Why are there only loser heroines around me?

Yanami read the reviews of this movie. Many people criticized it for being bad and the scary methods were very low-level, but there were also many people who praised the movie for its good horror atmosphere. The heroine was very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and her acting skills were top-notch. It was a pity that she had to be a horror movie actress.

Cinemas in Japan issued a strict order not to show this movie, but the curiosity of the Chinese people was too strong. They got their hands on a ladder and went out to watch the blurry version just to give it a try. Many people even bought tickets to fly to the United States, and even though they didn't understand English, they still wanted to watch the raw film.

The enthusiasm of people around the world for horror movies is a bit scary.

"Eh?" Yanami's two thumbs were hovering in the air. She was lying on the bed, put away her cell phone, and suddenly looked out the window where the sunlight was shining. She tilted her head slightly and looked blankly at the two little sparrows standing on the telephone pole outside the window, sticking to each other.

"Was I discussing a movie just now?" She touched her cheek, trying hard to recall, and then... various chat topics about "The Land of the Dead" poured out of her mind.

Bai Ma said that he watched the premiere of this movie in the United States. Toby said that the movie was really bad and he was not scared the whole time. It might be because he had been an investigator for so long that he had become immune to this kind of thing. Youjing said that someone sent him the original translation of the Blu-ray on the first day of the movie's release. He finished watching it that day and felt that the online reviews were very objective.

Its method of scaring people is basically to suddenly appear in a dark environment and kill them in the face.

And the second type of "face-to-face kill" appears in the "blank shot" that is suddenly left blank.

It is the kind of horror thriller that you just watch and forget about, and it won't cause the audience to think deeply. It can be called an adventure film, but after watching the whole thing, the only impression left in his mind was that "the heroine looks good, and her dressing style is very sexy."

When he got to this point, Youjing was suddenly stunned.

Was he just discussing movies? It felt like they were still discussing something else a few minutes ago...

Yanami, who was lying in bed, sent a message to Ukyo, asking him if he found anything strange.

For example...suddenly forgot something.

Ukyo replied to her, yes, but also no.

He was just reading historical materials about the Egyptian pyramids. If there was anything strange, it was probably that when he put the book back on the shelf, he found that there was suddenly a book on it that he had never read before, "100 Cooking Recipes with Home Ingredients", as well as many horror online novels that were already on the shelves.

He didn't remember buying them.

But he did order a large number of books some time ago, and he put them all on the bookshelf after they arrived.

It's normal to have some books that you haven't had time to read and whose names you don't remember.

His sleep and rest schedule had been very irregular a few days ago, which resulted in his brain, which was as delicate as a mechanical watch dial, not having a very clear memory of many things. Yu Jing did feel that something was wrong at a certain moment. If he had to describe it, it would probably be like coming home at night and opening the refrigerator to find that the box of yogurt that should have been there had been taken away by someone, but his mother was at home, so he naturally assumed that his mother had drunk it.

I was briefly confused about the loss of something, but soon I came up with a reason that convinced me.

Volume 104: Chapter 7: He has to get his friends back! (K)

I was briefly confused about the loss of something, but soon I came up with a reason that convinced me.

...

Bai Ma vaguely remembered that he came to Massachusetts not because the client gave him a very high commission.

He is not like many detectives in the industry who entered the industry because of lack of money. He became a detective purely out of interest. For example, his visit to Maryland this time was "out of interest."

Oh, right, he remembered! The white horse that was walking to Kingsport Church suddenly stopped. A detective like him who was "driven by interest" accepted commissions entirely based on interest. And it just so happened that this disappearance case that happened in Kingsport Church often aroused his greed, making him want to go to this remote area to explore the matter.

-

The first case occurred a month ago when a beautiful woman who had gone to church to confess that she had eaten a hazelnut cake from her neighbor's dinner party disappeared. That evening, the priest found a bloody severed foot on a bench in the first row of the church.

The next day, the priest who was supposed to report the case posted a job posting online first.

