Should I tell her or not?
This question lingered in her mind for a second before she came up with an answer.
Of course I tell her!
Why not?!
It's so fun to cause trouble!
In the original work, Flying Shadow didn't want to reunite with Xue Cai because the person who transplanted the Evil Eye on him gave him a condition that Flying Shadow couldn't reunite with his sister, and Flying Shadow didn't seem to have any reason to reunite with Xue Cai.
But what did that have to do with her?
The person only said that Flying Shadow couldn't reunite with his sister, but it didn't mean that Xue Cai couldn't reunite with Flying Shadow.
What can you do to me even if I tell her?
In the original work, only Flying Shadow's companions knew about this, so since Flying Shadow himself threatened others not to say anything, no one would say anything. But it's different now. I don't care about your bullsh * t business. I don't even know you, you gloomy little shorty. To me, a cute girl's request is more important.
If you don't like it, come hit me. See if I won't rub you against the ground a thousand times.
Of course, even spoilers had to wait for the right time. There was no point in telling Xue Cai now. Besides, Chi wasn't sure how the plot of "Ghost Roaming in White Book" was progressing, so she couldn't be bothered. But since she was being watched by the Spiritual Realm, she would meet Flying Shadow sooner or later. When that time came, she could just poke a hole in the paper window and see where Flying Shadow could run to.
Therefore, Chi finally agreed to let Xue Cai stay. She even gave her a bracelet to conceal her aura. This way, Flying Shadow wouldn't be able to find Xue Cai no matter how capable he was. When the two met, Chi Cai would take off the bracelet — — hehehe, she really wanted to see what kind of expression Flying Shadow would have then.
As for whether Flying Shadow would get angry at her … .if he wasn't afraid of death, why not give it a try?
Just like that, there was a new member in Chi Cai's office. Currently, there was a human, a Horned Dragon, a Vampire, and a Snow Woman living here.
Well, it felt less and less like a place for humans.
Although to Chi, as long as it was a pretty and cute girl, there was no difference in race.
For the next few days, the firm lived a peaceful life. But soon, another commissioned investigation arrived. This time, the commissioning agency was … the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Haa …"
Walking into the Metropolitan Police Department, Mi couldn't help but yawn. Of course, she noticed the gazes of the surrounding police officers. This was not surprising, after all, a young girl wearing a uniform coming to the Metropolitan Police Department was a very strange thing. Right now, Dusk was already considering whether he should establish an official relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department like his main body did in the Detective Conan world. It was better than being treated as a victim's family or a criminal suspect every time he walked in.
Thinking of this, he walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the fourth underground floor. Then he pressed the button for the fifth underground floor. Then the elevator started and moved downward. Soon, the elevator reached the fourth underground floor, but it did not stop there. Instead, it continued to descend. At the same time, the number of floors on the elevator disappeared, and the elevator door opened with a "ding".
Dusk walked out of the elevator door and walked along the corridor. Soon, at the end of the corridor, a place with a sign that read "Police History Compilation Room" appeared in front of him. It looked like a data storage room.
This was Dusk's destination. It was also the most mysterious unit of the Metropolitan Police Department — the "Police History Compilation Room". As mentioned before, this department specialized in investigating all kinds of difficult cases and similar urban legends and rumors. They were established based on a theory called "B.A.F".
“Friend
friend。”
Through the word of mouth between friends of friends, there were strange and charming urban legends that were half-true and half-false — known as "friends of friends".
It was common to see them in real life. Legends that appeared in the paranormal or Zhihu belonged to this category.
"I have a friend who heard that …"
"My dad's friend once experienced something like this …"
"My friend was on a long run …"
"My friend's wife said it happened in her hospital …"
Such urban legends were everywhere. Of course, many of them were not very convincing when one thought about it. Some were even quite contradictory. For example, the woman in the red raincoat. According to the urban legend, she would appear on a rainy night and ask if you wanted to wear the red raincoat. If you said yes, she would kill you and dye the raincoat red with your blood.
If you said no, she would follow you until you said yes.
It sounded like a very scary story, but if one thought about it carefully, one would find a loophole in it. Since the man was already dead, how would people know that he was killed by the woman in the red raincoat? Could it be that the woman in the red raincoat was kind enough to allow him to leave a will before he died?
The biggest problem with this kind of story was that the whole story was told from the perspective of a third party. It felt like someone was telling a horror movie they had watched before as a story for others to hear. After all, in reality, it was impossible for a third party to be present in this kind of situation.
