Chapter 8 What is needed and what is requested
The strange scene on the TV is enough to frighten ordinary people into incontinence.
Jason is used to it.
Even, the corners of his mouth curled.
Because, he smelled a faint smell of 'food'.
From the television in front of him, from the deep well, Jason's face was full of excitement as he stared at the well, watching a miserable white palm sticking out of the deep well.
How should I eat this?
Did you just eat the TV?
Or do you want to take it apart and eat it?
Just as Jason was thinking, a woman dressed in white had crawled out of the well.
She?
Let's call it that.
She seems to have 'seen' Jason.
She was crawling with a unique rhythm, and her body was so stiff.
And then......
Slowly retreated.
That's right!
It was to return to the deep well again.
It's not all.
The deep well began to move away from Jason's watchful eye.
It's like zooming out the camera.
Moreover, it doesn't end there.
Just when Jason raised his hand to touch the TV, trying to stop something like this from happening-
Zila!
Bang!
There was a burst of electricity, accompanied by a muffled sound, and thick black smoke came out of the TV.
The TV exploded.
This?!
Jason frowned.
And Hui Lijing, who was still hesitating in the corridor at the door, couldn't care so much, quickly took off her shoes and ran in.
[Zhu Bajie] "This is 'Rock Electric' bought? ”
"It shouldn't be."
"Although Boss Rock's things are a little more expensive, the quality of the things is definitely not a problem."
Hui Lijing looked at the still smoking TV, a little stunned.
As a neighbor, she still knows the owner of the 'Rock Electric'.
Although I'm old and a little nagging, I'm a really nice person.
Buying and selling second-hand household appliances is also because they can't be idle, after all, half of the street they sit on is the old man's.
The mere collection of rent is already enviable.
The money for buying and selling second-hand home appliances is really a drop in the bucket compared to it.
"It must have been my mistake."
Jason said.
Jason is not a random slanderer.
Although he doesn't mind being cunning when facing the enemy, the enemy is the enemy whose best result is death.
As for the others?
Jason was just vigilant.
"Are you an electrical idiot?"
"Such a simple operation can be blown up."
"I'm going to ask Boss Rock and see if he can do anything."
With that, Hui Lijing turned around and hurriedly ran out.
Looking at Hui Lijing's anxious and panicked look, Jason couldn't help but shake his head.
Although he is not a detective in the true sense of the word.
But he knows very well that Hui Lijing still has a long way to go if she wants to become a real detective.
Then, Jason's eyes turned to the smoking TV again.
The 'weird' who just appeared on TV seems to recognize him.
It's the same as the 'weird' in the tea bowl.
Does he have such fame?
Or is his 'self' capable of doing this?
It was the first time he had set foot here since noon today.
Before, it could only be his 'own' who did it.
But if the other party can do it to this extent, then how can the things in that diary happen!
It doesn't happen, but it happens.
That's the contradiction!
It's suspicious.
It's going to be a failure.
If the other party really achieves this level, he must not allow such flaws.
So......
Can these 'weird' sense my breath?
It's like a river, where a drinking herbivore meets a carnivore.
If that's the case, it's troublesome!
Jason frowned.
If his guess is true, it will be extremely difficult to hunt for pleasure in this dungeon world.
The 'food' fled from the wind.
He didn't even have a chance to touch it, so how could he eat?
It's like 'weird' just now.
You can't just eat a TV when the other party just appears, right?
In fact......
It's not impossible!
Jason touched his chin and thought for a moment.
If he had eaten the entire TV just now, he would have eaten at least some of the food, even if he couldn't eat all of it, and he would have lost a lot of taste, but it would not have been without gain.
"Do you want to eat it right away?"
Jason thought, his brow furrowed again.
Cautious by nature, he couldn't help but think of some other possibilities.
What if the 'food' is spoiled?
What if there is poison in the 'food'?
What if the 'food' is a trap?
In case of......
More just in case came out of Jason's mind, and Jason immediately shook his head, and he threw this one by one out of his mind.
"We must get in touch with the 'mysterious side' of the world in front of us as soon as possible."
