Chapter 166 Detective Luo He, the Haunted Bungalow Incident (2-in-1)
The sun is shining brightly, which is a good weather for hiking.
Yunda University, at the gate of campus.
The handsome young man was wearing a white shirt, looking up at the clear blue sky, letting his thoughts follow the drifting clouds, and saw a figure approaching from the corner of his eye.
"Sister Ye." Luo He greeted.
The visitor has long black hair that is as soft as a waterfall, and has light purple and cold eyes. He is wearing a black sailor uniform with a white bow, and a pair of black pantyhose that flatters the shape of his legs under a pleated skirt.
Ye Zhi's waist hangs an eye-catching sword sheath. When she calls out the sword spirit, the sword spirit will be armed with a sword and placed in the scabbard.
Upon hearing the greeting, Ye Zhi looked at Luo He, nodded slightly and said, "You're so early."
"I'm used to getting up early," Luo He said.
Get up early every day and read through your travel diary.
Luo He said: "Senior sister, she arrived half an hour early."
Ye Zhi thought for a moment and replied: "I like to prepare in advance and act according to the plan to reduce mistakes."
"So, you must not be good at fire attributes." Luo He said.
"Why do you say that?" Ye Zhi tilted his head.
"Because most fire attribute trainers are reckless."
Luo He paused and changed his words: "Most people value intuition."
Ye Zhi showed a thoughtful expression.
Captain Miao once commented that Ye Zhi paid too much attention to planning and staying calm, resulting in his reactions often being half a beat slower than others.
The black-haired girl was holding a handbag, looking at the camellias on the treetops, thinking about the itinerary, and said slowly:
"We can reach our destination in the afternoon, but we may have to stay overnight at the mission location."
"Why?"
"Because the mission background introduction said that the supernatural events in the bungalow only happened after midnight."
Ye Zhidao: "We'd better wait and see what happens, wait until the opponent shows up, and then compete with him."
It sounds like a feasible plan... Luo He thought about it and said, "I'll follow the arrangement."
Ye Zhi nodded slightly and said, "The specific plan will be discussed in detail after everyone is here."
At this time, a large six-seater off-road vehicle slowly drove over and stopped in front of Luo He and Ye Zhi. The door opened automatically.
The driver in the driver's seat was captain Miao Yingying, saying:
"Oh, you two came so early! Have you had breakfast?"
"Eat." They both said in unison.
"How early did you two get up? You even had breakfast."
Miao Yingying scratched her hair: "Forget it, let's eat whatever we want in the service area for lunch. After arriving at the bungalow in the afternoon, we can have a good meal in the evening."
As a junior, Miao Yingying has a driver's license, so she drove everyone to the mission location in a rented car.
However, Luo He was a little surprised when he heard the itinerary.
Luo He said: "Shall we have dinner in the bungalow?"
"Otherwise?" Miao Yingying said.
"But aren't we going to investigate the bungalow? That bungalow is haunted," Luo He said.
"We can first make the ghost relax its vigilance and mistakenly think that we are ordinary tenants, and then give it a big surprise!"
Miao Yingying said carelessly: "So the first half of the trip can be treated as a party."
Go to a haunted bungalow and have a party.
This is the first group activity in my college career.
Hmm...sounds like a very innovative start.
Luo He nodded and said, "Okay, let me prepare the dinner. I'm better at this."
Miao Yingying chuckled and said: "Of course, I am a junior who won the championship in the cooking competition. I have been coveting my skills for a long time!"
After a while.
Analyst Wei Zhe arrived with a mechanical bird on his shoulders.
[Note: Mechanical birds commonly used for high-definition surveillance and image recording are equipped with infrared detection functions.]
"Why did you bring the mechanical bird here?" Miao Yingying asked.
"Because, I plan to explain my plan to everyone."
Wei Zhe adjusted his glasses and said,
"I plan to use the mechanical bird as an electronic eye during the mission. This way, even if the mission fails, the footage can be recorded and reported to the association in exchange for a small portion of the reward."
Captain Miao gave a thumbs up: "Master, you are brilliant!"
At present, the four members of the school team have been assembled. Everyone is sitting in the car chatting, and the content is mainly related to this year's college league.
"Next week, we will have a points match with Jindu University. This points match will also determine whether we can advance to the top 16 from dozens of universities across the country." Miao Yingying said.
