Before the end of the night when the killer Ichiko appeared for the last time, Gu Xing asked Eijiro to place the comatose Son at the intersection where the patrol car was about to pass...
The policemen, who had not slept a wink all night, were overjoyed and curious about how the murderer could be so kind as to let the Holy Son go.
They checked the surveillance video at the intersection and saw a taxi parked on the side of the road. A man with a broad body and a slit took the Holy Son out of the car and placed him on the side of the road. He moved very gently.
"monster!"
"Murderer!"
With a sense of urgency, the police invited investigators from the Oddity Investigation Section to identify whether the murderer was the grotesque they said they were.
As soon as the video opened, the frogman who had participated in the investigation of the case of Kumada Nobuhiko, the slit-mouthed cannibal in the Nara Apartment, was startled on the spot. He shouted in panic:
"Don't look! Don't even look!"
After finishing speaking, he took the lead and closed his eyes.
He originally thought that a tragedy was about to happen in the control room, but after a short silence, he opened his eyes again and saw a pair of eyes filled with confusion.
"The one in the video just now is Nobuhiko Kumada, right?"
The frogman looked at Dongluo and Qiuyu in surprise, "You two were also involved in the case at that time. That guy could eat people through surveillance..."
"but,"
Saury is currently reading "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure",
"That night, Kumada Nobuhiko was killed by the wood chipper Fujino. Didn't he join that weird alliance camp that seemed to be good and lawful? Saburo Uragaga saw him in the taxi. Moreover, he seemed to be just now
Got off that taxi."
After hearing about saury, the frogman suddenly thought of a possibility——
Is it possible that Grandma Satomi facilitated this so-called weird alliance?
For example, if Grandma eats Fujino, Fujino becomes a member of the Weird Alliance.
Fujino put Nobuhiko Kumada into the wood chipper, and Nobuhiko Kumada became a member of the alliance.
As for the taxi driver, he was probably brought into the alliance by Satomi's grandmother.
Of course, all this is just speculation and lacks strong evidence.
Even the frogman himself felt that his idea was a bit outrageous... However, he still shared it with all the investigators present.
“Not outrageous,”
Dongluo, who had been harassed by the frogmen all night, said: "I think your guess is very likely to be true. All night, all night, you finally said something useful."
The investigators present strongly agreed with this.
In any case, judging from the images in the video surveillance, the Weird Alliance is on the side of justice at the moment. At least, they have snatched the Holy Son from the hands of the murderer.
In addition, is there a possibility that the murderer Kou Chuanzi has actually been solved by the Weird Alliance? So, tonight, he suddenly disappeared without a trace?
Or was he simply scared away by the Weird Alliance?
Everything needs time to be answered.
The next day, the police uncovered everything about Chu Chuxun's past - birth, parents, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, classmates, friends, previous girlfriends (none), and previous jobs.
Everyone who knew Chu Chuxun said that he was timid, kind-hearted and polite. If the police hadn't come to his door, no one would have imagined that he could be a murderer.
The Weird Investigation Class sorted out the experience of Gui Xing from childhood to adulthood, and came to the conclusion that Gu Xing had already reached in Eijiro's book——
It was during the period when the Lidu Giant Finger first appeared that Exit Yong acquired weird abilities in the fog surrounding the city.
From this, the Weird Investigation Class made further inferences:
Humans can try to gain grotesque abilities by entering the fog.
When the citizens entered the fog, not only Chuchuzi was the only one, but where did the others go? Did they also acquire weird abilities like Chuchuzi?
Although the fog disappeared, it was created by the Lidu Giant Finger, so the Lidu Giant Finger must have some way for humans to master weird abilities.
The giant finger is gone now, but it was drilled out of a black hole in the sky. Therefore, black holes should also have the possibility of allowing humans to master weird abilities.
The good news is that black holes are still in the sky...
After some brief but urgent research, the National Police Agency’s Bizarre Research Department came up with a plan that seems a bit crazy no matter how you look at it——
Find an investigator who is determined, courageous, and extremely eager to have weird powers to enter the black hole and see what happens... and see if he will have weird powers as a result.
