Chapter 33 Chapter VII

Has Yingyue Danxue really reached the "afterlife world" that she has been feeling uneasy about?Did he pass through the "cave" that made the world constantly change? I was sitting next to Daisuke Kimura's bed in Room 7 on the second floor of Pineapple House. All my fingers were covered with gentamicin and wrapped in bandages. When I was dressing, Hongo Taxi Taxi Chong Enter Kimura's room. "We found Kato dead." "What?" Shocked, I was held down by Hongo Taxi as I was about to stand up. "Just sit down. Now I want you to answer my question. You just said that you went to the 'Pengliju Grand Theater', right, where is that grand theater?"

"That kind of thing doesn't exist." "No. Didn't you go to a place after you accepted Kato's suggestion and went to bed just now? What I want to ask is, where is the 'Pineapple House Theater' you saw at that time?" "Point Loma, San Diego." "OK. You also saw a lot of detectives gathered there, didn't you?" "Yes. Well, you sit down first and then talk." "No. I must resolve this matter as soon as possible." After speaking, Hongo Taxi Taxi prepared to leave the room with tears in his eyes.I think he should find a place to be quiet by himself, or sit with fellow grieving companions.But for a serious detective, maybe starting to reason about the incident as soon as possible is the best way to distract yourself from sadness. I know I can't stop him.

However, I still want to ask him a question. "What is the background of that Yingyue?" Hongo stopped and stood at the door of Room No. 7 with his back to me.I saw his back trembling. "Kato... the work he did under the name of Sakurazuki Danyuki is somewhat psychic in nature. But he does not belong to the kind of person who can see ghosts or know the location of ghosts, nor can he use his soul like a witch. Transferred to others, his ability is to go to the edge of the other world, and even bring others there. Therefore, he can see people who are on the way to the other world, and people who are still wandering in this world, and even Can bring others to those people. Although I don't believe in this world and the afterlife, but I believe that what the guy is doing is true. That is to say... Those who believe in the world and the afterlife can probably Get his help."

Benxiang turned his face and said, "Tell me, where do people go after they die?" "I also discussed this issue with Yingyue just now. If a person dies, there is nothing left. With a 'pop', the darkness descends, and the story ends here." snap.The lights go out.death signal. How credible is the sentence I just said to myself? "Don't ignore the existence of 'Xiao Shao'." After speaking, Hongo left Room 7. "SS-Nail Peeler" kept reminding me of the existence of "Sue" when I was "Mizutaro Odoriba", but I can't remember the name at all.

Now, the pointed pig is sitting on my lap. "Shao, I didn't ignore you." I said to her, and the pointed pig raised its round face and looked at me.The tip is here. Is Yingyue dead too? I let out a long sigh. Did Yingyue Danxue really reach the "afterlife world" that she has always felt uneasy about?Did he go through the 'cave' where the world keeps changing?What would it be like to be banished to a place you've always been afraid to go near? If death was really like a lamp being extinguished, if the soul would no longer have any activity after leaving the body, then Yingyue's panic and chaos would never have happened.Moreover, the panda loyalist incident will definitely not happen, and maybe even the Fengliju incident will be reduced to nothing. In this way, Shao and I will not be involved.

Humans are such troublesome creatures... no, they should be said to be dying. However, the members of the Angel Rabbit Troupe bet all on this troublesome human being.While Hongo with tears in his eyes was talking to me, members of the Angel Rabbit team had been working together to give CPR and artificial respiration to Yingyue Danxue whose left eye was pierced by chopsticks. They ignored the police's request to hand over the body for an autopsy and put Yingyue on a ventilator. After I wrapped my hands and ten fingers with bandages, I walked out of Room 7 and saw Master Erliu, Goddess of Beauty, standing in the corridor, looking at the members of the Angel Rabbit Troupe gathered in Kato's room on the 10th, right in front of the corridor.

"As long as the brain and heart are kept functioning, Mr. Yingyue may return to this body." Master Er Liu said. "Do you really believe in that possibility?" I asked. "You should believe it, how should I put it... I don't know how to doubt these things that happened here, so I just gave up doubting." Master Erliu didn't turn to me, still staring at Room 10 and said, "I choose to believe all this. In other words, even if I didn't take the initiative to believe it, but as I am now, no matter how strange things are, I will feel that I am not surprised."

"What about reasoning? Is it still possible to challenge? According to the current context." This time, Lord Erliu finally turned around and looked directly at my face. "Of course. As long as you see the truth, there is no real fear. This has nothing to do with the context. Anyway, Mr. Wednesday, what kind of context are you reading now? What Mr. Wednesday said just now "Context" probably refers to "a detective will make mistakes and die no matter what kind of reasoning he makes." However, I must point out that this reading method is very undesirable. The pulse should be 'Mr. Wednesday must take some action and must find a way to solve the incident'."