Wei Zhedao: "Yun University's results in the combat department are not ideal. Last year, Ye Zhi didn't transfer here, and we didn't even make it to the top 16. As for this year..."
Miao Yingying gritted her teeth and said: "This year, reaching the top 16 will be considered a success!"
Luo He asked: "Is it also the case that Imperial University won the championship last year?"
Wei Zhe nodded and said: "Last year, Imperial University lost a total of two games, and those two games were due to the absence of captain Jiang Dongyang. They are a strong team that is difficult to defeat."
"I'm so annoyed." Miao Yingying patted the steering wheel and said angrily, "It's been a quarter of an hour, why hasn't Tu Yanwu come yet?"
At this time, a figure with a red afro appeared outside the car.
Tu Yanwu came up on a fierce bullfight, looking left and right, looking for everyone.
Miao Yingying pressed the car window and said, "Stop riding that fierce bullfight of yours! Get in the car quickly!"
Tu Yanwu hurriedly got into the car and said with a smile:
"Sorry, I overslept over the weekend. I'm really sorry."
Miao Yingying snorted coldly: "Just don't be late for the game."
Tu Yanwu did not dare to reply. He sat on the seat next to Luo He, elbowed Luo He, and whispered:
"Luo He, did I miss anything important?"
"Nothing, just wait, have lunch in the service area, and let's hold an impromptu meeting to discuss the battle plan." Luo He said.
Tu Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief, with gratitude in his eyes, and whispered: "Thank you... As for the plan, I will listen to you!"
"Everyone, fasten your seat belts."
Miao Yingying held the steering wheel: "The total journey is expected to take two hours, Lao Siji is about to leave!"
The off-road vehicle drove away from the Yunnan University campus, and the lush trees quickly retreated outside the car window.
The wind blowing through the car windows brought with it the freshness of early autumn, and soft music was playing on the car radio.
When the song ends, the radio breaks into advertising.
"Midsummer Nights No. 5 perfume is irreplaceable and unique."
Miao Yingying muttered: "Why are there advertisements on the radio now?"
Ye Zhi said: "On Midsummer Eve, my mother likes to use this brand of perfume."
"Good perfume can increase the intimacy between the trainer and the pet animal."
Wei Zhe analyzed: "Therefore, perfumers are also regarded as a branch of breeders."
Just like trainers, there are different professions such as psychics, mechanics, hunters, etc.
In addition to chefs who specialize in pet food, breeders also have professions such as bartenders and perfumers.
Luo He remembered that Xia Miao was good at mixing fragrances, and it was easy to hunt powerful beasts with spices.
Luo He himself belongs to the category of One Tong Baitong.
He also has considerable attainments in the fields of bartending and perfumery.
An hour later, the vehicle stopped at the service area, and everyone had a quick lunch and formulated a battle plan.
Since supernatural events only occur after midnight, it means that the dark-type beasts only appear at that time.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, everyone decided to move into the bungalow as tenants first and wait and see what happens.
Afternoon.
In the mountain forest, several hoarse calls of night crows could be heard.
This was originally a villa resort, but the developers ran away, leaving only a few lonely bungalows.
The abandoned bungalow is located halfway up the mountain. It is overgrown with weeds due to lack of management. There is a landscape town one kilometer away from the bungalow. Now it is empty, leaving only a deserted ghost town.
Surrounded by mountains and forests, the few remaining bungalows have been converted into B&Bs, but they are only open a few times a year, and the environment is full of gloom and desolation.
The vehicle stopped in front of the gate of a bungalow.
Everyone got out of the car and looked at the fence covered with rust and moss, with different expressions.
"I really admire those tenants for being able to rent such a house in the wilderness." Tu Yanwu said with emotion.
"Shh, we are tenants now. We want to avoid exposing the trainer's identity." Miao Yingying made a silent gesture.
Luo He looked at the vine-covered bungalow behind the rusty door and pondered:
"This is really just a show to 'ghosts'..."
The door is unlocked.
With a squeak, Ye Zhi pushed open the rusty door railing with his scabbard, turned around and gave everyone a wink, and walked into the door immediately.
Luo He followed her footsteps, and a fountain came into view.
The water in the fountain has dried up and fallen leaves have accumulated. If you peek into the fountain pool, you can see millipedes and other insects appearing and disappearing in the layer of rotting leaves.
