In the taxi, Eijiro Kita turned his head and looked at the man riding a motorcycle.
The man glanced at him, then hit the accelerator, rode his motorcycle, and disappeared at the end of the street like lightning.
"Judge!"
"It's the God of Death..."
The names called by red shirt and frogman at the moment of the gunshot were completely different.
The two men chased him out together.
【Judge? 】
【grim Reaper?
【What the hell? 】
In the basement of a Nara apartment, three question marks appeared in small holes one after another.
"There is actually something you haven't heard of..."
Gu Xing turned the next page of "Eijiro Kita's Collection of Weird Taxi Stories" that was being broadcast live.
"The legendary figure in Dongdu, the Lone Ranger, was said to be a dead agent of the FBI Japan branch, but he later came back to life for unknown reasons.
Specializing in assassinating criminals, gangsters, plutocrats, etc. who have committed the most heinous crimes.
This man hates evil as much as he hates it, and his methods are cruel and pungent.
Those who worship him call him the Judge, others call him the Grim Reaper.
The police in Dongdu surrounded him many times and even caught him, but in the end he escaped.
Those chaebols and gangsters hated him so much that they placed high price bounties on his head all year round, but they still had no choice but to do anything to him.
However, the deeds of this character are only circulated in small circles such as the police, gangs, and chaebols. It seems to be the result of a joint blockade by all parties.
Weird, people from our police station said that he has been active in the Dongdu area all year round and rarely leaves there... Moreover, the person he dealt with this time was just a fried chicken shop owner..."
[Won’t Dongdu’s Bizarre Investigation Section take action? Many of those weird investigators should be proficient in supernatural powers, so they can’t catch him.]
"That's not clear."
【Oh...how about you】
"Um?"
[Do you call him the Judge or the God of Death? 】
"What do you think?" Gu Xing's eyes flashed, "If I were there, I would probably rush up to ask for an autograph."
[Hmm...this person's aura is very unusual]
"By the way," Gu Xing said, "What do you think the outcome of tonight will be?"
【Um? 】
"The battle between Eijiro and [Mark]——didn't Red Shirt analyze three outcomes?"
[Oh...if it had been like before, Eijiro would probably have no chance]
"before?"
[Yes, it was quite difficult before eating Koda]
[Although it is said that the natural rule of grotesque humanoids is half a block higher, but that is when the large rule levels are at the same level. For example, the D- rule of grotesque humanoids is definitely stronger than the D- rule of grotesque objects, and maybe even more powerful than the objects. Weird D+ is stronger]
[But if the humanoid grotesque E+ wants to deal with the item grotesque D-, it will be very difficult]
[You should know that Koda’s mental strength is quite good, right? 】
"Well, isn't it true that even ghosts are afraid of him?"
[Yes, do you know that san is worth it? 】
"Uh... I vaguely seem to have heard it somewhere."
This time it seemed that some of Gu Xing's memories had been awakened... His head ached slightly.
[The san value is Sanity, which is the sanity value]
[The higher the mental strength, the higher the upper limit of san value]
[The level of sanity determines whether mortals can keep a calm mind and find solutions to the weirdness]
[The higher the san value, the more sane you can stay amidst the weird rules]
[Do you remember that when Koda first faced the face of Haye on the delivery boy’s neck, he didn’t seem as nervous as ordinary people. He was even in the mood to go fishing at the lake. This is a sign of his strong mental strength.]
[This is also the reason why ghosts are afraid of Koda]
[You know, what Koda saw was the face of Haye, the origin of the monstrous form of domestic violence. The fear that Hayae brings to the trigger person is doubled. The impact of fear that Koda felt was much stronger than that of other trigger persons]
[So, after swallowing Koda, Eijiro’s rules have been strengthened a lot. Although I didn’t break through to D level all at once, there was only a thin film left.]
【You know...so now...】
"Eijiro wins for sure?"
[Are you kidding? It all depends on luck. Everyone has their own winning rate. "Mark" has a higher probability of winning. After all, its rules give it the upper hand]
[However, Eijiro’s advantage is that he just found Yosuke and threw a coin into his son’s bowl. With the blessing of happy buf, the power of the rules has been increased, so the result is difficult to say]
"oh……"
What I said for a long time is like saying nothing.
Anyway, the worst outcome is to prepare to pay for your life and fulfill Eijirou's rules.
Gu Xing hugged the book and continued reading——
[Not long after the judge left, a modified car sped past and chased him in the direction where he disappeared...]
After modifying the car, Hong Shi also chased after the judge.
