Several pairs of scissors were dropped on the ground.
The Gap Girl didn't intend to touch them again, she pulled off her windbreaker with a straight face to count how many were left, and was going to offer a suitable price so that the guy could reimburse her.
She is not polite at all.
On the other side, under the joint efforts of Zuo and Zuo, they successfully tied Konggui into a rice dumpling with the steel wire rope that had been piled up in the corner to gather dust.
The long barbed nails were cut off at the root, and the faceless monster had to use the cut bare fingers to try to scratch upwards, which of course didn't work.
But its strength is really not small, and Geng Qinghe, who was the striker, had to put all his weight on it to restrain the opponent's actions. He stood up and wiped his sweat panting.
"That'll be fine?"
He asked a little worriedly: "Don't you need to take some protective measures?"
The skull said "hmm": "It's ok."
"The claws are the last resort." It said, "Actually, the real way of this race is to perform dimension jumps. The empty ghosts are free to go to any world, but like I said, what should those guys use? The means to forcibly trap it in this building... "
Saying that, it sighed faintly.
"If it weren't for this," the skull said melancholy, "I should be able to take it to other worlds, or I can find it myself—"
Lin You: "... ah."
almost-
The skull keenly captured this sound.
"Don't tell me you almost forgot!"
It complained sadly and angrily: "It was agreed to help me find a body!"
"You never mentioned it again," Lin You shrugged, "I remember you said that if the bones are nearby, there will be a sense. I haven't said it for so long, I thought you had forgotten."
The skull was momentarily at a loss for words.
"This... is not easy to say."
It tangled up.
"After coming here, I feel a little bit, but I vaguely say that it's not good..."
How to find this
Lin You took a deep breath, and was about to say something, when she turned her head and saw that the Gap Girl was having nothing to do, and went to join the guy who looked the most annoying.
"Am I beautiful?" she asked.
Lin You: "..."
This actually brought a knife to the friendly army.
Geng Qinghe: "..."
Fuck.
The Gap Girl's dress was too recognizable, and he knew that if he didn't answer well, his mouth would be cut, so he immediately looked at Lin You eagerly.
"Meimeimei." The slit girl only felt her shoulder being held by someone, Lin You said without any emotion, and pushed the former to a place where no one was around, "It's alright, alright, don't catch anyone and just ask."
The Gap Girl gave her a vicious sideways look from the corner of her eye.
If she couldn't afford it, she would have used the scissors—
Lin You: "Huh?"
The Gap Girl silently put on the half-removed mask again.
"Hmph," she sneered without confidence, "don't call me next time if you have the ability."
Moreover, so what if the scissors were given away, her own original ones were destroyed, as long as she finds a chance, she must retaliate—
"It's okay." Lin You never used to threaten others. She could see through the small things in the other party's heart, and said with a smile, "Then would you like to have a cup of tea with 096? He really misses you."
"do not you remember?"
Seeing the gaping girl's dazed look, she kindly reminded, "It's the one that is more than two meters tall, the one that is so white, and you can still see the face, the one that screams and wants to run after you as soon as you see the face—"
Gap girl: "..."
you are vicious! !
"Didn't I see it on the way to help you with something?!" Her face darkened with every adjective, almost grinding her back molars to squeeze out the words, "If there is something wrong with me, it will be a work-related injury! Work injury!"
"Okay, okay, it's all work-related injuries, management, reimbursement and bonuses. Which scissors do you like?"
Seeing the girl with the gaping mouth become submissive, Gu Heng held back a smile, Jian Mingjia said "I knew it", and Luo Jing, who had encountered such a situation for the first time, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
As for Geng Qinghe, he gasped.
"Sister You, I thought so before." He said in awe, "Sure enough, in comparison, you are as warm as a spring breeze to your teammates."
Lin You: "..."
Don't you feel that something is wrong when you say this
"Okay, don't delay here any longer." She said, "Hurry up and look for any clues while you're trapping that guy."
That being said, she doubts how many handles these cultists will leave behind. Those who can climb to the top are not easy in themselves.
Everyone came back to their senses one after another, and even Worm, who was acting very dull, took a step forward. Lin Youzuo was at the end and called out to stop the person walking in front of her.
"Hey," she waved her hands with a smile, "Do you want to talk for a while?"
"What did you two just say?"
After entering the room, Jian Mingjia, who had noticed her movements early in the morning, quietly approached her. She looked at Lin You, then at Gu Heng, who was near the bookshelf by the wall, and asked suspiciously in a low voice.
