[6200 word chapter for the month one hundred and sixteenth chapter Lemon
"Is the one who was eaten just now a policeman?"
"It seems there is another prisoner..."
The group of residents fell into silence for a moment, with only a few people discussing.
Just now, all the surviving residents of the Nara Apartments witnessed an incredible live broadcast——
Through the drone's camera, the man-eating monster passed through a screen set up by the police outside the apartment, and ate a prisoner in prison uniform in front of the screen and the policeman watching him.
Every resident can immersively feel the dynamic images emerging from the screen, as if they are watching a naked-eye 3D movie.
You can't run away, you can't commit suicide, you can't blind your eyes, you can't see it through a screen.
The Ogre has refreshed the residents' understanding of it time and time again.
After a while, messages filled with uneasiness popped up one after another in the group:
"If it's so scary, even if the police really send rescue workers, will it be effective? Their own people were also eaten!"
"Just now, I had a phone call with the police and asked them to arrange for professionals to enter the residents' group. Please note that they are entering the residents' group, not the Nara Apartment, so that they can better understand the dynamics here. It is better and more targeted.
to help solve the monster. As a result, what do you think the police said?"
“It’s not in compliance with the regulations, so I can’t add it?”
"No suitable candidate?"
"Humph, they said that joining the household group will most likely lead to police officers being included in the monster's killing rules. You need to carefully consider it and apply for it at all levels."
"Aren't there those prisoners who died on behalf of others? Wouldn't it be nice to let those prisoners join the group first and give it a try?"
"The devil knows why not... I now seriously suspect that the so-called investigator from Beihai is just a cover to appease us poor residents. The investigator will never come! Or, there is no one who can deal with cannibalism.
Monster investigator!”
"Please calm down first!"
Karasawa Makoto posted this message in the group.
She had come out of her meditative state. The white paper in front of her was filled with monster killing patterns, with various straight and curved arrows drawn on it.
Karasawa Makoto's fingers quickly tapped the keyboard of her phone,
"Do you still remember that I just said that according to the information provided by the police, when the sun rises tomorrow morning, the black fog will dissipate and this man-eating monster will disappear."
"So what?"
"The police also provided an important piece of information - residents will be watched by Nobuhiko Kumada when they step out of the room. The other party will wait on the route of the prey, or find the prey directly. As long as they return to the room, they will be temporarily safe. I think, we
You can use this rule to save yourself!"
"you mean……"
"Isn't the monster always walking upstairs? When it reaches the upper position, the residents downstairs can try to leave the room, and then the monster will come to find the residents who go out, or wait on the path of the residents.
At this time, the resident immediately returns to the room, and it can be temporarily safe. Then, it may return to the previous floor and continue to look for a new target. The resident downstairs will then walk out of the corridor again, and so on. If it can persist,
When the sun rises, maybe we can all survive."
"Hahahaha, it's so whimsical!"
The resident named "Immortal Cat" seemed to be confronting Karasawa Makoto: "Miss Tamai Yumiko, if this monster could be dealt with so easily, wouldn't the police have eliminated it long ago?"
Tamai Yumiko is the name of a supporting actress that Karasawa Makoto likes very much in "Lito Love Story". When chatting in the group just now, Karasawa Makoto temporarily used it as a chat online name.
Karasawa Makoto kept a calm and humble tone as much as possible:
"I know this method is a bit whimsical, but it's better than staying at home and waiting to die, right? Maybe it won't work on the first try. But maybe we can figure out some new rules? Again, again, if it succeeds in the end
It’s better to have a few more people survive than to have them all be eaten in the end.”
"What you said is beautiful, but who will be the first person to walk out of the house?"
It’s still the message sent by the “immortal cat” before——
"Who knows the risk of being eaten by the first person out of the house? Did the police tell you? Unless you are willing to be the first one, I think you, a woman, have bad intentions and are just trying to make everyone worry.
You live your life as a fool who is willing to die... Fortunately, your voice is so nice, and you still use the name of a lovable character like Tamai Yumiko, but I didn't expect that you turned out to be a vicious woman..."
While talking, the live broadcast started again:
A young woman who was typing quickly on her mobile phone with a fierce expression seemed to realize that something was wrong. She quickly raised her head and her face suddenly froze.
The camera pounced...
"Hey, hey! Where's that immortal cat who just kept sending messages to criticize Tamai Yumiko... Why did he stop talking in the middle of the message?"
"No need to call her, she was the one eaten by the monster just now... I have better eyesight. During the live broadcast, I saw that the ID on her mobile phone chat software was Immortal Cat."
