Tomoko sat in the back seat of the car, behind the passenger seat. This position always made her feel more relaxed.
She recalled the relevant information about Satomi in her mind. This poor child had lost all his relatives and was helpless. He was once forced to drop out of school by a loan shark salesman named Yoshino.
Fortunately, Yoshino has died at the hands of the monster, and Satomi can go to school normally again.
From this point of view, it seems that the reason why grandma became a monster is to save the poor granddaughter from suffering.
No, it can even be said that grandma is trying to save all the people who are cruelly oppressed by loan sharks from the boundless sea of suffering.
Do we really want to accommodate such a kind and weird person?
No matter which angle you think about it, weird things like grandma are like God's patches for the world, plugging up the corners and loopholes that cannot be covered by law and morality.
The country should advocate it.
By the way, the special investigation divisions across the country are currently only able to be very tough on this kind of orderly selection of benign grotesques. Facing those grotesques with universal killing rules, all of them are trembling. They can simply bully the weak and fear the strong.
describe.
Alas, thinking about it, there is really nothing we can do about it.
The investigators who have escaped from horrific and bizarre incidents are actually ordinary people. They can only rely on their extraordinary physical fitness, high-tech means, and a small number of grotesque items that have been contained to find the answers to grotesque rules.
Loopholes. But in fact, humans simply cannot fight against the grotesque.
According to a certain investigator, he always feels like this - "My soul is weak. The more I resist, the more desperate I feel."
My thoughts wandered too far.
Tomoko looked at the scenery outside the window, and it seemed that she was getting closer and closer to Shonan Middle School.
I don’t know what the girl named Satomi is doing now.
Does she know now that her grandmother has turned into a monster with no sense of autonomy and relies on rules to act?
I'm afraid, in the end, Tomoko will still need to tell Satomi the cruel truth in person, and even ask Satomi to fully cooperate with the Special Investigation Section to take in her grandma.
During this process, there will definitely be a scene where Satomi faces her grandma. For someone who has just lost her grandma, she has to personally send a weirdo who looks exactly like her grandma into confinement.
No matter which TV series she is cast into, Tomoko never feels like a good person.
At this time, the car stopped.
"Police department," the driver said, "Shonan High School has arrived."
Although the name of the Special Investigation Division sounds like the same level as other divisions, within the system framework of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department that is not shown to outsiders, the Special Investigation Division has a very high status and level. After all, this is the entire police force.
The system is always facing the most dangerous departments.
Needless to say, weird investigators, even the assistant investigators, once they are appointed, are at least at the level of the police department. Those ordinary local policemen who work hard all their lives and finally get the police department's job are considered to have completed their merits.
In order to facilitate the handling of weird incidents, the department also provides a special car and a full-time driver for each weird investigator and assistant, and all expenses are reimbursed. This is also a very special treatment.
"Okay, please wait here for a moment, I shouldn't be here for long."
Tomoko opened the door and got out of the car, just gave instructions and walked towards the school gate.
Just as she was about to enter the school gate, a security guard stopped her, "Excuse me, are you..."
"I'm from the Special Investigation Section of the Lidu City Police Headquarters," Tomoko subconsciously took out her ID and showed it, "Well, I'm here...,"
Speaking of which, Tomoko suddenly saw an old woman with a cane standing in the distance, and then a blue light flashed in front of her eyes.
The next moment, she suddenly felt that her mind went blank - what am I here to do?
Tomoko stood at the door of Shonan Middle School in a daze for a long time.
"Miss,"
The security guard at the school gate waved his hand in front of Tomoko's eyes, trying to summon her back from another world, "What are you thinking about?"
"Uh," Tomoko raised her head and looked at the security guard, "Sorry, I seem to have gone the wrong way. Say goodbye."
Tomoko blushed deeply, returned to the car decisively, and said to the driver: "Have I ever told you what I came to Shonan High School for?"
"No," the driver said, "Isn't your work always confidential?"
"Let's go back to headquarters first."
Tomoko hit her head with the palm of her hand. Damn it, she felt like she had forgotten something very important, as if a piece of her head had been picked out.
After returning to the headquarters, Tomoko looked through her work records and found that there were no records about Shonan High School at all, and she did not find any useful clues.
After scratching and struggling for a long time, Tomoko finally found the crow.
