[Spirit of Halberd] grows inward

?07. The seventh mermaid

In a dark room, with dull lights, the suffocating air seems to be attached to the body, sticky and refusing to flow.A slight wind came in through the crack of the window, and the cold temperature wet Isshihui's sleeves with dampness. She listened carefully, and there was the sound of pattering rain outside the window.The wind blew past, causing the rain to slant, and the monotonous rhythm made people drowsy.

The folded umbrella was put aside, and Yishihui lowered his eyes to see that the water drops quietly slid down the black cloth of the long-handled umbrella, gathered on the floor, and quietly bloomed into a miniature lake.The sharp umbrella tip is like a sharp blade, exuding a quiet and strange light in the dark, and Yishihui felt that it seemed to be smiling at him in a trance.

Walking into the house, the door behind him was closed with a click, and Yi Sehui's eyelids twitched at the soft sound of closing the door.

Looking around, this is a small room that is extremely simple and can even be called shabby.The curtains were drawn, and the room was pitch black. A long table that could occupy most of the room was proudly placed in the middle of the room. On the table was a desk lamp with an uncomfortable light intensity.There were two chairs on one side of the long table, and one on the other. The atmosphere of confrontational interrogation was immediately created by this simple difference in quantity.

After living for so many years, Yishihui came to the interrogation room for the first time, and the reason was that the police wanted to know about Selena from him.

Sitting in her own seat, even the calm and gentle Yisehui was beating drums in her heart at this moment.I have to admit that the words they said when they came to his house just now left the aftermath of the bombing in Yisehui's heart.Although Yishihui suspected that Selena was doing something behind his back that he didn't know about, she still didn't want to believe that Selena would really kill people as they said.

Selena is a mermaid girl from the deep sea, and has never been in contact with this bustling and complicated land world—let alone killing people, Selena may not even be able to communicate with people normally...?Selena has been able to speak normally until now, and when I think about it carefully, it has only been a short period of more than a month.

Yisehui didn't understand at all. The police | suspected Selena's starting point. Besides, Selena had no communication with others at all.

I don't know if it's out of short-term protection or something else, but Yisehui can't accept this strange hypothesis anyway-of course, it is necessary to listen to their opinions and evidence.

The police officer on the left smiled and nodded gently, but the emotion in his eyes had the taste of spying on secrets: "Please don't be too nervous, we are only in the investigation stage at present, you just need to cooperate with us."

Yisehui raised her eyes to meet their gazes, and calmed down completely: "I understand."

Because Yisehui was not the prisoner being interrogated, the desk lamp was not aimed at Yisehui's face, but played its own role, exuding a soft light to quietly and intimately illuminate the police officer who was taking notes.The two police officers on the opposite side, one is in charge of questioning, the other is in charge of taking notes, and there is a recording pen at hand, which divides the work reasonably to ensure efficiency without making them feel rushed.

"First of all, I think we need to explain something to you," the police officer pushed a few photos in front of Yisehui, "There were three dead, one was Miss Haruko—I think you must be more familiar with us than we are; One is Mr. Yuan - he is a well-known local gourmet, and it is said that he has a tongue with a very good sense of taste; the other is Ms. Ito - she is a makeup artist with superb makeup skills. She's here as a makeup consultant."

Yamaki Haruko Isshihui knew her. A few days before her accident, Isshihui even had contact with her at a banquet.When he first heard the news of Yamaki Haruko's death on the news, he still felt that the world was impermanent and made people fool. Mr. Yuan, Isshiki Hui didn't know each other, but his reputation is well-known in the culinary world. As long as he is a chef, he probably doesn't People who don't know him; Miss Ito, Isshiki only heard about it a little, and only knows that she is a powerful woman, that's all.

Could it be that in just a few days, these influential figures have all died one after another?Yisehui thought secretly, feeling a little terrified.

"These three have almost nothing in common except for being famous and having outstanding abilities in certain aspects. The time of death is also irregular. Some died in the morning and some died in the daytime. They should have been separated into three separate piles. Ordinary homicide cases, but..." The police officer who narrated the case paused, "The way they died forced us to link these three cases together."

How to die?A slight doubt floated in Yisehui's eyes.

"When they died, they were all missing an organ or a part of their body—Ms. It was taken away while alive. The most important thing is that when the murderer dealt with it, he did not use a knife or other murder weapon, but..."

Yishihui pursed his lips, and the words that the police officer uttered next sent chills down his spine.