"..."
"This ID is so impressive..."
"I'll be the first one out of the house,"
Karasawa Makoto didn't care anymore and typed directly: "If this continues, all of us will eventually be eaten. It would be too cowardly to die like this without doing anything. I would rather fight!"
"If Ms. Tamai Yumiko is really willing to be the first one to walk out of the house, then I am willing to be the second one. After all, as a man, you can't be left too far behind by a woman." Someone responded.
"Then I am the third one! Also a man!"
"I'll be fourth."
"The fifth one is me..."
Makoto Karasawa watched the solitaire games in the group continue to progress, and felt a lot of courage inexplicably.
If there had not been the first person to open the way, there would never have been the last road with people coming and going.
"I'm going out, everyone!"
She walked to the door and grabbed the door handle. At this moment, her cell phone rang - it was the police.
"Miss Karasawa, I have good news for you. The investigator from Beihai has arrived."
"Really?"
"The investigators have arrived at the scene and are understanding the situation of the Nara Apartment. They are looking at the structural diagram of the building and will be able to start the investigation soon. Please pass this news on to all residents in the building. Please stay calm and restrained.
The investigator will find a way to rescue everyone."
"Very good!"
Karasawa Makoto immediately sent the news to the resident group.
Exclamation points, long live, and emoticons of cheers and joy fill the interface of the resident group.
After a while, the police called Karasawa Makoto again:
“Who is the administrator of the household group?”
"I'll go to the group and ask."
"Okay! Please hurry up, the investigator will join your household group later."
"Ah... didn't you say that if you enter the residential group, you might be locked by weird rules?"
"That's true, but this is a request made by the investigator. Not only that, the investigator will personally sneak into the Nara apartment building later to help everyone get out of trouble."
"Ah, great!"
"To be honest, there is a lot of obstruction outside, but this investigator insists on entering the apartment to rescue everyone no matter what. We operators who often provide services to investigators rarely see this kind of situation.
They all feel very admired!”
"Thank you! Thank you very much!"
Soon, Makoto Karasawa added the investigator as a friend and invited him to join the group chat.
The investigator’s online name is [Tongzi].
After seeing the news that the other party successfully joined the group chat, Karasawa Makoto immediately sent a message to the group:
"This Miss Tongzi is the investigator I told you just now, who came all the way from Beihai to help us get out of trouble! The police just told me that it was this lady Tongzi who rescued five people from this monster last time!"
"Really! Is it really the investigator?"
"Long live!"
"Please tell me when you can take us poor residents away from the monster's gaze. I really can't stand it anymore!"
"I'm in the west door on the 23rd floor of unit 7!"
"Excuse me, how can we best cooperate with you?" This message came from Karasawa Makoto.
Tongzi finally sent out a voice:
"Please be patient, I'm ready and will enter the apartment soon. According to what I learned before, Kumada Nobuhiko should have eaten from the first floor to the top, and then reached the first floor to start a new one.
Is it a cycle of cannibalism?"
Hitomi's voice was very soft and firm. After listening to it, Karasawa Makoto immediately felt an inexplicable sense of security pouring out of the screen.
In the household group, many people typed at the same time: "Yes!"
"Please tell me the room numbers of the residents on each floor that have been eaten."
"There is only one unit on the first floor, and the corridor is connected. The room numbers of the residents who were eaten are No. 2 and No. 5!"
"The second floor also has the same corridor. The residents who were eaten are..."
From the first floor to the top floor, the room numbers on each floor where monsters had eaten people were all arranged in an orderly manner in the shortest possible time. Karasawa Makoto couldn't help but sigh, when people face the threat of death, their potential is indeed infinite.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation! I'm ready. Everyone, we will probably meet in a certain room in the apartment later."
After saying this, there was no news from Tongzi.
Although the investigator named Hitoko Obayashi seemed very confident, Makoto Karasawa couldn't help but feel worried for her when she thought about the terrifying man-eating monster that she had to face alone.
According to the rules that have been established before, if a person enters the Nara apartment, the monster will immediately target her, right?
Soon, the next live broadcast will come.
Karasawa Makoto clenched his fists.
But this time the person who appears in the first-person lens is not Hitomi, but a family of four living in a Nara apartment—a middle-aged couple and two children who are about elementary school age.
The family was in the living room, forming a circle, hugging each other with their heads down, and no one dared to raise their heads.
The camera moved closer. The middle-aged man seemed to be locked in the camera and was about to raise his head unconsciously.
At this time, the camera suddenly shook, and the middle-aged man seemed to have escaped from the mental lock and suddenly lowered his head.