"What are you doing?" Saury shouted, "You can't catch him! They've been catching him in Dongdu for so many years... they haven't even hurt that guy's hair."
The red shirt had turned into a red shadow and flashed far away to the street.
"I finally met my idol in Lidu," she said in a fiery voice, "How can I give up without a signature!"
Saury patted his forehead and turned to look at Kawamoto Renpachi.
At this moment, Kawamoto Jinpachi, with a big hole in his forehead and his face covered in blood, staggered up from the ground and got into the taxi...
"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 your life and love..."
Soft melody echoed in the carriage.
Kawamoto Renpachi looked out the window, the red rain was like rainwater mixed with hot sauce from a fried chicken restaurant.
In the rain and fog, he saw a little girl with a delicate face, standing in the rain without an umbrella, looking at him, very beautiful and artistic.
This reminded Kawamoto Renpachi of the ragged little girl who walked into the store alone one night that autumn.
Although she is dressed simply, the little girl is so pretty and lovely.
Kawamoto Renpachi provided the little girl with a free set of his signature fried chicken.
While the little girl was eating fried chicken, Kawamoto Renpachi kicked all the store employees out...
That night was wonderful and unforgettable. It is more unforgettable than many times before.
"parking!"
Kawamoto Renpachi said to the driver: "Didn't you see that little girl is still soaking in the rain? Let her get in the car quickly... No matter where she goes, I will pay the fare."
The driver ignored him completely and continued to drive forward.
"asshole……"
Kawamoto Jinpachi cursed and said: "Can any deaf-mute person be a taxi driver now?"
With extreme regret, Kawamoto Renpachi looked out the window, and the little girl gradually disappeared into the rain and fog behind the car window.
Kawamoto Renpachi suddenly felt that his face was wet. How could this happen? Is it because of the rainy day? I don't care, it doesn't matter.
There have been too many troubles recently...
For example, the business in the store is not very good.
For another example, my friend Imada Chaoichi recently came to him to pay off his debt.
When he heard the other party say that his wife was terminally ill and needed a large sum of money to pay for treatment, Kawamoto Renpachi felt that the sky above his head was falling.
What to do with the fried chicken restaurant, how to run the business, how to support the wife and children... What to do with the little girls who want to eat fried chicken but don't have a penny.
If the money is returned, Kawamoto Renpachi will lose everything.
Otherwise... let Imada-kun never come to you again.
All it takes is a natural traffic accident at the right time, just like Kawamoto Hitoshi did more than eighty years ago.
No.
Even if Imada Koichi leaves this world forever, her wife will definitely know about Kawamoto Renpachi's debt and will eventually come to her door.
By that time, if another car accident occurs, it will inevitably make people suspicious.
A crazy idea came to Kawamoto Renpachi's mind - just end it once and for all, so that everyone would have no worries.
Imada-kun's wife no longer has to endure the torture of a terminal illness, and his son no longer has to worry about heavy schoolwork every day. Everyone is happy.
Yes, it is like that. However, they have to plan carefully, how to manipulate the car without anyone noticing, and they have to choose a time when they are traveling together as a family, and they have to be in an area with complicated and dangerous road conditions...
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, Kawamoto Renpachi was thinking hard.
Looking at the scene outside the window, it seems that we have arrived somewhere near the entrance of a highway.
By the way, why did he get in a taxi?
How could he be willing to take a taxi if it was so expensive?
Is it because I owe a large amount of money to my friend, so I plan to run away overnight?
Wait...what's the name of his friend?
"Well……"
Kawamoto Renpachi murmured, "I seem to have forgotten something...what exactly did I forget?"
"Maybe,"
The driver turned his head and looked over, his lips curled up, "Maybe he forgot to be grateful."
The moment he heard these words, Kawamoto Renpachi suddenly woke up.
A sharp pain centered on the forehead and spread rapidly to all parts of the body.
He touched his forehead with trembling hands.
Slimy, I touched a big hole that made me extremely scared.
The rotten flesh burst open and the skull was pierced by bullets.
I remembered. Kawamoto Renpachi remembered everything.
The scary taxi targeted him.
He called the police, and investigators from the special branch of the police headquarters came to his rescue.
But why wasn't he saved?
A scene flashed through Kawamoto Renpachi’s mind——
A man with a scythe of death emblazoned on his chest was riding a motorcycle and got stuck between himself and a taxi.
He took out his gun and put it against Kawamoto Renpachi's head.
"boom!"
Blood flowers bloom.
At that time, Kawamoto Renpachi was so frightened that all the hair on his body froze.
Even so, even with flowers on his head, did he survive...
What a blessing and destiny.
