Chapter 41 The Residents of the Basement Are Killed
"I have known the truth you mentioned last century, and Emperor Meiji told me..."
Gu Xing complained.
The loopholes in the rules cannot be figured out clearly in a short time——
Even people far away will be summoned back at any time by Fujino's knock on the door. Death row inmates who have signed contracts cannot be replaced. No matter how much cash is added, it will be swallowed up by the weirdness. Is there any loophole that can be exploited?
The remaining solution is to fight grotesqueness with grotesqueness.
"Can you be more specific...wait!
you mean……"
Gu Xing felt as if he had caught something,
"Satomi's grandma! Do you mean to say Satomi's grandma?"
【Bingo】
"Are Grandma's rules stronger than Fujino's?"
[Not necessarily, but in addition to the level of the rules, there is also a saying that the origin and the rules are in conflict with each other]
Gu Xing quickly understood - Grandma Satomi's rule was to punish loan sharks who forced borrowers to death, and Fujino, who came to ask for loan sharks, was certainly restrained by her grandmother.
After figuring out that Grandma is better than Fujino, the only thing left is how to use the rules to make the two inevitably confront each other.
"Dongsang, a good man will fight to the end. Is there any way to bring two monsters into conflict?"
[Let one party trigger the other party's sure-kill rule, that's all I can say]
[Remember, the most important thing to survive in a weird world is to discover the secret of the rules]
Gu Xing looked at the information on the note repeatedly.
Fujino has killed several debtors, but still hasn't triggered Grandma Satomi's rules.
Then, we can only find a way to make Grandma Satomi trigger Fujino's must-kill rule.
"Hey, Satomi,"
Gu Xing dialed the phone, "Please tell me grandma's name."
"Why do you ask?"
"It's too late to explain. It's a life-saving measure. You don't remember, do you?"
"How is that possible?" Rimi said, "Natsuki Uehara, you think of me as too unfilial."
“Thank you very much, we’ll talk to you later.”
"Hey!" Rimi said, "You haven't contacted me for a long time since the last text message. Do you want to hang up like this?"
"I'll treat you to a big dinner later."
"Okay, I will remember it."
Gu Xing hung up the phone. Who knows if he could survive this or not.
"Dongsang, if I write Grandma Satomi's name in the borrower column of Fujino's contract, will Fujino change or erase Grandma's name and replace it with my name?"
[The rules are incompatible and cannot be deleted]
[This requires a gamble. What if grandma is willing to help you]
[Of course, if possible, this rule will only work for you]
"What's the meaning?"
[Grandma won’t help others easily, you have to do it yourself]
It's just a joke... Gu Xing was about to ask it what it meant when there was a loud noise outside the door.
Someone shouted: "Fujino is here again!"
Gu Xing seemed to hear stiff footsteps.
"It's too late!"
He stood up, picked up the book "Grandma Jichun" from the bookshelf, and walked out the door.
[Remember, don’t expose my affairs]
"You've said it twenty times...how dare I."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Fujino knocked on D-003's door.
The old man opened the door.
Fujino said: "Do you need a loan?"
"Can you let me know more about it?"
"Of course, please take a look at our company's loan instructions first... I wonder if I made it clear enough?" Fujino said a lot, but it felt like it only lasted a moment.
The old man picked up the pen and looked for a place to sign.
Fujino pointed to the place where the contract was signed, "Sign here."
"Old man,"
Gu Xing ran over from the other end of the passage, "Please wait!"
The old man looked up at Gu Xing, his gaze lingered for a moment, and then he quickly lowered his head and wrote his name.
Fujino said: "Remember to pay back the money on time."
Leaving the old man with a contract, Fujino disappeared at the end of the basement.
Gu Xing ran over and looked at the contract in the old man's hand. It read Junji Koizumi, "Is this your name?"
"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who would frame others casually."
"Old man, why are you so anxious? Didn't I ask you to wait?"
"I'm afraid that if you don't let me sign, you'll end up harming that young man."
"well!"
Gu Xing took the contract from the old man's hand and tried to cross out Junji Koizumi's name with an oil pen and write Natsuki Uehara, but the oil pen didn't produce any oil at all, and even replacing it with a pencil didn't work.
"Young man," the old man said with a smile, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but I am really content to live to this age."
Gu Xing was speechless.
In the following time, Tomoko kept checking whether the name on the contract would be changed. Until Fujino came to visit again, it was still the old man's own name, Junji Koizumi.
The old man's death seemed inevitable.
"It's so painful!"
Anda seemed to have thought of the scene where the old man was strangled by a wood chipper, "Oh! Rather than being crushed into pieces and dying, it would be better to commit suicide. It's all death anyway, isn't it..."
"etc……"
Gu Xing seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, muttering to himself, "Suicide, suicide... Long Yi... wood crusher..."
"Hey," Anda waved his hand in front of his eyes, "What are you talking about? You're babbling."
"I figured it out!"
"What do you want to understand?"
"You are right, we should make the old man's death less painful."
"It's just nonsense."
Gu Xing ignored him and walked to the other side.
Anda said from behind: "Hey, finish what you said! Also, what are you doing with the book in your hand? What kind of book is it?"
Gu Xing suddenly figured out a crucial question - Fujino had killed four debtors in the basement, but why hadn't Grandma Satomi's punishment rules been triggered yet?
It's not because Fujino is weird, nor is it because Fujino has been punished by his grandmother before.
It's because all the residents in the basement were killed!
