Chapter 7: Ryunosuke's Philosophy of Murder
Ryunosuke Woo doesn't like bloody and violent movies, but he can also understand the necessity of that kind of entertainment.
Not only horror films, but also war films, disaster films, and even simple adventure films and serials, why do these fictional entertainment programs always take the trouble to depict "human death"?
This may be because the audience can peek at these fictional "deaths" from a safe angle, and this fear is minimized.
Human beings are proud of their "wisdom" and are full of fear of the "unknown", but no matter how terrifying the object is, as long as they have "experienced" it and "understood" it, then they can conquer terror with this rational understanding.
However, there is only such a thing as "death...... It is something that cannot be experienced when it is alive, and it is impossible to truly understand it, so human beings who have nothing to do can only rely on observing the death of others to try to understand the nature of death and simulate the experience.
As a civilized society, human life is respected, so death can only be experienced by relying on fictional content. However, in a war-torn place where people around them are bombed at any time during meals, no one wants to watch horror movies.
In the same way, whether it is physical pain or mental stress, fictional entertainment can work for all the misfortunes of life.
If it is very risky for us to experience those things ourselves, then we rely on observing others to gain understanding, to overcome fear, to dispel that anxiety.
That's why movie screens and TV screens are filled with tears of sorrow, sighs, and anguish.
That's good, I can understand that Ryunosuke used to be like these people, full of fear of "death", those "stale deaths" that perfectly reproduce the horrific corpses and splashes of pink blood with realistic acting, if watching these can mentally conquer the fear of death, then Ryunosuke should also become a fan of horror movies.
But for Ryunosuke, he seems to have an extraordinary keen ability to distinguish between the truth and the fake of the "death" thing.
For him, these fictional horrors seem a little ridiculous, whether it is the plot or the pictures, there are pediatric things everywhere, from which the so-called "essence of death" cannot even be experienced at all.
Although it is not uncommon to see statements that so-called fictional depictions of violence will have a bad impact on teenagers, for Ryunosuke Yuyu, these are just very ridiculous jokes.
If the blood and screams in horror movies had been a little more realistic, he might not have become the murderer he is now.
It's just the result of that kind of urgent curiosity, and Ryunosuke wants to know what the so-called "death" is like, the color of the blood spurting out of the arteries, and the temperature of an organ in the abdominal cavity that he touches with his hands. Pull them all out.
There is nothing more real than the pain that the victim felt before death and the desperate wail before death.
People think that murder is a crime, but it's better to think about how many people live on this earth, and what a staggering number that Ryunosuke is deeply aware of.
When he was a child, he had counted the gravel in the sand piles in the park, and he would never forget the frustration of counting to 10,000, and the human life was 500,000 times that number. And it is said that life and death are still alternating in tens of thousands of units every day, so how heavy are the people killed by Ryunosuke's hands?
And when Ryunosuke kills a person, it completely makes that person realize the whole of death, and sometimes even allows a person to experience the process of "dying to death" for more than half a day.
The information, stimulus, and experience that comes with the death of this person is more meaningful than prolonging a worthless life.
With that in mind, it's more appropriate to say that Ryunosuke is not so much killing people as he is performing an act of creation.
With this belief, Ryunosuke traveled from place to place while killing people continuously, not because he was afraid of being punished by the law.
In fact, the feeling of being handcuffed and detained -- after seeing many of the like them -- had come to the point where he had "understood" them to the point where he did not feel horrified at all, whether it was the gallows or the electric chair, the manner of death had been completely "observed".
Therefore, if there is a reason for him to escape the pursuit of the judicial authorities, it is only because before he gave up his life and freedom, even if he went to prison, he could not get anything, and compared with going to prison, he believed that the kind of unrestrained, happy and active healthy life is the right way to live.
He was completely intoxicated with the joy of being drained of the vitality of the person he killed, the nostalgia for life, anger and attachment, and the various manifestations of those victims before their death can be said to be a microcosm of their lives, which has a deep meaning.
Those who look ordinary behave very strangely when they die, and those who feel strange on the contrary look extremely ordinary when they die - Ryunosuke, who has observed many of these human expressions, has a deeper understanding of the opposite of death, life, while exploring death and understanding death.
The more people he killed, the deeper his understanding of life.
The so-called understanding and judging of such things itself gives a sense of majesty.
Yes, I can't find a perfect word to describe Ryunosuke's charm - if I had to say it, then "very cool" would say everything about him.
Let's say, let's say you go to a bar or club in style, and you don't know anything about the place and how to have fun when you're not comfortable with the venue.
But as long as you go there a lot, gradually grasp the rules there, become a regular visitor and be welcomed there, you can even use your words and deeds to influence everything there, which should be called a relatively cool lifestyle.
For Ryunosuke. Completely accustomed to and enjoying sitting in the chair known as human life, he is a man who plays purely for the sake of playing, and he is constantly looking for the next victim as if he were trying out a new cocktail recipe, and he has a lot of fun doing it.
In fact, there is no need for any analogy, when it comes to the wind and moon field at night, Ryunosuke is like a bright light to lure a moth, always able to attract the attention of the opposite sex to him, his graceful and free and easy and full of mysterious majesty, these pure charms are all fatal temptations to women.
The result of these charms made him always live in the pleasure of glamour, and for the girls he really liked, they often became lumps of flesh covered in blood, thus becoming his closer friends.
The streets at night are Ryunosuke's hunting grounds, and the prey doesn't feel threatened by Ryunosuke as a predator until they are caught.
