At the entrance of the memorial hall, a man in a bamboo hat looked at Izawa's mother and said in a low voice:
"follow me."
After he finished speaking, it started to rain on the roof.
The rain fell on Izawa's mother, and soon she melted into a pool of blood.
On the table in the sacrificial hall, the tablet with the name Yamaura instantly exploded and shattered into a ball of powder, floating around the room like a haze.
The man in the bamboo hat turned and left.
Without saying a word, he climbed onto the roof of the taxi and lay down.
Fujino, who was flipping through a book at the side, looked over at him, but he turned a blind eye.
He took off his bamboo hat, took off his poncho, and lay down like a big man.
Looking at the sky, the man in the bamboo hat let the rain hit his face.
Raindrops slid down his cheeks like grotesque tears.
…
Crow's doorstep.
Another man in a bamboo hat stood there grotesquely, like a sculpture, raising a hand and not moving for a long time.
He almost reached out and knocked on the door, but stopped just before death came.
After a while, the rain gradually stopped.
A sad sigh came from the sky.
A thin crack appeared in the dark sky. It gradually expanded and turned into a huge bloody cave.
In the cave, a red eye looked towards the direction of the town, then closed it and disappeared.
A flash of red light flashed from the cave, and the weird man in a bamboo hat standing at the door of Crow's house disappeared immediately.
In the living room, the four women who had been unable to move regained control of their bodies.
They looked at each other, wondering what happened.
"Did the old lady help?" the Holy Son said.
"It doesn't look like it," Red Shirt replied, "Isn't her body still lying here... Besides, that weirdo didn't even knock on the door."
"Then...could it be Gu Xingjun's side..."
Several people thought at the same time that maybe Gu Xing was killed by a strange bamboo hat in another place, so he saved everyone's life.
This is very likely to happen.
Thinking of this, both Hong Shi and Sheng Zi's expressions looked unhappy.
They ran out of the house, left the house, and ran toward the town. Crow and Mayi also followed.
Hong Shi ran at the front, thinking in his heart: Gu Xing, I would be really sorry if you died like this. That night at your house, I had the opportunity to turn you into a scapegoat, but I just didn't have the heart to do it... If you were to die like this, you might as well be my scapegoat. But... a good person like you shouldn't have such a short life, right?
The Holy Son followed behind Hong Shi, but because of his physical strength, he was falling further and further behind. Her mind was in chaos, remembering many things since she met Gu Xing, and the time in front of the Nara apartment when Kumada Nobuhiko rushed towards her and Gu Xing blocked her.
She thought to herself that if Gu Xingjun could survive, anything would be fine, no matter how outrageous and unbearable it was... She was willing to follow Xingjun's wishes, maintain a polite distance between colleagues from now on, and never disturb each other again. .
A few people ran for unknown distance when they suddenly saw a familiar figure walking over from the other end of the street.
"Gu...Gu Xingjun?"
The Holy Son first called out the other person's name.
Gu Xing also saw them and waved towards them.
The Holy Son saw it and almost cried with joy.
"You bastard!"
Hong Shi was the first to run up and punch Gu Xing in the chest. The power was controlled just right, neither too light nor too heavy. "We all thought you were dead. It's great to be dead!"
Gu Xing touched his chest muscles, which were firm and as hard as stones, but he wasn't angry either.
The Holy Son also ran over.
The violent exercise made her face flushed and she was gasping for air. She looked at Gu Xing, her face full of rejoicing and joy, but she seemed to be worried about something and didn't dare to get too close, and she hesitated to speak.
"Gu Xing," Hong Shi asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"I don't quite understand either,"
Gu Xing looked confused, "I rushed to Izawa's house, and as soon as I saw Izawa's wife, Weird in a bamboo hat knocked on the door..."
"Mrs. Izawa?"
"Oh," Gu Xing explained: "You probably don't know, but the Holy Son knows. The main purpose of our coming to Yinnan Town this time is to find Mrs. Izawa..."
Then he narrated from the perspective of a bystander the things about the death row inmate Izawa, the wife of Izawa who was the wife of the murderer of the man in the hat, and the scene that just happened, including the tablet engraved with Yamaura's name.
This is a very objective narrative. Gu Xing didn't lie, but he didn't tell everything either.
In fact, Gu Xing sent the weird guy in the hat who knocked on the door at Jingzawa's house.
It was a critical moment, and Gu Xing suddenly thought: Since the monster in the bamboo hat he took in was the prototype of the story of the monster in the trial ground, then if the prototype of the story saw the woman he had been looking for, would it also mean that the monster in the trial ground had met? The answer? In a sense, this should also be an answer, right?
At that time, there was not much time left before the grotesque knocking on Crow's door in the trial field. In addition, there was no other choice. Gu Xing immediately had the mentality of giving it a try and summoned the grotesque hat. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be...
