"Can't you feel where your sister is?"
Facing this question, Miki bit her lip, shook her head and nodded again.
"This is neither a station nor a game..." If she was still in the game of "Finding a Body", Miko could be at her disposal, "I only know that she is still on this floor."
... still on this floor
Lin You looked around the corridor. She hadn't checked the second floor before, but according to Jian Mingjia's recount of their experience of going door to door to find the morgues, there were only a few that could be opened.
"etc."
She leaned closer to a door, "Can't you see that?"
Miki: "... eh?"
The brass doorknob was not very clear at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there were faint red fingerprints on it.
After the red man entered the illustrated book, his status was reset, and the light bulb that had been stuck in his mouth disappeared. But her blood was always there, as fresh as if it had just been splashed, and the palms and fingers would naturally rub marks when opening the door.
"Really!" Miki bouncingly checked the past, and checked the last doorknob with bloody palm prints on it, "Then, Miko is here—"
Lin You suddenly realized.
"etc!"
Isn't this the room where Fu Jiang was found dismembered? Could it be that the celebrity entered there? !
She stopped one step too late, but the moment she pushed the door open, Miki froze.
"how?"
Lin You didn't know what happened yet. She walked over and couldn't help but fell silent when she saw the scene in front of her. She also stared at the big eyes of the red man.
... It seems that the hurdle of the light bulb is destined to be over.
she thinks.
The red man squatted on the table in good condition, tightly hugging her rabbit doll that had barely left her body.
Fu Jiang next to him didn't look well at all.
She has relied on her beauty for so many years, and no one has ever dared to treat her like this. At this moment, the light bulb that was forced in was shaking his head with anger, wanted to vomit but couldn't get it out, and yelled indistinctly.
Lin You couldn't hear what she was saying at all, but in the next moment, the celebrity who didn't know which sentence she understood screamed and wanted to tear off that head with her bare hands.
"Meizi!" Meiji quickly glanced at Lin You, and rushed to fight, "Meizi, what are you doing?!"
Celebrity: "She's still scolding, I'm a rabbit—"
Miki: "..."
Lin You: "..."
Wait, how did you hear what she was saying? Because you have been stuffed and can't speak clearly, are you particularly experienced? !
Seeing that the celebrity was furious like this, Fu Jiang obviously enjoyed the thrill of revenge, she smiled coldly—but the original bright smile was deformed by the round light bulb.
She herself realized this very quickly, and her complexion became even uglier.
"Okay, okay," Lin You stepped forward to stop the fighting that was about to escalate, "She's gagged, so leave her alone. It's been almost two minutes, help me find where the remaining finger is .”
She said that she was going to drag the two of them away.
Kawakami Tomie: "Uh huh—"
Lin You stopped, "What did she say?"
Miki also cast her eyes on Miko, who reluctantly translated: "She... died once, if, take out the light bulb, tell the location."
"..."
Lin You inspected Fu Jiang's head, which was still calm under such sight.
This is a very important piece of information.
If she had died before coming to this hotel, it meant that there was a new Tomie Kawakami elsewhere, which would not be a good thing. Knowing the location, maybe I can follow the clues to find out where they are—
"I can take it out for you, but not now." She said, "You can wait here for a while."
Tomie: "..."
She didn't make any more noise, and watched coldly as the door was closed again.
"Can you smell something?"
In the corridor, Lin You asked, seeing the famous people sniffing here and there.
"It doesn't look like it's easy to find." Meiji crossed her hands behind her back, and smelled the air decently, "Everything here smells like blood."
After all, the blood-stained blankets were piled downstairs.
But Meiji was right, red people are far more sensitive to bloody smell than normal people. She smelled it for about ten seconds, then suddenly ran straight towards the end of the corridor.
The door she rushed to was locked, and Lin You was thinking of searching for the key on the unconscious boss, when the red man unscrewed the doorknob with his bare hands.
Lin You: "..."
OK, this step is omitted.
"Hiss—" Seeing the scene in the room, Meiji couldn't help but gasp, "This—"
Different from the decoration of ordinary rooms, this is probably the room where the boss sleeps himself.