I could feel his anxiety towards me from Master Er Liu's eyes and tone. "I've heard about it. You came to this Pineapple House under the guidance of 'Xiao Shao', right?" Little Shao called my name here, and "Seventeen-year-old Shao" also asked me to come here. "You go. I will stay here and write." "Among the twelve words written around here, there is also the word 'Wednesday', right?" "onsdag." "Mr. Yingyue seems to say that the reason why the dead detectives pierced their eyes with chopsticks is because they called Mr. Wednesday's name, didn't they?"

"The name of 'Odin, the One-Eyed God,' has been called nine times. It is almost time for us to respond, and this is also for Miss Tip." "Moreover, I also discovered such a thing." Master Er Liu said, "But this fact will point out the loopholes in Mr. Yingyue's reasoning." "...Let's hear it." "That's right there." Lord Erliu turned his gaze to the central hall in front of us. "Come with me." I couldn't help but glance at my feet.The blood of Saburo Mitamura was right in front of me. "Protection Circle".

"Although I don't know whether Mr. Yingyue's reasoning about this part is correct or not, I can assure you that there will be no problem, as long as it will be fine for a while." Master Er Liu said, "And I've been staying in the hall just now and I'm fine." I also considered whether to put the tip back in Room No. 7, but the pointy pig clung to my face and hugged me. Seeing my hesitation, Lord Erliu said: "Then please wait for me here." After finishing speaking, he walked to the stairs in front of Room 7, and said as he went downstairs, "There is indeed a painting on the floor in the center of the hall. The tree of life'. But the crux of the problem lies in the wooden stick entwined with two snakes in the traveler's banana flower pot. Mr. Yingyue just regarded it as the 'tree of wisdom', but if it is really 'to lure Eve to eat it' Forbidden Fruit Devil Snake, there should be one. But there are two snakes on the stick. Look at this!" Master Erliu gradually amplified his voice, and finally came to the side of the tall Traveler's Plantain. He stretched out his hand to the grass, grabbed the long wooden stick standing in it, and pulled it out.The wooden stick is twice as long as the little Erliu master, and there are a pair of wings attached to the heads of the twin snakes wrapped around it (see Figure 13). "This is not so much the 'Tree of Wisdom' as the 'Staff of Hermes', Mr. Wednesday! This is the 'Patron of Travelers', 'Messenger of the Gods' Hermes in Greek mythology. ''s Double Snake Staff!" Lord Erliu held up the "Double Snake Staff" and went back upstairs. "Hermes also has the identity of 'the god of death who guides the dead to the underworld'. So in some cases, he is the same as the god of war and death in Norse mythology who entertained the fallen soldiers and heroes in the halls of Valhalla." Odin' would be lumped together, Mr Wednesday." Lord Erliu walked up to me and handed me the "Staff of Hermes".The part of the wings is still stained with the soil in the flowerpot.It turned out that it was buried upside down in the soil. Lord Erliu continued to question me: "If the famous detectives who appeared at the scene of the incident are 'braves' or 'heroes', then can this Pineapple House that brought them together and let them fight each other and die be called the "hero"? What about the 'Palace of Valhalla'? Is 'Odin' just going to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, admiring the death of the warriors, Mr. Wednesday?" I gripped the "Hermes Rod" tightly, and wanted to knock this clever kid on the face and kill him on the spot. What can I do! Don't hang on to me because of this coincidental overlap!But I can't agree with my own idea. I have come here.I'm a detective, a detective who searches for missing children.And the tip is still lingering in this place. I knew I had to figure out what to do. Even so, what can I do! Lord Erliu looked away from me who couldn't make up his mind to swing the "Hermes Staff", and he said in a steady voice: "But, how should I put it, it's really great that I can point this out here .I've been thinking, if only this were 'Valhalla'. Mr. Wednesday, in 'Valhalla', the 'heroes' who died in battle will eventually be resurrected. And then they will be again Into the 'battle'." I stopped staring at the "Hermes Rod" in my hand, and turned to look at Room 10, which is located in the front right of the corridor across the central hall.They are all waiting for the resurrection of Yingyue Danxue, the "famous detective". But his brain was pierced by chopsticks, wasn't it? In this way, I suddenly woke up. With such a degree of damage to the brain, Yingyue might not be able to be completely killed. Walter Freeman's transorbital lobotomy. It is impossible for Yingyue to also suffer from depression, so he certainly would not rashly perform such a reckless operation. However, there are still patients who survived such a reckless operation.Just a little damage to the frontal lobe doesn't kill a person.So sticking chopsticks into your head doesn't necessarily mean you'll die.Then, Yingyue is in a state where his body has not yet died, but his soul has long been dissociated... Maybe he just entered his "after-death world" and has not yet been able to escape. Thinking of this, I asked, "Where are you playing?" "It can't be done." Master Erliu replied, "When we found him in