Chapter 2177 Investigation
In the chapel, people who have no hope of escape are depressed and unhappy here, and may collapse at any time and become one of the lunatics. When Detective Xiaochun and the hole-opening killer came to the chapel, they saw only despair and mystery.
The statue of the dead girl, the many murderers who were trapped in fear and could not escape, and the citizens outside the church who kept sending hospitable eyes, the fishy oil lamps, and the dim light. All these made the atmosphere depressing and heavy. In this environment, death may be the best relief.
However, death is also a luxury. Only by finding out the truth of the world can we leave this nightmare.
"You are new here. What crime have you committed?" A relatively rational thin man came over to chat.
"Are you also a criminal?" Detective Xiaochun asked back.
This thin man looks very honest and is not a bad person.
"I just killed a few people." The small man was arrogant, but he was also very lonely after he finished speaking: "It's a pity that evil will be punished, and I can't escape this nightmare in the end. Who would have thought that the nightmare would fall on me one day? I have died five times in Yanan City. I feel that I will go crazy if I die twice more."
"What is going on here?" Xiaochun continued to ask.
"I don't know, maybe this is another dream of a superpower."
Such an exaggeration, there are superpowers? !
"You don't know? Don't you kill people in dreams first, and then kill people in reality?" The thin man said that all the criminals before were like this, is there an exception?
"Can you tell me in detail?"
"This matter started three or four years ago. At that time, there was an urban legend that after entering a dream, you can come to a place without rules and abuse the victim at will. I didn't take it seriously at first, but this dream does exist. I entered the dream, and a man named John Walker told us that all this was an illusion and we could do whatever we wanted." "At first I didn't believe it, but watching them kill people again and again, I also began to participate. In the dream, no matter what we did, the victim could be resurrected, so our methods became more and more brutal and tricky. Repeatedly killing the same person again and again, and even began to look forward to entering the dream earlier, we all liked the feeling of being unrestrained, as if the shackles were opened and sublimated." The little man has not forgotten the feeling of transcendence and still misses it. It can be seen that he has never repented, but now he is trapped in Yharnam City, no longer a perpetrator but a victim. The monsters' methods are more sensational and more incredible. The torture they inflicted on the victims is now doubled.
"Then you started killing people in reality?!" Although I don't believe in superpowers, there are so many weird things that I have to question it. But this can indeed explain why there are so many evil killers. If they were all instigated by John Walker in dreams and started training in dreams, and then they would take action in reality, then everything makes sense.
"Yes, because the dream feels too real, you should be able to feel it now, the monster outside is obviously a dream, but you are still afraid. At that time, we all knew that it was a dream, but we felt extremely happy. At the same time, once we thought that all this was just a dream, some people would say why not commit crimes in reality, maybe it would be more interesting and happier to complete the case in reality." "So some people started to take action in reality. At the beginning, those who took action were those rich and powerful people. They had better conditions and greater pursuits. Ordinary people like me in reality have no advantages at all, but in the end I finally couldn't help wanting to try it, only to find that the police in reality are really too incompetent. They can't catch me at all." He was still complacent when he said this.
"It's a pity that you can't escape punishment. It's obvious that someone in Yanan City is punishing evil and promoting good." Xiaochun said fiercely. Although he didn't want to admit it, the incompetence of the police was a reality. Facing these killers, they could only rely on the investigation organized by Cang, which made people helpless.
"Yes, evil people will be punished. I have seen two people become monsters. I am afraid that their bodies are already dead in reality. This is the fate of bad people like us. We will not be at peace after death. We have to continue to hunt down other killers." The little man said helplessly with a bitter smile: "I heard you say that there is a problem with this statue?" He didn't talk for no reason, he wanted to leave.
"Yes, this statue is a girl who has been dead for two years."
"Is this world really a hell made up of victims?" The little man suddenly rushed out, holding a big knife in his hand and slashing at the statue.
Sure enough, he was a ruthless person, who attacked the statue in order to leave.
However, this is Yanan City, and evil can only accept punishment and cannot resist.
Boom, the big knife broke, and the little man didn't even have time to scream. Half of his body had been melted, which was horrible.
This is a dream, so everything is possible. Although it is a dream, there is the most realistic pain feedback in Yharnam City. This person died of pain.
The statue is intact, but the energy released in an instant can melt a person, which shows that the power of the statue is very strong.
"Stupid." Kaidong said that this person is too stupid. How can such a city make it so easy for people to find flaws? But now it is confirmed that the statue is indeed a god-like existence in Yharnam City.
"Although I don't know if what he said is true, the information about the superpower must be sent out." Xiaochun said: "It seems that we really have to crack the secret of the city. God, if you really have a spirit, you should bless us to enter Yharnam City and successfully find the truth."
The statue stood quietly on the side without making a sound.
The truth will not be handed over, you have to pass the game.
"Ah!" A madman saw the half-melted little man, and the whole person rushed out of the chapel crazily, and immediately welcomed the enthusiastic citizens to watch, and the madman died soon.
However, a faint human figure appeared in front of the bonfire of the chapel. The figure became brighter and more specific, and finally restored to human form. The people killed by the monster were resurrected and resurrected in front of the church bonfire.
"Why are you alive again?! No!" A serial killer actually cried and hugged his head. It can be seen that the experience of Yharnam City has exceeded the tolerance of anyone. Death again and again, hopeless struggle, and increasingly uncontrolled reason, in the end, people are just walking corpses.
"Why didn't you die?!" Everything that happened here cannot be understood by common sense. It is too painful. Surviving is just to accept the pain of the next death, and it is a different way of death, a different pain, and there is no way out.
Every day like this makes you despair, and even every minute is a torment, so it is only a matter of time before you become a madman. Of course, it is not good to become a monster. Becoming a monster is just the lowest level monster, and you will only be killed by people, and there is no way out.
In short, there is no hope for being a human, and the same is true for being a monster. If you knew it would be like this, why did you do it in the first place? However, there is no regret medicine in Yanan City, and all sinners can only accept the arrangement helplessly.
