Creation of Dongying Guitan

There was a restrained surprise on the Son's face.

Zao Hui, who was sitting on the other side, still looked affectionately at Gu Xing, who was sitting in the co-pilot.

Eijiro turned on the radio, and Kenshi Yonezu's Fireworks sounded in the car——

"きっとまだ结(お)わらない夏(なつ)が

It must be the end of summer

Ambiguous(あいまい)な心(こころ)を解(と)かして系(つな)いだ

Untie the ambiguous heart knot and connect it tightly again

この夜(よる)が続(つづ)いてて(ほ)しかった

May this night never end like this

「あと何度(なんど)-kun(きみ)と同(おな)じ花火(はなび)を见(み)られるかな」って

How many times can I watch the fireworks with you~"

Under the bright moonlight, a taxi drove towards the end of the street.

On the roof of the car, Fujino and Yosuke Kita sat back to back, looking at the bright moon above their heads together...

"good night!"

"See you tomorrow!"

After sending the Son home, Gu Xing returned to his room.

As soon as the door was opened, Nobuhiko Kumada, whose mouth was split up to the ear, rushed forward in the chaotic darkness.

His big mouth swallowed Gu Xing's head, but after swallowing it, it had no effect.

Pounce again...still the same...

Gu Xing ignored him, and snatched the newly-appeared "The Cannibal Nobuhiko Kumata in the Ghost Mist Collection of Weird Stories of Cannibals" from Fujino's hands.

The title of the book that others can see is The Garden of Ogre, the work of French author Leila Slimani.Gu Xing read this book when he was in college.

Gu Xing still remembers what Adele's husband said to her in the book——

"You should know that you are as mediocre as us. If one day, you can accept such mediocrity, you will be much happier than now."

At this time, Gu Xing felt that mediocrity was not scary, but numbness was fatal.That would make one's life be led by a string like a puppet.For example, himself - if he can't always

If you are alert, you may be led by a small hole and step into hell.

"I suddenly thought of a question,"

Gu Xing looked at a book on the shelf, and said to Xiaodong:

"Look at the titles of these books, grandma's "Grandma Jichun", Fujino's "Dark Gold Ugly Island Lord", Eijiro's "Life and Death", Yosuke's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", Zaie's "Don't Be with You" Strangers Speak, and the Ogre Garden, which just came out tonight, are these books too closely related to their corresponding grotesques?"

[Are you afraid of being seen by someone with a heart, what will you think of? 】

"When the red shirts came last time, I was a little worried,"

Gu Xing said, "Fortunately, she just came to drink."

[What are you afraid of, you, it's a pity that only you can see such a beautiful bookshelf and so many collections with a great sense of achievement, right? 】

"While moving, let's make this bookshelf invisible to others,"

Gu Xing directly decided, "I know, as long as you pay a little lifespan, you can do it, right?"

【Humph】

【I will not】

After a while, the bookshelf turned into a state of transparent nothingness.Xiaodong clearly told Gu Xing that only he can see it now.

Invite Anda to sit at home another day to see if he can see it.Gu Xing thought about it.

In the preface of Nobuhiko Kumata's "Collection of Weird Stories", his weird rules are written——

This is a misty grotesque that kills people indiscriminately.

1. Every once in a while, he will appear in a popular apartment with his own ghost mist. All creatures wrapped in ghost mist will be difficult to escape (E-)—this is what Eijiro can take away The reason for Lila Xiaozhu, the only rule for the haunted fog is E-.

This also shows how helpless the weird investigators who cannot grasp the power of the rules are.Even if they only need to master the rules of E-, there is hope to lead the residents to escape from the ghost fog, but this is a chasm.

2. He likes to walk from bottom to top in the apartment, eating a random family on each floor.Anyone who sees his face will be eaten by him bit by bit (C)

3. He exudes an attraction from the soul, as long as he is close to a certain range around him, he will unconsciously look at him (E).

4. Don't step on his bloody footprints (C-)...

5. People who walk out of the corridor without authorization...

6.…

Gu Xing finally understands that every grotesque is actually a set of complex rules. The closer the cooperation between the rules, the harder it is to find the loopholes in the rules.

And the grotesques who complete the rules are actually constantly optimizing and improving the power of these permutations and combinations.

Turning to the main text of the book, the first half records the past of Nobuhiko Kumata, Yuki Hanaoka and Hitoko Obayashi investigating weird cases together. To be honest, this is a sad story.

Gu Xing couldn't bear to see the end.The book also records a thing that may not even be known to Dalin Tongzi——

In fact, both Kumada Nobuhiko and Hanaoka Yuki are deeply in love with Obayashi Hitoko, not just in general.Gu Xing even felt that such liking could rise to the level of love.

Dalin Tongzi didn't know

Affection.But Nobuhiko Kumata and Yuki Hanaoka actually knew each other's identities as rivals of the opposite sex.

