[4400-word chapter] Chapter 118 The reappearance of the grotesque trader
In the live broadcast, Xiaozhu Lila walked into the elevator, and the camera followed her closely, rushing towards her repeatedly, but unable to swallow her head no matter what.
The unwilling camera took a few steps and rushed in front of Xiaozhu Lila, and slapped her hard on the face, but still couldn't do anything to her.
The residents group exploded——
"It's unreasonable! My mentality is going to collapse... How can this kind of woman escape?"
"When that monster deals with kind citizens like us, it's really terrifying. Is this the level when you see evil people? Isn't it too bad?"
Karasawa Makoto was also a little dumbfounded and asked Hitomi:
"Is this... is it really that Nobuhiko Kumada can't do anything to her? Or is it for some other reason? Or is it because Rila Kotake has found a way to crack the murder pattern of Nobuhiko Kumada?"
"I think there is a high probability that she fell into other weird rules,"
Tongzi stared at the live broadcast screen carefully, refusing to let go of any detail.
"Look at how she looks now, with a dazed expression and blurred eyes, which means that her consciousness should no longer be under her control.
It was precisely because of this that she could not see the camera at all, nor could she see Kumada Nobuhiko's appearance, so she did not fall into Kumada Nobuhiko's murder rules.
This method cannot be copied by ordinary people. Either Rila Kotake is a monster herself...or another monster's rules have locked her. This is not quite right...Kumada Nobuhiko's rules level is already so high, Lito City
Are there any other weird rules with a higher level than him?
I heard that the legendary rain girl also came to Lidu, but the rules of the rain girl are not like this at all...
Or maybe a certain monster struck earlier than Kumada Nobuhiko... But Rila Kotake clearly just walked out of the room. Even if she fell into another weird rule, it would only happen after the fog appeared.
?
do not care……"
Tongzi once again threw the Soul Exploding Pearl high and held it again.
Then, she walked to the door.
"What are you..." Karasawa Makoto said.
“Once in a lifetime,”
Hitomi unlocked the door and looked at Makoto Karasawa, "Rila Kotake helped me attract Nobuhiko Kumada's attention. Her priority to be killed is already the highest, so it's safe to leave the room now. I'd just take this opportunity."
, rushed to the top of the building in one breath."
Karasawa Makoto wanted to persuade her to think carefully, but she couldn't think of a reasonable excuse.
"We can never allow Nobuhiko Kumada to continue to grow,"
Hitomi faced the door of Tang Ze's house:
"Every time he eats a person, he will complete a little bit of the rules, and he will complete them faster and faster, more and more perfect. Maybe, the next time he appears, the white light of Yuxi's teeth will not be able to block his exploration.
, by that time, even I, the only one who can walk in the fog, will be unable to do anything to Nobuhiko Kumada.
After the quantitative change becomes a qualitative change, he will even achieve a big leap in the level of rules. By then, I'm afraid it won't be a problem with an apartment."
All in all, Kumada Nobuhiko has reached the point where he has to solve it.
While Karasawa Makoto was desperately thinking about how to dissuade the other party, Hitomi had already opened the door and rushed towards the staircase. Her warm and clear voice came from the quiet corridor——
"Close the door as quickly as possible."
"Miss Karasawa, after everything is over, please give me a signed photo of you."
At this time, a black bird that Karasawa Makoto could not see with the naked eye emerged from the door of her house and followed Hitomi.
As Dalin Tongzi's last words echoed in the silent corridor, the birds flapped their wings, their red eyes staring closely at Dalin Tongzi, and an invisible ripple shot out from the eyes, locking onto her.
Dalin Tongzi, who was running, also felt something strange behind her. She quickly glanced back and found that the staircase corridor behind her was twisted for some reason, as if it was the result of the simultaneous action of abnormal space and time.
A vague and distant male voice came to my ears——
"Congratulations, Miss Tongzi."
Congratulate me? What do you mean... What happened? Where did this voice come from? Who is talking? What's going on with the twisted corridor...
A series of question marks circled in Dalin Tongzi's head.
Could it be...that the weirdo who locked onto Kotake Lila also found her?
Dalin Tongzi couldn't figure it out, but he was not surprised at all. In this world full of weirdness, it was not surprising to encounter any strange things.
"Let's make an interesting deal," the man's voice continued.
Perhaps, as long as you obey this voice, you can be like Rila Kotake, completely ignoring Kumada Nobuhiko's killing rules, and then walk out of the apartment and the fog calmly.
