[4000-word chapter] Chapter 99 Lock the taxi and 'The Shining'
"Is it the police headquarters?"
"No, it's not the police station of any district... I'm just looking for the headquarters."
"The police department can't solve my problems!"
"Yes, yes, it's the kind of unbelievable and bizarre thing that requires the special department of the police to intervene."
"You tell them it's a taxi, and that taxi is coming to find me! Let them find me quickly, otherwise I will be finished."
"I can't go to the headquarters...because I can't go out. If I go out, I might encounter a taxi!"
"Quick, must be fast, very fast! I probably won't be able to hold on for long!"
After hanging up the alarm call, fried chicken restaurant owner Kawamoto Jinpachi was still feeling uneasy.
This situation started when he was having breakfast today. He took a bite of natto, and then his heart seemed to be grabbed by someone's hands, and it hurt.
He instinctively felt danger, as if being stared at by a pair of dangerous eyes.
Since the design sent his friend's family to the crematorium in a car accident, Kawamoto Renpachi's sixth sense has become particularly keen, and he can often foresee possible dangers in advance. Therefore, he has escaped certain death several times.
.
But this time the danger is completely different from the past. It is not the kind of death appointment that can be avoided by going out at another time.
Kawamoto Renpachi almost immediately remembered the strange taxi legend that has been circulating among the people of Lidu for a long time.
It is said that that taxi takes away an ungrateful person every day.
Kawamoto Renpachi was very sensitive to the word ungrateful, so he searched a lot of legends and stories about that taxi on the Internet, as well as various details. He even privately contacted the family members and friends of those people who were said to have been taken away to learn more about it.
More detailed situation.
Unlike those who follow others' opinions, Kawamoto Renpachi is already very sure that the legend of the taxi is absolutely true.
Moreover, at that time, he had a strong premonition that the car would find him sooner or later.
Therefore, Kawamoto Renpachi immediately started moving. Unexpectedly, on the morning when he was about to leave Lidu, signs of death came.
It's absolutely impossible to move. It's probably useless to run into outer space if you're locked in that kind of aura.
Kawamoto Jinpachi had already figured out where to call the police when encountering such weird things. Now, he only had to wait for those special people from the police headquarters to protect him.
Damn it, if I had known about the existence of such weird and weird taxis, I wouldn't have planned that car accident in the first place.
But what can Kawamoto Renpachi do?
The friend suddenly asked him to repay the money, so urgently, and for such a large amount... Unless the fried chicken restaurant was transferred, Kawamoto Jinpachi would not be able to repay it at all.
Of course, Kawamoto Renpachi also understands his friend's difficulties. Her wife is suddenly terminally ill and needs to pay high medical bills as soon as possible. Her son goes to a private elementary school, and the tuition is not cheap.
But Kawamoto Renpachi’s life was not easy either.
He also had to support his wife and children. The whole family relied on the meager income from the fried chicken restaurant for food and drink. After the restaurant was transferred, they had no choice but to eat and drink.
Kawamoto Jinpachi had no shame in rejecting his friend's request for repayment. After all, he promised with a pat on his chest that as long as his friend needed money, he would send the money the next day. If he didn't repay the debt, wouldn't he become a treacherous person?
People point at their spines and curse.
After receiving a call from his friend requesting repayment, Kawamoto Hitachi stayed up all night.
Around early in the morning, he finally figured it out - it would be better to let his friend and his family die unexpectedly.
In this way, his friend's wife's terminal illness no longer needs treatment, his son's high tuition fees do not need to be paid, and Kawamoto Hitachi's family's source of income can be preserved, all in one fell swoop.
This crazy idea swirled in his mind like an obsession until two days later, his friend's family fell under a highway cliff east of Lidu due to brake failure.
After learning the bad news, Kawamoto Renpachi's crazy energy gradually calmed down.
But who would have thought that just a few days after the peaceful days, terrible trouble would come to the door again.
"Dong dong dong——"
There was a knock on the door.
Kawamoto Renpachi shivered all over and walked to the door tremblingly: "Who is it?"
"Kawamoto Jinpachi?" A young man's voice came from outside.
"I am."
"Did you call the police?"
