"knew."
Dong Luo hung up the phone and stood there for a while. After that, he said to the staff of the Special Investigation Section on the side: "Book me a ticket to Dongdu."
"The next flight is in three hours," the staff member replied after checking the flight information: "Sir, we can definitely arrange a helicopter..."
"No need to waste it."
Dongluo thought for a while, "That's not a murderous monster."
After Dongluo left, the staff looked at her back and sighed: "It would be great if Master Dongluo couldn't change back... He's so gentle that he doesn't look like her."
"Everyone, please be careful, there is a surprise!"
Standing in front of an apartment building in Nara, Shiratori distributed signed photos of national idol Makoto Karasawa to his colleagues in the Criminal Division one by one.
When handing it over to each person, Shiratori also read out Karasawa Makoto's message to each person,
"Anda Jun, I saw that you were chatting with a beautiful resident when you were on duty just now. It doesn't look like you were taking notes. You have to be more serious about your work."
"I didn't!" Adachi protested solemnly, "Shiratori Police Department, please tell me, how did you slander me in front of Karasawa Makoto!"
"I've said a lot of good things about you, but you really don't live up to your expectations. The next one is... the Holy Son. Tang Zexiaojie's message to the Holy Son is——
Miss Shengzi, you will definitely become the most powerful female detective in Lidu! "
"Thank you! I will try my best!"
"Tajima-kun, I heard that you love eating sweets. This habit is very bad for your health. You must find a way to get rid of it."
"Katsuda-kun, three packs a day is too addictive. Please stop smoking, please, and think more about yourself and your family's health~"
"I'll quit smoking tonight!"
Everyone in the Criminal Classroom, who had been tense due to the busyness and tragedy all night, burst out laughing during Bai Niao's graceful chanting, and their mood gradually relaxed.
"Everyone, please keep it a secret that Ms. Karasawa Makoto is staying at the Nara apartment tonight."
"Sir, we all know this..."
There was laughter again.
"From now on,"
A colleague in the criminal department who accidentally watched a bad movie starring Karasawa Makoto in her early years and became a die-hard fan of her, and who followed her online and posted many negative posts, announced on the spot,
"I am Miss Makoto Karasawa's number one fan. I have to watch every movie of Miss Makoto Karasawa twenty times!"
"Cut~"
"Tsk tsk~"
“I emphasize again, in fact, the anti-fans are the true fans!
Among you so-called die-hard fans, which one of you has paid as much for Tangze as I have? I have received at least 2,000 bad reviews for Karasawa Makoto's "Lito Love Story" in major forums. I have been banned numerous times and still persist to this day. In order to post black posts, I have read countless various information about Ms. Karasawa. I have watched all the video materials again. Who among you knows her better than me? "
"..."
"Dear Police Officer Shiratori! We have all sent out signed photos to all of us here. Why do you still have so many photos in your hand?"
"Haha, our beloved White Bird Police Department must have used public power for private use."
"You bastards,"
Shiratori cursed, "I begged Miss Karasawa to get these autographed photos. Isn't it too much to keep a few more for myself?"
"certainly!"
"I strongly request to increase the quota for autographed photos. I also have a die-hard fan of Ms. Karasawa at home!"
"These are all photos of the owner, so just go ahead and dream!"
"Oh... you are so stingy..."
"That's it for tonight!"
Shiratiao held the photo in his hand tightly and waved, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, I will rest tomorrow morning and come back to work later in the afternoon. I approve!"
"Long live!"
After the disbandment, it was about four o'clock in the morning, Gu Xing and Shengzi got into the same taxi...
"Gu Xingjun,"
The Holy Son sat in the back row, "I can do it myself, you really don't need to send me off."
Seeing the serious expression on Shengzi's face, Gu Xing became more and more certain that it was most likely a coincidence that Shengzi moved to the opposite door... Now the question came, how to explain this coincidence to Shengzi.
"Son……"
"Um."
"There is something I think it would be better to tell you earlier."
"Um?"
"It seems like we two are going to be neighbors again..."
"ah!"
In the front row, Kita Eijiro tilted his head slightly and glanced over.
There was some very restrained surprise on the face of the Holy Son.
Zao Hui, who was sitting on the other side, was still looking lovingly at Gu Xing, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Eijiro turned on the radio, and Kenshi Yonezu's fireworks sounded in the car——
"きっとまだEnd(お)わらない夏(なつ)が
It must be the time when summer is not over yet
Ambiguous(あいまい)な心(こころ)を解(と)かして性(つな)いだ
Untie the ambiguous knots and connect them tightly
この夜(よる)が続(つづ)いてdesire(ほ)しかった
May this night never end like this
「あと多(なんど)君(きみ)と同(おな)じ花火(はなび)を见(み)られるかな」って
How many times can I watch fireworks like this with you~"
Under the bright moonlight, a taxi drove toward the end of the street.
On the roof of the car, Fujino and Kita Yosuke sat back to back, looking at the bright moon above their heads...
"Good night!"
"See you tomorrow!"
After sending the Holy Son home, Gu Xing returned to his house.