"Since the 'weird' has changed differently, there is naturally a way to deal with it on the 'mysterious side'."
Jason thought, and his eyes returned to the business card.
'Master Tongshouji'!
I wonder how Officer Ryosuke is investigating?
……
Nibbling on the vegetarian pancake in his hand and drinking water, Ryosuke sat in the co-pilot, his brows furrowed.
There should have been sausages in the pancakes for dinner, but now?
It's nice to have a slice of lettuce.
Bottled water is also unaffordable.
You can only use a thermos cup to go to the restaurant.
The eggs for breakfast also had to be sacrificed.
The soup for lunch had to be discarded.
The thought that such a day would last at least a month, just because he said a lot of treats, Ryosuke's brows furrowed even tighter, which made Urashima, who was sitting in the driver's seat, chew a lot quieter.
The young policeman's dinner was also vegetarian pancakes.
However, I didn't ask for lettuce.
He chose pickles.
It is salty and spicy, and the water is also hot water from the store.
A bite of vegetarian pancakes, a sip of water.
The crispiness is at first, salty and spicy in the mouth, and then, mixed with water, swallow.
Urashima couldn't help but laugh.
It's delicious.
Although not as good as the usual dinner.
But there's also a different taste.
Especially Ryosuke's seniors are like this together.,It's really good.。
The young man, who was extremely satisfied, ate while looking at the temple not far away.
Tong Shouji!
A very small and very small temple.
If it weren't for Jason's information, they wouldn't have noticed even if they passed by Tong Shou Town.
After all, the entire bustling street market has long since hidden this small temple, not to mention the elementary school in the distance.
"Senior, have you noticed ......?"
The young man stared at the Tong Shouji Temple in the distance, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to describe it.
"The small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city."
Ryosuke said slowly.
"Yes!"
"That's how it feels!"
"I didn't feel anything when I didn't discover this temple, but when I knew it and saw it, I always had a feeling that something was out of the ordinary."
The young man nodded repeatedly.
"It's naturally not easy to be able to get involved with that guy."
Ryosuke said very naturally.
The young man knew that the guy was referring to Jason.
For Jason, who ate 271 yuan for one meal, the young man remembers it vividly.
However, apart from being able to eat, tall and strong, the young man had no other impression of Jason.
"You have to be wary of guys like that."
"I smell some bastard in him."
"But even those bastards are just kids compared to that guy."
Ryosuke told his assistant.
He didn't want his assistant to drape the flag one day.
Faced with such a solemn admonition, the young man immediately nodded seriously.
Then, the young man saw Ryosuke push the door and get out of the car.
"Stay in the car."
"I'll be back in half an hour."
"If I don't come back, you go back to the police station immediately."
Ryosuke blocks the assistant who wants to get out of the car.
"Yes, Senpai."
The young man nodded in response, but with confusion on his face.
According to the rules, he and Ryosuke need to act together.
And customarily, too.
Nothing will happen, right?
Thinking of Ryosuke's abnormality, the young man looked worried.
Can you disobey Ryosuke's orders?
Young people don't have the guts.
I can only look at Ryosuke's back worriedly.
Ryosuke could clearly feel his young assistant's concern, but he didn't comfort him, he wasn't used to doing it, and everything in front of him didn't give him a chance to do so.
He stared at the figure that appeared on the edge of the Tongshou Temple with a serious face, and then quickly walked into the Tongshou Temple.
Iwashita!
A bastard in his mouth.
Outlaws!
Ten years ago, there were three burglaries, each time killing the owner and plundering property.
Then, he was arrested by his own hands.
But during the escort, the other party actually killed the escort and ran away.
What's more, the other party snatched the escort's gun.
Then, just as they were waiting, the bastard vanished.
Disappeared without a trace.
It seems that it has never appeared in this world.
Ryosuke once put a lot of effort into searching for the other party.
But nothing came of it.
In the end, I had to keep the other party in my mind.
But what Ryosuke didn't expect was that he actually saw this bastard outside the 'Tong Shouji Temple'.
Is this a coincidence?
Still is......
Pitfall?
As an experienced criminal police officer, Ryosuke thought almost subconsciously.
