"drink!!"
Faced with the out-of-control fire truck, Shizuku stood in front of the girl without hesitation and stretched out her right hand. The next moment, the fire truck stopped instantly with a dull crash.
“…Haaa…Haaa…”
At this time, the girl calmed down a little. She slowly raised her head and looked in front of her. Then she saw Shizuku standing there. Then she slowly turned her head back - a blood-stained and extremely terrifying face turned 180 degrees and stared at her.
“Aa ...
At this moment, the girl fell to the ground with a scream.
"call……"
Only then did Shizuku heave a sigh of relief, shake her hands, and twist her neck again. Then she walked in front of Inaba Satoko and stared at her.
"Was that the same cry you heard before?"
"Eh? Ah... this..."
In response to Shizuku's question, Inaba Satoko was a little confused, but still nodded.
"Yes, it should be... about the same?"
"Then it should be fine."
Hearing this, Shizuku nodded, then stood up and looked around. At this moment, the other people around also stood up in shock, and Nueno Meisuke looked even more solemn. He came to Shizuku's side and whispered.
"I don't sense any evil spirits."
"Neither have I. Goodness, I didn't expect this thing to be the reincarnation of a bald killer."
Hearing what Nueno Meisuke said, Shizuku also gritted her teeth. If the evil spirit appeared at the scene, then both Nueno Meisuke and herself would definitely be able to sense it at the first time. However, from the beginning to the end of the current disaster, she did not feel any spiritual power or demonic energy. It seemed that the whole incident was just an accident from beginning to end. If she had not stopped the fire truck just now, the girl would have been accidentally killed.
As for the last scene, it was an illusion that Shizuku made the ghosts in Frostmourne show to the girl. After all, according to what Inaba Satoko said, they heard the girl's screams afterwards. Since they are exactly the same, then let it be exactly the same. Anyway, this is the characteristic of a death call, isn't it?
Of course, Shizuku was just taking a gamble to see if she could fool that damn thing. After all, she didn't sense the presence of ghosts at the scene, which meant that the evil spirit was obviously not there, and it was very likely that it was controlled by something remotely. In this case, if it was just because it heard the same feedback and determined that its killing method was successful, then it was not impossible to fool the other party...
"bite……"
However, at this moment, suddenly, a strange cell phone ringtone rang.
"Ding dong dang dong ding dong dang dong ding dong dang ding..."
“…”
Hearing the cell phone ringing, no one present spoke. Instead, they slowly shifted their gaze and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw the girl still sitting there in a daze. Her face was pale and her lips were blue, and the cell phone in her hand was making a strange ringing sound.
Hey, you're not done yet?
Shizuku walked over, snatched the phone from the other person's hand, and opened it. As expected, the phone's number appeared inside. At the same time, the ringing of the phone stopped, and a line of pictures appeared on the screen.
【You have a new message】
“…”
Wow, the Japanese are really keeping up with the times and even use electronic voice mailboxes!
Seeing this, Shizuku's face turned black. She finally understood why she couldn't feel the aura of the vengeful spirit on her phone. It turned out that this damn ghost was just like a hacker, and he knew how to use a relay server to protect himself!
Just like when hackers break into other people's computers, they usually use multiple relay servers to cover their tracks before they break into other people's computers. In this way, even if they find that they have been hacked, they have enough time to hide their tracks. The same is true for this thing. In fact, it does not even connect directly to the other party's mobile phone, but connects to the host server first, and then dials the number through the server to leave a message. In this way, no matter how weird the content is, it is just an ordinary phone call, and people will not be aware of any evil spirits or curses.
This guy is really smart!
Shizuku was so angry that she wanted to curse.
Look at how simple the vengeful spirits in ancient times were. If they wanted to scare people or kill people, they would do it themselves. They are nothing like you lonely ghosts who kill people secretly like thieves... Oh, the tricks in the city are really complicated. I'd better go back to Kaishen Village. No matter how disgusting the vengeful spirits there are, they are better than this thing...
Shizuku complained in her heart while answering the answering machine. Sure enough, three days had passed again, and the other party's voice and screams could be heard from the other end... Well, it seems that this death call cannot be fooled by acting alone, and it will not be the end until the other party is dead.
Although she escaped this time, the girl was completely frightened. She had not taken the death call seriously at first, but she did say the same words she heard on the phone just now, and was almost hit to death by the out-of-control fire truck afterwards. This made the girl uneasy at once, and Shizuku handed the task of comforting the girl to Nueno Meisuke and his two students, while she called Hinasaki Shinku and the others again to confirm the situation - this kind of life where you are not afraid of thieves stealing but are afraid of thieves thinking about it is not a life for human beings. Instead of this, it is better to find the thieves' den and wipe them out in one fell swoop!