Once, when he saw a cheetah on the Animal World program, he was deeply moved by the cheetah's elegant demeanor. He felt an immense affinity for the cheetah's distinctive hunting methods, the beast known as the cheetah, a creature that perfectly fits his conscious definition of COOL.
So after that, Ryunosuke has been imagining himself as a cheetah in his consciousness.
Even the emblem of the leopard is decorated everywhere on the clothes. Shirts and trousers, hats and shoes, even socks and panties, handkerchiefs and gloves are all on top.
The amber opal ring, if not worn on the middle finger, must have been carried in his pocket, and the necklace made of real leopard teeth never left his side for a moment.
However, even a murderous maniac like Ryunosuke Yusheng has recently fallen into the distress of "no passion".
Having seduced more than thirty victims, and having tried almost all kinds of torture and torture methods, he no longer felt the novelty.
Ryunosuke, who had tried every method he could think of, could not regain the excitement and emotion he had experienced no matter how cruel and humiliating he was to his prey now.
In order to be able to return to the original point and regain the feeling he had before, Ryunosuke returned to his hometown after a five-year absence, waiting until his parents had slept in the dead of night. He walked alone through the earthen barn in the backyard. Hidden in this earthen barn is the first victim of his renunciation of family affection.
My sister, who I haven't seen for five years, has been waiting for her younger brother in this earthen barn house, except for a slight change in appearance.
Facing his sister who didn't complain, Ryunosuke felt discouraged when he thought he had run away in vain, and it was at this time that he found an old book that was a little moldy in the mountains of rags in the warehouse.
This is an ancient book bound in Japanese with wormholes, and it is not a printed matter, but a personal handwriting.
The date inside says Keio 9, which seems to have been written more than 100 years ago during the end of the Edo period.
For Ryunosuke, who had read through Hanshu since he was a student, it was not difficult to read this notebook - but it was not easy to understand what was written in it.
The tiny words were piled up on the paper in a mess, and the writing was as ridiculous as witchcraft, but judging by the words scattered on the page, such as Christ and Satan, it seemed to be a description of Western gods and monsters.
Offering a human body as a sacrifice to a demon in another world to summon Shikijin Yunyun is a fantasy novel-like world.
At the end of the Edo period, Western science was classified as heretical, and the most heretical of them was this kind of book about Western gods and monsters, although the things written in it were not very credible, but Ryunosuke didn't care about the authenticity of the content of the book.
Just by looking out of the old books in the warehouse of my hometown, it is already very cool and FUNNY.
The murderer's regaining the passion to kill is the most exciting.
Ryunosuke quickly moved his stronghold to the "Land of the Spirit Vein" as recorded in the book, and began his night hunt again.
Although it is unknown what is magical in this land now known as Fuyuki City, Ryunosuke has already begun to prepare for it, and his murder plan is faithfully reproduced as much as possible as described in ancient books.
First of all, the first step is to sacrifice a girl who does not return home at night as a living sacrifice in an abandoned factory, which is even more exciting and interesting than imagined. This kind of ritual killing that he had never experienced completely attracted Ryunosuke, and he couldn't stop it, and he carried out his rituals one after another, this once peaceful local town, now fell into the abyss of terror.
Then, the fourth crime - this time the target was a family of four in the middle of the residential area, and Ryunosuke, who had infiltrated it, although he was intoxicated with the incomparable pleasure of committing the crime, but after all, it was the fourth time that the same crime had been committed, and the impulsive enthusiasm cooled a little, and in the corner of his mind, the warning of reason began to echo quietly in his ears.
Let's be a little more restrained, maybe it's a little too much this time.
So far, Ryunosuke has been constantly changing locations across the country to kill people, he never kills people twice in the same place, and the disposal of corpses is also very thoughtful, among the people who died at the hands of Ryunosuke, more than half of them are still considered missing, and it seems that the search is still going on.
But this time, there is no hiding of corpses and physical evidence, and it is a series of killings that cause a lot of discussion, and it is really a very stupid act to think about it carefully, because it is too rigid to the style recorded in the book, and completely forgets the usual prudence.
Especially this time is very difficult, so far the first three times, all failed because of the lack of blood and failed to complete the magic array, so this time in order to complete the magic array, only to get more blood, but to kill the sleeping family, maybe a little too appalling.
In this case, the police will definitely chase the criminals with red eyes, and the vigilance of the local residents will also be improved to varying degrees, in any case, this is not the behavior of the "leopard" who operates secretly.
Anyway, I'm going to leave Fuyuki City after tonight - Ryunosuke made up his mind.
Although he is very fond of this dark ritual and wants to continue to do it in the future, it is better to think carefully about the so-called things that are not enough.
After tidying up a bit, Ryunosuke once again focused on the ritual.
"Fill, fill, fill, fill! Repeat four times - hey, five times? Oops, just a little less...... That's it? Well! ”
Ryunosuke hummed a summoning spell in his nose while drawing the pattern of the magic circle on the floor of the living room with blood, maybe the real ritual should be more solemn, but that oppressive atmosphere is not in line with Ryunosuke's way of doing things, for him, it is not as important as imitating the atmosphere of the ritual to be in a good mood.
Today's magic array,According to the pattern recorded in the book, it was successful once depicted.,If I knew that it was so smooth today.,Those preparations in advance are really a waste of time.,For this time, I deliberately killed my parents, my eldest daughter.。
