Chapter 2826 Kyoto (Crimson Knot Finally Cleared)
For Shizuku, Kyoto is considered a good tourist attraction, and it is also a place that is quite suitable for living.
All kinds of ancient buildings and large courtyard houses are not as prosperous as Tokyo's modern times, but they reveal a unique sense of tranquility and comfort. Walking on the street, there is quite a sense of isolation from the world.
If you find a yard here, sit on tatami mats, drink tea while listening to the soft drizzle outside, it will be quite unique.
It's a pity that my family is too small, and if I buy a big yard, it will become a haunted house.
Thinking of this, Shizuku looked away and looked at Hara Masako who was walking beside her. At this moment, she was still dressed in a kimono, walking on the streets of Kyoto full of ancient styles, giving people the feeling that she had traveled from the Edo period same as people.
For Shizuku, she likes the design of kimono very much.
The dress emphasizes the figure and highlights the chest, waist and buttocks, but the kimono is more restrained. If we use culture as a metaphor, then dresses are more extroverted, and all of their designs are designed to bring out the charm and beauty of women's bodies. The subtext is actually to attract men, telling them to "look at me, conquer me, own me"-the essence is no different from a millionaire putting a box of gold in front of everyone for them to watch.
But the culture of kimono is introverted, and the subtext it expresses is "conservative" and "protective". Whether it is a heavy belt or a single dress, it is to show the viewer that "I am not a casual woman, please don't shoot me".
However, this makes people more and more urge and desire to find out.
If you use a game as an example, then the strategy suit is like Wushuang, as long as you kill enough enemies, you can "the enemy is ashamed, I will take off her clothes."
The kimono is more like stealth, you sneak past the overlapping guards, peel off layer after layer of protection, and then get the treasure guarded by it...
Just like Yuanzhen Shazi who was walking beside me at the moment, looking at her white and slender neck exposed from the neckline, it was hard not to think about it. For example, the cuffs of a girl sitting on the tatami mat fell off, and the wide kimono slid down her body, slowly revealing her round fragrant shoulders and snow-white skin, as if the curtain on the stage was gradually raised, revealing everything hidden inside. revealing...
"... Are you listening to me, Ms. Kasugano?"
Yuanzhen Sako's voice came from next to her ear, which brought Shizuku back to her senses immediately.
"Of course, vampires... To be honest, I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Kyoto."
"Yeah, frankly I don't believe it either, but things are getting more and more complicated now."
Yuanzhen Sako obviously didn't expect that Shizuku was staring at her neck just now, thinking about something that could write tens of thousands of words of documentary novels, so she raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and sighed.
"Elementary school students, middle school students, college students, office workers...several people have been killed now, and some people were killed in just a few minutes when the boss turned around and left when he was picking fabrics in a fabric store."
Having said this, Yuan Zhen Shazi also frowned, with a bitter expression on his face. She is a psychic, and she is helpless in the face of monsters. Especially foreign monsters like vampires are no different from aliens to Yuan Zhensha.
The reason why Hara Masako entrusted Shizuku to take charge this time is because Kyoto is their family's territory, and they are naturally responsible for the things about demons and ghosts that happened in Kyoto. It was as if they were the rulers behind the scenes. If they couldn't solve these troubles, the status and prestige of the Yuan family in Kyoto would inevitably decline.
In fact, this is also what Yuanzhen Shazi is worried about.
Relying on Japan's inherent class, the Yuan family is not short of money, and has certain connections in the political and financial circles. But in terms of spiritual power, the Yuan family has begun to decline. Yuan Zhen Shazi can be regarded as the strongest spiritual power user in the Yuan family, and all she can do is talk to spirits and be possessed by spirits. things. Even so, her spiritual power was gradually weakening, which made Yuanzhen Shazi very uneasy.
So she desperately hopes to establish a good relationship with Shizuku and make friends with her—it's like a martial arts sect. She can't do it herself, but if she can get to know a few famous martial arts seniors, she can also make friends with Shizuku in times of crisis. Make a big banner.
"So, the blood in the corpse has been sucked dry?"
"Yes, and there are tooth marks on the necks of several victims, so they are considered to be vampires. But... are there any vampires that come out during the day?"
"Well... it depends on the situation."
Thinking of this, Shizuku couldn't help thinking of the vampires she knew, whether it was Akkad, the policewoman, or Sophie and Leticia, they seemed to have nothing to do with the day.
Especially the latter had to leave a suicide note in advance when they went out during the day, so they probably didn't have the strength to suck blood.
Alquite and Eltruchi, the true ancestors of the moon world, don't seem to care about this. They go out to wander around no matter day or night, but the other Dead Apostles are very afraid of the sun.
Krulu doesn't seem to be afraid of the sun?
Forget it, the situation in each world is different, and it cannot be generalized.