This church is recruiting one church cleaner who weighs over 150 pounds and is in good health. The monthly salary is $1 (due to the rapid changes in state policies, this salary does not include any social security benefits). Two nuns are also recruited (the monthly salary is $3000, and other benefits are the same as above).

[Unemployed people and those living alone are preferred. If you are interested, please go to Kingsport Church for an interview at 6:00 am every Monday.]

This interview information was very suspicious. The priest's first reaction after discovering the broken leg was not to report the case but to issue a job notice. This was even more bizarre and unusual in the eyes of local criminal police.

But the detectives could not use this recruitment notice as a reason to arrest Shen Bei. He was very prestigious in the local area. Being a church priest was just his part-time job. His main job was a lawyer who specialized in handling property disputes for local wealthy people. As long as the detectives were not crazy, in the "free America", no ordinary detective would dare to mess with such a person. This is Massachusetts, and there is no righteous Sheriff Gordon.

The second missing case involved a cleaner who saw the job posting and went for an interview.

He disappeared two days after taking up his post. This time, no severed leg was left in the church. The family relationship of this newly unemployed homeless man was strained, so no one noticed his disappearance. However, the network of night watchmen is spread all over the world, and on the first day of the incident, a local night watchman noticed the incident and went to investigate.

So he became the third missing person.

After this, a psychic detective took over a commission near Kingsport Church. The place where he took the commission was not the church, but an old mountain house more than an hour's walk away from the church. He had successfully completed the commission and was about to return, but for unknown reasons he became the fourth missing person.

"Who is this guy...?" Bai Ma, who was walking on a mountain path, rubbed his chin and wondered about the identity of the fourth missing person.

The old country house was right in front of him, and he saw two of his companions walking towards him from another path in the mountains.

She was petite, with a decent appearance, wearing a white beret on her head and leaning on a cane, looking like a lady from a wealthy family. Her left knee moved a little abnormally.

Following her was a rather tall and handsome guy in sportswear.

The two are very famous "detective couple" in the circle, Kotoko Iwanaga and Kuro Sakuragawa. Although the latter has not admitted it, everyone has already tacitly accepted that this pair is a model couple, which is inconsistent with another super pair in Japan. Everyone thinks that they will get married sooner or later.

But the couple next door is not so sure.

In both pairs, the women attacked the men, the only difference is that one side's attack was as relentless as a storm, while the other side only touched the surface. Sakuragawa Kuro's defense was considered top-notch among people in the circle, but he was still successfully defeated by Kotoko using various tricks. Hakuba sent a private message to Yanami, asking her to seek advice from Kotoko when she encountered love problems. This man is the master of love. I don't know if the girl far away in Japan listened to him.

Of course, worrying about other people's love affairs was just a spice of life when there were no cases to investigate. Bai Ma displayed a standard smile of a British gentleman, greeted the couple across from him, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Are young ladies from wealthy families also investigating cases in villas because of the high commission? Let me guess, what commission you received..."

"No need to guess, it's a missing persons investigation," Iwanaga Kotoko explained bluntly. "The client is anonymous, and we discussed the matter using LINE. Pretty sloppy, isn't it? And yet they just casually wired us $50 and offered to provide us with any firearms available in the US, free of charge."

"Oh?" Bai Ma wasn't an exorcist before the paranormal resurgence began, but he was a well-known detective in the industry. He accurately grasped useful information from this conversation. "It seems your employer is certain you'll be in danger."

"That's not the case," Kotoko said. "The employer might just think we'll be safer if we have guns."

"No," Bai Ma retorted. "Not only did they pay you the commission, they also provided you with weapons. This isn't the mindset of a normal client. Think about it: if you diligently approached someone, gave them a large sum of money owed, and provided them with a large number of weapons, what did you expect them to do?"

Iwanaga Kotoko subconsciously said, "Murder?"

