My tenants are monsters

So no matter what the intention of the other party is, it is a very serious social problem, and it is absolutely impossible to let it go.

but……

All investigations into the cult have turned up nothing.

Even during the investigation by the police, two more incidents of human skin tattoos occurred.

This time, neither the surveillance personnel squatting behind the surveillance cameras nor the police officers on duty at the various entrances and exits of the park could find out how the other party transported people into the park, and then quietly completed the work of peeling and tattooing, and then quietly left.The only police officer who seemed to have seen the perpetrator's true face was attacked by the other party as soon as he pressed the walkie-talkie, and has since disappeared.

——The disappearance of this police officer left a little trace in the surveillance probe, but it was only a little bit, which was not enough for the police to find his whereabouts.

These changes finally allowed the police to confirm that the perpetrator came from a supernatural dimension.

The special section who got the news quickly put in manpower and launched a blanket search.

The result is...

You don't have to look to know.

Since this case can become an unsolved case and appear in this archive, it must have failed.

The only result brought about by the actions of the special class is that the murderer may have sensed the wind and stopped doing it out of caution or for other reasons-at least in the Kanto region, there are no more legends about human skin tattoos.

But among the so many missing persons in Dongpu every year, it is unknown whether any of them fell into the hands of the assailant.

VOLUME 186: Chapter [-] Circle of Light Ineffective

"So, how do the Dongying people in this world survive until now? Each of them has a big heart..."

After learning the whole story of several cases three years ago from the file, Shiraishi Rin was a little speechless.

But she also knows that this kind of thing is actually normal.

Because whether it is the dog god, the footwoman, or the unidentified murderer of the human skin tattoo case, the people who really killed—or the people who were found to have killed are actually only a dozen or dozens, and there are still a few of them. They are all killed in a scattered manner, and it is rare to kill dozens or hundreds of people in one go.

In this way, although the casualties caused seem to be quite a lot, compared with the number of people missing in Tokyo every month due to various reasons, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Without considering the facts, it is reasonable to explain these cases as the work of a heinous serial murderer.

As for those big monsters who can really create fires and earthquakes at will, causing hundreds of thousands of people to die instantly, such as the rumored Shuten-douji, Tianxiegui, Daitengu, etc., they have either died or been "zhaoan" by the special class, At least it has signed a peace agreement, and will not take action against human society casually.

In this way, no matter how widespread those urban monster stories are, as long as there are no large numbers of dead people in a short period of time, most ordinary people just listen to them and don't take them too seriously.

Of course, what's more important is that most ordinary people don't have spiritual vision ability and can't see the true face of ghosts. Believe it was the work of ghosts.Unless these cases really fall on themselves one day...

"Is that all the information about this case?"

To be on the safe side, Shiraishi Rin asked one more question.

Shimoshima Misato nodded: "Well, all the information about this case is here, as are the relevant evidence."

"understood."

After reading the dossier, it's time to cast [Circle Light].

The evidence materials needed for the operation had been taken out by the police from the special section and placed on the table. They were basically fragments of human skin left over from those tattoo cases back then.

The image and breath of these things are naturally very uncomfortable, but Shiraishi Rin has already had the experience of tracking down the footwoman last time, and he has put on protective clothing, so while frowning slightly, he has put the mirror back on. Alright, I used the [circle light technique] again.

With the surge of spiritual power, the scene in the mirror began to change.

but……

This time, Shiraishi Rin did not get the desired result.

From her personal feeling, the operation should have taken effect this time, and some pictures did appear in the mirror, but...

These pictures look a little weird.

"Did something go wrong during the operation?"

Shimoshima Misato leaned over from the side, looked at the pure black in the mirror with some doubts, and asked softly.

——Yes, the image in the mirror was actually pure black.

This kind of picture is undoubtedly very strange, even for Shiraishi Rin, the caster.

"No...the process of performing the spell was not hindered, otherwise, as the caster, I should have been backlashed by spiritual power. Moreover, such a color would not appear on the mirror, there should be no change..."

