Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 329: Death of the Dog-Headed Man

After these words were spoken, Catwoman also reacted.

The rules don't say you can't pair up with a dead person.

She slapped the table and howled loudly, urging the dog-headed man to insert the card quickly. The latter lowered his head, took out the card from his pocket, and slowly found the card "Cat", and inserted it into the card slot at the last two seconds.

Catwoman felt relieved, and then she realized what was happening. She turned around and asked Yuan Yuzi, "Why don't you pair up with a dead person?!"

Gen Yuzi was choked for a moment. She didn't have time to think too much. It was almost an instinctive reaction. She subconsciously chose Fushimi-kun... No matter what, she didn't want to see Fushimi-kun die in front of her.

Before she could explain, the radio sounded again, announcing the pairing results:
"The countdown is over."

"A successful match: rabbit and dog."

"Eliminator: Cat."

"Countdown to execution: thirty seconds."

"Please nominate another participant to play the game of 'elimination'. If no one is nominated, the game will not be played."

……

There was dead silence in the room.

Yuan Yuzi murmured in a low voice: "How can this be...If the pairing cannot be repeated, then what is the point of issuing cards?"

"Maybe the designers assumed that eliminated people would not participate in the pairing." The dog-headed man said lightly.

Catwoman's hood made a beeping sound, and she came back to her senses. She clutched the hood with both hands, stepped back, and fell to the ground in horror: "No... don't... I don't want to die..."

Seeing this scene, Yuan Yuzi didn't even dare to open her mouth to comfort her. The intense fear and guilt almost overwhelmed her - for a moment, she even forgot how to breathe, and her heart ached.

If Catwoman chose her to play Candy Crush, she would feel it was a relief.

……

"Didn't you say you could pair up with a dead person?! You lied to me! You are all liars!"

"I, I don't want to die... Is there any other way..."

"Speak up! Speak up! Weren't you very talkative just now?!"

"Where's the secret door? I want to go out——"

……

The ticking sound became more and more rapid. After experiencing panic, luck, and pleading, Catwoman fell into deep despair.

She sat in the corner like a lifeless doll, silent for a few seconds.

Before the execution, with the countdown lasting ten seconds, she used all her strength and said almost like a curse: "I want you to watch him die..."

"What?" Yuan Yuzi was stunned. She had a bad feeling.

"You like this guy very much, right? You two are a couple, right? I can see that..."

Catwoman gnashed her teeth and sucked blood, saying word by word: "I choose the dog-headed man to eliminate, eliminate, and have fun!"

……

Yuan Yuzi opened her mouth, and the word "no" was stuck in her throat. Before she could make a sound, the dripping sound became a series, accompanied by a "beep", and Catwoman's head suddenly exploded. A column of blood rushed straight to the ceiling, and an inverted triangle was smeared all over the corners of the wall.

The dog-headed man reacted quickly. He jumped up from the chair and tried to dodge the steel pillar, but unexpectedly, a ticking sound was heard from his hood.

He turned his head and looked into Yuan Yuzi's eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.

--Snapped!

The sound of flesh and blood exploding was heard, and pieces of skull and hood flew everywhere.

The headless corpse swayed in place, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

There was a buzzing in Yuan Yuzi's ears and her brain was shut down. She stood there, and the cards in her hand fell one by one.

Fushimi-kun...

do you died?
Died in front of her...

Just like Kawai back then...

Perhaps this was a punishment from heaven for her...

But what did she do wrong?

Why did the people she loved leave her?
……

Before she could come to her senses, the radio sounded again:

"The second round of pairing is over. Participants, please take back your pairing cards."

"The third round of pairing is about to begin, five minutes left..."

"Timing begins."

There was a crisp sound from the drawer of the wooden table, and the cards that had just been put in popped out again.

"Why... is this happening..." Yuan Yuzi fell into a chair, hugged her knees with both hands, and curled up her body: "This is so abominable..."

Now, she is the only participant left.

If she cannot match with the deceased, she will be killed by a headshot after five minutes.

This trial was like dominoes. When the first person used the game, unnecessary hatred had already been planted in everyone's heart - they were just like the blocks in the game, with a slight stroke, they were all destroyed in the blink of an eye.