The camera went black for an instant, and when the picture appeared again, it seemed like we were on the first floor of the apartment...
The camera is located approximately at the exit of the staircase on the first floor.
Not far away it aimed at the door of Room 5, where a woman with short hair wearing headphones was facing away. She ducked into Room 5 and quickly closed the door. She was facing away from the camera.
The camera walked towards Room 5, but in the end it just passed by and left quickly.
The screen disappears.
"That woman with short hair..."
"Is it Mr. Investigator?"
"It's me." Tongzi replied.
The residents were boiling——
“!!!!”
"Long live!"
"It's saved! We're saved!"
"Investigator! How did you do it?"
"Is it really like what Tamai Yumiko said just now? As long as someone downstairs attracts the monster's attention, the monster will rush over. After closing the door, the monster can no longer lock the residents. Through such an operation, it can always
Do you want to hold on until the sun rises tomorrow morning?"
"If that's the case, we can all cooperate with you and walk out of the room to attract its attention!"
Tongzi sent another voice message:
"Theoretically, this is true, but I am the only one who can walk out of the room without being killed by Kumada Nobuhiko. The reasons are a bit complicated and I don't have time to explain. I thank you all for your kindness, but please do
Maybe it’s better to stay in the room and don’t take risks easily, otherwise, I won’t be able to save the person who is targeted by Nobuhiko Kumada.”
Although he was alone in the room where the monster had eaten people, and there was a pair of bloody feet in the room, Tongzi's voice was still gentle and calm, which was a great comfort to everyone in the household.
"Okay! We must obey the command!"
All the residents agreed.
"Excuse me, how did you do it? When that house was just targeted by the monster, you just interrupted it? How did you spot the timing?"
Hitomi's voice reply: "From the moment I walked into the black mist, I could also watch the live broadcast. As for interrupting him... I would need to be locked by Kumada Nobuhiko's killing rules, and my priority would be higher than that of that family.
Even higher.
People who come out of the house and enter the corridor will be targeted by Nobuhiko Kumada first. You should be aware of this rule."
"But we don't have the courage like you, Miss Hitomi, to go out of the house and attract monsters.
Just now, when Tamai Yumiko proposed this method, many of us complained that she was too whimsical, but in fact, we were very afraid and did not dare to go out——
By the way, please allow me to call you Miss Tongzi. We feel that your voice and the feeling you give everyone are too kind, and calling you sir is too harsh."
Tongzi's voice: "Okay... By the way, does anyone know which floor and which room the house that was locked just now is on?"
"Seventh floor, unit five, East Door! Thank you!"
One resident quickly sent a message:
"Thank you very much for your life-saving grace! I am the resident who was targeted just now. Our whole family is praying for you! I also want to ask, will that monster come to us on the seventh floor again?"
"No, Kumada Nobuhiko will temporarily give up the attack on this floor of the building after he has just targeted a house and was interrupted again. He will continue to walk upstairs.
In other words - Kumada Nobuhiko has two rule routes. Killing people layer by layer is the main line. Killing those who try to escape or break the death rules, such as trying to blind his own eyes, is the branch line, but has a higher priority.
After the main line is interrupted by a branch line, it will skip the current main line task and move on to the next main line task."
Hitomi explained very carefully and patiently, and seemed to want to let everyone know more about the monsters in this way.
Karasawa Makoto felt that Hitomi's explanation was very necessary. At least after understanding these rules, Karasawa Makoto's mysterious and unpredictable fear of monsters was reduced a lot.
But Karasawa Makoto could vaguely hear from Hitomi's tone that she seemed reluctant to call Kumada Nobuhiko... a monster.
At this time, the live broadcast footage appeared again——
The monster opened the door, and an old man living alone was sitting on the sofa, closing his eyes, clasping his hands, and praying with fear on his face.
It seemed that because of the monster's approach, the old man was controlled by its spirit. He gradually raised his head and looked at the camera.
At the critical moment, the camera shook again.
The screen went black, and when the camera reappeared, Tangze saw Hitomi duck into another room with the door opened and close the door at the same time.
This room seems to be a room where monsters once ate people, but from the surroundings, it seems that it is no longer on the first floor.
There are also many families living in the corridor on this floor. In Nara apartments, there is only one floor and the second floor has this structure.
Apparently, Tongzi entered the second floor while chatting just now.
The monster walked past the door of the room where Hitomi walked in, but still had no intention of going in and eating him.
The lens disappeared.
"Long live long live!"
