Journey to Salvation from Chaldea

"Counterclockwise?"

"Correct." Yue Ye smiled, "These five corpses appeared in counterclockwise order. During the five nights when the case happened, the murderer seemed to turn around after going out, and after walking for a while, killed a passer-by. Killed. If that's the case, then..."

The moonlit night circled the place where Kuroto Kanya was killed.

"what!"

"Abnormal location, right?" Yue Ye smiled, "I went to investigate the address of Heitong Ganya today, and then walked along his school way, and found that he would indeed pass through that alley. But the problem The alley is a dead end, and according to the blood on the scene, the alley must be the first scene. This also means that either something happened in the alley that caught his attention, or it was..."

"He was tricked into it." Liang Yi replied coldly.

"Exactly." Yue Ye nodded, "Considering the expression on his face when he died, the murderer should be someone he knew, which makes me more sure that he was called in. The corpse can be broken to this To this extent, it shows that the murderer also has strong negative emotions towards Gan. Let me add that the first five corpses of the murderer were committed randomly, but the death of Hei Tong Ganya is more like a vendetta. And in order to vent, he even risked being discovered. Forget about it, and torture the corpse into that shape very meticulously. This kind of strong impulse does not seem to be done by a mature adult. So the murderer may be a very young person."

"Hei Tong doesn't look like he will provoke enemies?" Liang Yi frowned.

"I think so too." Yue Ye nodded, "Then let's change the direction and find the reason why he might be killed among the people around him. Fortunately, he hasn't had many close contacts recently. You and I , and one of his classmates."

"That classmate is a very enthusiastic person. He is very popular, has many friends, and is very popular with everyone. If you want to take revenge on such a person because of jealousy, then it will not be the turn of revenge on Hei Tongganye." Yue Ye said , "And I only have you two friends, and I have no enemies in this world, so..."

Yue Ye looked at the two rituals: "The murderer's motive for killing Heitong Kanya should be on you, Shi."

"I?"

"That's right. Fortunately, your interpersonal relationship is also very thin. Except for me and Ganya, you don't seem to have any intersection with other people. But maybe it is this friendship between you and Ganya that caused some things that you can't ask for. The jealousy of your guy." Yue Ye said, "A male, a young man, who wants to get close to you, with a distorted and paranoid personality, there is just one such person around us."

"...Bai Chunlixu!" The two ceremonies almost squeezed out the name from between their teeth.

"Bai Chunlixu." Yue Ye nodded, "Remember? Ganya once said that he participated in Bai Chunlixu's farewell party. At that time, Baichunlixu said that he had found something that he could dedicate his life to. s things."

"It's disgusting!"

"It's indeed a scum." Yue Ye agreed, "Like a wild beast wandering in the city, it keeps devouring others in order to satisfy its own evil thoughts."

"...What are you going to do?" Two Rites asked.

"It's very simple." Yue Ye picked up the cane on the side, "Treat him with his own way. I will treat him as he treats Qianye. You stay at home, and I will treat him tonight." Go get him out."

"I'll go too." Two Rites said bluntly.

Yue Ye shook her head: "It's too dangerous, he's not an easy opponent to deal with. A quick-witted and irrational murderer is not something you, a high school student, can handle."

The two rituals did not speak, but stared quietly at the moonlit night.

After a while, Yue Ye smiled helplessly.He wiped the dagger clean with a white cloth, put the dagger back into its sheath, and then threw it to Er Ri: "Try not to leave my side, and protect yourself."

After talking to Qiulong, the two left the mansion of Liangyi's family.

###Three hundred and fourth chapter investigation###

Guanbuzi City under the night is not peaceful, and the night is a veil to cover up crime.Gangsters, drug addicts, violent gangs, these maggots who can only survive in the shadows, now use the cover of night to act recklessly.But because of this, the unique intelligence network formed by these people has also become active,

"It's really troublesome, do you really have to ask one by one?" Two Rites muttered.

Yue Ye shook his head lightly: "That's the only way to go. Bai Chunlixu cut off all contact with the past, neither the teacher nor his classmates can contact him. Let's try again, if we still can't ask If something of value comes out, I can only steal the Metropolitan Police Department once more."

"You can steal things from the Metropolitan Police Department..." Liang Ri shook his head, "It's really... so reliable that people feel helpless."

The two changed an alley and continued to ask people who were passing by or sneaking around.Fortunately, the circle formed by the crime scene is not very big, and there are only a few gray areas in the circle.

