Chapter 2427 Full Moon Night

After receiving Nangong Natsuki's entrustment, Ellie left the school while school was over, handed Nagisa and the others over to Yukina to take care of them, and took the tram to the artificial island No. 12 by herself.

On the tram, Ellie also took this opportunity to investigate information about the No. 12 artificial island.

According to intelligence, the No. 12 artificial island was built by a chaebol named the Kirijo Consortium, and it was mainly used for psychological research and spiritual treatment. Therefore, compared with other artificial islands, this artificial island lacks a lot of modern flavor, and its main focus is "healing the soul in the countryside and nature".

However, ten years ago, an accident occurred in the research institute of the Kirijo Foundation, causing a large number of casualties. After that, the entire research institute was closed, and the entire artificial island was in a semi-abandoned state. The artificial island No. 12 feels more like a rural area of ​​Itogami Island. At present, artificial island No. 12 has already lost its original function, and is mainly responsible for agricultural work such as crop cultivation.

The assisted investigation report this time came from the Iwato Station Branch of No. 12 Artificial Island. According to the information passed on, there have been three serial killings so far. The victims are the host of the TV station and the clerk of the convenience store. Dagongmei and the director of the twelfth artificial island.

There were no witnesses in the three cases, and the police did not find any traces left by the criminals at the scene. There were also no traces of magic, curses, superpowers and other auras. However, the tragic death of the deceased did not look like suicide no matter what, so the Iwatodai branch requested the artificial island management association to assist in the investigation, hoping that the magician could come to investigate this.

As for the "Late Night TV" strange talk, according to intelligence, it appeared after the first victim TV host disappeared. According to the discussions on the website and forums, everyone thought it was because the hostess died with a grievance. Such supernatural events will occur.

As for the second convenience store migrant girl who died, she was interviewed by a TV host before she was alive. According to the information of her classmates, some of them saw the shadow of the migrant girl on TV, and then she disappeared the next day. The body was found after a rainy night on the second day of the disappearance.

At present, the director of the twelfth artificial island, the third deceased, found after investigation that he had an improper underground relationship with the first deceased. developed by people.

Of course, if it’s just like this, then it’s not surprising. Similar content will appear in many urban ghost stories, such as someone who died wronged, and then some weird situation occurs, and it’s not surprising to find some ghosts to replace the dead. But this time, since professionals have been sent to investigate, there is still no sign of curses and magic... This is very strange.

"Ok………?"

While Ellie was looking up the information, suddenly, she felt a blue light in the corner of her eyes. Ellie raised her head, looked to the left, and saw a butterfly with blue wings flying around in the carriage. , it flapped its wings and flew from one side of the car to the other side of the car, and then gradually disappeared.

"........."

Looking at the blue butterfly, Ellie narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then looked away again.

At the same time, the announcement of the train rang in her ears.

"I'm very sorry, passengers, because of the route, the driving time is greatly chaotic, causing inconvenience to all passengers, and I would like to express my sincere apologies again..."

When Ellie came to the tram platform of the twelfth artificial island, it was already late at night.

"I didn't expect that it was a rare time to take the tram, and it was still late. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have taken it."

After getting off the tram, Ellie stretched her waist and complained. Because this case is more troublesome, she needs to investigate some intelligence, so Ellie chooses to travel by tram instead of projecting a broom as usual. After all, she didn't want to watch her phone bump into a telephone pole, that would be embarrassing.

The artificial island No. 12 seemed to have very few people coming and going on weekdays, and there were only two or three people in the tram late at night. They got out of the tram, and then hurriedly walked towards the exit. Ellie looked around for a while, and then came to the security room of the station.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Aili, a magician, and I have something to ask."

"Ah, hello, Miss Attack Magician."

Seeing the license shown by Ellie in front of him, the guards who were on duty in the security room immediately became cautious——for people like them in the "countryside", a magician is just like an FBI agent , belongs to the existence that only appears in movies and legends.

"May I ask what you want to ask?"

