Chapter 15: The Second Deceased
Yagi is fast.
He's confident in his speed.
If it was only for a moment, he even had the confidence that he would not be thrown away by Achilles.
But...... No matter how hard he tried to speed up, it was always a little slower.
Every time he rushed up the stairs, he would see a pitch-black figure, with a flowing arc of electricity, turning around from the top of the stairs and speeding all the way upstairs.
Yagi's heart beat violently, turning his magic into blood and bursting all over his bodyโhe was in love with each other!
You run fast! I'm not slow to run! Never let you escape!
The two chased all the way, and in a blink of an eye, they had reached the top of the building, knocked open the door of the rooftop, and the wind whistled.
While taking away the temperature of his cheeks, it also eased Yagi's anger.
His eyes were locked on another person on the rooftop.
It was a man dressed in black.
I could barely make out the structure of the black top hat, and it exuded a thick black aura all over its body, and the purple arc was shining.
It's so weird that ...... It's hard to describe what the hell this is.
"Are you the murderer?"
Yagi Yukisai sneered, and the magic spear and holy sword flashed in his hand, and the magic power was poured into his wrist...... He thought to himself: since it's the roof, I don't have to worry about affecting other people.
As soon as he speaks, the moment he has an explanation, he will do it himself.
Why the conviction that he will explain?
Because the bosses in the anime are like this! Before the fight, he will definitely say a lot of nonsense, anyway, either to say that he is righteous, or to say that he is invincible, or to laugh at the idiocy of the protagonist. Anyway, there is no boss who doesn't say a word.
He just asked a question, whether he admitted it or denied it or said some obscure words to play dumb riddles, he would use the holy sword to cut it.
At this height, there is no fear that the light cannon will destroy other people's houses.
However, the Shadow seemed to understand this, and he didn't say anything, he didn't do anything. Just raised himself backwards, and the whole person fell down the low protective fence!!
Yagi didn't expect this escape plan, so he quickly chased after it, and the black figure in the middle was in the rapid fall, hidden by the black, and the purple arc flashed a few times before disappearing.
"That guy, is it an assassin......
Yagi Yukisai gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: This guy is really so cautious.
Escaped!
He actually escaped!
The last enemy he saw that emitted mist was the one with the peculiar point............ Who's coming? Anyway, I vaguely remember that there is an enemy that can use mist.
If you don't fight yourself, you just run away...... Is his purpose yes? Bring yourself here! Isn't that right? This is a tiger away from the mountain?!
Yagi Yukisai thought of a possibility and felt a thrill in his heart, although it was said that the knight Dion was protecting Queen Mary, although it was said that Fujimaru Rika had Tamamo by his side, two ceremonies and mustard Hinako...... No, this last one probably can't be treated as a bodyguard.
Theoretically, there should be no problem, but ...... Theory is theory, and in the end, it is necessary to look at it in practice.
After all, the other party can kill a servant with strong defense like Joan of Arc.
Yagi Yukisai fell into a trance for a while, not knowing whether to go to see Fujimaru Ritsuka first or go back to the underground garage to see Queen Mary first.
Because of a strange [rule], he can only go to one place now, and he is very sure that after he goes to the side, time will be pushed for half a day...... This time push is really too harsh for decryption.
Regular detective games are all about giving an infinite amount of time to investigate and explore, and as long as you don't collect enough evidence to support your win, you won't be allowed to leave the link to ensure that the player wins.
Yagi has also played games with time limits that require players to get enough clues within the allotted time. But! It's the first time he'd seen a game like this, exploring something, investigating something, or even talking to someone in a room that would push through so much time in one go.
Of course, it's not just a game.
Now that I can't get in touch with Chaldea, I don't know if Joan of Arc is really dead or if I'm back in Chaldea, but ...... Be careful.
Yukisai Yagi thought about it for a while, and finally returned to the underground garage.
Queen Mary was crying as she hugged Mordred's body.
A large number of people had already gathered in the underground garage.
It's a lot less than when I first watched it.
Yagi then remembered that chasing the black shadow to the top of the building should have been calculated as an incident and advanced.
Parting the crowd and coming to Queen Mary's side, Holmes was already there.
He's doing an analysis report.
"The deceased this time had no obvious external injuries and no obvious signs of poisoning...... It's really impossible to guess how to die. โ
This is his conclusion.
It's also a self-explanatory thing.
Mordred's expression was obviously like she was still chatting with the other party one second, and was killed by some mysterious force the next.
"We ...... At that time, I went downstairs and met Yukisai Yagi and Mordred, and then, Yukisai Yagi left first and went to the hot spring baths, and we were chatting with her. In the process of chatting, she suddenly maintained this position and fell. โ
Dion's voice was very low, and she tried to suppress her emotions and anger.
Queen Mary just hid her face and wept bitterly, and did nothing.
Both cases were related to Queen Mary and the knight Dion, with Joan of Arc living in the same room with Queen Mary before her death, and Mordred chatting with them before she died.
It's hard not to think about it.
Yagi Yukisai always felt that something was wrong.
Always watching all kinds of fantasy works, he already has many possibilities in his mind.
For example, they are an impostor.
For example, they were actually cursed in some way, and if they were with them, they would be cursed to be killed.
Or maybe the two of them inadvertently got together some of the conditions to unlock the mechanism in this apartment building......
The second deceased appeared.
And it's the same as Joan of Arc, the death is inexplicable.
Who killed them and for what reason? Yagi didn't know.
It should be said...... There's no reason for that.
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.
You know, there are so many people here, and it's clear that there are two people who are investigating the case, himself and Sherlock Holmes. So, the question arises - as a murderer, shouldn't you attack these two people first?
Why cross two explorers?
Either...... It's shady, and there is absolute confidence that you can win.
Either...... It's shady, and there's no way to attack these two people.
Yagi slowly looked around, trying to keep everyone in mind:
The murderer is between our group.
