Chapter 162 Kill Me
…
Miyakawa Ling was arrested.
Below the temple, in a dark room, there were white bones everywhere and a strange smell that was hard to tell whether it was blood was floating in the thin air.
The thick black rope bound Miyakawa Ling's wrists tightly, and he moved uncomfortably.
"Don't waste your energy. No matter how strong you are, you can't untie it."
The man in black robe who threw him here glanced at him coldly, then turned and left.
The door of the secret room closed and the light in the room disappeared, leaving Miyagawa Ling alone in the darkness.
Not only were his wrists tied, but his neck was also tied with a black rope, and fixed to the chain on the wall as if he were imprisoned with cargo.
However, this experience is not unfamiliar to Miyagawa Ryo.
His attention is not on this at all at the moment——
Because, he was not caught because he couldn't beat those people, nor was he caught on purpose, but... he had to be caught.
Yes, I have to.
【Congratulations to the host for triggering the scene mission! 】
When he heard this voice, Miyagawa Ryo had a bad feeling.
But he didn't expect that the mission was even more outrageous than he imagined:
[It is detected that a murder will happen today in this scene. Please use the human "corpse fraud" to prevent the tragedy from happening! ]
[ps: If the host's mission rating reaches 80 points or above, you will receive a super awesome gift package! ]
Familiar words, familiar absurdity.
Last time it was a ghost story, this time the "character" is a zombie?
No, this is not a character setting at all. It is just a reminder to him that he cannot let others steal the body, he has to do it himself!
Moreover, the "corpse" is on the panel, and there is a progress bar... Miyagawa Ryo has a subtle feeling that even though he has experienced many bizarre things, he is still traumatized.
He seems to be a real gamer and reality is fake.
The progress bar of the corpse hunt is different from the last haunted one. It is a series of small tasks.
The first mission he received just now was: [Fall into enemy hands.] Countdown one minute.
The second task now is: [die.]
With only one word and no time or other restrictions, it seemed to have a much higher degree of freedom than the first task, but Miyagawa Ryo had to consider the next task.
He cannot see the third mission now, but considering the timing of the mission and the last mission, it can be imagined that the entire mission is inseparable from the prayer ceremony, the witch and others on Hale Island.
It would be better for him to die in front of these people, so that when he appears later, he can achieve the effect of "stealing corpses".
After all, people who are killed with their own hands should always be more truthful.
But reality is not a game, and faking death is not that easy, not to mention that the mission came so suddenly that Miyakawa Ling had no time to make any preparations.
So, Miyagawa Ryo now began to ponder how and when he would die.
…
After receiving the text message from Miyagawa Ryo, Conan Edogawa looked at Shuichi Akai.
He doesn't know that Miyagawa Ryo is Magno, so even though Akai Shuichi said that he and Miyagawa Ryo are enemies, he still cares more about Akai Shuichi's opinion.
"Would you like to come with us, Mr. Akai?"
Shuichi Akai took a look at the text message. The content was very simple. Miyagawa Ryo said that he was also in the secret passage and asked Edogawa Conan to find him.
Above this text message is a series of messages sent by Edogawa Conan to Miyagawa Ryo, all before two o'clock.
"Give me the phone, boy."
"Huh?"
Conan Edogawa looked at Shuichi Akai blankly as he took the phone and typed: [I saw your brother.]
"?" He was even more confused.
Isn't it said that they are enemies?
The reply came quickly: [? ]
Akai Shuichi returned the phone to Conan Edogawa: "It wasn't a message from him."
"??? Why?"
That question mark can be interpreted as surprise, or as doubt, or as "Why do you suddenly mention this?", "Didn't you understand what I said?", "Then you should know what to do" and so on!
Especially when that person is Yu Renling!
No matter how you interpret it, it's not an exaggeration! How can Akai-san be so sure that the person is not Hane Ryo!
"It's just a simple judgment. His phone is in someone else's hands now."
"..." Conan Edogawa, "Okay, so is Brother Hane in danger?!"
"I don't know." Akai Shuichi said calmly, "I'll go over and take a look. You guys wait here for me."
"What if it's a trap..."
"It doesn't matter."
"..." Edogawa Conan swallowed his saliva.
This sounds a bit arrogant!
However... he secretly glanced at the man and felt that these words sounded just ordinary when spoken by him.
It was impossible to wait there, so after Shuichi Akai took Conan Edogawa's phone and left, the two of them took a short rest and then planned to continue looking for their destination.
…
On the other hand, Miyagawa Ryo was waiting for someone to come and kill him, and then he ran out to find a killer. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to "escape".
Just as he was about to break the rope in his hands, the door of the room was opened from the outside.
The dim candlelight shone in, and Miyagawa Ling squinted slightly and saw a girl in a white dress holding a lantern walking in.
It was Yakasumi. She had already changed into the formal shrine maiden's attire. Her girlish temperament had been blurred. Her every frown and smile now looked more like what a shrine maiden should look like in people's minds.
"Are you here to kill me?" Miyakawa Ling leaned against the wall and looked up at her.
After Yage Cheng came in, the door closed again. In the dim room, there was some light because of the lantern in her hand.
She walked up to Miyagawa Rei and said, "Actually, I like Majun very much."
