Killer of this generation

It was night, under the purple sky before dawn, the two-storey wooden villa looked lonely and gloomy, the dark and closed windows were embedded in the dilapidated old walls, and there was no light inside.

It has been more than two hours since arriving here and observing the wooden structure of the villa. Illumi and Finette bent their knees and disappeared in the reeds not far away, which were as tall as half a person.

The breath was perfectly covered, as if it was about to melt into this purple-black chaos.

Finette stretched out her fingertips, and a row of words formed by condensed thoughts emerged on the fingertips.

'It turns out that you want me to accompany you to track down the clues of rabbit ears.However, are you sure that this dangerous building is the stronghold of those who attacked you last time? '

Because it is too dilapidated and lacks human atmosphere, it is more like an abandoned building with the word "demolition" written in red paint on the side.

In the darkness, he vaguely felt that Illumi frowned slightly, and he took out a piece of paper folded in four from his arms.

'There should be no mistakes in the information from the ridiculous investigation. '

Finette took the deeply creased printing paper. The handwriting and photos on it glowed faintly in the dark, and a special fluorescent agent was added to the printed ink.

'It turned out to be twins. '

Illumi nodded slightly.

'It was one of them that I caught a glimpse of last time, and they were supposed to be felons in the cheap well tower. '

'It should be! ? '

Finette said these words in surprise and confusion, before she could think of what she wanted to say, of course she only opened and closed her lips, and her vocal cords did not vibrate to make a sound.

Illumi's black eyes gleamed in the darkness, like flowing mercury, he leaned over to take back the printing paper and carefully put it away.

'Didn't you know that there was a major prison break in the cheap trap tower not long ago? '

Finette touched her nose, but she really didn't know.

She leaned over carefully, and Illumi put down the button-shaped pocket telescope, and she whispered in his ear: "Why did Ilumi act without telling the family?"

The family members should not tolerate the rabbit ear organization that slanders and slanders the business and reputation of the Hakkas. The current chairman of the family, Papa, will definitely give support, no matter the funds, no matter what it comes from.

Illumi ignored Finette's bad intentions of leaning over on purpose, and he stood up.

"Are you going to act?" Finette also got up, and she gently brushed off the damp and moldy soil.

Illumi jumped out of the reeds without looking back.

"Illumi," Faye

Nate called out to him in a low voice, "Be careful, according to the ridiculous information, the two twins, Brown, were sent to jail because of their extreme penchant for brutally dismembering beautiful creatures alive." Illumi, who turned to look at her with an expression on her face, gave him a meaningful wink and bumped into his shoulder, leaving him to dive in first.

Second floor attic.

In the darkness, two figures landed swiftly and lightly one after another. Although there was a thick layer of dust on the wooden floor, it was not lifted much.

"what!"

Finette, who had just landed, suddenly exclaimed, but fortunately, Illumi sealed her vocal cords with a needle in time.

Illumi angrily gestured at Finette around his neck to blame her for her recklessness.

Finette apologized repeatedly in embarrassment, but the scene that appeared in front of her at that moment just now was too horrifying.

Countless dark figures, high and low, filled this small space. Whatever she did, those figures followed suit. Every move was scattered and scattered. The terrified face was infinitely copied. It was dark and permeating. Big jump.

Illumi approached one of the walls, feeling a cold touch from his fingertips.

' is a mirror. '

Finette looked around, and the walls on all sides were covered with mirrors of various sizes, some of which seemed to be deliberately placed at a certain angle.

It turned out that she was frightened by herself in the mirror, she let out a deep breath, her violent pulse gradually calmed down, but such a weird room full of mirrors still made Finette feel depressed and uncomfortable, she remembered what she had done before In a nightmare, I stood in front of a mottled and dirty floor-to-ceiling mirror. The self outside the mirror shouted in horror, while the self inside the mirror smiled evilly, and brown blood oozes from the cracks.

Finette patted her cheek to remind herself to regain her senses.

"what happened?"

Illumi turned around and asked, a cold voice sounded from among countless phantoms.

Finette's eyes widened. Is he crazy? Why did he suddenly speak out!

"I guess the twins, Brown, were congenitally deaf."

Finette whispered suspiciously, "How are you sure?"

