She endured the pain in her legs but did not ask Fang Yan for help.
This scene made Fang Yan purse his lips, feeling a bit of a pity. If Yukinoshita Haruno had asked for help at this moment, he would have immediately given her a princess carry.
He also recalled the scene not long ago when Yukino Yukinoshita warned him not to like her. Fang Yan really wanted to tell Yukino Yukinoshita that her sister was much more attractive than her.
However, Fang Yan still appreciates this behavior of not causing trouble for others.
Of course, given the other party's wicked nature, Yukinoshita Haruno was probably just frightened at this moment! Once she recovered, she would still be the same Haruno the Great Demon King.
After Fang Yan and his group left, the corpses that had been lying on the ground began to move. They slowly rose to their feet, revealing chilling smiles on their faces. Coupled with their torn mouths, anyone with a weak heart would probably be terrified to death upon seeing this!
Chapter 63
"As expected, what I saw before was correct; there are problems with all of you corpses!" Just as these slit-mouthed women were moving slowly, Fang Yan's figure reappeared in the street once again.
It turned out that Fang Yan had noticed the condition of these corpses before. They all had some resentment and yin energy on them. Fang Yan had previously thought that this was because the resentment could not be dispelled after they were killed by the Slit-Mouthed Woman. However, he did not expect that these corpses would turn into Slit-Mouthed Women.
At this moment, Fang Yan was very curious: were all these slit-mouthed women the same slit-mouthed woman, or were they independent individuals?
If it's an isolated individual, then it's a bit better; at most, it can be treated as a zombie virus. As for the subsequent situation, Fang Yan doesn't need to worry too much.
However, if these slit-mouthed women are actually the same person from beginning to end, then this is a bit troublesome. After killing her clone, one will need to consider whether the other clones of the slit-mouthed woman will retaliate against one or the people around them.
Moreover, isn't this ability a bit too terrifying? Anyone killed by the Slit-Mouthed Woman can become a new Slit-Mouthed Woman's body? Doesn't that mean that the opponent can reproduce indefinitely?
Or perhaps there's some flaw in it that I'm just unaware of right now!
When the "walking corpses" saw Fang Yan, their originally empty eyes became sharp and full of hatred. This made Fang Yan sigh helplessly. Sure enough, these corpses were all Kuchisake-onna, or more accurately, all parts of Kuchisake-onna!
Despite his helplessness, Fang Yan continued to draw talismans and attack the walking corpses.
Fortunately, although there were many of these slit-mouthed women, their "zombie transformation" period was not very long, and their threat level was not much stronger than that of normal humans, which was completely within Fang Yan's acceptable range.
If all these slit-mouthed female corpses were as powerful as the previous one, then even Fang Yan would have some headaches.
"Roar!" Faced with the endless stream of talismans, they were helpless. They could only express their killing intent with a roar, and then die from the power of those talismans.
It only took Fang Yan two or three minutes to easily deal with these "walking corpses," but he did not relax at all.
Even when the system told him he had earned 237 points, Fang Yan couldn't be happy.
Things seem to be getting a bit complicated. Even though Fang Yan has dealt with all these slit-mouthed women, who can guarantee that the first slit-mouthed woman they encountered was the first one they saw?
Perhaps the Slit-Mouthed Woman has clones in this city, or even in various cities, so wouldn't this guy be impossible to kill?
Of course, Fang Yan would never admit that he was craving the Slit-Mouthed Woman's energy. With just these few zombies, he could easily kill them one by one and provide him with a lot of energy. How could Fang Yan not be tempted by such an energy pack?
If he continues to find more Slit-Mouthed Women, Fang Yan feels that he will soon be able to complete his first lottery draw with 1000 points per draw.
Fang Yan took out his phone and, after some deliberation, decided not to call Vermouth. The two sides had just established a cooperative relationship, and if he were to ask Vermouth for help now, wouldn't that make him look weak?
He chose to call Inspector Megure directly, since the latter was involved in this matter, and with so many bodies, someone needed to clean up the mess.
Inspector Megure answered the phone quickly and said, "Brother Fang, I was just about to look for you!"
Brother Fang? You're really a natural at making friends! You call Shinichi Kudo "Brother Kudo," Kogoro Mouri "Brother Mouri," and now you call me Brother Fang.