They codenamed this project [Black Hole].
Someone within the Weird Research Department once raised the suspicion that this code name was unlucky.
Mikami Mashi, head of the Weird Research Department, said: "Have any of my colleagues ever traveled to a real black hole in the universe? Does anyone know what the scenery is like after entering a black hole in the universe?"
The answer is of course no.
"So," Mikami Masashi said: "The same is true for the black hole above Lidu. No one knows what will happen if you break into it. Everything is unknown. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you don't know, so it is called a black hole.
Plan it, it couldn’t be more appropriate or clever.”
After the black hole project was reported, there was a heated discussion within the National Police Agency.
The most staunch opponent is Fukaya, the head of the Bizarre Investigation Department. His main reasons are threefold:
First, the appearance of a black hole was originally a signal of danger. Now, it has finally calmed down and there is no need to cause new waves.
Second, the life of any investigator should not be sacrificed for some baseless speculation. A reporter once rode a flying motorcycle into a huge black hole, but the result? No news.
Third, what if the investigator who was thrown into the black hole turns into a grotesque, or even a grotesque person who kills people in a disorderly manner? Or, what if his personality changes drastically and he becomes anti-human. Just like the mouth turtle, he was originally an honest and kind-hearted citizen, and soon
It is possible that after entering the fog, he was contaminated by weird things and turned into a murderer.
There is only one reason why Mikami Mashi insists on the [Black Hole] project:
"Why not give it a try?"
There are very few ways for human beings to save themselves. Since we can take the risk to try the "Friends of Humanity" plan and make contact with the "alien" who is completely unknown and may be a big devil, why can't we muster up a little more courage and go into the black hole?
Take a look?
Yes, someone once got into a black hole and disappeared. But those were ordinary people with very low mental power. What if investigators with very high mental power were sent in?
Even if the investigator becomes a grotesque as a result, the result is bearable.
Even if there was no black hole in Lidu, there would be a few special investigators every year in the entire book who failed to crush the Soul Exploding Orb in time for various reasons before they died and turned into monsters, but this did not cause devastating disasters.
"and,"
Mikami Masashi pointedly pointed out:
"The black hole has not calmed down, it just affects this country in another way. Are you deliberately ignoring this fact? Since the emergence of the black hole, incidents of disorderly and bizarre killings have become more and more frequent, right?
?”
The meeting that day lasted until late at night, with both sides insisting on their own opinions and never reaching an agreement. Generally speaking, the voice of not implementing the [Black Hole] plan gained the upper hand.
No matter when and where, as long as the edge of the sword is not against the throat, people will always tend to the option that is safer and will not disruptively change the status quo.
The next morning, in a bustling business district in Dongdu, a shopping mall called Daze, a tragic, disorderly and grotesque murder occurred.
Within a second, the heads of a hundred citizens were pulled out from their necks at the same time and rolled to the ground like bright red marbles... This was the third time this weird thing appeared in Dongdu.
For the first time, she pulled out the head of a beautiful woman who was live broadcasting in public in public. Although the video of that time was completely blocked in the country, it can still be found on the dark web under the ice.
A year later, she appeared for the second time and pulled out the heads of ten junior high school students who were attending class. The blood-stained classroom, the screaming survivors, and the teacher who fainted on the spot due to fear, the video once again went viral.
It spread online.
The Bizarre Investigation Section promptly deleted the incident and attributed both this incident and the first arrest incident to a prank created by a video special effects team trying to attract attention and become an Internet celebrity.
Terrifying rumors still spread uncontrollably among citizens.
"There is a devil in this country!"
Such a voice has gradually become a tacit code word among netizens, with some comparing it to the legendary apocalyptic disaster that occurred in 1999.
The third appearance was a year after the second.
Customers who were shopping in the Daze Shopping Mall experienced a shocking scene that they will never forget in their lives - a hundred heads instantly flew up from the necks of the customers who were shopping in the mall, accompanied by what looked like jets from a water pump.
