i lied to the whole world

"Ranbu-jun, did you find anything?" Poe asked from the side.

"Come and take a look here." Luanbu pointed to their clothes and shoe soles. Poe looked at them for a few seconds, then sniffed the patient's clothes, and suddenly realized, "So..."

"Stop! Stop!" Luanbu stood up and waved his hands and shouted, "Master Luanbu hasn't read the information of the police station yet, you are the one who snatched it away! It doesn't count."

"Okay, okay, I'll show you this." Poe took out his mobile phone, switched to the gallery, and handed it to Edogawa Ranpo, who took it unceremoniously, and quickly flipped through the more than 100 photos inside. Then I brought up the map of Yokohama.

"Hmph, so that's the case, I understand."

The others looked at Edogawa Ranpo, and Atsushi Nakajima asked expectantly: "Ranpo-san, have you solved the mystery of this incident yet?"

"Yeah, Lord Ranpo already understands everything." Edogawa quickly drew a red dot on the map, then turned the phone interface over and showed it to everyone, "What do you think of when you look at this?"

Everyone came to look at it, and then looked confused, only Dazai seemed to have noticed something.

"To put it simply, the bodies of these people were placed in the deactivated seafood warehouse by the port."

"How do you know this?" Atsushi Nakajima asked subconsciously.

"In fact, the locations of these points are the places where the missing persons were last seen. It seems that there is no pattern, but almost two-thirds of the places have manhole covers, that is, sewer openings."

Poe helped to explain: "Then overlay the map of the underground waterway of the entire Yokohama with this map, plus the silt of the underground waterway on the shoes of these recovered people, and the fishy smell on their bodies, where they were before. I roughly understand."

Many of the recovered people were emaciated, and many of them had difficulty moving and their limbs were stiff. This is evidence that they had been lying in one place for a long time and could not move. Fortunately, there were no other sequelae.

Yokohama is a port city, and there are frequent floods and tsunamis in the Japanese island, which has also led to a considerable development of underground waterways. The reason why Po did not notice this before is that manhole covers are too common, and not one-third of the people There was no manhole cover at the place where he disappeared, and Xingluo Husheng had asked Shikigami to clean up the traces of the missing person after he left, so he ignored it.

But when the vanished reappeared, the possibility resurfaced, based on the mud on the soles of their shoes and the occasional fish scales on their sleeves.

As a port, Yokohama's fishing industry is naturally not weak. There are often many warehouses used to store seafood by the sea, and the warehouses are large and remote. This is why no one has found out where the missing people have gone before.

And the reason why they locked the location of the warehouse so quickly was naturally because the sewer outlet was of course also by the sea, coupled with the seafood warehouse, forced to rent out due to poor management and other conditions, they quickly locked the target.

Before Luanbu observed the silt and seafood smell found on the missing person, he roughly guessed the seafood warehouse, but he was not sure where it was. Coupled with the missing location provided by Shangpo, he quickly deduced the target location.

Minura immediately asked the police to rush to these possible locations, and everyone from the detective agency also boarded a police car to go.

Kunikida/Kunikida-san, you must be fine!

'Have you guessed it, you are worthy of being a detective. ' A sparrow perched on a pole, watching them go.

'Unfortunately, it's too late. '

Behind the Sparrow Shikigami, Litao browsed the phone page and smiled lightly.

Why put these people back, of course, is because the time has come.

This incident has already exploded on the Internet. After all, it is difficult to conceal the disappearance of nearly 250 people. When these 250 people returned collectively, the public opinion on the Internet has reached a peak.

About a third of them had not committed as many mistakes and had not endured as long a brutal punishment, so they went home and, because they were mostly young people, quickly shared the experience.

For a while, the hell girl quickly occupied the hot searches on various social software, and crazily swiped the screen with the vocabulary of monsters.

We all know that when a rumor expands to a certain extent, there will always be fools who believe it.

Of course, what they know is only monsters and ghosts, and maybe someone will search for the legend of slippery ghosts, but the core point of [Fear] is only known by the three parties.

The Port Mafia, the Special Agents, and the Detective Agency.

Among them, only the high-level cadres and leaders of the port mafia knew about it, and the supernatural secret service department knew more. After all, Ango was going to report to the high-level. With the guarantee of his supernatural power, many people believed this fact.

Naturally, all members of the detective agency know it, but it doesn't mean that everyone will believe it, such as Ranpo and Dazai.

Poe and the president believed some but not all of them. The former is a detective who is accustomed to questioning, and the latter is purely suspicious of people like Orihara developed over the years by partnering with a certain forest leader.

