?"No."

"……Really do not have?"

"Really do not have."

Taking a closer look at the other party's expression, Matsui was a little discouraged.

In fact, even if Komaeda was lying, she probably wouldn't be able to tell.But she couldn't think of any need to lie about this kind of thing, so Komaeda probably didn't know her every time she reincarnated.

So she was thinking all wrong?In fact, there is no other meaning in the system's selection of her, but pure bad luck?

So... why her?

Is it really just a product of random probability?

So the disaster is actually a probabilistic event, and she thinks it is a 100% event only because it happened to her, but is it actually a super small probability event of one in billions after being evenly apportioned?

Matsui couldn't understand.But she never liked to think about things that required a lot of brain capacity, so she quickly put it behind her, just like those math problems that she would never be able to solve.

She couldn't kill Komaeda, she felt a little dull.It was as if she had accumulated her breath to the peak, and suddenly burst like an inflated balloon. The fake smile on her face was too lazy to maintain, and she returned to a deadpan state.She picked up the front of the pajamas, and slowly wiped away the tears that shed just now. The blood-stained pajamas were stained with beautiful textures.Only then did she feel that the dried blood on her face made her very uncomfortable.

She asked calmly, "Where can I wash my face?"

Her moody appearance has already given Komaeda a psychological shadow. Seeing her calm appearance now, Komaeda is also confused by her attitude-is this normal after the illness is over, or the calm before the storm?

Matsui has always been an impatient person, seeing that Komaeda didn't answer within three seconds, she kicked the iron rod in her hand.

"There are on the second floor." Komaeda quickly gave in.

Matsui nodded, walked straight past him, and walked into the house.Passing by his side, she stopped, stretched out her blood-stained hand, and rubbed his curly hair, showing a half-smile expression: "Good boy."

Her voice was weird and high, and Komaeda shuddered suddenly.

Seeing Matsui swaying slowly into the room, Komaeda's frightened and bewildered expression disappeared instantly, and he lowered his eyes to think about the meaning of Matsui's question just now.

Besides me, have you met anyone else named 'Matsui Ayase' before?

This question is really subtle.

Under what circumstances would such a question be asked?

Komaeda looked up thoughtfully, but was surprised to find——

Matsui staggered into the room.When she was about to go upstairs, she suddenly felt a little strange.

The corpse... disappeared?

She immediately forgot the original purpose, and went around the corner with great interest.

The walls are a bit unnatural.

She stretched out her hand and unconsciously pushed a few times, and the wall slid silently to both sides, a dark entrance appeared in front of her eyes, and then a straight corpse fell towards her from the hole.Never expecting to encounter such a thing as opening a wall to see a corpse, she was also startled for a moment and jumped to the side.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Matsui was a little speechless: "It's okay? I haven't done anything yet..."

Looking at it this way, she immediately understood why she was attacked from behind when her back was leaning against the wall.On the surface, this corner is the safest, and it is for this purpose that Komaeda asked her to stand here to protect herself.But this is precisely what is falling into the trap of the designer.This is like when hunting, treating the prey on three sides, but leaving a single direction, but it is precisely at this seemingly safe breakthrough that the ultimate move is set.

"We're being treated like rabbits..." Matsui sighed, and pulled the corpse with an iron rod, but couldn't do it, so he stretched out his foot and pushed her aside.

Just when she lifted her foot to kick, seeing the tattered corpse rolling on the ground, a sense of familiarity surged in her heart.

She seems to have... seen this person?

After rubbing her chin and thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen this guy in the last few weeks.

That was the time to snatch the purse back for Yu Mu... Yes, that's right, she was the one who snatched the purse.It was she who sent him to the police with her own hands—probably not wrong about that.

Speaking of which, last week... Komaeda was kidnapped in the afternoon.And this week, the two of them were kidnapped together in the middle of the night.Could it be because... she helped Miao Mu to turn the criminal into the bureau in advance last time, so this kidnapping was strangled in the cradle by her in advance and failed to happen.And this time, because she was not in the mood to take care of other things, and Miaomu probably couldn't send him to the police with a girl, so she was kidnapped this week?But it's not quite right, the time of Komaeda's kidnapping was just a few days after the wallet robbery incident, even if the robber was still in the process of leaving at that time, he wouldn't have been released so soon, right?

