Chapter 351 [8,000 words] Goodbye Chiyo (2)

In Makoto Karasawa's mysterious cellar, Gu Xing carefully observed the woman with red eyes on half her face through Daisaku Ogata's gaze.

Everything that happened last night is vivid in my mind.

It can be inferred from this that the rule of the plucked-headed witch to make people forget their memories is limited to the scenes where they saw her that night, and does not limit the preservation of the memory of the plucked-headed witch's facial features.

In addition, her forgetting rules do not restrict the locked person from recalling forgotten scenes for some reason afterwards.

Didn't any of the 111 people killed by the Headless Witch recall the horrific scene that night at some point?

Probably, because like Gu Xing, they had not seen the portrait of the witch in the cellar of Karasawa Makoto's house, so they were unable to relate it and imagine it, thus leaving clues for themselves to search for memories.

Gu Xing focused all his attention on the portrait of the witch with the head in the cellar.

At this moment, there are two main differences between the girl depicted in the mural and the girl Gu Xing saw with his own eyes last night:

First, there are no scary heads in the dense red eyes on her face in the mural.

Second, in the mural, she is holding a black square box in her hand, with a trace of black mist seeping from the gap between the box body and the lid.

According to the files provided by the East Police Department, it seems that no one has seen the true appearance of the Bald-headed Witch, because everyone who has seen her with their own eyes has separated their corpses.

People only inferred from the extremely frightened wailing of the deceased - "Witch!" "Witch" "It's a witch!" From this wailing that the grotesque creature with the head was a woman, and named it the witch with the head.

In this way, Gu Xing was much luckier than the other victims. At least, he already knew the true appearance of the witch one month before his death.

Now, it is very clear - according to the normal logic of weird rules, the fact that the witch with the head pulled out her head came to Gu Xing last night was by no means an accidental act, but a rule that she must follow every time she pulls out her head to kill someone.

That is: one month before each murder, the witch will find the victim who triggers the rule, and watch the victim like she watched Gu Xing last night.

This gaze means that the victim has been officially targeted by the Head-Bearing Witch, and he will be destined to appear in the Head-Breaking Feast a month later.

The next morning, the victim woke up from his dream and forgot everything that happened last night.

In other words, they vaguely remember what happened last night, but cannot remember exactly what happened. This is what the victims call amnesia.

Now, the question arises, why was Gu Xing targeted by the Headless Witch like other victims?

Judging from the previous investigations by the East Police Department, they still have not figured out the specific reason why the victim triggered the head-plucked witch rule.

Gu Xing ordered Daisaku Ogata to search the cellar carefully, but no new useful clues were found.

As time went by, Ogata Daisaku's fear of the cellar continued to strengthen.

Especially the statue of a woman with nine tails, whose tail shape didn't even dare to come within five steps of her... He kept begging Gu Xing to leave the cellar. This coward.

"Come back."

As soon as Gu Xing finished speaking, Taizuo Dazao sprang out of the cellar like a rabbit. He was shivering in the strong wind of the icy wilderness. He didn't know whether he was more afraid or cold.

At this time, a message came from Dong Er:

【Not much gain】

【What are you going to do next】

"Go find Karasawa Makoto again."

…

Sitting in the living room of Makoto Karasawa's house, the refreshments on the coffee table had not yet been removed.

Gu Xing stared at Karasawa Makoto. Perhaps, the other party did not expect that they would actually meet again not long after saying goodbye.

Karasawa Makoto: "Detective Hirokawa, you won't regret it, right?"

Gu Xing: "Repent? What?"

Karasawa Makoto: "Of course it's about agreeing to go to Dongdu with me."

Gu Xing: "I will never regret something like that - this time I come, I want to know something about the mysterious cellar in your home."

"Ah," after hearing this question, Karasawa Makoto seemed to tense up from a relaxed state in an instant, "Why are you interested in it?"

Gu Xing: "It involves a friend of mine who is in trouble. It is very likely to be related to the cellar in your home, but it is difficult to tell the specific situation."

"I told you before," Karasawa Makoto looked at him with deep meaning, "one night, the mystery suddenly disappeared."

Gu Xing: "I also remember that you once said that you cannot open the cellar at any time, otherwise you will cause huge trouble."

Karasawa Makoto: "That's right."

Gu Xing: "In this case, it might be some kind of terrible ominous thing? For you, its disappearance might actually be a good thing."

