In the dark night, a continuous dull thunder rolled in the stratus clouds, followed immediately by the sound of urgent raindrops hitting the windows.
When Rosetta returned to the apartment with the sound of rain, it was already around early the next morning.
Tick tick tick, the hands of the clock on the wall moved slowly, and the jazz melody resounded in the room. Only in this vague tune, Rosetta's physical and mental exhaustion was barely relieved.
After resting for a while, he got up and opened the window.
The slightly cold air suddenly hit my face, and at the same time, there was the endless sound of pattering rain, and the outline of the city in the distant thunder.
Twisting the string of black rosary beads I brought back.
His thoughts gradually came together from his drowsiness.
After experiencing what happened today, compared to Toru Watanabe's "Tang Liu", he felt more and more that there was an almost essential difference between the "spiritual energy" he possessed and the "superpowers" possessed by other resurrected people.
.
Although he does not have any material destructive ability, in terms of unique functionality, his spiritual energy is like reaching into the gap of time.
I just used the blackened rosary beads to "synchronize" for a while.
Having never practiced any martial arts school before, he was able to directly display the swordsmanship of the Riqu Hidden Fox style, and even initially mastered the secret sword style of 'Ghost', even if he no longer needed to rely on beads for memory synchronization.
Part of it can be used.
Such exaggerated things would sound like nonsense to anyone with common sense.
But if Rosetta is given some more time.
When he completely... no, even if he only digested a small part of the memory on the rosary, using Watanabe Toru as a reference, he would be confident that he could easily kill this guy who claimed to be a 'new human being' and had mastered super powers.
"It's a pity that in today's Aikawa City, there is still a mad dog named Ishiizaki Man hiding in the darkness."
A strong premonition made Rosetta clearly feel that it was already too late when she 'entered the scene'. The Divine Foot Society's research plan on 'Corpse Dogs' or 'New Humans' had reached a stage where it was about to end.
As for the corpse dog that was hunted by him in the old city tonight, it was just a failed product that was abandoned in the plan.
Carefully recall the scene where I first came into contact with Ishiizaki.
Rosetta vaguely felt that perhaps the murderous writer named "Masao Tsukiyama" in the No. 3 Prison in Aikawa City was the key to solving all this.
He gave himself a book of poems at random, and the short-term memory in it helped him unexpectedly obtain important information.
If I could get in touch with him again...
Thinking of this, Rosetta silently shook her head again.
Not to mention that Ishiizaki probably went to the prison just to talk to this guy or something. Moreover, even assuming that the other party was willing to tell him something, judging from the current situation, he had to first find a way to find Masao Tsukiyama again before he could talk to him.
.
Same as developing psychic powers.
Neither of these two things can be accomplished overnight and will take a lot of time.
And as long as Ishiizakito, a mad dog, frees his hands, he may find his present at any time. In a short period of time, there are only two things Rosetta can do.
First, use the trophy "Mangliu Fang" obtained from Toru Watanabe to first improve your own strength and make up for your shortcomings in physical fitness.
The second is to start investigating the local company ‘Razor Clam Pharmaceuticals’ that was acquired by the God Football Association, and trace the origin of the birth of the corpse dogs in the old city.
Rosetta is not the kind of mother-in-law.
Once he has decided what to do, he will do it decisively. Even if he has to pay a price and take risks, he will never hesitate for a moment.
Being cautious is an advantage, but it doesn't suit him now.
With just a little suspicion, a corpse dog can be called in to kill someone. From this, it can be seen that Ishiizaki is a mad dog who ignores any rules.
Although she didn't take the initiative to reveal any information when they first met, facing such a guy, Rosetta did not dare and could not give him the opportunity to take the lead.
"Before he finds me, first..."
In the silent sound of rain, Rosetta exhaled hot breath, but in those iron-gray eyes, there was cold murderous intent.
Rubbing the 'Mangliu Fang' in his pocket, he knew that this was the only way for him to rapidly improve his physical fitness in a short period of time. Now he had already started to learn the swordsmanship of Liqu Yinhu style by relying on the same tone. If he could continue
If you want to find a way to develop a controlled knife that can exert lethality.
Then, compared to today, when I had to deal with a "head dog" with great reluctance, I would at least be able to form a certain combat effectiveness, providing a higher success rate for the subsequent investigation of razor clam pharmaceuticals.
But before that, he still had one thing to do.