"--teeth."

The wind seemed to become more ferocious as the voice fell, and the sharp sound that passed through the glass window and expanded in the eardrum was like the mournful cry of a ghost.Yishihui gathered her clothes subconsciously, held her own cold hands, trying to give herself some strength and little warmth in this way.

"As I said just now, the murderer used his extremely sharp teeth to tear off those parts, causing the deceased to bleed to death. This is what happened. As for the specific details, I have no comment."

Throwing so many bombs all at once, the smart and self-sufficient Yishihui didn't rush to speak, but digested the terrible news in his mind without saying a word.From the method of death to the identity of the deceased, Yisehui searched for useful information that could be used in his mind, while organizing his words and asked calmly: "I understand the situation, but why do you suspect Selena?"

Yisehui doesn't think Selena has anything to do with these people, because Selena doesn't even know them.

"Miss Haruko died in the middle of the night, and there were no witnesses; but Mr. Minamoto and Miss Ito were both witnessed to have had a good conversation with Miss Selina before their deaths, and they were all within the day before their deaths. The police officer looked at Yisehui's absent-minded expression, "I don't think there should be such a coincidence in this world."

Selena had a great chat with them...?

Selena, who has never had much contact with humans, had a good chat with them? !

Yishihui knew that Selena had something to hide from her, but she didn't know that Selena actually concealed such an important matter, which was so important that several lives were involved.

It seems that something originally solid in my heart is gradually disintegrating, and it is in danger of crumbling.

Not to mention the police officers dedicated to the investigation of the case, even Yishihui himself did not believe that Selena just appeared beside the dead at just the right time.

There are many secrets in Selena that Yisehui doesn't know about. I thought these insignificant things have now become the fuse to destroy Yisehui's unreserved trust in Selina.Lowering his eyes, his brain began to think quickly, and the bright lights suddenly jumped into Yisehui's brain as if they had been opened by someone.

Selena, who could not speak before, suddenly became able to speak. Selena, who had never been picky about Isshihui's dishes, began to point out the shortcomings of Isshihui's cooking. Applying a bright blood red to her tender lips... Since when did Selena experience so many subtle changes?

— from this month.

The things that had been forgotten in my mind at the beginning became clear little by little, and the pitiful appearance of the cat whose internal organs had been eaten came back to my eyes. Focused too much to hold any foreign objects.Her innocent and clean appearance, her curious eyes like a child's, the incomparably cute smile on her lips... Looking at it now, it is extremely ironic.

Yisehui felt very sad.

It was as if someone had suddenly stabbed him severely.

And the person who stabbed him and made him so painful that he couldn't even cry out was one of the most trusted people in the world.

The gorgeous flowers withered and withered rapidly, and the dark black petals withered all over the ground in the night, paving an endless road to hell.Walking down this road, Selena is wearing a red bustling and complicated dress, and the heavy makeup adds a touch of enchanting style. The original innocence is gone, and she looks like a proud mermaid queen.

Yisehui stood on this road and looked at Selena from a distance. The strangeness in his eyes was a double-edged knife that hurt both sides.

Selena's mouth curled into a faint smile, and she held a cold dagger in her right hand.She raised her left hand without a knife, gently and slowly, maintaining her own elegance, put her fingers on her lips, and licked it with the tip of her tongue alluringly, as if she was tasting an extremely delicious dish delicacies.

The sharp teeth reminded Yishihui something.

Under the scrutiny of the police officer, Yisehui's heart sank little by little.

****

at the same time.

In the spacious living room, the decoration is low-key and luxurious European style.A man in his prime was sleeping on the sofa. He was motionless, and if it wasn't for his chest heaving a little, he would be no different from a corpse.In the deep shadows, Miaoman's figure came out from the kitchen, and it could be recognized from the voice humming a little tune, it was Selina's voice.

Selena turned on the flashlight she brought, and purposely turned the light down very weakly, as if Yi Sehui looked at her with eyes full of tenderness in this world.The high heels raised Selena's height by more than a little bit, and the long skirt bifurcated from the calf to the thigh, revealing a large piece of white skin that was looming.

He lifted up the skirt casually, but under such a dress, it was still too difficult for Selena to squat down.

There was a look of intoxication in the empty pupils, Selena bit her lower lip, and stared obsessively at the man's hands hanging at the side.The fiery madness burned up little by little, the longing in the heart was ignited, and the feeling of hunger burned the stomach wall, as if it could burn Selena's nerves controlling her behavior in the next second.

