Whether it was Senior Tao or Senior Youzi, Sakurai Tong felt very close to them, as if she came to the Weird Research Club just to see this person.
She had already made up her mind. No matter whether it was a real monster or a fake one, as long as it dared to attack Senior Sister Yuzu, Sakurai Tong would send the monster directly to hell.
The taxi stopped in front of an abandoned apartment building. The area was sparsely populated and the streets were deserted. It seemed like a forgotten place.
Jiangchuan was not surprised. After getting out of the car, he looked around and found that they were almost at the edge of Tokyo.
"This is it." Shimizu Yuzu took out her phone and compared it with the photo on the screen. She said, "Nakajima, turn on the magnetic field detector. We need to start the investigation."
"receive."
Nakajima Rie unzipped her backpack, revealing a pitch-black machine. After fiddling with it for a while, she pulled out a foldable detector from the side compartment and connected it to the machine. With a beep, she declared, "It's done."
"Thank you for your hard work, Nakajima."
Shimizu Yuzu patted Nakajima Rie's shoulder. She took the travel backpack and put it on her back, saying, "Newcomer, follow me closely. We're leaving."
A minesweeper?!?
Jiangchuan didn't know where Senior Yuzu and Rie Nakajima got the machine. It gave him the same feeling as the engineers walking in front and clearing mines in TV dramas.
Jiangchuan and Sakurai Tong followed. Senior sister Youzi held up the detection head connected to the machine in her backpack and led them to where the "beeping" sound was loudest. They stopped in front of an apartment room with a half-broken door.
Although the entire abandoned apartment building exuded a gloomy atmosphere, he did not sense any strange presence in the room in front of him.
Regarding Yuzu-senpai's pause, Jiangchuan asked, "Is there anything inside?"
"The magnetic field detector has reacted." After testing it twice more to confirm it was correct, Qingshui Yuzu said happily, "Let's go in and take a look."
Nakajima Rie shrank back, and said with a hint of fear, "I'll wait for you here."
Jiangchuan looked at Nakajima Rie. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the fortune-telling girl was afraid of weird things and so timid. Then why did she follow Senior Yuzu into the apartment building?
If there really is a monster, then as long as it enters this apartment building, it will be its hunting ground. Jiang Chuan kindly reminded him, "Mr. Nakajima, monsters like to prey on people who are alone. Isn't that how it's portrayed in the movies?"
A word awakened Nakajima Rie, who suddenly realized that it was safest to stick with the team, and there were boys like Jiangchuan Hai among them. In the past, when only she and senior Yuzu went out to conduct strange research, she always waited for the one outside. It became a habit, so she did it according to the previous method.
The remaining half of the apartment door was easily pushed open and they walked into the room.
Without any furniture, only the bare room remained, which was unusually spacious. Jiangchuan saw Senior Sister Youzi carefully exploring the room with a magnetic field detector.
There is nothing to be found, Jiang Chuan can guarantee it. When he walked into the room, he felt more clearly that there was nothing strange here.
but……
Just as he had this idea, Senior Yuzu, who had gone to other rooms to look for strange clues, suddenly shouted, "Found it."
Sakurai Tong looked at him in disbelief. The dwarf should also be sure that there is nothing strange here. He wanted to confirm with him about Senior Sister Yuzu's call. Jiangchuan shook his head slightly in response.
The two of them and Rie Nakajima went to the source of the sound, which was the first bedroom on the left side of the apartment. When they got there, Jiangchuan discovered what Senior Yuzu had found - a magic circle carved on the ground that almost covered the entire bedroom.
This is……?
There were dried bloodstains on the magic circle, and the magnetic field detector was making a loud "beeping" sound. Jiang Chuan took a look and found it looked familiar.
Sakurai Tong's brain got hot and her eyes were filled with gloom. Others might not recognize it, but she, who had almost died at the hands of the Fox Cult before, knew it best. The magic circle in front of her was the one used by the Fox Cult for sacrifice, exactly the same as the one she was lying on at that time.
The damn guy should have noticed it too, staring at the magic circle and lost in thought. This means that the strange photos that Senior Sister Yuzu saw on the Tokyo forum post before might be really weird, and were summoned by those damn Fox Cult pagans.
but……
There was no strange smell in the room, and Sakurai Tong had a bad feeling that the summoned thing had run away.
Qingshui Yuzu took out her phone, turned on the camera, and took a few close-up shots of the magic circle. What a discovery! Her intuition told her that something must have happened here!
Although Nakajima Rie also likes weird things, she will be afraid if there is danger. Looking at the dried blood remaining on the magic circle, she couldn't help but say nervously, "This...this, this can't be human blood, right?"
Yuzu Shimizu had just focused her attention on the magic circle and ignored this possibility. When she heard what Nakajima Rie said, she stopped what she was doing and examined the bloodstain in the center of the magic circle. The bloodstain was dry and it was hard to tell whether it was human or animal blood. They did not have special instruments to conduct on-site testing, but a simple deduction showed that strange things were often related to humans, so it was very likely human blood.
Thinking of this, Shimizu Yuzu took over Nakajima Rie's words and nodded with a slightly serious expression, "That's a possibility."
"Should we call the police?"
Nakajima Rie's face suddenly turned pale. There was human blood and other things on the strange magic circle. This was the first time she and senior sister Yuzu encountered such a thing when they came to conduct weird research. The matter was probably serious and they were not able to intervene.
The blood on the magic circle had dried for a long time, and when he walked into the apartment, he didn't even smell the blood.
Jiang Chuan came to his senses and remembered what the familiar magic circle was. It was the same one that the dwarf was lying on the day he saved Sakurai Tong.
When it comes to human blood, the first thing people think of is the crime. Although he has determined that it is an incident, in order to avoid unnecessary panic, Jiang Chuan said, "It could also be animal blood. If they are doing some kind of summoning ritual experiment, they would use rooster blood or dog blood as an induction."
Nakajima Rie didn't know who to believe. She was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Is that so?"
"That's right."
Yingjing Tong took a step forward. She understood Jiangchuan Hai's thoughts and responded in a cooperative manner, "If this was an incident, there should be a body here. If there isn't one, then it's not a real incident. Nakajima-san is overthinking it."