Matsui, who is half legally blind, really couldn't understand the normal judicial detention procedure, so she could only put this question in her heart and walked into that dark hole.

Unexpectedly, the hole did not lead to the outside of the house as she had imagined.There is a section of steps in this darkroom, which extends upwards.

Matsui happily started climbing the stairs with the iron rod.

She vaguely felt that her current mood was a bit weird, it seemed that she was over excited, and her sense of fear was seriously lacking.She felt less like exploring a spooky house than she was unwrapping a gift someone had given her with anticipation.

But that's pretty good... at least I won't feel bad about killing someone.

In this kind of place, one must be prepared to be killed all the time—however, if one is bound by the fear of facing death all the time, this kind of high pressure can easily make people collapse prematurely.So this state may be the best for Matsui.

After climbing up for a while, I pushed open a few more doors.The ceiling here is getting lower and lower, and Matsui has to squat forward.

This step is extraordinarily high.Matsui scrambled up, pushed open the door, and the light flashed in front of her eyes made her subconsciously push the iron bar in front of her.

After her eyes could adapt to the strong light, she saw the corpse that had become a mummified corpse at a glance——

That was what she had seen in the monitoring room.

Komaeda sighed: "I didn't expect you to show up on your own initiative."

The visitor flipped his hands carelessly: "I'm here to end this game."

She is a rather tall young girl, with short hair and masculine clothing, but her true gender can still be seen.

"Really... that's just right, I'm about to end this game too. Ayase's condition is very bad, I have to take her out of this place quickly." Komaeda smiled fearlessly, "If I'm not mistaken ...If I can deduce the truth, the game will be over, right?"

The tall slender girl standing in front of him looked at Komaeda so-called, and he sneered, "Say it."

"First of all... what should I call you? Kidnapper? Or... Kobayashi Shimizu's boyfriend? Oh, maybe, 'girlfriend' would be more appropriate?"

When this topic was mentioned, the face of the girl on the opposite side darkened, showing a bit of disgust: "I am a gender identity disorder, not a homosexual. I identify as a man, not a woman."

Komaeda shrugged: "Okay, then sir, I would like to ask you, you went to a certain organization to launch a "declaration to the detective" real-life killing game, and specified that your girlfriend Shimizu Kobayashi should participate... I am afraid of this kind of behavior. How should you evaluate it?"

"You're wrong." The young man in the body of a girl folded his shoulders and looked at him mockingly, "You really don't know anything about the 'Challenge of Black', it's really unimaginable..."

This is the first time Komaeda has heard of Black's challenge, and he doesn't mind the contemptuous eyes of the other party. Anyway, he can rely on it to swindle the news, so he thinks this trick has succeeded: "It's hard to imagine, I will be an important executive people?"

"But it's no wonder, after all, it's... hmph. Although Kobayashi is a detective, he is really a detective with extremely poor abilities. That time, I was the first to discover the challenger's identity and usage method. What kind of rubbish is the detective library?" They will all be charged."

Sure enough, the detective was appointed through the Detective Library... Komaeda silently checked his inference again in his heart, and then continued to testify: "You are very dissatisfied with Kobayashi's ability, and you also hate Kobayashi's usual attitude To the extreme, so you decided to kill Kobayashi."

"Then?" The other party folded his arms and asked coldly.That attitude was not at all like admitting criminal intent, but as calm and indifferent as admitting that they ate noodles yesterday.

In fact, Komaeda is still in a state of not knowing anything. There are several clues buried in his heart but there is no way to connect them together. Facing the other party's look of "you know what happened", he really hurts.

In order to survive, he had no choice but to continue to take the initiative and said: "After that...you and the successful initiator of the Black Challenger, because of the impact of this incident, began to constantly search for and kill the next prey?"

"Is it fun to use the information you already know to go around in circles?"

Komaeda was not in a hurry, just smiled lightly: "Aren't you also going around in circles with me? Let's all take a step back and be honest? For example, talk about... the reason for this black challenge?"

The other party sneered and said, "Are you pretending to be stupid? If you think you can sit back and relax by pretending to be stupid, why don't you figure out how much time you have left? I know exactly what you're thinking, so you still don't want to act like that." A real dream."

