Chapter 4 Do you want to grasp the true meaning of life?
Gu Xing tried to stretch the pencil, gently.
"Wow!"
On the edge of Central Park, the onlookers screamed in surprise.
The huge bare pencil in the sky swings back and forth, as if the giant behind the pencil is responding to humanity.
In the basement, Gu Xing had goosebumps all over his body.
To describe the current situation in one sentence, the outrageous mother opened the door for the outrageous mother, and the outrageous mother came home.
Gu Xing's gaze turned to the phone, his eyes almost piercing into it and directly seeing the huge pencil as the background of the live broadcast.
The reporter stood in front of the camera and shouted excitedly:
"Host! Audience friends in front of the TV and mobile phones!
I don’t know if you have seen it, just now, just now, [Lidu Jubi], in front of thousands of onlookers, in front of all the police officers maintaining order, in front of thousands of viewers in front of the TV,
It shook slightly.
I don’t know what this means, but I have a hunch that the world will undergo earth-shaking changes!”
Looking at the dancing reporter, the host restrained his emotions and said: "Okay, I understand the reporter's excitement at the moment, but I guess the audience still wants to know some more objective and real situation on the scene."
Reporter: "Ah, I'm really sorry, I was abrupt. Next, we will interview a policeman on duty and let him give us a detailed introduction."
The camera slowly rotated - Anda's face with dark panda eyes was smiling stiffly. He was still there, and Gu Xing was convinced.
He wanted to insert his middle finger into the hole and shake it at Anda.
"Dear viewers, I am the Inspector Andano of the Jing'an Branch of the Lidu City Police Headquarters. From the first moment when [Li Kong Giant Finger] appeared last night, I rushed to the scene to perform tasks. Up to now, it has been close to twenty
I haven't slept for an hour.
At this moment, I am fighting entirely with my will, and I will continue to fight until..."
Anda talked endlessly, and the director finally couldn't help it and cut the scene back to the studio.
"Mr. Rongnan,"
The host has already thought about the focus of the interview, "I think that after the [Lidu Giant Finger] appeared and disappeared, [Lidu Giant Pen] appeared again, you must have a lot to say."
"this……"
The studio fell into a long silence.
"Buzz——"
A wasp mysteriously broke into the live broadcast room, passed through the hot shooting machines, and rushed straight towards Matsuue Eiao.
"Mom...Mom! Wasp!"
Rong Nan seemed to have caught the savior. He quickly stood up and rushed to the pile of workers on the side, "Run and dig!"
"Accident! Unit No. 1," the director shouted, "cut to the scene quickly!"
After Rong Nan rushed into the crowd, the wasp seemed to have lost its target.
It turned around and rushed straight towards the TV camera. The sound of flapping its wings was infinitely amplified in the studio.
"Buzz——"
A helicopter kicked up a large cloud of dust, rose from the open space in the middle of Central Park, and flew towards the giant pencil.
The pilot sat in the cabin, stretched his arm out of the cabin window, and gave a thumbs up to the nearest TV camera.
On the ground, a photographer holding a high-power camera found the right angle and connected the driver's thumb with the tip of the giant pencil in the sky.
The shutter is pressed——
"Click!" The photo was quickly sent back to the studio and displayed on the director's computer desktop.
“This picture is so artistic!”
The director waved his fist excitedly, "Maybe we can reverse the negative impact of the accident just now. Let's switch the photo to the main screen."
The live TV soon cut to that photo——
A huge pencil protruded from the abyss-like black hole in the sky, and the helicopter took off like a fly.
The picture was enlarged several times, and from a tilted angle, the pilot stretched out his thumb from the helicopter, which happened to be directly opposite the tip of Lidu's giant pen - a human finger was like a thin needle poking in front of the giant pen.
Compared to an aircraft carrier, it is too small.
"The metaphorical meaning of this photo," Song Zhiyingao, who was hiding among the staff, muttered in a low voice, "doesn't seem very auspicious."
The photo of the finger facing the giant pen takes up the entire screen of the mobile phone.
A thought came to Gu Xing's mind - maybe, just by swinging the pencil, the toy-like plane would be destroyed.
However, Gu Xing had no interest in having a head-on conflict with the helicopter and drew back his pencil.
"Wow!"
The exclamations from the onlookers came again from the mobile phone.
The reporter snatched the microphone back from Anda, who had not yet had time to finish speaking, "Friends in the audience, I don't know if you saw it just now. Just now, the [Lidu Giant Pen] was retracted from the huge black hole.
Yes, if I read it correctly, this movement of pulling away is very gentle, like a giant hiding in the dark night treating his beloved woman tenderly.
Now, I believe that every audience member has the same question as me, that is - who is the owner of yesterday's huge finger and today's huge pencil? Is it an extremely huge giant? What is his purpose?
What is it, will he extend his finger again in the future..."
That finger was raised in front of Gu Xing's eyes.
Gu Xing stared blankly, his head buzzing. It took a long time before he came back to his senses.
Obviously, it can be inferred that the other end of the small hole in the basement is connected to the huge black hole above Central Park.
