Chapter 44 Chapter Eighteen

The Angel Rabbit members still stood there dumbfounded.I certainly don't think that what I say can make them really see it.But in the various demonstrations I will make next, they should be able to see the truth one after another.Best to keep going.To keep them in a state of confusion, there is no time to convince themselves with superfluous theories.If the mind becomes a mess, they have to believe what they see. I suddenly started illustrating them with pictures (see Figure 37). "Now let's assume a rectangular and slender building - Natsugawa Villa, and mark the left and right ends of it near the parking lot as 'X' and 'Y', and then mark the left and right ends of the building near the courtyard Mark the ends as 'X'' and 'Y''. Then, take the midpoint of the corridor 'XY' of Natsugawa Villa and mark it as 'P', and take the midpoint of the courtyard side as 'Q'. Finally, put 'X' and 'Y', 'X'' and 'Y'' coincide on the extension line of the straight line 'QP' to form a circle, which is Pineapple House."

"In this way, Room No. 1 and Room 12 of Najinchuan Villa became two adjacent rooms in the middle of Fengli Center, and their numbers were changed to Room 9 and Room 8. This is probably because he Install the astrolabe in the Pineapple House." What?I only heard someone murmured confusion, and the other members were silent, but it probably wasn't frightened by my words, but just didn't know how to respond.No one seems to be able to keep up with my train of thought right now. "Everyone must have discovered that there is a fault between the eighth room and the ninth room, no matter the inner wall or the outer wall, or even the roof. In fact, it is not a fault in the wall. It is the wall at both ends of the Nazugawa Villa. The traces left when we were together."

Silent shock.very good.I didn't let them have any space to think, and continued: "Also, the hole in the wall between rooms 8 and 9 is not a hole deliberately dug out to imitate some 'scorpion' myth or something else .In fact, it is the window near the outer wall that will be installed in corner rooms such as Room 1 and Room 12 of Nazugawa Villa." Now they could no longer keep silent.Next comes the numbers.So I asked: "Kimura, let everyone take a look at the design drawing of Natsugawa Villa. Room 1 and Room 12 in the corner room should have other windows besides the innermost part of the room?"

"It really is, it's amazing, it's a bay window." "How many bay windows are there in each room?" "only one." "Is the size of the bay window indicated on the picture?" "It's marked. That... is 185 centimeters long horizontally, 108 centimeters wide vertically, and the depth is..." "The depth is unnecessary. Are there bay windows on the first and second floors?" "Ah, yes. All the same size." "There are both Room 1 and Room 12, right?" "Well, both." "Very good. Who was in charge of measuring the size of the hole in the walls of rooms 8 and 9 in Fengliju?"

Several men and women raised their hands. I asked them. "What are the length and width of the hole in the wall?" "One hundred and eighty-eight centimeters and one hundred and eleven centimeters." "The three-centimeter error between the length and width should be the size of the window frames. Because the window frames of those windows were removed after the Naijingawa Villa became Fengli Residence, the holes became larger accordingly." Oh oh oh, there was a voice of sudden realization in the crowd, because the three centimeter gap between the window frames weakened the impact of the numbers a lot.But it doesn't matter.That must be inevitable.

So I continued: "The Pineapple House was not rebuilt after the demolition of the Najinchuan Villa, but a transformation of the Nazugawa Villa." The members of the Angel Rabbit troupe were silent again. I asked them a topic: "Just now, did you watch me and Mercury C disappear?" As soon as the words fell, the Angel Rabbit members immediately became excited again. "Yes, yes!" "Disappeared!" "It became flat and got into the wall between rooms No. 8 and No. 9..." Some people hesitated to speak, while others gradually became enlightened up. So I said, "Well, it looks a lot like being flattened. Of course, some people think that we suddenly disappeared. But you are all wrong. Mercury and I have neither collapsed nor disappeared. That is simply an illusion of your eyes , we just came to a certain place. Continue to look at the picture." I added a few more strokes to the picture just now, "If you mark the center of the world in the center of the Fengliju hall as 'O', and at the same time put The side of Naijinchuan Villa that becomes round, that is, the wall between rooms 8 and 9 of Fengliju, the point on the side near the hall is marked as 'P'', and the point on the side near the outer wall is marked as' In the case of Q'', the 'line segment OP'', that is, the plane between the 'center of the world' and rooms 8 and 9, there will be almost this much space..." I paint with slashes with large intervals (see Fig. 38), "And the 'line segment P'Q'', that is, between the interior wall and the exterior wall, there will be so much space that will..." I paint with diagonal stripes with smaller intervals (see Fig. 39).

