Dark Cave - part 2 - Chapter 8

Chiba Fumika was the last disciple of Inamoto Hiroyuki . She applied this theory and proposed the hypothesis that the energy field of the three victims in the ceramic artwork robbery and murder case was likely still at the museum where the incident occurred. Because this energy cannot communicate with ordinary people, the victims may have grasped some information about the murderer, but they cannot convey it.
” And you, Mr. Key , have shown a talent since childhood. According to the data from several experiments, it seems that you can feel things that ordinary people cannot . You can see ‘ them ‘ and receive a vague signal that marks death. ” It would be more accurate to say that Yamashita Yuji took over the topic of introduction rather than translating.
Guan Jian let out a long sigh. It was too absurd. Although it was not without reason, it was based on conjecture and full of fantastic inferences. ” Don’t forget, I can only sense dangers that happen to people close to me. ”
” So we need you to go to the scene of the incident in person and spend some time in contact with the souls of my father and the two guards – if they exist – to see if you can sense anything. We are also very objective and practical. We know that everything is just a big hypothesis and it is possible that we will get nothing. But at least we have tried our best for this case, explained to my father, and put my mind at ease. You know, I really have no other choice. ”
Guan Guan listened to Yamashita Yuji’s earnest words and thought: There is no harm in giving it a try … Huang Shiyi’s blood-soaked body suddenly flashed before his eyes, Guan Guan asked: ” Then, regarding the investigation of Shishi’s death, it is also very close to the reason for your trip. I should stay in the anatomy building for a while, maybe I can communicate with Shishi … Was your father killed in this exhibition hall? ”
Yamashita Yuji nodded slightly .
” Are you going to conduct experiments on me in public? How could the exhibition hall agree to this? ”
Yamashita Yuji said: ” Everything has been arranged, please come with us. ”
The group walked out of Hall 4 and turned right. They reached the end of the corridor. Behind a small door was a staircase. At the end of the stairs, there was another tightly closed small door with big red characters on it: ” No entry for unauthorized persons. ” A small sign read ” Electricity Meter Room . ”
Kikuno Yuji took out a bunch of strange keys from a large leather bag on the ground and inserted one of them into the keyhole on the door handle. Yamashita Yuji coughed lightly and whispered: ” In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention from others, we have already informed the art museum and the research institute. From now on, the evening research will come in through this passage. ”
Behind the door was a long, dark corridor.
The pain came suddenly and became more and more intense.
” The end of this corridor is connected to the basement of the institute. There are two doors in the middle, plus the door at the end that leads directly to the institute, a total of three levels. After midnight every day , we start from the institute, push the equipment here, go upstairs and enter Exhibition Hall No. 4 to conduct experiments. ”
At this moment, the severe headache and the rapid images quickly made it impossible for Guanjian to think normally.
Yuji Yamashita also realized the key and stopped moving forward. When he shone the flashlight there, he saw that the face of this handsome young man had turned blue-gray, his lips had lost their color, and beads of sweat the size of beans were oozing from his forehead and temples. His breathing could no longer be described as ” rapid ” , he was simply suffocating!
Kikuno Yuji was unaware of the sudden abnormality and opened a door very attentively. Suddenly, he said ” hmm ” and stood at the door in a daze. After a while, he shone the flashlight on the blueprint and muttered something. Obviously, the blueprint did not indicate that there was a wall behind the door! Yamashita Yuji also saw the wall and was stunned.
Guanjian gritted his teeth, and in the midst of the trance, he saw a pair of eyes. A pair of eyes filled with tears, with an expression of disbelief, filled with anger, surprise and fear. The gaze pierced Guanjian’s pain even more.
Perhaps this was a bad omen, warning me not to get involved here.
Or maybe, as Yamashita Yuji hoped, this was a hint, trying to reveal something to me.
After going upstairs, Guan Jian ran straight out of the art exhibition hall.
