Capítulo 2017: Chapter 1361: Unraveling the Threads (Building Houses Is Definitely More Fun)
Although Blondie said that, Duanmu Huai naturally wouldn’t just take advantage of it for free. In the end, Blondie had to give Duanmu Huai a discount and promised to renovate the place as quickly as possible according to Duanmu Huai’s requirents. Luckily, the current decorations weren’t very complicated, and Duanmu Huai only wanted to make so changes to the decor, so it wouldn’t take much ti.
Blondie also assured Duanmu Huai that at most a week, within a week it could be done!
Of course, this week didn’t an Duanmu Huai would be slacking off; he still had many things to do.
The first thing, naturally, was to resu the investigation!
Duanmu Huai’s previous investigation ended fruitlessly because he wasn’t very skilled in this area. But now, with Yuko Shionji around, it wouldn’t be a problem anymore. Duanmu Huai wasn’t good at gathering intelligence, but he was very good at utilizing people who did!
Lumiaire and Duanmu Huai had been collaborating for so long that Duanmu Huai knew how to use these hackers.
The first thing Duanmu Huai asked Yuko Shionji to investigate was Saeki Ryoko and Mikoto Jun!
Though they were victims, at the sa ti, these two were the key figures in these two incidents!
You could say if Mikoto Jun hadn’t dug through the Burrowing Demon Worm’s nest, if Saeki Ryoko hadn’t recklessly broken the rules of the Bai Fan Family, perhaps these two places would still be peaceful and nothing would have happened!
Stepping back, even if there was so connection between these two, they were already dead!
They’re already dead, what can you do?
It’s undeniable if this was the plan of that Cult, then they certainly played their cards well.
Those supernatural enthusiasts, Duanmu Huai knew them well; most were like Lord Ye who loved dragons. Just like those who watch “Ringu,” boasting that if Sadako cos out they’ll let her take maternity leave, when they really see Sadako crawling out of the TV, wouldn’t they be scared to death?
Furthermore, due to the tis’ developnt, most modern people don’t believe in ghosts and spirits. So even those who believe in supernatural activities can’t convince others because they can’t present evidence — but precisely because of this, if given a chance to prove their ideas right, their drive would be strong!
More importantly, these people completely don’t understand how terrifying those things are!
As the saying goes, ignorance is fearless, just like in horror movies, viewers always encounter such scenarios — a coffin is sealed, soone says it’s to seal a Devil and must not be opened easily, then soone else says there’s no Devil, it’s all fake, and then opens the coffin.
Then follows screams, killings, Monster revivals, and whatnot.
Or soone explores ancient tombs and discovers a sealed door, and so big shot excitedly opens it.
Then follows blood, corpses, end-of-the-world scenarios, and the like.
From the audience’s perspective, they could certainly curse these people for being brainless idiots. But that’s because viewers know they’re watching a horror film and have so psychological understanding of the plot. So when they see a sealed coffin, a locked door, they instinctively assu the contents are real.
But in reality, when most people face such scenarios, their choices likely won’t differ much from those in movies.
At most, they stand aside and do nothing; they won’t stop an excavation just out of fear that there might actually be a Curse inside.
It’s not like they’re joking.
Duanmu Huai first asked Yuko Shionji to investigate Mikoto Jun.
Regarding this young man, the only impression Duanmu Huai had was that pitiful corpse. That was it, but after hearing the construction team’s leader’s explanation, Duanmu Huai’s Judge intuition imdiately sensed sothing was off with this guy.
The construction team took on the mountain road project, which wasn’t a secret in the town, and since Mikoto Jun was also from the town, he must have known about it. Moreover, he wasn’t working, so going to the construction site to find work was quite normal. Building the mountain road required many hands, so the construction team recruiting was quite natural.
At first glance, all seed orderly and logical.
But because of this, Duanmu Huai instead suspected sothing fishy was going on.
So he asked Yuko Shionji to investigate Mikoto Jun, and sure enough, she found so clues by searching through Mikoto Jun’s online account!
According to Yuko Shionji’s investigation, this Mikoto Jun was a mysterious creature enthusiast. Simply put, he was obsessed with legendary Monsters, like the Loch Ness Monster, Chupacabra, Bigfoot Yeti, and such. He even produced many videos about mysterious creatures and was a sowhat notable video creator online.
And according to the investigation, he also made so money through these videos, enough for his daily expenses.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai imdiately decided, this guy definitely had issues!
Comfortably sitting at ho editing videos to earn money, who would want to go to a construction site for manual labor?
And digging deeper, sure enough, Duanmu Huai spotted so clues.
Under Mikoto Jun’s most popular video, a fierce argunt erupted!
