Chapter 204 Death Game Please call me Lei Feng.
"Huh?" Asayama Rika was stunned for a moment. "Was he, poisoned to death?"
In fact, she had wanted to ask for a long time, but Kong Guyang kept asking them questions, and then quickly took action and brought them to Qiu Shanjiang, so she had no chance to ask.
She had originally thought that Kong Guyang might be a werewolf, and the poor lady had accidentally discovered his identity, so, of course, she died - killing a loved one in order to survive was a reasonable motive, although she would never do that to Ah Xin.
She always felt... this man, who seemed to love that lady very much a few days ago, but after she died, he didn't seem to care that much.
Mrs. Mizutani is so pitiful.
"Yes. She was killed by a witch." Amuro Toru said, seemingly unwilling to talk more, and turned the topic back to Qiu Shanjiang:
"The murderer was hit by the stool swung by Mr. Qiu Shan, but he was not incapacitated. Mr. Qiu Shan is still in danger."
"So, he ran to the bookshelf, took out the book, and threw it at the murderer." Amuro Toru walked over to the bookshelf and pointed to the empty shelf. "That may have had some effect, but not much—because Mr. Qiushan was stabbed again. This time, he cut his cheek and almost severed his left ear, and blood splattered on the two shelves above."
The two of them followed Amuro Toru's fingers upwards and saw the blood on the hardcover book.
The blood had already solidified and stuck to the spine of the book like a curious ornament.
"The knife cut the elastic cord of Mr. Qiu Shan's mask, and his mask hung precariously on his right ear."
"Seeing he couldn't stop the killer, Mr. Qiu Shan ran to his right. The third blow struck his right shoulder blade, diagonally above and below. The wound was deep, and blood dripped down his tattered shirt, leaving blood and footprints on the carpet."
"I think that at this time, after the initial bleeding and outburst, Mr. Qiu Shan was gradually beginning to feel his strength was running out. Please note that the murderer did not close the door when he came in. Mr. Qiu Shan knew this, so he was running towards the door at this time."
"However, he was unlucky. While escaping, he accidentally tripped over the leg of a clothes hanger near the door. He fell to the ground, which is why he got a bruised knee."
"The murderer seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the lower back with a dagger. The mask also fell off completely."
Toru Amuro picked up the white mask on the ground.
"And what did he do?" He lifted up the mask and stared through the eye holes at the crawling marks and large bloodstains at the entrance, as well as the two obvious footprints on it.
"The murderer drew his dagger, stepped over the struggling Mr. Qiu Shan, and closed the door."
"He's not anxious at all now, because he knows Mr. Qiu Shan no longer has the strength to struggle and is at the mercy of others. The wound on his waist is Mr. Qiu Shan's most fatal wound. After the dagger is pulled out, he will soon die from excessive blood loss."
"Then he limped towards Mr. Qiu Shan, dragged him to his current position, made him face up, and gave him a final stab wound to the heart."
"Limping?" Asayama Rika looked at him.
Footsteps were heard outside the door.
One sound is light and one sound is shallow.
"Yeah, limping..." Toru Amuro lifted up his mask, overlapping with the figure of Hideji Tsukawa who was slowly walking outside the door.
Through the pale mask, he looked at Hideji Tsukawa.
Asayama Rika, who was standing next to her, listened to the approaching footsteps and slowly widened her eyes.
"Ah, could it be that Mr. Qiu Shan was, was... killed by you?"
She said this to Hideji Tsukawa.
"Obviously," said Toru Amuro.
Kusakawa Ryosuke looked at Tsukawa Hideji with a look of "Wow, I didn't realize that" and said, "Why, you have a grudge to take too?"
"Oh my god," Lin Xi said through the headset. "They must have a lot in common."
The veins on Toru Amuro's forehead bulged:
It's obvious that Hideharu Tsugawa's killing of Takuya Ooyama must have been related to Punch.
"I want to make it clear that killing Qiu Shanjiang was entirely his own idea and had nothing to do with me." Lin Xi guessed what Amuro Toru was thinking and retorted, "I only ask others to tell the truth. I don't have the ability to hypnotize people."
Amuro Toru: Why aren't you breathing heavily when you talk? Have we reached our destination?
Lin Xi: "Soon. But there's some bad news."
Toru Amuro:?
Lin Xi: "I saw the dead Yuejiang Hemei and Yuejiang Feng. Yuejiang Feng's body was in my arms just now. Now the Yuejiang family is truly leaderless."
Amuro Toru: Terrible news. Also, why are you holding Tsukie Kaede's body?
Lin Xi: "Oh, because he died in the aisle and blocked my way. I had to move him out of the way."
