All night long, except for grandma, all the weirdos in Gu Xing's house were very restless.
The next morning, there was a lot of noise in the basement corridor.
Gu Xing opened his eyes, and Zaohui was still holding his chin, looking at him affectionately.
The strange thing is that there seems to be a bit of pride in this deep affection... It's strange.
Gu Xing finally discovered that as long as Zaohui stayed by her side, her attention would be entirely on him.
It seems that the dream that night really changed her memory.
In other words, the current Gu Xing is Zao Hui's first love, her regret for not getting married as she wished, and the man who avenges her...
I fell in love with a weirdo, and no one would believe me if I told her.
There is another problem... Gu Xing discovered that when Zaohui enforces the rules, she does not need to be on site, and is completely controlled remotely.
So, does Gu Xing want to be looked at so affectionately by Zao Hui all the time... Maybe, because Zao Hui is a monstrosity created by Gu Xing, he can still adapt to it.
But what about the people around you?
For example, the Holy Son, such as Adachi... Never mind, it's impossible for others to see Haye anyway.
It’s still noisy outside...mostly women’s shouts——
"husband!"
"Where is my husband?"
"Honey, where are you?"
Yosuke went out early. Fujino and Eijiro, who were still in the room, looked outside the door, seeming to be more concerned about what happened.
Eijiro did not present today's "Take Away Proposal" immediately, which shows that the situation is indeed unusual.
What's going on? Go and have a look.
Gu Xing got dressed and was about to go out when he heard a knock on the door.
"Dong dong——"
"Gu Xingjun, are you there?" was the anxious voice of the Holy Son.
Gu Xing opened the door.
The Holy Son standing at the door was originally nervous, but now he took a deep breath and said, "That's great."
"how?"
Gu Xing looked into the corridor. There were more than a dozen women standing outside, as well as wailing children. They were all neighbors in the basement.
"Last night,"
The Holy Son came close to Gu Xing's ear and whispered: "All their husbands have disappeared."
Gu Xing's heart sank as he remembered what happened last night. Qiu Hui's extremely beautiful face flashed through his mind.
Too many people are missing.
A woman was anxious to find her husband, so she knocked on doors and found that not only husbands with families were missing, but many single men were also missing.
After doing the math, there were only four men surviving in the entire basement.
Gu Xing, Matsumoto Yoshiro, a young man named Kawara Satake, and a man named Hirashima Tokuo with a fierce face.
Yoshiro Matsumoto is the middle-aged man who switched rooms with Chiyo before.
He had just finished doing things in Lidu two days ago and was planning to return to his hometown soon. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a terrifying thing.
"As soon as those weird investigators finish their investigation, I will leave immediately without any regrets. The basement of the Nara apartment is too scary!"
Yoshiro Matsumoto said with a pale face.
The other survivors, Kawara Satake and Gu Xing, also have some impressions.
The last time Fujino was acting weird, the old man Koizumi switched rooms with Satake Kawahara.
After hearing that the old man died, Kawahara Satake also held a funeral for the old man, placed a memorial tablet for the old man at his home, and continued to worship him every day.
In addition to the missing men, Qiu Hui, who came specifically to look for Gu Xing late last night, also disappeared.
Her room was empty, and a lot of water accumulated on the floor, flowing out from the crack in the door and flooding the nearby corridor...
Approaching Qiu Hui's room, you can smell the damp rain. It seems that as long as you open the door, you can see a continuous rain falling in the house.
A sad breath floated out from the crack in the door along with the humid air.
Several women near Qiu Hui's house smelled this smell and couldn't help sobbing.
Probably because there were too many people missing this time, and the accident occurred within a short time, it was considered very rare in Li City, which has a population of more than 30 million. Therefore, after more than 20 minutes, except for the currently missing Crow,
In addition, almost all investigators from the Bizarre Investigation Section of the Lido City Police Headquarters were present.
Red Shirt, Frogman, and Saury are old faces that Gu Xing is familiar with.
In addition, there is a man with a square face and thick eyebrows, who is said to be codenamed Zhengyi; the other is a handsome man who looks a bit like a woman, codenamed Dongluo.
"So many men died,"
Hong Shi walked up to Gu Xing and whispered: "It's really rare that you survived. You are worthy of being my chosen male... assistant... candidate, haha."
Red Shirt has subconsciously put the missing people on the death list.
From a professional point of view, it is not an exaggeration. Nine times out of ten, those who disappear in bizarre incidents will not survive.
In terms of her character, she had already taken into consideration the mood of the families of the missing persons present by speaking such hurtful words at the minimum volume that only Gu Xing could hear.
"Speaking of words,"
Hong Shi stared at Gu Xing: "You are too evil, why do weird things happen wherever you go?