From Yueye's point of view, these social maggots are simply "treasure boys".As long as you are willing to pay enough, they dare to do anything.Especially those addicts, crazy crazy.

"It's ugly." The two rituals said bluntly.

Yue Ye threw a few banknotes behind her back, and the addict who was questioned by them immediately lay down on the ground like a dog to pick up the money.Yue Ye shrugged and said: "Existence is reasonable. When a product is developed, no matter how evil it is and how small the market is, there will be people who are destined to be crazy about it, and we just use this madness to take advantage of each other That’s all. Well, don’t look at it, what’s the value of looking at something like a dog.”

The two ceremonies followed Yue Ye and said, "Those little girls in the school still regard you as a gentle senior. Should it be said that they are ignorant of the world or you act too well?"

"Looking at it from another perspective, you who can see my true face are in a sense considered one of the lucky ones in a thousand." Yue Ye rolled his eyes, "The information collection is almost done, and I feel like I will ask again. Nothing came out. What the guy said just now, I have heard similar things for the fourth time. By the way, thank you for your financial support as the eldest lady of the Liangyi family, otherwise I would have spent a lot of money to obtain this information Work hard."

"Excuse me?"

Yue Ye gently pulled out part of the staff and sword, showing a little coldness: "You don't want to know the process."

"Tsk." The two ceremonies made an uncomfortable voice, "Compared to you, Bai Chunlixu is just a hungry dog, and you are the real monster."

Yue Ye was noncommittal, and changed the topic gently: "Shi, have you noticed? Besides Bai Chunlisu, this group of people also mentioned another person. A tall man who looks like 50 years old, called by Bai Chunlisu It's Mister Araya."

Yue Ye took out her little notebook: "I wrote down here that the first corpse with a tragic death appeared on September 1995, [-]. And this Mr. Araya probably came into contact with Bai Junliu at this time." time, but he soon disappeared."

"According to what they said, even seeing this person from a distance will make people feel a sense of pressure and vomiting." Two Rites said, "It sounds like there is no one behind the scenes."

"I'm worried about another point." Yue Ye said, "Well, it would be better for you to experience it?"

He closed his eyes, then opened them again.Startled, the two took a step back.Yue Ye just made a simple movement, and the atmosphere around him changed.A strong sense of oppression came from the side of the moon, and the two ceremonies even saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in a trance.Yue Ye didn't draw his sword, and didn't put on any posture, he just stood there quietly, and there was a desire to escape after two rituals.

Yue Ye only maintained this state for a few seconds, and Yue Ye became that gentle senior again.He smiled and said, "Although it can't be completely restored, I believe that the feeling I give you is similar to the feeling Mr. Araya gave these people."

"You..." The two ceremonies were obviously terrified.

Yue Ye said apologetically: "Sorry, I went too far. There is a chair over there, let's rest for a while."

While accompanying the two ceremonies, Yue Ye asked what was in her mind: "Shi, this girl is not like you."

He laughed and said, "That's because she hasn't awakened until she dies. If you don't understand death, how can you have the ability to withstand the impact of this breath?"

"Oh?" Yue Ye raised her eyebrows, "I always thought that the Devil's Eye of Death belonged to you, but I didn't expect... she got it for you?"

"Yes." She said with a smile, "take your time. There are still some parts of this child that are not yet fully grown. When she is fully grown, you will like such a helper."

"Then I'll wait and see." Yue Ye said.

The two rituals returned to normal after a short break.After making sure she was fine, Yue Ye took her to Bai Chunlixu's address.

Bai Junlio lives in a standard apartment building, which looks very ordinary on the outside.Not only was there no suspicious trace in the corridor, but it was cleaned cleanly.An uncle who looks like an apartment manager is cleaning the door.

"Oh, it's Bai Chun... No, I'm mistaken hahaha." The apartment manager laughed, "This lady looks very similar to a resident of ours, even her dressing style is similar."

"You mean Mr. Bai Chun Lixu?" Yue Ye immediately followed the uncle's words and smiled, "Because this is his sister. Can you tell us which room Mr. Bai Chun lives in? Her sister came to the city to look for him Yes, but I can't get in touch."

"Ah? That's it." The uncle nodded with a simple and honest smile, "I'll take you there. Really, this guy is too withdrawn, isn't it? Why don't you pick up my sister when she comes?"

"Eh? Brother Bai Chun is a very good person." Yue Ye deliberately spoke ironically.

