Chapter 43: Any bizarre rule has loopholes and dead ends that can be drilled
Gu Xing turned around and asked tentatively: "What do you mean..."
"I thought about it,"
The old man sighed, "Actually, when I chose to exchange rooms with that young man before and was destined to face Fujino, it was enough to be considered as seeking death in a sense. Now, if I go too far, it is actually
It's nothing, what if more people can be saved.
I think the Lord will forgive me if I choose to commit suicide in order to save more people."
The old man said this and crossed himself on his chest.
Gu Xing couldn't help but feel a little moved, "I want to thank you on behalf of all the tenants in the basement and myself."
He took out the [Sesshomaru who likes to eat longevity] wrapped in a plastic bag and toilet paper from his pocket, and handed it to the old man respectfully, "Before Fujino takes action, untie the plastic bag and toilet paper, and say to Maruko, 'Maruko
Sang, I want to be eaten by you for the rest of my life, that’s it——
It is best to say this after the wood chipper appears, so that it will be easier to judge Fujino as maliciously extorting debts."
"I have another unkind request." The old man suddenly said.
"Speaking."
"You look familiar to me. You must be a resident of our basement as well."
"Yes, I'm in D-019."
"My request is - if after I commit suicide, Fujino's weirdness is still not eliminated," the old man looked at Gu Xing, with some guilt in his eyes, "I hope you will take the initiative to change the room to the next room.
It’s D-004.”
Gu Xing stood there in a daze.
"Just think that my selfishness is at work,"
The old man said: "I noticed that your room is behind my original one, which means that the young man who often takes care of me will be visited by Fujino in front of you."
He pointed to the desk drawer,
"I don't know why, maybe it's because of what you said, or maybe it's the righteousness you exude. I have great confidence in you. I feel that as long as you are willing to muster up the courage to face Fujino without fear, you will definitely be able to do it completely.
Solve it. So——
I selfishly hope that you can save that young man, and preferably the other people in the apartment, so that there will be no more innocent victims here.
Of course, the above is just my merciless request, and I don’t mean to use it as a threat. Even if you say now that you can’t change rooms, I completely understand. After Fujino knocks on the door again, I will follow the instructions
A promise to commit suicide."
Gu Xing looked at the old man for a while. The old man obviously felt guilty and lowered his head, avoiding his gaze.
"I promise you,"
Gu Xing bowed again to the old man, "If Fujino comes to the basement again, I guarantee that I will be the first to greet him. In addition, the things I told you, including the things I have been here, are very important.
, and I hope you will keep it secret."
"Don't worry," said the old man, "I will take it into the coffin."
At this time, stiff footsteps sounded outside the door.
The old man nodded towards Gu Xing, "Let's go quickly."
Gu Xing took one last look at the old man, jumped into the drawer, and disappeared.
Seeing this, the old man climbed up from the bed, walked tremblingly to the drawer, kowtowed heavily to Gu Xing, and kept mumbling,
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry for you, kid."
My forehead soon started to bleed, and tears flowed out.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A terrifying knock on the door sounded.
The next moment, the old man appeared at the door of the room.
…
When Gu Xing walked out of his basement, Fujino happened to knock on D-003's door.
The old man was standing at the door.
Fujinopi said with a deadpan smile: "Mr. Koizumi, the loan you owe my company has expired. Please pay it back now."
He took out the contract, and it was Junji Koizumi's name written on it.
In this way, at least one of Fujino's weird rules has been clarified - residents who originally rented the basement can change places. After the change, the order of death will also change.
At present, this rule does not have much effect on solving the problem.
Firstly, not many people are willing to take the initiative to switch to the front position like Koizumi; secondly, even if someone is willing to switch, it is meaningless in terms of the overall situation. In the end, everyone will be found by Fujino.
"Hey, Gu Xingjun," Anda rubbed his eyes, "Am I right? Why is the old man bleeding on his forehead?"
Gu Xing seemed to understand something, looking at the blood on the old man's forehead, he remained silent.
"Hey, did you see something in the old man's hand?" Anda asked again.
"No."
"How come you can't see it? Just hold it between your thumb and index finger," Anda said: "It seems to be a round little black ball."
"You saw it wrong."
"Really?" Anda moved his head forward a little more.
Before Fujino left, the old man suddenly waved to everyone, as if saying goodbye to the world.
Caught off guard, the old man blinked his eyes mischievously, as if his death soon was just the end of his life for him.
Gu Xing couldn't help but feel a sore nose. Looking around, everyone had sad expressions on their faces. But only Gu Xing knew that the blink of an eye was the old man's secret signal to him.
After Fujino walked out of the basement passage, the roar of noisy machines sounded.
Not hearing the old man's wail, Gu Xing felt hard to describe.
The policemen from the Criminal Division opened the door of D-004. There were still bloody and fleshy residues on the floor inside, proving that the wood chipper was not idling.
"This..." Gu Xing was stunned. Looking at the tragic scene in the room, he couldn't help but doubt his own eyes, "It's impossible..."
Soon after, the young man who had been punched unconscious by the red shirt woke up and walked to the door of his house immediately and saw blood all over the floor.
He immediately understood what had happened, knelt in the blood pool and cried loudly.
"We can't go on like this."
Shiratiao finally couldn't help but found Sequoia again, "Lord Redshirt, I want to have a chat with you alone."
"No effort."
"Then create Kung Fu," Shiratiao stopped in front of Sequoia with a firm look in his eyes, "If you don't have Kung Fu, I will refuse to obey your instructions and use my own way to solve this case, even if I take off this police uniform in the end.
, I will fight to the end."
"It seems like the police department is here to help," Sequoia then looked at him seriously, "Follow me."
With that said, he walked into the empty room next to him, and Shiratiao followed him in.
Gu Xing stood at the door of room D-003. The tragic scene in the room made him feel very uncomfortable.
He couldn't figure out why the old man was executed by a wood chipper. Could it be because he didn't use the [Meatball] before he died?
[used]
The note seemed to read his mind and wrote new information:
[Because your life span has been paid for]
But Fujino is still safe and sound, and Satomi's grandma shows no signs of appearing. In other words, even if the debtor is forced to commit suicide, Satomi's grandma's rules will not be triggered.
Another feasible road was cut off. Gu Xing's heart sank.
"This Fujino is simply a devil... Could it be that there are no loopholes in Fujino's weird rules and we can only wait for death?"
[Theoretically, any weird rules have loopholes and blind spots that can be exploited. No matter how secretive they are and how strict the rules are, they will never be flawless]
So, where exactly is Fujino’s loophole?
Gu Xing thought hard.
[By the way, what you promised the old man - if Fujino comes to the basement again, you will definitely be the one to greet him. Do you still plan to fulfill this promise? In any case, he has fulfilled his promise to you]
