After talking on the phone with the person at headquarters, Koda originally planned to find a place nearby where no one was around to hide.
He cannot see anyone now, not even animals, insects, or any living creatures.
Every guy with a brain must have a face like Sae's.
His clothes were soaked through, and the wind from the lake made him feel chilly.
Just bear with it and wait.
Can't those weird investigators come by helicopter? It shouldn't take long.
Koda got into the phone booth.
Several hours passed by after waiting, and Koda even fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, it was completely dark. I had been in the phone booth for so long, but no one contacted me.
Bastard, didn't you say those weird investigators would contact him?
Koda immediately called the commander of the headquarters again, "Hello?"
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey!"
"beep--"
An electronic sound that was very familiar to Koda came from the other end of the phone.
As the former boss of a loan shark company, Koda certainly knew very well that this was the notification sound that the phone number had been blacklisted by the other party.
Bastard...bastard!
This ungrateful son of a bitch.
He must have wanted Koda to be killed by Weird, so that no one would know about his reasons.
When Koda calms down, he must reveal all the shameful things the old bastard has done!
Phone calls, recordings, videos, people who collect money, people who give money, people who keep women, perverted hobbies, people who seek silence from the underworld, people who gamble in Amiliga, all are put online! Hand it all over to the Inspection Section of the headquarters! asshole!
"hiss……"
The weather here is too cold.
If he stayed any longer, there would be no need for weirdness to come to his door. Koda would have to freeze to death first.
He thought for a while, why not go home and change clothes first? No, his home might have become Zaoe's base camp, and he couldn't go there.
Just go to the apartment. Even the girl he kept had a face like Sae's, so Koda could just lower his head and not look at her.
Koda finally figured it out.
As long as he can bear it, no matter what if the other person has a face like Zaoe's, he will not be able to cause any substantial harm to him.
At worst, he would hide in the apartment for the time being and let the woman wear a mask every day.
After he stabilizes, he will find a way to contact the person at the headquarters. If he really does such a great job, Koda will fight him to the end!
Covering her face and lowering her head, she boarded the subway and arrived at the apartment where the woman rented.
Koda didn't know how he survived. All in all, he didn't even look sideways and didn't even dare to cast his peripheral vision where there were people.
"Ding dong!"
"Koda-kun, I'm here!" A woman's cheerful voice came from the room.
The footsteps started and stopped, and the woman seemed to be standing behind the door, looking at Koda through the peephole.
"Husband, why are you covering your face..."
"Don't ask so many questions. Turn your face away when you open the door!"
Koda said to the crack in the door.
"What are you doing?" the woman asked, "Do you have a surprise for me?"
"What a shock! Open the door quickly."
The door opened.
As expected, the woman's back was turned to Koda.
On the back of his head, Haye's face was smiling broadly at Koda.
"ah!"
Koda collapsed on the ground, kicked his legs straight to the ground, and hid crazily back.
He found that as long as he saw this face, he couldn't calm down at all.
My previous plan to simply ignore her and ignore her was completely empty talk.
After struggling through the terrible subway station, I didn't expect that when I returned to the apartment, my little sanity was gone all the way...
"Huh? Koda-kun, what's wrong with you?"
"Get out...get out! Damn woman, get out of here!"
Koda was going crazy - in his eyes, Haye's head didn't move, but her body turned in a circle, and her chest turned to the front, which was extremely weird.
"Ah...why did you say that to me?" The face that was exactly the same as Haye's was full of grievances, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be said to your wife Haye?"
"roll!!!!"
Koda himself rolled away first.
He stumbled into the elevator, gasping for air.
After pressing the button to go to the first floor, Koda raised his head. On the advertisement in the elevator glass window, the face of the female star looked exactly like Haye's.
Even the ads!
"Ah! Hahahaha... I'm blind! Let me go blind!"
He said, smashing the glass with his fist.
"Wow..."
The glass was shattered and scattered all over the floor, and his hands were covered in blood.
The expression of the female star with Haye's face became clearer.
Every piece of broken glass on the ground was Zaoe's face.
Koda couldn't say a word and kept trembling.
"The first floor is here!"
The elevator chime is so touching.
The moment the elevator door opened, Koda rushed out.