But Dalin Tongzi couldn't leave like this. She must not miss this time, perhaps the only time in her life, with the friend she cherished so much, the teammate who had saved her life five times, and the one who ate her alive bite by bite.
A chance to say goodbye forever to best friend Yuki Hanaoka's monster - Nobuhiko Kumada.
Thinking of this, she turned her head, ignoring the strange thing behind her, and walked firmly towards the top of the building, the sound of wind ringing in her ears.
"What's wrong with this woman?"
Outside the black mist, even the frogman was surprised - Rila Kotake walked straight to the front door of the apartment, walking out of the black mist that every resident in the Nara apartment was eager to get out of.
A big bloody mouth came out of the fog and swallowed her head - to no avail.
"Close your eyes!" the frogman suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone present did not dare to neglect. They either closed their eyes, lowered their heads or turned their heads. Some people simply lay on the ground nervously.
"Don't be nervous,"
Dong Luo was very calm, "If you see a mouth like this, you will be killed. When death row prisoner No. 1 was swallowed just now, we all had to die. Have you forgotten? The rules say that if you see Xiong Tian
Nobuhiko’s face is the only one who gets tricked.”
Even though he said that, others still didn't dare to take it lightly.
After a while, seeing that Dong Luo, who had not closed his eyes, was still alive and well, everyone dared to open their eyes and look over there——
Xiaozhu Lila walked to a side street carrying a bag, looking quite leisurely.
The big bloody mouth was suspended above her head, pounced on her head again and again, opened and bit... but Xiaozhu Lila seemed not to see it at all.
A taxi came quickly and stopped in front of her.
The bloody mouth took one final bite.
He missed the bite and bared his teeth, looking very dissatisfied.
Xiaozhu Lila opened the car door and got in.
With a "bang" sound, the door closed.
The dust stirred up by closing the door hit the big mouth head on.
The taxi drove away.
The bloody mouth faced the direction of the taxi, opening and closing, closing and opening again, opening and closing at an extremely fast speed, like a scolding villain.
Suddenly, Dazui trembled, as if encountering some emergency situation, and instantly disappeared in mid-air.
"Hello,"
Dongluo looked at the frogman, "I remember that the taxi driver was the case you took over, right?"
"Well, what?" Frogman looked back, "Do you want me to leave Nobuhiko Kumada alone and chase that taxi? If you don't object, I would be very happy. That taxi was so kind to us.
The people are very easy-going..."
"The level defined by the headquarters for taxi weirdness seems to be E-level, right?"
Dongluo looked at the direction in which the taxi was leaving, "Kumada Nobuhiko is at least C-level... How to explain this? Is it that Kumada Nobuhiko's level is set high, or is the taxi's level set too low? That's not right either..."
The determination of the level of grotesqueness by grotesque investigation agencies around the world is based on a special instrument——
Use instruments to test places or objects where weird events have occurred, and give a rough grade judgment. The specific results will generally be accurate to +-, such as D+, E-, etc. There are often deviations in +-, but generally
Whether the grade is E, D, or C, most of them are relatively accurate.
"how could I know……"
The frogman said angrily: "The taxi's grade is measured by instruments, not made up by me. I wish I could set his grade a little higher, so that if the problem is suddenly solved one day, I can get a little more credit."
"..."
[Xiao Zhulila looked at the red rain outside the window, wondering why she got into a taxi...]
"Xiao Zhulila, let's wait and then broadcast live."
In the dim night, behind the console not far from the fog, Gu Xing said to the hole in his heart: "I discovered an important pattern."
[Huh? Let’s hear it]
"Eijiro's rules are obviously two levels lower than Kumada Nobuhiko's, but he still took Rila Kotake away from Kumada Nobuhiko's murder rules. This illustrates a problem -
The upper limit of Kumada Nobuhiko's rule level is very high, but only one of his killing rules has a very high level, reaching C level, but his other rules may not be very high." [Wow, that's an interesting analysis,
continue】
"Further analysis, that is to say, Kumada Nobuhiko's two complementary rules——
Article 1: The premise for Kumada Nobuhiko to kill is that the person to be killed must see Kumada Nobuhiko’s face. If Kumada Nobuhiko’s face cannot be seen, he will not be killed.
Article 2: Once Nobuhiko Kumada appears next to the person being killed, the person being killed will look at Nobuhiko Kumada uncontrollably."
[Well, a perfect combination...]
"It's not perfect!