Even so, the fraud points are still a good harvest, because Bungo Stray Dogs is a group drama, and the points for everything that has appeared in the original work are very high.

The current fusion progress of the slippery ghost world: [410/500]

After half an hour, Edogawa Ranpo and the others managed to find the seafood warehouse, but there was no one there.

Of course, because Husheng Xingluo had let them go back a long time ago.

Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning is completely correct. Hosei Xingluo used scarecrows to control these resented people before, letting them come here obediently from the sewer, and then lie down. Shikigami will be responsible for cleaning up the traces they left behind, and responsible for During this month, they were fed glucose, but after the lie of hell was realized, Husheng Xingluo made the hell girl passively slow down, and the website could not be logged at all.

By the way, after Ango Sakaguchi reported the incident, the authorities also paid attention to it and dispatched a master in charge of network security. Unfortunately, he never saw the normal work of the hell communication network.

After the detective agency came here, Ranpo and Po found traces that the shikigami hadn't cleaned up, and they were sure that this was the warehouse they were looking for. If they asked people from the police identification department to help, they could also find evidence that there was a pile of clothes lying here. Heaps of ironclad evidence.

But it didn't work because Kunikida wasn't here.

"Could it be that Kunikida-san was retaliated against because we tracked down the Hell Girl?" Atsushi Nakajima put forward this conjecture with a pale face.

"It's hard to say..." Dazai sighed.

But this is indeed a possibility, that is, when they tracked down the murderer behind the Hell Girl, that person also noticed Kunikida and the others who tracked down the Hell Girl incident.

The evidence is that most of the missing persons went out of unmonitored places and disappeared, while Kunikida disappeared directly in place.

So according to the normal way of thinking, Kunikida may have more bad luck than good luck.

Just when the atmosphere of the detective agency fell into silence, Dazai's cell phone rang suddenly, and Dazai glanced at the caller with a strange expression: "Hello?"

"Dazai? Where are you all? I just returned to the detective agency, why did you disappear?"

"Kunikida-san?" Atsushi Nakajima keenly heard the voice coming from the phone, his eyes lit up, and he leaned in front of the phone, "Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine... I'm worrying you," Kunikida's tone softened quite a bit as if thinking about why everyone was not there, but the next moment he said seriously, "You guys go back to the detective agency first, I have important information , I found a way from hell to avoid Hyakki Yakuza from happening in Yokohama!"

Osamu Dazai's eyes froze: "We'll go back right away."

……

Two 10 minutes ago.

"Thank you very much for showing me hell." Kunikida said to the ghost lamp.

"It's okay, I'm going to patrol anyway." Ghost Lantern put his hands in his sleeves and said, "Go along this road, and you will be able to return to the present world."

At this moment they were standing on a trail, the sky was still gray, only a little light could be seen ahead of the road.

The ghost lamp said that this is the boundary between this shore and the other shore.

In the past few hours, Kunikida took a good tour of hell. The many hells and the sinners punished in hell are almost impossible to see. Basically, it is consistent with the folklore. The sinners judged by hell will be resurrected He has been tortured in hell, but good people will go to heaven after being judged.

The other thing is the system of hell, which is unexpectedly very advanced. According to the ghost lamp, their hell has been keeping pace with the times, and even many places in hell are no different from companies with excessive overtime. It is true that everyone is bald.

How should I put it, while feeling friendly, I also feel ridiculous. Kunikida was originally afraid of ghosts, but if he knew that the ghosts in hell are all like this, he probably won't be afraid in the future.

"Mr. Kunikida, if you are interested in hell, please consider staying in the post after you die. I appreciate your serious character very much." Ghost Lamp said.

Kunikida pushed his glasses, remembering the atmosphere of hell, and had to say it was really friendly, even friendlier than most companies, except they were almost 007.

"Thank you, I will consider it if I am not tortured in any hell after I die."

Ghost Lamp seemed to smile: "No, I believe Mr. Kunikida will go to heaven even after being judged. I have seen countless villains in hell, and I still have a way of judging people."

Kunikida was slightly taken aback, coughed uncomfortably, and when he got back, he probably wanted to write down the precautions he saw in hell, so as not to really go to hell in the future.

Of course, he will also give a backup copy to his colleagues.

"There is one more thing..." Kunikida hesitated for a moment, "I found out in the present world that the hell girl seems to be created by someone... I want to ask if the monsters may be created by human ghost stories, [Fear] and Do youkai really exist? If you use a city's [Ai] as bait, what will happen to the youkai?"