"No." Lin You said lightly, "I'll just ask him if there's anything he wants to tell me, anything, such as something that feels wrong—"
Jian Mingjia: "Huh?"
Is this something that should be avoided
"He said no, nothing."
She said thoughtfully: "Well, then the conversation is over."
Jian Mingjia looked her up and down, always felt that the length of the conversation was not proportional to the time, and Gu Heng's expression looked a little weird.
She was still debating whether to delve into it, but Lin You changed the topic first.
"Have you searched for a while?" she asked, "Did you find anything?"
According to Luo Jing, this abandoned hall of about 30 square meters was the place where those people held their gatherings.
It also looks like the scattered tables and chairs have traces of recent use, not as dusty as other places, and a lot of paper materials are scattered on the ground.
"How can it be?"
Jian Mingjia sighed.
"Let's not talk about meeting minutes," she said. "There's not even a notepad. If there's anything to say—"
She lifts her chin in one direction.
Lin You looked along.
There is a small painting hanging there.
The picture looks like a very ordinary scenery, and the scenery outlined by the paint is colorful. Green mountains and green waters, stretching river valleys, and lush green forests on the banks. The only oddity is the "person" standing in the foreground.
Maybe it shouldn't be described as "person", it's just a gray-black human silhouette.
The outline-like silhouette seemed to be covered with a light gray veil, and his head was turned away, so that his face could not be seen. It is obviously a painting that looks like a scribble at first glance, but it makes people feel faintly weird, and they start to feel anxious unconsciously.
"Youyou?" Jian Mingjia poked her, "Linyou?"
Lin You came back to her senses.
"Only it?" she asked, pointing to the painting.
"Um… "
Jian Mingjia looked at the few people who were still determined to find other clues but found nothing, "The only discovery."
"It's okay." The skull said at this time.
"Do you know what is on this painting?"
It asked itself and answered: "It's Tavel."
"One of the incarnations of Yog-Sothoth is relatively kinder to humans. At least we know who we are dealing with."
"But it's strange," Jian Mingjia waved the stack of papers in his hand, "Except that it's all waste paper, and there is no key clue left, how do you know what they are going to do next?"
Lin You: "In general, isn't it too clean?"
… Um
Jian Mingjia looked at her.
"The intrusion into the meeting may have aroused their vigilance, and they hurriedly packed up their things and abandoned this stronghold." Lin You held her chin, "It stands to reason that if things are thrown away in such a mess, one or two important things will always be left behind—but they didn't. "
"Rather than rushing to retreat in a panic, don't you think it's more like collecting useless things and throwing them all over the place?"
Jian Mingjia's complexion was a bit ugly, "You mean...?"
Lin You said "hmm".
"To give us the illusion that they made a hasty evacuation, but in reality—"
She pulled the back of a chair, "This is also the case, the angle is not right at all, no one can sit in it."
"It looks like the people sitting at the table are running away in a hurry, but they actually arranged the chairs like this on purpose after getting up."
— and light bulbs.
She reached out and touched the desk lamp that had been overturned on the table.
warm.
The weather can't be said to be very cool, but it is filled with a strange heat, which may have something to do with the Mystery Club here. Although the hotter it is, the harder it is to cool down, but it is estimated that the time is always the same.
"Twenty minutes ago at most," Lin You said, "There are still people in this conference hall."
Jian Mingjia: "..."
Depend on.
Wouldn't that be-
She suddenly heard footsteps approaching from the corner outside the door, and there was more than one person.
... a downright trap.
It's just that people are okay, if those guys send some monsters, it might be a bit difficult. Of course, as long as Lin You is here, there is no need to worry too much, they have fully experienced Luo Jing's fighting ability just now, but...
"It's more than that?"
"How do they know that we will definitely come here again?" Jian Mingjia thought more and more something was wrong, she was startled suddenly, "Could it be that someone is tipping off—"
The hordes of footsteps came closer and closer, and her voice ended when hooded figures appeared one after another at the door. No, rather, not because of this. Jian Mingjia's expression froze, and the word "letter" stuck in her throat, making her unable to speak out.
She stared at Lin You.
On the other side, Geng Qinghe also yelled out in shock, "Sister You-?!"
Lin You lowered her head.
In the gradually blurred vision, accompanied by a stabbing pain, she saw the blade penetrated her body, revealing a point of the blade shining with cold light.
The blade is very delicate, a sharp triangle.
Then it disappears.
"yes."
In front of the group of believers at the door, Gu Heng pulled out the beak-shaped dagger and let the blood soak into the hieroglyphs engraved on it.
He tightened his fingers, "I did it."
