black lizard 江户川乱步 2286Words 2018-03-15
What kind of rhetoric did Junichi Amamiya use to convince the angry young man in the cage?After a while, he picked up the limp naked girl and walked to the front of the large glass tank, then climbed up the ladder beside it, stood on the top, lifted the iron cover, threw the girl into the water; then closed the tank cover, and climbed down the ladder.Then, he went to the black lizard room, pushed open a crack in the door, and reported to the leader: "Ma'am, I have dealt with it according to your instructions. Ms. Sanae is struggling in the sink, please go over and watch it as soon as possible." Then, he took out a small folded newspaper from the pocket of his work uniform, unfolded it, and He laid it on the chair next to the sink with vigor, and hurried to the corridor.

As soon as Yugong Jun left, the door opened, and the woman in black came out, striding towards the sink. The blackish blue water was shaking violently opposite the glass plate, and the seaweed in various poses at the bottom of the tank looked like countless snake heads held up high, twisting their waists and limbs, swinging left and right, and the naked woman inside was writhing in pain... the day before The scene described by the woman in black at night became a reality exactly. There was a murderous light in the eyes of the woman in black, her pale cheeks trembled with excitement, she clenched her fists and stared stiffly at the sink.Suddenly, she noticed something different, why didn't the naked girl in the water resist fiercely?Not to mention intense, she wasn't struggling at all.The girl's fair body just swayed with the waves.

Could it be that the timid Sanae passed out before being thrown into the sink, so she could avoid the pain in the water?However, the situation does not seem to be so simple.She was patient, and finally, the girl in the water turned around slowly, and the face that was originally turned away turned to the front glass.Hey, is this Sanae?No, no, even in the water, it is impossible for her appearance to undergo a huge change.Ah, I see, she wasn't Sanae at all.Isn't this the Japanese girl specimen decorated in the doll display?However, how could such a mistake occur? "Come on, is anyone there? Where's Ah Run?" The woman in black yelled desperately.

So, a group of subordinates rushed from the puppet showroom in a noisy manner.The situation over there didn't seem right either, because the people who came looked terrified. "Ma'am, a strange thing happened again. One of the dolls was missing. Not long ago, it was still there when I undressed the specimen and took off the jewelry. When I turned around and looked back, there was only the girl lying on the ground, and the other doll The specimen of the girl disappeared without a trace." One of them reported in a panic, and by now, the woman in black had already vaguely guessed something.

"Did you check the cage? Is Sanae-san still there?" "No, I only saw that man. Didn't Ah Run throw her into the sink?" "Oh, but it wasn't Sanae who threw it down. Look, that's the specimen you were looking for." Everyone looked at the sink, and it turned out to be the missing girl's specimen floating in the water. "Hey, that's strange, who did it?" "Of course it's Ah Run. Didn't you see him? He was still here just now." "No. He is very irritable today, very angry. It seems that we are all in the way, calling to go there, and calling here again, driving us around."

"Oh, that's strange. But where has he been? He won't go out, so you'll have to find out. When you see him, tell him to come to me right away." After a group of subordinates left, the woman in black was very upset, her eyes stared straight at the void, and she began to think quickly. what the hell is it?The whereabouts of the cook of the steamboat is unknown, the specimen occasionally appears strange, and the girl who is supposed to be Sanae turns into a specimen.There shouldn't be some kind of connection between these strange mutations, right?Is it just a coincidence?

I always feel that there is a surreal and terrible force operating behind the scenes. What is it?Ah, could it be... No, no, how could such a ridiculous thing happen, absolutely impossible. The woman in black tried her best to suppress the great fear that kept welling up in her heart.Even the vicious female thief couldn't bear the terrifying uneasiness, and she was covered in cold sweat. After a while, when she was about to sit on a nearby chair, she caught a glimpse of a newspaper on it.That was the newspaper that Amemiya Junichi specially placed just now. The woman in black browsed casually, and was quickly attracted by one of the reports, her expression suddenly became serious.

The three-segment eye-catching headline came into view, and the female thief was instantly confused, unable to understand the meaning of it.She hastily picked up the newspaper and sat down to read it intently.The content of the report is roughly as follows: The report was followed by a photo titled "Father and Daughter Reunited," showing Sanae and Shohei smiling, sitting on chairs in the living room. After reading this report, which was like a fantasy, the female thief couldn't believe it.But as evidenced by the photos, a look of embarrassment finally appeared on the glamorous face of the female thief.More accurately, it should be an indescribable fear.This is the newspaper with the largest circulation in the Osaka area, and the date is yesterday, and the "Yesterday 21st" in the report happened to be the day before yesterday when Black Lizard's steamboat sailed through Osaka Bay.Sanae was indeed on the boat that day, no, not just that day, yesterday, today and even until just now, wasn't Sanae trembling naked in the cage?

What happened?Such headlines cannot be wrong.No, that photo is the best proof.Sanae, who was supposed to be imprisoned in the boat, was smiling and sitting at Iwase's house on the outskirts of Osaka on the same day. How could there be such a weird thing in the world? Even the clever woman in black couldn't figure out the mystery.For the first time in her life, she was overwhelmed by unknown terror, her face was as pale as a dead person, and beads of sweat kept beading from her forehead. Suddenly, the unusual word "departing soul disease" popped into her brain.The word comes from an incredible legend that after a person splits into two people, their actions have nothing to do with each other.She had read about it in old storybooks and foreign psychic magazines.Although she doesn't believe in supernatural phenomena, she can't find any other reasonable explanation besides accepting this beyond common sense.

At this time, the subordinates who were separately looking for Yugong came back noisily, but returned in vain. "Who is guarding the door right now?" the woman in black asked angrily. "It's Beicun. He said no one came in and out, so that guy can't be wrong." "If that's the case, Ah Run must still be here. It's impossible for the world to evaporate, so I will look for it carefully. There is also Sanae. If it is not Sanae in the sink, then the girl should be hiding." Everyone looked at the pale leader suspiciously, and reluctantly turned back to the other end of the corridor.

"Ah, wait a minute. Leave two people behind and fish out the doll from the sink. Just to be on the safe side, I want to check it myself." Then, two subordinates climbed up the ladder, fished out the specimen doll from the water, and laid it flat on the ground.Needless to say, it is impossible for the weak doll to be Sanae, let alone the clues, which cannot be found at all. The woman in black paced back and forth restlessly, and couldn't resist picking up the newspaper when she sat down.But, no matter how many times I read that report, the truth is that there are two of Sanae.The one in the photo is indeed Sanae. "Ma'am." Just when she was in a daze, a call came from behind her. The woman in black turned her head in surprise, and there was a man standing behind her. "Oh, Run, where did you go?" She couldn't help scolding, "Also, how do you explain this? You were ordered to throw Sanae into the sink, but you changed it into a specimen. There should be a limit to pranks." However, Yu Gong still stood silently, not saying a word.He smiled as if he was keeping a secret, and stared intently at the woman in black.
