Chapter 176: Feeling Fearful of Their Growing Strangeness
Chapter 176 "Feeling afraid of them as they become more and more unfamiliar"
Sheila could not help but secretly gasp.
You also call this "not knowing much"? If you know a lot, what does it look like?
You know the details of the elders of Meteor Street, the process of garbage sorting, the monthly population transfer in exchange for weapons, etc., you know everything clearly?
Germain looked at her, as if to indicate that he had said everything he knew, and now it was her turn to continue.
Sheila was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Indeed... That's right, that's right."
At this time, she remembered some fragments of memories, her eyes dimmed, and then she spent several minutes telling the story of Sarasa's murder.
These have been briefly mentioned before, so I won't repeat them here.
However, everyone knows that the focus is on Sheila's subsequent words.
"Sarasa, Paknoda and I were best friends when we were little. We really shouldn't have let Sarasa go back alone that day. We've always regretted it."
"We knew that a large number of women and children had been abducted near Meteor Street since we could remember, but we still let our guard down that day."
"Although I also know that even if I was there, I couldn't change the outcome, but at least I could die with Sarasa, so that she wouldn't be so scared and desperate at the last moment of her life..."
As Sheila spoke, she trembled all over.
Xiaodi hugged Sheila's shoulders comfortingly, but she was really not good at this, and finally just mechanically touched Sheila's hair.
Sheila smiled bleakly and whispered "thank you".
"How should I put it... Over the years, I have never given up investigating Sarasa's death. Even I hope that group of villains will receive the most cruel retribution."
"But the investigation has been fruitless. At the same time, I know that the "Phantom Troupe" has never given up investigating this matter, and their focus is on the outsiders who entered and exited Meteor Street that year."
"As mentioned before, Meteor Street has reached a cooperation with the gangs and will regularly transport people to the gangs."
"But the gangs and some groups will still enter Meteor Street privately for "selection". Sarasa may have died in this kind of "selection."
"I guess the "Phantom Troupe" believes that as long as they find a list of a group of people and some groups who liked to act privately that year, they can find the real murderer from it."
"At the same time, they also set up a dark website dedicated to uploading and downloading anti-human videos such as bloody massacres and perverted torture to attract the real murderer. "
"However, in this case, they need the help of the gangs, and they also need to make the website famous, so about three or four years ago..."
When Shira said this, she looked at Kurapika, and the unfinished words were self-evident.
Kurapika sat on the stone, silent.
But his clenched fists still expressed his anger, but under the teachings of Mr. Germain, he became more aware of how to control himself.
Shira pursed her lips and decided to continue talking despite the possibility of Kurapika's outburst.
"The flaming eyes of the Kuruta tribe were given as gifts by the "Phantom Troupe" to the gangs and some groups in exchange for information and to make the website famous. "
"As for the result, they should not have been able to obtain direct clues pointing to the real culprit, but only some indirect information. "
"Because as long as they find the group of murderers, they will definitely tell me, even if we have different ideas. The same reason, I will tell them. "
"Back then, I didn't ask them what they had investigated, but I still learned about their main investigation direction not long ago..."
"Xiao Di, haven't you always been curious about why I suddenly left Meteor Street a few months ago?"
"Xiao Di blinked her big eyes: "Didn't you say you were afraid that the "Phantom Troupe" would find out about your connection with us?"
"Well..." Sheila nodded awkwardly, "I am indeed very afraid. Because the details of the cases they have done have been heard from time to time. "
"I find that I know less and less about them, and I'm not even sure if they will do something similar to me. They fell into the same depravity as the people who killed Sarasa a few years ago. "
"But the most important thing is that the "Phantom Troupe" returned to Meteor Street at that time, and I suddenly met Paknotta without knowing it. "
"I have said before that Sarasa, Paknotta and I had a good relationship when we were young. Therefore, after she saw me, she took the initiative to chat with me and revealed some details of their investigation. ”
“After the conversation, I returned to my residence alone and found myself sweating profusely without realizing it. ”
“Because I know Paknota's "psychic ability", at that time, as long as she touched me and mentioned the names of Germain and Xiaodi, I would involuntarily reveal everything. ”
“After I realized this, I couldn't stay in Meteor Street anymore, because I didn't know when Paknota and the others would suddenly come to my door, so I ran away immediately. ”
Sheila recalled this, her voice trembling.
In fact, she knew that even if the connection was exposed, the "Phantom Troupe" would probably not hurt her.
However, she had seen the scene of the Kuruta massacre, vomited that day, and ran like a headless fly in the woods because of panic, so she didn't dare to gamble.
That scene was not much different from what happened to Sarasa.
A voice in Shira's heart was asking, what if, what if they could really be so cruel as to ignore their childhood friendship?
She recalled this and took a long time to calm down her rapid breathing, but her face was still a little pale.
"Anyway, I learned from Paknoda who they gave the "Red Eyes" to. Kurapika...you...do you want to hear it?"
Kurapika glanced at her and nodded unusually calmly: "Go ahead, tell me. "
Shira was a little surprised at Kurapika's calmness, but still told it truthfully.
Kurapika listened to those names and identities, compared them with the list handed over by Xiyou, and picked out the group of people he didn't know yet.
"Artists, politicians, leaders, capitalists, corporate employees, fraudsters, doctors..."
Kurapika muttered to himself, adding quite a few names to the list in his mind.
This group of people are either secretly middle and senior members of the gang, or middle and senior members of a certain organization or group. In short, they all have a certain social status.
Of course, the "Fire Red Eyes" have been in their hands for several years, and it is not ruled out that they may be circulated, such as through the Youkexin underground auction.
However, it is hard to imagine that people with such a perverted hobby of collecting "human eyeballs" would be willing to take the initiative to trade them unless they encounter extremely special and difficult circumstances.
So, the "Fire Red Eyes" are likely to still be in the hands of most of this group of people, and only a small part has gone to other people.
Paknoda is an expert in "reading memories". In this regard, as long as she doesn't deliberately deceive Shira, she will never make mistakes.
As long as we find them, we can get back the eyes of our tribe.
