Chapter 2803 Retrospective Investigation (Mass Effect Actually Publishes Japanese but Not Chinese)
"Miss Shizuku, what did you do just now?"
Walking into the gate of the ice house, Hinasaki asked in a low voice, while Shizuku smiled slightly.
"Leading the snake out of the hole... It can also be said to scare the snake out of the grass."
"Hey?"
"Just like the forest."
Shizuku stretched out her hand and drew a circle in front of the huge ice house.
"You should know that there are all kinds of animals in the forest, such as the harmless little white rabbit, the sinister and cunning poisonous snake, the goshawk soaring in the sky, the deer wandering in the forest, and the king of all beasts. The king's tiger... In fact, these ghost houses are the same, similar to the forest, there are harmless earthbound spirits in them, and quite dangerous evil spirits. But just like the animals in the forest, the ghost's territorial consciousness is Very strong."
Having said that, Shizuku turned to look at Hinasaki Crimson.
"You should have seen it on TV. In the animal world, if other predators invade their territory, the tigers or lions that were here will fight them to drive them away. And what I have now The same is true, the evil spirits in the ice house have been entrenched for a long time, and this place has long been their lair, and I sent a group of foreign undead to invade, and they will definitely not stand idly by."
"I see."
Hearing Shizuku's explanation, Hinasaki Crimson nodded, and then asked again.
"Then the evil spirit inside..."
"Basically all the hard-headed ones are dead, and the rest are either harmless little white rabbits, or poisonous snakes hiding in the grass, or..."
Having said this, Shizuku pondered for a moment, then looked at Hinasaki Crimson.
"From the report I got from the banshee just now, they don't seem to have found the breath of a living person in this mansion."
"……………yes………"
Hearing Shizuku's answer, Hinasaki's crimson complexion turned paler a lot. Of course, she understood the hidden meaning behind Shizuku's words. It was obvious that her brother might be in danger. The same is true when you think about it carefully. It has been at least two weeks and half a month since Hinasaki Mafuyu disappeared. Assuming he was not attacked by evil spirits, he was trapped in this mansion without water and food. How long can it last?
"Anyway, let's go in first."
Shizuku didn't comfort Hinasaki anymore, she thought that the other party was very clear, otherwise she wouldn't strongly ask to come together, maybe Hinasaki also felt that even if she became an evil spirit, if she could see her brother for the last time also good.
But among the evil spirits absorbed by Frostmourne just now, her brother was absent.
It was getting late, and the ice house was pitch black at the moment, the two walked into the entrance, then Hinasaki Crimson held up the flashlight and shone around, and at this moment, suddenly, she felt a chill coming from behind, At the same time, a voice rang in her ear.
"Please, help me..."
"———————————!"
Hearing this voice, Hinasaki Crimson hurriedly turned to look behind her, but there was no one there, only the tightly closed door.
"Miss Shizuku, just now..."
"do not worry."
Shizuku stretched out her hand, patted Hina Saki's crimson shoulder lightly, and looked at the door in front of her.
"It's just a lost little white rabbit... We won't hurt you, can you come out?"
"........."
After a while, I saw a figure slowly appearing in the empty void, she looked like just a child, wearing a very gorgeous and expensive kimono, with a long black straight hairstyle—— ——Well, the female ghost costume in the standard horror movie.
"My name is Kasugano Shizuku, she is Hinasaki Crimson, what's your name?"
Shizuku knelt down, stared at the girl in front of her, smiled and asked her softly, and the girl looked at Frostmourne floating beside Shizuku, obviously a little scared, but she still answered the question obediently.
"...the ice room...the ice room...the fog painting..."
"So Kiri, can you tell me what happened here? And the people who came here before, what happened to everyone?"
"Woo... woo..."
Facing Shizuku's question, this time the girl named Himuro Kirie began to cry bitterly while covering her face.
"The ceremony...the ceremony failed...everyone is dead...it's terrible, I don't want to...help me..."
After saying these words, Himuro Kirie's figure disappeared into the void again.
Hinasaki Crimson looked at this scene in surprise, and after the little girl disappeared, she also hurriedly looked at Shizuku.
"Miss Shizuku, that was just now..."
"Hmm...she said her name is Himuro Kirie...then she should be the victim of the previous tragedy at the Himuro Mansion. It seems that there is indeed something evil here..."
Shizuku murmured to herself, then shook her head.
"All in all, let's find your brother first."
The affairs of the dead can be dealt with at any time, but the affairs of the living should be dealt with as soon as possible.
Next, the two began to search in the mansion, but Hinasaki Crimson was obviously lucky. Not long after, she found an old-fashioned camera in the corridor on the second floor.
"Miss Shizuku, look, this belongs to my brother!"
While talking, Hina Saki Crimson hurriedly picked up the camera, and the next moment, she froze in place.
"Crimson? What's wrong with you? Miss Scarlet?"
From Shizuku's point of view, the crimson eyes are dull at this moment, and the whole person seems to be out of body. After a while, she trembled suddenly and regained consciousness.
"Miss Shizuku, I saw it, I saw my brother!"
"you saw it?"
