Chapter 237 205. The Rebirth of Death (please order in full)
The two stood side by side in front of the door and began to chant the blasphemous incantation. The eyeball-like beads on the iron door lit up one after another, and the door shook. Then it slowly opened with a heavy roar.
"Ahhh... finally... finally...!"
Li Ming let out a cheering voice that he hadn't seen in a long time.
“My reasoning is correct, it’s so good, I almost thought I would never see the day it opens...”
Behind the door is a small room.
There is no frightening and blasphemous thing in the room, just a quietly operating machine. The great race that surpasses human intelligence may have left here long ago, leaving behind the insignificant humans and their inadequacies. The trivial failed experiment may have been lost forever.
"As long as we destroy this, everything will be over. The snowstorm will stop, time will flow, and we can finally leave this nightmare." He paused and turned to look at the girl in front of him. , "Hey... Kurosawa, I know you may not agree, but can I ask you a favor?"
"Once again, Just once, can you accompany me into the next reincarnation? "
"This may sound very stupid, but I still don't want you to leave me with these memories, and I don't want you to know that I am killing people. Demon, I don’t want your hands to be stained with blood. I understand that this request is very arbitrary, but please..."
"Next time I won't confess to you or do such a stupid thing. You will forget everything you spent peacefully, and I will kill them more skillfully and take you out of here without anyone noticing." Door, let's really end everything at that time, okay?"
Li Ming persuaded Kurosawa as calmly as possible, but his pleading voice still contained a cry.
"It's not necessary. It's just like playing the game after reading the guide. It has lost the meaning of enjoying the game." Kurosawa paused, "Now both of our hands are stained. Blood, then we are the same kind, aren’t we? Do you dislike me?”
“…” Hearing Kurosawa's words, Li Ming was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, "...I understand, I respect your decision."
The two used the weapons in their hands to destroy The machine, that inorganic thing that brought endless suffering to many people, finally stopped functioning and became a piece of scrap metal.
When we returned to the basement, there was only a pile of salt-like powder where Terada's body had been.
This incredible young man who once talked about reasoning with her, investigated the case like a detective, and then lost his mind and attacked you crazily, disappeared without a trace as if he had never existed.
Has he finally escaped from this eternal nightmare and found peace?
No one knows anything anymore.
“Let’s go.”
Li Ming held Kurosawa's hand tightly and led her up the dark stairs.
When he returned to the first floor, Kurosawa felt that the air was eerily quiet. He looked out the window and saw that although the sky was still dark, the raging snowstorm had miraculously stopped.
After that, the two simply packed up, dug out the college students' SUV from the snow, and then drove it away from the villa.
——At first, the navigation seemed to be broken and kept reporting errors, but after driving for a while, it returned to normal.
Checking today's date, they were surprised to find that a month had passed since their departure. I'm afraid that during those days of repeated reincarnations in the villa, time in the outside world was still flowing step by step.
In any case, no matter how hard they searched, no one found any trace of the villa. Looking at the past news, you will find that five students from the University of Tokyo once disappeared, but that was seven years ago.
Embracing a secret that no one knew, the two of them drove home.
"...Is this really good?"
Li Ming held the steering wheel and asked in a low voice.
"Those students...even though I later found out that they were dead people, on that first night, when I pushed Uesugi-kun away in a panic, I didn't know anything and watched him hit his head. The moment I lost consciousness at the corner of the table, what I thought of was not to discuss it with you or surrender, but to hide his body..."
"Perhaps from that moment on, I have been an out-and-out murderer. Maybe everything that happened after that was my punishment."
"But you are different. You are innocent...even if killing everyone is the only way to escape , you shouldn’t have been involved. But I still used your power and even caused you to have the experience of killing someone.”
“What’s the point?” Ze pursed her lips and could not say the word "script".
“If I didn’t have your help this time, I don’t know how long I would have struggled alone and how many times I would have done useless work? Now I want to throw away the unnecessary persistence and confess everything to you from the beginning. The most correct solution. "
"I thought it was for your own good, but instead caused you to repeat the terrible experience so many times... I'm so stupid."
Li Ming in this white dream is also quite cute.
Kurosawa thought so.
"Then... Confession, does it still count?"
"You still talk about that... Forget about that kind of thing, everything that happened there was just a dream, put it aside Forget it!" Li Ming was a little embarrassed.
“It’s impossible for me to forget.”
"Eh? This is...I am a murderer. Although no one will take me seriously even if I surrender now, I have indeed killed five people, many times. In this way, I can continue to be your friend. , I am already thankful."
He turned away with a blushing face. The snowy scene outside the window reflected his red ears. After a long time, he spoke in a low voice.
"Please take care of me from now on...my famous detective and accomplice."
...
It was a sudden stop.
No, it's time to wake up from a dream.
Walking up from his dream, Kurosawa came back to his senses. In front of him were Li Ming and others from before, as well as Mr. Shanshi who was looking at him with interest.
"It can be seen... Miss Kurosawa seems to have had a sweet dream." Shanshi rubbed his hands with a greedy smile on his face, "How is it? This time I arranged a white dream for you , what do you think?”
“Tampering with the character...Although Baimeng brought me very real memories, as far as tampering with the character is concerned, From one aspect, this white dream is still rubbish, the worst of all," Kurosawa said coldly, "The tricks in it are also very disgusting. I really don't know what the people who designed this white dream were thinking. What, on the surface, I am very interested in mystery novels, but that’s just the surface.”
“An expected answer.”
Mr. Shanshi didn't seem surprised. He had a strange smile on his face. He then took out a black coupon from Jiang Wenkan's pocket, divided it into three parts with a dazzling technique, and then threw it into the sky. When it fell, it turned into ashes.
