Chapter 129 Rokkasho Invitation Obtained_3
"The second type of monsters on the island are of a lower level, like the three-handed ones I saw not long ago. They can't conceal themselves; they can only modify my perception through mental invasion."
"I must reject the second type of monsters, but contain the first type. Because bullets can't kill monsters that aren't in a concealed state, they can only kill monsters disguised as humans."
"So, the owner of that house might be a mage... responsible for the second type of monsters, those that can't stealthily hide."
"In other words, there might still be four guests here..."
"I currently have three bullets, enough to deter three people, but if my bullets run low and the number of people in the house increases... then without a doubt, my position will be quite passive."
"I still don't know the 'specific conditions' for the gourmand, the doctor, the vagabond, and the deliveryman. Firing a shot now... might not be wise."
Wen Xishu's mind was racing at eight hundred thoughts per second.
Now he thought of a third plan.
"Is there a way to clear this unscathed and without consuming tools?"
The love-struck Mariko in the house... no, more accurately, the brainwashed Mariko, had no idea that Wen Xishu was mentally battling with Takahashi Fumihiko.
Rokkasho were anxious about how to tame Fumihiko and make him his dog.
At this moment, no one was knocking outside the house either.
Takahashi Fumihiko was greatly enjoying this final moment of peace.
"There's not much time left until my natural concealment ends. All I have to do now is continue pretending to be innocent... and these fools won't notice a thing."
"I am the smartest one. Heh heh, I will kill all of you! As long as I first devour the homeowner and complete my evolution, I can consume all of you."
With the emergence of the latest rule that stipulated "specific conditions must be met to leave," Takahashi Fumihiko believed his thinking was the most thorough.
He had already guessed the "conditions" for Mariko and half of Rokkasho. He also believed that the house's owner, Wen Xishu, would never figure this out.
So he was now confident of his victory; it was the most perfect situation he could hope for.
But just at that moment, Wen Xishu said:
"By the way, I have an announcement to make."
The silence was broken by Wen Xishu's words.
Wen Xishu looked at Takahashi Fumihiko, and the smile on his face made Fumihiko deeply despise him.
Since he was very young, Takahashi Fumihiko had shown a remarkable talent for learning. At that time, when he saw his teacher smile at him like that, he would think...
"Stupid thing, yet looking at me with such a profound smile, what a joke. Sooner or later, I'll kill your cat and cook it."
Later, Takahashi Fumihiko indeed did that, and no one ever knew it was him who did it.
Wen Xishu said:
"The four of us are all human, no doubt about it... but this is based on one point of my judgment, a point of logic that I can't reveal to you."
"But so far, this logic is undoubtedly correct."
"Do you all agree?"
Of course, no one would disagree, especially not Takahashi Fumihiko. At this moment, Fumihiko didn't want anyone to come and steal his cooked duck.
"Agree, we are certainly all human, your judgment is undeniably correct," Takahashi Fumihiko said humbly.
Mariko and half of Rokkasho didn't understand what was going on; they just thought, is this necessary? It's been emphasized so many times, yet still needs reinforcement?
But both of them nodded.
They couldn't find the logical bug right now and could only choose to leave using the second "specific condition."
Mariko didn't care what Wen Xishu said, she only cared about how to seduce Wen Xishu into sleeping with her. Unfortunately, she wasn't very smart, so she could only use her charm.
As for Rokkasho, he was solely focused on taming a dog.
Wen Xishu said:
"I appreciate everyone recognizing my logic, but humans, too, can make judgment errors. Sometimes one mistake can lead to a total loss."
"I hope my logic is as rigorous as mathematics, and I absolutely believe that you all are human. After all, I can't find any flaws in my logic."
"But what if, due to my shallow knowledge... I saw it wrong, which means I got everything wrong. Suppose..."
Takahashi Fumihiko kept nodding, but suddenly, he felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Wen Xishu's next twist made him gape in disbelief.
"Suppose, one of us has turned into a monster, that means I saw it all wrong, which means that all of us are actually monsters."
"Agree?"
Wen Xishu pulled out a gun. This was the correct way to use it; of course, you can disagree, but the price of disagreement is taking a bullet.
Holding the truth in hand, how could anyone disagree?
Mariko and half of Rokkasho had no clue this was a "seal." This was Wen Xishu's attempt to silence Takahashi Fumihiko from transforming.
Mariko said, "No problem, of course, there's no problem."
Half of Rokkasho also said, "You can't be wrong. We do as you say."
Wen Xishu turned to Takahashi Fumihiko, aiming the gun at him:
"And you? Tetsuya, you must think it's reasonable, right? After all, logically, if I'm wrong and one is a monster, then my logic about the other two not being monsters doesn't hold, does it?"
Of course, it's right.
Takahashi Fumihiko could only nod.
