Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

The size of this bar is quite satisfactory, but after all, it has just received the big figures from the city committee. If it continues to develop normally like this, it may expand its scale.

——But this is the singularity, so it should be over after repairing it.

In short, after a short period of time on the road, the three of them hung together at the window of the bar owner's office.

Although not beautiful, but the concealment is high enough.

"What?! You said dead?! Damn it, why is that blade really dead?!"

Accompanied by such roars, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground reached the ears of the three girls hanging at the door.

Lixiang felt the game was strange for a while.

Judging from the content of what the boss said, the [dead person] mentioned by the boss should refer to the victim lady.

Whether the boss was worried about the deceased and the future of his bar, or insulting the death of the deceased itself, Lixiang would not be surprised to be frank.

However, what the boss said was more like he was frightened by the fact that [the victim will really die].

Then, it seemed, another phone call came.In order to obtain more complete information, Matthew and Gray used the Servant-level hearing, while Lixiang used the technique of hearing the chief's cry for help at the singularity point f, in order to obtain more information.

【You are going to die soon, my friend.how do you feel?How do you feel!Obviously as long as you obediently sell the shop to me, this is the so-called "deserve it", my friend. 】

"You...how can you command Spring Heeled Jack! Could it be that that woman is also you—"

[Of course not, my friend.All I want is your store, your money.It's completely an employee of your store's cash cow, why should I kill her?But no way, the rumors are fair.It's not that I can command Jack, it's that anyone in the world can. 】

"what are you saying?"

[The committee members went to look for you, so you may also be protected.No way, I can only start before that.What a pity for that employee, really a pity. 】

"What the hell are you... talking about?!"

[Farewell to friends, the scheduled time is coming soon.The takeaway I ordered is almost here, and takeaway is really a good thing.As long as you stay at home, you can enjoy the food that used to take a long time to eat.Long live the Urban Development Board for the future of the country. 】

"Hey! Wait! Wait—"

"Guha... Guhahahahaha..."

The boss shouted anxiously, and the laughter that the girls had heard not long ago rang out in the next moment.So the girls acted decisively, broke the window and broke into the boss's office.

A pumpkin-headed monster who kept laughing to mock humans was floating above the office.

Lixiang immediately threw the black key around the boss, and a purple wall of light rose around him.At the same time, Matthew and Gray also took out their weapons and rushed towards the pumpkin head monster with the speed of servants.

Pumpkinhead sneered, and stretched out his arms with iron claws to grab all the metal in the room.At the same time, flames overflowed from its pumpkin head.

Li Xiang also remembered the ability that this monster possessed in the description, it is said that it can breathe fire.The Sanctuary is of little use to the Dead Apostles who can use their abilities proficiently, but we don't intend to let this monster do whatever it wants.

However, the monster did not spit out the flames.Instead, it ate all the metal it caught.

What is it going to do?

"It doesn't matter what you do!"

Lixiang and Yade shouted at the same time.

"Think about the monster's action principle later, cut this guy first! Grey! Face the head, this guy's only weakness is the head!"

Yade yelled.This obvious thing it certainly saw in the previous encounter, and it saw more.

"It has no body at all! It's just a pumpkin head, and what looks like a body is a shadow!"

Hearing Yade's words, Lixiang suddenly understood what the pumpkin head was going to do.

Since the body is a shadow - everyone must be more or less experienced, the so-called "shadow" is "can exist in plural".

"Maxiu, protect this guy! According to my experience last time, if this guy dies, the other party will probably run away!"

Mash didn't respond with words, but immediately set up a shield in front of the boss.At the same time, Gray waved the scythe in his hand, intending to harvest the pumpkin monster in front of him with this harvest thing.

The monster once again used its own trick that even avoided Lixiang's holy nail-it tore off its head and threw it into the sky.

"I won't let you do the trick again."

Lixiang popped out the black key and pointed it at the pumpkin head that was thrown into the sky.

"I haven't thrown the black key crookedly before, and I will smash you into a sieve in the air!"

However, Lixiang felt something was wrong in the next moment.

