I fooled the whole world

Except that daily life is easier and the scope of actions is smaller, it feels no different from being a soldier.

However, he noticed something a little keenly.

"The law of killing?"

Is there a pattern when evil spirits kill people?

He looked at Tomoyo with such doubts in his eyes.

Tomoyo also saw his doubts, thought for a moment, and gave such an explanation.

"We don't know the specific reason. We only know that evil spirits harm people with regularity."

"For example, some evil spirits specialize in killing those who abduct children, some evil spirits specialize in killing high-level officials, some evil spirits like to attack good-looking girls, and some evil spirits like to attack men... ."

"These patterns are all kinds of strange, but you can figure them out just by comparing them. It's very easy to find patterns. What's really difficult is to find out the evil spirits' killing methods and scope of activities."

"It's like the evil spirit you encountered. It can control people and then kill them."

"At the same time, an evil spirit will move within a fixed range. As long as it exceeds this range, it will not move."

"Generally, we first find out the ability of the evil spirit, determine how to deal with it, and then lure the evil spirit out after we have the method."

"As far as the evil spirits we have encountered so far rarely distinguish what is intentional and what is unintentional, they will kill people as long as the target appears, so it is very simple to lure evil spirits."

"The evil spirit you encountered before is a rare case."

"Well, maybe it has something to do with that evil spirit being able to turn into a monster."

"Or maybe it's special in its own right."

"Do you know why our wages are so high? Because our missions are dangerous."

"Although our mission completion rate is very high, you have to remember that mission completion rate and survival rate are two different data."

"To explore the killing patterns of evil spirits requires risking your life. If you are not careful, you will die. We usually look relaxed, but in fact, we all keep our heads in our belts."

"We get the toughest intelligence and hand it over to those in X Force for the quickest and safest arrest."

Tomoyo and Houtarou learned a lot about evil spirits. This was the first time... Oh no, it should be said that this was the first time he faced evil spirits seriously. He recorded this knowledge in his mind, and then Organize and summarize.

However, while sorting it out, he was a little curious.

"Senior, if the survival rate is low, then why don't we go out as a small team? Instead, we have to go one by one? Wouldn't it be better to have more people?"

His question was quite reasonable. After all, if the casualties are high, then form a small team and complement each other. Wouldn't it be better to ensure safety?

just.

"How many tricks do you think a person can survive in front of evil spirits?"

Such a rhetorical question stunned Chitanda Houtaro.

How many tricks can a person survive in front of evil spirits... No, this can't be considered an equal fight at all, right?

How could normal people win over evil spirits without relying on equipped weapons?

Although he didn't answer, the answer was written all over his face.

Tomoyo could also tell, so she nodded.

"Although we have weapons that can restrain the evil spirits, the evil spirits are ultimately more proactive. If we don't understand the evil spirits, unless we have an absolute numerical advantage, it will be very dangerous."

"And even with the numerical advantage, we will pay a heavy price."

"In the early days of Evil Spirit, we dealt with Evil Spirit like this, and the final result was a heavy price."

"That's why detective agencies like us were born."

"But the detective agency is not safe in the early stages. Even if there are more people to cooperate, there will still be huge casualties. People will die in almost every operation."

"Although we relied on the numerical advantage to temporarily achieve suppression, the finances were tight later and the superiors could not afford too much salary, so we acted alone."

"One person goes in, and if he dies, the information he discovered will be handed over to the next person. If the next person dies, they will hand over their findings to the next person, and then until the commission is completed."

"This is the option with the least casualties."

"No matter how difficult the case is, no matter how complicated the motive for the murder is, we will solve it within five people."

Tomoyo said this, very calmly and casually, but what was hidden under these words was a bloody tragedy.

Five lives, a different ending.

Is this the result of a detective agency... dealing with evil spirits?

Moreover, this response is still an evil spirit that is rigid and does not have much way of thinking.

If...their enemies become those evil spirits who have received a lot of negative energy and know how to think for themselves, what will the ending be like?

Chitanda Houtaro fell into rare silence.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he asked the last question.

"Senior, what would happen if evil spirits similar to my first mission appeared on a large scale?"

"Massive appearance?"

Tomoyo smiled and waved his hand.

"It's impossible, it's impossible. We have been doing this for two years. We have been doing it since the beginning. We have experienced not five hundred but four hundred evil spirits. It is impossible for such evil spirits to appear on a large scale."

"If it really happens on a large scale, then humanity can declare a state of emergency."

An evil spirit that can distinguish what is a trap and what is not a trap will raise the level of human combat against evil spirits to an unimaginable level. Originally, they could basically complete the task by paying a small price, but Chitanda Houtaro was responsible for What about that evil spirit?

That was an evil spirit that they had been unable to capture for a week. It was even able to attack under siege and retaliate against those who captured it...Why was Chitanda Houtaro being targeted? ?Isn't it the evil spirit that labels those who "avenge the people it kills" as being killed?

In order to obtain this information, they paid many casualties.

Not only X Force, but also their detective agency paid a price...

