In the alley, among the ruins after the fire was extinguished.
Takagi Wataru held a fire extinguisher and asked the firefighters about the situation at the scene while using the fire extinguisher to extinguish the remaining sparks on the ground.
All the animal carcasses have been moved away from the place where the animal carcasses were piled up before. Shiratori Rensaburo and Police Officer Gongchang squatted on the ground, looking at the strange symbols on the ground together, both frowning:
"...Sure enough, there are these strange symbols underneath the corpses tonight..."
"Officer Gong, can I ask you, do you know what these symbols represent?"
"Sorry, it's not clear yet. When we first saw this kind of symbol, we asked a professor from Dongdu University for advice. He didn't know what these symbols were. He just said that they might be some kind of characters, and they were related to sacrifices.
related……"
"Is it related to the sacrifice?" Shiratori Rensaburo squinted his eyes, and suddenly thought of Shu Yunwen in his mind, thinking solemnly, while Officer Gongzhang turned to look at the entrance of the alley, and said strangely:
"What's going on outside? Since just now, the noise of the people seems to have become much quieter. Have they finally dispersed?"
Officer Gong Chang was talking. After seeing the scene at the entrance of the alley, he suddenly said "uh" and looked confused: "...This, this is..."
"What happened? Officer Gongchang?" Shiratiao noticed that Officer Gongzhang's voice had changed, and looked at the entrance of the alley strangely. The corner of his mouth twitched twice, and then he was confused——
Damn it! What the hell is this?
The members of the violent gang who have always been kind to the people and helped maintain order actually squeezed a way out of the crowd? Also, the man standing in the middle of the road and walking in...
Is it Shu Yunwen?
What the hell is this guy doing?!
Under the confused gazes of the two, Shu Yunwen, Loli Ai, and Kimijima Kana walked up to them quickly, then waved their hands and greeted: "...Officer Shiratori, hello! And Officer Gongchang, how are you too?
!~”
"Uh..." Officer Bowser's mouth twitched twice, and then he looked at Shu Yunwen and the others, "...Are you Kana Kimijima? The high school girl who said last night that there were human corpses under the dead animals? And you...
…Are you the Shu Yunwen that Mu Mu often talks about?"
"Hahaha... That's right!~" Shu Yunwen nodded, smiled and said hello, "... I didn't expect that Officer Mu Mu would mention me to you!"
"Hehehe...yeah..." Officer Gong Chang laughed dryly, and then glanced at the big men in black at the entrance of the alley with a speechless expression, his eyelids twitching wildly——
The fat fox in Memu was indeed right. Look at the scene when this guy walked in just now... He is simply addicted to the underworld and can't extricate himself!
Officer Gongchang complained in his heart, and then looked at Shu Yunwen and said: "...I'm sorry, may I ask, what do you guys want to do when you come in?"
After Officer Gong finished speaking, before Shu Yunwen had time to answer, Bai Niao had already spoken: "...Officer Gong, Yunwen and the others were invited by me to help with the investigation..."
"That's it!" Officer Gong Chang nodded after hearing this and was about to say something else. A police officer from the fire search department next to him called out "Officer Gong." Commander Gong quickly apologized and walked away quickly.
As soon as Officer Gongzhang left, Bai Niao immediately bowed slightly to Shu Yunwen and said, "I'm sorry, Master Yunwen, I really caused trouble to you by asking you to come here all the way!"
"Officer Bai Niao, you're welcome, it's me who has caused you trouble..." Shu Yunwen said, opening his [Yin Yang Eyes] to scan, and then his eyes fell on the ground in front of Bai Niao, frowning and saying, "...
...This is where the corpses are piled up, right? And these runes..."
Bai Niao was slightly stunned when he heard Shu Yunwen's words, then his eyes lit up and he said: "...Master Yunwen, do you recognize these strange symbols?"
"Yes!" Shu Yunwen nodded and explained in a low voice, "...these are Chi You runes, special runes used by some evil wizards in sacrifices..."
"Witch?" Officer Shiratiao looked shocked when he heard this, "...Are you telling the truth? So this serial arson case..."
"Someone is performing a fire sacrifice! The arsonist wants to gain control of flames through the fire sacrifice... uh..." Shu Yunwen was talking when he suddenly thought that letting ordinary people know that the "Fire God Sacrifice Technique" is not a good thing.
He stopped in the middle and casually ordered: "...well, what I just said to you is confidential and don't tell others."
"I understand, Lord Yunwen, I will keep it a secret and will never tell anyone." Shiratori Rensaburo nodded immediately, and then asked seriously:
"...Sir Yunwen, regarding the arsonist, does he also have special powers?"
Special power?
In other words, if the arsonist cannot be found before the fire ceremony is completed, that guy will have the power to control fire once the fire ceremony is completed.
The fire-controlling horse is naturally nothing to Shu Yunwen, who has Cheng Shi, a fire-walking ghost, but ordinary people will definitely be helpless when faced with such a "monster".
"That arsonist...he is not simple, but also a bit dangerous. As for his special power..."
Shu Yunwen did not answer directly, but took out a lighter and lit it in front of the rune: "When you are investigating, you'd better be more careful..."
Officer Bainiao was stunned for a moment, thinking about Shu Yunwen's words. Then he saw the unknown runes written on the ground in front of him burning one after another, finally forming a green flame rune.
Bai Niao looked at this scene, his mouth wide open, and asked in disbelief: "...This, this is..."
"The power of runes and the dark world..." Shu Yunwen replied casually, looking at the shocked White Bird with a little pride, "... in short, try to be careful..."
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Bai Niao looked at the burning green runes in front of him and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, a "Caution" sound suddenly came from the side. Shu Yunwen and others looked up and saw Takagi Wataru holding a fire extinguisher in his hand. He rushed to Shu Yunwen and the others with a "swish" and then opened the fire extinguisher. "Chichichi"
"There was a burst of spraying, and everyone was suddenly plunged into a cloud of dry fire extinguisher powder.
A few seconds later, Takagi took the fire extinguisher away and breathed a sigh of relief: "...It's so dangerous! It's really strange, why is there a fire here?"
As Takagi spoke, the surrounding dry powder finally dispersed. Shu Yunwen, Loli Ai, Kimishima Kana and Shiratori all looked at Takagi with black lines on their foreheads, which made Takagi's scalp numb:
"Uh... I'm sorry, I saw there was a fire here, so... are you okay?"
Shu Yunwen patted the dry powder on his body, gritted his teeth and said: "...What do you think?!"
Damn it! I'm just pretending to be cool here and deliberately set the runes on fire, but you came to put out the fire...
Okay, let’s not talk about putting out fires. What do you mean by spraying dry powder all over me?