"...will be compressed into a flat surface." The Angel Rabbit members gasped again.I can even hear them trying to make brain cells. "That is to say, when I step into the diagonal area in 'Figure 38', from your point of view, I will be compressed to the 'line segment OP' and become flattened, and when I continue to 'Figure 39 ', I would, in your view, be sucked into the wall between rooms eight and nine." The members of the Angel Rabbit were speechless, and there was a moment of silence. Someone said, "Ah, I can't do it anymore. My mind is in a mess now, and I can't figure it out at all." After he finished venting, everyone asked questions one after another.

"Then can we see that too?" "How can we see Natsugawa Villa?" "How did Mr. Wednesday see it?" "Mr. Mercury?" "You are lying." Hello, hello. "Don't be suspicious just because you don't understand. Use your brain to think about it." "But..." The person who said this was still Daisuke Kimura who said "you lied".This kid is the key to the problem.But as long as this kid trusts me, everyone else will be fine. I leave the whiteboard and walk down the hall past the "Center of the World". Immediately afterwards, the Angel Rabbit members made a loud noise that could not be distinguished from screams or cheers.

"Wooahhhhh!" "It's flat!" "Amazing!" In this huge commotion, a boy screamed and fell to the ground.That guy looked at me patronizingly and accidentally walked to the door of Room 4, so he should have been knocked down by the inertial law of illusion just like me. "Wow...it's amazing, it's true, it's really Nazugawa Villa..." The boy looking around seems to be called Lin. "Hey, what do you mean, Lin, have you seen it?" "It can't be regarded as seeing it. It should be said that the way of seeing has changed... But there seems to be no difference between the two. Ah, I even changed my outlook on life."

"No way... I really want to see it too." "Use your mind's eye. Open your mind's eye and you'll see." Someone started talking nonsense again, so I quickly got over it. "It's not something like a ghost experience. You just have to keep your eyes open and think about it. Hey, everyone who can see, go to the parking lot." "Okay." Lin stood up energetically, brushed past me, and I went back to the whiteboard again. "Oh oh oh oh... Lin also became flat..." "I really want to use him as wrapping paper..." "Quickly turn sideways... oh oh! No matter what direction he turns, his face will not change Turning into a flat surface..." "Will it be inconvenient..." The members of the Angel Rabbit team started joking with each other again.

