Chapter 196 Hello, I Am Yue Yagami From the Kyoto Investigation Section.

Lin Ge and Chen Qing used some "little tricks" to successfully find out the address where Reiko Asakawa once worked from the city hall.

Arriving at the Yokohama News Building, the two of them just entered the elevator when a short-haired woman in a black coat also entered the elevator.

As soon as the woman entered the elevator, Lin Ge smelled a pungent resentment, and immediately realized that this was Sadako's resentment.

Sadako's resentment is much stronger than Kayako's "curse", and it is more pungent to those who practice Taoism. Therefore, even if the woman in front of her is not entangled by Sadako's curse, just through indirect contact, she Can produce this pungent smell.

Short hair, shirt, black trench coat...could it be the other heroine of "The Ring", the "classic disobedient" heroine Mai Takano?

The plot of "Midnight Bell 1" can be summarized in one sentence: the heroine Reiko Asakawa heard about the "cursed videotape" incident at Seiki Girls Academy and launched an investigation into it. After getting the videotape, she called her ex-husband to watch it together ( Investigation), and then the whole family was targeted by Sadako.

In the first movie, Takano Mai is the student of Asakawa Reiko's ex-husband and the person who "secretly loves" her ex-husband's brother.

After her ex-husband was tricked and killed by Reiko Asakawa, Mai Takano came to the news agency to look for Reiko Asakawa in order to investigate the cause of her death.

However, she was doomed to miss this time, because according to the plot, at this time, Reiko Asakawa was spreading the copied video tape everywhere in order to save her son who had seen the tape.

Lin Ge glanced at Gao Yewu, but he didn't expect that the plot of the "Midnight Ring" crew had just entered the beginning of the second part.

The plot of "The Grudge" this time is more "open world" and does not have a specific storyline. As long as the reincarnator meets the basic requirement of 6 hours a day, they can explore the world at will.

Therefore, Lin Ge originally thought that "Midnight Ring" would be similar. Unexpectedly, Sadako came out to have a close communication with him, but the plot had just reached the beginning of the second part.

"What is Sadako's purpose in the second part? To have her bones taken out of the well and then spread the curse?"

Lin Ge tried to recall the plot in the movie. At this time, the elevator reached the floor of the News Department. As soon as the elevator door opened, Chen Qing was standing behind Gao Yewu. She thought that the other party would go out when she opened the door. Who knew that the other party was standing at the door? like a statue.

Lin Singer turned over, and a soul-chasing talisman appeared in his palm. He kneaded the talisman with one hand, and lightly patted Gao Yewu on the shoulder with the other hand.

"Miss, please give me permission, thank you." Lin Ge said politely.

As he spoke, the soul-chasing talisman in his palm turned directly into a golden light and blended into Takano Mai's clothes.

"Ah, oh, sorry."

Gao Yewu immediately stepped aside. At this time, she glanced at the floor and realized that she had arrived. She hurriedly walked towards the door. As she walked, she directly bumped into Chen Qing.

"Ouch." Chen Qing originally thought that Gao Yewu had moved out of the way, but who knew that the other party was about to leave again, and they suddenly collided with each other.

"Sorry sorry."

Takano Mai nodded and bowed in apology while exiting the elevator.

"Forget it. It's nothing."

"Sorry, sorry."

After Mai Takano apologized, she walked towards the news agency.

Chen Qing rubbed her arms, looked at Gao Yewu's back, and couldn't help but said: "Why is this woman so distracted? Brother, she seems to have gone to the news agency. Oh, by the way, I just saw you pat her on the back. Got a talisman?"

"That is the soul-chasing talisman that locks her location. This woman's name is Takano Mai, and she is the heroine of "Midnight Ring 2"."

"Ah? She is the heroine?" Chen Qing said in surprise.

Lin Ge nodded: "In the first movie, her teacher died on the cursed video tape, and she was also indirectly exposed to Sadako's curse at that time. Although like the heroines of other horror movies, she has some classic disobedience. ', but he is always the key figure in promoting the plot."

"Oh, do we want to follow?" Chen Qing asked.

Lin Ge nodded and walked into the news agency.

As soon as she entered the door, she found Takano Mai standing not far from the door, seemingly distracted, and right in front, two men were sitting in front of an old TV watching an interview video.

In the picture, a female reporter is interviewing several girls in Shengqi Academy costumes: "Isn't there a box of 'cursed video tapes'? Recently, everyone has been rumoring that you will encounter misfortune after watching that video tape. Do you know what the video tape is? ?"

A very beautiful girl, with a smile on her lips, did not seem to take the curse to heart. She smiled and said to the female reporter: "I heard that a terrifying woman will appear, and then point at you and say, you will definitely die in seven days." .”