As soon as he opened the door, in the chaos of darkness, Nobuhiko Kumada, with his mouth cut to the base of his ear, rushed forward.
His big mouth swallowed Gu Xing's head, but after swallowing it, it had no effect.
Pounce again...still the same...
Gu Xing ignored him and grabbed the newly released "Collection of Strange Stories about Cannibalism by Kumada Nobuhiko, the Cannibal in the Ghost Mist" from Fujino's hand.
The title everyone else can see is "The Garden of Ogres," by French author Leila Slimani. Gu Xing read this book when I was in college.
Gu Xing still remembers what Adele's husband said to her in the book -
"You should know that you are just as mediocre as us. If one day you can accept such mediocrity, you will be much happier than you are now."
At this time, Gu Xing felt that mediocrity was not scary, but numbness was fatal. That would make one's life be led by a string like a puppet. For example, if he himself is not alert at all times, he may be led by a small hole and walk into hell step by step. Gu Xing will never surrender.
"I suddenly thought of a question,"
Gu Xing looked at a book on the bookshelf and said to Xiaodong:
"Look at the names of these books, Grandma's "Grandma Ji Chun", Fujino's "Dark Gold Choujima-kun", Eijiro's "The Speed of Life and Death", Yosuke's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", Haye's "Don't Talk to Me" "Stranger Speaks," and "The Garden of Ogres," which came out tonight, are these books too closely related to their corresponding grotesques?"
[Are you afraid of what someone would think of after seeing it? 】
"I was a little worried when the red shirt came last time,"
Gu Xing said, "Fortunately she just came to drink."
[What are you afraid of? With such a beautiful bookshelf and so many collections with a great sense of achievement, it would be a pity that only you can see it, right? 】
"While we're moving, let's make this bookshelf invisible to others."
Gu Xing decided directly, "I know it can be done as long as you pay a little lifespan, right?"
【snort】
【I won't】
After a while, the bookshelf turned into a state of transparent nothingness. The small hole clearly told Gu Xing that only he could see it now.
Invite Anda to sit at home another day and see if he can see it. Gu Xing thought.
The preface of Nobuhiko Kumada's "Collection of Weird Stories" contains his weird rules——
This is a mist-like weirdness that kills people indiscriminately.
1. Every once in a while, he will appear in a popular apartment with his own ghost mist. All creatures wrapped in the ghost mist will be difficult to escape (E-) - this is what Eijiro can take away Because of Kotake Rila, the rules for trapping people in the ghost mist are only E-.
This also shows how helpless the weird investigators who cannot grasp the power of rules are. Even if they only need to master the rules of E-, they can hope to lead the residents to escape from the ghost fog, but this is a huge chasm.
2. He likes to walk up and down the apartment, eating a random house on each floor. All humans who see his face will be eaten by him bite by bite (C)
3. He exudes an attraction from the soul. As long as you get close to a certain distance around him, you will look at him unconsciously (E).
4. Never step on his bloody footprints (C-)...
5. People who walk out of the corridor without authorization...
6.……
Gu Xing finally understood that every weird thing was actually a permutation and combination of a complex set of rules. The closer the coordination between the rules, the harder it would be to find loopholes in the rules.
When the weirdos complete the rules, they are actually constantly optimizing and improving the power of these permutations and combinations.
Turning to the main text of the book, the first half records the past of three people, Nobuhiko Kumada, Yuki Hanaoka, and Hitoko Obayashi, who investigated bizarre cases together. To be honest, this is a sad story.
Gu Xing couldn't bear to see the end. The book also records something that even Dalin Tongzi may not know about——
In fact, both Kumada Nobuhiko and Hanaoka Yuki deeply like Obayashi Hitomi, and it is not an ordinary love. Gu Xing even felt that this kind of liking could rise to the level of love.
Dalin Tongzi didn't know. But Kumada Nobuhiko and Hanaoka Yuki actually know the identities of each other's opposite-sex love rivals.
This can also explain why Kumada Nobuhiko sacrificed his life to save him several times, why Hanaoka Yuki sacrificed his life for Obayashi Hitomi before dying, and why Obayashi Hitomi became the only investigator who could walk freely in the ghost mist of Kumada Nobuhiko. .
The three people jointly investigated many bizarre incidents. They are all people with a strong sense of justice and love life. However, it is really a pity that they ended up with this result.
[Needless to say...according to your personality, it is most likely impossible to release Kumada Nobuhiko...]
Of course.
Gu Xing looked at Nobuhiko Kumada, who was sitting on his knees by the floor-to-ceiling window of the apartment, holding his chin and staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky. After swallowing Gu Xing dozens of times to no avail, Nobuhiko Kumada finally accepted his fate. .
The floor-to-ceiling windows of Gu Xing's new home are really big, and the scenery outside the windows is unobstructed.
The look of the ogre sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wrapped in the silver moonlight, has a desolate and beautiful artistic conception, like a painting.
However, Gu Xing's original plan was to make the balcony in front of the floor-to-ceiling window a tea table for himself to drink tea and make coffee... Now it is occupied by the ogre with a slit mouth, and he really doesn't have the appetite to drink from Kumada Nobuhiko Coffee and snacks... Asshole, this guy, will he be nailed to the balcony from now on...