Let me do the math - you were there when Grandma Satomi killed Fujino, and the case was still handled by crow; you were there when Fujino knocked on the door, you were there when the taxi was weird, and you were there when the delivery boy was weird, and this new weirdness last night
You are here too.
Good guy, I have experienced five weird incidents in such a short period of time. Among them, Fujino, the taxi, and this one last night, even you almost died!
Hey, Gu Xingsang, could you possibly..."
Hong Shi looked Gu Xing up and down, "Is he related to these weirdos in some way?"
"..."
What could Gu Xing do? He actually didn't want to do this... If he had to blame, he could only blame fate.
"Stop talking nonsense,"
The frogman on the side said: "It's almost fair to say that Gu Xing has a weird physique."
That said, it would be safer to be a weird relative. Gu Xing secretly complained.
"Don't be too nervous,"
Frogman enlightened Gu Xing, "The so-called weird physique does not mean that weird things will always come to you, or that weird rules will always be triggered. It means that people with this kind of physique are prone to weird events happening around them...
The reason for this weird physique is said to be related to the individual's body magnetic field and genes, but it has not yet been fully researched and demonstrated by the research institute.
Although this kind of constitution is relatively rare, there are some typical cases in major cities... We also have a dozen registered cases in Lidu City, so you can also register them later."
The Frog Man's suggestion of having a weird physique was really not a joke, and the other party really identified Gu Xing as having that physique.
Gu woke up numb.
"Saury from our investigation section, you saw it last time when the taxi was weird, right?"
The frogman continued talking,
"He used to be a typical recruiter with weird physiques, and he was particularly powerful at it. But after suddenly reading the comics, he gradually stopped doing it.
Hong Shi also used to have weird physiques, but they were not as powerful as saury. So Hong Shi had always had a particularly bad temper and a very poisonous mouth."
Bad temper in the past...?
Gu Xing looked at the red shirt, and the other person curled his lips in disdain.
Does that mean it's not bad now?
"I feel much better now," the frogman said, "You don't even know that when Hong Shi and I met for the first time, I almost wanted to kill her."
"How come it's all about me..." Hong Shi said: "If you have something nice to say, just say it. If you don't have something nice to say, just shut your mouth."
"Okay,"
The frogman smiled and said, "I'm not as knowledgeable as you."
He looked at Gu Xing: "It's strange to say that even though you have such a weird physique, you will often be unlucky enough to encounter all kinds of weird things.
But the amazing thing is that people with this kind of physique are also the most likely to survive weird events among all people, and have a higher chance of survival than our weird investigators. Do you think this is annoying or not?"
"Come on, this is totally survivor bias,"
Red Shirt snorted,
"It's not that people with grotesque physiques make it easier to survive, but that people who continue to survive in horrific and bizarre events are judged to have grotesque physiques, okay?
Look at all the weird incidents I've experienced in the past, every time I didn't almost die.
Including those so-called ordinary people with grotesque physiques, none of them trembled in grotesque events and tried their best to survive.
When one day they accidentally die in a weird incident, the researchers will not count them as having weird physiques, but will count them in the statistics of weird deaths. Can this inference be counted?"
"You can't say that. If you carefully look through the files of those people with weird physiques, you will find that they are born...or, in other words, have luck far higher than ordinary people and can circumvent weird rules..."
The frogman is retorting.
Gu Xing raised his hand, "Can I ask a question?"
"Um?"
"According to the example of Saury, is it possible to change the weird physique by reading the comics?"
"I can only say that there is a chance..."
Hong Shi said: "But we have done experiments and asked people with weird physiques to follow hundreds of anime series, and they have watched all the famous ones on the market.
Especially cartoons like Death Schoolboy, who has a physique similar to the god of death, and murders follow him wherever he goes. I have read it dozens of times... Some people think he is the Ke Ai Party, some people think he is the New Lan Party, and some people think he is the New Lan Party.
Some people see it as the New Ai Party, Ke Lan Party, New Garden Party, Ke Yuan Party, and the outrageous Ailan Party, Ke Xin Ailan Party...
Some experimenters are almost considered experts in solving crimes, but——
It’s useless, not at all, I have to continue to use weird tricks.”
"actually,"
The frogman patted Gu Xing's shoulder, "Why do you want to change your weird physique?
Ordinary people who are involved in weird events basically have to wait for death, but people with weird physiques often pass by, or the weird rules are not triggered at all, and they can just sit back and watch with a relaxed attitude. How is this?
of luck.
To be honest, I really wish I had this kind of physique."
“I can stand and talk without pain in my back,”
Hong Shi said angrily: "I've already said it's survivor bias! If you really want that so-called weird physique, then well, now, please change with Gu Xingsang."
"Hey, aren't you being unreasonable? If I could change it, I would have changed it with your old self...or maybe I could just change it with the saury. Wouldn't it be more powerful?"
The two began an endless, meaningless, turn-based bickering.