"Well, maybe it's because he hasn't adapted to life in the city yet? It's hard for the neighbors to see him, and all the small gifts they gave him were rejected." The uncle said helplessly, "We were still very strange at first, but since This lady is from the countryside, so it makes sense. Children who leave their hometowns and come to work in big cities are really stressed. Sometimes they have to go out to work at night. In this way, they really have no time to deal with us old people. Dude haha."

Yue Ye and the two rituals exchanged glances.From each other's eyes, they all saw the color of affirmation.The administrator's description coincides with Bai Chunlixu's recent activity time, reaffirming their guess.

"Oh, maybe he's still working outside at this time?" The uncle led the two of them to a door and knocked on it, "Hello! Mr. Bai Chun, are you home?"

No one in the house answered.Undeterred, the uncle knocked on the door again: "Mr. Bai Chun?"

This time the result is still no response.The uncle took out the key and opened the door: "Sure enough, I'm going to work. Just wait here for a while. I have to clean the hall, so excuse me."

After finishing speaking, the uncle administrator walked downstairs with a broom.

Yue Ye and Liang Ri entered Bai Chunli Xu's room carefully, and closed the door gently.

Yue Ye twitched her nose a few times, and asked in a low voice, "Shi, do you smell... a smell of chemicals?"

Liang Ri shook his head lightly: "All I can smell is the residue of unthrown convenience food."

The entry corridor is short and ends in a curtain.Yue Ye took out the flashlight she had prepared earlier, and handed one to the two ceremonies.

The two turned on the flashlight and adjusted it to the lowest brightness.After exchanging glances, Yue Ye gently opened the door curtain with a cane.

The expected trap did not appear, but something even more surprising was exposed under the strong light of the flashlight: an entire wall was covered with large and small photos of the two ceremonies.Whether it is a clear frontal photo or a blurry candid photo, they are all collected here by Bai Junlio.In the corner of this wall, there are still several portraits piled up, and the protagonists of the paintings, unsurprisingly, are also two rituals.

"What is this guy... doing..." Liang Ri opened his eyes wide.

Yue Ye approached the wall with great interest: "This guy is quite good at taking pictures, um... the drawing skills are also good. Oh, wait, what is this?"

He walked to the other table.The table is full of bottles, jars, and chemicals that, for the most part, would only be found in a chemistry lab.Yue Ye sniffed it lightly, and showed a somewhat sinister smile.

"What's wrong?" Two rituals came over.

"He is synthesizing drugs, and he is quite skilled." Yue Ye replied bluntly, "Tsk, it's really harmful."

The two men went to the window, while Yue Ye continued to check the environment in the house, and the time passed quietly.Suddenly, the two ceremonies stopped Yue Ye: "He's back!"

Yue Ye immediately put down what she was doing and came to the window.Under the streetlight, a blond man who was dressed almost the same as the two men and had the same hairstyle walked towards the apartment.

"Changed your face... No wonder no one can recognize you..." Yue Ye said to herself.

"Yueye, the uncle administrator is coming!" said the two rituals, "We will be exposed!"

"Understood. You go up the stairs, I'll go straight down to intercept him!" Yue Ye swung his cane and knocked on the window glass, "Remember to protect yourself!"

###The [-]th chapter Bai Chunlio's diary###

Sand sculpture group 779037920)

Just hearing the sound of broken glass on a moonlit night, Bai Junlisu's body tensed up like a frightened cat.When he saw the long-haired figure coming out of the broken window of his house, Shirajun Risori ignored the uncle of the apartment manager, turned around and ran away.

"Bai Chunlixu!" Yue Ye squatted down slightly to relieve the impact of jumping from a high place, "The cat-and-mouse game is over!"

After hearing Yueye's words, Bai Chunlixu ran even faster.It has to be said that his motor nerves are quite good, and it can even be said that he is extremely different from ordinary people in terms of physical strength.Even in a kimono that binds his hands and feet, he can still jump over a two-meter-high wall like a monkey, and climb the outer wall of a building like a gecko.This weird athletic ability once again made Yueye confirm his and Shiki's guess.That Araya-san must have done something to Bai Junlisu.

The two fled and chased, and soon disappeared into the night.When the two ceremonies ran down, she could only see two distant figures.She scratched her hair a little irritably, then turned and walked towards the apartment building.

"That... you... this... just..." the uncle of the apartment manager stammered.The scene just now had a greater impact on him.Liang Ri said impatiently: "It's just a personal grievance. If you are worried, you can call the Metropolitan Police Department."