That is
--rest.
Feeling the feeling of exhaustion spreading throughout her body, Rosetta gritted her teeth and went to the bathroom to take a bath for herself. After that, he no longer wanted to think about any more things.
This remaining need for rest made him feel that he still had some humanity left in him.
The moment she closed her eyes, Rosetta felt extremely happy.
-
-
the next day.
Or a few hours later relative to Rosetta.
In the apartment, a single man was already yawning and making breakfast. He took a knife and scraped off a layer of pale powder from the 'Tangliu Fang' and poured it into a cup of hot soy milk.
.
Although I have lived in Yingzhou for several years.
But as a Dashun native, he was still not completely accustomed to the food here.
So most of the time, Rosetta either went out to find a place to eat, or just cooked at home. Therefore, without knowing it, he developed a pretty good cooking skill.
hard to imagine.
This kind of pyrotechnic thing,
It actually ties in with Rosetta, who always has a lack of expression on her face.
And Arakawa Reiko, who had been rushing here since early morning, had exactly what she thought. At the door, she looked at Rosetta, who was still wearing an apron, and the pile of breakfast prepared on the dining table behind him. For a moment,
I had no idea that this guy had such a side.
"...Let's talk after we come in first."
Opening the door, Rosetta's expression seemed a little helpless.
He never imagined that someone would come to his door so early in the morning, and it was Reiko Arakawa who came.
Walking in front, he turned his head and glanced at Reiko Arakawa, who was newly dressed today, and said: "I'll tell you in advance that I'll prepare a portion for the second person before I have anything to do. If you haven't eaten yet, you'll have to wait for me."
I’ll make another one for you when I have time. Of course, there are actually a few good restaurants near this apartment. You can first..."
"Masao Tsukiyama is dead."
She sighed suddenly.
"What did you say?"
Hearing the news suddenly, Rosetta didn't react for a while. It wasn't until he stopped, pulled out a chair and sat down that he turned around and asked: "Masao Tsukiyama is dead? Is it true or not, Arakawa-senpai?"
Where did you get the news?"
"Well, it should be true."
Arakawa Reiko nodded and sat down. The expression on her face clearly didn't look like she was joking.
"About last night, I got news from my friends at the police station. It is said that the batch of corpses that were cleared out from the No. 3 Prison were examined by the forensic doctor and part of them belonged to Masao Tsukiyama.
"
"Many people in the police station know this news. The foundation founded by Tsukiyama should also be the same with the top management of our TV station. Unsurprisingly, because of this incident, the filming plan of the program will also be greatly affected.
Big impact.”
Although I had previously expected that after what was negotiated with Ishiizaki, Tsukiyama Masao would inevitably 'disappear' from everyone's sight.
But Rosetta never imagined that he would actually 'die'.
Regardless of whether he is really dead or fake, as long as this news spreads, it will inevitably weaken his social influence, and the things he had planned before will also be affected with his own death.
——What conditions did Ishiizakito offer him?
In silence, Rosetta frowned and said, "In other words, the start of the filming of the TV station's program will have to be postponed for a while?"
"If nothing else happens, it should look like this. After all, the funder himself is dead, but the specific situation will have to wait until later and be discussed at a meeting to determine the outcome."
Having said this, Reiko Arakawa smiled helplessly: "Congratulations, it seems that Mr. Luo, your leisure time will be extended for a while, and I can also be a salary thief for a few more days."
"But I guess you came here specifically to inform me of more than just this news." Rosetta said calmly.
"Ah, I really didn't hide it from you."
Arakawa Reiko rubbed her brows tiredly and sighed: "In addition to the news that our big benefactor is dead, I also heard a rumor from a friend in the police station last night that I don't know whether it is true or not."
"It is said that not long after we left the old city, an extremely serious serial murder case was discovered there. Whether it was a high school girl, a housewife, a lonely old man, or even a family of three who were found dead in an apartment.
Regardless of the identity of the deceased, none of them was spared."
"I heard from my friend that after what he did, the murderer even took the initiative to film the scene of his murder and sent it to the police station for provocation. His cruelty even made many veteran policemen in the Yichuan City Police Station,
They all had nightmares that night, dreaming that someone quietly took out their hearts from behind."
"Because it is absolutely impossible to hide this matter, last night and today, almost all the police forces in Yichuan City were quickly mobilized. It seemed that they were bound to find the traces of this murderer in a short time.