Amuro Toru sighed and said, "There's always a lot of bad news."
Asayama Rika agreed: "Yes. Who would have thought that the murderer was this gentleman?"
Tsukawa Hideji raised his head, looking at Amuro Toru with bloodshot eyes. He did not respond to anyone else's words: "Ooyama Takumi, I killed him. Mizutani Sayuri, I didn't kill him."
"I know it wasn't you who killed him." Toru Amuro gently placed the white mask on Takumi Ooyama's face.
"Yes, a witch." Tsukawa Hideji continued, as if he was afraid that people would think he had killed Mizutani Sayuri. "Mizutani Sayuri is a witch."
Asayama Rika's eyes widened again: "What? Wasn't Mrs. Mizutani killed by a witch? And, besides, isn't she a prophet? How could she be a witch?"
Kusakawa Ryosuke seemed to be lost in thought.
"Prophet, it's me." Tsukawa Hideji paused and then said, "I, Tsukawa Hideji."
"You're the prophet?" Asayama Rika covered her head. "So Mrs. Mizutani has been lying to us all along? Why did she pretend to be a prophet? Isn't she worried that the real prophet will come out and expose her, eliminating her?"
Kusakawa Ryosuke snorted: "I don't think she wants to live at all."
Asayama Rika gave him a puzzled look.
"You're the only one who's been kept in the dark here, silly child." Kusakawa Ryosuke looked at Asayama Rika with pity, "Use your brain and think carefully. Only love in this world can make someone voluntarily sacrifice their life."
"Our poor Mrs. Mizutani must have known Kongguyang's identity on the first day."
"You're a werewolf, right?" Kusakawa Ryosuke crossed his arms. "To protect you, she first pretended to be a prophet, and then last night she voluntarily committed suicide by taking poison... As the one who survived, how do you feel now?"
"He has a really wild imagination..." Lin Xi complained in the headset, "Bourbon, delay a little longer, I'm almost at the control room."
"But, but," Asayama Rika's confused mind grasped some ideas. "On the first day, Mrs. Mizutani claimed that she was a prophet... At that time, we didn't even have the opportunity to act alone. How did she know that Mr. Amuro was a werewolf?"
Kusakawa Ryosuke scoffed. "Come on, they're sitting next to each other, so close to each other. Wouldn't it be easy for them to pass messages? I've seen them holding hands under the table several times, scribbling messages with their fingers."
Toru Amuro:......
He was completely calm when Kusakawa Ryosuke pointed out that he was a werewolf, but now he feels a little flushed.
Could it be that someone else saw it?!
Lin Xi suddenly realized: "I was wondering why he looked at me so strangely."
"You too." Kusakawa Ryosuke turned around and started attacking Asayama Rika. "You don't think you're hiding well, do you?"
“…Ah?” Asayama Rika was stunned. “I, I…”
"You're a werewolf, right?" Kusakawa Ryosuke shook his head. "You've been looking at your mother with eyes full of hatred. Oh, I'm all too familiar with that look. You didn't have the chance to kill her the day before yesterday because the witch had an antidote. But last night, she still died."
"Come on, what did I say? This game is full of love, hate, and revenge... Now it seems that it is true."
"The werewolf didn't kill the prophet who jumped out, but stabbed Asayama Hui instead. When I saw that she didn't show up this morning, I knew you were a werewolf."
"I really don't understand. Is a Kamijutsuji Shin... necessary?"
"What do you know?!" Asayama Rika had been listening with her head down, but now she suddenly raised her head, her eyes red: "Axin is different——"
"——That's why I said you're the most pitiful one here." Kusakawa Ryosuke interrupted her, "Do you really know what you're doing?"
"I'm almost there, I can see the room--" said Lin Xi in the headset.
"Okay, okay." Amuro Toru began to smooth things over. "Let's sit down and talk it over, okay?"
Tsukawa Hideji understood this and replied inappropriately: "Blood, sofa, be careful."
Amuro Toru quickly glanced at the blood-stained sofa and gave Tsukawa Hideji a helpless smile: "Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful not to dirty my clothes."
Although I was at a murder scene, I felt like I had accidentally entered a kindergarten.
No, maybe a combination of kindergarten and mental hospital.
"Who wants to have a proper talk with you?" Kusakawa Ryosuke sneered, "Two werewolves and two humans, is there any need to talk?"
"That was just our in-game identity." Amuro Toru smiled, "And now, the game is over."
"Really? I don't think so." Kusakawa Ryosuke took out his gun, loaded it, and pointed it at Amuro Toru. "The hunter's gun is still in my hand."