the toilet, all the corpse spots came out. So he had been dead for at least 30 minutes at that time. Even if he was put on a ventilator immediately, his brain might be damaged. There is no way to save it. If you go into a state of oxygen deprivation, the brain will start to die within minutes." "I see……" "Mr. Wednesday, what kind of person is Mr. Mercury C?" Master Er Liu suddenly threw out this question. "Actually, I don't know too well." I replied, "After all, I just met him during the day." "Oh……" "All I know is that he's as good as he looks, and he's a Japanese confectioner, that's all." "right." "Why do you ask about this?" "No, I'm just thinking that Mr. Mercury C is probably also a pre-designed character in this event." "That kid? He's just expanding the disturbance." However, it was Mercury C who rushed to the "Pineapple House Grand Theater" to save me. "Why do you think that?" I asked again. Master Erliu replied: "'Hermes' in Greek mythology is not only equated with 'Odin' in Norse mythology, but also regarded as 'Mercurius' in Roman mythology. " "Mercurius"...the English name is "Mercury". It is "Mercury". "Why are you talking nonsense?" A voice came from behind, I turned around and found Mercury C standing there. "Why do you say that I am the same character as this idiot?" Said, Mercury C took a step forward, snatched the "Stand of Hermes" from my hand, and broke it on his knee with a loud roar up.snap! "Ah!" Lord Erliu and I exclaimed at the same time. "Ah what, you two idiots, remember for me, any marks in this building have nothing to do with me." After finishing speaking, Mercury C folded the "Hermes Rod" in two "Throw it on the ground.All that remained were sticks with wings embedded in their tips and snakes. "What are you afraid of, detective?" Mercury C continued, "The more you are afraid, the less you can fight." He should be speaking to me. "Why don't you go back?" "Where are you going?" "Call back to Publish." "How can this be possible....Go back. You're doing nothing here anyway. Besides, SS-Nail Peeler is clearly eyeing you Already." Sure enough, I thought.Although I didn't deliberately confirm with Mercury C, the experience in the Fengliju Grand Theater seems to be shared by us.Then it really wasn't a "dream".While some part of me had always hoped that the experience was an illusion created by my brain, it now appears that this was not the case. "Mercury, how did you find the 'Pineapple House Theater'?" "What? It didn't take much effort. I ran to your office in San Diego and saw that the floor had turned into a sea of ​​blood, an old woman had been ripped apart, and the windows were broken, and I saw you were opening the door. The car got out of there. So I had no choice but to flag down a taxi and follow you." "In that case, why didn't Yingyue come over?" "Ask Yingyue about that kind of thing. I don't know why that guy only has his voice left in the middle of the walk, but he seems to be able to see me. In short, if you insist on staying here but don't have anything Do it, at least mess up the situation with your hands. If you sit on the negotiating table with such a half-hearted attitude, you will be forced to accept many unfair conditions. If you don't have anything in particular you want to do, don't talk to these weird people The perverts are staying together. Ignore it, ignore it. Let's go back, at least go back to Youyou and take a good soak in the hot spring. Anyway, I'm almost tired of it. There are so many detectives in this world, maybe they will run away Come here and die one by one." "...But I can't leave here just yet." "Is it because Xiao Shao is here? You idiot, don't use a six-year-old as an excuse to escape." "I didn't escape." "Then stand up and fight!" Maybe this is the time for someone to punch me hard and knock me to the ground, but I dodge that punch in a blink of an eye and land a hard left hook on Mercury C's face.I have already seen through the movements of Mercury C.I am well aware of this. Mercury C fell to the ground, looked up at me and smiled. "It's the same as fighting each other. You may suffer a lot at first, but gradually your body will react faster. But if you are always afraid of being beaten, you can only be beaten all the time." My breathing became rapid. "And here... once you get beaten, you will die." Will be pierced by chopsticks in the eye and die. "Isn't this the 'Palace of Valhalla'? That brat said it just now, you just have to believe what he said. The 'Einherjar (Soul of the Brave)' summoned here will keep repeating life and death and 'battle '. If your eye is pierced by a chopstick, I'll throw the useless Sakura aside and connect you to the tube. Anyway, that's the road we walked and came back. So you just have to go Go once and come back again." "Will all the people who died go to the 'Fengliju Grand Theater'?" "Isn't it? At least it seems to me." Lord Erliu asked: "Mr. Mercury C, can you go to the 'Fengliju Grand Theater'? If you go there, at least bring Mr. Yingyue back." "That's not my job." Said, Mercury C stood up, "Isn't it the same over there, detective. Everyone gave their reasoning for you alone, and it was all speeches for you. Now it's your turn. When you were in the 'Pineapple Ju Grand Theater', although you could only stand on the stage speechless, you must do something this time. I can't guarantee that I can beat that every time. 