"Yes, I called the police!"
"It's such a big name," the man outside said, "Let the investigator come to you and open the door."
Through the peephole, Kawamoto Renpachi carefully identified the people outside the door - there were two of them, one was looking down at a comic, wearing a dirty sweatshirt and ripped jeans.
The other one wore a straight suit and looked quite serious.
"Can you show me the IDs of the next two people?"
No matter what, it's always right to be careful. What if you can save your life because of your caution this time?
"Oh, you are really cautious."
The man in a suit shook his ID at the peephole.
Hanao Muraoka...assistant investigator?
"Where is he?" Kawamoto Jinpachi looked at the man who was reading comics.
"You can also see Mr. Saury's ID?"
Can this careless person be considered an adult? Forget it, there is no other way. The one who needs help now is Kawamoto Jinpachi.
He said quickly:
"Oh, alright!"
After respectfully inviting the two of them into the room, Kawamoto Renpachi served the best tea at home without waiting to introduce the situation.
Kao Muraoka got straight to the point and said:
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what ungrateful things you did."
As expected of an assistant investigator, he really hit the nail on the head. With such a straightforward personality, I guess he is very reliable in handling matters.
The assistants are all so amazing, it seems like he can be saved. Kawamoto Jinpachi thought to himself.
"I really didn't mean it,"
Kawamoto Renpachi said pitifully: "Originally, I was going to pay back the money to my good friend the next day, but who would have thought that their family had a car accident while traveling in the valley the day before... How could this be blamed on me...
…This taxi is too inhumane…”
"How are you sure the taxi will find you tonight?" Muraoka Kao asked.
"Feeling," Kawamoto Jinpachi said impatiently, fearing that the other party would think that he was lying about the military situation: "Believe me, my sixth sense is very accurate. I felt that the driver's gloomy eyes were always staring at me. He made a decision with me.
The appointment of death is tonight."
"It's too mysterious..."
Hanao Muraoka looked at Kawamoto Renpachi with suspicion on his face, "You guys, you must have offended someone you shouldn't offend, and you made up an excuse to let the investigator be your free bodyguard——"
"it is true,"
Saury, who was still reading the comic, suddenly said: "Except for the ungrateful story, which is made up, what he said is all true."
Hanao Muraoka looked at the saury.
He didn't know why Saury was so sure. However, this man, who had always been keen on pursuing success, was usually taciturn, but once he made a conclusion, his judgment rarely deviated.
After finishing speaking, Saury picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hello?" A red-shirted voice sounded from the other side, "Die Zhaiyu, didn't I tell you before, I took over a new case, you can play with that taxi driver yourself."
"Locked,"
Saury turned a page of the comic, "That driver has targeted a fried chicken shop owner and will take action tonight."
"So what?"
Hong Shi said: "To be honest, I have no interest in restricting that taxi driver. Have you noticed that he has become more and more principled recently...
The shots are getting less and less, and look at the Koda Manami and Wakayama Masashi he took away, which one is not a complete bastard."
"Whether you come or not,"
Qiu saury said calmly: "I have made up my mind to deal with that taxi tonight. If you don't want to miss the excitement, just let go of those domestic violence men on your hands... You won't be alone all night.
Just let it go?"
"That's not necessarily the case..."
After hanging up the phone, Hong Shi looked at Tokuo Hirashima at the side.
This domestically violent man who had his ex-wife's right ear ridged, causing her to commit suicide due to depression, is now being tightly tied to a chair with dense ropes in circles. His eye sockets are frighteningly black, and there is some madness in his eyes.
murmured:
"Wife, wife! Wife, they are all wives... Hahaha..."
There was a TV set opposite Tokuo Hirashima, and a horror movie called "Resident Evil" was playing.
In Tokuo Hirashima's eyes, every zombie's head has the face of his ex-wife.
There are zombies everywhere in the movie, and one that looks super scary will appear out of nowhere to scare people.
At first, Tokuo Hirashima was so frightened that he kept trembling and trembling. By the end, he was almost going crazy.
By the way, are all the weirdos these days so sensible? If weirdos were always going to deal with these rotten people, there would be no need for the weird investigation class to exist.