Good for you!
Are they treating me like Shinichi Kudo, just a tool?
"Inspector Megure, I have something to do here. Have you heard of the Slit-Mouthed Woman?" Fang Yan said with a hint of helplessness.
"What? You also encountered the Slit-Mouthed Woman?" Inspector Megure was also surprised upon hearing this and quickly asked.
"Yes, I smelled blood while I was taking a walk. I came to a small alley and found more than 20 corpses. Then I saw a woman holding another woman hostage in this alley. It was the legendary Slit-Mouthed Woman. After I dealt with her and sent the other woman away..."
"Those corpses also came back to life one by one, turning into zombie-like beings!" Fang Yan sighed softly.
After their last encounter, Fang Yan also learned that the higher-ups were already aware of some supernatural events, at least Inspector Megure was aware of them.
Therefore, Fang Yan did not hide much when communicating with Inspector Megure, after all, he had already revealed to Inspector Megure that he was very good at fighting.
"What? You encountered it too? Where? I'm coming right away!" Inspector Megure said hurriedly.
"It's at XXXX!" Fang Yan asked, "Did you also encounter the Slit-Mouthed Woman over there?"
"Yes, there have been several cases of children and girls going missing recently, and we've been investigating this matter."
Chapter 64
"Could you tell me how many people have gone missing these past few days?" Fang Yan asked hurriedly. Although he didn't believe that the Slit-Mouthed Woman could directly transform someone into a part of herself simply by killing them, he still had a reason to ask.
Even if it is a transformation, it takes time and energy. However, if it is not resolved as soon as possible, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, which is difficult to solve at first, will become a huge problem in the long run.
Fang Yan did covet the Slit-Mouthed Woman's energy, but that didn't mean he didn't want to kill her as soon as possible.
"Missing? In just my jurisdiction, hundreds of people have mysteriously disappeared this week!" Inspector Megure said, somewhat conflicted.
If this were to get out, it would likely cause widespread panic. Although a hundred people might not seem like much to the city, Inspector Megure felt he was going to go crazy if things continued like this.
"Over a hundred people?" Fang Yan was somewhat silent. Over a hundred people was indeed a lot. Not all of these people disappeared because of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, but it was very likely that half of them did. Moreover, this was only the area where Inspector Megure was located; who knew how many there were in the entire city?
This is a world-class metropolis!
"Come over here quickly, let's resolve this as soon as possible, otherwise the Slit-Mouthed Woman could spread like a plague!" Fang Yan said to Inspector Megure in a deep voice.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Yan drew several talismans in mid-air, sealing off the scene.
These talismans do not need to be removed from the body for a long time. If paper is used as a medium, they can be preserved for a longer time. Drawing talismans directly in the air is convenient and cool, but the duration of preservation is short.
However, Fang Yan was only trying to prevent these corpses from resurrecting.
As for himself, he didn't like being in places with so many corpses. After all, he wasn't Shinichi Kudo and didn't have such a fetish.
When he arrived on the street, he found Yukino Yukinoshita still standing there. Seeing Fang Yan return, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly waved to him.
"What? You haven't left yet?" Fang Yan stepped forward and asked.
The woman in front of him was no innocent girl; she was a woman who couldn't stay still. If she had any particular ideas, Fang Yan wouldn't mind letting her know what a real cannon fodder was.
"Has the Slit-Mouthed Woman been dealt with?" Yukinoshita asked with a smile. For some reason, she felt that the other party seemed to know her very well and didn't seem to want to have much contact with her.
He's clearly a handsome guy, and he's clearly a hero saving a damsel in distress, so why doesn't he do anything about it?
Is it because I'm not good-looking?
Yukinoshita was somewhat confused. She had always been very confident in her looks, but now she was filled with doubt about her charm.
"No!" Fang Yan shook his head slightly and said, "But this matter has nothing to do with you anymore. In the future, try to avoid walking at night and try to walk in crowded places!"
"This kind of thing is common?" Yukino Yukinoshita was also surprised, and for a moment, many thoughts came to mind.
“No, a woman like you is very likely to encounter thugs when walking in alleys!” Fang Yan said, shaking his head slightly.