"A scary woman?" the female reporter asked.

The girl said: "I haven't seen it either, but my classmates said it's really scary."

…

The older man in front of the TV saw this scene and said to the man next to him: "Okazaki, don't you think this rumor is a bit suspicious?"

"Why?"

The middle-aged man shouted with a slightly exaggerated expression: "You will be saved if you show it to others within a week. What does this mean?"

"Yes. We also need to interview rumors about this." Okazaki responded calmly.

The middle-aged man asked again: "Have you contacted Asakawa?"

"not yet."

"The police also called." The middle-aged man added: "I answered the call. They asked a lot of strange questions. Before you, Asakawa was responsible for the news about the cursed video tape. Do you think... could it be true? Something went wrong?"

Hearing this, Okazaki's expression was a little subtle. After all, in his eyes, these news were ultimately fabricated stories.

But after Reiko Asakawa disappeared, the president asked him to be responsible for continuing to follow her, but he didn't have the ability to refuse.

Lin Ge and Chen Qing stood behind Gao Yewu. At this time, Gao Yewu seemed to have made up her mind and walked straight towards the two Okazakis closest to her.

"Is Miss Reiko Asakawa here?"

"She's not here. What do you want from her?" Okazaki asked.

At this time, Takano Mai's eyes noticed the interview on the TV. When she heard what the girl was saying about the "cursed video tape", her expression became a little panicked, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and she wanted to run away in despair.

As a reporter, Okazaki has his own unique experience in capturing information. As soon as he saw Takano Mai's reaction to seeing the video, he knew that she must know something and hurriedly chased after her.

"Do you know about Asakawa? We have been unable to contact her." Okazaki tried to find a breakthrough.

Takano Mai stopped and faced Okazaki. She was silent for a long time, and finally said something incomprehensible: "A man named Takayama Ryuji died."

"Gaoshan?" Okazaki recalled it in his mind and found that he didn't seem to recognize this person.

Takano Mai added: "Takayama Ryuji is Miss Asakawa's ex-husband and my teacher. Some time ago, the teacher received a call and Miss Asakawa told him about the 'cursed video tape', but after studying the video tape, he died .”

"Dead? How did he die?" Okazaki asked.

Before Takano Mai could answer, a voice rang out from the side. Lin Ge stepped forward and said, "Let me explain. Hello, Mr. Okazaki. I am Yue Yagami from the Kyoto Investigation Division. I came to the Information Department before. I called and asked about Miss Reiko Asakawa."

With Lin Ge's observation skills, he naturally noticed the reactions and conversations between Okazaki and his colleagues when they were watching the video when they came in, and thus captured the key information.

The "police" had previously contacted the news agency regarding Reiko Asakawa's issue.

So, he thought of using this as a breakthrough, hooking up with Okazaki and Takano Mai, follow the plot to find Reiko Asakawa, and obtain the master tape of the "cursed video tape".

As for "exposing"... This is not a criminal investigation drama. How could anyone really dare to say "Where is your ID" when the criminal police shows his identity.

What's more, if the other party really wants to see the ID, Lin Ge has many ways to deal with it.

"You know?" Okazaki asked.

As Lin Ge expected, when he said "Let him explain", Okazaki and Takano Mai's focus shifted from "whether he is really a detective" to "what he knows".

Lin Ge nodded. He excerpted a part of the plot of "Midnight Bell 1" and revised it, focusing on "the information that Asakawa Reiko asked Okazaki to find in order to investigate Shengqi Academy" and "Takano Mai's relationship with Takayama Ryuji's 'worship'" easily gained the trust of the two.

"So, as long as we find the 'master tape' of the cursed video tape, we can find out the cause of Mr. Takayama's death?" Okazaki heard this, although his face became a little serious, but you could see a hint of it in his eyes. Excited, in his opinion, although this news is dangerous, if he can reveal the truth, it will be big news!

Lin Ge said: "That's right, so Kyoto has set up a special investigation section to investigate the issue of the 'cursed video tape'. So, Mr. Okazaki, when was the last time Miss Asakawa appeared in the news agency? What did she leave behind? Important message?"

Okazaki thought for a while and shook his head: "No. If Asakawa really left a message about the cursed video tape, I don't need to start from Shengqi Academy."

Lin Ge asked: "Did you investigate anything at Shengqi Academy?"

"Most people there have heard about the 'curse tape,' but not many people have actually seen it. A few have seen it, but I was on sick leave when I went there and was not at school," Okazaki said.

Takano Mai's face became a little ugly, and she asked: "Is it possible that those students who asked for leave actually had the same accident as my teacher?"