However, the answer Hinasaki Shinku gave her left Shizuku completely speechless.
"The clue is broken?"
"Yes, yes, Shizuku-nee."
Hinasaki Shinkuro on the other side of the microphone was also sweating profusely.
"Ms. Fengshi and I have reached a point where we can no longer track down the person. The owner of this phone is missing, and we can't find her or her family..."
"Then there should be call records in the server host. Is there any call made to her?"
"We screened them all, and only one was suspicious, but..."
"but?"
"That's a landline number..."
Well, Shizuku understood why Hinasaki Shinku was unable to track down the matter.
If it was a self-made mobile phone, even if the owner was missing and the phone could not be found, the information could be retrieved from the company's server, but the landline phone was not within Shizuku's jurisdiction. It was obviously not something that Hinasaki Shinku could do to retrieve the communication records of the landline phone.
"Give me the number and I'll ask the Metropolitan Police Department to check it out."
Fortunately, Shizuku didn't get the title of consultant for nothing.
After getting the number from Hinasaki Shinku, Shizuku immediately called the Metropolitan Police Department to inform them of the investigation. Fortunately, it was not difficult to investigate this matter. Soon Shizuku got the owner of the landline number and family information from the Metropolitan Police Department. The owner of the landline number was Mizunuma Marie, who had two daughters, the eldest daughter Mimiko Mizunuma and the second daughter Nanako Mizunuma. According to the records of the Metropolitan Police Department, Mizunuma Marie is currently missing, the eldest daughter died of illness eight months ago, and the second daughter Nanako Mizunuma is currently in foster care.
"Hmm? I remember the owner of that phone number is also..."
After reading the relevant information sent by the Metropolitan Police Department, Shizuku's expression changed, and then she took the information sent to her by Hinasaki Shinku. As expected, the owner of the last mobile phone was also Mizunuma Marie.
So Marie Mizunuma is dead? The death call she received came from her own home?
In other words, could this death call be related to Marie Mizunuma?
Thinking of this, Shizuku quickly collected the information, then found Nueno Meisuke and explained to him the cause and effect of the matter.
"So are we going to investigate that Mizunuma Marie?"
"That's right, time is urgent, let's act separately."
Shizuku nodded.
"Go to the welfare home and find Mizunuma Nanako who is fostered there. As an elementary school teacher, you should be good at this. Ask about her family situation. I will go to Mizunuma Marie's home and the hospital to investigate. If there is anything..."
As she spoke, Shizuku took out a cell phone and handed it over.
"Use this to contact me."
"Oh, okay, okay..."
"Also, here is the address of Mizunuma Nanako's welfare home. If anything happens, notify me immediately."
Shizuku was furious. Although it is said that if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet, but how could she, the incarnation of the God of Games, the God of Magical Girls, the God of Lust, the Time Dragon, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, the Legendary Mage, the Paladin, the President of Starlight Technology, the Admiral of the Mental Model Fleet, the Lord of the Insect Tribe..., be overturned by a small vengeful spirit in this world?
Doesn't she have any dignity?!
Neither Red Ponytail nor Ellie have ever been so embarrassed.
"I see. I'll investigate immediately."
Although he didn't know why Shizuku looked so unhappy, as a psychic, Nueno Meisuke would not sit idly by, so he nodded vigorously. Then he took the address and took a look at the note.
"...Hey? Neighboring city? Excuse me, can you lend me 500 yuan for the train fare?"
“…”
Shizuku had forgotten that this person was so poor that he even picked up a hundred-yuan coin at the end of the month.
Faced with Nueno Meisuke's somewhat embarrassed request, she sighed helplessly, then took out ten Fukuzawa Yukichi cards from her pocket and handed them over.
"I'll give you 100,000. That's enough. Remember, we're in a hurry, so don't save money."
"T-a hundred thousand?!"
Looking at the banknotes handed to him, Naeya Meisuke's eyes widened as big as copper bells - God knows, he doesn't even have 100,000 yuan on his deposit slip now! !
"No, there's no need for that. I only need one..."
"Just take it if I tell you to."
Shizuku didn't have time to play the Japanese way of making excuses with Nueno Meisuke. She stuffed the 100,000 yuan in her hand into Nueno Meisuke's hand and turned away.
"I'm also busy investigating. Remember, call me immediately if you have any questions!"
Looking at Shizuku who turned and left, and then looking at the 100,000 yuan in his hand, Nueno Meisuke stood there like a stone statue, motionless.
With so much money, what can he do? !
