[4200-word chapter] Chapter 140 'Memoirs of a Ghost Prostitute' and a man's promise
Xiaodong was also a little surprised by Kubo Shoichi's condition.
[Wow, it turns out that he is a weird-looking person who has become Uragezaburo’s follower? Moreover, he hasn’t eaten Uragezaburo for such a long time? It’s not that simple.]
"Let's go meet him."
As Gu Xing said, the taxi started, "Boom——"
"That person is Kubo Shoichi?"
Taking Nobuhiko Kumada, Haye, and Fujino in Kita Eijiro's taxi, Gu Xing walked through the streets and alleys and came to the street outside Shifeng Valley. He saw a man running out of Shifeng Valley carrying something on his back.
.
Shifeng Valley is the most representative wealthy area in Lidu. It has the most traditional customs of the country. The houses in the entire area exist independently. There are no high-rise buildings, no narrow streets, and no sense of depression. They can be designed as comfortable as possible.
, known as "the top mansion in the world".
Most of the people living in Shifeng Valley are famous entrepreneurs, big-name celebrities, and cultural celebrities. The pronoun here is rich, especially rich.
Gu Xing was a little curious, how could Kubo Shoichi run away from such a top rich area when he looked like a poor man.
【Probably】
[Why don’t you go up and ask]
Chatting with a weirdo who has not yet been taken into custody, Gu Xing is obviously not that reckless.
Eijiro Kita parked the car in front of Kubo Shoichi and opened the door.
When Xiang Kubo saw this, he trembled and ran to the other side with the woman on his back.
Before I could even take two steps, I looked up and saw a man with a cracked mouth from the corner of his mouth to the base of his ear rushing towards me...ah, oh, one mouthful.
…
Back home in the Shibuya apartment, Gu Xing saw Kubo Shoichi carrying a rag doll on his back, kneeling on a round cushion next to the bookshelf, waiting with a flattering smile on his face.
There is an additional book on the bookshelf called "Kubo Shoichi's Home Delivery Service Weird Collection".
The title of the book that can be displayed to outsiders is "Memoirs of a Ghost Prostitute"——
This is a script version of a horror movie shot by director Takashi Miike. It tells the story of an American writer who takes a boat on a river with floating corpses and goes to the Forbidden Island to find his lost lover Xiao Tao, but encounters a ghost prostitute.
Gu Xing watched that movie, and the ugliness and hypocrisy of human nature were magnified to the extreme. After watching it, he felt numb all over...
Opening the "Weird Collection of Kubo Shoichi's Home Delivery Service", the preface describes his weird rules:
Kubo Shoichi is a widely circulated and extremely mysterious flesh broker among the rich circles of Lidu City. There are not many clients who are lucky enough to be served by him, so most wealthy men are extremely eager to visit him.
Rule 1: When a man has a strong desire to have sex with a woman, Kubo Shoichi will come to the door behind the woman's back. The higher the man's mental strength and the stronger his desire for a woman, the easier it is to trigger this.
Rule(E).
Rule 2: If the man who triggers the rule has a clear goal in mind for a woman, Kubo Shoichi will turn his rag doll into the look of that woman and bring it to the door. If the man does not have a clear goal, Kubo Shoichi will turn his rag doll into the door.
The doll is dressed up as a top beauty and delivered to your door (E).
Rule 3: Kubo Shoichi can turn a living person into a doll, and then turn the doll back into a living person (E-). During this period, the living person will not die.
Rule 4: If a man rejects Kubo Shoichi who sends a woman to his door, he will have good luck for a period of time. If a man accepts a woman, he will need to pay a large amount of money to fund Kubo Shoichi's activities (E-).
Rule 5: During the relationship between a man and a woman, Kubo Shoichi hid in the corner of the room and peeped. The moment the man revealed his yang energy, Kubo Shoichi absorbed it all and turned it into his own power to perfect the rules. It was sucked away
A man with yang energy will feel that he has become more energetic for a period of time. In fact, it is just false prosperity, like rootless green grass (E+).
Why did Kubo Shoichi become Saburo Uragashi's follower and conspire to kill Chiharu?
There is no answer in the book. Even Kubo Shoichi's past is not mentioned at all, making everything a mystery.
Think about it, if those men who triggered the rules knew that the person they were having sex with was actually a smelly doll that Kubo Shoichi had been carrying for who knows how long...
【What are you going to do with this guy?】
[Don’t tell me you plan to leave him in the study. That’s disgusting, I want to move!]
"I suddenly thought of an interesting idea," Gu Xing said: "Why not let Kubo Shoichi travel around the world?"
