clatter.

There was a crisp sound as caramel popcorn hit the TV screen. Yamada Gongkei held his chin in dissatisfaction and looked at the people on the screen who had successfully left the ventilation duct.

Extremely boring.

This is not the scene he wants to see.

The scene that Yamada Kimike expected was nothing more than selfishly unwillingness to hand over the gas mask in order to avoid inhaling the highly toxic gas, exposing the selfishness of human nature to everyone. This was the key to his planning of the second level.

What's going on with this beautiful picture now? It's completely different from what I imagined.

His eyes fell on Fujiwara Yu, who was leaning against the wall and gasping for breath. The smile on his face completely disappeared, and anger was revealed in his narrow eyes. He thought that Fujiwara Yu's strong lung capacity ruined the fun of the game.

"...How boring! It's completely different from what you said."

Miyano Akemi, still awake and sitting on the ground, couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt as she listened to Yamada Kimi's mumbling. His words seemed to suggest that he wasn't the one orchestrating this "game."

Is there someone else behind this, and is Yamada Kimike just a puppet?

Miyano Akemi frowned slightly. After digesting the information, she decided to wait until she was rescued before telling Fujiwara Yu. She believed the police would definitely rescue her, and she also believed in Fujiwara's ability.

Yamada Gongkei crossed his legs, picked up the mobile phone placed beside him, and dialed the landline phone placed in a room.

The sound of a landline phone came from near the elevator. Fujiwara Yu and Matsuda Jinpei followed the sound to the public lounge which was still under renovation. It seemed that the space on the fifteenth floor of the hotel was provided to the hotel staff.

After the call was connected, I pressed the hands-free button skillfully, and the annoying voice came out from the other end of the phone again:

"I didn't expect you to pass the second level so easily, Officer Fujiwara. Your lung capacity really surprises me. If I were the winner of this game... I really want to dissect you."

"Stop talking nonsense. What do you want us to do next?"

Fujiwara Yuu didn't have the time to discuss the question of "how to dissect" with him. There was no need for a normal person to communicate with a madman. He just wanted to rescue the hostages quickly, then go home and take a shower and sleep after completing the work.

The high intensity of his nerves was too tiring, he needed to rest.

"It's a shame I didn't get to see the scene I wanted to see. It won't hurt you to let me say a few more words." Yamada Gongkei's voice became a little complaining, but then a smile appeared in his tone: "Since you can't wait to see me, then come... The final boss level is on the rooftop. Take the elevator directly to the top floor. The password is the date of our meeting."

The time we met was the first day of entering the police academy, which also happened to be my birthday.

Fujiwara Yu dropped the phone in his hand and ran to the elevator with Matsuda Jinpei. They took the elevator all the way to the top floor. After entering their birthdays in the combination lock, the heavy iron door opened.

The evening breeze on the rooftop was still a bit noisy. As he moved from indoors to outdoors, his eyes, which were blown by the wind, couldn't help but feel a little sad. Matsuda Jinpei subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away the tears blown by the wind. When he raised his eyes again, he saw the kidnapped Komatsu Shoya imprisoned in a huge transparent glass box.

…

Komatsu Shoya has given up the opportunity to be promoted to the Metropolitan Police Department in recent years. He still remains in the Fuchu Police Station. The reason for this is only known to the parties involved, Fujiwara Yu and Matsuda Jinpei.

He had made a mistake in the case that year, so he wanted to stay in Fuchu City. Even if a child described a possible case in childish language, he would listen patiently and take action to investigate.

Komatsu Sho also did this to make up for his mistake, to make up for the big mistake he almost made when he didn't believe it.

As soon as Fujiwara Yu entered the room, he noticed Miyano Akemi standing on the edge of the rooftop with chains on her body. After seeing this scene, he clenched his fists tightly and cast an angry look at Yamada Kimi who was sitting between two "game chips".

Holding a section of the chain, Yamada Gongkei waved at them with a smile, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

He was very satisfied with the expressions of the two policemen. It was the right way to show such emotions that would make the game interesting.

Yamada Gongkei stood up from the bench and dragged the chain to force Miyano Akemi to the side. He stopped when he reached the transparent glass box and knocked on the thick glass wall.

"Good evening, Officer Fujiwara, Officer Matsuda. You didn't expect me to be waiting here openly for you, did you? Doesn't that make me seem sincere?"

"Just tell me what the rules of the game are."

Matsuda Jinpei didn't have time to chat with him. He noticed that the pipe inserted in the bottom of the transparent glass box was connected to the water tank, and he had already guessed Yamada Kimiki's plan.

"Okay, you police officers are really impatient." Yamada Gongkei smiled, resting his hands on the transparent glass box, and said with interest, "You two officers must have done a lot of multiple-choice questions in school, right? The last game is a multiple-choice question, and it's a choice between two options... Do you choose to save him or her?"

It really is a multiple-choice question that is full of bad taste.

Fifty percent of the choices are not about what is right, but about the living.

Fujiwara Yuu turned his head to look at Matsuda Jinpei. After the two exchanged glances, the former spoke:

"You want to use us to kill people? Don't you think this game is boring?"

"Boring? Hahahaha, Officer Fujiwara, you're not thinking of saying, 'Let us take the hostage's place,' are you? That would be boring. I know the nature of you police officers, fools who are willing to sacrifice for the people... Haha, I won't let you succeed."