Taking off the obstructing high heels and gently putting them aside, Selena knelt down by the sofa, closed her eyes and held his hands, and took a deep breath, the fragrant aroma stimulated Selena to hardly bear it. Bite right into it—but no, no.

Selena told herself silently in her heart not to be so anxious, licked his fingers regretfully, then put down her hands, got up and walked to the kitchen, and took out a bunch of seasonings - soy sauce, salt, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, Cooking wine...all kinds, those that can be eaten directly and those that can't be eaten directly, all of them were made by Selina.

After mixing the seasoning that she thought was suitable in just the right proportion, Selena picked up the brush and carefully applied it on the back of his hand, not letting go of the tiny gaps between the five fingers.The coquettish sauce was poured on the back of the flesh-colored hand, and the delicious aroma mixed with the aroma of the human body penetrated into the nose and stirred Selena's nerves.

I couldn't bear it anymore, the sound of rushing blood was the most pleasant sound in the world, Selena had a fascinated smile on her lips, and patiently licked his fingertips little by little.The tongue curled around the front of the fingers disobediently, and the teeth on the upper and lower gums slowly closed together, rolling them gently.

Selena's movements were as gentle as if she was treating her most precious lover.

The force on the teeth gradually increased, and the originally flat teeth suddenly became sharp.As Selena's eyes widened suddenly, her mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood.Fresh blood slowly flowed into the mouth, and the sweet taste made Selena involuntarily make an excited, beast-like sound from her throat.Selena was addicted to the strong and indigestible taste. The intricate meridians lay between the mouth and tongue, and the hard bones couldn't resist the sharpness of the teeth.

The delicious meat made Selena gradually lose her rationality. The delicacy in her mouth was unstoppable. Selena was almost lying on the edge of the sofa, and her deep pupils became vertical pupils unique to reptiles.

The nails growing out of both hands were inserted into the other's flesh, and the sound of bone shattering broke into Selena's eardrums along with the sound of tearing flesh, but this had no other effect except to make her more excited.

The severe pain caused the other party to wake up with a cry of pain from the deep coma. He opened his eyes in a half-bewildered state, but was speechless by the scene in front of him: Selena, who seemed to be only in her teens. Kneeling beside him with long, soft hair, she held his hand gracefully, her confused expression looked innocent and innocent.It should have been a beautiful picture, but the hand dripping blood in his mouth made him subconsciously let out a scream of fear from the bottom of his heart.

Pain and fear burned from the nerve endings, sweeping all thoughts in the body.

"what--!"

He screamed and wanted to save his hand from Selena's mouth, but his fingers were firmly held in his mouth by Selena's teeth, and he couldn't move even a little bit no matter how hard he tried.Like when he was drowning, powerlessness and panic took over his thinking, and he subconsciously began to kick Selena's body with his other weapon——foot.

There was blood that didn't belong to Selena's mouth, and her lips that were originally pale but now stained with blood stains looked coquettish and mysterious.She stared at him who was dying and struggling expressionlessly, as if he didn't feel any pain and remained motionless—exactly the same as when a lion chases its prey, quietly following behind and keeping a certain distance, not in a hurry to kill the prey, but Enjoy the despair and fear of the other person's dying moment.

Come on, scream, struggle, your fearful voice will add an unbeatable seasoning to this delicious dish☆.

The cold wind blew coldly on his forehead, and all the heat on his body turned into cold sweat, his back was wet, and all the clothes he was wearing were sticking to his back.The panic of seeing a monster and the sense of powerlessness that seemed to know that there was nowhere to escape were like a huge hand, grabbing the heart fiercely, and there was nowhere to escape.

but……

Don't want to give up!No matter what you don't want to give up!How can you die in such a place without any reason! !

The thought of survival unearthed the hidden energy deep in his body, he let out a hoarse scream from the bottom of his throat, and threw his body straight towards Selena, choking her fiercely with his only remaining hand. Selena's neck - this process was completed without any muddle in the water, and if the stuntmen were to score it, it would probably be able to score full marks.

The other hand was still in Selena's mouth, but as a normal man, one hand was enough to suppress this weak girl.he thought so.

Selena was pressed under him like this, her slack pupils were not focused, but her lowered eyes seemed to be fixed on his hand.There was no movement or struggle, so that it looked like Selena was the poor girl who was being bullied—his heart trembled violently, and he increased his relaxed strength again.

