I heard that I’m super fierce - Chapter 51

As soon as he held the weapon, SMILE appeared to be in a good mood.
Most of the flecks on the axe were from the wooden door when he chopped it. He bent down, wiped it carefully on the carpet, and looked at the newly acquired axe with satisfaction after wiping it clean. He laughed and straightened up and looked at the man outside the door.
His tongue licked the corners of his mouth, and the “SMILE” virus that infected him made his face stretched with blue veins. His eyes were drawn into thin slits, leaving only the whites of his eyes.
He looked more like a lunatic than everyone else.
Tsuchiya, who was going crazy, was called back to his senses. He never expected that his sharp axe would in turn hit him. With his legs weakened, he sat slumped against the wall, and an awful cry came from his throat.
He watched SMILE lift his foot and kick open the door.
The positions of the two parties were completely reversed. The palm of the person who chased her first touched the ground, and he wanted to run. But before he even had time to roll over, the back of his neck was hit hard.
With a muffled hum, his eyes went black and he passed out.
“I think……”
SMILE, who was naturally violent, was obviously dissatisfied that he just swiped the handle of the axe and couldn’t take the knocked out guy in front of him alive. He muttered, “Kill…”
“No.” Lin You turned him down, “We have to keep this person—right, tear down this door.”
SMILE had no choice but to grind his teeth and gloomily went to chop the door.
They were newcomers to this town, and if the innkeeper suddenly disappeared, they would definitely be the first suspects.
Moreover, being bewildered by Tomie didn’t mean that he can’t communicate. He was still conscious if he wanted to run away. In any case, they can get some information about the family from him.
“Do you want a rope?”
A familiar voice asked nearby.
Before she finished speaking, Lin You only felt that she could see a shadow in her surroundings, and she raised her hand to take it without thinking.
It was just a piece of ordinary twine, which was similar to the one they used at the well, but a bit shorter. It was easy to tie a bundle and it was easy to untie it.
“Hey,” she raised her eyebrows. “Did you change?”
It was Gu Heng who came over.
He wasn’t acting surprised anymore—just like Lu Zhenjie. Although the latter was a little bit aware of her abilities, he still looked a little nervous when he saw new ghosts.
With Gu Heng’s current performance, it seemed that he had already seen SMILE. The latter was also the first “guest” to appear at Kisaragi Station, and he didn’t even intend to hide anything like this.
“I saw everything.”
He smiled and said: “Everyone can change the default appearance like it’s nothing.”
Don’t say it.
Lin You cursed silently.
Yesterday it was exactly this way in the living room.
“I changed my name to ‘Gu Heng’ this time—do you change your name for each instance?”
“It’s really bad. I use my real name this time but it hurts.”
“Xu Yan”—no, Gu Heng, took out his ID and flashed it in front of her. It was clearly registered with those two words.
“Box” is a complete real-name game. Although it is not necessary to tell teammates your real name, the certificates and information involved, and even in the NPC’s perception, are all the player’s name by default.
“But that’s right,” he said, “I usually change the name for each new instance.”
Lin You: “…”
No, it’s okay to use a pseudonym with your teammates. Why do you change so often?
“Professional restrictions.”
Facing her confused gaze, the other party said “Ah” and understood those two words.
Lin You: “Then your face and voice?”
She remembered that the system gave each player a certain right to modify their appearance, but the restrictions were not small. For him, his changes were the equivalent of changing the entire head each instance.
And the voice…
It was similar to Kisaragi Station but different to some extent. This cannot be changed.
“It has nothing to do with that function,” Gu Heng replied, “It’s my ability.”
“One of them.” He added.
This sounds interesting.
But Lin You didn’t really care about his career and seeing his understatement, he didn’t continue to ask.
After all, she was a little skeptical last time because there was a traitor, and of course, she was a little warier of those who have suspicious identities. In addition, this person appeared to be hiding some important information, but of the six body parts, it can be said that two and a half were found by him.
She asked Li Jing about it because she thought it would be difficult to deal with in the future.
Now that she got it straight, she would look out for the changes.
SMILE removed the door panel that had a huge gap cut in it and turned over the guy who was lying on the ground. He lingered for a while, stared at Lin You, and when he saw that there was really no possibility of doing it, he disappeared with no interest.
Lin You placed his hands behind his back and tied it a few times with the rope that Gu Heng threw to her.
There were chaotic footsteps in the corridor, and Jian Mingjia and the others ran over breathlessly.
Seeing that it was all right here, they finally relaxed.
“Huh?”
Jian Mingjia was a little surprised to see Gu Heng, who had just disappeared behind them, and arrived earlier than them, “How did you—?”
“I got down early,” the latter said. “Sorry, I didn’t tell you anything—I guess I will find a piece of rope when I need it.”
Jian Mingjia glanced at Lin You, but when she saw her eyes, she didn’t ask.
“He’s not dead?” Lu Zhenjie cared more about another thing at this time. He repeatedly confirmed, “Did he pass out?”
At this moment, his actions were different from that of gentleness, and he dragged him towards the corner by the boss’s collar. With his hands tied back, Tsuchiya was forced to sit down, his head drooping to one side.
Lin You grunted.
It was because she asked SMILE to stop, or else he would have his neck broken in one fell swoop.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Geng Qinghe squatted to the side and watched.
“It feels…still not very safe,” he muttered.
With that said, he simply did it himself and tied the rest of the feet with the rope.
“Okay,” Jian Mingjia twitched her mouth. “Now he can’t escape and can’t even move his fingers.”
“—Ah, yes.”
She stared at the murderer who dismembered the body and spoke.
