[Net King + Patterns] Ugly Fish

When there was noise from outside, Nanze was staring at the chessboard in front of him, thinking about how to counter the opponent's attack and win at the least cost; the sound of kicking was followed by the impact of the falling door, which still sounded heroic from a distance.

The finger holding the black chess piece stopped in the air, Nanze raised his eyes to look at the old friend opposite with the same expression, thought for a while, withdrew his hand and threw the chess piece to the side, sighed heavily, and said, "I lost... After a pause for a few seconds, he asked again, "Aren't you going to take a look?"

After dinner, the old friend who invited him to play chess to pass the time twitched his eyebrows, but said nothing, but Xin Yuan, who was watching the battle, turned his head to look at the half-open door from time to time, showing some struggling and uneasy expression.

Then there was an exclamation outside, and even greater confusion.

Xin Yuan finally couldn't sit still, got up as if he wanted to find out, walked a few steps and stopped, turned around, with a little panic between his brows, and his eyes wandered.

Seeing this, Nanze stood up, and just around the chessboard between the two, the old friend who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "You sit down—I'll go and see what the kid is up to..."

Without waiting for him to respond, the old friend pushed him back to the original position, lowered his head and blinked his eyes as if he wanted to say something, silent for a few seconds and finally patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and left without saying a word talk.

Even though he heard the old friend's cryptic sigh before leaving, and knew what the strength of the hand on his shoulder represented, Nan Ze still sat quietly, unwilling and allowing himself to give any reaction.

Xin Yuan followed and left the room. The moment she stepped out of the door, she turned her head and gave him a silent look. Under the dim light, the woman's lips trembled imperceptibly, and her face was pale.

Not long after, the sound of two footsteps, one in front and one in the back, gradually faded away, and the quiet room seemed to have fallen into dead silence. Nanze raised his head slightly, and sighed softly towards the ceiling.

He knew it was time for him to leave.

Hanging his eyes, his eyes quickly swept across the abandoned chess game, Nan Ze pursed his lips, reached out to pick up the discarded chess piece, his empty eyes finally gathered a smile, "General—"

The black chess piece at the fingertips is pressing on the key position, and his voice is particularly sad in the empty room.

The joy of reuniting old friends has not dissipated, and the moment of farewell is approaching.

Then Nanze stood up, straightened the corners of his clothes slowly, and walked towards the other secret exit that he had already selected.

……

Ten minutes later, Nanze was walking in the mountains on a snowy night, the snow under his feet creaked, and the deserted mountain road was accompanied only by the faint skylight above his head except for the white steam he exhaled, and perhaps there were bony trees film.

For ordinary people, the mountains and forests at night are extremely dangerous, but for Nanze, it is as safe as their own backyard; stop at the fork, and it only takes 2 minutes to blend into the forest. Nanze looks back at the foot of the mountain , It was dark below, and there were many people in the dimly lit courtyard between the branches of the dense forest. Obviously, there was a panic inside at this time, and all this was caused by him.

If he hadn't been lucky...

Well, well~ In fact, he doesn't really care. What he wants to do most has been completed. It doesn't matter whether other lives are harvested or not. Nanze curled his lips and showed a cold smile. Hesitantly put himself back into the night.

……

Before everything happened, Nanze had a stupid and romantic outlook on life, or, before the end of the first trial, he still hopelessly believed in the [justice] of the law.

It's a pity that the reality once again severely destroyed Nanze's beliefs, just like when he firmly believed in the loyalty of marriage but was mercilessly abandoned by his wife. This time, he relied on [justice] hypocrisy to forgive the three obvious murderers.

No one knew how broken Nan Ze's heart was when he was lurking in the corner of the trial hall. He almost exhausted all his self-control to not rush up and tear up the three beasts on the spot. I also saw the most terrifying part of the process of success.

Nobody knows, he's almost gone mad...or, not nearly, he's gone mad.

After the first trial was over, Nanze began to monitor the three accused, hiding in a secret corner, staring at him with hatred.

For Nanze, who was born in the Koya Mountains and became a professional hunter after adulthood, the bustling city is nothing more than a forest of steel bars. The men in Nanze's family are all natural hunters. They only need to overcome the psychological barrier of prey conversion, and no target can escape. snare.

The story of the murderer published in the newspaper quickly helped Nanze solve that problem. Those three murderers were no longer recognized as human beings by Nanze, they were demons!It's a beast!

He watched them shirk their guilt with innocent faces in court, and their families tried their best in private without regard for decency. No one remembered his poor daughter, and everyone forgot his tragic death.

On that day, Nanze remembered the news he heard when he secretly followed a certain family among the three people. The family was smugly discussing the inside story received in advance, and the court's judgment intention obtained through certain channels.

———[Innocence].