If he hadn't been deceived by her pure appearance and the sentence "I want to cook for the person I like", he would never have anything to do with this monster!

Never be fooled by this monster again!

The killing intent suddenly arose, but before she could react, Selena suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, her lips curled up slightly with her finger in her mouth, forming a nice and strange arc.Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind hit from behind his forehead, and the sharp pain almost shattered his skull, causing him to collapse to the side immediately holding his head in pain.His vision was a little blurred by the tears, and he managed to take a closer look. Selena's shining hands were a pair of beautiful high-heeled shoes.

The transparent crystal high-heeled shoes have a thin and long heel, which is enough to cause the same effect as a dagger as a weapon.

Selena finally let go of his hand mercifully, groped the ground and stood up looking down at him, tilting her head, with a smile on her face that was still innocent, if you ignore the blood on her lips: "Know why I Don't kill you?"

He was lying on the ground, the rapid loss of blood and the feeling that his body was getting cold told him that he was going to die soon.

"Because you told me." Selena narrowed her eyes with a smile, very happy, "Food must be eaten while alive to taste [-]% delicious☆~"

With the tail sound falling, it is transparent, sharp, high-heeled shoes that can sink into the muscle tissue.

Once, again, the sound of flesh and blood mingling echoed in the living room, together with Selena's uncontrollable laughter.

"Hahaha--"

"Such a delicacy, let me devour it all—!"

Selena held her face, looked intoxicated at the pair of knuckle hands, once again, bent down deeply in a pious posture, bit and licked lightly, and then turned to swallowing greedily in the final gulp.

I want to devour everything in this world... eh.

The white lightning that crawled outside the window illuminated Selena's elegant and beautiful face.

****

After returning from the police station, Yisehui sat in the living room of her home for a long time.The chaotic brain had completely calmed down at this time, and Yishihui began to sort out the causes of everything with her excellent analytical ability.It cannot be denied that all the turmoil and weird things happened after Selena appeared, even if Yishihui wanted to excuse her, it seemed powerless.

What's more, he himself felt from the bottom of his heart that Selena was the cause of these things.

The originally peaceful world was turned upside down, and it was probably all his own fault for bringing Selena home.Or going back to earlier times, could it be that if he hadn't gone to the beach and drowned, he wouldn't have met Selena, let alone brought Selena home by mistake?However, these assumptions and ifs are meaningless now that things have already happened.

If you have time to think about the sentence starting with "I didn't...", it is better to concentrate on finding a way to solve the problem at hand.

Yishihui leaned on the sofa, pinching her brow with a headache.The heavy fatigue was like a heavy blow to the heart, and Yishihui had never felt so powerless.The strength in his body seemed to be sucked away by a magnet. If it wasn't for the thought of waiting for Selena to come back, he might have already returned to his room and fell asleep.

The door was opened, cold air poured into the room, and Selena, dressed in white, came back wet.

Selena greeted Yishihui as usual, and was about to enter the room with a smile. She looked no different from the lady who had gone out for a stroll.Yishihui ignored Selena's greeting. He was still sitting on the sofa. At this time, he had stood up and looked at Selena with burning eyes: "Where have you been?"

Selena paused, turned around, and said Yishihui's words with a normal expression: "I went to swim in the sea."

The beating frequency of the heart in his chest was so fast that he could hardly control it. He clenched his fists to suppress his burning disappointment and anger, and Yi Sehui's expression hardly changed: "How long do you want to lie to me?"

"I can't understand what Mr. Isshiki is saying." Selena had an elegant smile on her face, and at this moment it looked like a complete mask, which made people feel extremely annoyed.

"You killed people," Yisehui closed his eyes, and said his almost certain conclusion, "You killed a lot of people. And you just came back after killing people."

"...Really..." Selena was silent for a while before she opened her mouth lightly, "Mr. Isshiki really knows how to joke."

Opening his eyes again, Yishihui's eyes were clear: "There is a bloody smell on your body that hasn't been washed off."

Never to be lied to again...never again.

Selena, who seems to know nothing, is not a mermaid girl from the deep sea.She is far from the mermaid princess in the fairy tale who dedicates herself to love—the mermaid princess dedicates her voice and soul to the one she loves, while Selena does it for her own selfish desires , ruined many lives.

Selena is not an elf from the deep sea, she is a monster from the deep sea.