Illumi shrugged and turned around, not intending to answer Finette's question, he faced the mirror and pulled out a few nails from his clothes.

The stairs creaked and were overwhelmed, and even the banisters were replaced with copper materials that did not match the wooden structure but had a good reflective effect.

The phantoms of the two of them are either approaching or moving away

Of, front, back, side.

"I heard it's taboo to look in the mirror in the middle of the night," Finette complained softly, pouted, "you'll see dirty things."

The nails on Illumi's clothes could reflect a faint light from nowhere in such a dark light.

"Did you see anything unclean then?" He finally spoke up, although he didn't like being interrupted while working.

"Yes." Finette nodded seriously.

"where?"

Finette pointed to one of the mirrors, "Here."

Illumi was silent for a while, and then said solemnly, "I took a shower this morning."

He can't be regarded as an unclean thing.

"Can you change it," Finette bit her lip and struggled a little, "Uh...mimicry."

In terms of the shape of this Martian pineapple head, the word "camouflage" can't even be said.

"I use this disguise model very easily." Illumi tilted his head in confusion.

"You'd give the twins a heart attack."

"Impossible, I'm not a beautiful creature now, but just an ordinary person." Illumi answered immediately.

When Finette reached out to unscrew the wooden door leading to the first floor, she turned her head. She didn't know whether to focus on the "beautiful creature" or the "ordinary person" in the next sentence.

After a long time, she coughed, "So you know you are beautiful."

"Well, I know." There was no delay at all in her usual steady voice.

Well, really self-aware, she surrendered, admiring.

"Then, ordinary people, you take the lead." She made a gesture of invitation.

Entering the space on the first floor, even though there was still no sense of popularity, the tense atmosphere came in an instant. Both Illumi and Finette were silent and entered the state by coincidence.

No matter what, she felt that it was an abandoned house without anyone, but Finette still did not relax her guard. After all, she was an intruder, so be careful.

To the left is a fireplace with a chimney, and the surrounding baffles, as well as the ceiling a few feet above the head, are black and yellow with smoke.The hearth was full of charcoal ashes and unburned firewood. It was midsummer, and the fireplace had probably been left unused for a long time.

Finette made a gesture to Illumi and told him that the fireplace with the chimney had been sealed by someone, that is to say, even if one wanted to build a fireplace on a hot day, the carbon dioxide would not be released.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, so simple that it can be described as nothing, except for two sofas facing each other in front of the fireplace with mottled cortical surface peeling off to reveal the cotton wool and springs inside, a dirty dark red carpet and Apart from the two pairs of tall boots of similar size placed in the northwest corner of the room, there are only mirrors, large and small.

Mirror, mirror, mirror, what are you doing with so many mirrors?

The second floor is the attic, which is full of dust. Except for the narrow corridor through the door on the first floor, there is only this large space. There are no bedrooms, no bathrooms, and no kitchen. The twins they are looking for, Brown, are missing in the whole house.

Finette wiped the armrest of the sofa. It was very clean and there was no dust on it.The two pairs of high boots by the wall were not stained with dust either. She picked up one of them to check, and the soles of the boots rustled down to the still damp soil.

There are traces of human activities, but no breath of life.

Illumi stood in the middle of the room with his chin propped up, and he was also confused. At this moment, he couldn't feel the breath of anyone other than him and Finette.

"here!"

Finette waved at Illumi, who was leaning on the edge of a certain mirror and looking through the gap.

"A little bit of light, isn't it?" she said to Illumi.

Illumi's jaw made a slight clicking sound, which meant that there was a dark room inside.

So, should we rush in rashly? Finette suddenly felt that the situation was reversed, and their next actions became very passive and prone to danger.

She looked at Illumi uneasily, but Illumi's stiff purple-brown ugly profile full of nails didn't reveal to her the slightest bit of his thoughts.

The coldness of the mirror is transmitted from the fingertips to the nerve endings. As long as you scratch the smooth mirror surface with your nails, it will make a sharp noise that makes your skin crawl.

Illumi stood up straight and stared at the mirror for a while.

"How to do?"

Finette couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Illumi turned his head stiffly mechanically one frame after another, and then turned his head stiffly mechanically one frame after another, and then he reached out and pulled a nail out of what seemed to her a deformed face.

