I'm afraid of non-human beings

The broken hand jumped up all of a sudden.

Lin You leaped forward with quick eyes and hands, firmly pressed her knee against the palm of this hand, and pressed a few fingers to the ground together.

But it didn't give up struggling.

Not only that, but the thumping became even more violent. Lin You almost put the weight of her entire body on it and was almost overturned.

That does not work.

Lin You thought.

It can't be really annoying.

This guy's favorite is-

"I can give you lots of shiny things!" she blurted out.

Severed hand: ...

Accompanied by a violent vibration, it quietly fell silent.

The direction is right!

Lin You immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"There are all kinds of things," she said in a persuasive way while trying to remember what crows like, "not only coins, but also glass marbles, metal pieces, even jewelry, only you can't think of it, and you can't get it without it." arrive."

She continued to fool around solemnly: "I only gave you this kind of treatment because of your good looks. Ordinary people—I mean ordinary hands, I haven't promised it yet."

The hand trembled slightly.

Apparently, it was shamefully moved, and was struggling with what little sanity it had left—if there was any "sanity" in one hand.

Lin You: "It's better to act than to be moved. After passing this village, this store will disappear."

Broken hand:! ! !

It jumped upwards with unprecedented strength. If Lin You hadn't reacted quickly enough to let go, he might have been thrown by it.

The severed hand also realized his negligence, and quickly stood upright, with five fingers spread out and then slowly falling down—if it was in human form, it would probably be a very gentlemanly bow.

Then, he immediately made an "OK" gesture and jumped up and down several times, as if he couldn't show his joy if he didn't do this.

When the joy finally calmed down, the severed hand maintained a slightly bent posture——

There was only one card lying flat on the spot.

coming.

Lin You raised the corner of her mouth and reached out to pick it up.

——The first card received after entering this level.

【Name: One Hand】

[Card number: 006]

【Level: R】

[Remarks: No one knows where it came from, only that it suddenly appeared outside a certain window of the school one day.Unexpectedly, he is an expert at picking doors and locks. He likes to crawl out every night to collect all kinds of shiny things, and treats the abandoned grand piano as his own treasure trove.Although he used to live in the piano, he can only play one song "Little Star" shamefully, and every note is out of tune. 】

... Then what is it called playing!

Lin Youxin said that this short-handed expert really performed stably as usual.

as well as--

Sure enough, she thought, although they were all forced to conquer before, now there is this example of severed hand, which is enough to prove that in addition to coercion to change cards, temptation is also a good choice.

She put away this somewhat commemorative card in a good mood, and hurriedly turned her head away.

It took some time to lure it to the bait, and if she wanted to rush to join Duke and the others, she would not have much time to delay.

Fortunately, the scope of movement of this severed hand is not far, and the music classroom is right next to it.Lin You took three steps at a time and made two steps, hurried over to lift the lid of the piano, grabbed the small paper bag, and helped to pack and take away the little belongings that the severed hand had saved up with great difficulty.

Walking out of the classroom door, Lin You turned her head to find out where she was going.

The direction they just left was——

Without further ado, Lin You immediately ran towards the end of the corridor.

She still vaguely remembered the map that Duke drew casually, turned the corner, walked through the connecting corridor, and turned all the way to the innermost corner, it should be...

... Lecture hall?

The player's physical strength is enhanced to a certain extent in the game by default, but Lin You is not one of those professions that rely on physical strength, so it is a bit difficult to sprint such a distance.

She held her knees and took a breath, and saw that the door not far away was indeed wide open.

Xia Zuo was leaning against the door with her arms folded, and it seemed that nothing happened during the short period of time she left.

The other party also saw her.

"Found something?" he asked with interest.

For some reason, Lin You always felt that this sentence was not as simple as it sounded at first glance.

"I found it," she said without any notice, "Thank you for your concern."

In a way, that's also true.

After all, she did go back to the music classroom to find the severed hand that didn't turn it into a card in time.

"What about your situation?" she asked.

Xia Zuo didn't speak, and turned to the side directly.

What caught my eye was a pool of blood on the podium.

Indistinct traces extended from the edge of the pool of blood, as if someone was seriously injured and still struggling to move forward.

Lin You's eyes followed the series of footprints all the way, and finally stopped at the first row.

There was a man—or rather, a corpse—sitting there, surrounded by Duke and the man who had just run to call for help.

Sitting there and dying was an ordinary young man, staring forward in disbelief, his entire face distorted, a dagger sticking out of his blood-soaked abdomen, and several other cuts.

At first glance, this appearance is quite scary, so it is no wonder that the man was so frightened that he ran directly to ask for help.

"If I were you," Lin You said, "I wouldn't be so relieved when I saw someone."

Man: "What?"

She pointed to the door, "Look at the shoe prints over there, it was obviously done by someone, the murderer may not have gone far."

Although only a little was stained, there was indeed a little shoe print on the edge of the table and chair near the door, which obviously belonged to another person.

If it was a ghost, there would be no murder weapon and footprints.

The soles of the shoes of the man who came to ask for help are very clean, and the possibility of him directing and acting can be temporarily ruled out.

Lin You suddenly remembered something.

"...serial killer," she said.

Duke raised his head at the sound.

"What?" he asked, frowning.

For some information, it is safer to share it than to only know it yourself.After all, on the other hand, if it is detected that only you know, Ann will be easily silenced.

——Although she is not afraid at all.

"Didn't I find newspaper clippings in the classroom?" Lin You said, "In addition to the Hanako news, there is actually another one."

"Recently there have been several murder cases, and the method seems to be the murderer back then. Some people have proved that he once haunted an abandoned school."

"If we say that the so-called abandoned school refers to this place, and that guy is still on this campus until now?"

Xia Zuo also walked over from the door, "I don't know which one is scarier, a murderer or a ghost."

Saying so, there was not much fear on his face.If Lin You hadn't believed in her eyes, she might have thought that she had misread the half-smile that flashed by.

But only for that moment.

As soon as Lin You became suspicious, she saw the other party looking over with her usual expression, and she simply turned her gaze away very naturally.

"Just finished solving the questions in the music classroom," Duke sighed, "Is there another pile?"

"'Double body' and the murderer hiding somewhere..."

Hearing his words, the man who buried his face in his hands in fear raised his pale face.

"Double body?" he repeated in a trembling voice, "You mean the 'double body'?"

Duke said "ah".

"That's what you think it should be," he said.

"If you want me to say, things have to be done one by one. Instead of worrying about this and that, it's better to act as soon as possible."

Lin You nodded, she agreed with this point - no matter what, half the victory is won if you seize the opportunity first.

"In short, there is no doubt that collective action is the safest right now?" Duke said, "Compared with the murderer who doesn't know where he is hiding, it is more important to continue investigating the 'Seven Mysteries'."

"you're right."

The man finally calmed down.

"My name is Wu Yufeng," he introduced himself, "I'm sorry to trouble you just now."

"No no," Duke waved his hand, "it's nothing."

"Let's discuss it, then," he said.

"Where to go next?"

"'Double body' and Hanako," Lin You said, "I tend to go to Hanako first."

Xia Zuo: "I have no objection—"

"Wait a minute," he said suddenly, "what's that?"

Following his gaze, Lin You also stopped speaking.

On the window they faced far away—

A horribly distorted pale face was squashed flat against the glass.

The hanged ghost met her eyes, and his lips moved silently, as if he was saying four words.

--Got you.