Of course, he had more than that.
There is also the mystery of the other party's disappearance back then.
'Someone helped Iwashita'!
Everyone can be sure of this, otherwise, how could a wanted criminal disappear.
Who is the person who helped Iwashita?
There are many answers.
Each one is not so good.
The worst one, and it made Ryosuke want to break the teeth of the guy who said this.
actually said that he helped the other party.
Damn it!
This is the reason why Ryosuke gets angry every time he thinks about it.
Of course, this is not a big reason why he left his assistant behind.
The most important reason is –
I can't!
What about the others?
What about the other bastards?
Ryosuke thought instinctively.
He couldn't trust more people than himself.
Even if it's a 'newcomer'.
Because of the 'Iwashita incident', he is constantly investigating.
With such an investigation, he has discovered that there is a different kind of power hidden around him.
He couldn't confirm who it was.
But!
It's a powerful force!
And, everywhere!
At least some of the colleagues he came into contact with who seemed to be normal were most likely accomplices of that force, and those colleagues were all honest and law-abiding in the eyes of ordinary people.
But secretly......
He couldn't confirm more.
So, he had to be careful!
Can't trust anyone.
It's like a lone wolf who has left a pack of wolves.
Taking a deep breath, Ryosuke cautiously stepped into the 'Tong Shouji Temple'.
It's the same as the 'Childshou Temple' you see outside.
'Tong Shou Temple' is very small, as long as you step over the threshold, you can see the whole picture of Tong Shou Temple, the door of the main hall is open, and a Buddha statue looks gentle and kind under the lamplight.
The side hall door on the left is closed.
The side hall door on the right is open.
A kind old monk was there tidying up some chores.
There is no apse in the entire 'Tong Shou Temple'.
Everything is in front of you.
What about Iwashita?
Ryosuke thought about it and walked towards the old monk.
"Hello, I'm ......"
"Let's rest our feet."
"There's tea here."
Before Ryosuke finished introducing himself, he was interrupted by the old monk.
"Master, I'm not ......"
"Yes, yes."
"Follow me."
The old monk said with a smile, and then walked towards the main hall.
No incense was given to the Buddha statue.
There is no intention of worshipping.
The old monk took Ryosuke around the Buddha statue.
Ryosuke's pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw the rocks!
Sitting there, Iwashita, who looked indifferent, also saw Ryosuke, first startled, and then, the wanted man smiled and pulled out his gun.
Ryosuke is the same.
Moreover, the trigger was pulled at a faster speed.
And it didn't aim at the point.
Instead, he aimed at Iwasha's gun-wielding arm.
Bang bang bang!
……
The clear water flows down the bamboo tube into the 'startling deer'.
When the weight of the water reached a certain limit, the 'Frightened Deer' moved, pouring all the water into the 'squat' below, and then the 'Frightened Deer' reverberated and struck the rock.
Kiss!
The bamboo tube collides with the rocks.
Suddenly, a crisp sound answered in the courtyard.
One did not fall, and one rose again.
The handsome man knelt under the eaves, he looked at the courtyard with a smile on his face, holding a folding fan in one hand, and gently tapping the palm of Ling's hand.
Each blow was accompanied by the knock of the 'startled deer'.
Smack, smack.
Boo, boo.
Soon, the sound of percussion merged with the impact of the 'startled deer'.
The two are indistinguishable from each other.
The aura of a handsome man also blends in with the entire courtyard.
A special feeling appeared in him.
Let the waiter hidden in the shadows have a kind of trance.
It seems that the handsome man has disappeared.
All that's left is the courtyard.
Soon, however, the waiter saw his lord's house again.
"How's it going?"
"That policeman named Ryosuke has already bitten the bait and entered the 'Tong Shouji'."
Facing the inquiry of the master's family, the waiter said honestly.
"Good."
"Still, there are a few people missing."
"Let's get them in quickly."
"Especially that Jason."
The handsome man commanded.
"Yes, sir."
The waiter bowed and walked down.
Only the handsome man was left, whispering to himself—
"Do you really think you'll be able to get out of the way?"