And if such evil spirits appear on a large scale, it will only be a matter of time before mankind enters the countdown to extinction.

"Is that so..."

Chitanda Houtaro did not continue to say anything.

He recalled what Tregear had said to him yesterday.

The negative energy of this planet is still growing...

Humans have become accustomed to the original evil spirits, but if the evil spirits continue to grow stronger, then mankind will enter a countdown to extinction.

Countdown to destruction...?

He couldn't help but look outside the car.

Under the dim sky, the scenery quickly passed by.

Living... is really a difficult thing...]

Chapter 327 If I don’t go, I feel a little sorry for the salary.

[Japan, Tokyo, Shinjuku Ward.

As one of the 23 wards in Tokyo, Japan, it is an extremely famous area. Shinjuku District used to be a brightly lit area. There was an endless stream of people coming here. Even at night, it was still as bright as night, so this place used to be Also known as the city that never sleeps.

Many times, when people think of Japan, they think of the Shinjuku area.

It's just that that's in the past.

But Shinjuku City is completely different now.

With the lack of land, a large number of people in the world have been displaced. Many people really have no choice but to leave their homes. Countless foreigners have poured into Japan. Japan has to cut down large areas of forest for farming and living. Although Japan is indeed Denial and blockade were carried out, but in front of the huge population they could not say no like their neighbors next door, and they could only allow the foreigners to pour in.

The influx of these people has brought huge social pressure, including food, water sources, residence, work, life, wives and children, reproduction of offspring... Countless people are gathered together, trying their best to survive.

Why did Chitanda Houtaro come to the detective agency?Why do you continue to keep this job even though you know it is dangerous?Isn’t it just to survive?

In order to keep my family alive, and in order that they can still live a good life after I die...

In this era, money and food have become the two most important points.

In fact, the biggest dilemma was the early stage. The food crisis and resource crisis that broke out in the early stage caught everyone off guard. Many people died in the disaster. However, Chitanda Houtaro was able to survive thanks to the fact that the Chitanda family is a sacred mountain. The famous rich peasants, the most important thing in their families was food, so they withstood the first wave, the second wave, and even all the conflicts and disasters that followed.

It's a pity that due to the preciousness of grain land, the higher-ups began to reorganize the land. Even the Chitanda family, as a veteran rich farmer, could not hold on to that large piece of land.

But it doesn't matter, after all, they are alive now.

Because of this, Shinjuku City today has become a simple area, an area that works hard just to produce the resources needed by society.

People on the streets are either on their way to work, at work, or begging their bosses to take back their people.

In order to have a meal and a place to shelter from the wind and rain, they all put down their dignity.

However, the three people in the car did not have too many mood swings.

After all, these scenes have become commonplace for them in the past two years.

After a while, the car stopped and they arrived outside an ordinary building that looked remote, but was not considered remote.

I opened the door and got out of the car, briefly looked at the location display and house number, and then compared the address information in my hand.

Confirmed, this is the building.

"This should be the location of the entrusted mission."

Juzhu looked at Tomoyo and Houtarou who came to the side and said this, but Tomoyo looked up at the building in front of him, then looked at the empty streets around him, and frowned.

"Are you sure this is here? Where are the people from Unit X? Not to mention Unit X, why didn't the people from Sakurada Gate seal this place?"

After discovering the evil spirit's murderous incident, X Force did not say that the Sakurada Gate must be sealed.

Evil spirits can harm others. Although the scope of activity cannot be determined from the beginning, at least the crime scene must be sealed off.

In such a situation where an evil spirit injures people in the building, the entire building must be evacuated.

If left alone, no one knows how many people the evil spirit will kill.

In fact, after this kind of case Sakurada Gate is discovered, X Force will definitely take over the follow-up.

But now...there is no one at the scene?

And this place...why does it feel so desolate?

Although there doesn't seem to be much of a problem, there is always a vague smell of a dangerous building.

It seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

The dust on the ground seemed to be a little thick.

This is not something that can happen in a short time.

"No, it's not that no one blocked it, it was blocked, but it seems to have left again."

Chitanda Houtaro came to a corner of the building... He looked at the yellow cordon that seemed to be hidden in the dust, blew the dust away, and then picked it up.

Someone should be guarding this place, but for some reason the cordon was removed.

And...there are no people left.

Shi Zhu followed.

He frowned as he looked at the things on the ground.

Was warned, but left again?

what happened?

Did you let it go?

But if we let it go, how could we let the three of them come?

Isn't asking the three of them to act together the same as saying they want to solve this problem?

Generally, multiple detectives are only allowed to act together when a certain incident must be solved, but when faced with this case that must be solved, the alert was withdrawn?

He has doubts in his heart.

"This should be based on the information...the information should have been sent over."

Tomoyo pointed at the mobile phone in Tomo's hand. If they didn't know anything about it, they could just look at the information. It must be mentioned in the information.

But Shizhu shook his head.

"This is a temporary task assigned by the superiors. We don't have much information here. The information given by the boss is only the address. The remaining people who need to be handed over...but the person who handed over the handover is missing."
