Shibuya apartment, Gu Xing's house, bedroom. The curtains are tightly drawn. Daytime.
Shengzi and Gu Xing were glued to the white wall, each holding one end of a tape measure, with Gu Xing on top and Shengzi at the bottom, measuring a certain height.
"According to your height," Shengzi put the tape measure head against the bottom of the wall, close to the base line, and looked up at Gu Xing, "It should be enough to reach two meters, right?"
"Hmm~ That's enough," Gu Xing hung a pencil from his ear and looked at the scale on the tape measure. The scent of the Holy Son kept coming into his nose, "But, do you really want to start here?" A door?"
"Yes, you draw the line,"
Shengzi made an OK gesture and stood up with the tape measure, "Wow, my legs are so sore... Let's make an invisible door here. I can come over whenever I want."
"Why bother?"
Gu Xing took the pencil off his ear, marked the place where the tape measure stayed, and then motioned to the Holy Son to loosen the tape measure. The tape measure quickly bounced back and shrank into the tape measure box, "I mean, you There is absolutely no need to rent another house, just stay here with me."
"Humph," Shengzi said, "Didn't you make it clear before that you don't want to share a room with me? How could I have the nerve to move here so shamelessly?"
Gu Xing: "Uh, this, this time and that time..."
"I'm kidding you," Shengzi chuckled, "That's what I thought - that night, Midori, who was in charge of monitoring Naya's office, saw with his own eyes the relationship between me and a certain director..."
Speaking of this, her face turned slightly red.
Gu Xing: "Oh, what happened between you and the director?"
"Asking even though you know it!"
Shengzi said angrily: "Anyway, she saw it and reported it to our headquarters. Now, the headquarters and even several officers of the National Police Agency know about what happened between me and the weird director. A story similar to that of the writer and the green friend Rie. In this case, if I move to your house openly, wouldn't it be clear that you are the faceless director - otherwise, why would we keep the curtains closed? "
Regarding the matter of Gu Xing secretly joining the Weird Alliance, Shengzi and Gu Xing discussed it and finally decided to keep it strictly confidential for the time being. The main consideration was that the two people could not accurately judge what the top police officials would do after learning about this matter. What strategy will be adopted for Gu Xing?
Perhaps at the beginning, the police might have been trying to win over Gu Xing out of a friendly relationship with the Weird Alliance. But what about the future? Who knows how the situation will develop in the future.
At this point, Shengzi and Gu Xing reached a consensus - the Weird Alliance can help investigators solve horrific weird incidents, but certain principles must be adhered to: for example, the identity of the director must always be hidden within the scope of ability. , maintain a sense of mystery, and at the same time, ensure that the members of the alliance will not complete the rules in a chaotic and weird direction.
…
"Speaking of words,"
Shengzi stood in front of the wall of Gu Xing's bedroom, looking at the door frame lines drawn with pencil on the white wall. He held a wall-cutting sledgehammer that was much longer than his own height, "What will you do in the Weird League?" ...What is it?”
"What's that?"
"I mean,"
The Holy Son shook the sledgehammer in his hand and blew into the wind - for an investigator assistant who receives high-load training every day, playing with such a hammer is really nothing.
"Your status in the Weird Alliance... Logically speaking, it shouldn't be too early for you to join it, right? But I think many of them listen to you..."
"Weirdos are not like humans, who often rely on seniority and age - what they value is ability, experience and wisdom,"
Gu Xing cleared his throat, "If I have to explain, I am the strategist of the Weird Alliance."
"Dog-headed military advisor?"
"Cough, cough cough..."
"Gu Xingjun..."
"Um?"
"I'm very curious," the Son raised his hammer on the ground, "How did you get connected with the Weird Alliance at that time?"
Gu Xing: "..."
"Okay," Shengzi smiled and said, "I know it's not convenient for you to say. Very good, I would rather you not tell me than lie to me."
