Chapter 35: Natsukasa
"Hello, my real name is Dong Xie."
Dong Xie stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xia Li in front of him.
"Mr. Dong," Xia Li was naturally not surprised by Dong Xie's use of a pseudonym, "Can you tell me what the word resident means?" Can you let me know? ”
Dong Xie thought for a while and said, "What is the reason you want to know?" ”
"I said," Natsukasa's eyes were unwavering, "I have a wish that I want to fulfill no matter what, but that wish can only be fulfilled by supernatural means. ”
Dong Xie was stunned for a moment, he thought for a moment and asked, "What wish?"
"Is it possible to resurrect the dead?"
"I'm sorry...... This can't be done. ”
Xia Li's expression was extremely disappointed, and after a while, he replied, "So, can you find someone whose name, look, or even gender I don't know?" ”
This suddenly made Dong Xie stunned: "You...... You ......"
How does this sound like the evil spirit of the Blood Word this time?
"Hmm......" Natsuka then added, "The reason I want to kill that person is that that person killed all my relatives and lovers. But the police have not been able to find out his identity so far. ”
When Dong Xie heard "lover", he immediately remembered Ah Ning.
This made him have a deep empathy for Natsukasa.
"You're so clever ...... Can't find the killer? ”
"Reasoning may have given the world an illusion," Natsuka raised his finger and pointed to his head, "In fact, the difficulty of achieving a perfect crime is not as high as imagined. Those criminals who have obvious motives for killing in their reasoning have to get complicated alibis, secret room tricks, incredible murder methods, etc., to exclude their suspicions, in fact, it is easier to be exposed. ”
"Yes, my sister...... That's what I've always said before. When she watched Conan with me, she always guessed the real culprit before I did. ”
In fact, most of the murderous methods in the reasoning are not possible at all, let alone perfect crimes. However, on a deserted country road, an outsider temporarily took money and took his life, and quickly fled, even if he found Conan Kaneda and Sherlock Holmes together, he couldn't find the real murderer. We grew up with an education that the net of justice should be restored, but in reality, criminal cases can only be easily solved if there is a clear motive for killing. ”
At this, his voice dimmed.
"That's the case for me. The real murderer I am looking for has not been caught. The man didn't leave any hair, fingerprints or anything like that, and I've spent seven years trying everything to find that person. Perhaps, only supernatural means can find it. ”
Dong Xie immediately explained to him: "If you have a wish that you want to achieve no matter what...... Let me start by making a statement......"
"It's dangerous, isn't it?" Natsu Kasa was not surprised by this at all, "The supernatural existence behind you needs you to be in constant contact with this kind of ghost, right?" ”
"Yes, it takes about ten of these tasks to make a wish come true."
"Ten times?" Natsu Kasa nodded and said, "It's much less than I expected. Why do evil spirits call you a resident? ”
"The place where we live is an apartment ......"
Dong Xie explained everything about the Hell Apartment to Xia Li in the shortest words possible. However, he has not yet said anything about the entrance to hell.
"Ten blood word tasks can grant a wish. You can even make a wish to kill him outright. ”
"I'll put that person to justice." Xia Li is extremely sober about this: "Killing him like this will not achieve the purpose of sanctioning him for me at all." If you let him die instantly, it is equivalent to letting him go through the process without any pain. As for the apartment, it was much less dangerous than I expected, and as long as the evil spirits were completely under the control of the apartment rules, I was confident enough to complete it at least seven times. ”
At this time, Yuan Ping on the side hurriedly said: "Wait, me, then what should I do?" You can take him back to the apartment, but I'm alone on the island, if no one comes to save me......"
Yuan Ping was still very optimistic when he landed on the island before, because there were six people around him to accompany him, and he felt that he could always come up with a way. But now...... Once the canned food is finished, he'll have to be stranded on the island all the time!
"Based on what I know about apartments...... Dong Xie thought for a while and said, "This island should be in a very remote location. But this time the blood is over, maybe the ship will pass through here. ”
"But...... There's no guarantee that I'll arrive before I've eaten all the food! Me, my fishing level is also very poor...... I'm going to go crazy if I'm alone on this island......"
"Then will you go back to the apartment with me?" Dong Xie asked: "I can return to the apartment in an instant, and it can be realized with just one thought." All you have to do is take my hand and I will take you back. But...... What that means, you know very well. ”
Yuan Ping grabbed his hair, walked a few steps in place, and finally said, "Forget it, let's go back with you!" You can live to the sixth blood word, you should ...... It won't be too hard, right? ”
"Most people don't live to my bloody word." Dong Xie reminded him: "Do you think you can have this luck?" Becoming a condominium resident is a desperate journey. ”
"But...... I'm just on the island alone? ”
"I have to go back. I'll give you five minutes to think about it at the end. Then, Dong Xie looked at Xia Li again: "I'll give you five minutes to think about it too." ”
"What I decide, I won't change."
"You...... In order to find the murderer, do you not hesitate to sacrifice your own life? ”
"The happiest years of my life so far were when I was 22 years old. But after that, my life was destroyed. ”
"You ......"
"I believe in logic. But in this world, the most painful thing is also logic. Because the logic of reality is the most cold and ruthless. No matter how painful the reality is, it will follow the logic and happen as usual. Literature, poetry, and music can be produced in conjunction with human feelings, but logic does not. ”
Dong Xie thought about his experience again.
When people are in great pain, they prefer to refuse to accept reality. When people are full of hope, they are willing to believe even things that are illogical. Thus, religion and psychology arose from this.
"I'm willing to risk my life, and I'm going to find that man." Xia Li's eyes were extremely sharp for the first time, "I don't want to accept this cruel reality and spend my life like this." ”
"This way...... It was hard and painful, and many people tried everything to get out of that hellish apartment. ”
"The world we live in is a hell from which there is no escape."
Dong Xie was stunned when he heard this.
"It is only when people run because reality follows their interests that they have the illusion that this world is not hell but heaven."
This sentence stunned both Dong Xie and Yuan Ping.
"However, there is no eternal happiness in this world. Only loss and giving up are the majority of life. For me, I couldn't find that person, and whether I stayed in that apartment or not, I was living in hell. Believe me, Mr. Dong, death is not pain, sometimes, life is. ”
……
The hall of the apartment.
Dong Xie is back here.
He came back with Natsukasa.
In the end, Yuan Ping did not choose to come back together, he was still frightened by the description of the apartment mentioned by Dong Xie. And on that island, if you rely on fishing, you can still support it for a long time.
And what his fate will be on that isolated island is not up to Dong Xie to control. He didn't even know where the island was, let alone how to rescue him.
Natsu Kasa appeared in the hall of the apartment, and the shadow under his feet immediately drove him to start moving on his own.
At this time, the elevator opened, and a young woman who was munching on an apple walked out.
She just happened to see Natsukasa, who was driven by the shadow, walking up, and was stunned.
"New ...... Household? So, you're executing the same blood letter as me? ”
This young woman who gnawed on an apple was Zhu Yuyan, the new resident who entered the apartment when Xie Ruoni executed the blood characters of the train!