This can also explain why Nobuhiko Kumata sacrificed himself several times to save him, why Yuki Hanaoka sacrificed his life for Toko Obayashi before he died, and why Toko Obayashi became the only investigator who could walk freely in the ghost fog of Nobuhiko Kumata .

The three of them jointly investigated many bizarre incidents. They are all people with a sense of justice and love of life, but it is really regrettable that they ended up with this kind of result.

【I don't need to say... According to your personality, there is a high probability that it is impossible to release Nobuhiko Kumata...】

Of course.

Gu Xing looked at Nobuhiko Kumata, who was sitting on his knees by the floor-to-ceiling window of the apartment, holding his chin, staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky—after swallowing Gu Xing dozens of times without success, Nobuhiko Kumata finally resigned to his fate .

The floor-to-ceiling windows of Gu Xing's new home are really big enough, and the scenery outside the window can be seen at a glance.

The appearance of the ogre sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows surrounded by silver moonlight has a desolate and beautiful artistic conception, like a painting.

However, the balcony in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Gu Xing originally planned to use it as a tea stand for drinking tea and making coffee by himself... Now that it is occupied by the crack-mouthed ogre, he really doesn't have the appetite to drink it to Nobuhiko Kumata Coffee and snacks... Bastard, this guy, maybe he will be nailed to the balcony in the future...

[In other words, I think you can put Nobuhiko Kumata in prison, especially the kind of prison where serious criminals are locked up... Wow, that kind of scene is very exciting when you think about it... let him eat murderers, this should be Is it more in line with your values? 】

Seems like it could, but it's not necessary.

In the situation where grotesques are rampant, those serious criminals have now signed trial-and-error contracts with special investigation departments in various places. It is more valuable to let them try and make mistakes, and reduce the casualty rate of assistants and ordinary people in grotesque incidents .

[Anyway... As long as it is a grotesque killing indiscriminately, it is impossible to let it out, right?Gu Xing, you are really good...]

Anyway, Nobuhiko Kumata was also the first C-level grotesque that Gu Xing took care of.

His own rule loopholes are actually pretty big, but in Gu Xing's hands, with Fujino, Eijiro, Zaie, and Faint Crow, he can exert greater and more perfect power.This, you can slowly try to optimize the combination in the future.

After closing the book, Gu Xing looked at Fujino's book again. After opening it, he found that the rules in the preface were in a state of garbled characters——

"Is this an upgrade of the rules?"

[Almost, it seems that after devouring Kumata, Fujino will also reach C]

"Well, then please look forward to it."

Soon, Eijiro Kita brought up today's latest "Proposal" to take away.

Gu Xing flipped through it, and the name of the protagonist of the proposal was——

【Uragi Saburo】

"Not enough, not enough, not enough."

"It's too far away."

"I have to make this bastard a little bit worse, a little bit worse."

As Gu Xing said, he took the proposal to the desk and rewrote it himself——

【Uragashi Saburo's nightmare will start from this moment...】

Behind Gu Xing, Eijiro, Zaie, Fujino, Yosuke, and the newcomer Kumata Nobuhiko all surrounded him, stretched their necks, and looked

Gu Xing proposed a rewrite.

"This kind of scum must have been ungrateful, right?"

Eijiro nodded repeatedly.

"You must have hit your girlfriend, right?"

Zao Hui gave him a positive look.

"Isn't it too much to borrow a little usury?"

Fujino adjusted his sunglasses.

"Isn't it normal for the head to be eaten?"

Kumata Nobuhiko split his mouth open until it reached the base of his ears.

Only Satomi's grandma was sitting on the sofa she had brought from the basement, knitting and watching the old TV.Right now, "The Grudge" is playing on TV——

Kayako, with disheveled hair and bloody face, climbed down the stairs, and the hostess looked at her through the gap between the wooden ladder and the wall.spooky background music...

As Kayako crawled closer and closer, the blood on his face suddenly disappeared...

"I really don't understand,"

Saburo Uraji threw the remote control aside, "A crude horror film like "The Grudge" can actually scare people. Are all the people watching the film elementary school students? I'm really drunk."

Uraji Saburo, who lives alone in his mansion, hasn't been out for a while.

Since the matter of Chiharu Ishizaki began to ferment on the Internet, Saburo Uragi was banned by his mother.

Until now, Uraji Saburo couldn't understand—to be honest, it wasn't the first time Uraji Saburo threw a girl he couldn't handle into the sewer in Lidu City, but he had never been grounded for such a thing before.

Even if something really happened, his father and mother would always find a way to make him survive the police investigation safely.In fact, this is not too difficult. The most important thing is to use a large amount of cash to stun the victim's family and give up the persistence of finding the truth.

For the rest, since the family members of the victims no longer pursue the matter, the police will not be too harsh on people like them.All troubles that can be solved with money cannot be called troubles.That statement couldn't be more true.