Tu Yanwu glanced at it and his face turned pale: "Damn, there are bugs."
"You are actually afraid of bugs." Wei Zhe said in surprise, "This is not fire-based at all."
Tu Yanwu: "..."
You don’t think that all fire trainers are red-haired, muscular men, do you?
Prejudice, this is all prejudice!
Miao Yingying followed the sound, her eyes lit up, and she was very happy: "There are insects."
Luo He looked at the insect beasts and said, "Senior, are you very knowledgeable about insects?"
"I'm a Gu Master." Miao Yingying blinked, "I'm the one you know, the minority clan that knows how to lay poisons."
Hearing this, Luo He nodded.
The so-called Gu Insect Master refers to the type of trainer whose main combat power is insect beasts.
"It's a pity, these bugs are not edible."
Chef Luo felt a little regretful:
"Otherwise, we can eat roasted pupae, roasted scorpions and the like tonight."
Miao Yingying glanced at Luo He in astonishment, a little surprised.
This junior... how come he can even cook these dishes?
Oh, by the way, he is a fellow Yunling fellow like me!
"Next time I'll send you a box of pupae. Eat them early, otherwise you can't eat them if they turn into moths." Miao Yingying said kindly.
Luo He said: "Then I will also send a box of mushrooms to my senior sister, and they must be roasted, otherwise I will meet the villain."
Looking at the two Yunling people chatting enthusiastically, Wei Zhe calmly pushed up the frame of his glasses.
Well, it fits my imagination of Yunling people!
While chatting, Ye Zhi took the lead and walked towards the door of the bungalow.
Squeak.
The door was pushed open.
To everyone's surprise, the interior of the bungalow was clean and tidy, as if someone lived there permanently.
The bungalow is elegantly decorated in Western style, with exquisite curtains that are not dusty, and empty vases placed on the long dining table.
Tu Yanwu looked around and muttered: "This doesn't look like a haunted house, does it?"
Wei Zhe inspected the neat interior and said, "A housekeeper should be here to take care of it... Let's go look around together first."
In the center of the bungalow is a spacious staircase, paved with red carpet, leading to the second floor.
Halfway up the stairs, there were traces of nails on the central wall, which should have been used to hang portraits, but the portraits were missing.
Luo He looked at the wall, rubbed his chin, and found that the black-haired girl was standing beside him, staring at the wall.
"Normally speaking, a portrait of the owner of the bungalow would be hung here." Ye Zhidao said.
Luo He agreed with the girl's view and said, "But the portrait has been taken away. I don't know if it can be found in this house."
"Hey!" Tu Yanwu shouted from downstairs, "I found something here!"
Luo He and Ye Zhi looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Rushing to the nearby area, Miao Yingying said: "What's wrong? What did you see?"
Tu Yanwu pointed at the door and said cheerfully:
"There is a chess and card room here with a mahjong table and various board games. Those who like playing cards are in luck."
It was as if a crow was flying over everyone's heads, spitting out black dots.
"You can play by yourself." Miao Yingying said without interest, "I'll go to other rooms and have a look."
Seeing this, the others turned around and left, leaving Tu Yanwu standing alone at the door of the chess and card room.
"It's not like a person can't play cards alone."
Tu Yanwu muttered something, then rushed into the chess and card room.
Squeak.
A gust of wind came, the curtains rolled and the door closed.
In the hall.
Wei Zhe sat on the sofa, swinging the laptop in his hand, and murmured:
"Without signal, even the trainer's bracelet cannot be located..."
In the corner.
Miao Yingying opened the small bread she brought with her and sprinkled the crumbs on it.
After waiting for a long time, Miao Yingying looked around and muttered:
"There aren't even any ants. This owner really loves to be clean."
On the other side.
Ye Zhi walked into the master bedroom, looked at the princess bed with pink curtains, and looked at the pear wood dresser with twinkling eyes.
The owner of the bungalow must be a woman, and she is not yet married. She is the only one who lives in the master bedroom.
Ye Zhi frowned slightly as his peripheral vision fell on the carpet.
It was a pet's nest, not far from the bed. It seemed that the pet had a good relationship with its owner and lived in the same room.
Suddenly, Ye Zhi raised his head and saw a portrait suddenly appeared on the wall.
In the portrait, a graceful and noble girl rested her hand on the back of a white fox and smiled strangely towards Ye Zhi.
In the kitchen.