The nails get rid of the centripetal force and fly high into the air.

All around, in countless mirrors, there are countless nails jumping up into the air, reflecting an arc of light in the strange darkness.

Ding da————

The nail with the round end at the end fell after three seconds, and the impact made a faint sound on the wooden floor

Then, it rotates in situ with the round head at the end as the center of the circle, until the tip of the needle stops and points in a certain direction.

It was too late and then too soon, Illumi kicked up at an extremely fast speed, kicking the unusual mirror into pieces, and in an instant, the dim and dazzling light from the dark room behind the mirror illuminated the space on the first floor.

The fragments of the mirror were scattered all over the ground, turning into more and more fragments of reflection sources to refract more light.

"Illumi, look!"

Finette exclaimed.

The darkroom is positioned about half a meter above the horizon of the space on the first floor.

After following Illumi in embarrassment and climbing up to the floor of the so-called dark room behind the mirror, Finette realized that it was just another airtight space with four walls studded with mirrors and simple decorations about ten square meters in size.

A safe stood against a mirror, on which was a lit kerosene lamp, and the dim yellow shadows of flickering wicks in countless mirrors.

He and her, and them lying on the ground.

Finette wrinkled her nose and looked away.

The thick bloody smell, the damp musty smell, and the pungent smell from burning kerosene lamps filled this narrow space.

Illumi glanced at her vaguely, "Not used to it?"

Finette looked up at him with a confused expression.

So, he added, "For this kind of scene."

Obviously, he is the one who has been hanging around Meteor Street to survive.

"Meteor Street is not the Colosseum," she said unhurriedly after understanding what he meant, "Besides, your grandma doesn't lack anything."

Illumi knelt down and put his hand lightly on the neck of one of the corpses.

"died?"

Obviously, Illumi said "En", "The corpse is still warm, and the corpse spots only appear on the shoulder blades waiting for support. It is humid and high temperature here, which affects the rate of temperature drop of the corpse to a certain extent. affected."

Therefore, the time of being killed cannot be accurately calculated.

"But it is certain that the Brown twins were killed by someone in the two hours after we got here, before we even tried to ask anything."

She and Ilumi have been watching the house in the reeds not far away, and no one came out of it.

Finette also approached and squatted down.

The two weather-beaten faces with the same appearance and unshaven beards, except for their relatively intact faces, the pair fell to the ground

The twins on the bed were covered with dense bloodstains all over their bodies, which criss-crossed like spider webs. The extremely slender wounds were deeply embedded, and even when you peeled the edge of the wound and peeked in, you could see the white bones.

Sharp, thin, sharp, fast.

"It's too late to defend, and there's no mercy for intensive attacks all over the body." Finette turned her head, "What hurt you like this? And who did it?"

It's not like it's caused by ordinary weapons.

However, Illumi stood up silently and approached the safe standing opposite him. He raised his right hand and gently knocked on the metal door of the safe, and the safe responded with a dull thud.

Through the surrounding mirrors, Illumi can know every move that happened behind her without turning her head. Finette has already searched the two corpses, but she didn't find any valuable clues, so she kicked them unwillingly. A dead body kicked.

"Finette guess what's in this safe?" Illumi's cold voice seemed to bring a chill to the cramped and hot space.

"Huh?" She also learned to knock on the safe door, "It's important that ordinary people can't touch it."

"What's that?" Illumi expected some unexpected answers from Finette.

"The secret of the rabbit ears?" Finette lowered her head and thought.

"Why can't it be some part of the beautiful creatures they have treasured?" Illumi stared at her with dark and deep eyes, and was so serious for the first time, "Or, Finette prefers that it is The secret of the rabbit ears?"

Inexplicably, the atmosphere fermented slightly.

"Forget it. You didn't find the key to the safe?" Illumi immediately poured a basin of clear water on the inexplicable atmosphere that was growing, and it seemed that he had returned to a normal state.

"Uh... I didn't find it." Finette replied in a trance, it wasn't a hallucination just now, but what was it, there was a kind of panic about being dragged into the scorching sun to reveal itself.

Illumi turned his head and stroked the keyhole on the safe with his fingertips.