If he would be knocked down by pain as soon as he entered the ” electricity meter room ” , how could he pass through this passage to Hall 4 to undergo the experiment? Physical pain might be bearable, but what about psychological pain?
The eyes floated up again.
Was it the look in Shishi’s eyes when she was tortured? She had never looked so angry and desperate before, why did I feel a sense of déjà vu?
Guan Jian suddenly felt that the pair of eyes were really staring at him, and it made his spine shiver. His forehead was sweaty and his head was still a little dizzy. In the corner of his eye, a familiar figure flashed across the street.
Shishi?! Long black hair, thin figure, snow-white long-sleeved cotton dress and short beige vest, which was exactly what Shishi was wearing on the day she was murdered.
Guan Jian saw the figure turning the corner from a distance . He shouted ” Shishi ” and ran across the street amid the furious roar of car horns. But when he reached the corner, he could no longer see the figure.
forward for a while, then stopped. No, at the speed he was running just now, he should have caught up with her long ago. In the corner of his eyes, he saw a small Catholic church with the words ” Our Lady Church ” on the doorplate . He was moved: Could it be here?
The light in the church was dim, and the long rows of wooden chairs were empty. There was only a black figure standing solemnly under the statue of the Virgin Mary on the left side of the church. The person suddenly turned around, which surprised Guanjian. This was an old nun in her sixties, with wrinkles on her face and a tall hooked nose, which made her already deep-set eyes look even gloomier. She looked at Guanjian for a few times, made the sign of the cross on her chest, and walked out the door without saying a word.
was left in the chapel . That was good, he could think quietly. He sat with his eyes closed for a long time, and everything was silent. At this time, his sixth sense told him that he seemed to be more than one person in the chapel! He opened his eyes and saw the figure he had been chasing sitting in the front row of the church with his head down, his long hair like a waterfall, draped peacefully on his shoulders.
” Shishi! ” He murmured the name.
This is definitely not a daydream or an illusion, the back figure in front is so real and three-dimensional.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Jiangjing Catholic Church ranked seventh on the “Top Ten Haunted Places in Jiangjing”.
But even if it was Huang Shiyi’s ghost, the key that he missed so much was eager to see her.
The only way to deal with confusion and bewilderment is to try to understand.
Try putting your hands on her shoulders.
She looked back suddenly.
The key is to scream ” Ah ” .
This was a girl who didn’t look like Huang Shiyi. Her skin was whiter, her mouth was smaller, and her eyes were longer. But the girl’s look of surprise and fear was very similar to Huang Shiyi’s. Her silhouette blended into the dimly lit chapel, looking a little gloomy. She stared at the key warily.
” I’m sorry, I’m so sorry to bother you, I … I recognized the wrong person … Don’t be afraid, I don’t mean any harm to you. ” Guanjian explained in a panic. When the girl saw Guanjian in such a mess, the timidity in her eyes almost completely disappeared. Why did her eyes look so much like Huang Shiyi when she was calm?
” I think you might think of me as your girlfriend, right? ”
” You … how do you know? ” Guan Jian immediately thought the question was too stupid.
” It’s actually very simple. You just put your hand very gently on my shoulder. If you were just greeting an ordinary friend, you wouldn’t be so … so warm. It seems that I didn’t watch so much Conan in vain. ”
” You like Conan too ? ”
” Not only do I like you, I am obsessed with you … I have to go now, bye . ”
The girl was walking out quickly when she suddenly turned around and said, ” If you miss someone, if you have a lot of worries, confusion, or regrets, you can sit here quietly for a while. Maybe it will help you. ”
I don’t know how long I sat there, but Guanjian felt much calmer. The only regret was that I hadn’t made up my mind whether to turn down Yamashita Yuji’s invitation. I walked out of the church and onto the sunny street, but Guanjian was still thinking hard and almost bumped into someone walking the other way. The person was the girl I had just seen in the church. At this moment, under the sunlight, her soft long hair, soft face, and soft smile were very touching.