“We found the girl’s body.”
*
The body parts were stacked in a room on the second floor.
The hotel owner who was knocked unconscious should have dragged “his niece” to the room in that corridor. Only after cutting off an arm, he found that the corpse was not as easy to drag as he thought. He then changed his mind and moved to the second floor to deal with it slowly.
The bones and muscles of the human body are tougher than many murderers imagine. Among them, many of them give up dismemberment because of the difficulty. But Tomie had such a magical power that made people feel that killing her is not enough; that she must be completely dismembered until they are satisfied.
“Help……”
Walking up the stairs, they heard a faint cry for help, “Help…”
Jian Mingjia: “…What is this sound? I don’t remember hearing it just now.”
Lin You only remembered that she hadn’t told them yet.
“Tomie.” She said, “The girl’s true identity is Kawakami Tomie. I heard him call her name.”
Geng Qinghe: “Tom—”
His face looked brilliant for a while.
They had already walked to the messy room with severed limbs, only to hear the soft female voice pleading.
“Help…please help me.”
Lin You was the first to push the door and walk in.
The walls and the floor were full of big pools of blood.
In a half-dried pool of blood was a pile of chopped stumps, and in the middle, the girl’s head was looking at them pitifully.
Geng Qinghe’s head was full of pictures of the regenerated Tomies from the chopped up body parts, and he was relieved to see that the head was talking—he slapped himself in his head the next second, how was this normal?!
However, even in such a bloody scene, it was just a head, and it did not detract from Tomie’s beauty. Instead, there was a cruel beauty.
“I was locked in here by him.”
The “him” was certainly referring to the owner of this hotel.
“He didn’t let me go anywhere,” she cried, “And made me pretend to be his niece to trap me. I couldn’t stand it anymore, and I tried to find a way to leave, but I wasn’t careful and he found out, and now it’s like this .”
—If anyone still believed Tomie they were not far from madness.
“You want us to help you, so how can we help?” Lin You asked.
Tomie’s eyes lit up.
“Burn them!”
She yelled, “Burn all these hands, feet, and blood-stained things! Don’t let the other fakes appear!”
“Do you want to listen to her?” Jian Mingjia whispered.
“Let’s do it, it won’t hurt either way.” She wanted to do that anyway, Lin You thought, “The head can stay here and see the situation.”
It wasn’t easy to deal with so many Tomies.
They started right away. Who knew if there would be regenerations if it was delayed. The five of them cleaned up the room very quickly.
However, when they put all the stumps and blood-stained carpets into the sack that was turned over in the hotel warehouse, Tomie had not concealed her aggressive character at all.
“You guys—” she said, “I’m hungry.”
“I want to eat duck liver paste and caviar! Besides those two I want the best—”
“No.”
Lin You answered succinctly and closed the door.
Tomie: “…”
This guy—!!
“These,” she closed the door, then turned her head and said, “wooden doors of the rooms downstairs—I let SMILE unload it in advance—and the carpet will be burned together, the sooner the better.”
“There is also the living room.”
Gu Heng added: “Furthermore, the floor was wiped and the wallpaper was cut off where it was dragged in the corridor.”
Compared with the relatively easy-to-clean amputated limb, that was a lot harder.
Not to mention……
“Why are you missing a finger?”
Jian Mingjia complained: “If this runs away, it will cause a lot of trouble.”
“It’s getting dark,” Lu Zhenjie scratched his head. “Because it’s harder for people to pay attention now, let’s deal with it quickly.”
As a result of the final negotiation, the three of them first went to a mountain forest not far away to light up these hidden dangers. Lin You and Jian Mingjia stayed in the hotel to clean up the traces of slower regeneration.
This task was quite time-consuming.
After cleaning the carpet and removing the blood-stained wallpaper, she and Jian Mingjia were piled up next to the stairs. She wiped the sweat and went up to the second floor again—the cleanup was almost done, but there was another problem. They couldn’t find the finger.
It was a little wishful thinking to find it in the huge hotel alone.
An hour and a half passed.
Lin You opened the picture book, and the cool-down time with the randomly drawn cards arrived, so she would have another helper.
—She was lucky.
What she was looking for was a helper, but two people unexpectedly came.
“Tell me,” Meiji twiddled her hair, “Why did you call us?”
“I don’t have enough manpower, can I ask you for a favor?”
Lin You motioned her to look at the things piled up at her feet, “Look, this hotel has just had a homicide, and the victim is a bit special…Her physical form can be divided continuously. We can’t find one of the fingers. Can you try it together?”
“Yes, yes, Meizi is very sensitive to the smell of blood—”
Meiji answered and turned her head.
“…Huh, where’s Meizi?”
The Red Person had already slipped away from them.
She wandered aimlessly in the corridor, twisting the doorknobs of the door one by one until she went into the one that was unlocked.
She saw a head on the table.
“You came just in time.”
Tomie wasn’t in a good mood.
“This table is so hard, it’s so uncomfortable. You can move me to a cleaner place and get a soft cushion.” She saw the doll in the arms of the Red Person, “Oh, forget about that dirty rabbit.”
Hearing the second half of the sentence, the Red Person stared at Tomie fixedly.
She walked towards that head step by step.
“Hey, hey!” Tomie frowned, “Did you hear me? Get me a cushion!”
The Red Person didn’t hear her at all.
She bent her knees, jumped hard, and got on the table, tiptoeing beside Tomie’s head to reach the lamp above.
“What are you doing?!”
Tomie screamed: “You kid—”
She did not have time to finish.
A large, round light bulb that had just been removed from the lamp was stuffed in her mouth.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