"Right." Hakuba retained the habit of snapping his fingers, a favorite of every famous steamed egg custard. After a "snap~" sound, he indicated that Kotoko was right. "It seems more like your employer wants you to kill something."

He looked up at the villa's exterior, which was covered in dark green vines. "Let me hazard a guess. Your employer might be the owner of this old house. He might have seen something inside... or maybe he's not sure what's inside."

"Do you have any other information about that mysterious employer?"

Kotoko said, "He uses a clown as his profile picture."

The white horse took a half step back, his face turning a little pale.

That guy has a very bad reputation in the circle, and he has made all the detectives very anxious. If it weren't for Ukyo providing the clue that "the heart might be hidden in the demon world", most of them might have said goodbye to Beautiful World.

"This avatar is not useful."

Kotoko put her right hand to her lips and smiled with a look of pure derision. "Even Hakuba-sama, Britain's most famous detective, used Ukyo's clues to get rid of the Joker? I came up with a plan on the second day of the game, didn't I, Kuro?"

Sakuragawa Kuro, who was carrying a huge mountaineering bag full of hot weapons on his back, smiled helplessly.

Many monsters in Japan are willing to sacrifice their lives for the "Monster Queen", and some of the most heinous monsters are also willing to die for the queen, so Kotoko's solution is to "transfer her heart". Her body organs have been taken away once, so she is quite familiar with handling similar incidents for the second time.

"Why are you here?"

Interest, Bai Ma really wants to say interest. As a psychic detective who is motivated by interest, he can appear anywhere in the world, but...

A sense of incongruity appeared again. He always felt that he came here with some "purpose" before getting on the plane.

"Interest." Bai Ma finally said this.

......

...

One day later.

Ukyo received a message.

The sender is Bai Ma.

There is only one letter: "S".

A question mark slowly formed in his mind. What did "S" mean? What kind of riddle was this guy trying to pull? He didn't have time to speculate. The Onmyoji "Tsuchimikado" specially hired by Shi Fugao had asked him to come to the school for a final round of supernatural screening. If there were no problems this time, school would be able to reopen tomorrow.

So Ukyo came with his own "initial team".

The prefix "preliminary" is added because the other two members besides Yanami are still in the "to be determined" status.

Xiaoju, holding a giant nodachi, was patrolling near the sports warehouse. Between the two fingers of her other hand was a "Laojun Demon-Seeking Talisman". As long as there was any abnormality within three meters of her, the talisman would light up with orange light.

She looked up through the gaps between the dead leaves. Ukyo was standing on the highest rooftop of the school, overlooking the entire campus. His presence was more powerful than any offensive barrier, and his presence itself could deter villains. Although the video of Ukyo's fight with the Cyclops was not spread through the human Internet, it was widely circulated in the circle of local monsters. The place where they fought that day was in the woods on the side of the Toyohashi Art Museum, and where there are trees, there are monsters.

Several dead leaf spirits that might not even survive this autumn, several old tree spirits stuck in place, a squirrel spirit carrying pine nuts for the winter... Many demons whose spirits had regained consciousness witnessed the battle. The poor old tree spirits were nearly burned to death by the black flames. When other demons later spoke of such a terrifying thing, they were terrified and warned the younger demons to stay away! Remember not to provoke the Plague God!

...

"He is so domineering that he looks like another sun." Tian Aixing appeared beside Xiaoju at some point and looked up with her.

"you....."

never mind....

Xiaoju really wanted to say something. She felt that Tian Aixing's praise for Youjing in all aspects was a bit too exaggerated. She was not referring only to the domineering sentence just now, but all the praises Tian Aixing gave to Youjing at any time and any place.

Although Youjing had clearly refused very decisively on the day of the dinner, Tian Aixing refused to give up and even seemed to be getting more courageous with each setback.

Ukyo, who was on the roof, noticed the gazes of the two people, but he had no time to pay attention.