The bloody flowers came out.
After a silence that was short enough to be ignored, the survivors screamed, ran, fled, trampled, and collided with each other. There were even two pairs of men and women who formed long-term partners because of the suspension bridge effect dominated by fear.
In order to prevent the tragedy that occurred in Daze Mall from being spread uncontrollably and causing a wider panic, the Bizarre Investigation Section sealed off the entire mall and isolated the survivors.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department mobilized a large number of psychological counselors and hypnotists in an attempt to guide the survivors one-on-one to treat those horrific scenes as a big-budget movie that acted rashly without notifying the extras in order to pursue more realistic effects.
Filming scene.
"Officer! Doctor!"
The survivors said with absurd expressions: "You treat us as fools, right?"
At this time, the weird investigators miss the era when the black hole over Lidu has not yet appeared, and the instruments that can erase human memory are still effective.
Following this nostalgia, if you think about it carefully, the black hole in Lidu is also weird. It has weird rules——
As long as the black hole remains suspended over Lidu, human memory cannot be erased.
This rule is still unsolved.
In a weird world where people are eaten everywhere, but the memory of fear cannot be forgotten, think about how hopeless it is.
The grotesque killing rules in Osawa Shopping Mall seem to be related only to time and numbers——
They always appear one year apart, and the number of murders increases exponentially. In other words, after another year, she will randomly pull out the heads of a thousand people. No one will be locked by her rules, and no one will be sure.
If you can escape her rules, everything is unknown.
"Look what happened this morning,"
During the black hole project review meeting that was held the next day, Mikami Masashi stood up confidently and banged the table with a loud bang.
"One hundred lives! One year later, there will be a thousand more! Another year later, she will pull out the heads of ten thousand people! Then, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, the people of the whole country will be killed
Pull your head out! But our weird investigator is helpless and can only stare!"
Shen Gu was also troubled by what happened this morning. To this day, his emotions are still stuck in the intersection of shock and depression, and he has no intention of fighting back against the excited opponent in front of him.
National Police Agency Chief Masaki Yagi made the final decision:
The [Black Hole] plan can be implemented. But like the [Friends of Humanity] plan, the development and research of black holes must be conducted cautiously and gradually within a controllable range as much as possible.
The [Black Hole] project was officially launched, and a plan implementation headquarters was established. The temporary organization was located in the National Police Agency's Bizarre Research Department, and Mikami Mashi served as the interim head of the headquarters.
A researcher within the department proposed that the hole entry test could be carried out step by step in an order of increasing risk from items - insects - animals - ordinary people (death row prisoners) - investigators.
Mikami Mashi agreed.
However, he crossed out the death row prisoners from the sequence. His reason was: if these guys had weird powers, they wouldn't know how to take revenge on the world.
Mikami took the lead in formulating a detailed implementation plan, including timetable, responsible person, implementation steps, details that need attention, etc.
They first sent out invitations to enter the black hole to weird investigators across the country——
"If you are an investigator, if you desire to have weird powers, if you are not afraid of sacrifice and move forward courageously, then we sincerely invite you to participate in the [Black Hole] Project!"
At the same time, they simultaneously began to experiment with putting objects-insects-animals into black holes...
Gu Xing only learned about this shocking experiment when they sent an invitation letter to weird investigators across the country——
Obayashi Hitoko, Ghost and Crow all received invitations, but they undoubtedly rejected the invitation as they already possess weird powers.
[Hey, Gu Xingjun, aren’t you nervous? 】
"Why are you nervous?"
At this moment, Gu Xing is sitting on the sofa in his Shibuya apartment, reading the book by Mr. Yamaura, a man in a bamboo hat.
He now has a preliminary understanding of one of the functions of the weird clone - at a certain moment, he summons Yamaura to replace his original self.
This is really useful...
[Aren’t you afraid that they will throw some messy things into the hole? 】
"It's not like they've never done this before..."
Gu Xing said: "The drone came in, and the male reporter nicknamed Interview Madman also came in, and he really brought a bunch of messy things..."