"This..." Okazaki didn't know how to answer for a while.

When Okazaki was thinking about how to extract more news from the Yagami Light Operator from the Kyoto Investigation Division, there was a sudden "pop" and all the lights in the office area went out!

Someone shouted: "What's going on? Has the circuit breaker tripped? Can anyone check if the power is out just here, or if the whole building is out?"

"President, it seems that the entire building has a power outage."

"Then open the curtains. It's not summer, why should you draw the curtains?"

"President, we didn't draw the curtains, it's... it's dark outside."

As this man's voice sounded, many people subconsciously looked out the window, and sure enough they saw that the sky outside was pitch black, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.

"Hurry up and call the maintenance department!" the president shouted standing outside the office.

At this moment, a cold female voice suddenly came from the crowd: "I died so miserably... Someone, come and help me."

"ah!"

"ah--"

The cold voice made people's hair stand on end, and the female staff in the office area suddenly screamed in fright. Chen Qing subconsciously held the jade pendant on her chest and squeezed behind Lin Ge.

"Hahaha." At this time, a female voice chuckled and asked in a calm voice: "Does it look like what I just acted?"

Snapped.

There was a soft sound, and the lights in the office area turned on.

A long-haired woman wearing a white formal dress stood in the middle of the office area, laughing so hard she laughed: "Hahaha, just now, just now, were you all scared?"

The young woman next to her said angrily: "Sister Baishi, can you please stop making jokes like this in the future? It will scare people to death?"

"Okay, okay, I know you are timid." Shiraishi smiled.

Snapped.

At this time, the lights in the office area went out again.

"Oh, come again?"

"Is this voltage instability?"

"Did you call the maintenance guy?"

"Sister Baishi, don't scare me this time!"

Listening to the conversations of the staff around her, Chen Qing felt inexplicably panicked. Although her "danger perception" had been on alert since she entered the world of reincarnation, at this time, even if she was close to Lin Ge, the alert was getting stronger. Serious, obviously something is abnormal.

Chen Qing quickly pulled Lin Ge's sleeve and told him the strange situation.

Lin Ge actually noticed something was wrong when the lights went out for the first time. He even opened his eyes in the dark and looked around, but found no trace of the ghost.

"Hee hee hee."

Suddenly, there was a burst of lively and cute laughter from a little girl in the office area, but strangely, the laughter gradually became sharp, like the sound of someone strangling her neck.

"Hee hee hee."

"Come to play a game?"

The cold voice appeared again. If it weren't for the fact that this voice seemed more lively and more like a "human" voice, Lin Ge would have thought it was a little girl who was causing trouble in the dark.

Lin Ge originally wanted to continue "acting" as an investigator, but the strange environment at this time obviously did not allow him to continue role-playing.

If you go overboard and some unknown ghost steals your home, there's really no place to talk about it.

With this in mind, Lin Ge took out a burning talisman, kneaded the talisman and used the "Soul Control and Chasing Soul" technique, and threw it towards the door of the office area.

"call--"

The burning talisman shot out a ball of flame, but it only went out in the blink of an eye.

"Who sets off fireworks in the office?"

"Are you going to die? What if it causes a fire?"

"Even if no one is hurt, what if the files are burned!"

"Who? Who is it?"

In the dim office, the president's accusation sounded.

Click, click.

There was a sound like a mirror breaking.

"Brother, did you hear anything?" Chen Qing stood behind Lin Ge and asked quietly.

Lin Ge frowned. This feeling seemed familiar to him. To be precise, he and Chen Qing had just experienced this feeling not long ago...

The little girl's "ghost realm" is a ghost space that is one level higher than the evil ghost space.

Coconut?

Sadako?

But these two big guys were sent away just a few hours ago, and they probably won't come back so soon, so is this another branch line?

Lin Ge was wondering when he suddenly heard the laughter of children again around the office.

Lin Ge immediately realized something was wrong, and immediately protected Chen Qing and retreated to the corner. Gao Yewu's setting in the movie is that she has certain "psionic powers", that is, the ability to sense ghosts and predict, so besides Lin Ge and Besides Chen Qing, he was the third person who noticed something was wrong in the office area.

At this time, water ripples appeared in the air, and the entire office area seemed to be torn, twisted, and overlapped with another space!

Unlike the little girl's "ghost realm" where the blood mist was generated, the office area at this time seemed to be dragged into a world full of mirrors.

Zi.

Zizzi.

In the originally dark office area, the extinguished lights flickered, and combined with the child's laughter, the office area became even more terrifying.

"Something's wrong." Lin Ge took a step forward, but he had the illusion that he was going down the stairs. He suddenly felt that the ghost world here seemed like a complicated world.