After finishing speaking, she went upstairs and left the apartment manager downstairs. Less than 5 minutes later, she came out again.Holding a notebook in her hand, she walked past the uncle.

"By the way, Bai Junlio is the murderer of the recent serial murder case, so you can go to the police."

Leaving this sentence, the two ceremonies left.The uncle froze for a moment, then quickly dropped the broom and ran towards the duty room.

------------------

In April 1995, I met her.

May, tell me about her.Even now, I still forget myself when I see her.Just seeing her makes me completely out of order.My daily life is slowly being eroded.A miraculous girl from the same high school.I'm probably... in love with her.

In July, "I hate the weak", she said to me in a flat tone, and the two ceremonies rejected me like this. "I hate weak people", I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.That night, I hit someone for the first time, and killed someone for the first time.

"July 1995, this is your first crime, right?"

Chasing after me was a friend of Ershi's, a guy named Yue Ye from the next class.A guy who is almost perfect in terms of grades, looks, and behavior.I am sincerely jealous of him, jealous that he can stay with Ershi, jealous that he can easily talk and laugh with Ershi.And this jealousy has already turned into hatred.

"The first time you kill someone, you're scared, right? But has anyone told you? When you kill others, you also kill yourself. That night, more than one person died, right?"

See, this guy is just that.In a flat tone, speak outrageous things.But now I can't confront him. My intuition tells me that if I don't take advantage of the terrain, I must have no chance of defeating him.For me, the only option now is to run away.

In August, I gradually started to go crazy.As Araya-san said, I was right.Only by believing that I'm crazy, that I'm right can assuage the guilt of killing me.Even if I think so, I can't feel at ease.Being alone is so disturbing, I need a lunatic buddy who is just like me.

"The next thing is the second, the third... Killing again and again, the method is more cruel than the last. Want to attract Shi's attention? I am really surprised to know the other side of Shi. I am very curious, Did you discover this by yourself, or did Araya-san tell you?"

I wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.If this man even knows the other side of the two rituals and Mr. Araya's existence, then I really have lost too much in terms of intelligence.

I climbed to the top of the building and turned around.He didn't seem to particularly want to chase me, but slowly walked to a place ten meters in front of me and stopped.

I knew I had to say something, but my throat didn't know what to make.He shook his head, showing a very troubled expression: "Why do you want to kill someone?"

"Because... my origin was awakened by that demon named Araya Soren." I don't know why, but I don't want to lie.

"That's right." Yue Ye nodded, "What is your origin?"

"It's 'eating'." I replied, "I was awakened by the origin, and I can only be satisfied if I keep eating. I am a murderer who eats, and everything I do is to satisfy me...etc. , why can you understand what I said?"

"It's very simple, because I'm also a magician." He shrugged, "It was just a matter of revenge for a friend, but I didn't expect to involve a magician in the end. Really, I'm not good at dealing with this kind of thing now. .”

He took out a small notebook from his pocket: "However, you lied to me about one thing. About Hei Tongqian... the gentle Heitongqianya..."

His voice trembled a bit, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.I immediately turned around and ran towards where I was going to escape.I am really hopeless, at this time, I still choose to escape.

Yes, I can't look straight at this, the fact that I killed Kanya Kuroto.

In December 1995, I met Mikiya Kuroto who was coming home from school while wandering around.He's also a friend of Ryoji's side, but for some reason, I can't envy him.For some reason I don't know, I stopped him.I tried to trick him that it was all due to the two rituals, but he was completely unmoved.In this person's eyes, I saw things that I might never get in my life.The kind of tenderness from the bottom of my heart, and the unreasonable trust in my friends, made me mad with jealousy.When I woke up and began to understand what I had just done, the dried black tong had already turned into a pile of shredded meat.I ran away.I spent the rest of the day throwing up and crying.

------------------

Sitting in the coffee shop, the two gently closed the diary.This is the end of Bai Chunlixu's diary. Although he didn't keep recording every day, he would record his thoughts after every murder.Such a diary is enough to become an important basis for convicting Bai Chunlixu.

Thinking that Yueye and Bai Chunlisu might have started fighting now, the two ceremonies were a little irritated.For some reason, she didn't want Yue Ye to kill Bai Chunlixu, or in other words, he shouldn't be the one who killed Bai Chunlixu.Even according to what he said, he was already a monster that killed hundreds of people, but the two rituals still had a strong sense of resistance to the fact that he wanted to kill people.