No one survived.

……

……

Time goes back ten minutes.

On the ceiling, the camera hidden in the chandelier was turning silently. The lens captured the image, which was transmitted along the circuit until it appeared on the black and white TV.

Dozens of viewers sat in front of the TV, wearing suits and full-face masks, and whispered to their companions:

"I heard she's the daughter of the Kujo family..."

"What a grandiose move, but I want to see Kujo Yui more..."

"The leader might be able to get it..."

The dealer stood next to the TV, holding a wooden tray and collecting chips.

After the betting was completed, the dealer pressed the remote control and the radio sounded, announcing that the content of this trial was "Connect the Dots".

There were two televisions on the table, and the audience once again whispered to each other:
"Ah, I know that, it's really interesting..."

"Eh? So you've seen this before? How is this game..."

"It would be pointless to spoil the plot..."

"It's okay," the woman wearing the Ruonv mask said softly, "I really want to know, don't keep me in suspense."

The man wearing the Yasha mask took a quick glance and saw the woman next to him had a curvy figure, a long neck, and a perfect body proportion. Just looking at her figure, she looked like a beauty. His heart moved slightly, and his pride as a man was aroused: "Hiss...should I tell you..."

"Just say it." Ruonv pleaded.

“I really can’t do anything about you,” Yasha said in a somewhat ostentatious tone, “From the perspective of the participants, there are only five people in this trial, but in reality…”

As he spoke, he pointed at the TV and said, "There are ten people, but they are divided into two rooms."

The two TV screens were monitoring the images in the two rooms respectively.

The participants were divided into cats, dogs, pigs, cows, and rabbits, and were paired up in pairs. Although they all wore masks, there were slight differences in their body shapes and clothing - Minamoto Tamako was in the room on the left, and Fushimi Kaka was in the room on the right.

“Generally speaking, the subjects of “Connect the Dots” are a couple.”

Yasha continued, "Two believers will be responsible for playing them, imitating the participants in the other room through headsets... They are either terminally ill or have undergone 'professional training' and will never reveal their flaws easily."

"They used masks to confuse identities, and then used the cards' names of 'cat,' 'dog,' 'pig,' 'cow,' and 'rabbit' to categorize participants... If there were only five people, there would be no need for code names like 'cat, dog, pig, cow, rabbit'. Wouldn't it be enough to just use their names?"

"The reason why we distributed the cards and asked the participants to match up through the cards was actually to conceal something..."

“Participants in both rooms can also be paired with each other.”

"However, in order to balance the difficulty, the trial gave a hint at the beginning: each participant can receive five cards, which means that participants can pair up with others of the same kind."

"For example, rabbits with rabbits, cats with cats, dogs with dogs... similar things cancel each other out. This is the correct way to play connect-the-dots!"

"If we are lucky, everyone can survive this trial. If we are unlucky, it is not uncommon for everyone to die... It all depends on when the participants can discover that there is another room and five other participants."

When Yasha said this, the trial on TV was almost over.

"It looks like the daughter of the Kujo family can't hold on any longer and seems to have given up." He sighed, saying that he was unlucky and had bet on the wrong person.

After saying that, he turned to look at another TV screen and was stunned: "What is this guy...doing?"

All I saw was a huge dog's head occupying the black and white screen.

The blood-stained hair dyed the lens red. The hood kept twisting, as if adjusting its posture. The man inserted the camera into the holes for the eyes of the hood.

In the dim light, everyone could vaguely see a pair of ferocious pupils looking down at the camera.

"Finally found……"

A hoarse voice sounded, and the speaker's throat seemed to be strangled, and he spoke with difficulty.

Immediately afterwards, a hissing sound of metal friction was heard.

The dealer realized something, his face changed slightly, and he quickly picked up the intercom and said quickly: "Send someone to room 9 quickly, the participant is using the camera lens reflection to pry the lock on the hood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp click.

Under the gaze of everyone, Fushimi Shika's face hidden in the darkness suddenly disappeared.

The camera lens was aimed at the end of the hood and could only capture the ceiling dripping with blood.
