Chapter 1723: Chapter 1157: The Other Side_2
At this mont, the cigarette in Teng Chuan editor’s hand was also finished, and he casually took another one.
“Actually, I can understand sister-in-law. After all, my brother is that kind of person. If he continues like this, let alone having eight hundred million, even eighty billion wouldn’t be enough for him to spend. By contrast, decisively getting a divorce, splitting the assets, and then living a wealthy and peaceful life with Yuna is a reasonable choice that adults can accept. But unfortunately, Yuna seems unable to understand… I still rember that day, the always lively Yuna found like a walking corpse, with no vitality in her eyes. She seed unable to understand why, despite having money, her parents still decided to divorce. Although I tried to comfort her, that child… she didn’t seem to take in my words at all, and then she left… That was the last ti I saw her.”
While speaking, Teng Chuan editor stretched out his hand and viciously crushed the unfinished cigarette into the ashtray.
“After that, Yuna disappeared, and about a week later, we found the child’s body in an abandoned apartnt. According to the police, there were no signs of a struggle at the scene, and it was concluded that she died of physical weakness after running away from ho.”
“If that’s all, it wouldn’t have anything to do with Magic Girls or witches.”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned; at least this story sounded more suited for a social legal program report, rather than so supernatural weekly.
“Of course, that’s initially what I thought too, but I couldn’t accept it! That child… Yuna might be shocked because of her parents’ divorce, but she’s definitely not the kind to seek death because of it! She’s still very young, she still has a lot of ti! So I found the coroner, trying to ask for the truth, and then I got an answer that was beyond my expectation.”
“Oh?”
“The coroner told that cases like Yuna’s were not singular in this city! No, not just in this city, in fact, similar cases occurred in many places! Young girls suddenly disappeared, and their bodies were found, but these bodies showed no signs of violence or abuse, nor did they have any traces of drugs or alcohol, everything seed normal, but they just died! Just like the police reported, they died of weakness! The coroner once considered dically whether this was so kind of condition-restricted infectious disease, but at least so far, apart from the fact that the deceased were all young girls, they had nothing in common, and through dical autopsy, no traces of disease were found.”
“I see… but you still haven’t told …”
Duanmu Huai reached out and pointed to the magazine.
“What does this have to do with your investigation of that factory’s witch’s curse?”
“Because that child was Yuna’s friend.”
Teng Chuan editor shrugged.
“I heard Yuna ntion that the child helped her fight the witch, so I initially wanted to ask that child. At that ti, I thought what Yuna said about so Magic Girl action was likely a taphor or so kind of activity. And this may well relate to her death, so I also launched an investigation, but when I found that child’s residence, it was already too late. And that child’s cause of death was exactly the sa as Yuna’s! Do you think this is a coincidence?!”
“So you believe this is a witch’s curse?”
“No.”
This ti, Teng Chuan’s answer was unexpected for Duanmu Huai.
“The witch’s curse was sothing Yuna once told about. She said that the witch first uses sothing called the ‘Witch’s Kiss’ to control people’s minds, then makes them sacrifice themselves and pulls these victims into the witch’s barrier to turn them into food for the familiars. And once those familiars eat enough people, they transform into new witches. And when I learned about the group suicide event that occurred at that factory, I suddenly thought of the witch’s curse Yuna ntioned, so… that’s why I wrote it into the magazine.”
“Why?”
“To be honest? I don’t know, maybe I just wanted to vent, or maybe I was just looking for new material, or perhaps I hoped that soone would see this and do sothing… just like you are doing now.”
Upon saying this, Teng Chuan editor raised his head, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Duanmu Huai.
“So, miss, please tell , are you a Magic Girl?”
“If that’s what you’re hoping for, then I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
Duanmu Huai reached out, retrieving the War Hamr.
“Actually, I, like you, am also investigating the Magic Girl matter, so to be precise, I don’t know much more than you do, but I can confirm that those girls’ deaths are indeed related to Magic Girls and witches, but the specific situation, I’m still investigating.”
“Then… who exactly are you?”
“I’m the Great Judge from the Tribunal, that’s all you need to know.”
After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned directly to leave, having initially hoped to get so clues from this person, but now it seems that besides hearing a story that wasn’t very aningful, it was purely a waste of ti.
“Wait, wait a minute!!”
Just as Duanmu Huai was about to leave the editorial office, Teng Chuan editor suddenly leaped up.
