Chapter 1 Is it really a coincidence?

(For occupational classification, please read the chapter review introduction first.)

In a dark room.

A young man with a handsome face placed his hands next to a crystal ball glowing with white light...

On the crystal ball.

Intermittent footage is being played

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Norton Coulter, take your hands back.

Put away the twenty-two tarot cards neatly arranged on the table.

Pick up the monocle from the table and put it on.

He changed into a tuxedo and walked out.

"Tick tock...! Tick tock...!"

The sound of liquid falling could be heard in the dim corridor.

At this time.

The kerosene lamp suddenly went out in the corridor

A middle-aged man wearing aristocratic clothing.

His body shook.

The pupils contracted slightly.

With the help of the moonlight, he scanned the corridor back and forth.

But there was no movement at all.

Thinking of recent rumors.

I started to panic in my heart.

Calling softly: "Who is here, come out!!"

"Tick tock.! Tick tock.!~!~"

But apart from the sound of water dripping from somewhere, there was no movement at all.

The man's heart suddenly sank.

His eyes showed fear.

His body was trembling slightly, and he moved step by step while holding on to the wall.

Look around from time to time.

"Tashar...Tashar...where are you???" He kept calling the maid's name softly.

The sound echoed down the corridor.

There was no reply.

"Tick tock...! Tick tock...!...!...!..." The sound of water dripping became clearer and clearer.

The hairs on the body of a middle-aged man stand on end.

Although such supernatural events happen frequently recently.

Just never thought about it.

Show up for yourself.

I usually just listen to it as a joke.

Even his moving steps stopped, and he looked around cautiously under the moonlight.

"Who...who is it?...Don't be joking here..."

This sentence seemed to give the middle-aged man great courage.

Then he yelled.

"Who is it!!! Come out!!! Do you know the consequences of playing tricks on nobles??? Come out if you don't want to!!!"

Still no response.

The middle-aged man couldn't bear it anymore and roared with red eyes.

"I, Baron Borsay, order you to come out immediately!!! Otherwise you will be judged by the nobles!!!"

Except the sound keeps echoing.

Still no reply.

"Tick tock...! Tick tock...! Tick tock...!..." The voice became clearer and clearer, and it felt very close to me.

A sudden thought occurred in my heart...

Could it be...

Borsai no longer dared to think about it any more.

Continue to move along the wall.

"Pah...!" Suddenly, he felt something dripping on his forehead.

The pores on the body instantly.

All exploded.

He raised his head tremblingly.

Look up.

A terrifying face.

appear before your eyes.

Two eyeballs hang on the cheeks.

Saliva kept dripping from his mouth.

The bright red tongue swung back and forth in the air.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" the two screamed instantly.

Borsai collapsed on the ground in fear.

"Don't kill me!! Don't kill me, what do you want?? You want money...I'll give it to you, I have gold coins!! Don't kill me!! Please!! Don't kill me...!!"

However.

The grimace slowly moved downwards.

Both faces.

Keep getting closer.

Borsa could no longer bear the fear.

I screamed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Pfft...!!" The moment he opened his mouth.

Bright red tongue.

Directly into Borsa's mouth.

"Uh...uh...!!" Until the end of his life, he could only make a whimpering sound.

His eyes were filled with fear and lifeless.

That bright red tongue.

Like a pipe, it is constantly agitating.

Borse body.

It began to dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The monster's eyeballs hanging on its cheeks.

The pupils began to shrink slightly, as if they were enjoying themselves very much.

Until Borsa's body turned into human skin.

The bright red tongue began to wiggle.

Directly to Borsa.

Throw it against the wall.

"Bang...!!" There was a sound, and the body fell to the ground.

Just as the monster was about to leave.

The wall that was hit just now.

"Crunch...!" A strange voice sounded.

The monster turned around quickly.

An arrow shone with cold light at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Shooting towards it.

"Pfft...!!!" accurately penetrated the monster's eyebrows.

"thump…!!"

The body instantly fell from the wall.

The place where the arrow was shot was exactly a mechanism.

Borsa's body.

It happened to hit the switch button.

Calm returned to the corridor.

About 5 minutes passed.

"Tap...! Tread...! Tread...!..." Footsteps sounded from the other end of the corridor.

Under the moonlight, a slender figure appeared.

Come out of the darkness.

Come to the body.

"Crack...!" The sound of lighter sounded.

The firelight instantly illuminated this area.

A handsome man with a monocle on his face.

Wearing a tuxedo and black gloves.

There was a smile on his lips.

He took out a dagger from his inner pocket.

Crouch down.

On the monster's cheek.

Cut off both eyeballs.

He took out another glass bottle and put it in it.

He muttered to himself.

"We have obtained the eyeballs of the human-faced spider, and the second set of materials has been collected!!"

Put out the fire.

The man disappeared into the moonlight again.

Early morning on the second day.

Next to Borsa's body.

A group of people gathered around.

Two men in police uniforms squatted next to the body.

One of them.

I am busy doing various inspections.

It took 5 minutes to stop.

To the side.

Another man in police uniform said.

"Detective Finks, we have confirmed that the deceased is the owner of this castle, Baron Borsay."

"The monster corpse is a human-faced spider."

"After preliminary judgment, the human-faced spider attacked Baron Borsay and threw his body to the opposite wall."

"It happened to hit the hidden mechanism and shoot the human-faced spider to death!"

Finks was half kneeling on the ground.

Putting one hand on his knees, he held his chin and looked at the body carefully.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Hear colleagues answer.

Shaked his head.

"Rolsey, don't you think there's something wrong with this matter?"

Rolsey was confused when he heard this.

"Detective Finks, there's nothing wrong. It's just a coincidence."