"Have you heard the rumor about 'Late Night TV'?"

"Ah, this matter..."

Hearing this, the guard also clapped his hands.

"Of course, people outside may not know it, but 'Late Night TV' is very famous here. To be honest, I have seen it before."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ellie squinted her eyes and glanced at the small TV in the duty room—this is why she asked the guards on the tram platform. Might see late night TV.

"Can you be more specific?"

While talking, Ellie took out the recorder, and the latter nodded.

"Well, no problem, I remember it very clearly, it was a rainy night, I was on the night shift, and the TV series "Goemon", which I like very much, was on the TV, and when I saw half of it, It seems that it was because of the thunderstorm. The power suddenly went out. At that time, I suspected that it was a trip. Just when I was going to check the situation of the switch, the TV suddenly turned on..."

Recalling that scene at that time, the guard seemed a little nervous and uneasy.

"At that time, I didn't think much about it. I thought it was a call...but at that time...the content on the TV was very strange..."

"What exactly is it?"

"Uh... I don't know too well."

The guard shook his head.

"Honestly, the picture on TV was so blurry at the time, it looked like it was filmed in a thick fog, and I could only see a figure dancing in it, which looked funny and a bit exaggerated... Then I thought When I got up, the power went out, and it was impossible for the TV to start..."

"and then?"

"That's all for the first night."

Facing Ellie's questioning, the guard shook his head.

"Then on the second rainy night, out of curiosity, I turned off the TV according to the urban legend, and then waited until about two o'clock in the middle of the night, when the TV was turned on again, and this time I could clearly see the figures inside. It's a girl, not very old, she should be a high school student, she seems to be performing some kind of show..."

"programme?"

"Yeah, it's kind of like a variety show, I saw there was a stage, and there was an audience, and then she was there shouting, and then the show ended... Then the next day, I heard that the girl The child died..."

Speaking of this, the guard's face was ashen. If it was in the outside world, this kind of thing would have been laughed off, but it is because it is in the Demon Special Zone that it has enough credibility.

"Everyone said that late night TV was the curse of the hostess of the TV station, because she was dumped by the director, so she committed suicide with resentment, and then used late night TV to revenge everyone..."

"That is to say, only the TV with the power off can see that weird program, and you can't see it with the TV on, right?"

"That's right."

"very good."

Ellie lowered her head, sorted out the records, then looked at the guard again and asked.

"Then I have another question..."

However, Ellie stopped before finishing her sentence.

Because at this moment, what stood in front of Ellie was no longer the burly guard just now, but a pitch-black hexagonal coffin, which stood upright on the ground like this, motionless.

"........."

It wasn't until this time that Ellie realized that the electrical appliances around her seemed to have stopped moving. She glanced at her mobile phone and saw that the time displayed on it was twelve midnight.

The bright moonlight came in from the window, painting the whole room in a miserable green color. If you looked carefully, you could see blood seeping out of the corners and crevices around it. It feels like a very scary haunted house.

what happened?

Ellie took two steps back and carefully looked at the coffin in front of her. Then she turned and walked out of the security room. There was no one in the station at the moment. When she walked to the exit, Ellie found that the street in front of her was empty. On the contrary, there were only black coffins erected in twos and threes on the street. It looks quite intrusive.

"Judging from the situation just now, have the people on this artificial island become coffins?"

Ellie walked to a black coffin and took a closer look.

"The guard didn't tell me that such a thing would happen, and there is no similar situation according to the searched intelligence. That is to say, the person who turned into a coffin will not have any perception and no memory. There is this Why wasn’t it mentioned in the previous report? Is it because the members of the branch didn’t feel it?”

While muttering to herself, Ellie raised her head and looked at the night sky in front of her.

Under the night, a huge moon leaped above it. Under the moonlight, the entire No. 12 artificial island seemed to be shrouded by some unknown curse, emitting a breath of death like a cemetery. Not only that, Ellie could also feel that in this darkness, There is also a certain frenzied and ferocious aura hidden.

"It's kind of weird..."