Bai Shilin shook his head slightly, and slowly frowned.

The current situation... should belong to the failure of the technique, but it has not completely failed.

Speaking of it, Rin Shiraishi's understanding of the spell [Circle Light] mainly comes from the system, and the number of times he has actually used it is not very many, and the first two times have been very smooth, both of which were directly targeted at Inugami and the footwoman The reason is that it was only this time that she encountered such a strange situation, so she was a little confused about the cause of the problem for a while.

Only through my own guessing and speculation, I vaguely came up with a little vague idea:

"Could it be that……"

"The murderer who created this human skin tattoo case is dead now, or has he been hiding in a dark place that can't be seen due to active or passive reasons?"

There are many reasons for taking the initiative, but if you are passive... the most likely possibility is "seal".

But this possibility only existed for a second, and Shiraishi became hesitant in his heart——

The ghost who can create this series of human skin tattoo incidents is definitely not an ordinary monster, and the person who can kill or seal it is even more difficult. If there was such a powerful exorcist in Arakawa District before, how could the special class treat it? Know nothing of his existence?

You should know that the special class has registered records for most of the exorcists in Tokyo, and there are very few so-called "big hermits in the city".

——The reason is very simple, not everyone can get a bunch of messy spells and magic weapon inheritance from "Xitama County" like Shiraishi Rin.Most of the exorcists who have not been discovered by the special class are either self-taught by accidental factors, or their families have not fallen down several generations ago. It's about the same price, and it's okay to fight ordinary little ghosts and goblins, but it's far worse if you fight against an existence at the level of Inugami.

It can't be... This perpetrator was killed by his uncle whom he had never met, right?

Rin Shiraishi pondered that the probability of this possibility is indeed not zero, but it is indeed a bit unrealistic, and even if that is the case, there is no conclusive evidence to support it.

and so……

"It seems that the clue is broken here..."

"Sorry, I can't define its exact location, so I can't help you this time."

After about half an hour, Shiraishi tried to use the [circle light technique] to investigate twice, but each time it was the same result, basically ruling out the possibility of a mistake in performing the technique: "Maybe this guy was killed by someone outside of Tokyo. The exorcists in other regions of the world have been sealed. In that case, there should be relevant information on the special class. Sister Shuangdao, you can check it out and see if you can find clues...

What's more, next week or some days later, I can come over to investigate a few more times. If this happens every time, then I'm afraid there is really nothing I can do. "

"..."

Misato Shimoshima hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ichiro Nishihei who was not far away, as if waiting for the latter's decision.

Ichiro Nishihei pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, then follow the method you said, Xiao Rin."

Volume 187: Chapter [-] "Wealth Freedom Plan" Bankruptcy

"Human skin tattoo incident" is temporarily skipped.

Next, Shiraishi Rin picked through a pile of file folders next to her, and picked up another file of "Eight Foot Girl".

There is nothing to say about this.

"Bachi Girl" is one of the most famous urban legends in Dongying. Together with "Gap Girl" and "Hanako", it can be regarded as a few model workers in the world of urban legends. I don't know how many places have similar ones. rumor.And relatively speaking, monsters like these are actually very peaceful in temperament, basically just scaring people, and the number of times they actually kill people is not many.

——The feet-selling woman is actually a type of monster, and the primary purpose of that guy is indeed not to kill people, but the problem is that few humans can survive after being cut off by brute force, so that An old hag's record will look much more ferocious than a eight-foot girl...

Shiraishi Rin probably figured out what happened, and after confirming the first scene of the incident, he began to use the evidence left by the police, that is, a few broken hairs, and began to use the [circle light technique].

This time it worked out.

But what emerged from the mirror was the interior of a Japanese-style house, with only four walls left except for some simple furniture such as tables and chairs.Moreover, there were no trademarks on the furniture, and there were no mural decorations on the walls. No matter from which angle, it was an ordinary room.