However, what greeted him was the same black muzzle of a gun and Amuro Toru's emotionless gray-blue eyes: "Are you talking about the pistol with only one bullet?"
"When did you..."
Kusakawa Ryosuke was shocked.
"Of course I have a gun. You can bring in daggers, so why can't I bring in a gun?" Toru Amuro asked calmly.
"Is that the gun I kept for you?" Lin Xi complained, "I always felt that the recoil of that model was too strong... Bourbon, you look like a villain now."
Amuro Toru's veins popped out: "Shut up..."
The guy's words on the communicator sounded like a voice-over in his ears, constantly interrupting his thoughts.
"Huh? Shut up? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Kusakawa Ryosuke held a gun, "I've already taken revenge. My wife will get a large sum of insurance money after my death. I have nothing to worry about anymore..."
"So, you knew all this would happen before you came." Amuro Toru held his gun unmoved. "You knew many people would die here, and you knew you might die, so you bought a huge insurance policy for your wife before you came. By the way, that shut up I just said wasn't for you."
Rika Asayama, who was standing next to her, covered her mouth and took a few steps back.
"It's not you either." Amuro Toru turned to Asayama Rika and then quickly turned back.
Ryosuke Kusakawa: "I..."
"Someone gave you information about Tomihara Taro and told you he would attend the auction. You were thirsty for revenge and would seize every opportunity. So you agreed to cooperate with him."
"He promised to give you weapons. Of course, he did. He gave you a hunter identity and put the guns in your—I guess, your closet—right?"
"So, what's the price?" Amuro Toru stared at Kusakawa Ryosuke. "What does he ask you to do?"
Ryosuke Kusakawa stared at the muzzle of the gun and suddenly laughed: "Guess?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Kong Guyang, you really impressed me. You also have a purpose for coming here, right? Poor Mizutani Sayuri, was she completely used by you? Oh no... maybe she knows."
"After all, love means being willing to be used."
"But unfortunately, Mr. Soratani." Kusakawa Ryosuke raised his gun higher and pointed it at Amuro Toru's head. "Your death is one of the conditions for our cooperation."
"What did Sora Yayoi do?" Amuro Toru asked flatly, "Why is he also part of the revenge plan?"
"How should I know? He won't tell me everything." Kusakawa Ryosuke shrugged, "But I can probably guess."
"Because you have something he can't have, Kong Guyang... he will never get it. That will make him jealous and crazy."
Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows.
"...Are you talking about love?"
"yes."
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Asayama Rika felt that Kusakawa Ryosuke's gaze lingered on her for a moment.
"Do you think your bullet can be faster than mine?" said Toru Amuro.
Kusakawa Ryosuke: "Who knows. I can bet."
Amuro Toru: "The mission he gave you should not be limited to killing me. If my guess is correct, among the ten people assigned to Group A, except for himself and you, the other eight people are his targets of revenge."
Just as Toru Amuro and Lin Xi had discussed, the groups for the Death Game weren't random. Group A was the most special of the groups. Kamijutsuji Shin had gathered everyone he wanted to kill there, and then made a deal with Kusakawa Ryosuke, getting him to vote him out. He then kept Kusakawa there as a pawn and eye to control the situation.
The rest of the people, Sayuri Mizutani, the Asayama family, Taro Tomihara, Takumi Ooyama and even Hideji Tsukawa... in Kamijutsuji's plan, they all had to die.
"If you kill me, what will happen to the remaining two people? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to complete his mission?" said Toru Amuro.
Kusakawa Ryosuke smiled again: "At least I tried my best."
"Goodbye, Mr. Konggu."
His finger was about to press the trigger.
Just as Amuro Toru's gun-holding hand moved down, ready to pierce his wrist holding the gun, a loud sound came from the corridor.
To be exact, it came from the speakers on the corridor ceiling.
"Children, don't get excited. Don't we have to be so tense?" The voice was clear and charming, with the ending tone rising like a small hook.
Hearing this voice, Hideji Tsukawa, who was standing at the door, trembled all over, as if he recalled something very scary.
The sound came synchronously from Amuro Toru's ears. He rubbed his ears with his free hand.
"Mizutani Sayuri?" Ryosuke Kusakawa said in surprise and doubt.
They all recognized the owner of the voice.
"Oh my God." Asayama Rika was shocked for the Nth time today. "So, Mrs. Mizutani is not dead? Then, why did Mr. Sora-Sora say she was dead... Could it be..."
"Of course it was acting, silly girl." Lin Xi sighed, "What a pity the actors I found got beaten twice for nothing. Luckily I found the control room in time, otherwise someone would have been in trouble."