The sound of fierce fighting came from the next floor of the rooftop. Yanami thrust the "Gentleman's Accessory Sword" in his hand into the throat (hole of the desk) of a desk. This was a very aggressive Tsukumogami. Yanami smelled a smell of stinky feet from it. It must have suffered a lot of torture in its life. Some of its unethical previous owners must have put their feet in there more than once during class.

This is the third Tsukumogami she has dealt with today. This is the fate of a poor worker. The boss can enjoy the fresh air on the rooftop and act cool in front of his two new brothers, but the old employees are miserable because she has to do all the dirty work.

The good news is that there are basically no big monsters in the school dormitory. As long as she finishes the cleaning work on this floor, she can go to the rooftop to meet Ukyo. When Yana thinks that she will meet Ukyo soon, her hands can't help but move faster. She kicks the desk out of the glass with a flying knee. This thing can't fly, and it will most likely die if it falls from the seventh floor.

Xiaoju and Tian Aixing, who were in position downstairs, immediately went forward to finish off the enemy, while Yanami also stepped on the stairs to the seventh floor and rushed up to the rooftop with a "thump thump thump~" sound.

"Ukyo!"

The long azure hair was blown up by the autumn wind on the rooftop, and along with it, the hem of the girl's autumn school uniform fluttered in the air. She wore a thick base layer underneath, but she was still a little shy, and quickly reached out to hold down the flying hem of her skirt.

Image: "Rooftop", Location: "Images/1730819447-100416414-112310080.jpg"

But Ukyo's eyes never glanced under the girl's skirt. He was thinking about what the "S" sent by Hakuba meant.

Sad? Safe?

There was no message in the private messages between him and Bai Ma. They weren't even friends. The message was initiated from a temporary conversation in the Night Watch channel. He replied to Bai Ma with a question mark. When the other party didn't respond, he typed again and asked, "What happened?"

The other party still did not reply. Youjing saw that his IP address was displayed in Massachusetts. The guy seemed to have said not long ago that he would go there to investigate the case.

Someone who had never contacted him privately suddenly sent him a message. If it wasn't a boring prank, then the other party must have something urgent. The only thing Youjing could think of was "SOS".

SOS is not the abbreviation of any word, but the international Morse code distress signal, but S is likely to be the beginning of a word, and he may want to convey some message.

S? Was it the commission level? Ukyo remembered that Hakuba had gone to Massachusetts to investigate a missing person case, and no one paid him, so he went there on his own.

Kotoko Iwanaga is also in Mazhou, maybe they have already met. If you want to know how Hakuba is doing, maybe you can find Kotoko Iwanaga.

Youjing closed her chat box. The last private message between the two was about the clown incident. They usually talked about things in the Night Watch channel and rarely used the private chat window.

He sent a message to Kotoko, and Yana saw this as she leaned over from the side of his arm and looked at the screen.

Although he didn't know what Ukyo wanted to do with Kotoko, he definitely wouldn't send a private message to anyone casually, so Yanami concluded that it was an urgent matter.

"I have Kotoko's number and Sakuragawa Kuro's number in my phone."

Youjing was stunned. Her ability to sense the atmosphere had improved again.

"Thank you for your help," Ukyo said. "You've all worked hard this morning. Let's let Xiaoju choose a place and have lunch first."

Kotoko and Hakuba are both investigating a case, so it might not be easy to get through to their phones. At least when Ukyo himself is investigating a case, his phone will remain silent.

Yanami kept the phone on the call, then opened Xiaoju's chat box and asked her to choose a place to eat.

No one answered Kotoko's phone.

The same goes for Kuro Sakuragawa.

Yanami looked towards Ukyo.

But suddenly, a look of surprise flashed across their eyes as they met.

Yanai looked stunned and said, "Let's see what we are going to do."

Ukyo said, "Let's choose a place to eat."

Yanai saw that the two undialed call records on his phone had disappeared.

At the same time, the "S" sent by Hakuba disappeared from Ukyo's phone.

In the Night Watch channel, the number of group members that was supposed to be "84" became "82" when no one paid attention.

.......

10 minute later.