"Can't it be destroyed by external force?" Finette asked.

"No. Only with matching keys. We used to have this kind of safe in our house."

Wouldn't it be ridiculous to store important things in cupboards in a world of reading people using safes for ordinary people, specially made safes that can only be opened by a single key.

He remembered that Qi Ya used to play CDs of some midnight premium channels before, and then acted arrogantly.

"Let's go."

Illumi turned around

Even if I leave here, I will gain nothing today, and the clue is broken.

"Wait for Ilumi," Finette called to Ilumi who was about to jump down, "I think I have a way."

Finette sat down on the ground and took out the tools from her handbag. She said that the tools were actually a box of powder, a pinch of armor knife and a key with a wide, flat body without too many jagged edges. Previously, Beisha was stored at the front desk of the Sky Arena, the key to the hot spring locker attached to the Sky Arena.

Finette thought to herself, there is no other way, so let’s just make do with it and try, maybe her luck will be better.

Illumi came over and quietly watched her skillful technique.

Finette filled the body of the key with a fine layer of powder, not falling anywhere, and after a while, the original silvery metallic luster turned into a milky white that exudes a feminine fragrance.

"Yoxi!" A smile spread across her cheeks.

After glancing at Illumi triumphantly, she took a deep breath, carefully aligned the processed key with the lock hole, and inserted it horizontally and straightly.

It was originally just the key of the hot spring locker, and the serrations were so simple that they could be ignored. It didn't hinder it from entering into the keyhole of another slightly larger safe that didn't match.

Finette cautiously took out the key to the end in a straight and horizontal way.

call--

Finette touched the sweat on her forehead, "Look!"

There is a zigzag mark on the key, which is the side view of the lock hole of the safe. That is to say, if the sawtooth of a certain key matches this mark, then this key can be matched with the lock falcon. bite together.The answer is ready to come out, and the lock of the safe can be opened.

Finette began to pick up the armor rubbing knife and sharpen it patiently along the mark, vigorously but not violently.

"So that's how it is." Illumi's tone was full of sudden realization.

"We should be thankful that the key body of this key is originally wide and flat without too many serrations, otherwise there is no way."

Finette concentrated on the work at hand, while Illumi watched quietly from the side.

The rustling sound of filing seemed to be constantly reflected by the mirrors, entrenched in this narrow space.

"Hey, Illumi." Even though she had to concentrate on the meticulous work at hand, Finette still couldn't bear the silence of the two of them alone at this moment, as if Illumi beside her didn't exist.

"How do you know they are congenitally deaf?" She broke the silence and raised the question again.

"Oh," Illumi

He leaned against the mirror behind him, and his long black hair fell to the ground, "I found the doorbell line that was ripped off in the electrical distribution box in the corner of the attic on the second floor. I dismantled it and threw it aside. Later, when I recalled the scene of the sneak attack at that time, I found that even after being punched by me, I didn’t make a sound. There’s no way such a tough guy.” Illumi tilted his head, “There are so many mirrors. In addition to the level, it is inlaid with various angles," he pointed, "I guess, they may be deaf, and rely on the reflection of these mirrors to detect every move behind them."

"Oh... a mirror that replaces the ears." Finette nodded, "Then, why is it congenital?"

It could also be an acquired hearing loss.

Illumi turned her head, and looked down at her with dark and misty black eyes without blinking, "Huh..."

"'Huh' what!"

"That was just talking nonsense to increase the effect, I thought you wouldn't pay attention to this." Illumi complained all wronged.

"Uh...Okay." Finette held her forehead, and then she raised the almost formed key to the kerosene lamp, "Well! It's almost there!"

The lock body slid in without hindrance, turned slightly to the right, and the slight spring vibration showed that the lock falcon and the lock teeth were perfectly engaged.

cluck——

The safe was opened.

Finette swallowed, and glanced at Illumi.

"Go ahead and open it."

The author has something to say: Looking back now, the first part of "Rabbit Ears Banquet" was very badly written. There was basically no adjustment of the scene and the atmosphere. It was scum, so I was afraid to write emotional scenes (just focus on the dialogue between two people) The part other than the action is fine), but the part other than the emotional drama is the starting point of this article. I think so.

I hope this writing is better than before.