But in these rumors and stories, there was a possibility that real evil was hidden.
This was the place that specialized in investigating urban legends and absurd rumors.
Dusk walked up to the iron door and knocked. Soon, a lazy voice came from inside.
"Come in."
"Sorry to disturb you."
As he spoke, Dusk pushed the door open and walked into the room.
At first glance, this place did fit the description of the "Police History Compilation Room". In the endless hall, there were rows of neatly arranged bookshelves, and on them were many records and books. Of course, if one did not look carefully, one might think that the bookshelves were filled with police history records. But Dusk who had visited this place before knew that the tens of thousands of books recorded all kinds of "S.A.F." incidents.
The real records of the urban legends such as "the woman in the red raincoat" and "the woman with the cracked mouth" could be found here.
It could be said that for those paranormal enthusiasts, there was no better "library" than this place.
And it was the kind that was officially certified.
"Yo, you're here, Xiaosu."
Seeing Dusk walk in, a rather lazy looking woman who was half-lying on the sofa waved her hand in a bored Osaka accent. She was holding a tabloid in one hand while staring at the TV screen in front of her. It was a live horse race.
"I thought it was against the law for the police to bet on horses."
Dusk sat on the edge of the sofa and glanced at the live horse race on the screen. The latter laughed.
"A little gambling is fun. Betting on horses isn't a big deal … Ahhhhh, come on, come on! Hurry up!!! "
The moment the horse race crossed the finish line on the TV, the woman in front of him suddenly collapsed on the sofa as if she had collapsed to the ground. The entire room was dead silent, and only the voice of the commentator on the TV echoed in it.
"The Emperor of the East Sea! The Emperor of the East Sea! He won G1 in his first race! His future is just around the corner!! "
"You lose nine out of ten gambles."
Dusk silently took the remote control and turned off the TV. She looked at the woman lying next to her like a dead fish.
"So, Officer Canine Boy, you didn't ask me to come here to watch you lose money, did you?"
"…"
Hearing this, Officer Canine Boy Ranko turned over and sat up. He took out a bag of documents from the side.
"Of course not … Forget it, I asked you to come here because I need your help with something."
Canine Boy Ranko stared at Dusk.
"Do you know Hiyama?"
"Hiyama?"
"Yes, it's a very famous place. Of course, it's not a good place … Hiyama used to be a suicide shrine. People often went there to commit suicide. Later, a disaster happened on the mountain. We don't know what it was exactly, but after that, no one lived on Hiyama anymore. "
"And then?"
"Not long ago, the local government tried to use Hiyama to develop a tourism project."
"… Using a suicide shrine to build a tourism project? Is it the kind that never returns? "
Dusk was speechless. What was wrong with the Japanese's brain?
"Who knows? Maybe they had too much money and nowhere to spend it. Anyway, they started to rebuild Hiyama. Along the way, there were all kinds of accidents. In the end, there was a landslide that buried the hot spring hotel at the foot of the mountain and killed many people. According to the records, after that, the owner of the hot spring hotel also hanged himself. "
"…"
"That's not all. The local government tried to dig a tunnel after that, but the tunnel collapsed three times in a row, causing many casualties. In the end, even the rescue team went missing. So the local government had no choice but to seal off Hiyama and its surrounding areas. They sorted out the incident report and handed it over to the Metropolitan Police Department, and we took over. "
"No wonder. After all, so many people died …"
At this moment, Yu also took the folder and opened it, flipping through the information inside. It would make sense if there were many casualties in a single incident, but there had been no peace on the mountain for the past few days. People would die at the slightest sign of trouble …. Yet the local government didn't seem to care at all?
Of course, with so many accidental deaths and disappearances, it was impossible for them to just disappear. So, they handed the incident file over to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Metropolitan Police Department threw the trouble to the Police History Writing Office …
How was this supposed to be a tourist attraction? How were they supposed to introduce it now?
"Dear tourists, please be careful where you step. The place you're standing now is the place where the hotel owner committed suicide …."
Would people really come to this kind of trip?
There must be something wrong with their brains.
"So you want me to conduct a detailed investigation, right?"
"Yes."
Canine Boy nodded.
"I'll leave it to you, Miss. Only you can handle this kind of trouble. After all, we don't have any special mysterious power. Even if we have several lives, we won't be able to solve this problem."
"Understood."
Hearing this, Bi An put away the information bag and stood up.
"I'll take care of this."