The man walking into the apartment corridor had the face of Sae.
He was holding a Labrador retriever with the face of Sae.
"Dog! Dog beast!"
"Hey, why are you swearing?"
Koda knocked open the apartment door and rushed out.
On the street, the faces of all the passers-by are those of Zaoe, and there is no place that does not exude the aura of Zaoe.
Koda seemed to be going crazy. Looking at the precocious faces with various expressions, he rushed over, hugged one and kissed them.
"what are you doing?"
The boyfriend next to the woman knocked Koda down with a punch, "Pervert?"
Koda rushed to hug the man again, "Honey, it was my fault, I'm sorry for you!" His eyes were filled with tears.
"The Sword Comes"
"What bad luck!"
The man quickly pushed Koda away and left with his girlfriend.
The two people turned their heads, and the face of Haye was still on the back of their heads.
Koda was desperate and knelt on the ground, his eyes full of madness.
"It's all Zaoe, haha... It's all Zaoe! It's all my wife..."
Under the distant street lights, a taxi slowly drove over.
Among the smells of morning benefits all over the place, only that taxi exuded a different aura——
That's...god...is it god? Only gods can defeat monsters...
"Help...help!"
Koda seemed to see the hope of life, got up from the ground, stumbled and ran towards the taxi.
The taxi stopped slowly.
The car door opened for Koda.
Koda burst into tears. Is this taxi really sent by God to save those poor people who are about to go crazy and are tortured by weird things?
He got in without hesitation.
The world is purified.
"Where are you going?"
The driver turned his head from the driver's seat.
Great...I finally saw a face that was completely different from Haye's.
"You can go wherever you want," Koda said, "Please keep driving and never stop. I'll give you any amount of money."
The car starts.
It started to rain outside, and everything was red, like blood dissolved in the rain.
"This rain is so good...let's wash away all the scent of Haye that's scattered everywhere between heaven and earth."
Koda relaxed and stared out the window in a daze.
The driver turned on the radio and played "It Rains Again in Nagasaki Today"——
【栬にこぼれるなみだの雨に，
My cheeks are covered with raindrops and tears,
Ming も爱も世てたのに,
Give up life and love...]
"This song is really unlucky... Don't give up on love or anything like that. He has never expected that kind of thing anyway. Life is too precious. Even if you have to wag your tail like a dog every day to please your master, you must still do it well. Stay alive."
Bad review.
This song must be criticized.
"Hey," Koda said to the driver, "Please change the song. It's very unlucky."
The driver didn't answer.
At this time, a familiar voice from Koda came from the side:
"Among so many passengers, you are the first one to ask Eijiro to change the song... It's not easy."
Koda followed the sound and discovered that there was someone sitting in the back seat of the taxi.
He turned around and looked——
The man sitting next to him was wearing a police uniform and had no face.
Fortunately... it's okay if it's not Zaoe's face.
Wait...police?
The man was holding a book in his hand and reading it with gusto.
"Please...please ask," Koda said, "When did you get on the bus..."
"Me?"
The man turned a page and said, "I'm always in the car. When you get in the car, I'll be there."
But when Koda got into the car, he clearly remembered that there was no one in the back seat.
God...this man who exudes the aura of justice must be God.
Only then would God come and go without a trace like this, and only then would God appear in such a terrifying and bizarre hell to save helpless mortals.
Yes, it must be God.
God didn't want mortals to see his face, so his face was blurred.
"you……"
Koda's voice trembled, "Are you a god?"
The man was still flipping through the book and seemed to have no intention of answering.
I am even more certain that such calmness, such indifference and aloofness, only God can have such an aura.
Koda knelt on the seat and said respectfully:
"Are you here specifically to save me?
You're here to clear out the chaotic, murderous grotesques, right? "
No wonder, as soon as Koda saw this man, he felt his wet clothes being dried and his whole body felt warm.
The man turned another page and still didn't answer.
Koda became even more respectful, kneeling on the seat and prostrating his entire upper body.
The rain outside the window didn't stop, and the unlucky song was still playing.
Koda no longer dared to raise objections.
My mind began to wander again——
God will not show up easily. God must be aloof and mysterious, otherwise he cannot be called God.
