Chapter 421 (2/2)
There was safety in numbers. This ragtag gang consisted of nine people, which ghost would dare approach such a group?
Everybody was preoccupied with their own agendas. Wang Yan assembled her besties and started discussing on how to awaken “Zhao Youyue.” On the other hand, Zhao Youyue was still busy concocting an identity for herself. Could she play the amnesiac card?
Memory loss was a painfully common yet acceptable excuse that interdimensional travelers used. However, this group might not buy such an excuse. Why did she have to appear under such eerie circumstances?
It was a hill that had literally been covered by tombstones!
A jaded guy broke the ice and said to Ou Yang, “Oh great inspector, could you please share your speculations with us? In your opinion, where did this girl come from?”
Ou Yang backhanded the proverbial fly aside, and snapped, “Please don’t mix our work up with the work of private investigators in “Detective Conan!” I have never handled any murder cases before. Most of my cases had involved tailing estranged husbands about and taking photos of cheaters…”
“That’s so disappointing!”
“It depends on how you see it. Our police are effective as they are when it comes to apprehending criminals. Private investigators still need to procure bowls of rice for themselves. I, for one, do not want to be anywhere close to a murder scene,” Ou Yang always welcomed critics generously.
Zhao Youyue could not believe in what she heard. Wasn’t Ou Yang supposed to be a great inspector in this world? His expertise lay in marriage affairs!
“Detective Conan” sounded awfully similar to the first dimension she had ever traveled to. This story did not exist in her reality! Could this iconic – spiritual – realistic world be parallel to her first reality?
If only she had a phone in this world. With it, she could figure out the truth on the internet!
Her alibi was almost complete. Zhao Youyue prepared to return to her body…
She had been abducted by an evil human trafficking agency, and they had taken her to the village, and she had attempted to escape from this place…
In spite of all that preparation, nobody asked her a thing when she woke up. Everyone moved away from her, except for the black cat. Somehow, she was now the owner of the cat.
Zhao Youyue was puzzled by the scene. Little did she know that her body was giving off the scent of decay and death… That smell when you walk into… the ancient village zombie in the mountains!
Wait, was she in a tomb?
A nameless tomb?
Eternal Flame?
In this spirit world, could she be the ruthless murderer that disguised itself as a zombie?