Amuro Toru knew that Lin Xi was talking about Kusakawa Ryosuke, but Kusakawa Ryosuke didn't think so - he thought Lin Xi was talking about Amuro Toru: "Control room? Mizutani Sayuri, where are you? Are you going to break the rules of the game - ah!"
Taking advantage of his distraction, Amuro Toru made a move with an expressionless face and snatched his gun away.
"That's all. It's been violated." In the control room, Lin Xi held a flashlight in his mouth and quickly operated the console and computer in front of him. "Sorry, the so-called rules are meant to be broken..."
"The game is over." Her ten fingers moved quickly, bringing up a map of the entire underground complex on the screen. Countless tiny dots flashed on it, and she pressed the final enter key. "Don't even think about the 'death game' anymore. I've unlocked all the bracelets, and the bombs have all been deactivated. If you still have any grudges, why don't you go to the police station to mediate after you leave here?"
"Well, I know Miss Asayama wants to kill Mr. Kusakawa because he cast the fatal vote for your boyfriend. But don't even think about it. You can't beat him even if you think about it. Mr. Kusakawa wants to kill Sora Tani? Forget it. You've already avenged your revenge. Why would you risk your life? Mr. Tsukawa, you should also take it easy. Takumi Qiushan is already dead. Just stand there and don't make trouble, okay?"
No one moved for a moment.
After a long while, Asayama Rika's confused voice was heard in the room: "Can the bracelet be removed?"
Her hand touched the bracelet, and with a click, it came off easily.
that's all?
Is the problem solved?
She survived, so she doesn't need to kill anymore?
No, she still wanted revenge: "But, but..."
"Killing also requires skill." The voice coming through the speaker was a little distorted. "Ms. Asayama, you are not cut out to be a killer."
"You are just an ordinary person. Ordinary people need to be protected. They are suited to ordinary life, away from blood and smoke, and exchange emotional value from intimacy."
"I suggest you take a trip to relax after you get out—well, after your parents' funeral."
Asayama Rika lowered her head.
Mizutani Sayuri's tone was flat, as if she was stating a fact, but Asayama Rika inexplicably felt that she was comforting herself.
"So, what about those who died?" she asked softly. "I can't... wash my hands clean anymore."
"Then let's go and save people." Lin Xi said.
Asayama Rika: “Huh?”
"Go save people." Lin Xi repeated, "Have you forgotten that you have a lot of money? The people you can save are definitely more than the people you can kill."
"Every profession has its own specialization. Ordinary people should just live their lives properly and avoid getting bogged down in matters of revenge and love. This is the world of science, and getting involved in such things is bound to lead to bad consequences."
Only Lin Xi could hear the words "Ke Xue". Everyone else heard only noise.
Asayama Rika: "...I understand. Thank you, Mrs. Mizutani."
Lin Xi: "You're welcome. Please call me Lei Feng."
Asayama Rika repeated the strange name in confusion: "Thank you, uh, Lei, Lei Feng."
Lin Xi: ...
I'm just joking, you don't have to really call me Lei Feng!
Toru Amuro was listening to Lin Xi's talk therapy and felt a little complicated.
It feels like a killer trying to persuade someone to become a good person.
He got goosebumps all over when he thought that the person who said these words was a core member of the organization that killed people like killing fish.
But Punch sounded genuine.
He shook off the goosebumps calmly: "Have you found the person behind this?"
"No." Lin Xi touched the coffee cup on the console. "He's not here, but he just left a while ago. The cup is still warm."
"What a shame his revenge plan has to end here."
"--Yeah?"
A cold voice came from behind.
A sharp murderous intent came from behind.
Lin Xi took the flashlight and slowly turned around.
"Speak of the devil," she said, her murderous intent matching Kamijou's, and she laughed with considerable amusement. "I wasted all this time. Are you ready for your own death?"
For two whole days, I was trapped in this hellish place, unable to contact the outside world...
Her children must be worried about her.
The culprit who caused her to come home late... let her die!
Kamijutsuji Shin narrowed his eyes and felt that Mizutani Sayuri was different from when he saw her before.
Although her face was still the same, it had changed - there was a dangerous aura looming in her, as if there was a wild beast living in that tall and slender body, ready to pounce on its prey at any time.
Could it be that love changed her? Ridiculous...
He held the gun in his hand and sneered, "Death? That's your part."
"Do you think that everything will be fine if you take off the bracelet?"
"I will make you kneel down and beg me, Mizutani Sayuri." His sinister eyes swept across Lin Xi's face, "I swear."
His voice was transmitted word for word through the radio to the ears of Ryosuke Kusakawa and others.
Hearing this voice, Asayama Rika raised her head and said in confusion, "Axin?"