Tomato free reading
[By the way, I think you can put Nobuhiko Kumada in a prison, especially a prison that holds serious criminals... Wow, that kind of scene is very exciting just thinking about it... let him eat murderers, this should be Is it more in line with your values? 】
It seems possible, but not necessary.
In a situation where weird things are rampant, almost all serious criminals have signed trial and error contracts with special investigation departments in various places. Let them try and make mistakes. It is more valuable to reduce the casualty rate of assistants and ordinary people in weird incidents. .
[Anyway...as long as it's a monstrosity that kills people randomly, it can't be released, right? Gu Xing, you are really good...]
In any case, Nobuhiko Kumada was also the first C-class monster that Gu Xing took in.
The loopholes in his own rules are actually quite large, but in Gu Xing's hands, combined with Fujino, Eijiro, Haye, and Dark Crow, he can exert greater and more complete power. This, we can slowly try to optimize the combination in the future.
After closing the book, Gu Xing looked at Fujino's book again. After opening it, he found that the rules in the preface were garbled——
"Is this a rule upgrade?"
[Almost, it seems that after devouring Kumada, Fujino will also reach C]
"Well, then stay tuned."
Soon, Eijiro Kita presented today's latest "Proposal" to take away.
Gu Xing took it and looked through it. The name of the protagonist of the proposal was——
【Uragisaburo】
"Not enough, not enough, far from enough."
"It's too far off."
"We have to make this bastard a little more miserable, a little more miserable."
Gu Xing said, taking the proposal to his desk and rewriting it himself——
[Uragisaburo's nightmare will begin from this moment...]
Behind Gu Xing, Eijiro, Haye, Fujino, Yosuke, and the new Kumada Nobuhiko gathered around, stretched their necks, and looked at Gu Xing's rewritten proposal.
"Such a scumbag must have done something ungrateful, right?"
Eijiro nodded repeatedly.
"You must have beaten your girlfriend, right?"
Hayae gave him an affirmative look.
"Isn't it too much to borrow a little loan shark interest?"
Fujino adjusted his sunglasses.
"It's normal to have your head eaten, right?"
Nobuhiko Kumada split his mouth open and reached his ears.
Only Satomi's grandma was sitting on the sofa she moved from the basement, knitting a sweater and watching the old TV. At this moment, "The Grudge" is playing on TV——
Kayako, with disheveled hair and blood on his face, climbed down the stairs. The heroine looked at her through the gap between the wooden ladder and the wall. Eerie background music...
Kayako crawled closer and closer, and the blood on his face suddenly disappeared...
"I really don't understand,"
Uragisaburo threw the remote control aside, "A crude horror movie like "The Grudge" can actually scare people. Are all the people watching the movie elementary school students? I'm really drunk."
Saburo Uragawa, who was alone in his mansion, hadn't been out for a while.
Ever since Ishizaki Chiharu's incident began to ferment on the Internet, Uragasaburo was banned from home by his mother.
Until now, Uragusaburo couldn't understand it - to be honest, it wasn't the first time that Uragusaburo threw a girl he couldn't handle into the sewers of Lito City, but he had never been grounded for this kind of thing before.
Even if something happened, his father and mother would always find a way to get him through the police investigation safely. In fact, this is not too difficult. The most important thing is to use a large amount of cash to knock the victim's family unconscious and give up their persistence in finding the truth.
Since the victim's family will no longer pursue the rest of the matter, the police will not be too harsh on people like them. All troubles that can be solved with money cannot be called troubles. This statement couldn't be more true.
So this time, Uragasaburo was very uncomfortable with it. Things have already happened, the scapegoat has been found, and the police have identified him, so why are they still confining him in a boring bedroom? Is it because the current situation of the family is not very good and the cash provided is not enough? Then go make money... I really don’t understand what my parents think. After watching these horror movies countless times, they are really not scary anymore, okay?
"It's really rubbish."
Uragusaburo pressed the stop button, got up from the sofa, and walked to the bathroom, "These movie-making artists must have their brains filled with water. They keep filming routines that they have seen a thousand times, and they still think they are very good." Gao Ming, can’t you have something fresh?”
This afternoon, Uragisaburo's good friend Kubo Shoichi will come to visit, which is also approved by his mother. Kubo Xiangyi claimed that he would definitely bring a young and beautiful girl who is very obedient. However, my mother repeatedly warned that a case like Chiharu Ishizaki must never happen again...
To be honest, in recent years, Uragusaburo has become less interested in obedient girls. Only girls like Ishizaki Chiharu who are particularly pure, whose resistance is particularly fierce, and who are very real are interesting.
However, given Urasaburo's current situation, he could only make do with it.
Just come with whatever you have. Those who are more obedient will have the pleasure of being obedient. The worst thing is, wait until you get out and then... find some girls who already have boyfriends and really like their boyfriends, like Chiharu, which will definitely bring a different kind of excitement.
Entering the bathroom, Uragazaburo finished urinating, went to the sink to clean up, and raised his head. In the mirror, he saw the face of Ishizaki Chiharu on his neck...