As she said that, she suddenly picked up the sledgehammer and said, "Brush!" and gave a sharp hammer to the center of the painted door frame on the wall——
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, followed by the sound of bricks and wall coverings falling.
A large cloud of dust rose up, the room suddenly became gray, and both of them started coughing.
Gu Xing waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of him, and put his head close to the wall... There was a huge wall hole in front of him, and on the other side was the house rented by the Holy Son - to be honest, Gu Xing could easily pass through the hole now.
, I really can’t believe that this is the power of the Holy Son.
"Well," Gu Xing said, "I suddenly thought - do we need to consider the feelings of the rental company..."
The voice of the Holy Son came to his ears:
"Don't lie~"
"I think,"
Gu Xing's face returned to normal, he took the long-handled sledgehammer from the hands of the Holy Son, and gently stroked the other's smooth and elastic forearm with his fingers, "It's a waste of all your endless energy to just use it to dig into the wall.
We can do something more pleasant...such as cutting through walls to steal light..."
"Cut the wall..."
The Holy Son looked confused, "Stealing light?"
"Let me demonstrate it to you." Gu Xing said seriously.
…
Lidu Police Headquarters office building, a round table conference room.
Nakazawa Kenji sat in the host's seat, and the widow, Ye Ying, Midoriko, Beeto, Tomoko, Farmer, and other investigators took their seats from both sides in order. Sitting at the end was Mineto's assistant Seiko.
Investigators are also very sensitive to things like sorting. In general, let numbers speak -
Among a group of investigators, it doesn't matter what year someone ranks among a group of investigators, but rather how many weird incidents she has solved in the past, especially the chaotic and disorderly murders. The solution is disordered.
The more bizarre incidents of chaotic killings, the higher the status of the investigator.
At this moment, the Holy Son peeked at the profile of each investigator, and corresponding numbers seemed to appear on their heads one by one——
Widow (resolved 17 weird incidents, 11 of which were chaotic);
Night Shadow (resolved 18 bizarre incidents, including 6 chaotic incidents);
Midoriko (resolved 3 bizarre incidents, including 1 chaotic incident);
Peak Man (resolved 2 weird incidents, including 1 chaotic incident) - The chaotic weird incident that Bee Man solved was Sakurako. In fact, this incident was probably solved by the Weird Alliance. Seiko silently put Peak Man's number
Adjusted to 0.
Tomoko (resolved 2 weird incidents, 0 of which were chaotic);
Farmer (resolved 1 weird incident, 0 of which were chaotic) - This used to be Saury's assistant. The Holy Son clearly remembered the other person's name before, but now he can't remember it at all. It must be said that the assistant became a full-time employee
That kind of weird item that can make all old acquaintances forget his name is a bug.
There are countless weird incidents that were solved when I was an assistant. So, overall, these trainee investigators who have just been transferred from assistants do not look very reassuring.
When will I be able to be like the investigators in front of me, with a line of numbers floating above my head representing the number of weird incidents solved? The Son is looking forward to it.
"so,"
Kenji Nakazawa knocked on the table to wake Seiko out of his wild thoughts, "You mean, you and the faceless director fell in love at first sight? Just like the writer and Midori Rie?"
"Let me interject,"
Ye Ying from Dongdu said: "I know everything about the writer. That guy with a hole in his head will never have the idea of love at first sight. He was completely forced to survive from the weird hands. As for the reason why he did it later
If you live together with Midori Rie, you probably got a taste of each other's sweetness."
Kenji Nakazawa: "..."
"It was love at first sight,"
Shengzi didn't want to lie, but as far as this matter was concerned, she had no other choice - "From the first moment we saw each other, we recognized each other..."

(End of chapter)
By the way, I actually forgot about the weird thing about making people forget their names when an investigator assistant becomes a full-time employee. I searched for a long time and couldn't find it... Hey, the older you get, the worse your memory becomes. Or,
I'm also locked into some weird forgotten rules?
Hey guys, does anyone remember what that weird thing is?