Komaeda was so wronged that he almost screamed, he didn't even know what he should do now, but the other party knew better than himself, he knelt down, okay!

But he keenly felt that the other party really felt that he knew everything about it.If he confesses that he doesn't know anything now, it is estimated that the other party's hand in his pocket will be raised directly, and then he will be shot to make his head explode-the shape of the bulge in the clothes is undoubtedly a gun.

So he just smiled innocently and put on an inscrutable expression: "Do you know what I want to do?"

At this moment, Komaeda deeply felt the place where his mind was empty and pretended to be a chicken, and he really pretended to be frightened when he didn't order anything!He pretended to force the so-called stable securities company to close the net, but he was bluffing and emphasizing his courage.

He doesn't want to know the truth anymore, it would be nice to keep this life.What can't be discovered in the future?When the answer to the mystery is revealed, he probably will just kneel here and sleep forever for the rest of his life.

However, the only person who can break the deadlock has not moved for a long time.

Komaeda was the only one confronting this tall, girlish man in the cold wind.

Matsui wiped off his sweat.She was panting from crawling, sweating profusely all over her body.The air here seemed quite thin, and she was panting badly within a few steps.

The bright light she had just seen was emitted by the lighting equipment under the body.Matsui doesn't know much about lighting equipment for photography, so naturally he can't call out the professional name of this kind of light.In her opinion, lamps are only divided into table lamps, lamps on the ceiling, lamps on the walls, and lamps on the floor—that is a rough classification.

Although it is said to be strong light, it is actually relative to the dark surrounding environment.In fact, this light is not a high-power lighting device at all, but a flashlight with high spotlight.In Matsui's view, the only meaning of this light is probably to create the atmosphere of a horror movie, and the face is frightened and horrified when it is lit from the bottom up.

Matsui recalled the surveillance camera he saw just now, followed the eyes of the mummy, and found a camera above the door.

After watching it for a while, Matsui's impression is: This high-end camera looks like it costs a lot of money.

——Well, Matsui, a vulgar woman, can only think of this aspect.

The ceiling here is already too low, so cramped that it reminds Matsui of her experience of climbing ventilation ducts in the past.She couldn't even straighten her waist, and crawled forward like a guerrilla.

While crawling, she complained in her heart that the light source here was poor. The only light source except for the part of the head was so dark that she could barely see the outline of the object.

In such a dark place, it's really too difficult to kill people... How can you fight in the dark?Could it be that he was wearing night vision goggles?

When she finally crawled in front of the corpse, she was already so tired that she lay down on the ground and pretended to be a dead pig.

Close to the only light source, a bright spot of light attracted her attention—it was a small school badge pinned to the corpse's chest.

"Kobayashi Shimizu".

The big characters "Go to death" were painted in dark red color full of resentment on the back. The rough and wild red characters were twisted and twisted to make one's skin crawl.

"He's... still wearing a school uniform." The words "Kanagawa Senior Girls' High School" are embroidered on the clothes, which you can't tell if you don't look carefully.

It took her a lot of effort to decipher these words, the words "Kanagawa" were almost blurred by dark red blood.There were holes all over the clothes, which seemed to have been punctured by sharp objects, and black and red blood stains spread all over his body.

Because of the lighting problem, what she could see most clearly, except for the school badge, was that terrifying face.She rubbed her arms, wondering if she could move the light source a little away, so that she could see what the surrounding environment looked like.

However, after doing it, she realized that some things were very different from what she thought.

"Did it happen?" She looked at the lamp with a string in her hand in disbelief.

"Looking at the neat clothes on the corpse, it doesn't look like they had a dispute with someone or were put on after death, otherwise there will be more or less relevant reactions on the corpse—although Xiaolin's corpse is almost mummified, But the situation before her death can still be seen. There are no scratches or choke marks left on her body due to resistance...It can only show that she was taken away by an acquaintance." Komaeda said quietly, "Xiaolin still has her school badge on , can only explain that she was taken away when she was in school. Ayase said that Kobayashi has the habit of playing billiards in school wearing tight skirts, and as far as I know, no school uses tight skirts as school uniforms, so she must be wearing private clothes In this way, Kobayashi was taken away right after class. It is not the so-called... after nine o'clock, after completing club activities. You can take Kobayashi away as soon as school is over, and forged testimony Proving that she played billiards in the billiards club and then staggered the time of the incident to prove that she was not there... only her boyfriend, right?"

