[5000-word chapter] Chapter 73: The disappearance has disappeared
Gu Xing's desire to contain the grotesqueness of Taxi is actually quite understandable - how can this grotesqueness of punishing evil and promoting good be tolerated if he doesn't put it on his bookshelf?
As long as Taxi Monster is stored in the bookshelf of the House of Weirdness, even if he continues to roam around in the streets of Lidu late at night and enforce the rules, Gu Xing can monitor his actions at any time.
For those who have indeed done something ungrateful, repaying kindness with enmity, and deserve to go to hell, they will naturally be taken away without mercy.
However, those who were really unjustly accused, such as Hidelang and Liangzo, can be rescued in time through Gu Xing's supervision to avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
In addition, the lifespan of the taxi's grotesque harvest can also be unified into Gu Xing's general ledger, killing three birds with one stone.
Although at present, Gu Xing's life expectancy is extremely rich, he has a vague hunch that one day he will encounter a situation where he has to spend a large sum of life all at once, so he must be prepared.
safe.
Don’t entrepreneurs with a long-term strategic vision do this? Reserve a large amount of cash flow at any time to ensure that if the company suddenly goes bankrupt due to financial turmoil, economic crisis or other reasons, they will still have enough financial resources to pay for the severance.
Class fees.
Gu Xing does not have the brains of an entrepreneur, but he can definitely learn from their strategic vision.
【なに(Nani)】
Xiaodong’s fighting spirit was instantly ignited,
【Oh God, you have finally enlightened】
[If I still had eyes, I would be moved to tears]
[Where do you plan to start, I will do my best]
"You should give me some advice?" Gu Xing said: "Forget it... I need detailed information on the taxi's weirdness, background, rules, exact time of appearance, where it will appear next time, who is the victim... Yue
The more detailed the better, how much will I have to pay for this?”
【These are what you want...】
"Um?"
【nothing】
[I can only tell you, firstly, for now, you have not triggered his rules and it is very safe; secondly, although he has killed many people, the taxi's weirdness level is still very low, so he and the headquarters
Those weird investigators who are engaged in guerrilla warfare. Of course, if he continues to "kill" like this, there is no guarantee that one day he will not suddenly become powerful]
Xiaodong seemed very excited, but he had no intention of giving Gu Xing any substantial help.
Whether it's weird or news, I don't have a choice.
It's better this way. Gu Xing has long felt that he relies a little too much on the small hole.
This kind of dependence will become stronger with the frequency of use and become more and more inseparable.
If one day, the small hole suddenly disappears, or completely gives up its support for him, then what else can Gu Xing rely on besides himself... He must prepare early and learn to survive in a world of weird rules as much as possible.
【I have a suggestion】
"Um?"
[Since the weird taxi only operates late at night, you can go out for a walk in the early morning, and maybe you will meet the unlucky guy and get into that car? 】
"What a great idea..."
【Absolutely awesome, right?】
"No idiot would do this - I happened to encounter it in such a big Lidu city? The Bizarre Investigation Division has told us many times that we in the Criminal Division are not allowed to go out late at night, so I went out anyway, and even picked a taxi specially
During the time period when I was out and about, do I feel that I was hiding too much, what would be better to expose?"
[You can’t say that, you are a god, why are you afraid of weird investigators]
Gu Xing gave up on continuing to communicate with Xiaodong with cerebral palsy, opened the webpage on his mobile phone, and searched for keywords such as "Lidu City", "Late Night Taxi", "Missing", etc. Sure enough, the relevant pages had been cleaned up.
I also thought I could get some clues from the Internet, but I was blocked.
[Aren’t you afraid of being exposed when you go online? Do you think those weird investigators won’t monitor sensitive words on the web? 】
"It doesn't matter anymore,"
Gu Xing threw the phone aside, "It's strange that I don't even have this curiosity after being investigated for several days. If you don't believe it, look at my colleagues in the criminal class. They have already browsed the forum. Especially Anda.
...I guess his cell phone hasn’t been off for the past few days.”
Just as he was talking, Anda forwarded a link from the chat APP window with the title:
"Horror and Monster Legends: The man-eating taxi that wanders in the dark alleys of Lidu City late at night - please take a look at how those sinners who repay kindness with revenge are beyond redemption! You must be a good person!"
As soon as Gu Xing clicked on the link, it showed that the web page was disconnected.
Andana sent a message: Damn it, these Internet monitors are too fast... I searched for several days before I found it.
Gu Xing replied with an embarrassed expression.
Anda: If you find something good, remember to pass it on to me too.
Gu Xing: Good stuff?
Anda: Don't get me wrong, it's not about those colorful things... it's about taxis.
Gu Xing returned the negro expression of "I understand you" and turned to look at the small hole: "Look..."
【Boring Humans】
"Speak the truth,"
Gu Xingdao: "I analyzed it, and if I want to contain the taxi weirdness now, there are probably a few ways.