She told the crow frankly that for some reason she had temporarily forgotten the purpose of going to Shonan Middle School, and begged the crow to tell her the answer.
"Didn't I ask you to release the weird news to the major loan shark companies as soon as possible? Have you done it?" Crow frowned.
"OK!"
Tomoko breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll do it now."
"The next victim is important."
Crow lay on the sofa, put his head in his hands, and looked at the ceiling, "Everything went as planned."
…
Nara apartment basement.
[The live broadcast ends, 1 day of life will be deducted]
Gu Xing was dumbfounded...Have I redeemed the [Forgotten Card]? I guess not?
A message came from the small hole:
[What luck, Gu Xingjun... it was grandma who took the initiative. It seems that Rimi was also included in her own rules by grandma. I told you, the first one who described it was weird and buggy]
"What exactly? Where is the bug?"
[Uh... I can't explain this clearly. In short, there will be many unexpected situations. For example, this time...]
Gu Xing re-watched the live broadcast. In any case, he himself did not do any operations, and there should be no suspicious traces left.
"I have always had a doubt," he said while holding the note and reading it: "Who are you hiding behind the small hole? Are you a human or... a monster?"
【Do you really want to know】
"certainly."
[Unfortunately, you are too weak now and cannot afford my answer]
"..."
"What do Crow and Tomoko mean by containment and confinement?"
[Weak humans are trying in vain to find loopholes in the rules to limit grotesqueness to a controllable range.]
"Weak chicken?" Gu Xing felt a little offended.
[Of course not including you, after all, we are all describers]
Just looking at the text, Gu Xing seemed to be able to hear Xiaodong's sarcastic voice:
[Few of the so-called investigators can master the power of weird rules. At most, they have some low-level methods of superpowers. Of course they are weak in the face of weirdness]
"You mean, it's impossible for them to take in Satomi's grandma?"
[Maybe, after all, they have had successful experience. However, you must keep in mind that only the grotesque can fight against the grotesque]
Speechless.
"Is there any way to prevent Satomi's grandmother from being taken into custody by the weird investigators?"
[Do you want to pay for something that hasn’t happened yet?]
"Didn't you say before that my identity might be exposed? In addition, didn't you say that the first weirdness of the describer is very precious?"
[If we take action now, the price may be a bit high... Moreover, they have forgotten Rimi. Without Rimi, it is impossible for those weaklings to take in grandma. You see, I never cheat my employer]
The first half of the sentence makes some sense, but the second half definitely deserves a question mark.
Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
He reminded himself again... When facing a small hole, you must think more calmly and don't act rashly.
In this case, there is no need to think too much and just wait quietly for the confrontation between Crow and Grandma Satomi.
After a lot of fussing, it was almost time to go to work in the afternoon. Gu Xing packed up and prepared to go to the police station.
Before leaving, he came to the small cave and said, "Dongsang, give me a note."
【What to do】
"In order to communicate with you at any time."
【From today on, you will also have to pay the price for this.】
"Why?"
[You can get information from my note anytime and anywhere and do business with me. Don’t you think this is also a gift from fate?]
Totally a cheapskate...
“How much do I have to pay for this?”
[How about exchanging one day for another? It’s like a clearance sale. In addition, you have to make up for what you owed me before]
…
In the next few days, Gu Xing visited the scene more and more often, and began to actively look through past criminal files, including some unsolved cases that had not been solved for many years.
He had a conversation with Xiaodong about creating weirdness, and he learned that creating weirdness could never be fabricated out of thin air, nor could it be exchanged with Xiaodong by paying his lifespan.
Even the small hole does not provide any possible methods to create weirdness, everything has to be explored by oneself.
But what is certain is that if you want to create a new weirdness, it will definitely be related to the things Gu Xing has come into contact with in his life.
For example, after meeting Satomi, the small hole was triggered to create Satomi's grandmother.
Gu Xing's initial thought was that by getting in touch with more crime scenes or criminals, there might be a chance to trigger Xiao Dong's creative desire again.
At present, it is obviously ineffective. It seems that those shocking murders cannot ignite the trigger of weirdness.
Forget it, haste makes waste.
The days are still long, so we need to be patient enough. Gu Xing thought so.
That night, Gu Xing suddenly received a text message from Long Yi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time——
"You're a police officer, right."
