Chapter 17 In Okinawa (2)

  Death is so close!

  For the first time, Jerry felt a fear of death from Carlos Coywolf's eyes.

  Whether it was before his rebirth or now, for the first time, Jerry saw the Death God licking a scythe and giving him a rotten smile!

  This is a breath that crawled out of a pile of dead men!

  It was just a moment's time before Jerry felt his whole body go cold, numbness spreading through him, and the words stuck in his throat.

  "Let him go, Carlos! I told you to let him go, did you hear me?!"

  Carlos glared at Jerry for a long time, then sheathed his sword and grabbed Jerry's body, tossing him into the "prison cell" with one swing of his arm.

  The door slammed shut again!

  Jerry collapsed to the ground, motionless, and the near-death feeling drained all his strength. He thought that after experiencing rebirth, threats to his life would no longer be a problem, but the deathly aura emanating from Carlos's wolf-like body instantly knocked him out!

  It's an indescribable feeling!

  Outside the door, the sound of a fierce argument between Mei and Carlos could be heard, but after a long time, everything finally subsided.

  Jerry stretched out his long-closed body, barely shaking off the feeling of death. He opened his mouth and a strange smile burst forth on his face, accompanied by an eerie laugh that came from his lips.

  A laugh of madness after surviving a disaster!

  "Damn it! This son of a bitch!"

  He suddenly jumped up, grabbed the Asahi Shimbun on the floor, twisted it into a strip with force, and slammed it fiercely onto the quilt.

  It wasn't until much later that Jerry's mood finally began to calm down.

  Need a bodyguard, yes, need a bodyguard!

  But when his eyes fell on that crumpled Asahi Shimbun newspaper, Jerry's mood brightened up again!

  Those were two obituaries.

  "...Kiyohara Kinnosuke died in a car accident..."

  "... Ichiro Sagawa died in a car accident..."

  Tsutomu Miyazaki, born in 1962, suffered from congenital bilateral radius and ulna bone fusion, dissociative identity disorder with multiple personalities. Between 1987 and 1989, he was a Japanese serial killer who targeted young girls, photographing them after each murder, using details inspired by horror movie plots. The Miyazaki serial murder case turned the government's and public opinion's attention to Japanese horror movies, causing a huge impact on film, anime, and other media! It wasn't until 1997 that Japan's B-rated horror movies began to recover.

  Issei Sagawa, a notorious Japanese cannibal. In 1981, Issei Sagawa, who was studying at the Sorbonne in Paris, shot and killed his Dutch classmate Renée Hartevelt, then ate parts of her body! His perverted behavior is shocking, but after the incident, he was released "not guilty" under the protection of his wealthy father (pretending to be mentally ill!). He even published a book about cannibalism, participated in food shows, and remains at large to this day! The director Smolders once recreated the Issei Sagawa case in the form of a pseudo-documentary, which won the Golden Award at the 1987 Brussels International Short Film Festival.

  These two guys actually died from this chain car accident, Jerry couldn't help but burst out laughing!

  It seems that life is still very beautiful!

  For three consecutive days, Carlos and Heavy's argument in May never stopped. Poor Jerry could only get water and food, but he couldn't drink milk freely anymore! This made him feel very depressed. Every time when he shouted "I'm still young, I'm growing up, I need nutrition, milk, give me milk!", Carlos' deputy would put on a cold face, then slam the door shut with a bang!

  Alright, maybe gnawing on a cold bun is also a good choice, at least he won't starve to death!

  This situation continued until a week later, when a woman in all black walked into this house!

  The door is finally open!

  "Hey, Miss May, it doesn't seem like lunchtime yet!"

  Jerry's eyes dodged Carlos a bit, a gentleman does not fight with a barbaric cow, this is Jerry's self-comfort! He was indeed a little afraid!

  "Yes, it's not lunchtime, but I've locked you up for a week, it's time to let you out and get some fresh air! This is my mother, Mrs. Heavy-Duty House!"

  This woman in black, with a cigarette tucked between her lips and wearing glasses, is actually the leader of the Red Army? Why isn't she staying in Lebanon, what's she doing running to Japan? Is she deliberately walking into a trap?