'SS-Nail Peeler', get you back." The rubberized hand of "SS-Nail Peeler" might reach out to me again, crunching in my ear. "It's really useless. It doesn't make any sense for me to wait any longer. If this goes on, the detectives are too pitiful. Just, I will pierce one of your eyes now." It was that musical voice again.My legs started to go weak. "I said you." Mercury C said again, "There is no need to fight according to the rules he made." I stare at Mercury C. "You can choose to believe in the 'Palace of Valhalla', or you can choose not to believe it. The most important thing is to make a choice. If you are always hesitating which side to choose, you will easily waver or overthink when encountering things. Give me a little bit!" I dodged the attack from Mercury C on the left, but it was just a feint.Mercury C easily avoided my right path, and hit my chest hard with his right fist. Mercury C said to me who was bent over in pain: "You will still be knocked down by this kind of fake action now. But as long as you stand up again immediately, you may be able to cope well next time. However, the guy who avoids fighting will never Can't do that. What are you going to do now, detective?" What can I do?I have no idea.But all the events encountered before this, all the reversal after reversal, are not all mazes with unpredictable futures.But I managed to resolve those events in the end. Just do as you normally would. What do I usually do when searching for a missing child?First collect information about the missing child's surroundings.Parents, neighbor relations, school relations.Conduct an inspection of the people and environment around the object, and then obtain information from people.Try to retrace that child's life. I know the experiences of the last six years at the top of the mountain.But now I am in the deep mountains in the countryside of Fukui Prefecture, staying in Fengli Juli on the top of the mountain.The history of Sasuke has nothing to do with Fukui and Fengliju. So why am I here?Because I was looking for "Pineapple Tunnel", Mercury C and Spoon thought of this incident in "Pineapple House".Through the common point of "pineapple", I came here. So, how much do I know about Pineapple House?I don't understand at all.I came here this evening, and until now I can only stand by and watch the reasoning battle taking place here.In order to construct their own reasoning, famous detectives must have collected and screened a lot of information, but I still don't know what information they gave up. "Want to fight?" Mercury C asked. The answer is yes, of course to fight.This is for tip. I'm reminded of what "SS-Nail Peeler" said to me. "You must have forgotten Shao, right? How can you forget the most important thing because of the shock in front of you?" He was absolutely right.I just kept accepting those shocking facts, but I didn't do anything about it. The pointy pig is on my shoulder. "Disco." Shao's voice sounded like he was about to cry.I straighten my upper body. "I'll be fine, Joe. We're not fighting." "Does it hurt?" "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." "Let's go back." "Well. I can go back soon." "How many minutes?" "It will take a while." "don't want." "Shao, you can stay with this uncle for a while." I pointed to Mercury C, "Then 'SS-Nail Peeler' will never come to bully you." "Isn't it 'Esses Naibina'?" "Ok." "Where's the disco?" "I am going to work." Shao was silent for a moment: "Well, be careful." This is what I hear every time I go out to work.She would always fight back her loneliness and say to me "be careful". I put the pointy pig in Mercury C's hand. "Okay, Xiao Shao, you must really want to sleep. When Disco-kun is working, you should have a good sleep." Pointy Pig looked up at me in the hands of Mercury C. "Go, detective. 'Ragnar k' is approaching." "Ragnar k?" "It's the 'End Moment' in Nordic mythology." Lord Erliu said, looking at Mercury C. "Is there a tomorrow's time recorded on the 'star disk' of Fengliju? July 15, 2006, at 23:26." Mercury C raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. Master Erliu said: "But Mr. Mercury C seems to be planning to ignore this context, right?" Mercury C said: "What are you talking about, idiot. If a strong man like me doesn't fight according to the rules set by the opponent, it's too unfair to him, isn't it? In the opponent's base camp, use the opponent's choice method, let the opponent take the first step, even so, I can still win the final victory. Hee hee hee." "It's amazing." After saying that, Master Erliu showed a wry smile. Mercury C said to him, "Ah, you two idiots. It's all because of your babbling and talking, and now there's another idiot who wants to die." I took a closer look, and it turned out that Hongo Taxi Taxi had already walked out of Room 10 on the second floor and yelled at us. "Listen to me, the puzzle has been solved! The secret of Pineapple House is revealed! Pineapple House was not Pineapple House in the first place! It was rebuilt!" It has been rebuilt... If this is true, then if I had started to inquire about the Fengli House just now, would I have gotten the same answer now? Then the reasoning that Hongo is about to start may become my reasoning. So when Mercury C scolded me and Er Liuzhu, I really panicked, but then I saw Hongo's eyes, and I understood immediately. The reasoning this time must be left to Hongo to complete. Because Hongo Taxi Taxi has his own intentions.