Maybe it's a bit strange to ask this question, after all, there are hells, so the existence of monsters is also a matter of course, he is still in hell, before he heard that Yuzao opened a shop in Zhonghe Hell.

But if he doesn't confirm it face to face, he still has doubts, because he remembered what Ranbu said before, you only heard about it from the beginning to the end, but you have never seen the hell girl.

Of course he'd seen it before.

Ghost Lantern looked at him quietly, and nodded: "It does exist. Monsters are born in ghost stories because of human [fear]. This is also the only thing that monsters can find in this world after the spiritual energy in the world has degenerated. Rely."

"Of course there are some monsters who choose to leave this world, such as Tamazamae in our hell, but she is a big monster, so she shouldn't look down on the increase of [Fear], but for most monsters, this is really worth a fight thing."

Kunikida's brows relaxed slightly, and the ghost lamp's rhetoric matched the intelligence agency and the man suspected of being the real culprit behind the scenes.

[450/500]

"Is there a way to stop them?"

Ghost Lantern fell into deep thought after hearing the words: "Generally speaking, monsters are creatures that do whatever they want. It is very difficult to control them, unless they are the masters of ghosts and monsters recognized by themselves, and onmyojis may be able to expel monsters."

"The Lord of Demons and Monsters and the Onmyoji..." Kunikida secretly wrote down this information.

"It's a pity that our hell can't interfere with this world in general, and can't help you."

"It doesn't matter, this is our business, we will definitely find the murderer behind the scenes." Kunikida said firmly.

"I wish you a prosperous martial arts."

Ghost Lantern watched Kunikida leave, and after he disappeared completely, he couldn't help curling his lips.

Turning around, the illusion on his body was released, revealing his true face.

Snow-white fox ears, a tail on the back, and a dark blue crescent moon on the forehead.

It is the fox born Xingluo in the demonized form.

Yes, it's still a lie, Kunikida didn't come to the real hell.

At the same time that the lie of hell was born, the accompanying hell girl was also born under the lie of Husheng Xingluo, and possessed her own personality. From the original Husheng Xingluo, she had many guesses about this, such as about him as the creator. Attitude.

The result was neither good nor bad. The hell girl was born as Husheng Xingluo wished, but this she is neither the personality in the drama, nor the cruel or sickly image in urban legends.

She is just a piece of pure white paper, like a real puppet. When Husheng Xingluo tentatively reaches out to her, she easily paints her thoughts and obeys Hushengxing. Luo's instructions.

In short, he is now a man with a daughter, or a demon.

The ability of the hell girl after birth is basically the same as that shown in the urban legend, giving the scarecrow and sending the resented to experience hell.

Well, it’s an experience, but because Husheng Xingluo actually made people disappear, most people defaulted to going to hell, so the ability of the hell girl is basically the same as the original book, that is, she pulls the rope and sends people down hell.

This is the real connected hell, not the fake hell created by Husheng Xingluo, but Husheng Xingluo banned her from using this ability after the hell was created.

Because it will attract the attention of ghosts and gods in hell.

Fortunately, Yan Moai doesn't care about this. Unlike the hell girl who has to work in the original book, although she has this ability, she can decide whether to fulfill her mission or not.

The idea of ​​letting Kunikida experience a day trip to Hell was a temporary idea after he had the help of Hell Girl.

It wasn't a temporary idea, because at that time he arranged for Orihara to also disclose information to the detective agency, so he had to find a way to get him out to prevent him from being really locked up in a dark room.

The reason why Kunikida is not someone else is of course because he is an honest person and easy to deceive.

The core purpose is still to prove the existence of [Ai] and monsters again, and the incidental purpose is to stop the 'hell communication'.

He has achieved his goal, and the "potential" in Yokohama has already been brewing. As long as the world of slippery ghosts is successfully integrated, his plan will also be launched accordingly. Therefore, there is no need to continue to maintain the uncertain factor of hell communication, otherwise, according to the current situation The popularity of Hell Girls on the Internet may actually cause hundreds of thousands of people to disappear a day.

At present, it is still 50 points away from world fusion...

How to earn the last 50 points, the seeds have been placed on the departing Kunikida.

Husheng Xingluo waited patiently. At this time, he suddenly remembered a plague spreading game he played in his previous life. As long as one person is infected and returned to the village, a red dot will infect countless white dots around it, until the entire village is infected. All turned into red dots.

This time his strategy is very similar, but his weapon is not bacteria, but language.

Not long after, the final fraud point finally moved.