"Yes, through this camera, I saw that at that time... my brother was running away from this side of the corridor with the camera, and there was something chasing him, many arms, many arms trying to grab him, and then Brother seems to have been caught, he..."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Seeing Hina Saki's deep red getting more and more excited, Shizuku also hurriedly pressed her shoulders, whispered a word of comfort, then she raised her hand and whistled.
"———————————!"
Accompanied by the sound of the whistle, the next moment, a ghost wolf with blue radiance emerged from Frostmourne, it came to Shizuku's side, and lowered its head.
"Find the owner of this camera."
Following Shizuku's order, the ghost wolf turned its head, sniffed the camera in Hinasaki's crimson hand, then turned his head again, sniffed the surroundings, and then roared, The other side of the corridor ran past.
"let's go!!"
Soon, Hinasaki Crimson stood up, hugged the camera and ran forward with Shizuku and followed the ghost wolf. I saw the ghost wolf scurrying around in the corridor. stopped in the empty room.
"How is this going?"
Looking at the ghost wolf who was motionless in place, Hinasaki Crimson suddenly became nervous.
Could it be that his brother has become a resentful spirit?
"Your brother may not be in this world."
"Hey?"
Hearing this, Hinasaki's face turned pale, her body swayed, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but soon Shizuku added a sentence.
"Maybe he's not dead yet."
"What's going on here? Miss Shizuku, didn't you just say that my brother is no longer in this world...?"
Facing Shizuku's answer, Hinasaki was deeply confused and didn't understand what it meant.
"Probably space fragments, space-time breaks, he is not in the ice house in the current timeline... Well, there are indeed some evil spirits who can play this kind of trick, and I haven't seen it before."
What Shizuku was talking about was what happened to Tenjin Elementary School in the love world back then. At that time, Sachiko used this trick to make all the people who entered Tenjin Elementary School try to survive or die, even if the two parties were close at hand, but because they were not there On a timeline, there is no way to even meet each other in the end.
"So what to do now?"
"Ok…………………"
Shizuku thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
"Miss Crimson, you said that you can learn about the past by touching objects, right?"
"Well, that's it..."
"So, can you..."
While speaking, Shizuku pointed to the wall in front of her.
"By touching the Ice House itself, can you see what happened here in the past?"
"Hey?"
"Now your brother is obviously not in this timeline. He is probably trapped in a fragmented space in the ice house. The first thing we need to do is to track his trajectory and find the place where he disappeared last. Then break the Space barrier, go to another space——this will be very troublesome, because there are countless space fragments, if you can’t determine the target, you can’t find his location, and you are brothers and sisters, I think the blood relationship should be able to let You sense where your brother is."
"Yeah, but I've never... and I'm not sure I can do it..."
Hearing Shizuku's suggestion, Hinasaki Crimson was stunned. She does have this ability, but she can't master it proficiently, but sometimes activates it and sometimes doesn't. Although theoretically speaking, he can indeed go back to the past by feeling everything about the ice house, but Hinasaki Crimson doesn't think she has such power.
"I'm here to help you."
Shizuku obviously has plans.
"I will inject my power into your body, so that you will have enough strength to go back in time, and I will observe with you... No problem."
"I... I'll try."
Although he hesitated in his heart, Hinasaki Crimson made up his mind to finally find his brother.
"what should I do?"
"First, one hand pressed against the wall, then one grabbed me."
While talking, Shizuku stretched out her right hand and interlocked with the slender fingers of Hinasaki Crimson's left hand. Then she got close to her, feeling the fragrance from the girl in front of her, Hinasaki Crimson suddenly felt her heart beating violently, she even felt her face was hot, and there was a burst of numbness in her body...
"Close your eyes."
Shizuku's voice echoed in Hinasaki's ear, the voice like a clear spring and deep valley made Hinasaki relax, but she still closed her eyes according to Shizuku's words. Afterwards, she could feel that the other's forehead was pressed against her own.
This immediately made Hinasaki Crimson nervous instinctively. Because of her spiritual power, Hinasaki Crimson had almost no friends since she was a child. Now her only relative is her brother, but she and her brother have never had any sex. Such an intimate gesture.
Of course, to Shizuku, this is nothing at all. It's not normal for girls to dawdle and rub each other, and she just puts her forehead on the other's forehead instead of resting her head on her chest. Not to mention getting between your legs, what kind of intimacy is this? It's just a normal contact, right?
It's just a normal contact.
But it is different for Hina Saki Crimson, because her eyes are closed, so her other senses are more acute. She could feel the warm body temperature of the girl on her forehead, as well as the close contact of her hands clasped tightly, which made Hinasaki crimson feel uneasy.
"I will now inject strength into your body."
Accompanied by Shizuku's words, Hinasaki Crimson felt a warm force pouring into her body from top to bottom. It was as if she was standing under the shower and being splashed with warm and comfortable hot water, which almost made her moan comfortably. But fortunately, Shizuku's voice reappeared in Hinasaki's deep red ears at this time, drawing her attention back.
"Now, focus your attention on the hand that is holding down the wall, and then try to recall, recall the feeling that triggers your regression in normal times... Yes, that's it..."
Under Shizuku's sweet and soft voice, Hinasaki's crimson consciousness gradually became blurred.
However, at the next moment, suddenly, her face suddenly turned.
The originally pitch-black scene turned white by the way.
