The working girl opened her mouth wide and looked at Fujino, "Why am I here?"
"Ms. Matsukita Yuki,"
Fujino bowed respectfully, "Please ask, do you need a loan?"
Facing the strange scene in front of him, Matsukita Yuki was confused and was about to refuse.
"Miss Yuuki,"
Hong Shi suddenly said: "Please don't make a decision in a hurry."
Matsukita Yuuki looked towards Hong Shi.
She didn't know much about the situation here, but there were many police officers around, and at least the uniforms they wore were worthy of her trust. Although the uniforms were full of blood stains... it made people a little scared.
"Then...how should I answer?"
"Just say: Let me find out first."
After Hong Shi said this, everyone quickly understood - there are rules for grotesque killings, and to crack grotesqueness, one must find ways to find loopholes in the rules.
Since the last family was killed for not agreeing to a loan, the way they treat Fujino will naturally change this time.
"Okay," Matsukita Yuki said, "Can I know more about it in detail?"
"Of course." A briefcase appeared in Fujino's hand and he took out a promotional material from it. "Look at it, the interest rate is very low."
Matsukita Yuki hesitated and looked at Hong Shi.
"Go on and look down." Hong Shi said suddenly.
Matsukita Yuki immediately took the promotional material and turned to the first page, but he had no intention of understanding it.
Fujino pointed to the promotional materials and introduced them enthusiastically, "Our company provides customers with loan methods with different interest rates and different time limits. You can choose at will according to your needs..."
Matsukita Yuuki looked up again and looked at Hong Shi for help, "Excuse me, what should I do? This thing is too weird... I don't need a loan."
Hong Shi turned to look at Tomoko.
Without waiting for Hong Shi's wink, Tomoko quickly said:
"Miss Yuki, it's unfortunate.
You are now involved in a bizarre incident - the person in front of you can no longer be called a human being, but should be called a grotesque one.
It has its own operating rules. If you trigger the negative rules, you will face a very dangerous situation. Therefore, please be sure to follow the instructions of the police."
After finishing speaking, Tomoko finished speaking as fast as a machine gun, and then let out a sigh of relief. She was just glad that she had a quick response, otherwise she would have been scolded as a fool again.
"Didn't you just say that if you stay next to that [light], nothing will happen?"
Matsukita Yuki's face became paler and paler, "How could it be like this... Anyway, what should I do now?"
"Find a way to delay time!"
"Okay! I understand!"
Under the guidance of the red shirt, Matsukita Yuki and Fujino started a tug-of-war. She took the promotional materials and asked Fujino to explain the meaning of every sentence on the promotional page, especially when it came to the issue of loan interest rates. She had to ask several times.
I read it over and over again, but I still don’t understand.
Fujino seemed to be happy to package the interest rate traps in loan sharks into something very simple, and patiently and carefully introduced them to Matsukita Yuki.
"Where is the death row prisoner?"
Hong Shi looked at Tomoko, "How long will it take! Will everyone in Li City die before we can survive?"
"Half an hour, no!" Tomoko felt her heart in her throat and stared straight at her watch: "We will be in place within twenty minutes."
"Okay," Hong Shi suddenly yawned, "Now it depends on whether Miss Yuuki is lucky enough to last until that time."
When Gu Xing heard this, he quickly understood Hong Shi's plan - to let the death row inmates replace the residents of the basement and fall into Fujino's lending rules.
Many people present seemed to understand, and the scene fell into silence.
For those on death row, although death is inevitable, it seems unfair to be forced to be killed in grotesque and cruel ways.
However, no matter how you put it, it is easier to accept than those law-abiding citizens in the basement being killed for no reason. It is considered a no-op solution.
"The family members of every death row inmate who accepts the mission will receive a substantial amount of compensation,"
As if sensing the dull atmosphere, Tomoko quickly explained:
"The special class often used this method to deal with bizarre incidents in the past. Some death row inmates have already received persuasion and are ready at any time.
Because he was originally going to be shot, but he could still make some contributions to his family by dying at the hands of a weirdo, and the prisoners on death row often fought over this task."