“I like it too.”
"..." Yage Cheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, and all his emotions disappeared completely.
"More than you like it." Miyakawa Ling continued.
"..." Yage Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid?"
Miyagawa Ling said nothing, but stared at her with his golden eyes, his gaze as gentle and unfathomable as before.
Yage Cheng lowered his eyes: "The sea god will like the look of your eyes."
No, if there really was a sea god in the world, he would have been killed long ago.
After all, he had been disrespectful to Poseidon more than once.
"What will happen to me? What will the sacrifice be?" Compared to the sea god, Miyagawa Ryo was more concerned about how he would die.
"You won't die." Unexpectedly, the witch said, "The price of the transaction is determined by the gods. Maybe you will only lose an arm or an organ."
"It doesn't sound like a religious ceremony, it sounds more like an illegal transaction."
Yakasumi's eyes were a little stern, but he said, "You're right, this is an illegal transaction."
She squatted down and reached out to help Miyakawa Ling untie the knot.
Miyakawa Ling asked: "What exactly are you going to do?"
"They are the ones outside. I won't let you go. Life or death depends entirely on your own ability." Yage Cheng only untied the complicated rope a little bit and then stopped.
It would take some time for Miyagawa Rei to fully understand the problem.
"So you're here to rescue me?"
Yage Cheng smiled beautifully, but her beauty was like an illusory bubble: "I came to see what the Sea God decided."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave, but Miyakawa Ling suddenly said, "What the Sea God decides will not affect the outcome, but your decision can."
Yage Cheng's voice became colder: "You'd better not say such things again."
Miyagawa Ling acted as if he didn't hear her: "Ms. Yage, you led me into the trap under the threat of those people, but now you want to let me go... Actually, you are not a bad person, right?"
Yage Cheng walked out indifferently.
"Your sister's death is also related to those people, right? They forced your sister to help them use the Hai □□ to conduct illegal transactions and murders."
Yakasumi clenched his fingers a little tighter.
"Not only that, but now they are threatening your parents' lives as well."
Yakasumi had already walked to the door and didn't seem to be moving.
Miyakawa Ling's voice was a little regretful: "I am Zhenchun's brother, are you really not going to help me?"
"?!" Yage Cheng turned around in shock.
Come to think of it... She seemed to have heard Sera Masumi say "Ling Ge"...
Although I only mentioned it once before... and the last time I mentioned Hanei Ling, I acted like I didn't know him at all.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. The last time we met, I was busy with work and didn't recognize her. Miss Yage, can you bear to let Zhenchun never see me for the last time?"
Yage Cheng leaned against the cold wall. She couldn't quite understand the man in front of her. It was a matter of life and death, but he didn't seem to care at all. He spoke slowly and neither fast nor slow, as if he was sure she would waver.
"Do you really think I care about Sera Masumi?"
Miyagawa Ling looked at her with a smile, and his expression seemed to say: Why else would you still be here?
"If I let you go and get discovered, I'll die too."
"You don't have to let me go." Miyakawa Ling said, "Just kill me."
"???" Yakasumi.
…
When Yakasumi walked out of the secret room, he felt very complicated.
In fact, because she had limited free time, the young man named Yu Renling didn't say much to her. But because of this, the things revealed in the young man's simple few sentences shocked her and made her heart beat like thunder.
...What a terrible person.
However, she didn't need to think too much about what she had to do. She just had to find a way to "kill" him as he said.
Yagosumi didn't have a cell phone on her as it was taken away by those people, so she wasn't sure about the exact time. She quickened her pace and quickly reached a safe area where she wouldn't be associated with meeting Miyagawa Ryo if she was discovered.
"Where have you been?" a man saw her and asked.
This man had dark skin and was missing a little finger on his left hand. He was the person Conan Edogawa met that night.
"I just came here not long ago and got lost. I'm sorry." Yagecheng said with his eyes lowered.
The man sneered, but he didn't doubt it. After all, Yage Cheng had just returned not long ago, and the structure of the secret passage was really complicated.
He lowered his head and continued to ask the person on the other end of the phone: "Have those two little devils been there? Why haven't they made any move yet?"
The person on the other side said, "They haven't come yet...Will they guess it's a trap?"
"Is your kid that smart?! If you don't catch him before the celebration, I'll kill you!"
"Yes, yes!" the man said in panic.
The celebration was about to begin and time was running out, but Yakasumi didn't show any sign of being anxious.
She waited until the man finished his call before whispering, "I'm going to the temple first."
"It's almost time," the man said with a cold look in his eyes, "You're not as stupid as your sister, are you?"
There was a slight smile on Yakasumi's lips, and the man looked at her with interest.
"Don't worry, my sister's ridiculous guilt is useless. What I want is the money to cure my illness, to be admired by everyone, and to become the 'messenger of the sea god who can fulfill wishes'... I won't be as stupid as my sister."
The man laughed: "You're good!"
Yakasumi bowed his head and said, "May the Sea God grant my wish."
This sentence made the man laugh even more: "Poseidon! Hahahaha, Poseidon will make it happen!"
Yakasumi took the opportunity to leave. She did not go to the temple immediately, but instead took the time to prepare the props, and then followed the route given by Miyakawa Ling to a certain place in the secret passage...