At that moment, Nanze's remaining weak faith was completely shattered, so he calmly left the monitoring site, returned to the temporary habitat, picked up the newspaper that published the truth, stared at the picture that matched the article on it, and then went out Look for the building in the picture.

It was a stick figure overlooking the exit of the Supreme Court from a certain height. Except for Nanze, no one noticed that that angle would be an excellent sniping point, except the author of the picture, or the article of writers.

At this moment, Nanze fully understood the message that the painting revealed to him: whether to punish the murderer who escaped the crime, he could not resist the temptation.

……

Nanze found that location, which was located on the top floor of a residential building about 780 yards from the Supreme Court. Unsurprisingly, he also picked out a note from the concrete crack at the sniper point, sealed it with scotch tape, and stuck it in type. The posted message read: [Whoever is innocent can throw stones at her. ]

So, after the final verdict, Nanze judged the first criminal by himself through the scope of the sniper rifle.

He killed Xiao Cang in public outside the court.

After that, everything will be logical.

That sentence comes from the Bible, Nanze calculated its strokes and pieced together the second hint hidden in it from the [Murderer's Self-narration] in numerical order, and then he tracked and confirmed the person protected by the special criminal investigation team without any effort The posing of the police induces the panicked second sinner to leave the protective circle.

He shot and killed Jin Chuan at the corner of an alley in a busy city late at night, and then managed to escape calmly.

Finally, the third sinner... that frightened scum could easily fall into the trap without Nanze even having to rack his brains.

Compared with the previous two, the third person dealt with Nan Ze the most calmly. He dismembered the other person, just like treating the creatures he hunted and harvested in the past. He still remembered the last head with unbelievable fear, and he died unwillingly. eyes staring straight into the air...

Nanze felt extremely happy. In the trembling brought by the heat and smell, there was undeniable relaxation. From the fear and hope day and night when he learned of Maiko's disappearance, to the despair when he finally received the news of death, Seeing the anguish of the enemy wishing to kill him quickly but having to suppress rationally, hearing the collapse of the interrogation enchantment with his own ears...

All the chaos turned into nothingness the moment his hands were stained with blood.

Nanze knew that everything was finally over.

There is a beginning and an end, the hunt starts with him, and naturally it should end with him.

……

Before the end of his life, Nanze returned to Gaoye. He was born and raised here, and his life was almost confined to this place. Therefore, death will also belong to this forest.

After Maiko disappeared, he left his job and went to look for it. Now, he is back.

Nanze notified Xin Yuan, and then asked her to tell another friend. He thought, at least inform the old friend before the end, so as not to worry about the close friend who hadn't seen for more than two years.

Then, Nanze encountered one last accident, and at the same time solved the mystery that he thought he would bring to the grave.

The girl next to my friend's grandson.

———— Nanze is no stranger to her. He met that girl when he tried to ambush Jin Chuan. Before the corner of the alley late at night, it was because of some situation of that girl that the hidden special criminal investigation team was exposed.

Nanze didn't pay attention to the unattractive little girl before the other party said that sentence.

[The deceased was not at fault, and the living bears full responsibility. ]

Nanze thought, he probably guessed who made him get revenge. Although there is no evidence, there is always such a subtle induction between the same kind, so the hatred ignited by a certain brat seems to be unrestrained. So intense.

He made a move, and deliberately left an opening. As for the life and death of that brat, it depends on the other party's luck, or whether the girl is willing to help.

Nanze noticed the vague relationship between that girl and the person brought by that brat, which was like an enemy or a friend. If she wanted to, this would be an opportunity to resolve the hostility, otherwise, it would have nothing to do with it.

He thought this was probably the last thing he could do, and the outcome was no longer his concern.

There are no people or things in this world that he needs to pay attention to, and he really has nothing to worry about.

……

The winter night after the snow was extremely cold, and the air inhaled into the chest seemed to be frozen, which made the heart feel heavy and painful.

Nanze half leaned half against the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, his ankle injured by the animal trap has lost consciousness after running around, he is not sure if he stepped on the trap on purpose, maybe accidentally, who knows~ Then, After walking the rest of the journey in a daze, even forgetting to clean up the traces, Nanze knew what the intermittent bloodstains behind him would attract, but who cares.

At the moment when the deep pain pierced his mind, he smelled the smell of iron in the air, and he overlapped with the scene of killing in a trance, and the final target fell into his hands. Splashing around, the nauseating smell brings fear and pleasure.

And, relief.

Those three people, he didn't want to admit that they were the three people of [people], they tortured and killed his dancer, and then he killed them... But it turned out that in the end, he became the same as them.

Looking up at the sky outside, Nanze sneered silently in the dark and icy night, then closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Let's...go to hell together...

The world fell silent.