Of course, Hong Shi couldn't understand why the weird hat suddenly appeared in Mrs. Izawa's house.
The four women discussed it and came to this conclusion——
Since Mrs. Izawa was the woman that the man in the hat was looking for, Gu Xing solved the mystery the moment he saw Mrs. Izawa, and it was not surprising that the man in the hat appeared there instantly.
In short, this problem has a reasonable explanation, and it seems that this trial field can be passed safely.
However, there are still several doubts about the whole matter that remain unsolved.
First, is the daughter of the man in the bamboo hat, the Yamaura clan, still alive?
If alive, where did she go? Why did the residents of the town forget where she went? Is it really because of the [Weird Reincarnator]? After the trial ground is over, [Weird Reincarnator] will probably no longer target this town. Can we ask the truth from the residents at that time?
Secondly, since the weirdo in the hat has killed everyone in the town, why does he continue to look for Mrs. Izawa? Mrs. Izawa said that she remarried, why has no one ever seen her husband? What role did Mrs. Izawa play in the tragedy of killing Guo Liwei and imprisoning her daughter?
Third, why did the weird hat target the Crow family? Why does he have to knock on Crow's door every time he shows up?
Fourth, where did the triggermen go except for the masked ninja? Were they really killed by the monsters in the bamboo hat? What kind of killing rules did they trigger?
There are many questions, and most of them cannot be answered.
"Hey, forget it, don't think about it if you can't think clearly,"
Red Shirt looked at the confused people, "What kind of training ground for the [Weird Reincarnator] doesn't leave a few unsolved mysteries... It's normal."
Everyone was relieved, but Crow frowned, seeming to still be thinking about the details.
Gu Xing actually already knows some of the answers to these unsolved mysteries.
The answer lies in that book called The Crucible. After Mrs. Izawa melted, the original story of seventeen years ago finally appeared in the text of "The Furnace"——
The man in the bamboo hat is named Yamaura clan, and the daughter is named Yamaura Nobuko. Because the house in his hometown was on fire, his wife passed away, and the store where he had been working had also fired Mr. Yamaura, so he wanted to go to Lidu with his daughter to make a living. On the way, we passed this small town.
What happened next was basically consistent with what the old woman said. What needs special explanation is:
After the murderer died violently, Nobuko Yamaura lost her memory of the past under the influence of the ghost of the man in the bamboo hat, and was adopted by a family... Of course, Yamaura wanted her daughter to let go of the past and move forward happily.
It is a pity that because of the heavy resentment during his lifetime, the man in the bamboo hat later changed from a ghost to a monster. This kind of thing doesn't happen very often... So, a lot of unfortunate things happen.
Later, the only person in the town who was not killed by the strange hat was actually Mrs. Izawa.
There is no very clear explanation in the book as to why Mrs. Izawa survived, but it is only vaguely mentioned that the man in the bamboo hat, Mr. Yamaura, is a grotesque of cause and effect in a certain sense. To solve the monstrosity of cause and effect, one must start from the theory of cause and effect.
After the death of the man in the bamboo hat, Mrs. Izawa carved the man's name on the memorial tablet. She sincerely and solemnly worshiped him every day, sincerely repented, ate fasting, chanted Buddha's name and prayed so that the man could resolve his resentment and leave this world with peace of mind, without interruption for seventeen years.
Such an action seems to have achieved the conditions for cracking the weirdness of causality on a certain level, making the Yamaura family unable to sense her existence.
However, the murderer has been punished as he deserves, but the murderer's accomplice is still alive and well.
No matter how helpless Mrs. Izawa was at the time and how pious her confession afterwards was, she could not let Mr. Yamaura leave with peace of mind. This also caused Mr. Yamaura to stay in Yinnan Town, always looking for "Xun".
As for what Mrs. Izawa did when Izawa killed the Yamaura clan and abused the little girl. And, who is that little girl and where did she go?
Gu Xing decided to keep these past events and secrets sealed forever——
Gu Xing felt that no one knew the pain, despicableness and cruelty of the past, but it was the tenderness and kindness towards the survivors who were still alive.
Let that girl continue to be as she thinks she is now, as she thinks she is still pure at this moment and has good memories, continue to be full of hope, face the rising sun, and move forward lightly.
Just as it should be.
"Lord Red Shirt, the trial field should be considered over, right?" The Holy Son asked Red Shirt, "But why are we still here?"
"Oh," said the red shirt: "Sometimes there is a delay, and the triggerer will stay in the trial ground for a period of time. However, during this period, weirdness will not come to the door, and even the triggerers cannot conflict with each other, otherwise there will be Obliterated. So,"
The red shirt made a scissor hand gesture with excitement on his face, "I want to tell you some good news. From now on, we are safe! Each of us can get out of this death trial safely and smoothly, without missing arms or legs. La!"