“But I don’t care too much about your feedback. After all, personally, this is indeed a bad dream, but from a design perspective, I still appreciate it... "Then let's start the third white dream. Finishing it as early as possible will also help my after-sales service. Being an announcer all the time has made me feel bored enough. "
Mr. Shanshi. He stretched out his right hand to press his lips, yawned, and said somewhat boredly.
"Then the third act follows, the rebirth of death..."
"This time I will use the same setting method as the white dream that Ms. Kurosawa experienced. I am really looking forward to the ending of this white dream... As for the remaining people, please rest peacefully."
As these unexplained words came out of Mr. Shanshi’s mouth, strange dust swirled in front of everyone’s eyes, and the scene changed sharply.
"The shadow hidden in this city..."
"Some kind of vague sign..."
"The person who appears in front of you is still that person 》
"How will dramas of the same kind and different kinds end?"
......
On this Sunday in October, an ordinary and wonderful afternoon, in ordinary daily life, Li In the inexplicable fatigue and boredom of autumn, I looked at the red spots bitten by mosquitoes and complained about the extremely ferocious mosquitoes in this season.
Suddenly the phone vibrated and received a notification from the nursing home.
Li Dang blinked and came back to his senses, and the set memories swept into his mind like a tide——
The full name of the sanatorium, which exists as a place for mental patients in this world, is "Kawaha".
The message on the mobile phone displayed, or rather informed, the news of the death of Utsumi Ye, the director of Kawaha Sanatorium, and invited Li Ming to attend the farewell party tonight. The content was quite business-like, and it seemed Like a message sent from the address book.
Dean Utsumi...
It's just an ordinary friendship... not a deep friendship.
But since they had posted obituaries based on their address book, it was still impossible not to go. Li Ming digested the facts on his own, and when he was about to accept the invitation, there was a sudden knock on his desk.
Looking up, he saw Jiang Wenkan with a long-lost smile.
The two looked at each other and already knew most of the information about each other.
What Jiang Wenkan pushed in front of Li Dang was a piece of information about a missing person.
"Regarding the case of missing persons, a preliminary evidence collection investigation was conducted yesterday, but the police officer in charge of this matter took leave today due to illness, so the superiors asked me to hand over this information to you." Jiang Wenkan said Spreading his hands, "I really don't understand why I should continue to play the role of a policeman... I actually don't know much about these professions." What a good impression."
"Do you think I have it? When I was assigned as a police officer in Baimeng World, Yuan Qingyu laughed at me for a while. "But speaking of which, do you know anything about the Xinjiu Group? I always feel..."
"You don't have to worry about me anymore. It's better to solve all these white dreams as soon as possible. We have wasted most of our time in white dreams... Do you still remember our original purpose? It was to go to Riichi University to find Kurosawa Mi The whereabouts of the flower girl Kurosawa Watermelon..."
When Jiang Wenkan said this, Li Dian remembered it. He did some calculations and found that they were already there. A lot of time was wasted in white dreams, and there were almost a dozen white dreams...
It was all caused by heavy dreams...
Refocus on the missing person information in front of me. , with these words written in black printing fonts -
"Missing person: Ishishima Kawana, female, 29 years old, general employee.
Alarm record:
The missing time was unknown until last night when her black cat went to cause trouble at the neighbor's house next door. Unable to bear the disturbance, the neighbor came to visit, but found a vague smell coming from the house and the food was rancid. , the house was covered with dust, and it looked like no one had been there for several days, so the police were called.
Photos of the scene:
From the photos, you can see that Shidao’s house is relatively messy, covered with a thin layer of dust, and there is an overturned cat bowl on the floor, as well as bookshelves and desks. , wall calendar and personal computer. "
"Have you asked them to investigate these things?" Li Dang asked lazily, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and quickly entered the state.
"It has been investigated. These are documents." Jiang Wenkan took out a few sheets from a stack of white paper and handed them to the young man in front of him. "Disappearance cases are relatively common..."
Li Ming knew His last sentence was a complaint, or a sigh, so he didn't pay attention to him. He just thought that his father was one of the missing cases when he was a child... It must have touched some of his heartstrings.
"The calendar on the wall, Ms. Ishishima is the type who puts a tick on the calendar every day. You can see the date of the previous week. The circle drawn on it means that she is asking for leave. During the three days of leave, After that, I didn’t check or draw any more circles until this week. Suddenly I got a tick. "
The picture attached to the document shows ticks from the 1st to the 7th, and circles from the 8th to the 10th, which means asking for leave, and the 11th to the 13th. There was no sign of a check or circle, but on the fourteenth day there was suddenly a check.
It feels quite strange.
"Computer search records, Ms. Shijima has searched records for colds, orthostatic hypotension, malnutrition, etc."
"The table is not well organized, but you can see cold medicines placed separately."
Others are nothing suspicious.
Just as Li Dang was pondering the meaning of this, Jiang Wenkan's cell phone suddenly rang, and soon he heard a new message -
There was a new missing person. Report the crime.
Then the two of them tidied up their clothes and immediately went to the home of the missing person, my grandson Yuzhang.
Investigation instructions from documents sent by senior management: My grandson is a forty-year-old male programmer. He has a wife and a daughter in elementary school at home. My grandson asked for leave a few days ago because of physical discomfort. I was quite resistant to the hospital at home, but I still went to the hospital at the request of my wife and daughter. When the diagnosis came out, it was just ordinary anemia. After two days of treatment in the hospital, my condition had improved a lot.
The motive for reporting the crime was that my grandson suddenly disappeared three nights ago. I also considered the possibility of running away from home, but this was quickly denied by my family because my grandson’s mobile phone was still on the phone. Home.