…
The night was dark and dark, with large dark clouds covering the moon.
In the streets of the silent city, Kubo Shoichi walked into the neighborhood of Shifeng Valley with a flattering smile on his face, carrying a beautiful and frightened woman on his back, and knocked on the door of a house.
"It's Mr. Xiangyi, it seems that today is my lucky day,"
The male host opened the door with an ambiguous smile on his face, "Please come in quickly."
"For the next hour,"
Kubo Xiang put the woman down on his back and said with a smile: "She is yours... After that, I will rush to Africa."
"Okay, I'll hurry up."
The male host grabbed the woman's hand and pulled her in. "The fee will be credited to your account later."
After closing the door, the male host looked at the woman's face. She was very beautiful, but she still felt a little familiar. If she looked closely, she looked quite similar to the beautiful son of Takehiko Uragata's family next door.
who cares……
In the crack of the cabinet door on the side, Kubo Shoichi opened his eyes wide without blinking.
…
In the early morning, Gu Xing appeared in front of Ishizaki Chiharu's tombstone with a bouquet of flowers.
"Please leave in peace, Miss Chiharu, who acted righteously for her friends,"
After presenting flowers, Gu Xing said to the tombstone:
"From today onwards, Kubo Shoichi will carry Saburo Uragami on his back and embark on an endless journey around the world. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of her life, I will keep her as busy as possible until... the end of the world
."
"I swear,"
Gu Xing touched his heart with his hand, "I will personally send all the beasts like Saburo Uragashi in this country to hell one by one."
At this time, a butterfly flew from nowhere and landed on Qianharu's tombstone.
It flapped its wings as if blinking its eyes.
After a while, the butterfly flew up and disappeared in the gradually brightening morning light.
…
"The following is a piece of news that our station has just received.
Yesterday evening, another bus full of passengers disappeared mysteriously. This is the third bus disappearance case this month.
The police are working hard to investigate the case. According to expert analysis, this may be due to the special effects of sunspots and flare activities, which has led to the creation of space wormholes in certain areas..."
On the TV, the beautiful female anchor had a serious face and spoke eloquently:
"According to information learned during an interview with our reporter Ai Kudo, Takehiko Uragata, the president of Ernst & Young Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of the Uragata Foundation, his wife Akino Uragata, and his son Saburo Uragata, have mysteriously disappeared recently. The police suspected that their enemies had kidnapped them.
The case is currently under investigation.
Urazhi Consortium has arranged for a young and promising new president with rich management experience to take up the post of Ernst & Young Pharmaceuticals. Please don’t worry too much..."
News about Takehiko Uragawa and his family of three have been in the news frequently in the past few days, but the purpose of the report by the TV station that holds shares behind the Uragawa Foundation is more to stabilize the expectations of investors.
After all, Takehiko Uragae is not a core family member of the consortium, so the turmoil he caused is limited.
"I'll try a different kind of bread next time, I'm almost tired of this taste..."
It's breakfast time now. Gu Xing drinks milk and eats bread while watching the morning news on Lidu Radio.
The TV was a second-hand item that I bought just two days ago, and the resolution is basically sufficient.
At first, Gu Xing didn't even plan to buy a second-hand one, and planned to just watch it on Rimi's grandma's TV, but the movies on her grandma's TV were basically horror thrillers, and Gu Xing liked watching them, but they couldn't watch them endlessly.
Moreover, the small hole also reminded Gu Xing that it was best to watch less of grandma's TV, otherwise terrible things would happen. As a result, Gu Xing installed a simple screen next to grandma's TV and stopped watching it completely.
[Without Miss Shengzi’s careful preparation, I can only eat jam bread, poor Gu Xingjun]
[Let me just say, if you don’t get into such a tense situation with Miss Shengzi, you will be the one who suffers, right? 】
[How about it? Come to the door now and kneel down to beg. Miss Shengzi might change her mind]
After the memory loss accident that happened last time when Hong Shi, Sheng Zi, and Gu Xing got drunk together in the Nara apartment, Gu Xing deliberately kept a relatively distant distance from Sheng Zi.
The Holy Son seemed to be aware of this and adopted the same attitude towards Gu Xing.
Therefore, although the two were still neighbors, after moving, Shengzi never had breakfast with Gu Xing again.
"Now, let's report the weather conditions..."
"..."
"The weather in Yinnan Town seems to be pretty good today..."
After breakfast, Gu Xing planned to set off for Yinnan Town, Anhe County, which is close to Lidu, and is the hometown of death row inmate Izawa.
A few days ago, Shengzi told Gu Xing that all procedures for Jingze's compensation had been completed. Soon, the money was officially transferred into Gu Xing's bank account.