The shadow cast by the pumpkin head in the air on the ground seems to have become some kind of mysterious space channel at this moment.Monsters with flat bodies and ferocious iron claws crawled out of the shadows one after another, and the three girls rushed forward.

There are four monsters against Grey, and five monsters against Mash.However, there was only one monster facing Lixiang.

As far as consequentialism is concerned, this is so correct that it can even be said to be a subtle judgment.

Facing those who are close to God, no matter how many evil things are used, it is useless.That being the case, it might as well be the one above, and then let this one use everything around it to entangle the chariot.

The monsters on the other two sides have no fighting intentions, and all their tactics are based on procrastination.The purpose of the monster was very clear, it was to hold back the three girls who might not be able to beat them seriously, and then went to kill the boss.

All this only shows one thing - this monster has intelligence, not low.

The pumpkin head grew out of the body when the girls were dragged, and climbed from the ceiling to the boss who was protected by the temple.Then it put its hand into its huge mouth, and from it drew a large axe.

It is a [weapon] made of all the metals in this room as raw materials and refined by [physics].

Neither evil nor good.Just, just a big axe.

This is where the biggest problem lies.

After all, the situation is urgent, and the girl just arranged a first floor of the church.The fighting power of this pumpkin head monster is completely different from the wastes in the massacre panic, and it is undoubtedly a follower level.

And Lixiang's temple couldn't even stop the full force of the wyvern's impact.If the monster relied on the ability of the vampire, it would definitely not be able to break through the sanctuary released by the near-god, but it only used the two extremely simple powers of [strength] and [sharp weapon] to attack.

The result...obvious.

"Guha... Guhaha... Guhahahaha...!!"

With the same mocking sound as last time, the monster disappeared out of thin air again.All that remains is the blood-stained ax and the boss' body.

“[a beautiful girl who is rude and disrespectful and scares people around her]”

Li Xiang couldn't help saying a bad word that he didn't know how to say, but no matter how bad the bad words were, it couldn't change the fact that the monster killed another person in front of everyone.

"I know you're all angry."

Yade who turned into a scythe said so.

"It's natural to be angry, but now is not the time to be angry. The information has been obtained, let's leave here and meet up with Sensei and Kai."

Yad is right.

Relying on the conversation between the boss and another mysterious person, a lot of information can indeed be analyzed.As long as the information obtained by Nishi and Kai can complement this information, the puzzle can be solved.

——The women's team, the search is over.

■Search in progress・Men's team

Meanwhile, Nishi and Kay also check out and leave the bar.

Although the staff who had a good chat with the two and the front desk who made a lot of money greeted them warmly, and hoped that the two would come again next time.But the two people who were smiling on the surface were thinking exactly the same words in their hearts.

'Never again. '

Not because there's anything wrong with being in a bar.Although there are more services to accompany wine, although the drinks are scary expensive.But, to put it bluntly, that's all.

It was something else that really got them thinking that way.

"Scary, isn't it? Do you want to vomit? Obviously, the clock tower is also a place full of conspiracy."

Kai said this to the distressed Second King.

"But it's true. It's just a conspiracy, it's just betrayal, it's just hostility... what's floating around here is pure disgusting and meaningless [evil]."

17. The best proof that compatibility is greater than heaven

■The end of the search phase and task settlement

According to the predetermined plan, everyone met at a coffee shop near the bar.

...this London coffee shop is really overwhelming.

It wasn't dark yet, but the sun was about to set.The world is about to turn gloomy, and the expressions of everyone who went to the hotel to search before are not very clear.

"Let's talk first."

Lixiang hugged Fufu and rubbed her for a while to adjust her mood, then she took the initiative to say,

"We heard a lot of incredible things over there..."

Saying so, the girl looked at Nishi.

"I will repeat what I heard in full, and I will leave the analysis of the problem to the second."

Although Lixiang himself can do such an hour of analyzing intelligence.But the second generation is much better than Li Xiang in this respect, so Li Xiang simply gave up his analysis and recounted what he heard.