"Long live!" Only the Holy Son cheered as he danced with the red shirt.
After dark, it started to rain again.
The residents of the town turned into red-eyed zombies and walked out of their houses.
The rain falls on them like clay sculptures, and their bodies melt away bit by bit.
At the last moment of their lives, they woke up, realized their situation, and realized that this was the ghost of the Yamaura family who was causing trouble.
They remembered everything, the horrific past seventeen years ago, the poor ghost who had begged them to rescue their daughter in his sleep, and the time when they rejected the ghost because they heard that Izawa was once a murderer. Cowardice and fear.
They thought about their life like a walking corpse over the years, and realized that this was the cycle of fate and retribution. Finally, before being completely melted into a puddle of mud by the rain, they issued their most sincere apologies and repentance to the soul who died unjustly. Although, it's too late.
On the streets of the town, balls of flesh mixed with blood were scattered everywhere, like the wounds of a pistol on a person's body, and like the red wild flowers blooming on the grass on a rainy day.
"Let's build a tombstone for that man," said the crow.
Needless to say, everyone present knew that the crow was talking about the Yamaura clan, the monstrosity that killed her entire family. Building a tombstone for an enemy is something only a crow can say is appropriate.
"You don't hate him anymore?" Gu Xing suddenly asked.
"Hate." Crow said, "Still hate."
However, she still took the lead in erecting a tombstone for Mr. Yamaura.
She was once extremely afraid of knocking on the door, and even when she heard these three words, her soul was trembling. But when she mustered up all the courage to return to the town, all the fears and fears about the past were stepped on under her feet.
From now on, she could face every weird thing that came knocking at her door. She will strive to become the grotesque nightmare of all the disorderly murders in this world.
Therefore, the tombstone in front of me was also erected for those weird people who knock on the door.
The bones of Mr. Yamaura were no longer found. The crow found a brand new bamboo hat and buried it in the grave.
When the monument was being erected, the rain stopped again, and Mr. Yamaura stood under a big tree not far away. His face full of scars was full of sadness. His eyes that seemed to be quite impressive for a certain period of time darkened again, and gradually become hollow.
"call--"
From the bloody cave in the sky, a breath of turbid air was exhaled.
"Here we come!" Hong Shi's expression was a little excited and a little nervous.
"how?"
"Rewards," said the red shirt: "There will be rewards before the end of the trial field. These rewards are very useful. Who knows, if I want to survive the trial field next time, I will have to rely on it..."
"Are the rewards only given to those who trigger the trigger? Or do we all have them?" the Son asked.
"Well, not every trigger person has it. It depends on the contribution to solving the puzzle."
Red Shirt scratched his head, "As for you, to be honest, ordinary people who were involved in the trial field have survived before, but they didn't play any role in solving the puzzle, so they didn't get the reward. In your words... "
"Gu Xing,"
A low, cold, non-human voice came from the bloody cave, "Reincarnation is endless, but you have reached the end...you will have a weird clone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xing shivered all over and collapsed to the ground. There was darkness in front of him, and he felt an eye looking at him from the sky, and an illusory shadow flew towards him.
"boom!"
The blood-colored cave in the sky suddenly shook. A little, it shrank little by little and disappeared.
"Gu Xing!" The Holy Son shouted quickly.
Four women gathered around and helped Gu Xing up... Gu Xing slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Sheng Zi asked.
"It's okay," Gu Xing said, standing up and looking up and down his body, "Well, it seems like nothing..."
"Where is the weird clone?" Hong Shi asked with red eyes: "Where is it? What is its function? Can you control it?"
"Well, I have to do some research first..."
"ah--"
Hong Shi jumped up in anger, put an arm around Gu Xing's neck, and strangled him to his chest, "Why, why can even a guy like you have weird powers! You can't even be an assistant to an investigator." I don’t want to be one! What’s the use of it…”
"Hello!"
She raised her head and looked at the sky. The bloody cave had disappeared.
Hong Shi knew that it meant that [Reincarnation] had left, and she shouted loudly: "Sir Samsara, why did you give all the good things to those guys who don't need them? I really, really want to Yes, please consider me, okay!"
There was no response from the sky.
"I can pay the price,"
Hong Shi then shouted: "Love, friendship, happiness, becoming a man, I can do it all!"
"Love is not good," Crow said from the side: "You don't even have anyone you like..."
"Don't talk about me," Hong Shi said, "Do you have someone you like?"
"But what I'm paying for is my future loved one."
"Me too, I can pay for this too,"
Hong Shi pointed at Gu Xing and shouted to the sky: "Master Reincarnation, let me tell you sincerely, I actually like this man very much. Give me a weirdo so that I can never get him in my life, okay?"
"..."
At this time, there was a slight shaking between heaven and earth...