  "Oh, hello, Mrs. House, I'm Jerry, Jerry Genghis Khan Roschelle."

  Shige didn't say a word, just puffed out his cheeks and stared quietly at Jerry.

  "Hey, Mrs. House! Don't you know that's very rude? Have you been in the Middle East for so long that you've even forgotten the most basic Japanese etiquette?"

  Nobuko finally smiled a little, but she didn't answer Jerry's question. "I heard you have some interesting ideas!"

  "Interesting idea? Is Mrs. House referring to what I previously told Miss May?"

  Shigefusa nodded his head slightly.

  Jerry glanced cautiously at Carlos.

  "Don't worry, Carlos won't hurt you! He's my friend!"

  "I need your guarantee, Mrs. House! You have to know that it was because of those interesting ideas you mentioned earlier that I almost died at his hands! I'm only eight years old, my brilliant life has just begun, and I don't want to die at the hands of this notorious terrorist just because I moved my lips!"

  "I promise you!"

  "Also, can you put out that cigarette in your hand? Although it's a lady's, the smell is still very irritating!"

  Zhongxin pressed the cigarette into the ashtray as he had said!

  "Give me another glass of milk!"

  After saying this, Chong Xin glared at him first in May!

  "Alright, this is the last request, Miss May, remember to heat it up for me ~ I need it warm! So, Mrs. House, where were we just now?"

  "What an interesting idea!"

  "Really, interesting idea! Before repeating this interesting idea, can I ask a question?"

  Shigefusa nodded his head slightly.

  "You came all the way from the Middle East to Japan just to hear these interesting ideas?"

  Shige's house laughed and said, "Jerry, you seem to think highly of yourself?"

  Jerry let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "Fortunately not! So let's continue the topic we were just discussing, interesting ideas. Hmm, Mrs. House, I think you should actually give up those so-called independent terrorist acts! That's something only stupid savages would do!"

  The brilliant career of the first half of her life was negated by a single sentence from an eight-year-old kid, which made Zhong Xin's house very uncomfortable. Even with her good upbringing, her face changed color!

  However, Jerry seemed not to notice and took a sip of milk from his cup.

  "Times are progressing, civilization is also progressing! But the Red Army still uses primitive violence! Mrs. Fang, don't refute me, if you think that handguns and explosives are the progress of human civilization, then you're completely wrong! Do you think there's any difference between a modern person holding a gun to kill their own kind and an ancient person holding a bow and arrow to kill their own kind? There is no difference at all! What I mean by the progress of human civilization refers to progress in thinking and behavior!"

  ……

  "Modern warfare is more about laws, public opinion, finance and currency than it is about weapons! So, Ms. House, how much do you know besides guns?"

  ……

  "Do you know the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia? That communist society on the Balkan Peninsula! The currency war in the United States led to an economic crisis in Yugoslavia, and the economic crisis eventually led to a political crisis. Don't understand? Okay, so I'll tell you, in the mid-1970s, Yugoslavia began to use large amounts of Western loans and imported patents, which greatly improved the production equipment and product quality of Yugoslavia. In the early 1980s, it was time to repay the debt. At first, enterprises tried hard to repay the debt, but the raw materials used for production were basically dependent on imports, and after repaying the debt, they had no power to import raw materials again. Finally, it fell into a vicious circle of stagnant production - unable to export - no money to import - no raw materials for production. At that time, Yugoslavia's foreign debt was nearly $20 billion, but because of the autonomous system, most loans were borrowed by enterprises and republics, and the federal government had no idea how much debt the country owed together, because the registered foreign debt in the federation was less than $4 billion. However, when enterprises and republics were unable to repay their debts, the creditors led by the United States collectively came to the door, and the government suddenly realized that Yugoslavia's debt was already high. The $20 billion debt exacerbated the ethnic contradictions within the federal republic, and Western countries took advantage of the situation. I can tell you very certainly that in the next year or two, Yugoslavia will head towards the abyss of disintegration!"

  "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew."

  ……

  "Madam, if you want to change the world, you must have the power to change the world. Relying solely on 200 hot-blooded young men with rifles is far from enough!"

  ……

  "What you need is even greater power!"
