dangerous area at first glance, so he chose...

"Uesugi, are you there? It's time to get up."

"Hikigaya Hachiman you better be okay, otherwise if you come back all the course materials will be doubled, as will the requirements."

Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his ears. He always felt that the voice on the other end of the phone sounded like a woman.

"We are about to enter the crime scene for investigation. I didn't see anything strange, but I always felt that something was wrong. And it seems that Yukinoshita has been targeted by someone, so I came directly to you for help."

"You're amazing! I was just trying to find something else to do..."

The beautiful girl with long gray hair stretched, picked up a few books and brought them to the cashier to pay. Uesugi Cheng controlled the fake body to buy the books in her hand.

"Just go ahead. I remember you have something with you, right? Keep communicating, and if anything happens, just crush that thing."

Uesugi Sumiko touched her cheek. The fake body felt exactly like the real one. He did not disguise the fake body, so anyone who was there would see that the horrible evil girl ghost who killed an entire family in one night was sitting on the road like an ordinary person, and even looked like a student who had just got out of school.

She whispered into her earphones.

"I've marked it. Someone will come to help you when the time comes. Don't worry."

The fake body just sat on the chair, and people coming and going completely ignored this beautiful gray-haired girl who looked like an elf, making her look out of place.