However, the most eye-catching thing here is the slash marks running everywhere.
From the foot of the bed to the wall and then to the TV cabinet, the traces of chopping up and down fully prove how unstable the mental state of the original owner was at that time.
There was no blood or flesh on these cut marks, maybe he did it before he went to kill Fu Jiang. It's just that after doing this, instead of venting, it fueled the destructive desire in my heart.
And he came back after killing Kawakami Tomie, and the bloody footprints on the ground proved this.
I have to tidy up here in a while—
Lin You raised her feet carefully, and walked around the wires hanging beside her. Even that was affected, with a section of plastic scraped away by the axe's edge, exposing the bare wires inside.
Fortunately, there is no short-circuit effect for the time being, so be careful not to touch it and you will not get an electric shock.
She followed the footprints and stopped by the bed.
After thinking about it, he lifted the pillow.
Sure enough, the part of the finger that they couldn't find after searching the two floors was impressively lying underneath.
"...tsk," Miki who was following her showed a somewhat indescribable expression, "you came back and put it under the pillow, ready to sleep on it? What kind of hobby is this..."
"Anyway, at least I found it."
Lin You winked at them both, "Thanks for your hard work."
"I don't care." Meiji waved her hand, "—the time is coming, sister remembers to play with us in the future."
"Other things are fine, just another round of searching for the body will be avoided."
The abacus came to nothing, and Meiji "cut".
The red sisters returned to the illustrated book, and she was the only one left in the room. Lin You grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped the finger, and hurried downstairs to find Jian Mingjia.
As soon as he walked to the lobby, he heard chaotic footsteps from outside the door.
— But don't be a policeman.
Thinking of this, Lin You pushed open the door and was relieved to see those three people coming back.
"Finished?" she asked.
"almost."
Geng Qinghe scratched his cheek, "Try to make sure that there are only ashes left..."
"It's dark and you can't see the smoke," Gu Heng continued, "You can rest assured that you haven't attracted anyone's attention—have you found that finger?"
In the middle of his speech, Jian Mingjia also came back after hearing the sound. She clapped her hands as she unrolled the dirty rolled blankets in a pile by the stairs.
Jian Mingjia: "Finger still—"
"I haven't had time to say it yet, I just found it." Lin You shook the things in her hand, thinking of the murder caused by this finger, "But..."
She hesitated to speak, stopped to speak, and finally spoke.
"For various reasons, Fu Jiang's head... a light bulb was stuffed in his mouth."
Lu Zhenjie: "..."
ah
Gu Heng: "... Poof."
Jian Mingjia: "Light bulb???"
"She promised to give clues as long as she took it out." She summed up the general process in a few sentences, and then asked her friend, "You don't have enough tools, right?"
"Yeah, my medical kit only has bandages and gauze besides medicine."
Jian Mingjia laughed at himself, "Who made me a pharmacist?"
It is a partial auxiliary profession, and she didn't shy away from anything.
"It's okay," Lin You thought about it, "I have another way, that is, I need to wait."
Taking advantage of this time, the work was not so urgent this time, so Geng Qinghe and Gu Heng had to deal with the severed finger and the blood-stained blanket piled up next to the stairs - the latter was not in a hurry, Fu Jiang's blood had no body parts Then regenerate quickly, they will transport part of it first.
Lu Zhenjie, who lost in the boxing game, stayed behind just in case, so almost twenty minutes later, he witnessed Lin You summoning a new——
He stared at the man in the black robe before him.
... Who is this? ! !
The epidemic doctor didn't care about his frightened gaze, and turned to Lin You skillfully, "Are you going to accept my treatment?"
Lin You: "..."
The daily repeater is ok.
"No." She refused straight away, and when the epidemic doctor was about to sigh in disappointment, "However, I found a patient for you."
The breath that the epidemic doctor was about to let out was suspended in such a way.
"Really?" he asked in surprise.
"Of course," Lin You pushed open the door, "it's inside."
"Oh, unbelievable."
While seeing Fu Jiang's head, the epidemic doctor murmured: "It's the first time I've come into contact with a case where only one head survived, but why is there... a light bulb here? She swallowed a light bulb?"