"Far-fetched."

"That's true." Komaeda actually nodded solemnly in agreement, "But I'm right, aren't I?"

"It's really a blind cat catching a dead mouse..." The other party was also speechless because he was cheated out by Komaeda, "Pretending to be the real thing..."

"The drying time of the cement is not fast, half a day is the least. And it is obviously impossible to maintain that posture for more than ten hours or even dozens of hours... So I thought that Xiaolin didn't put his limbs into it when he was alive. Of course, if Kobayashi is really an S/M fan, this is possible... But while maintaining the same movement, the concrete floor below appears so flat, which is obviously problematic. This extends to two Possibility: First, Xiao Lin was dead and was built in. Second, Xiao Lin was still alive when he was thrown into the house, and he was indeed buried alive in the cement, but the cement was laid in two parts. Considering the It was very difficult for the dead Kobayashi's body to be hung up and put in that position until the cement hardened, and there were no strangle marks on the dead body...so I think, the way Kobayashi died was like this—"

Komaeda was silent for a while, the other party's expression made him unable to see any clues, he sighed silently in his heart, and said: "You dug a hole first, then fixed the handcuffs at the bottom of the hole, and after handcuffing Xiaolin inside, , and then pour cement into the pit. I guess the height is about Xiaolin’s neck or chest, so that Xiaolin can’t use the less labor-saving way of kneeling to save energy, otherwise her whole face will be submerged in the cement and suffocate. In order not to Drowning herself in cement, she has to put her elbows on the ground in horror, try to lift her head up, keep her nose away from the unset cement, and at the same time she knows you will be watching behind the camera, doing all kinds of things all the time. The expression is trying to make you let her out for a moment. Then keep it like this for a day or two, and the cement will completely solidify. At this time, even if she has no strength, it will not help. It flows as if it is not solidified, but it will fix her body in place. Then when Xiaolin is dead, you only need to take some cement to fill and smooth the marks that she struggled when she was still alive."

"Don't you know there is something called quick-drying cement?" The corner of the other party's mouth twitched.

The 16-year-old Komaeda, whose skin is not thick enough to practice, is silent—he didn't learn how to build walls, who knows that there is such a thing as quick-drying cement!

Matsui looked at the lamp in his hand in surprise, and for a moment he became playful, swinging his arms and swinging the lamp in all directions. For a moment, the room was like a disco, with spots of light flying wildly.

After playing enough, she illuminated the ground just now with a lamp, and was surprised to find that there were some cement blocks on the cables she brought out by shaking just now.She tried to reach out and touch it in, but it was still damp.

"The inside of the cement is not dry..."

She was a little confused. It looked like the cement had been put on recently, but what's the point?

Do not understand.

But thanks to this accidental discovery, Matsui easily removed all the cement wrapped on the cable, and found two other wires extending to the wall.She soon found two secret doors in the wall, the same type as the ones she found on the first floor.There are two headlights inside, which are very similar to the professional lighting equipment she usually sees - when doing talk shows or taking photos in magazines, it can make the skin of the characters white and bright, and usually put this kind of lighting equipment next to it. Light, you can also see it when taking ID photos.However, although this kind of light can cover up the blemishes of the character's skin and increase the glossiness, it is generally unaffordable for private photography-its price is not so close to the people.Moreover, this kind of lamp also has great disadvantages, not to mention that it is difficult to move, the power is high, and the heat emitted is also large.Therefore, in general programs, these lamps are covered with a layer of paper, otherwise people will be sweating profusely after being illuminated like this.

Matsui once heard an anecdote about a person who was dissatisfied with the staff because of playing big names, causing the staff to remove the paper on the lamp. In less than 10 minutes, that person was covered with sweat , The makeup is a mess.

And the lights in this dark room are not covered with paper.

Matsui thumped in his heart, and looked along the position of the lamp head——

Right across from the corpse.