So, why did God come to find me?
There is only one answer, Koda was chosen by God. He must have been chosen by God to become an angel or something like that, and from now on he will probably represent God and walk in the world.
This is not surprising... Koda has always shown extraordinary qualities.
What a coincidence. Koda Tsuyoshi was still thinking about whether he wanted to be a ghost exorcist or a magician in the future, and God came to guide him.
Everything is God's will.
After becoming a divine envoy, you will have terrifying power.
Well, when that happens, the first thing he's going to do is destroy those freaks.
For example, Hayae.
Wait, Haye...how could this be weird...Wasn't Haye broken into powder and sprinkled in every corner of Lidu?
Koda suddenly felt that he had forgotten something, and he remembered it just now.
"That's not right," he climbed up from his seat in a daze, "I forgot something..."
The taxi has arrived at the entrance of Lidong Expressway.
"Maybe,"
The driver turned around and looked at Koda: "Maybe you forgot to be grateful."
Koda woke up instantly.
Yes, he seems to be trapped in a weird situation, Haye... Haye is everywhere...
But why is he getting into a taxi now?
Who is this faceless man next to me?
god……
Come to think of it, he is God.
He is the true God who comes to save himself.
Koda was about to get up and prostrate himself on the seat again, but found that his body could no longer move.
The man finally finished reading the book in his hand and closed it.
The cover of the book says "Don't talk to strangers."
The man suddenly turned his head and looked at Koda,
"Although I am very reluctant to talk to a scum like you, if I really don't say anything, I'm afraid you still don't know why you ended up in this situation."
Koda's eyes widened.
"Yes, I turned Haye into a monstrosity, making her pervasive and everywhere."
"you--"
"If a scum like you can still live happily in this world, it would be a shame for me who have embarked on this road of no return.
I don't want you to get too comfortable for one minute, not even for one second. "
The man said: "Actually, I could have let you be pestered and threatened by Zao Hui until you died. But in that case, it seems that you would have a chance to be reincarnated.
Moreover, people like you who are afraid of evil spirits may turn into harmful monsters after death.
So, after thinking about it, I decided to let your soul be trapped in the toll booth forever. "
Koda seemed to understand the man's words, but he didn't seem to understand them.
He looked at the man, and his face gradually became clearer - it's Haye again!
Koda wanted to run away, but his body wouldn't obey him at all.
The taxi moved forward slowly at a snail's pace, and Koda's days seemed like years.
Finally, the taxi stopped.
"We've arrived,"
The driver in the front seat slowly turned his head and said with a sinister smile: "Koda-san, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of Hayae."
The car door opened, and Koda stepped out of the car involuntarily. The man in the car put on the hat on his sweatshirt.
There was no face of Zaoe outside the car, and the world suddenly became peaceful.
Koda walked towards the toll booth passage and lay down in the middle.
What am I doing?
Koda's thoughts were wandering... Do I have to lie here forever from now on?
However, if she lay here alone, it seemed that she would never have to see Haye's scary and unhappy face again.
Maybe...this is good...
The car's high-beam headlights turned on, and Fujino couldn't open his eyes because of the dazzling light.
Who is so incompetent?
Don't you know how to change the high beam to low beam when you arrive at the toll station?
Don’t you know that toll collectors at toll booths have a very hard time on duty every night? Do you have to blind people's eyes with high beams?
Bad review!
The large truck drove over slowly and turned on its low beam headlights.
etc……
Good guy, is this thing that weighs several tons going to run over me?
It's still driving so slowly!
Doesn't this turn Koda into a meat pie?
"hiss--"
The truck ran over him, and when he was paying the toll, a tire was pressed right under his lower abdomen... and it was crushed.
Koda was so painful that he almost fainted.
Bastard... It's all that old bastard's fault, you bastard, it's all his fault for refusing to save himself...
And that bullshit god just now...who does he think he is?
The big truck finally drove by.
Not far away, another truck drove over, its high beam lights shining brightly...
Bastard, you can't die even if you're driven like this? How many more times are you going to be run over?
Koda was desperate.
Fortunately, I no longer have to look at Haye's face.
At this time, the toll collector stuck his head out of the window...
