Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1425: Going straight to Huanglong (It’s almost time to change to a thicker quilt)

 Tezuka Renichi's story is slightly different from the process of being a middle school boy, but similar.

At that time, the group sent someone to collect the debt, and the other party lived in "Hell's 1-chome". Since loan sharking is legal in Japan, debt collection is naturally legal. The unlucky guy who was in debt tried to dodge over and over again, but he was finally caught by the younger brother in the group, who beat him up and took away the money.

However, unfortunately, this scene was discovered by the patrolling police, and the boy fled in a hurry.

 As a result, news came the next day that the younger brother had killed someone, and the police also launched a wanted search for him.

The Japanese mafia is not as arrogant as the Sicilian mafia, nor is it as awesome as the Godfather of Brook District. They are more like "police-civilian cooperation". To put it simply, I don't cause trouble for you, and you don't cause trouble for me. In this way, you are good, I am good, and everyone is good. But if you cause me trouble, don't blame me for being rude.

Take debts as an example. The underworld can collect debts, or even use violence to collect debts. They can even capture people and throw them directly on fishing boats to let them catch tuna in the sea, or they can force people to make small movies with contracts. As long as you make small movies, If there is a mosaic, the police will not care.

 It won't work without mosaic, because it is against the law.

 But you can't kill anyone.

　　If people are killed, the police have to take care of it even if they don’t want to.

Similarly, gangsters also have to give an "explanation" to the police.

So when something like this happens, the first reaction of the big brothers above is to ask the other person to surrender on his own initiative. After all, there is no death penalty in Japan. It's just that you accidentally beat someone to death during the debt collection process. How many years can you be sentenced? Besides, he's just a little brother, so if he's closed, he'll be closed, and it won't hurt his muscles and bones.

The younger brother firmly denied this, saying that he only beat the other person and did not beat him to death at all. But no one took his words to heart. People like this would usually say any nonsense just to get away with it. So they also locked up the boy and planned to send him directly to the police station to report him the next day.

 However, that night, an accident happened - the younger brother died!

 What’s even more surprising is that he didn’t commit suicide, but was killed! And the person who killed him was actually the creditor he accidentally beat to death! ?

 What, do you feel confused?

 Tezuka Renichi thought so at first, but the problem was that the situation at that time was completely captured by the surveillance screen. It can be seen from the surveillance that the younger brother was sleeping in a closed room. Suddenly he felt very painful, as if he was having a nightmare. Immediately afterwards, he saw a figure gradually emerge from him and turned into a man.

The man stretched out his hand and strangled the younger brother's neck. By the time the gangsters guarding the outside realized something was wrong and rushed in, the man had already strangled the younger brother to death and disappeared completely.

The guarding gangster also hurriedly called his boss, but when the boss arrived, the body of the younger brother was also missing!

At that time, everyone thought this incident was very strange and could not figure out what was going on. It was at that time that Tezuka Renichi learned about this incident and wanted to use it to establish a relationship with Duanmu Huai, so he gave him the gift for the first time. I called and wanted to entrust Duanmu Huai to investigate, but Duanmu Huai refused.

If this is the case, then the impact of this incident is not very big, it is just that a younger brother died. Not long after that, however, things took a turn for the worse.

 This time, the assistant Wakatou in the group died!

 And the one who killed him was the dead brother!

The status of the head assistant is not low. Among the gangs, the person with the highest status in a group is the group leader, also known as the eldest brother. Then there is Wakatou - his status is second only to the team leader. At the same time, if the team leader dies or is captured, he will inherit the position of the team leader.

The position of Assistant Ruotou is actually equivalent to the third-in-command. Although they are assistants in name, their relationship with Ruotou is somewhat similar to the relationship between the prince and other princes. Although Ruotou is the first choice to succeed the team leader, if something happens to Ruotou, then their assistants like Ruotou are also qualified to inherit the position of team leader.

Hence, Ruotou Assistant's status in the gang is quite high.

And the time when he was killed was also full of drama - at that time, the Wakatou assistant was about to go home after having fun in the nightclub. Just when he walked out of the nightclub and was about to get in the car, the boy suddenly walked over from the end of the dark street. Then he directly attacked Assistant Wakatou. Although there are people protecting Wakatou Assistant, the younger brother is as invulnerable as a devil. He even used a knife to disembowel Wakatou Assistant in front of other people!

 Then the younger brother disappeared, and the body of Assistant Wakatou also disappeared after that.

When things have reached this stage, everyone is panicked. The underworld is just brave, but it is not true that it is not afraid of anything. This weird thing has begun to make the atmosphere in the group uneasy. So the leader of that group asked for help from the leader of the Yingyue Group, who had a good relationship with him.

The leader of the Yingyue Group didn't know what to do, but he owed the other party a life, so he agreed, and then handed the matter over to Tezuka Renichi.