This mirror world seemed to exist layer by layer, causing Lin Ge to take a step forward before he had the illusion of going down the stairs.

"Take it." Lin Ge handed the black umbrella to Chen Qing and asked her to hold it. Being trapped in the ghost realm, he was not sure that he could always protect Chen Qing. It would be safer to have a black umbrella to protect her.

Because the situation in the office area was too depressing and terrifying at this time, many staff members couldn't stand the depressing feeling and wanted to escape from the office area.

A female staff member thought that it was still broad daylight and she would be safe as long as she escaped to the street, so she screamed and rushed towards the corridor.

"Don't go!" Gao Yewu wanted to rush up and pull the woman back, but as soon as he grabbed the woman's arm, the air around him trembled. When he looked back, the office area was empty, and there was not a single person.

The woman was also shocked: "Why, how could this happen!"

Takano Mai's face became very ugly, and her psychic sense sensed that it was very dangerous now.

"What, what should I do!" The woman panicked.

Takano Mai was thinking about how to get out of the predicament when she heard a child's voice behind her: "Want to come and play a game?"

However, as soon as this sound sounded, it immediately began to reverberate throughout the entire office area, making people's eardrums hurt.

"Come to play games?" Gao Yewu felt that her eardrums were about to be burst. She didn't dare to stay in the office area any longer, so she picked up the female staff member and ran towards the corridor.

The two of them fled all the way to the elevator. The lights in the corridor flickered, and a red figure flashed past in the dim corridor.

"ah!"

The female staff member suddenly screamed, pointing to the mirrored porcelain wall in the elevator that reflected her appearance, and said, "You, you, look!"

On the mirrored porcelain wall, characters in blood gradually appeared——

"Come to play a game?"

clatter.

clatter.

clatter.

As the words in blood appeared on the wall, the soft sound of high heels on the ground came from the dark corridor in the distance.

The oppressive atmosphere made it difficult for both of them to breathe smoothly, as if a pair of invisible hands in the air were squeezing their throats.

The two of them saw their own mirror images reflected in the metal elevator door. What was horrifying was that the mirror image was facing them with a charming smile!

The two "people" seemed to be saying with their mouths: "The game has begun..."

Beep!

At this time.

The elevator door slowly opened.

"Ah! Ah! Help! Help! Someone help me!" The female staff member screamed and fled into the elevator, frantically pressing the elevator button on the first floor.

When Gao Yewu turned around, she saw the red figure flickering in and out of the dark corridor. When the elevator door closed, she hurriedly escaped into the elevator.

However, after entering the elevator, Mai Takano realized that she was the only one in the empty elevator. The dim lights in the elevator flashed from time to time, making it look extremely eerie!

Takano Mai subconsciously leaned against the elevator wall and looked at the indicator light next to the door...the light on the 18th floor was on.

18th floor?

She clearly remembered that the office area was on the 19th floor.

At this moment, the indicator light on the first floor came on.

Takano Mai quickly rushed to the door and tried to press the door button, but the elevator door slowly started to rise upwards.

Watching the elevator go up one level at a time, Gao Yewu felt an ominous feeling in her heart. She felt that something terrible was about to happen!

At this time, bloody numbers appeared on the elevator door——

3.

2.

1.

Beep.

The elevator reached the first floor, the door slowly opened, and it was dark outside.

"you lose."

A cold voice sounded beside Gao Yewu.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of clammy and pale little hands stretched out from the elevator wall, hugged Takano Mai tightly and fixed her in the corner.

Only then did Takano Mai see, at some point, a person exactly like her was standing in the corner on the other side of the elevator!

The man walked out of the elevator with a sly smile on his face, and stood at the door waving his pale hands to Gao Yewu, as if saying goodbye to her.

"No!"

Gao Yewu tried her best to break free from the arms that restrained her, but no matter how hard she tried, the four hands still held her motionless.

laugh.

The moment the elevator door closed, the arms restraining Takano Wu also disappeared. Under the inertia, she bumped into the elevator door.

But at this time, the elevator started again and suddenly rose rapidly, and the numbers on the indicator light also increased rapidly!

10——

15——

20——

Gao Yewu rushed to the elevator door and tried to open the elevator door to escape. In a daze, she saw the image of the female staff member reflected on the elevator door.

She seemed to be in another elevator, crying, roaring, and slapping the slowly closing elevator door!

Outside the elevator, an identical person was looking at her with a sly smile!

25——

30!

The elevator rushed to the top floor, hit violently, and then fell rapidly!

"boom!"

There was a loud noise and the elevator crashed into the elevator shaft!

Takano Mai was thrown into the elevator and was crushed into a puddle of flesh!

…