"If you distract yourself by telling jokes, you will always be a cheated person." It was quiet.I have also become like a teacher in the space knowledge classroom. The explanation will continue again. “After distorting Natsugawa Villa into a circle and completing the basic construction of Fengli House, Saburo Mitamura opened the entrance, installed skylights, laid the floor, and replaced the stairs and handrails in order to turn it into a complete house. But he didn't make any changes to the second-floor access, just painted it, put those clear panels for the movable astrolabe, and finally put the carpet. So even after all these additions and The corridors of the original Nazugawa Villa have been completely preserved. Just now, I, Izumi, and the Angel Rabbit Troupe... Hebian and Uemura have just confirmed. Although it is hidden in the Under the paint, but there is still an old bloodstain in the corridor. Needless to say, it is the bloodstain left by the big laugher who was attacked by Saburo Mitamura six years ago and fell down the corridor of Nazugawa Villa. If anyone else wants to go If you want to see it, you can go upstairs to have a look now. But don’t go too far. Because when Fengliju returns to Nazugawa Villa, the stairs will straighten at once, and the farther away from the entrance, the greater the shaking range. It’s an illusion, but I still feel like I’m being blown away.” But that illusion is so realistic, it must make them feel that they are really flying.Because feeling is also a product of consciousness, if consciousness has that feeling, then that feeling exists in reality. ...But they still ignored my reminder, and two girls knocked their heads on the door of Room 12. "It hurts, it hurts!" After screaming.Both of them laughed again, "It's amazing! It's true, ahahaha! It's so funny. It feels like the whole world is bouncing with a 'bang'!" After the two girls walked to the "visible people area" and joined Lin, facing the scene where the two became flat again, another girl beside me reacted to this and staggered a bit. "Wow..." "Why is Gunhara like this? It's so easy to believe such words, don't you all have common sense?" Hebian said, but I think his words are not unreasonable.It may indeed be a problem to run so easily outside the bounds of common sense. However, I still said to him: "Riverside, your so-called common sense is just your stubborn thoughts. That's because you are too ignorant. Use your brain to think." "oops……" It seems that no one can wake up at this time. "You still can't figure it out when you see the blood of the big laugh, which I find a little weird, but I also know that it is difficult to grasp. Well, then I decided to give you some visual shock. You find someone who can represent People from the troupe, come upstairs with me." As soon as I finished speaking, Fukushima Gaku stood up and said, "I'm sorry. The police do not agree to return the bow..." "Well, it's okay. Anyway, we have found the bow and gun as the murder weapon." "Ah, that, is it really the murder weapon?" "Yes. But it cannot be handed over to the police for the time being." "Okay. But, fingerprints or something..." "No problem. After the matter is over, just ask them to collect the fingerprints of you, me, and Mercury C for comparison." "what?" "It's not a big problem." I ignored Fukushima's confused expression and said to the Angel Rabbit members downstairs, "Everyone, the empirical experiment I'm going to conduct next will be the key to solving the incident. This is the last time Opportunities, so everyone should take a closer look.” Downstairs Qiqi responded: "Okay." "Although there are many problems, they are still in order." I sighed, "Well done, leader." Fukushima hurriedly nodded and bowed: "Where is it?" "Then let's go to the front of Room No. 7." After finishing speaking, Fukushima and I started from Room 1, Fukushima walked towards Room 12, and I walked towards Room 2.Fukushima came to his senses and caught up with me in a panic. At this moment, I suddenly noticed the uneasiness in my heart.When going to Room 7, the reason why I didn’t choose to pass in front of Room 8 and Room 9 is because I don’t know how the space there will become. In my opinion, the passage ends there. Beyond that, I could only see the woods in the middle of the night.However, Room No. 9 should be Room No. 8 ahead.My anxiety and lack of understanding may cause me to lose everything. Thinking of this, I wanted to turn around and test whether I could pass there, but I gave up immediately.Believing is everything, and I believe it now.No more doubts, no problem. Avoiding the glove balloon hanging down to chest height, I walked counterclockwise towards Room No. 7, and heard Fukushima whispering behind me: "...renovating Natsugawa Villa... but the concrete is impossible to bend That level. Even if it is made of high-strength concrete, what kind of natural disaster will make the building round?" "Well, have you ever been in construction?" "No, I majored in physics in college, so I'm a little interested." Don't search for so many superfluous theories to convince yourself, I was about to