"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 ntal 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 ntally battling with Takahashi Fumihiko.
Rokkasho were anxious about how to ta Fumihiko and make him his dog.
At this mont, no one was knocking outside the house either.
Takahashi Fumihiko was greatly enjoying this final mont of peace.
"There’s not much ti left until my natural concealnt 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 hoowner and complete my evolution, I can consu all of you."
With the ergence of the latest rule that stipulated "specific conditions must be t 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 mont, Wen Xishu said:
"By the way, I have an announcent 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 ti, when he saw his teacher smile at him like that, he would think...
"Stupid thing, yet looking at 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 judgnt, 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 mont, Fumihiko didn’t want anyone to co and steal his cooked duck.
"Agree, we are certainly all human, your judgnt 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 tis, yet still needs reinforcent?
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 judgnt errors. Sotis 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 ans I got everything wrong. Suppose..."
Takahashi Fumihiko kept nodding, but suddenly, he felt sothing was wrong.
Sure enough, Wen Xishu’s next twist made him gape in disbelief.
"Suppose, one of us has turned into a monster, that ans I saw it all wrong, which ans 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 disagreent 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.