After listening to Lixiang's words, Nishi first showed an expression of enlightenment, but then frowned.

"Although the questions we were concerned about before can be answered by relying on these information, but at the same time, the number of questions has further increased... No, the most important thing now is this case."

"So, let me tell you about our information. If Spring Heeled Jack is used as the murder weapon—the one who killed the victim may even be the entire staff of the hotel... Maybe it's not just the hotel. those people."

With a tone that seemed to be mocking something, Kai said this surprising sentence.

Then, let's briefly explain the information that II and Kai got when they went to the hotel as reverse cowherds.

Before telling the information, the first thing to explain is a [rumor] that became popular among young people at some point.

【Help me, Mr. Jack】—In short, this is the rumor.

The content of the rumor is very simple. It is said that there is such a phone number, as long as you dial this number and say "kill someone" to the other end of the phone, you can make that person die.And, it is also possible to specify the detailed time of death within a month.

The scariest thing is not here.

The most frightening thing is that this phone call [without any price].

Just dial the number and say the name.Nothing else to do, nothing else to do.Then, the person whose caller wishes to die disappears silently into the world.

Frankly speaking, it is too easy to use.

"According to our investigation and reasoning, the person who called this number in the bar..."

Kay was silent for a moment, but then he continued,

"It was all the staff who worked in front of the bar and who worked with the victim on a regular basis."

"……Eh?"

Lixiang made a surprised sound, and then the truth of the "meaningless malice" that the victim suffered also surfaced under Kai's reasoning.

When the victim was working in the bar, she didn't have a good relationship with the hotel staff because she was too busy with work every day.While that is true, it does not appear to be so in the eyes of those hotel workers.

They all felt that Miss Victim was a loner, and that they looked down on them if they didn't make friends with them.Obviously, the task of receiving the members of the Urban Development Committee was given to Miss Victim as a football by them, but after Miss Victim made a fortune by relying on this task, they had the idea of ​​"Why is this sword promoted and rich?" idea.

Obviously, the opportunity to get promoted and get rich was lost by themselves, but at this moment they completely ignored this matter, and just felt that Miss Victim should not get rich before them for no reason.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was when Miss Victim took three days off work in order to resign from three other jobs and deal with all necessary matters.

Although the victim's lady really only asked for leave because of something, she didn't know that it touched the nerves of these employees.According to their idea that there is no point of introspection, they feel that they [even if they are generous, they can't bear it].

So one of them called Jack according to the rumor.Then came the second, third, fourth... Later, it even turned into a weird activity in which those who had made the call forced other people who had not made the call to make a call as if they were conducting a religious trial.

In the end, when the few upper-level leaders in the hotel didn't find anything, the people at the bottom had already called Jack.

"Anyway, it's just an old rumor, and it must not be true."

One of the staff who accompanied the wine said so,

"That disgusting guy actually died for some reason, who would have thought of that."

Then, time goes back to the present.

"At first, the director was still thinking about what was going on with that pumpkin-headed monster. After listening to the information you got, he finally figured it out—this monster, to put it bluntly, is just a murder weapon."

Spring Heeled Jack has no purpose, it just keeps accepting other people's entrustment, and kills the victim according to the commissioned content.The reason why Spring Heeled Jack was able to disturb the Lixiang Temple in the previous commission is the same as the second generation guessed... It did not rely on some space transfer to enter the temple, but [appeared out of thin air] in the Just inside the church.

The monster will appear near the victim out of thin air when the time to kill comes, perhaps because the victim was marked by some power at the moment of becoming a [victim]?Or is it a special ability possessed by monsters?What's more, it may be a phenomenon based on some other kind of mystery.

In short, the pumpkin head monster really appeared beside the victim out of thin air, there was no process of [moving] at all, and naturally it would not be blocked by the temple as an [obstacle].

"I have a further guess, but that's not a deduction."

Second King took out a cigar and cut it open, and said while lighting the cigar,

"I still don't understand why the monster killed people according to the entrustment this time, and I can't figure out what role the city development committee played in this case for the time being...Master? What's wrong with you?"