say this to him, but I kept my mouth shut.It's good for me to use Fukushima as an experimental subject.If I persuade him, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on everyone, and if I let him watch from a distance, this guy will definitely fabricate all kinds of fallacies and try to explain the problem with his own experience and common sense.But I won't let him do this... Thinking of this, I became enlightened again. The detectives below all gave up thinking because of errors in reasoning, or suffered brain damage. This is probably to prevent them from interfering with my experiment. Even if there is still a famous detective who can maintain his thinking ability, my explanation will be denied by him with other reasoning at the beginning, and the famous detective who is better at speech than me will definitely distract everyone in an instant attention.Fortunately, no one can stop me now. I'm ready.As soon as I said this sentence, everything was fine. When we came to the door of Room No. 7, Fukushima and I stopped, and I handed him the bow and gun. "Take it." Immediately afterwards, I closed the open door of Room No. 7 and kicked it open again. "Ah—" There was a scream from downstairs, it must be the tenant of this room, Daisuke Kimura who is gossip.ignore.I carried the fallen door panel to the corridor and stood it against the wall.Then he walked into the room and went to the bed, wrapped the clothes and magazines on the bed with the quilt and threw them on the floor, erected the mattress, dragged it out of the corridor, and put it on the corner of the wall.Then they found a plastic mannequin, which should have been used by Diekong Temple when they played and reasoned. "Ah—hate—you're invading my privacy!" Kimura yelled again when he saw me pulling out the mattress in the hallway. So I said to him: "Don't quarrel with Amu, come up and help me!" "Ah, even you started calling me Amu..." "Come up quickly!" Hearing this, Kimura ran up the stairs and walked counterclockwise to the door of Room No. 7. "You, go and put the plastic model in the room in front of the window of room number nine." "Ah, I wanted to take it back as a souvenir..." What is he commemorating? Kimura grumbled, but he went into Room No. 7 and took out the model very honestly.I also stood the mattress against the wall, and moved the table with the Libra ornament in the corner of the corridor to the center of the passage.Then put the dismantled door panel on the side wall of Room No. 6, and put the mattress behind the door panel.In this way, I set up a barricade across the entire corridor, and Fukushima and me standing in front of the door of Room 7 could hardly be seen from Room 6. "Fine. Now stand with your back to this one." I adjusted Fukushima's position, then turned to face the Angel Rabbits.At this time, Kimura had already entered Room 9 with the model on his back.I said to everyone: "This is the place where Saburo Mitamura died. I just let Fukushima stand on the circle drawn by the blood of Mitamura, and it is the location of the junction! Fukushima, you saw a what?" "that……" "The voice is too low." "That! I saw the door of Room 8!" "That's right!" I walked to Room No. 8 and opened the door, "So what can you see?" "Big hole in the wall of rooms 8 and 9!" "Through that hole, can you see the plastic mannequin in the window of Room Nine?" "I can't see it!" "Amu, adjust the position of the model so that you can see it from here!" "it is good!" "How about it, Fukushima, did you see it?" "I can only see Amu! Amu, go a little further to the right!" "it is good!" "Ah, it's just right now, I saw a plastic mannequin!" "Is it by the window?" "It's by the window!" "Very good, Amu, get out of there first and find a place to stand by!" "what?!" "Okay! Fukushima, launch!" "Huh?" Fukushima looked at me. "Don't worry so much, shoot with a bow and gun." "Ah, where should I call?" "Didn't you see it just now? Through the wall holes in rooms 8 and 9, shoot straight at the plastic model in room 9." "what?" "You just shoot straight ahead." "What happens if the shot misses?" "Nothing, just hit whatever you want." "...It's really enough to shoot straight out, right?" "Ok." "...Then I'm going to cum." "Very good, everyone, watch carefully!" Taking a deep breath, Fukushima pulled the trigger. The arrow was shot, and seemed to pass through the door and the hole in the wall accurately, and hit the mannequin in Room No. 9, making a loud "bang". "Oh oh oh one" followed by Kimura's excited yell. "Amu, move the plastic mannequin out of Room 9!" "receive!" As he said that, Kimura moved the model out and showed everyone the arrows pierced on it, but the Angel Rabbit members who hadn't figured out the reason just looked at it with puzzled faces, and they couldn't see how strange it was. thing, so I can't help it.What appeared in their minds now must be the trajectory of the arrow shot by Mercury C when they were playing and reasoning just now.The arrow came in through the window, passed through the window of Room 9, the hole in the wall, passed through the door of Room 8, and hit the plastic mannequin in front