"Xiao Lin obviously didn't become a mummy in a normal way. I think her appearance is more like the appearance of her body after taking away all the blood in a short period of time. So I think that Xiao Lin was probably drained of her whole body in that room Blood. At first I was indeed misled by the black challenge card found in the basement. I thought she was bloodletted by the Iron Maiden in the basement, but after thinking about it, I found that the body had a lot of holes. The one on her school uniform There was too little blood. According to the amount of bleeding, the blood would never be drained cleanly, and there would be spots on the corpse, but according to the surveillance, her corpse was quite clean. I checked the surveillance again later, and there was no window in that room. So there must be a light installed, otherwise there would be no light, and it would be impossible to complete the murder scene. The light source under the corpse is completely impossible to complete, after all, from the camera, it can only illuminate the head and chest of the corpse , there is only a blurry outline at a little farther away. So there must be a brighter lamp-using a lamp of this brightness to illuminate the corpse may speed up the evaporation of water. Even if it is not illuminated by a lamp, put a Heating devices such as floor heating are not a problem, and it is more than enough for individuals to dry up."

Komaeda was a little tired from talking so much in one breath.Especially in the face of an opponent with a deadpan face who didn't know whether he was listening to him or wandering in his mind, Komaeda struggled even more.As he spoke, he observed the other party's reaction nonchalantly, trying to find the moment when the other party was relaxed, and use force to kill him directly.However, this kind of reaction from the other party is really incomprehensible, and Komaeda has the intention to fight, but he also knows that the distance between the two of them is really subtle.No matter how fast his reaction speed was and no matter how fast he ran, he might not be as fast as the other party to draw his gun.Give him a shot and it's over.

"So, what is your conclusion?"

Komaeda sighed inwardly, gradually he felt helpless in the face of such a reckless opponent.He slowed down his speech in an unobtrusive manner, and began to delay time: "And the whole purpose of your doing all this... is to make us think that this corpse existed many years ago. The one found in the basement The black challenge is indeed the black challenge Kobayashi Shimizu received, but Kobayashi Shimizu did not die at that time. If I infer... The black challenge must keep the detective alive, right? Otherwise, in a game, the last The important "decryptor" is gone, and this reasoning game is quite boring, and even has no meaning of existence. Murderer, victim, detective - these are the three most important factors of a reasoning game, sometimes even There may be no victims, but there must be detectives. Therefore, Kobayashi Shimizu can never die in this black challenge, and even the murderer has to do his best to protect the detectives from surviving—am I right?"

"...There are two tricks."

"I'm sorry, I'm just being blind."

"So, you already know the purpose of creating the mummy effect?"

Komaeda was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Of course."

Matsui didn't care if the clothes were black, dirty or full of blood, he casually reached into the pocket of the other's chest, and inadvertently touched a hard card.

She pulled it out, and there was something strange written on it.

[Announcement to the detective

Hear the Black Cry

Forest cabin 8000 million

Weapon:

Cement 500 million

Choking 8000 million

Total cost: 1 million

According to the above expenses, the following detectives are called—]

"..."

Matsui tilted her head and looked at the card. After a long time, she dropped the lamp in her hand and crawled out.

"The purpose of manufacturing... is to make us mistakenly believe that this is the body of 'Xiaolin' many years ago? After all, there have been news about Xiaolin being attacked by a serial murderer before. At this time, it is Xiaolin who is in the dark room. It's easy to give people a feeling of 'ah, it turned out that Kobayashi died because of the shady challenge of Heizhi'. Many people think that they have found the truth when they think of this, and they think it's ok to stop here, and to themselves I firmly believe in the inference. But in fact, this identity is simply a cover, just to lead people into a trap, thinking that it is the real body of Kobayashi who died many years ago. Including the black challenge paper in the basement, the blood-stained iron Virgin, the blood holes poked out of the corpse in the secret room are all trying to lure me to think in this direction. But in fact, it is not Xiaolin at all, but someone else... It is precisely because you let her wear a school uniform to reveal it The truth of the matter was revealed. The school uniform should belong to Kanagawa Girls High School, but Matsui told me that the place where Kobayashi died was Kobe."

"..."

"As for Kanagawa, there happened to be a victim. Her name was—"

"Mao Ueda." Behind him, Matsui who didn't know when to appear, hugged his shoulders, leaning on the iron rod, and continued. ?
