Chapter 352 Vigil for Murder Case in Shikatori Town
That night,
Mikael and others were sitting around in the side hall. The hands of the clock hanging on the wall made a "kaka" sound and kept turning. Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was ten o'clock in the evening.
For tonight's duty, Aozaki Orange prepared a large amount of original strong black coffee, and the kind without sugar or milk. Just a small sip is enough to make people throw away their sleepiness.
Perhaps considering that the murderer would arrive at any time, Kitahara Ryunosuke rubbed the pistol on his waist and looked nervously in the direction of the door, looking uneasy.
Kitahara Yuko was sitting in the hall holding a naginata, and her shrine maiden uniform was changed into something more convenient for sports. Although in order to get a better position as a palace minister in the future, she had to learn more about singing, dancing and etiquette.
Similar things, but the fighting skills have not fallen behind, and a comprehensive and balanced development has been achieved.
Compared with her restless brother, as a younger sister, she has a more general-like demeanor. If she were an ordinary murderer, she would probably not be her opponent.
Zhi sat on the threshold, playing with the short knife in her hand in various boredoms. She actually hoped that the murderer would appear earlier.
Kuroyukihime was holding a novel and reading it. It seemed that he didn't care about what was going to happen at all. But in fact, he was using reading as a cover to secretly look at everyone in the side hall.
After all, it is impossible to leave her own safety completely in the hands of others. She has also learned women's fighting skills, so if she really encounters the murderer, she will not be without the strength to fight.
Although Yuko's brother is a qualified policeman, he is relatively upright and simple, and it is difficult for him to confront the cunning murderer. Besides, even if he encounters difficulties, he will most likely help Yuko instead of himself.
.
The other three detectives are very suspicious. They feel like they are playing a detective game. Their lazy temperament does not seem like they are facing a difficult and vicious murder. If they really meet the murderer,
, those guys will definitely prioritize the murderer, not their own safety.
Thinking of this, Kuroyukihime couldn't help but sigh softly. She pinched her palms. To be honest, because of some special circumstances, she was confident to ensure her own safety.
Normally she is careful to hide it, but if she really faces a life or death crisis, she can only choose to expose her abilities. It is best to control her own life by herself.
………
………
After about another hour or so, the sky became increasingly gloomy. Dark clouds obscured the stars and the moon. Not a single ray of light could penetrate the thick clouds. The earth was completely submerged by the dark tide.
There seemed to be some kind of monotonous knocking sound faintly coming from the distance. The sound was getting closer and closer, echoing in Shikatori Shrine, bringing a sense of Zen to this ancient shrine built in the mountains.
"The fluctuation of magic power...is it some kind of magic that relies on sound waves?"
Aozaki Orange suddenly stood up and looked towards the direction of the sound. Unfortunately, it was in a dense forest in the distance. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything. The magic that was about to be blessed with [Far Sight] was nothing but better than nothing.
.
"It's just a simple hypnotic magic."
Mikael turned to look at the other people in the side hall. Fortunately, she had developed some of her body's abilities and was quite resistant to ordinary magic. At least the hypnotic magic couldn't do anything to her.
But others on the other side could not easily resist the effects of hypnotic magic. Kitahara Yuko and Kurogiri Hana fell into a deep sleep, while Kitahara Ryunosuke was still struggling hard, yawning continuously, trying to put himself out.
Heavy eyelids opened.
Perhaps due to the function of his will, he really overcame this sudden sleepiness and returned to his previous full of energy.
Mikael's eyes fell on Kitahara Ryunosuke's magic eyes, which obviously resisted the effect of hypnotic magic, which played an indispensable role in the magic eyes. It seems that these magic eyes not only have the ability to see through
Ability can also resist negative effects to a certain extent.
It seems that the level of this pair of magic eyes is a little higher than he expected, and it should have broken through the limit of gold.
"Why did I suddenly feel sleepy? I drank so much bitter coffee..."
Kitahara Ryunosuke murmured to himself, with a puzzled expression on his face. He picked up the coffee in front of him and drank it in one gulp. The bitter taste exploded on the tip of his tongue, making his face display a twisted and ferocious expression.
.
"It has nothing to do with coffee, it's the murderer who attacked us."
Mikael patted his shoulder and pointed to the location of Kitahara Yuko and Kurogiri Kawasaki. Only then did Kitahara Ryunosuke notice that they were sleeping deeply.
"Yuko——!"
He stepped forward and shook his sister's shoulders, trying to wake her up, but his efforts were all in vain. If he hadn't been breathing evenly, he almost thought something had happened to Yuko.
"You can't wake her up. Miss Beihara is already in a deep sleep. Unless there is a way to directly interfere with the soul, she can wake up from this state."
Aozaki Orange came over, checked their bodies, and found no other abnormalities, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Kitahara, your eyes should be able to see something different, right?"
"Eh--?"
Faced with Cheng Zi's straight-to-the-point question, Kitahara Ryunosuke was stunned. He scratched his head subconsciously, with a hesitant and tangled expression on his face.
Without hesitation for too long, he took a deep breath and seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart.
"Yes, I can indeed see some things that others can't see, but I have never told anyone else, not even my sister. After all, there are some things I see that are, uh... it's hard for me not to see them.
People who have experienced it understand.”
"By the way, is this related to my sister's deep sleep?"
At the end of the sentence, Kitahara Ryunosuke did not forget to add this sentence. Perhaps because he told the secret he had hidden in his heart, he seemed to feel a little more relaxed.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to say that your special ability is not unique to you. The murderer this time is definitely not an ordinary person. Like you, he is also a person with special abilities."
Aozaki Orange gave a brief introduction, but did not talk about the magic world. There is no need to tell Kitahara Ryunosuke about those things.
Although he has a magic eye, he probably prefers his current job as a police officer to living an ordinary life with little worries than entering the magic world.
"So do you also have special abilities?"
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Kitahara Ryunosuke asked cautiously.
"A detective who confronts criminals with special abilities cannot be an ordinary person no matter how you think about it."
