Although there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, after rescuing Chie Satonaka, some of the questions have been answered.
"So Miss Ellie, what you mean is that the victims of the first three cases were actually killed by themselves?"
Everyone was in disbelief at Ellie's judgment, but Ellie nodded.
"Based on Chie Satonaka's case, I think this judgment is reasonable. According to my previous investigation, the victims of the previous three murders were not in a good situation before they disappeared. In this case, their negative emotions would definitely be magnified. Combined with Chie Satonaka's situation, I think they are likely to have encountered a similar situation. Everyone has thoughts and secrets deep in their hearts that they don't want to tell others. Once these are exposed, they will inevitably resist them."
"this……"
Hearing this, everyone found it hard to accept, but the facts were in front of them. They did see the scene where after Satonaka Chie refused to accept her other self, the other party immediately transformed into a powerful shadow monster.
Yue Yuyou Jiali looked at Ai Li in disbelief.
"So what you mean is that the three of them also faced another version of themselves before, but they were unwilling to accept it, so the other version of themselves turned into a shadow and killed their original self?"
"That's about it."
Ai Li opened her phone and glanced at the photo.
"This is consistent with the autopsy report. After all, according to the report, the three victims all suffered severe injuries of extreme twisting and tearing. Even if ordinary people wanted to do it, they couldn't do it to this extent. If they were killed by shadow monsters, then the condition of their bodies can be explained."
“Woo…”
Seeing the tragic state of the three bodies on Ai Li's phone screen, everyone turned pale and turned their heads away, and Ai Li put away her phone in time. But soon, Kirijo Mitsuru raised her opinion again in confusion.
"But how did they get into Tartarus? We've been watching the entrance these days and haven't seen any suspicious people coming in or out. Could it be through the TV? Then how did Amagi-san disappear? There's no TV in her bedroom."
Just as Kirijo Mitsuru said, everyone had seen Amagi Yukiko's bedroom before, and there was indeed no TV in her bedroom, and Chie Satonaka also confirmed this.
"It's not important. We can consider this issue after we find Amagi Yukiko herself."
Ai Li doesn't care about these little things. She is not Conan. She doesn't have to figure out everything when she encounters a problem. There are many things that are not clear for the time being, so don't try to figure them out. The most important thing now is not to learn Conan's reasoning and solve the case, but to break through the castle and find Amagi Yukiko as soon as possible. As for other things, we can talk about them later.
So after finishing the discussion, everyone gathered their energy and waited to explore the castle again tonight.
Meanwhile, in District 9, the situation was completely different.
"So boring... So boring, when will big sister come back?"
Jiangguchi Jietong rolled around on the sofa and kept shouting, while Xia Yin, who was next to her, looked at the girl next to her with a helpless smile. Although she didn't say anything, there was some uneasiness and worry in Xia Yin's expression.
"Senior is still dealing with a case, I'm afraid he won't be back for a while..."
At this point, Xue Cai was actually a little dejected. After all, she was Airi's partner, and according to reason, she should investigate and fight with Airi. But what Xue Cai didn't expect was that there was a shadow time on the 12th artificial island. If the people who entered were not adaptable, they would become coffins...
"My sister is working, we shouldn't disturb her."
Although Nagisa is lively and naughty, she also knows her limits. Even though Yuito gives her crazy hints, it is impossible for Nagisa to follow her and act silly.
"Then how about we all go to the 12th artificial island together?"
Seeing that other people were not fooled, Jie Tong's eyes turned and he immediately thought of another way.
"Play?"
"Yeah, we're not going to look for Big Sister. It's okay for us to go to the 12th artificial island to have some fun. Isn't it a health resort? Why don't we go and see who is more powerful than our Ninth District!"
At this point, Jie Tong also clenched her fists. Now the ninth district where they live has become the most famous tourist attraction and tourist destination on Genshin Island. The originally deserted artificial island has gradually become lively. At present, everyone likes this place very much, and naturally hopes that it will get better and better.
"Wow... But wasn't there a murder case on the 12th artificial island? It's not very safe."
Xia Yin asked her question somewhat uneasily, and Jie Tong jumped up and grabbed her hand.
"No problem. If Big Sister goes there, I guarantee that she can solve it completely in one go! Or do you not believe in Big Sister's ability, Xia Yin?"
"Of course that's not what I meant. I also want to see Sister Ai Li, but..."
"We're just going to the hot springs, it's okay, you see!"
As he spoke, Jie Tong smiled and stuffed a flyer into Xia Yin's hand.