Tezuka Renichi also had some tricks. He learned from the police that similar cases had happened, so he followed the clues to find the middle school boy and asked him what happened.

but………

 “Haunted… Frankly, I can’t even imagine it.”

Looking at the supernatural magazine in Duanmu Huai's hand, Tezuka Renichi was speechless.

"However, since Mr. Duanmu is planning to investigate this matter, then... I can let it go. After all, strictly speaking, this is not what I should do."

Indeed, it would be too difficult for a yakuza detective to investigate supernatural events.

After learning that Duanmu Huai was responsible for investigating the matter, Tezuka Renichi decided to stop. On the one hand, he was a little uneasy about such weird things. On the other hand, Tezuka Renichi also knew how powerful Duanmu Huai was. . Although this is the team leader's order, as long as he goes back and reports to the team leader that Duanmu Huai intervenes in the matter, that should be the end of it.

“Let me state in advance that I may not be able to produce results.”

“It doesn’t matter, I believe in your ability, Mr. Duanmu, and the team leader also praises you very much. After all, it was because of Mr. Duanmu’s activity that the team leader was able to hear his daughter’s final words.”

“Just doing it casually, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

"Of course, by the way, if you need any help, you can call me at any time. Our Yingyue Group is quite powerful here."

 “It depends on the situation.”

Duanmu Huai is not willing to call a group of gangsters to help. What if he thinks he is not clean enough? So he just said a few words casually, and then went back to the office. As for the young man, he left with Renichi Tezuka. After all... the person who killed him had been killed by Mezuka Satori, so he probably wouldn't run out again.

 Hope not.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Duanmu Huai gave him an amulet to keep him safe, but unlike Yotsugamiko's, it was a one-time use.

 After all, a man must have some backbone, and he is not a girl like Yotsuya Miko. Giving you a chance to save your life is enough.

 If there is too much, we will not give it.

After returning to the office, everyone gathered around curiously and looked at the supernatural magazine in Duanmu Huai's hand.

 “Ghost…”

 Starting at the magazine, Shajiuye's expression was a little complicated.

 “Are there really ghosts in this world?”

“You’ve been through a lot, haven’t you?”

  After all, Shajiuye has encountered the most incidents since Duanmuhuai came to this world.

“But, those are monsters, not ghosts, right?”

I have to say that Shajiuye’s answer is also very reasonable. Indeed, most of the existences in the Cthulhu Mythos can be classified into biological categories.

 The only difference is whether they are "alien creatures" or "different space creatures".

Duanmu Huai has never seen such things as evil spirits in this world, not even in Mary's world.

“Speaking of which, everyone in the school likes this kind of games, like dogs and foxes...”

Mianmu Saotiao next to him also said curiously.

“There are actually people playing it. I’ve only seen it in movies. Isn’t playing this kind of game a prelude to death?”

Duanmu Huai sighed casually, and then opened the supernatural magazine with "Seven Incredible Special Issues of XX City" written on it.

Generally speaking, these seven incredible rumors are mostly found in schools. Of course, the themes are all the same.

Hanako in the toilet, the mannequin that runs by itself at night, and the sound of the piano in the empty music room are the seven incredible fixed projects on campus.

For example, Hanako's legend is that if you go to the toilets on the third floor of the school, knock on the door starting from the first one, knock three times on each toilet, and ask "Is Hanako there?" at the same time, and when you knock on the third one , the answer "I'm here" will come from the toilet, and then the toilet door will open, and then Hanako will appear, drag the other person into the toilet, and then disappear.

Of course, normal people will know that this rumor is very illogical as soon as they hear it. If everyone who knocked on the toilet was taken away by Hanako, then who left this story behind?

Actually, many ghost stories are like this. You said the person dies in the end, so how did this ghost story come about? Did that person turn into a ghost and tell you this after he died?

 Isn’t this nonsense?

“Brother, are we going to investigate these seven incredible events next?”

 “I don’t have the time.”

However, Duanmuhuai's answer went beyond Shajiuye's imagination.

 “I’m looking for the address.”

"address?"

"Yes, there is definitely something wrong with this magazine. It should have the addresses and phone numbers of the editorial department and the printing plant. I will go directly to find out where the place is that prints and publishes this disgusting magazine!"

That's right, Duanmu Huai is not that stupid, he just plays a decryption game with the other party. If you go directly to the editorial department, catch the guy who runs this magazine, and then torture him directly, won't you know everything?

Oh, Duanmuhuai has a shadow, no need to torture, just scan it!

“But there is not necessarily something wrong with this magazine.”

Irisviel looked at the magazine in front of her curiously. In terms of printing and texture, it felt no different from those third-rate tabloids.

 “If there is any problem, let people take a look and let them know.”

As soon as Duanmuhuai finished speaking, he heard the doorbell ringing.

Hearing the doorbell, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

 “Okay, the talent we need is here.”