Who saved me, was it this taxi?
You have to thank him properly and make him some of the store's signature fried chicken. Kawamoto Jinpachi is not the kind of ungrateful person.
At this time, a transparent sticker suddenly lit up on Kawamoto Renpachi's back.
The next moment, the world was spinning.
Kawamoto Jinpachi seems to be floating on the edge of time and space.
When the surrounding scene became clear again, Kawamoto Renpachi appeared under the streetlight on the street near his home.
came back……
It was here just now that Kawamoto Renpachi was shot by a man on a motorcycle, and then got into a taxi.
The investigator named Saury from the police headquarters was standing not far away.
Yes, it was the saury that used that sticker to summon him back, right?
I have to thank them very much!
This escape was all thanks to this highly skilled investigator. Make sure your wife serves the store’s most signature fried chicken! If you want the freshest, never use gutter oil, never use the kind of chicken with sixteen wings and eight legs!
"Lord Saury!"
Kawamoto Renpachi waved to Saury from a distance, "Thank you! Thank you for saving me!"
Saury, however, completely ignored Kawamoto Renpachi.
Is it because it's too dark and the distance is too far, so I can't see clearly?
Kawamoto Renpachi staggered towards Saury and came to him, "Lord Saury, thank you! If it weren't for you, I would be dead."
Saury, however, regarded him as nothing, and just looked down at the comics.
"Asshole, you're just a great investigator. Who are you looking down on?" Kawamoto Jinpachi said angrily.
After a while, Saury suddenly raised his head, took out his mobile phone and checked the time, then looked at the street light on the other side and murmured:
"It's strange. It's almost time for Kawamoto Renpachi to come back, but why can't he see anyone at all?"
Kao Muraoka on the side said: "Is it possible that the taxi rules have been completed again?"
"Maybe," Qiu Saury lowered his head and opened the comic again, "If you don't come back after another half hour, you can go back to the headquarters and write a trial and error analysis."
"I'm here!"
Kawamoto Jinpachi pointed at his nose and shouted loudly: "Open your dead fish eyes and look at me carefully, how alive I am!"
At this time, the transparent sticker on his back flashed again, and a painful tearing sensation came to his bones.
"ah!"
Kawamoto Renpachi howled in pain and almost fainted.
The surrounding space became distorted.
When the severe pain disappeared, Kawamoto Renpachi sat in the taxi again.
There was still red rain outside the window. Looking at the scene in the distance, it seemed that we were in front of a toll booth on a certain highway.
The taxi stopped.
"Jinba-san,"
The driver turned his head and looked at him gloomily, "I would like to say hello to you on behalf of Imada Asahi."
A wave of fear swept over Kawamoto Renpachi.
His expression became numb, he opened the car door, stiffly stepped out of the car, and walked towards the entrance of the toll station.
There, Kawamoto Renpachi saw two blue-gray corpses.
"When will it be the end..."
Koda Manami was lying in the center of the passage, thinking in great pain.
Even if he was run over by countless vehicles every day, there was still lying next to him... a senior official from the police headquarters who had the face of his wife and looked at him with hatred in his eyes.
This face was so terrifying that every time Koda Manami looked at it, he felt a little bit of his sanity being sucked away, and a feeling of fear that penetrated his bone marrow came over him.
If your sanity is drained one day, you will probably go crazy...
Koda hopes that he will go crazy quickly, then there will be no worries. But in fact, his sanity value recovered very quickly, and it would rise quickly after being scared away.
As a result, Koda fell into an endless cycle of losing his rationality - rising - falling again - and rising again. too painful.
Koda Manami thought about it carefully, and Wakayama Masashi seemed to come here because of his resentment. So, after all, it was he who brought it upon himself...retribution.
And the toll collector who poked her head out of the toll window from time to time... I don't know what she originally looked like.
I heard that the female toll collectors at toll stations are quite pretty.
But ever since Koda Manami came here, the toll collector’s neck has been pressed against his wife’s face. It’s painful!
Fortunately, in the past few days, Koda Manami has gradually found a way to overcome his fear——
He worked hard for a long time, and finally he could make his stiff neck move flexibly.
In this way, his head can be turned to the other side where Wakayama Masashi is not present at any time.
After turning his head away, not only Wakayama Masashi couldn't see, but even the toll collector couldn't see. He could finally say googbye to his wife's terrifying face...
At this time, a dark shadow was cast.
A man who smelled disgustingly of fried chicken lay down.
The man turned his head stiffly and looked at Koda Manami.
His wife's face was revealed, covered in blood and with a big hole on her forehead...