Luo He sighed:
"Sure enough, cooking a delicious dinner is the most important thing."
"ah!!!"
The scream interrupted Luo He's thoughts.
In my mind, I suddenly thought of a Detective Conan-style plot.
Detective Luo He, Episode XX.
Title, Haunted House Murder Case!
Luo He quickly rushed to the scene of the incident.
In front of him, Tu Yanwu fell on the floor of the chess and card room, unconscious.
Beside her, Miao Yingying covered her mouth with her trembling hands, her face was pale, and she said:
"He, he's dead?"
Wei Zhe stood aside and frowned: "I heard a bang at that time, as if something heavy fell to the ground, so I quickly called the captain to come to the chess and card room with me, and then I saw Tu Yanwu lying here."
Luo He stepped forward, leaned over, observed for a moment, and said:
"Not dead, just asleep."
With that said, Luo He called out Xuexue and said:
"Xuexue, try to use aromatic healing."
Fragrance healing, a grass-type move, can use the fragrance of flowers to heal teammates.
Xuexue obeyed the order, and the petals above her head exuded a soft and refreshing fragrance.
Not long after, Tu Yanwu woke up and looked around blankly.
Miao Yingying curled her lips and said, "Tsk, I'm just asleep. It's a waste of my expression."
Wei Zhe held up the frame and said, "Actually, I bought insurance for everyone before the mission, so everyone can rest assured."
Luo He: “Where are the beneficiaries?”
Wei Zhe was silent.
Luo He was amazed.
Such a united school team, everyone looks like a murderer!
Tu Yanwu scratched his hair and said in confusion: "Strange, why did I suddenly fall asleep? I only played cards until about four o'clock yesterday..."
Luo He calmly ignored Pai Lao's soliloquy and said alertly:
"Where's Senior Ye Zhi?"
Miao Yingying said: "She was investigating the master bedroom on the second floor, but she didn't come over."
Now that the dark pet beast has taken action, there is no need to pretend anymore.
Luo He made a quick decision and said, "You three stay here, I'll go up to the second floor and take a look."
"But..." Miao Yingying hesitated.
"No problem, I have the means to protect myself." Luo He said.
Although he is only a freshman, Luo He's words and deeds are surprisingly convincing.
Everyone nodded and agreed to Luo He's suggestion.
Luo He quickly walked through the stairs and came to the second floor.
A long corridor comes into view.
Luo He remembered that the master bedroom was located at the innermost side of the corridor, so he hurried forward.
However, this corridor seems to have no end. No matter how you walk, you will always see repeated scenery and return to the starting point again.
"A ghost hits a wall, right?"
Luo He looked at the ceiling and said:
"Then don't blame me for punching through the ceiling."
The Sun God Eye is inherited from the king-level move of Zao Lord. Zao Lord once used this move to get rid of illusions and discern the truth.
A shining red summoning array formed under his feet, and the hot wind blew around, fluttering the hem of the handsome young man's shirt.
The fire-tailed golden-eyed beast's body is burning with flames, its eyes flash with golden light, and it grins intimidatingly.
Luo He said:
"Xiaojiu, Sun God Eye!!"
Xiao Jiu's eyes were burning with golden flames, and two rays of shining golden energy were about to shoot out.
If it were shot to the ceiling, it would definitely poke a big hole in the entire bungalow!
In an instant, the illusion dissipated.
Luo He said to himself:
"You know the truth."
At the end of the corridor, there was the sound of a fierce fight.
Luo He walked quickly and opened the door.
For a moment, Luo He was stunned on the spot.
In the master bedroom, a white-haired girl wearing a dress was confronting a black-haired girl holding a sword.
The strange thing is that a pair of long horns grow on the head of the black-haired girl.
The originally snow-white skin turned red, as if blood was surging.
Senior Sister Ye's appearance at this time is like the ghost tribe with horns on its head and red skin in the legend of Sakurajima.
Luo He broke into the battle, and the two girls looked at him in unison.
The white-haired girl's eyes showed fear, while the black-haired girl's expression looked nervous and heavy.
The situation is deadlocked and the atmosphere is strange.
Luo He cleared his throat and spoke to break the dead silence:
"I said, between you two, which one is the ghost?"
Both pointing fingers at each other:
"she!"
Luo He: "..."
Otherwise, beat both of them once and there won't be any mistakes.