First, Rimi’s grandma. But the taxi driver will definitely not be a loan shark, right? Rimi’s grandma will definitely not take a taxi, let alone do anything ungrateful, so give up on this.
Second, Fujino. Let Fujino out and knock on the taxi driver’s door, but whether this guy has a home or not is a question. Or, let Fujino do something ungrateful and trigger the weird taxi rules.
But it seems that I can only let Fujino knock on doors to enforce the rules, but I can't control his actions. This is also not easy to operate.
The third one is the faint crow.
I can borrow the rules of the Dusky Crow now. The question is, the frogman seems to have said that the rule power of humanoid grotesques is half a level higher than the ordinary grotesques of the same level. Can the Dusky Crow be able to fight against the Taxi grotesques?"
Xiaodong: [Here’s a tip, the weird taxis are only E-class]
Gu Xing thought for a moment, the Dusky Crow is a D level, the highest rule is D+, and there is another D. In this way, as long as the Dusk Crow's rules are activated first, there is still a good chance to kill the taxi.
What's left is to think about how to catch the taxi weirdness.
Don’t rush this, there’s a long way to go, you can think about it slowly...
Gu Xing leaned on the pillow, slowly closed his eyes, and looked through the tiny slits——
Fujino lay on his desk, looking at the book "Pawn Shop No. 8" and taking notes carefully.
I also like learning too much.
"Dongsang," Gu Xing said, "Do you think he is studying how to escape from my bookshelf?"
[How is it possible... Do you know who is the operator behind the House of Monsters? If the monsters taken in can escape from the bookshelf casually, those operators will lose their pants. Don't worry, Fujino wants to escape from the bookshelf
, What I am facing is not you, but those higher-level weirdos hidden in the sea of stars]
"Um……"
Be more at ease and go to sleep.
Early the next morning, the ringtone of "Forever Together" rang——
"hurry the breasts
Calling from somewhere deep in the soul,
いつも多でも梦をdraw(えが)こう
Painting dreams all the time..."
Gu Xing picked up the phone, and there was Anda's voice on the other end: "Have you heard, Gu Xingjun..."
"What's wrong?" Gu Xing's heart skipped a beat, "Is there someone else..."
"That's a really accurate guess."
Can it be inaccurate?
"This is the third time I've received this kind of call," Gu Xing said, "Now I always feel like you work in a funeral parlor."
"This time it's Naoki Sunaga."
"taxi?"
"What else could it be..."
Anda's tone became more mournful each time, "It is said that before going to bed at night, he told his relatives and friends at home not to go out late at night. Who knows, in the early morning, he sneaked out on his own and got into a taxi as soon as he went out.
Oh, let's go to the police headquarters again... Hong Shi said that the taxi must be targeting our criminal class, and it won't be over for a while. Bring everything you need to wash and change, and be prepared to stay at the headquarters these days. ."
"The problem is serious."
"Hmm... I guess this weird taxi is too cunning. It means that when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we attack. The most serious problem is-"
Anda said:
"Naoki Sunaga has already visited Tetsuo, but he still triggered the weird taxi rules. How to explain this? If this continues, each of us can be prepared to ask for an invoice from the weird driver. That's his mother. I don’t know if the police station will reimburse the invoice to the Kingdom of Heaven..."
"Don't say that...what if you go to hell?"
"Sew that crow's mouth of yours, and I'll see you here."
The atmosphere in the headquarters is also very heavy.
After Gu Xing arrived, he sat obediently in the last row of the conference room. The dozen or so surviving colleagues sat together in twos and threes, muttering something, and all of them looked unhappy.
What are you all thinking... You will definitely feel sad for the three colleagues who have disappeared, and at the same time, you will also feel anxious that you may face the same fate in the future.
"Have you finished your suicide note?" Anda sat next to Gu Xing and took out an envelope from his arms, "I feel that this time it's hard to save my life, so I wrote a suicide note that is enough to make people cry."
"No," Gu Xing reached for the letter, "Let me take a look."
"There's nothing interesting to see." Anda put his hand away and hid, then stuffed the letter back into his arms. "On the one hand, I complained bitterly about the cruel exploitation of my spare time by the criminal class in the past few years. On the other hand, I stated these few days. For my unparalleled contribution in solving major and important cases, I hope that I can be awarded a posthumous medal after my death."
"Come on, it's a love letter to the crow."
"Wow, you are like a god," Anda pretended to look at Gu Xing in disbelief, "You can guess this."
"Andasang, you are so heartless..."
A colleague in front turned to look at Anda, "Is now the time to joke like this? We already have three colleagues whose whereabouts are unknown. Everyone feels bad. And, whose turn will it be next? Maybe I really have to write a suicide note tonight."
"Ah..." Anda nodded sincerely, "I was wrong."
"Don't be too pessimistic,"
Another colleague said: Maybe Naoki triggered the rule because he went too late?"
"What you said makes sense..."
"I think Naoki's sincerity is really not enough——
He went to visit Tetsuo only after he learned that the weirdo specializes in punishing ungrateful people. This was too deliberate.