There are at least a few thousand houses in Tokyo that meet this condition, which cannot be used as evidence for further investigation.

After checking again after a period of time as before, Shiraishi Rin finally gave up.

Ok.

It seems that the effect of [circular light technique] is not as good as imagined.It was good luck to be able to find the dog god and the footwoman all at once before.It is also very common that there is no way to accurately define the location of "Human Skin Tattoo Murderer" and "Eight-foot Girl".We can only follow the method of dealing with the "human skin tattoo murderer" just now, and investigate again in a few days to see if we can catch the opportunity.

The investigation of two consecutive incidents was hindered, Shiraishi Rin was in a bad mood.

On the one hand, it failed to solve the problem.

On the other hand, it was also because I didn't make any money, and I felt like my trip was for nothing...

Fortunately, she is still thinking that if she earns 200 million a week, plus 500 million yen a month plus rent, and then 5000 million yen a year, she will soon be able to achieve a class transition and become a master of wealth and freedom... As a result, the whole The plan was declared bankrupt before it was even formally advanced.

If the ghosts that appeared in the subsequent supernatural events were all like the "eight-foot girl" and the "tattoo monster", then this salary is really not easy to earn...

"Well, Xiao Lin, you don't have to worry too much. If these ghosts were really so easy to solve, these cases wouldn't have been suspended for so long. As long as one or two of these cases can be solved, it will be difficult for ordinary people. That said, many hidden dangers can be eliminated.”

Shimoshima Misato saw Shiraishi Rin's ups and downs, smiled and comforted her softly.

"makes sense."

Bai Shilin exhaled lightly, cleaned up his slightly depressed mood, and then put his thoughts on another matter——

It was also a failure of the operation, but the situation of the "eight-foot girl" was obviously different from the "human skin tattoo incident".

When searching for the murderer of the human skin tattoo case, what appeared in the mirror was darkness.However, what Hachi-nyo presented in the mirror was an ordinary Japanese-style house.If nothing else happened, that house might very well be the residence of this one.

In this way, "Bachi Girl" should also be like Ogino Yoshie and others, a ghost who knows more about human society and has even perfectly integrated into human society.

Using this as a reference, maybe one day in the future, Shiraishi Rin will see the names of his tenants in the file of the special class.Especially Baizu Dazang and the Iwata couple, these two households have the highest probability of appearing...

If that kind of situation really happened, Shiraishi Rin also didn't know what attitude he should use to treat them.

No matter which side you stand on, it seems that it will inevitably lead to a series of troubles and dilemmas.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much..."

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. If there is such a day, let's talk about it."

Shiraishi Rin shook his head, expelling this idea that at least seemed unrealistic at the moment from his mind, then let out a breath, and put down some chaotic thoughts.

This investigation lasted about one morning.

Although there were no results, using the [Circle Light Art] multiple times in a short period of time was a heavy burden on physical strength and energy, and Shiraishi Rin also felt a little tired.

But she came here for another purpose, which has not been achieved yet, so she did not accept Shimoshima Misato's proposal to take her to rest, but said a little unnaturally: "Well, I have another unfeeling request, which is I also want to stay in the archives for a while longer to see what the remaining unsolved cases are about, so that I can know what they are when I come next time... I don’t know if there are such things as indexes in this archives ?"

The "unsolved case" that Rin Shiraishi wanted to see was none other than the Naruya Hospital fire case that occurred in Setagaya Ward 11 years ago.

Although she has already planned to go to Setagaya District to fulfill her obsession for Asakura Hana within the next two weeks, and investigate the matter incidentally, but so far, her understanding of this case is still very limited.I'm afraid that even if we get to the scene, it will be difficult to find useful clues. For the sake of planning ahead, it is necessary to collect as much relevant information as possible.

And if you want to get this kind of information, you can't get it from Shiraishi's apartment. Even if you take the risk to tell the Iwata family, the other party probably won't give you a definite answer.It might even have the opposite effect.