Tomie: "..."
Shut up! !
Lin You said "ah", "Yes, it is this light bulb that I want to ask you to do."
"It's a pity that she is not a patient." The epidemic doctor put on his gloves and said regretfully, "But it's okay, please wait outside the door for a while, I will take out the light bulb."
… ah? no
She has always felt that the epidemic doctor's criteria for judging whether she is infected with the plague is a bit confusing, and she is even more confused now.
The simple minor operation lasted for about three minutes, and when the epidemic doctor came out again, his footsteps were full of joy.
"Amazing—really amazing healing."
He exclaimed in admiration: "I accidentally scratched my mouth with shards of glass, and it healed in just a few seconds—she will definitely become a perfect experimental subject!"
"There's not enough time," the epidemic doctor looked at Lin You expectantly, "Can I use her for experiments next time?"
"No!!" Fu Jiang screamed in the room.
"Look, my will is there."
Lin You shrugged, "But I will try my best to convince her."
"That's good," the plague doctor nodded in satisfaction, "this is to save all mankind from the persecution of the plague."
Until a few seconds before he disappeared, he was still looking at the experimental subject reserve three times a step at a time - Fu Jiang felt unreasonable about this.
"The light bulb took it out for you."
Lin You asked: "How about it, tell me where did you die last time?"
"No," Fu Jiang said confidently, "I'll talk about it when I feel better."
Jian Mingjia: "You don't mean what you say!!"
Lin You was not too surprised.
It's better to say that Tomie Kawakami has this character, but fortunately, she also has some bargaining chips in her hands now.
"Wait for me to ask the one just now to come out? He has really been looking for the experimental product for a long time."
She smiled, seeing Fu Jiang choke, "You decide what to do."
"I'm leaving first, you guys be careful," Lin You got up and told, counting the time, Fu Jiang might already be reborn.
"Hey," Jian Mingjia stopped, "Where are you going?"
"The boss' room."
Lin You stretched her arms without looking back, "See if you can find any clues—oh, there's also blood on the ground over there."
Returning to the messy bedroom that had been cut by the ax again, Lin You looked around, thinking about where it was most likely to find something.
According to the degree of Tsuchiya's obsession with Fu Jiang, if he retrieved Fu Jiang, he should keep some clues as a souvenir.
Of course, this is also pure nonsense.
The biggest purpose of her coming here is to clean up the blood, so as not to bring back a bunch of fujiangs.
... Although the epidemic doctor may be very happy to see that picture
While driving, Lin You walked around the wires, rolled up the blanket and stood it by the wall.
She was about to turn around and look under the bed or at the table, when she suddenly heard a strange humming sound behind her.
Lin You's eyelids twitched.
She remembered.
There is a TV set facing the back.
But it was clearly not the seventh day. Could it be that they touched the manhole cover and liberated Sadako's power. In addition, what she did angered the other party, so she couldn't even wait for seven days and wanted to do it directly
There was a strange smell on the tip of his nose.
It was the same rancid smell as when she was at the well during the day. Lin You slowly turned her head and found that there were fine and dense drops of water seeping from the TV screen.
Drops of water dripped along the cabinet and formed a cloudy pool on the wooden floor.
The water grew more and more, and this time even the picture of the dry well disappeared, and a hand stretched out from the center of the screen.
She had seen this hand, with the same peeling nails as then. Pressing it to the ground little by little, the puddle was slightly rippling because of her movements.
Sadako struggled out with a small half of her body, and crawled forward with her hands dangling in the water. Her goal this time is clear.
Lin You: "Well..."
"You still have time to go back now," she said.
She heard a faint sneer.
Although she couldn't see her face, she could completely feel the killing intent of the other party—the one who prevented her from successfully attacking the previous target, the one who trapped and destroyed the avatar, and the one who broke the video tape face to face...
Sadako was still crawling forward, and the rancid liquid in the well continued to flow.
Just a second before she was about to make a move, Lin You pulled the wire hanging from the side!
She grabbed the insulating plastic skin and clubbed the exposed part directly into the water.