"As expected! Is it really possible to deal with the monster by interfering with the monster's killing patterns? In this way, it seems that we residents, under the leadership of Miss Tongzi, can persist until the sun rises in the morning!"
Karasawa Makoto was a little surprised as to why Hitomi specifically ran to the second floor instead of walking out of the original room on the first floor and then walking back.
It's such a long distance to go from the first floor to the second floor. What if the monster chases us?
Moreover, doesn't it mean that people trapped in the fog will be targeted by monsters as soon as they step out of the house?
How did Hitomi manage to avoid the monsters from the first floor to the second floor until she reached the door...
Someone in the household group also thought of this and raised it as a question.
Tongzi spoke:
"It's hard to explain why Kumada Nobuhiko didn't target me. As for why I went to the second floor——
This is to adapt to Nobuhiko Kumada's killing pattern. If I stay on the first floor and lure Nobuhiko Kumada down, Nobuhiko Kumada will definitely find another room on the first floor and start eating people. This has happened before.
Only when I reach the second floor will the monster return to higher floors to find new targets."
In this way, we can realize the cycle of teasing Kumada Nobuhiko. Karasawa Makoto thought.
To be honest, in such an urgent and dangerous situation, Hitomi was willing to patiently explain the purpose of her actions and the laws of monsters to the residents, which moved Makoto Karasawa very much.
"Da Lin Tongzi... must be a very warm person."
If I can survive the fog of monsters this time, I must get to know Miss Hitomi and be friends with her. Karasawa Makoto thought so.
…
After sending the last voice message, Hitomi looked at her watch and calculated the time. Nobuhiko Kumada should be running to the 8th floor soon. Then, she should act quickly.
She lowered her head and looked at the crystal clear white teeth hanging on her neck, which were tied with a red string. She gently pinched it with her thumb and index finger and murmured to herself: "Youxi, you will cheer for me.
,Right."
Putting down her teeth, Hitomi clicked the play button, and Kenshi Yonezu's "Lemon" sounded in the headphones——
"梦(ゆめ)ならばどれほどよかったでしょう"
How wonderful it would be if all this was a dream,
无(いま)だにあなたのことを梦(ゆめ)にみる
I can still find you in my dreams..."
This is Hitoko Obayashi's favorite song. She liked it so much that for a whole month, "Lemon" was played repeatedly in her headphones.
Every time when dealing with a weird incident, "Lemon" is played in Hitomi Obayashi's headphones.
There are rumors that "Lemon" was once selected as the theme song of "Lidu Love Story", but unfortunately for unknown reasons, the two parties did not reach an agreement.
Hearing this news, Hitoko Obayashi was very sorry for a time, because the starring role in "Lito Love Story" is her favorite actor Makoto Karasawa, and "Lemon" is her favorite song. It's better to combine two good things into one. There is nothing better than this.
Something more perfect.
It's a pity...it's a pity...until this moment, she is still regretting this.
Along with "Lemon", Obayashi Hitomi held her breath, opened the door, and rushed towards the staircase passage.
In the darkness, white teeth emitted a faint white light, covering her whole body, with only two feet exposed.
She felt something following her behind her and turned to look back, but she couldn't see anything.
She felt a little strange. This had not happened in the past few investigations. But she didn't have time to think about it anymore, and she continued to run forward.
Soon, she rushed to the third floor, unit three.
According to the information previously provided by the household group, during the first round of massacre by Nobuhiko Kumada, the victim on the third floor lived in the east door of the third unit.
Walking into the corridor of the third unit, a bloody smell hit my face.
The door to Xihu is indeed open.
Dalin Tongzi walked to the door. After a while, a new round of live broadcast began——
The camera opened a security door, hurriedly walked in, and soon came to the bedroom. Standing in front of the closet, a blue-gray hand grabbed the handle of the closet door and opened the door. A little girl was trembling and huddled in the closet.
Inside, just when I couldn't help but look at the camera...
It's now, not any later.
Tongzi picked up the tooth hanging on her neck, took a deep breath, and put the tooth in her mouth.
The white light emitted by the teeth disappeared instantly.
The live broadcast camera shook and the screen went black.
Dalin Tongzi stood at the door, took off her headphones, and listened to the footsteps in the corridor. She could feel Kumada Nobuhiko approaching her...
She held the red string with the teeth in her hand, ready to take the teeth out of her mouth at any time.
Time passed by second by second, but Kumada Nobuhiko's footsteps never sounded.
This situation has never happened before...it's very abnormal.
Her nerves were tense.
Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded.
But it was not coming from the corridor, but from the room in the east door of Unit 3!
Dalin Tongzi's scalp felt tight...