At the same time, he was also impressed. Yukinoshita Haruno truly lived up to her title of "Great Demon King Haruno." Her sensitivity was indeed far superior to that of Yukinoshita Yukino, as she had noticed the difference in his words in such a short time.
"You mean I'm pretty?" Yukinoshita Haruno said with a playful smirk.
Fang Yan glanced at her but didn't deny it. To be fair, Yukinoshita Haruno was quite pretty, and it would be an insult to his eyes to say she wasn't beautiful.
"You should leave. What happens next is not something you should continue to learn about!" Fang Yan then said calmly.
Then he saw that Yukinoshita seemed somewhat unwilling, and her right hand was also radiating brilliant light: "If you don't want to lose your memory in physics or other aspects, then don't worry about it anymore."
Now is not the time for you to know these things!
"Fine, I won't say then!" Yukino Yukino pouted when she saw that the other party was serious, but she didn't continue the topic. Instead, she seriously took out a business card and handed it to Fang Yan, saying, "Thank you for saving me this time. If there's anything I can do for you in the future..."
Please call me! Although my help might be of little use to someone like you!
Fang Yan took the business card, quietly looked at Yukinoshita Haruno, and saw utmost seriousness and earnestness on her face. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Be careful!"
"Okay! Goodbye then, and don't tell Yukino about what happened today!" Yukinoshita Haruno returned to her usual sunny and cheerful self, blew Fang Yan a kiss, and then limped towards a black car not far away.
It was obvious without even thinking that this car was there to pick up Yukino Yukinoshita. Fang Yan didn't pay much attention to it, only secretly lamenting, "What a pity about those beautiful legs!"
I don't know if the injury will leave a scar!
The fact that the other person could endure not going directly to the hospital, but instead waited until he came out before giving him their business card and a thank you note, was enough to make Fang Yan feel a little favorably toward Yukino Yukinoshita.
(The previous chapter was from another book and was posted by mistake. Well, it has been corrected. Sigh! Arthur is also the name of the protagonist in another book by the same author.)
Chapter 65
"Brother Fang Yan!" Inspector Megure and his team arrived very quickly. Well, if you asked them for help, they would be very efficient, but since Fang Yan has already solved the problem here, they arrived very quickly.
Looking at Inspector Megure and the dozen or so PCs following behind him, Fang Yan pointed behind him: "It's inside. Go in and take a look. Quite a few people are dead!"
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure waved his hand, and then the people behind him walked into the alley in a flurry.
"What about the lady you saved?" Inspector Megure asked at this moment.
It wasn't that they doubted Fang Yan. After all, after what happened yesterday, the higher-ups had already marked Fang Yan specially, telling them not to hold him back and that they could sometimes give him certain conveniences.
If Inspector Megure hadn't known these things before, he would have suspected that this was favoritism. But now, he knows that the world of emotions is not simple, and there are many special events, and Fang Yan is the kind of person who can handle special events.
"She's gone. Yukino Yukinoshita, you can check the nearby surveillance footage or call her to ask!" Fang Yan said, pointing to the camera at the traffic light intersection in the distance.
The spiritual energy is still in the process of revival, the legal order has not yet collapsed, the situation where powerful people kill people at the drop of a hat has not yet appeared, and a new order has not yet been born.
That will be a chaotic period.
"Thank you for your cooperation!" Inspector Megure nodded slightly, but did not immediately arrange for someone to investigate. Instead, he sighed and said, "Brother Fang Yan, how much do you know about the Slit-Mouthed Woman?"
"Rumors? I've heard of them! After I dealt with the slit-mouthed woman who kidnapped Yukinoshita, I discovered that the corpses that the slit-mouthed woman had killed had actually come back to life, and some of them looked like the zombies in the rumors."
I don't know how many people the Slit-Mouthed Woman killed, since not everyone who is killed is reported missing!
"However, even I cannot be certain whether those who killed the corpses, once resurrected, can also resurrect the people who killed them," Fang Yan said after thinking for a moment.
"The bodies of the murdered can come back to life like zombies?" Inspector Megure was shocked. Holy crap, is this some kind of exaggerated thing? This also made him realize that if this matter is not handled properly, it may really become an infection like zombies.
In that case, wouldn't we really be doomed?
"Let me make a phone call!" Inspector Megure said quickly.