Gu Xing had no intention of getting involved, so he simply went to hide away.
Gu Xing secretly consulted Xiaodong about the idea of having a weird physique.
Xiaodong’s answer is:
[What does it mean to have a weird physique? I don’t understand]
[However, as a weird describer, isn’t it natural that all kinds of weird things often appear around you? You should have had this awareness a long time ago, and there will be more in the future. Hey! Please be mentally prepared]
"..."
All right.
Gu Xing thought for a moment, and it was good to be regarded as a so-called "weird physique" by the eccentric investigators.
In this way, all the weird events that happen around him in the future can be attributed to this weird physique.
More convenient, safer and more aboveboard.
The result of the discussion between Red Shirt and Frogman was that they registered Gu Xing on the "Registration Record for Recruiting People with Weird Physiques in Lidu City".
In the future, we can use Gu Xing's fate trajectory to see whether it is survivor bias or whether people with this physique are really lucky.
Judging from the respective standpoints of the two people, if Gu Xing is lucky to survive, it will prove that the frogman's view is correct, and Gu Xing is really blessed with great luck.
If Gu Xing dies in a weird incident one day, it would be survivor bias. Hong Shan is right. This woman is really... unlucky...
This time, Gu Xing had to take sides. He supported the frogmen.
"I said Gu Xingsang,"
After the quarrel with the frogman, Hong Shi pulled Gu Xing aside again, and then began to persuade him earnestly——
"At this point, I think you should seriously consider joining our Bizarre Investigation Class."
"Why? Wow...that's true. Do you know that you have a weird physique that is full of bad luck?"
"Okay, do you really want to insist on staying in the Criminal Division? Have you ever thought about it for your colleagues in the Criminal Division? This kind of physique may bring bad luck to everyone... Just look at the last taxi incident.
"
"Our grotesque investigation class is different. We are exposed to grotesque incidents every day. Who has no worse luck than the other?"
"Yes, I said that recruiting weird physiques is survivor bias, but what if I'm wrong?"
"Oh, you should think about it again..."
Gu Xing was speechless, and then the oil and salt stopped coming.
Next, all the residents in the basement were questioned separately, and Gu Xing also told the truth about what happened last night.
It was Red Shirt and Frogman who were responsible for understanding the situation with Gu Xing.
After listening to Gu Xing's story, Hong Shi's eyes shone brightly.
"Okay, Gu Xingsang, I really didn't misjudge you. It was the same last time..."
"Last time?"
The frogman on the side widened his eyes.
"Ahem, cough, cough," Hongshan quickly cleared his throat, "Last time Fujino was weird, Gu Xingsang's performance was very good.
By the way, are you really not tempted when such a beautiful woman comes to your door? She really doesn’t look like a normal man in our country... Hahaha..."
"Hey, hey, hey!" The frogman slapped the table.
In addition to Gu Xing, the results of the interviews of the other three surviving men in the basement, Kawara Satake, Matsumoto Yoshiro, and Hirashima Tokuo, also came out.
As expected, the three of them experienced the incident of Qiu Hui knocking on the door last night.
The first one, Yoshiro Matsumoto.
He originally planned to agree to Qiu Hui's request and go to make some repairs, but when he was about to go out, he thought of his good wife far away in his hometown and felt that it was not appropriate for him to rush into a strange woman's room late at night.
And, to be honest, he is also a normal man, and Qiu Hui is so beautiful.
If the other party gave a little hint during the repair process, Matsumoto Yoshiro would find it difficult not to get ahead of himself.
Therefore, Matsumoto Yoshiro politely rejected the other party's request and said: If possible, please bear with Miss Qiu Hui tonight and help repair it tomorrow morning when the light is better.
Qiu Hui agreed, and Matsumoto Yoshiro survived the crisis safely.
Afterwards, Yoshiro Matsumoto called his wife and kept asking her questions. As he talked, he started sobbing, which made his wife confused.
The second one, Kawara Satake.
He simply didn't open the door.
Before Qiu Hui knocked on Kawahara Satake's door, the tablet of Mr. Koizumi that was originally placed on the sacrificial table suddenly fell down.
Kawahara Satake instinctively thought that this was a reminder from Mr. Koizumi to him, and the person who knocked on the door in the middle of the night was most likely to have malicious intentions, so he pretended to be asleep and ignored the other person's repeated knocking on the door.
During this period, he felt that his will was wavering several times and couldn't help but open the door.
In the darkness, he seemed to see old man Koizumi blocking the door of his room, shaking his head at him with a nervous look on his face.
My restless heart gradually calmed down, and I was lucky enough to escape the disaster.
The third one is Tokuo Hirashima.
His experience was even more bizarre.
Probably in the early hours of this morning, Tokuo Hirashima got up to go to the toilet and found that his face in the mirror turned into that of his late ex-wife...