Because there is likely to be a level gap between these two rules, and this level gap is the key to solving Kumada Nobuhiko’s weirdness. I analyze it——
Nobuhiko Kumada's first rule should be very strong, definitely above level C. Therefore, if someone sees Nobuhiko Kumada's face, unless there is a stronger rule to interfere, that person will be dead.
However, his second rule level is not necessarily C level, it may be E level, E-, E+? or D level at most.
In other words, as long as a D-level rule is triggered on someone first, Kumada Nobuhiko will probably not be able to force that person to see his face, and he will not be able to devour that person.
You once told me, when Eijiro took Koda away, the rule level was only a thin layer away from D level.
After taking away Kawamoto Jinpachi, the owner of the fried chicken shop with some special abilities, Eijiro's rules for taking away had already exceeded the D level, so he had a chance to prevent Rila Kotake from seeing Nobuhiko Kumada's face at all.
What's more, Eijiro Kita targeted Rila Kotake this morning with my approval. Just now, his rules were activated one step earlier than Nobuhiko Kumada. Yes, this is the truth why Rila Kotake can escape Nobuhiko Kumada's murder rules.
!”
[I have to say, the analysis is very exciting... If you can hear the sound of my applause, I will applaud]
[How do you plan to use this so-called "level gap" to solve Nobuhiko Kumada? 】
"Just wait and see."
【……】
[Okay, I’ve learned to tell the truth]
[By the way, Hitomi seemed to have triggered the rules of the weird trader just now. How did you do it? 】
"I should ask you this, right? Didn't you act as an intermediary and introduce the weird trader to me?"
【I am not an intermediary】
[I just happen to know a little bit about his old man’s condition!]
[By the way, when I triggered it just now, I didn’t feel that Tongzi had a particularly strong desire to accommodate the weirdness... Logically speaking, it is impossible to trigger it in this case. However, at the level of the weird trader
Its existence is completely beyond our ability to detect, so there is no need to be too surprised if something happens]
"Well, I suddenly had a great idea..."
【Um?】
"The level of the weird trader is much higher than Nobuhiko Kumada, right?"
【Do you want to borrow some help?】
[Don’t even think about it, the weird trader only cares about trading. His rules are lent to you only for you to use for trading. He will never interfere in other weird events, let alone help you solve Nobuhiko Kumada]
"I just asked casually..." Gu Xing said: "Actually, I can probably feel why Tongzi triggered the weird trader's rules."
【?】
"It's not her desire,"
Gu Xing looked at the black fog in the distance. In the fog, the gloomy Nara apartment building loomed, "It was my touch."
【Your touch?】
"Yes, it was my touch."
After knowing some of the stories of Hitoko Obayashi and Nobuhiko Kumada, Gu Xing suddenly thought: There are not only those who slip through the net who are outside the law and do evil in this world.
Chaos and disorder are also ruthlessly and even more crazily harvesting the lives of ordinary people.
For ordinary people, isn't this an evil existence that needs to be solved and fought more urgently than those who do evil things?
Weird investigators like Crow, Red Shirt, Kumada Nobuhiko, and Obayashi Hitoko, although they are extremely eager in their hearts to fight against the grotesque with their own strength, they can only continue to confront the grotesque in the process of investigation.
Feeling disappointed and hopeless.
"I can help them,"
Gu Xing secretly chanted: "Then why don't I try my best?" Just like the time when he faced Fujino in the basement of the Nara apartment without fear of any terror and danger. In the gloomy night, Gu Xing's figure became more and more obvious.
Darkening, gradually blending into the night.
The passageway to the stairs of the Nara apartment is also very dark.
The sensor light seems to be affected by Kumada Nobuhiko's rules and cannot be turned on normally.
Dalin Tongzi couldn't care less about this.
Time is running out - in the live broadcast footage, Xiaozhu Lila will soon step out of the black fog.
Obayashi Hitoko knew that once Kotake Rila came out of the fog, it meant that Kumada Nobuhiko's rule lock on her would soon end.
"faster!"
"Faster!"
"It can go faster!"
Finally, she rushed to the top floor and saw the unusual and eye-catching room at a glance - its door was gray and the door handle was covered in black paint, exuding a soul-eating atmosphere.
In the live broadcast, a taxi arrived in front of Xiaozhu Lila, and she got in...
Time is running out.
Dalin Tongzi rushed over without hesitation, grabbed the black door handle, and opened the gray door.
She walked in the door and was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.
In the camera, Xiao Zhulila closed the door of the taxi, the shadow of the car disappeared at the end of the street, and the live broadcast ended.
Outside the door, there were rapid footsteps...