If I were to speculate more boldly, I might have poked the huge black hole with my right index finger.
Gu Xing swallowed and made a growl in his throat.
He thought for a moment, walked around the room, and found a needle slightly shorter than his finger.
He walked to the small hole, pointed the needle at the small hole, and slowly inserted it.
A huge needle came out of the huge black hole and fell steadily.
"Oh my God!"
The reporter’s exclamation came from the mobile phone:
"Dear viewers, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived again, and we are all witnesses!
I wonder if the giant hiding behind the black hole is trying to answer the question I just asked.
Does he mean by stretching out this needle that the world is sick and humans are destroying nature like crazy, so a needle is necessary to treat it? I am definitely not talking nonsense..."
The reporter also made wild conjectures, such as Morse code and alien language.
For Gu Xing, the function of the small hole in the corner is self-evident - it can transfer what Gu Xing stuffed into the huge black hole above Central Park, magnifying it many times.
Gu Xing withdrew the needle and was not too excited.
He really couldn't imagine the significance and value of the small hole in the wall.
Stuff a gold bar into the hole?
In the end, the gold bars were magnified countless times and thrown into the middle of the park. Then, government officials and generations of plutocrats moved the gold bars away on the pretext of research and improving public services. Not a gram was left to Gu Xing and ordinary citizens.
If such a big gold bar suddenly appears, I'm afraid gold will become worthless.
If you think about it more carefully, the appearance of the small hole in the wall might actually cause huge trouble to the entire city.
For example, if the basement leaks and water flows in through a small hole, it may be a flood.
When a cockroach crawls into a small hole, a giant cockroach monster may appear, which will require the military to dispatch aircraft and tanks to eliminate it.
If there is a fire and smoke in the basement...
Gas leak…
Gu Xing has the flu...
I accidentally threw my smelly shoes and socks in the corner...
It's simply unimaginable.
The danger should be nipped in the bud.
Or, just paste the holes.
Gu Xing found a piece of A4 paper and a roll of transparent tape from the table and planned to stick it on the small hole.
A dark light flashed through, and a small rolled-up note was handed out from the hole.
"Huh? How could..."
Gu Xing was startled. After a while, he saw that there was no movement in the small hole, so he lay down on the ground and looked into the small hole. There was still a blur of light.
"Hey, is anyone there?"
There is no feedback from the small hole.
Gu Xing hesitated for a moment and picked up the note.
On the note, it was written in very elegant handwriting:
【Hey...do you want to grasp the true meaning of life?】
Not interested. Such thoughts flashed through Gu Xing's head.
The note disappears.
A new note was handed out from the hole.
Gu Xing opened the note again:
【Do you want to control the life and death of human beings? 】
Gu Xing shook his head.
The note disappeared and a new note was handed out:
【Do you want to cleanse the darkness and punish the sins in the world? 】
Gu Xing felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
After a long while, he replied: "If I want to... what price will I have to pay?"
【Five years】
[Five years of your life will be deducted forever]
It's probably a trap! This was the first reaction in Gu Xing's head.
"When did the five years start? In which time period? Past, present, or future? Should I forget the past? Or lose the future?"
【Frankly speaking, it's possible】
"Can I choose?"
[Random, like a blind box]
Never mind him.
What if it's just a trap?
A hot and crazy idea rushed into Gu Xing's head - five years... let alone five years, as long as it can sweep away the filth and darkness in the world, just deduct ten years, fifty years, why not deduct a lifetime?
This idea is very naive and childish.
Think carefully about whether the small hole will deduct Gu Xing's lifespan and fail to fulfill the promise.
Or, he was simply teasing Gu Xing.
Deducting a person's life span can punish the darkness and evil in the world. The cost is so small that it is incredible no matter how you think about it.
But... Gu Xing is willing to make a fearless and unconcerned attempt for this slim hope. Even if he sacrifices his life, he just wants to try it once.
After entering the police world and becoming a young detective in the Criminal Division, Gu Xing went through many case files and saw too many murderers who were not found, crimes that were not punished, grievances that were not cleared, and even...
Until the end, until the victim died unjustly, justice still did not arrive...
Why should those cruel beasts who are inferior to pigs and dogs be left to cause harm in the world, while those innocent people are on the road to hell? Gu Xing wants to send all the beasts to hell!
"Take it away."
Gu Xing's answer was decisive.
The words on the note disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, several new lines of text appeared:
[Gu Xing (male, 25 years old, patrolling the Jing'an Police Station of the Lidu City Police Headquarters), you have been selected to be the new describer of the weird hole. As long as the huge black hole in the sky exists, the weirdness and rules you describe will continue to exist.
In this world, reincarnation continues.]
"What is weird...?"
The original words disappeared, and new words appeared after a moment.
[All absurdity, weirdness and bizarreness that have rules in the world are all weirdness.]
"This rule means-"
[No need to ask, because soon...you will describe the weirdness.]
There was silence in the basement.
In the live broadcast on the mobile phone, the noisy Central Park, the roaring helicopters, the gaping black hole in the sky, and the endless gray smog covering the city seemed to be hidden in another world.
