Chapter Twelve Do you want to do something interesting?
Three days later.
Yagami Detective Agency.
During this period, thanks to Chiba Yui’s tireless organizing and cleaning, the office has now regained its tidy appearance.
Behind the large desk, Yashenkong lowered his head and thought about something.
In front of him, there were dozens of different records.
These are all collected by Master Suten over the past few days, including information about the victims of Miss Himejima's incident.
Just now, he went through this information.
The total number of victims of this urban legend incident exceeds twenty, and all of them are male.
The age distribution is between fifteen and fifty, and their occupations include students, company employees, public officials, corporate white-collar workers, unemployed vagrants, small gangsters...
Three of them have criminal records, and the rest have blank criminal records.
Nine people have received higher education, and four of them received scholarships while in school...
Looking at these records on hand, Ye Shenkong knew clearly.
As long as we can find something in common among these victims, we can use this as a starting point to find Miss Himejima!
But here's what's bothering him now.
Whether it's hobbies, social circles, blood ties, or even the most visited websites, these victims just can't find any connection with each other, and can even be described as irrelevant.
Why did Miss Himejima come to them?
Ye Shenkong couldn't help but frown.
Could it be said that Miss Himejima's selection was completely random, and they were chosen purely because they were unlucky?
Or is there some kind of evidence that cannot be collected that can secretly connect everything...
At this moment, the office door was pushed open again.
Outside the door, Chiba Yui lightly knocked the dirt on the soles of her shoes and then walked inside.
"Yakami-kun, has there been any progress in the investigation of the incident?"
"There are some clues, but not much." Ye Shenkong stared at the records on the table.
"Then why not take a short rest? Come on, please use it."
Chiba Yui walked around the table and brought a cup of freshly brewed black tea to Yagami Sora.
"Thank you." Ye Shenkong nodded.
Looking at the information in front of Yagami Sora, Chiba Yui couldn't help but exclaimed.
"You don't even spare innocent people? Miss Himejima is unexpectedly a terrible person."
"Are you innocent?" Yashenkong suddenly raised his head, "Why does Chiba-san think so?"
"Because these people are obviously good and law-abiding citizens. They were involved in such a tragic disaster for no reason. It makes me feel very pitiful when I think about it." Chiba Yui explained, pointing to the information in front of her.
Hearing this, Yashenkong couldn't help but shook his head.
"Chiba-san, you have to understand that the law only imposes the minimum requirements on people. Even if they don't have a criminal record, it doesn't rule out the possibility that they are secretly scumbags."
"People who look bright and bright on the outside may also have extremely dark thoughts buried in their hearts, which are only hidden due to society's requirements for human nature. With this piece of information alone, it is impossible to determine whether a person is 'innocent'..."
..”
Suddenly, Ye Shenkong was slightly startled.
Something that connects everything and is invisible...
Inner...thoughts?
He was suddenly startled.
What if it was not Miss Himejima who chose them, but they chose Miss Himejima?
I made this choice because I was driven by some inner desire.
The appearance of Miss Himejima only amplified this desire. No, Miss Himejima appeared around them because she was aware of the desire in their hearts...
Looking at the scattered records in front of him, Yashenkong couldn't help but smile happily and leaned back.
"I see, it is indeed an urban legend and cannot be inferred based on common sense at all."
"Hey? Yagami-kun, do you know anything?" Chiba Yui on the side asked curiously.
"It's just speculation at the moment." Yagami said thoughtfully, "Chiba-san, do you know about pheromones?"
"Have you ever learned in biology that...it's a chemical substance, right?"
"Yes, according to my speculation, if people's inner activities are compared to different pheromones, then 80% of them have the ability to receive these pheromones, and some types of them have a fatal temptation for Miss Himejima.
That’s why she shows up frequently.”
"And her appearance has the effect of feeding back this pheromone, so people lose self-control, expose their inner thoughts, make bolder moves than before, and then become victims of Miss Himejima."
"The reason why the client came to the office specifically to issue this type of commission is probably because of the influence of Miss Himejima."
Ye Shenkong paused and then continued.
"If my reasoning is correct, this desire should come from a frivolous toying mentality, that is, to achieve one's own desires by deceiving the other person's emotions and body, which is the so-called scumbag mentality..."
"If you can keep thinking like this in your heart, then Ms. Himejima will come to your door sooner or later, right?"
"But now it's too late. If you want to attract Miss Himejima's attention, you must find another way..."
Having said this, Yagami Sora couldn't help but look at Chiba Yui, who was looking confused.
After pondering for two seconds, he made up his mind.
"Chiba-san."
"Here!" Chiba Yui subconsciously raised her head and stood at attention.
"I need your help, can you?"
"It's okay...but what do I need to do?" Chiba Yui asked confused.
"It's very simple." Ye Shenkong said.
"As long as I become the kind of person who can attract Himejima-san, it's enough."
...
Tokyo, Shinjuku.
Dusk falls on the dark brown glass curtain wall of the building, and the bus below slowly enters the station.
"Ah~ah~, first I was let off by Reiko, and then Saori found out that the necklace I gave her was a fake and wanted to break up with me. I'm really unhappy today."
Takagi Yusuke suddenly kicked the can on the ground, and it hit the roadside with a bang and bounced away. He couldn't help but spit and complained.
"Damn, what a bad luck!"
The passers-by looked at this man with a combed haircut, hands in his pockets, hunched over and a fierce look on his face. They all chose to lower their heads and walk faster to pass.
"Brother Gao Cheng, don't think about these troubles anymore, let's go to karaoke and relax." One of the younger brothers following behind him said with a smile.
"Get out of here, I would rather die than go singing with two grown men." Yusuke Takagi cursed, "I've been shopping all day, and there's no prey I can look at!"
"Brother Gao Cheng, as for the prey, isn't there one over there?" The other boy's eyes suddenly lit up and he came close to Yusuke Gao Cheng.
"Ah? Where?"
Takagi Yusuke subconsciously turned his head.
The next moment, his eyes couldn't help but stare straight.
Next to the bus stop, a beautiful girl wearing a blue-grey uniform was standing there.
She has a graceful figure and a dignified temperament.
Under the plaid skirt, her plump long legs covered in black stockings are particularly eye-catching.
With just one glance, Takagi Yusuke completely forgot about Reiko and Saori.
Whether it was appearance, figure, or temperament, the other girl was like a scumbag to all the girls he had ever seen.
The gap between them is like Liuche Quanxi versus Habach, the two are not of the same dimension at all.
At this moment, the can that he had just kicked away happened to roll next to the girl's shoe.
The other party glanced down, then knelt down and picked it up.
Seeing this scene, Takagi Yusuke's lower body suddenly moved uncontrollably.
While running over, he waved to the other party.
"Hi, miss, I'm sorry, I dropped that bottle."
"Really? I'll give it back to you then." The other party was slightly startled, but then showed a soft smile and reached out to hand it over.
"Thank you, miss, you are such a good person." Yusuke Takagi pretended to be very touched and also extended his hand.
However, he did not pick up the can, but instead took the opportunity to touch the other person's soft little hand without any scruples.
"Miss, are you alone?"
"Would you like to go with us to the side and do something interesting?"