"May I go and see the body?"
Shizuku thought for a while, and decided to go and see the corpse first. When Fangzheng was Ellie, he did a lot of work in Xianjinjima, so he was familiar with it.
"Of course, no problem."
As a local snake, if you can't even handle this, then Yuan Zhensha should not mess around.
There are no mobile phones in this era, but a local snake lady like Yuan Zhen Shazi doesn't want a mobile phone either, she just made a gesture, and immediately an old man like a housekeeper came over, and then Yuan Zhen Shazi whispered a few words to him, The latter nodded and left, and then Hara Masako looked at Shizuku.
"Miss Kasugano, please follow me."
Look, simple and direct, convenient and fast.
Soon, Shizuku saw the corpse in the morgue under the leadership of Hara Masako, but... the situation of the corpse was beyond Shizuku's imagination.
"There's something wrong with this corpse..."
Looking at the corpse lying in front of her and the autopsy report next to her, Shizuku couldn't help frowning. It's not that the corpse is in bad condition, on the contrary, it's that the corpse is in great condition.
In many worlds, Fangzheng has seen the horrific scenes of the victims of vampires after they sucked blood. Some were shriveled into mummies, and some were bitten like wild beasts with blood and flesh.
However, the feeling of this corpse right now is very strange. Strictly speaking, it does not look like a corpse at all, but more like a sleeping person——of course, except for her livid and corpse-like color.
"The wound is not that big... Well, this vampire should not be male."
Shizuku turned the corpse's neck, carefully observed the wound on the neck, and then made a judgment.
On the contrary, Yuanzhen Sako seemed a little dazed at Shizuku's professional approach like a forensic doctor in front of her. The incident swept over, and anyone who dared to stand in the way was crushed to death.
Although it's not very good to say that, in Hara Masako's view, Shizuku doesn't seem too technical.
Of course she didn't know that in Xianshen Island in another world, Fangzheng's other avatar, Ellie, did just that.
"Is it a woman?"
"Well, the wound is not that big. Judging from the tooth marks, it should be a young woman, not more than eighteen years old..."
Speaking of this, Shizuku subconsciously wanted to ask Yuanzhen Sako for monitoring, and then realized that it is the end of the 1980s, and laptop computers are probably not in the world, where can I find monitoring...
"Show me a map of the victims."
"OK."
Yuanzhen Shazi handed over the map, Shizuku scanned it, and soon found that the locations of these victims were relatively close together, it seems... Rabbits also eat grass by the side of their nests.
"Are there any facilities nearby? Like a school or something?"
"There are schools, ranging from elementary school to high school."
"Is it a girls' school?"
"yes."
"knew."
Hearing Hara Masako's answer, Shizuku nodded.
It seems that if you want to find clues, you should start here... So soon, Shizuku bid farewell to Yuanzhen Sako and began to stroll around the nearby school.
The tooth marks are very obvious, it should be the marks of a young girl's teeth biting through the skin. Although there is no way to judge the exact age, Shizuku can almost guess that the other party is no more than sixteen or seventeen years old at this point. And it is very likely that they are disguised as students to hunt here, so the next step is much easier, just look around and see if you can smell blood... Huh?
At this moment, there was a faint smell of blood, Shizuku turned his head to look, and saw a girl walking by him not far away, walking towards the intersection.
It was a beautiful girl with long silver hair. She was wearing a school uniform and tied a pair of ponytails. She looked quite noble and beautiful. However, for some reason, everyone around her seemed to turn a blind eye to her, and the girl seemed to not care about them at all, so she just walked towards the end of the street.
Is it her?
Looking at the silver-haired girl, Shizuku raised her eyebrows, and then quietly followed her.
In order to lure out the vampire, Shizuku did not use his dragon power, but restrained his breath. After all, vampires are quite sensitive to the breath of undead and monsters. This time, I have received the commission from Yuan Zhensha to destroy the monsters. It would not be a good thing if the other party slipped away.
The girl was completely unaware of Shizuku who was following behind her. She just walked across the street like this, and then disappeared on a trail in the nearby forest.
"Oh..."
Seeing this, Shizuku narrowed her eyes immediately.
The beautiful girl, the smell of blood, the deserted forest... Well, she felt that she should have found her target this time.
While thinking, Shizuku smiled and followed closely.
As expected, shortly after following the girl into the forest, Shizuku lost track of the girl. At this moment, the night is dark, and the forest is so dark that people can't tell the north, south, east, and west. But of course Shizuku couldn't be fooled by this level of tricks, she raised her right hand and snapped her fingers lightly.
"Snapped."
The next moment, the surrounding scenes suddenly began to change. The towering trees distorted like an illusion, and then disappeared, and then, a western castle slowly emerged in the forest.
Seeing this scene, Shizuku nodded in satisfaction.
It seems that he has found his prey.