It’s not like we don’t know that these weird rules have always been very mysterious and bizarre, and it is very possible to sense whether Naoki’s visit is sincere or not.”
Colleagues from the Criminal Division participated in the discussion one by one, and the conference room became noisy.
"Ahem..." There was a sound of clearing the throat.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a hand stretched out from the middle row of seats, holding a comic book and shaking it. There was no doubt that Saury was lying on that row of chairs and was immersed in the world of comics.
Woolen cloth.
Everyone understood what he meant and fell silent one by one, continuing to murmur in a small area.
Everyone has gradually gotten used to saury's behavior in the past two days. It is said that this person has some abilities, but his personality is really loose. It seems that he has solved a relatively complicated and serious bizarre incident, and the headquarters still treats him
It's relatively tolerant. Of course, maybe it's not tolerant and there's no other way.
After a while, Sequoia, Frogman, Shiratori, and Hanao Muraoka came together from another office. The four people probably discussed the case in a small area first.
"The specific situation last night was as follows..."
Kao Muraoka gave everyone a brief introduction to the circumstances and process of Naoki Ibanaga's disappearance, which was basically consistent with what Adachi told Gu Xing.
"That's probably it. Based on what happened last night, combined with the fact that Ryozo knew there was a problem with taking a taxi late at night, and still took a taxi after receiving a text message from Shiratori, we made two preliminary judgments
:
First, the weird rules of taxis should directly affect the trigger person's thinking, leading the trigger person to walk out of the house late at night and get into the weird taxi without any doubts.
Second, Weird Taxi probably hasn’t given up on the colleagues of the Criminal Division of Jing’an Police Department. Of course, Naoki Suunaga’s disappearance may be related to his too deliberate visit, so he is still judged to be ungrateful. Criminal Division
Others may not be locked as well.
In short, we need to continue to observe this matter. Everyone must be prepared to fight for a long time in our headquarters building in the past few days. I'm sorry.
In addition, in order to ensure everyone's safety, we decided to temporarily group our colleagues into two groups, and they will always act in sync and ensure that they never leave each other's field of vision..."
Hanao Muraoka brought a batch of simple folding beds and placed them in the conference room for everyone in the Criminal Division to rest. It was a little rough, but everyone was a criminal police officer who was out on the scene and had experienced harsher environments than this.
, but I’m getting used to it.
Gu Xing subconsciously felt that things were not that simple. He had a vague guess in his mind - maybe, except for himself, everyone else in the entire criminal class had been locked by weirdness, but this was just a guess. In the situation in front of him,
It's not easy to say it rashly.
He asked Xiaodong about his guess.
Xiaodong replied: [Not sure, I have to continue to observe and see]
It's like not saying anything.
Gu Xing planned to stay awake all night to see if any of his colleagues would be led by the weirdness of the taxi and behave abnormally late at night. By then, the weird taxi would definitely be parked near the headquarters building.
Thinking of this, he placed his simple folding bed in the corner of the conference room with the widest view, ensuring that he could see the movements of every colleague.
Lying on his side on the simple folding bed, Gu Xing narrowed his eyes.
At about one o'clock in the morning, a colleague suddenly woke up from his sleep.
Another colleague on the side opened his eyes in a daze and looked at him, "Ueno Yukio? Why are you not sleeping at this hour of the night?"
"Damn it," Ueno Yukio lifted up his pants, "I woke up after being peeed. As I get older, it just doesn't work anymore. The prostate is out of control..."
Ueno Yukio said and walked to the bathroom.
"I should say unlucky,"
The colleague next to him also got up, "Why are we in a group with a guy like you who can get up at night..."
The two people left the conference room together.
Gu Xing also got up from the simple bed. Beside him, Anda struggled to open half of his eyes.
"Why...you are so young, and your prostate is in its maintenance period?"
"Uh... I drank too much water last night."
"Don't make excuses. Young people must be brave enough to admit their own gaps and shortcomings." Adachi closed his eyes. "Since Ueno Yukio also wants to relieve himself, hurry up and go with the four of them. I won't struggle anymore...
…”
Obviously, Anda and Gu Xing were in a team. With such a tiankeng teammate, Gu Xing was speechless.
He was about to catch up with Yukio Ueno, but after thinking about it, he walked to Adachi's bed again.
"You'd better get up."
Gu Xing forcefully pulled Anda up, "Get up and relieve yourself. Come back and feel the most delicious smell."
Having said that, Gu Xing actually suddenly thought that he was completely fearless, but he had to be careful about what happened to Adachi. Don't let it happen. In the end, he and Ueno Yukio returned safely from the bathroom, and Adachi was missing. That would be heartbreaking.
.
Gu Xing pulled Anda, who was half asleep, all the way to the bathroom door.
Another colleague stood at the door with eyes wide open.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xing asked.
"The news... disappeared," the colleague turned his head and looked at Gu Xing with a look of disbelief, "Yukio Ueno disappeared... I was a step too late, he pushed the door in first..."