"Detective Hirokawa,"

Karasawa Makoto suddenly looked directly at Gu Xing, his eyes became very sharp,

"Please forgive me, for some time now, I have had a vague feeling in my heart - the disappearance of my cellar may have something to do with you.

Although there is no direct evidence, the speculation that an upright person like you took my cellar away silently is quite outrageous, but the sixth sense related to it has always been very strong.

As I told you, my sixth sense has always been very accurate. For this reason, I was deeply troubled and even visited an onmyoji who was highly respected in the industry."

Gu Xing: "Oh? What did he say?"

Makoto Karasawa: "The Onmyoji took me to a fog, and I saw your figure in the fog. You said nothing, looked at me meaningfully, and disappeared after a while.

The Onmyoji told me, 'The man in the mist just now has his origin and his end. The disappearance in the cellar of your home is also inseparable from him. If Miss Karasawa wants to untie this knot, she needs to find the answer from that person.

.'

I have always kept this matter in my heart and don't know how to speak out. Since you came here specifically to ask about this matter today, I simply put these words in the open to avoid any suspicion between us.

In addition, if that Onmyoji said something, I beg you not to trouble him, and if you have any grievances directed at me, how about that."

After Karasawa Makoto finished speaking, he took a deep breath and looked at Gu Xing.

Gu Xing also stared at Karasawa Makoto, and instantly felt more favorable towards this national actress.

Of course, it is not the ordinary good impression between men and women. It is simply a good impression of her who is willing to express her feelings, be frank and treat each other sincerely.

The original Holy Son had such an ordinary temperament that he was completely defeated in the process of swinging the ball again and again.

Of course, it wasn't all the Son's straight shots that defeated Gu Xing in the end.

It is the Holy Son who knows how to use skills, conspiracy and conspiracy. She is still good at hitting the ball, but the sudden stop at the critical moment, the silence and patience that makes her want to speak, make Gu Xing, who thinks he can cut off mundane emotions, unable to stop.

.

This is the spiritual evolution of the Holy Son, and it is also the gentle land that Gu Xing is destined to find hard to escape.

Back to Karasawa Makoto——

At that time, Gu Xing took away the cellar of Tang Ze's family. The original reason was that he discovered that Yingzi's origin was in the cellar, and then he discovered that there were even more terrifying grotesque things hidden in the cellar.

Gu Xing was worried that they would cause harm to the world and made decisions without the owner's permission.

In any case, the cellar was a legacy left to her by Tang Ze's mother. Even if Gu Xing's actions were well-intentioned, there was nothing commendable about them.

What's more, even he himself must admit it frankly——

The reason why he made his own decision without Karasawa's permission was not because of anything else but because he was worried about exposing his relationship with the Weird Alliance and the identity of his weird describer.

Such a starting point is selfish enough.

"That onmyoji was right,"

Gu Xing said: "It is true that I took away your cellar. Frankly speaking, although the starting point was with good intentions, it was really bad without your permission. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a thief's move. I want

Apologize to you."

Karasawa Makoto: "I want to ask you, where did you take it? Is it no longer in this city..."

Gu Xing: "It's not even in this world - of course, as the owner, if you insist on it coming back, you can do it."

Karasawa Makoto: "I never thought that you have such ability... No wonder, my intuition tells me that as long as I go to Dongdu with you, I will be safe and sound."

Gu Xing: "Don't think too much of me. Maybe, I'm just a bluffing puppet with the help of external forces."

Makoto Karasawa: "Can you tell me why you took away the cellar? Was it because you found something terrible hidden in it?"

Gu Xing: "To be honest, although you have issued warnings time and time again, due to special reasons that are inconvenient to explain, I still used some method to understand the specific situation in the cellar, and found that your cellar does not stay in place quietly and harmlessly.

Instead, they have been secretly releasing terrifying monsters into the world.

So...I said this, I don’t know if I made it clear. I sincerely apologize again for ignoring your warning and sneaking into the cellar."

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter,"

Karasawa Makoto said:

"The original intention of issuing such a warning to you is that firstly I am worried that you will fall into irreparable danger, and secondly I am afraid that the terrible crisis in the cellar will spread to the world.

Since you can handle it properly and have no worries at all, my warning can be regarded as a kind reminder,"

Karasawa Makoto smiled, "Right now, what I want to know more is what exactly you saw in the cellar that made you determined to take it away completely——

Please understand my curiosity. Although my mother has always warned me that there is something extremely terrifying there, she has not mentioned a word about what it is specifically. This secret has troubled me for many years.
