The two people talked as they walked deeper into the alley.
"The benefits are very tempting,"
Gu Xing's voice remained calm, "But it's more than that."
"Of course, I only said a small part of it."
Zhizi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Gu Xing.
"I mean, not just seeing the benefits,"
Gu Xing raised his head and looked up. The high walls on both sides formed a narrow sky above the alley.
This country rarely builds such very narrow alleys, but Crow and Tomoko chose this place as a place to chat, which really doesn't broaden the view.
Gu Xing even guessed that Fujino would have felt similar to him here just now. That guy was about to be destroyed. In this environment, he would feel even more desperate.
As for Gu Xing, he was not happy to face possible enemies in the future.
"If you think about it carefully, I'm afraid there will be more harm - according to what you described, those weird things are very dangerous.
After becoming an investigator, enjoying special rights, it is inevitable to investigate weirdness according to the will of the country. Faced with unpredictable weirdness, any investigator can be 100% sure that he will not fall into a dangerous situation.
How about getting through the weirdness unscathed?”
Although Gu Xing's will to refuse was firm, Gu Xing's tone of voice was actually relatively soft.
"In addition, you said that the academic community has been studying how to allow humans to tolerate weirdness with weird rules, which itself is full of danger and uncertainty.
The experimental results also show that there is no precedent for successful accommodation. After becoming a weird investigator, it is inevitable that he will become a guinea pig in a weird experiment? What if the experiment fails, will his life be lost?
In addition, even if one day, people are really lucky to accommodate grotesques. Will those dangerous grotesques that far exceed human imagination stay in the investigator's body and not become a terrible hidden danger that threatens the investigator's life?
.
You should tell me all these things in advance, right?"
Tomoko opened his mouth in surprise. The disadvantages mentioned by this person were completely true.
Tomoko himself had heard of many investigators who died in the line of duty in bizarre incidents. Lidu City alone had a list of twenty people. As assistants to trial and error personnel, those who died were even more frequent.
"Okay, in order to convince you as much as possible, I'm afraid I have to reveal some information that only the Special Investigation Division has internal knowledge of. Please keep it confidential to avoid causing panic in the society."
The conversation had reached this point, and facing such a smart person, Tomoko felt that it would be better for her to speak frankly.
"Perhaps Gu Xingjun has not noticed that in the strange talk sections of various website forums, posts about various bizarre ghost stories have become more frequent recently. This is a situation where the government has deliberately controlled and guided the situation to reduce the impact.
According to research by our National Institute of the Grotesque, as time goes by, the frequency of grotesque occurrences around the world will become higher and higher. Maybe one day, there will be an explosion of grotesqueries that humans cannot predict at present. You and I
Come,"
Tomoko led Gu Xing out of the alley and pointed to the sky above Central Park, "Gu Xingjun has learned a lot about that big black hole in the past few days."
"Um,"
Gu Xing had an indescribable feeling in his heart - the black hole that had disturbed the whole city of Li for several days was probably caused by him. It was like an evil hand hiding in the darkness.
"The news has been reporting in the past few days, and it seems that it has not had any impact on the daily lives of citizens."
"That's just external propaganda and rhetoric used to appease the public,"
Tomoko said: "In fact, researchers have conducted several rounds of specialized detection and research, and there has been a mysterious and stable wave continuously emitted from the black hole. A small amount stayed in Lidu City, and most of it spread to all parts of the world.
Come on.
The institute believes that this black hole may be the beginning of a bizarre explosion that ignites the entire world."
This time, it was Gu Xing's turn to open his mouth wide.
"Is this... something wrong?"
Gu Xing looked up at the sky, "This black hole has been out for so many days, isn't Lidu City still peaceful?"
"That's just what you think,"
Tomoko said: "Except for Satomi's grandma, since the emergence of black holes, there have been several bizarre incidents across the country, but most of them have been limited to a small scale and budding state, and have not had as big an impact as Satomi's grandma.
.The investigators, who used to feel a little leisurely, have been very busy and exhausted recently."
"I wish there could be more weirdos like Rimi's grandma who punish evil and promote good." Gu Xing said lightly.
"You'd better be more careful with your words,"
Tomoko subconsciously looked towards the place where Master Crow was standing before, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she had really left.
"Criminals should be punished by law. If Lord Crow hears your thoughts, I don't think your life will be easy in the future.
In addition, weirdos like Grandma Satomi are in the minority after all. Most weirdos kill humans indiscriminately according to the rules. I think you don't want to see them either.
All in all, the day when the weirdness breaks out will come sooner or later. It will not be affected by our human will at all.
At this moment, as an ordinary person, your probability of being attacked by a grotesque may be relatively low. But on the day when it really breaks out, no one can guarantee that they will not die at the hands of cold-blooded grotesques.
Tell me, at that time, do you have a higher chance of survival as a highly capable grotesque investigator, or do you have a higher chance of survival as an ordinary person who trembles under the threat of grotesqueness? Am I clear enough?"
"It couldn't be more clear..."
Gu Xing once again looked at the huge abyss-like black hole above Central Park, "Should our country use nuclear weapons to destroy that big hole?"
"If only it were that simple,"
Tomoko also followed his gaze and looked over,
"The top weird experts have been studying it for so many days, but they still can't figure out the details of this black hole. In fact, they can only say that they have scratched the surface.
Who can be sure that after destroying a black hole with a nuclear bomb, a more terrifying hole will appear?
Instead of facing a worse outcome, it is better to maintain the current state of moderate change and slowly study solutions and restraint methods.
Gu Xingjun,"
At this point, Tomoko looked at her watch,
"As for Satomi's grandmother, I still need to rush back to the police headquarters as soon as possible to cooperate with the investigator for further research. Please..."
"The matter is of great importance," Gu Xing replied: "I will think carefully for a few days before making a reply."
Although he said that, Gu Xing had already made up his mind that he would never join any weird investigation department.
What will you do after becoming a grotesque investigator? Investigate and solve the grotesques you describe?
It totally feels like you are shooting yourself and plugging the hole of the gun yourself.
How would the country view a monster like him who could describe or even create grotesqueness? Even the huge black hole in the sky, which was regarded as a major threat to the world, was made by Gu Xing by poking his finger. What a monster this is.
Think about it, being put in jail may be the lightest punishment. If you think about it from another perspective, if Gu Xing were the head of state, I'm afraid it would be best to shoot such a monster as soon as possible to prevent everything from completely getting out of control.
For Gu Xing, entering the Special Investigation Section and becoming a grotesque investigator not only requires being on tenterhooks when solving grotesques, but also has to bear huge risks of exposing his own secrets at all times. It is by no means a wise choice.
“Totally understandable,”
Tomoko is quite satisfied with the outcome of today's conversation. At least, Gu Xing is willing to consider it, isn't it?
"In this case, I will take my leave first. Once you make a decision, please contact me as soon as possible,"
Zhizi and Gu Xing exchanged phone numbers, "Everything I told you today, please Gu Xingjun, please keep it secret."