The truth of the matter is...
Faced with Fujino's terrifying grotesques that are suspected of mass murder, the investigators of the Oddity Investigation Section don't have many choices and methods in most cases, and they are no match for a head-on confrontation.
Even Sequoia, who has always had a venomous tongue, often laughs at himself. They, these usually stinky investigators, are, to be honest, just grasshoppers a little bigger than ordinary people - they can only try their best to find out the other party's rules.
The usual approach is to continue trial and error with death row prisoners until we figure out the rules and find a way to restrict or contain them.
Of course, in most cases, shelter is just a thought. It is an ideal, or a dream, that cannot be given up easily.
You know, Fujino has a grotesque human form...
Hey...is there really no other way?
Tomoko's head kept spinning... She thought of her revengeful grandma again... Oh, weird things, wouldn't grandma specifically punish those loan sharks who maliciously collect debts?
Why is there no sign of grandma appearing this time when innocent citizens have died tragically? Is it really like Master Sequoia said... can grandma only deal with humans, but not monsters?
"That's what it says,"
Anda whispered in Gu Xing's ear: "But it sounds even more pathetic."
"The Crow's Assistant,"
Hong Shi was obviously dissatisfied with Tomoko's long-winded explanation, "What's the use of talking so much? If these scum are not going to die, are they still going to be left to defend the country? Get out of here and get me some information."
"yes!"
Tomoko immediately went to the side and made a phone call.
"Your people, prepare some rental contracts as soon as possible, as fast as possible, the sooner the better!"
Red Shirt looked at White Bird: "Please leave the name of the tenant blank first. In addition, find the owners of these basements and ask them to bring over the original rental contracts."
Shiratiao didn't seem to understand what Red Shirt meant, but he followed the order unambiguously and immediately assigned the task.
Tomoko made several phone calls and emphasized the principle of confidentiality several times to everyone present.
"Gu Xingjun,"
When Anda, Gu Xing, and Shengzi went to prepare the contract, they couldn't help but ask: "What is the red shirt doing?"
"Probably to make up for the loopholes in the rules,"
Gu Xing said: "Since these death row inmates are to die as substitutes, it is natural that they should be arranged to live in various rooms in the basement.
However, considering that the grotesque target may only target the tenants in the basement and not include outsiders, it is necessary to draft a rental contract in advance and turn these death row inmates into real basement tenants.
At the same time, the old contract must be temporarily abrogated. In this way, the error tolerance rate for dealing with weird situations can be increased and unnecessary deaths of tenants can be avoided.”
"Um,"
Anda said: "It makes sense, actually I think so too..."
Shengzi said: "I feel like this reasoning can be written into a novel."
“Time is very tight, I don’t have time to find a place to print the contract,”
Gu Xing took two people to his basement and found a stack of white paper. "I'll draft the contract first. The three of us will copy a few pieces separately. It's the most efficient."
According to the information previously provided by Xiaodong, except for Gu Xing himself, no one else could see Xiaodong's appearance even if they entered Gu Xing's home, so he was not worried about the risk of exposure.
"Okay, that's it," Shengzi looked at Gu Xingjun's room, "I didn't expect Gu Xingjun's room to be so clean, but why is there only one book on the bookshelf? Ji Chun... Grandma..."
"Oh," Gu Xing looked at the bookshelf, "I was going to read one and buy one, but I just started reading."
Although they had been cleaned up before, there were still a lot of blood stains on the three people. Gu Xing took out three clean towels and asked everyone to clean them up briefly.
"Oops!"
Anda suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Xing, "It's going to be bad!"
"Why are Mr. Anda so surprised?" Shengzi covered his chest, "Today was scary enough."
"It suddenly occurred to me," Anda said, "Gu Xingjun also lives in the basement here. If 'Fujiye' keeps knocking, wouldn't it...sooner or later it will be your turn?"
"Yes, it will happen sooner or later."
Gu Xing drafted a rental contract on white paper.
But don't worry...he will kill Fujino first.