To be honest, Hong Shi has already thought of a way to limit the weirdness of this hallucination and cause and effect.
But she doesn't want to try it yet.
She wanted to continue to observe whether this weirdness was only for those scum-like domestic abusers. If so, then find a way to extend the resolution period. Maybe it would help reverse the bad trend of domestic violence in this country.
.
With a sneer on Hong Shi's lips, he picked up his phone and searched Rotten Tomatoes for other scarier movies - how about "The Shining", which seems to be particularly suitable for Tokuo Hirashima's situation.
"Hello,"
The blood-red parrot, whose chest was tied with the same chain as hers, said: "Vicious tongue, it seems that you have not solved your weird thoughts at all and have been torturing this guy. Do you think you are the judge of Dongdu..."
"What do you know as a bird,"
Red Shirt selected "The Shining" and clicked to download, "I am obviously experimenting with the tolerance of people with grotesque triggers of domestic violence to various horror movies, in order to explore ways to alleviate their symptoms."
"Young Master, don't you know what is going on in your jealous mind?"
The bloody parrot said: "By the way, don't you deserve an assistant? After Luzi leaves, don't you deserve a new assistant? You have to do everything yourself. Could it be that... are you really waiting for Gu Xing?"
"Didn't I tell you before?"
Hong Shi looked at the progress bar of "The Shining" download, "I actually never had any intention of letting Gu Xing be my assistant.
I have been persuading him to join the Bizarre Investigation Class just to get close to him. Maybe one day he will see the chain on my chest... Anyway, that guy is very stubborn and there is no way he will actually become an assistant.
"
"What about the others? There must be a replacement for Midori."
"Not anymore."
Hong Shi's expression was gloomy, and his eyes gradually moved away from the download progress bar, "In the future, there will never be a new successor."
"Alas~"
The bloody parrot sighed, "Do you want to go to the saury place?"
"Go, why not go,"
Hong Shi cheered up. The progress bar for downloading "The Shining" was full. She saved it to a folder called "A Collection of Horror Movies for Domestic Violence Men".
"Why don't you watch it if it's exciting? Maybe you can learn something from the stinking fish. If an investigator loses his curiosity, he will be close to retirement."
"Idiot," the parrot sneered: "Do you think you are cool when you say such things? In my opinion, you can't do it well."
"You idiot, you can't even poop..."
"You're a slut who hasn't fucked yet."
"You're not pretending, you're just pretending."
"You're a slut who hasn't fucked yet."
"..."
One person and one bird started to yell at each other on the spot.
It was very noisy, but Tokuo Hirashima couldn't hear it at all.
He looked at the countless zombies that suddenly appeared near the end of "Resident Evil", his expression became stiffer and stiffer, and his eyes began to wander...
"The Shining"...it doesn't seem like it will be used anymore. Maybe next time.
…
"When I think back to my childhood that day, it seems to be the most painful and hopeless era, and it also seems to be the era when all the pain has not yet come."
…
"When you enter forbidden areas, something evil will befall you."
…
"Monsters are real, and so are devils. They live inside us, and sometimes they defeat us."
…
In the basement of a Nara apartment, "The Shining" adapted from Stephen King's novel is playing on the TV.
Grandma knitted a sweater and watched carefully.
"Hey, Dongsang," Gu Xing sat on the bed and looked at the TV, "I always think this TV looks weird... Where did grandma get it?"
[There are weird ways to be weird, don’t be so curious, kid]
"It's so nagging..."
Gu Xing lowered his head and continued reading "The Collection of Weird Stories of Eijiro Kita".
How will Saury deal with Eijiro? Gu Xing is a little curious.
As for whether Eijilang will really be restricted or taken into custody by the other party, Gu Xing is not too worried.
According to Xiaodong, once the weirdness described or contained by the describer is restricted or contained by others, the describer will get a chance to complete the weird rules.
In other words, as long as you pay a certain life span, maybe a lot... you will have a chance to release the monstrosity that has been contained or restricted again... and you can also make the monstrosity become more powerful.
This made Gu Xing look forward to the day when some weirdo on his side would suddenly be taken into custody, and he could practice how to complete the rules.
Keep your head down and continue reading...