During the incident where Fujino ravaged the Nara apartment, Gu Xing promised Izawa that he would personally deliver the compensation to Izawa's mother. It was time to fulfill his promise.
"You still remember, right?"
Shengzi called Gu Xing to tell him. On the phone, Shengzi's tone was obviously much more polite, "At that time, you said that if you wanted to send compensation to Jingzao's mother, you would take me with you."
Gu Xing's original plan was that if he could solve it by himself, he would try not to trouble others as much as possible, but Shengzi was very insistent on the phone. Moreover, it was Gu Xing's promise to take Shengzi with him to see Jingzai's mother.
It's best not to regret things easily.
So, the two of them made an appointment to set off after each had breakfast this morning. For this reason, Gu Xing and Bai Niao took a day off and planned to return the same day.
“Do I have to rent a car?”
At the door of the Shibuya apartment, Gu Xing looked at the pink car in front of him and couldn't help but feel speechless. His original plan was to take the subway to the bus station first, and then...
"But," Shengzi said, "the cars have already been rented. Once the money is paid, it cannot be refunded."
"All right."
Ten minutes later, Shengzi drove a cute pink car, took Gu Xing, and drove the navigation system towards Anhe County.
Gu Xing sat in the passenger seat.
Sitting in the back row from left to right are Haye, Fujino, and Grandma Satomi.
Sitting on the roof of the car is Nobuhiko Kumada.
About twenty meters behind the car, Eijiro Kita followed closely in his taxi, with his son Yosuke Kita sitting in his passenger seat.
Of course, the Son of God cannot see all the above weird things.
Gu Xing didn't originally plan to bring the Weird Alliance with him, but he seemed to know that Gu Xing was going to Yinnan Town, and the weirdos were very interested.
Regarding the Weird Alliance, Gu Xing recently made a new discovery——
To others, weirdos seem to be able to only enforce rules, and can be said to be existences without consciousness, thoughts and emotions.
But here, Gu Xing seems to be able to achieve some quite tacit and obscure exchanges. It is worth a closer look.
"Gu Xingsang, thank you, thank you and Miss Shengzi!"
"Please, please and Miss Shengzi make a special trip here from Lidu...the journey is not short."
"This money will be used as your hard-earned travel expenses, okay? Please accept it!"
"If you don't mind, why don't you have dinner at my house at noon? If you want to see the scenery in Yinnan Town these two days, you can stay at our house in the evening. Yinnan Town is a famous ancient town, and the scenery is actually very good..."
In fact, the reputation of Yinnan Town is very limited, and there are not many tourists. Gu Xing and Shengzi also came to the town, and found that the town was antique and full of meaning.
"This child Izawa has actually been very kind-hearted since he was a child... I don't know why that child took that path after going to Lidu...
When he was in middle school, that child was praised by the school for saving a woman who fell into the water. In order to save someone, Izawa himself almost drowned... Oh, my child, it's all because I didn't educate him well.
…”
The Izawa house, like all the houses in Onnan Town, is an antique building.
Nowadays, only Izawa's mother lives there. Izawa's father died in a car accident the year before last when he was driving a taxi to earn money to support the family.
The furnishings in the home are very simple and there is no decent furniture, which shows that the life is very poor.
Gu Xing and Shengzi went to take a look at Izawa's room. There were many photos of Izawa from his past, from kindergarten to elementary school, junior high school, high school, study, life, sports, swimming, and playing ball.
Skipping rope, when he went to work in Lidu, and many honorary certificates, which can almost connect Izawa's life together.
Under each photo, the time, place, and what happened at that time are recorded.
Looking at the yellowed photos, Gu Xing felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
"Izawa-san was imprisoned to save an old man who was dying,"
Before Gu Xing left, he said: "I don't know exactly what happened in the previous robbery, but Izawa-san when he was arrested, and Izawa-san when he died trying to save the residents of the Nara apartment, were covered in hair.
Shining, glowing, exactly the same as when he was a boy, you should be proud of him."
"Is it really?"
After hearing this, Jingzao's mother was stunned and looked at Gu Xing's eyes carefully. After a while, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears, "I thought you came here out of sympathy..."
It was already dusk when we set off back to Lidu.
"Are you really not going to stay in Yunnan Town for one night?"
Shengzi said: "The scenery around here is really nice, and there is also a hot spring with a good reputation. The fun of discovering such an unknown and quaint town is far better than being promoted."
"wrong,"
Gu Xing looked at the winding and densely forested road ahead, frowned, and suddenly said: "Holy Son, we have been to this place just now..."
