Chapter 110 Don't Always Think About Strange Things
He quickly figured out why he had resolutely refused the food offered by others before, but still fell into the trap - when he went to the woods to look for Shijing Reika, he had left the water cup for a while.
In this world, there are very few murderers who kill indiscriminately, so Shiraishi thought that as a passer-by who was unconcerned with the world, he just wanted to avoid being accidentally hurt, so he didn't pay attention to running around with a cup.
But now it seems that the person who administered the drug really came here for him.
This is not difficult to understand - in such a tense atmosphere, if a normally energetic person suddenly falls asleep, it will be easy for others to notice the problem.
But if it's a guy with narcolepsy...even if he suddenly falls asleep while walking, no one will suspect him.
...I am still careless. It seems that I will have to find a way to buy a water bottle with a combination lock in the future. Shiraishi thought about it and sighed again.
Speaking of which, why would Iljitaka attack passers-by?
Numerical names, plus drowned people...
Shiraishi recalled these two points hard, and finally a distant animation picture emerged in his mind - it was a luxurious restaurant built in the sea. The restaurant was surrounded by fish tanks, and there was a body floating in the fish tank.
The male corpse...
Hmm? It doesn’t seem like this.
Although this villa is used as a stronghold by the yacht club, it is obviously not in the sea, but on a mountain. It is impossible to have a grand scene like the fish tank in Shiraishi's impression, exploding, and then the seawater pours in.
I got distracted... Shiraishi shook his head and tried to change his mind.
Before I could think of anything, the surroundings suddenly went dark and the villa had a power outage.
Immediately afterwards, Shiraishi vaguely heard the sound of glass breaking.
"?" After listening for a few seconds, he poked his head out from under the sofa and wanted to go over and see what was going on.
In the end, she walked out and called again. Granny Mi next to her hesitated for a moment, stood up, and ran towards the direction of the sound with small steps.
This made Shiraishi, who originally wanted to go there, stop immediately.
He glanced at the direction where the noise came from, then looked at the main body on the sofa, hesitated for a moment, and finally returned to the main body.
Now that no one is watching, I can hide my body in the Poké Ball, otherwise I would feel uneasy if I left it outside.
Bai Shi was about to take action, but at this moment, the light screen suddenly popped up and floated in front of his eyes.
——Perhaps he realized that Shiraishi was a little confused about the mission. At this time, under [Liberating the Wandering Souls Haunted by Resentment], a mission detail was thoughtfully refreshed. It was as simple and clear as a novice help: Follow Nanao Yaeko and find Yotsui Reika.
.
The scenery next to him moved slightly. Shiraishi turned around and saw a pair of translucent calves beside him.
When he raised his head and looked up again, Nanao Yaeko's whole figure slowly emerged.
Nanao Yaeko lowered her head and looked at each other. Shiraishi was about to ask her to show him the way, but unexpectedly the girl suddenly knelt down and touched his head.
Then she stood up under Shiraishi's puzzled gaze and walked straight towards Shiraishi's body on the sofa. After finding that the man was sleeping soundly, she held up her knees as if she was in trouble.
Shiraishi discovered something was wrong from her series of operations - couldn't this wandering soul see that the cat was Shiraishi?
He walked over speechlessly and tried to talk to Nanao Yaeko, but this wandering spirit, like ordinary people on the road, couldn't understand what Shiraishi was talking about.
It seems that this cat shape has some flaws, it looks too cat-like and is not convenient enough.
You can only change back into a human first and try to communicate. After communicating, you can change back immediately. You can't waste those short 33 minutes.
Shiraishi looked at the countdown with pain, preparing to switch, but one second passed, two seconds passed... He was still a cat.
The form switch failed.
Shiraishi was startled.
Nanao Yaeko is looking at the people on the sofa, not at the black cat, so no matter whether she can switch forms when being stared at by the wandering spirit, it will not affect her transformation now.
Which means...there are other people nearby.
Shiraishi quickly scurried back under the sofa on the side and peeked out from the gap. Almost at the same time, he saw someone walking through the corridor and stepping into the living room.
Nanao Yaeko was alarmed and disappeared quickly.
The person who came was none other than Ichige Takashi. He walked to the sofa under Shiraishi's gaze, picked up his body and left.
Shiraishi's claws popped out unconsciously, hooked on the floor twice, and then quickly followed with a dark face.
Ichijitaka's back is now facing him, and no one else is watching around him. Shiraishi can actually turn into a mask form, and then throw out the wire sheath from behind to surprise Ichijitaka.
However, I thought of Nanao Yaeko who had escaped so quickly, and also thought that the next task instruction was to find Yotsui Reika...
Maybe Ichijia Takashi is planning to frame someone up, and if you follow him, you can find the location of Yotsui Reika?
…
After the power outage just now, both groups of people heard the crisp sound of glass breaking and knew something was wrong.
They happened to be in the corridor at that time. After realizing that the switch had been tampered with, several yacht club members who were familiar with the terrain quickly ran to the distribution box and reset the switch.
It was discovered that the glass had been broken from the inside. A group of people thought that someone had escaped from the house into the woods. Led by the irritable Mifune, they quickly rushed outside to stop the suspicious person who had not yet escaped.
Although Mao Lilan could keep up with several adult men, she still had to take care of Suzuki Sonoko and Conan, and she was not familiar with the terrain, so she lost track of them after a while.
"You ran so fast... I shouldn't have come out wearing high heels today." Suzuki Sonoko was holding on to the tree trunk, panting from exhaustion.
After stopping, she finally had time to look around. Looking at the dark tree branches in the night, Suzuki Sonoko began to feel a chill behind her: "...This forest is really scary. What kind of taste does the Yotsui family have to build a villa?"
In a place like this."
"The scenery is still beautiful during the day, but at night, this is really not a good place. The terrain is too flat and it is easy to get lost." An old voice suddenly sounded from his feet.
Suzuki Sonoko was startled and almost jumped into the tree trunk. After being pulled by Mao Lilan, she came back to her senses. She followed the sound with trembling eyes and found that the person speaking was actually Granny Mi.
The old man wiped the rain off his face with his sleeves and looked at them with a frown: "You are not as familiar with this forest as they are. You shouldn't rush out in such a panic. What should you do if you get lost?"
"Everyone was running out at that time, so I subconsciously followed him..." Suzuki Sonoko finished her defense in a low voice and suddenly remembered something.
She stayed for a second, then turned pale: "Wait, why are you here too!?"
Grandma Mi didn't know why she reacted this way, so she explained: "I'm afraid you guys will get lost."
"But after you leave, Ritsu will be the only one left in the house! If Reika Yotsui runs back to the villa again and sees him sleeping alone on the sofa..."
Suzuki Sonoko thought for a few seconds, then let out a complex scream of anger mixed with a hint of shyness: "An unscrupulous bastard like Yosui will definitely do something terrible to Ritsu!"
"...What did you do?" Granny Mi looked at her in confusion, feeling that there was a big gap between her and the young man, "Why are you blushing?"
Conan was also howled by Suzuki Sonoko. Of course, he knew that Reika Yotsui was not the murderer, so Shiraishi's situation was even more dangerous.
With a serious face, he adjusted the flashlight on his watch to the brightest, raised his head and checked the direction:
"Go back as soon as possible. Although Shiraishi's... brother has nothing to do with the yacht club, he almost saved Nikaido before, so he may indeed be targeted by criminals."