of the door of Room 7. This time it's the other way around.Shoot from the door of Room 7 to the window of Room 9. Shocked by the recoil of the bow gun, Fukushima regained his posture and said, "I shot right in front, right?" "Well. In a sense." "what?" "You managed to shoot the model." "Wouldn't that be nice?" "It's okay. Give me the bow and gun, I'll shoot this time." "it is good." Kimura watched me take the bow and gun, and said, "Ah, do you want to put the model back?" I said to him, "Well, sorry to trouble you." Kimura carried the plastic mannequin into Room 9 again, and I saw him through the hole in the wall. "Is it okay to put it here?" "Okay. Amu, just stand there and don't move." Fukushima, who had already stood behind me, was taken aback and said, "Wait, that's not a model but Amu. Amu, it's dangerous!" "what?" "Amu, turn around and give me a smile." "Then what, good soil..." I pull the trigger. "boom!" "Ahh——" It was Fukushima who groaned before I could stop me from pulling the trigger. "Hey, Mr. Wednesday! What the hell are you trying to do! Amu, are you okay?!" Fukushima roared angrily. He must not have heard the commotion from the members of the Angel Rabbit standing in front of the entrance. "Wow, I was scared to death...I'm fine, because I got down in time..." Before he finished speaking, I said to Kimura who was still lying on the ground and dared not show his face, "I was shocked, right. But My arrow did not fly to your side." "What, but didn't you point your bow at me just now?" "But it still didn't hit you in the end. Take a closer look at that model, is there an arrow on it?" "It seems that there is no..." "Then look at the window again, is the glass broken?" "Okay... Hey, did it hit the wall next door?... There are no other arrows in Room 9 except for the one shot by Mr. Fukushima just now..." Saying that, Kimura came out of Room 9 staggeringly, and walked to me and Fukushima. "No, no. The arrow I just shot didn't go in that direction at all." As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a hand squeeze my shoulder tightly.It is Fukushima.His usually steady voice was now mixed with anger and embarrassment. "No matter which side you shoot, it's too dangerous. How can you shoot an arrow at someone!" "I told you, I didn't shoot an arrow at anyone." I opened Fukushima's hand from my shoulder, "How could I do such a thing without common sense? It's just in your opinion Just shoot at people. Look, my arrow didn’t go into Room 8, did it?” After hearing what I said, Fukushima also probed into Room 8 to look for it. "Why... Hey, where did the arrow you shot just now go?" "Over there, look at those gloves." I said, "Aren't the gloves I hung in front of the door of Room 10 worn out now?" Fukushima turned his gaze to the corridor diagonally opposite.Kimura also looked over. "Ah, really. Huh? But that direction is completely different from the direction you aimed at just now..." But the arrow still flew straight past. I said again: "Not just in front of the door of Room 10, but look at the balloon in front of the door of Room 1." Fukushima turned his face to the other side of the corridor across the hall.There was also a torn rubber glove hanging there. "Ah, what's going on? That's broken too..." "What happened..." Kimura also widened his eyes. "How..." he muttered to himself. "The same goes for the balloon in front of Room 4." Fukushima and Kimura stuck their bodies on the handrail together, and looked at the door of Room 4 on the back of the barricade. "What? It's a lie..." They said in unison. "It's really broken..." "I'm not deceiving, but the space you see now is deceiving. If you don't believe me, look, the arrow I shot actually hit here." Saying that, I patted Fukushima on the shoulder to make him turn around.Then I showed him the back of the door panel that I had just used as a barricade.Arrows had drilled through the mattress and the door panels. "The arrow I just shot passed through the door of Room No. 7, passed through No. 10, No. 1 and No. 4, and returned here, straight." Both Fukushima and Kimura were speechless. "Late last night, Saburo Mitamura shot an arrow here and shot himself in the back, completing his suicide plan." Although Fukushima and Kimura no longer need explanations, and most of the angel rabbit group standing in front of the entrance no longer need explanations, but there are still five people who can't see the truth, so I went back to the whiteboard and started drawing pictures to explain (see Figure 40). "This is a real straight line. And this is the 'straight line' centered in the pineapple. Because the pineapple house distorts the space, the arrows shot from it will also be straight and distorted." By the way, Fukushima and Kimura were thrown out by the "law of inertia" of the illusion in front of the door of Room No. 7 at the same time, and the two brothers rolled down in Room No. 7 happily. Luckily I just removed the door panel. According to that momentum, if the two of them fell on the door panel, they would rebound and hit the handrail, or they might fall down and both of them would be sent to the hospital.