"There is a famous Amagi Hotel on the 12th artificial island. I heard that the hot springs there can also beautify and detoxify, and enlarge breasts and nourish the skin."
After taking the flyer that Yui Hitomi handed over, Natsune hadn't said anything yet, but Nagisa suddenly jumped up.
“I want to go!!”
"Well……"
Seeing Nagisa raising his hand high, everyone was stunned. Noticing everyone's gazes, Nagisa's cheeks turned slightly red and he coughed lightly.
"I think so too... it would be nice for us to go out and have fun together, and the 12th artificial island isn't far away. Why don't we stay at the Amagi Hotel for a night and get to know each other better? What do you think?"
“…”
No one spoke, just looked at Nagisa silently. Yui Hitomi and Natsune looked at each other, then looked at Nagisa's chest - well, they were both fifteen years old, but the gap between Setsuna and Nagisa in some aspects was really too big.
We are all girls, so it is a tradition to see the truth but not say it out loud.
"Then it's decided."
Maybe it was because he felt nervous being stared at by so many people or for some other reason, but Nagisa quickly turned around and made the decision.
"Tomorrow we'll go to artificial island No. 12 to soak in the hot springs and eat seafood!"
Of course, Ai Li didn't know that her little girls were going to come over to have a big fight, but she was in no mood to deal with such a small matter. Although everyone rescued Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi was still in the tower. Now everyone had almost understood that the one who appeared on TV that night and shouted that she wanted to flirt with men everywhere was most likely another Yukiko Amagi, and the real Yukiko Amagi was imprisoned by her other self.
Although according to the rules of "Late Night TV", people will only die after the rain stops, but apart from anything else, it is already quite difficult for a girl to stay in the castle without food or water. For example, Chie Satonaka was taken in and stayed there for a night. She almost couldn't hold on the next day. Yukiko Amagi's situation will only be worse.
In fact, Ai Li had already made a decision that if they didn't rescue Yukiko Amagi today, they would not leave the castle. According to Chie Satonaka's situation, even if the shadow time ended, that world would still exist, but it would not be revealed. So Ai Li could have taken the others to stay inside and wait until the next shadow time started before coming out - of course, this was a bit risky, but for Ai Li, it was not particularly risky.
However, when the group arrived at the school gate again, they found that there was an unexpected person at the school gate.
"I want to go in with you to find Yukiko too!"
The person who stood in front of everyone was none other than Satonaka Chie. She was dressed the same as yesterday, and her eyes looked very serious as she stared at everyone. After rescuing Satonaka Chie yesterday, Ai Li and others had already told her about the situation, so Satonaka Chie also knew the current situation, so she took the opportunity of the shadow time to sneak out of the house and find Ai Li.
"I'm Yukiko's friend. Now that I know something's happened to her, I want to help."
Chie Satonaka grabbed Ai Li's hand and refused to let go.
"And my physical fitness is very good. If you don't believe me, you can ask Senior Tong Tiao and Classmate Yue Yu!"
"this……"
In response to Chie Satonaka's words, Mitsuru Kirijo and Yukari Takeha looked at each other awkwardly, and then Mitsuru Kirijo spoke.
"I admire your courage, but Satonaka-san, we don't have any extra summoners for you to use..."
"Ah, that's not a problem!"
Hearing this, Satonaka Chie nodded with a smile as if she had thought of something. Then she took a few steps back.
"Watch this! Persona!!"
As she spoke, Chie Satonaka suddenly kicked out, and the tarot cards in front of her shattered instantly. Then, a Persona figure appeared behind her.
"How is that possible?!"
Seeing this, Kirijo Mitsuru and Takeha Yukari were both shocked.
Can I summon a Persona without a summoner?!
Although Ai Li can also do this, but Ai Li is the famous Silver Witch and magician, so it is not surprising that she can do it, but Chie Satonaka is just an ordinary high school girl!
"Oh... That's great. I wish I didn't need a summoner..."
Looking at Satonaka Chie in front of her with a little envy, Yue Yujiali couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. Although using a summoner looks very cool, in fact, every time you pull the trigger at your forehead, it will produce great psychological pressure. Even if the summoner itself does not bring danger, but... most people will not have nothing to do and point a gun at their forehead.
When Ai Li heard Yue Yuyou Jiali's words, she glanced at her.
"So you're also going to expose your dark history to everyone?"
"… Never mind. I'll just keep using the summoner."
Yue Yuyou Jiali decisively chose to give up.
