Chapter 12 The Reason and the Serpent
Compared with ghosts, ghosts or monsters, the most sinister thing is indeed the human heart.
Who knows what evil Fu Jixianli committed? Didn’t he help explore the forest and eliminate the weirdness based on his helpful principles? But who would have thought that the black gun from behind was actually fired...
Even seven consecutive shots.
In the smoke caused by gunpowder, like the corpse just now, Fu Jixianli's body also fell to the ground with a thud. At the same time, the "black loach" that was just controlled by him also lost control and fell to the ground.
"Ryoko..."
After shooting and killing people, Takenai had a little trembling voice. He took off the mountaineering bag behind his back with his shoulders, threw the shotgun with the barrel with a temperature next to it. Then he ran forward a few steps, then threw the whole person to the ground, his hands trembled and carefully picked up the "loach".
After confirming that the "loach" was still alive, he completely ignored the black stains on the ground and climbed to the corpse. During the process, he kept calling out the name "Ryoko".
What was not previously stated was that the corpse was a female corpse.
Takeuchi held the "loach" and tried to help the female corpse up at the same time. The action seemed to think that she had just fallen asleep instead of dying... There was no doubt that this was a bad enough sleeping scene.
Of course the corpse would not respond to Takeuchi's call, but another person responded to him.
"A corpse should be left well alone - the corpse should rest well, this is a famous saying of a beautiful sister, Mr. Takeuchi, have you never heard of it?"
Fu Jixianli slowly stood up while slapping the dust and filth on his body.
"Why are you still alive?"
Takenai's eyes at Fu Jixianri finally became frightened, which was beyond his understanding.
His first reaction was to continue attacking, but the gun had been thrown aside.
"How to say it, if I were a person, of course I was dead..." After saying that, Fu Jixianli realized that there seemed to be some problem, "I mean, if I were an 'ordinary person'."
His attitude looked no different from just now, and he was still polite, but his eyes were already filled with a cold calm.
"When people are extremely angry, they can transform into a forty-centimeter-thick steel plate. Isn't it easy to block a bullet?"
As if he wanted to make a more vivid explanation for his own words, a big tree behind Fu Jixianli, which was embraced by at least four people, suddenly broke at a height of one meter. Then, the heavy trunk fell heavily to the ground after squeezing several big trees behind.
The broken corner of the big tree is not flat, it seems to be broken by some irresistible force...it is a bit like broken sugar cane.
Although Fu Jixianli was so calm, in fact, when the other party suddenly shot, he had no way to determine whether his ability could offset the kinetic energy of the shotgun. As a result, he was not beaten to death, but almost scared to death.
"I don't hate it if I do it cleanly and say nothing, and I don't want to say anything, and I'm honestly not annoyed, and I'm even full of appreciation...even if it's actually a crime."
It is more attractive than a villain who always speaks harshly and then is turned over, of course, a villain who takes action directly.
Mr. Takeuchi looked haggard, sloppy and extremely gloomy, but who would have thought that he would be so decisive when shooting.
"But unfortunately, you should confirm my death first... In fact, you didn't even notice that I didn't bleed after being shot."
On the one hand, it is because Takeuchi is concerned, and on the other hand, it is because his profession is a forest ranger rather than a professional killer. Even if he is a professional killer, he will probably subconsciously determine the fact that the person who scored seven shotguns in a row will die.
"It seems you have been wary of me... Why?"
"It's very simple. When I came to your house that day, you explained two things to me - the appearance of monsters and the disappearance of your daughter. Although you made a far-fetched relationship with these two things, objectively speaking, there is indeed a serious lack of correlation between them.
But what you potentially express is that solving the weirdness is equivalent to retrieving your daughter, which is too strange... What reason did you make such a judgment?
The reason you give is "intuition", but it is as sure as if you have learned some kind of "fact".
Of course, there are more direct reasons.
One is that when I was reading local news the day before yesterday, I learned about an unfortunate news more than a month ago... A female high school student fell to death from a high altitude, and the high school student's name was Takeuchi Ryoko.
The second is...shoes.
Although the shoes on the monster's feet were already very dirty, they could still vaguely recognize their appearance - these shoes were the same as the ones your daughter wore in the photo, the ones you placed in the living room.
So, as I saw that monster, I almost understood the cause and effect of this matter.
You come to someone like me to peel off the 'black mud' from your daughter's body. This is something you can't do by yourself."
This man actually discovered some clues before he set out, but he showed nothing along the way... In a sense, Fu Jixianli was also quite "sincere".
"I am worthy of being the young master of Fu Jixian's family. I actually noticed the problem from the beginning..."
“…
You know who I am?"
"Although it's not that famous now, for Yamanashi's older people, probably no one doesn't know Fu Jixian... I know you are not from Tokyo."
This involves Fu Jixianli's blind spots in knowledge. So far, he has never realized that he was from a "famous family", so he had actually revealed his identity when he reported his family.
"I think... everything is easy to discuss. Since I have helped you, you shouldn't kill me without saying a word."
"Because what I want to do, people like you won't allow it anyway."
Takeuchi lowered his head.
He still has a basic view of right and wrong, and at least he can understand that it is not appropriate to kill the other person if he is still.
"Well, I understand..."
"?" Takeuchi raised his head again.
"Why did your daughter who fell from the building appear deep in Mount Fuji? Why did she look like she was plagued by evil spirits and turned into a monster?
Why do we pass by a ritual totem or sacrificial ground like a ghost-drawing talisman?
All of this has a very absurd answer...
You seem to want your daughter to be resurrected from the dead?”
Fu Jixianli himself felt that his conclusion was a bit outrageous, but this seemed to be the fact.
The story of what Takeuchi told before was reversed. It was not that his daughter disappeared after seeing the monster in the forest, but that after his daughter died, he brought her body into the forest and then performed some kind of ritual to turn it into a monster.
All the "brain sounds" are just lies. Takeuchi's haggardness is because of his daughter's death and his daughter who turned her after death into a monster.
Judging from speculation, there might be something wrong with the ritual, so Takeuchi actually did not get the desired result.
And now, he seems to want to try again.
For this reason, he even shot and knocked out a kind-hearted person's head.
