The video has switched to real-time monitoring.
Inside the station, there were scattered passengers everywhere. As required by the answer, the police had used in-station announcements to guide passengers to disperse, but a considerable number of panicked passengers still gathered at various exits of the station, trying to break through the transparent light shields.
"Can't you let go of the light shield?" Yeying asked.
[Light mask] is one of the grotesque items collected by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and its effect is obvious.
In order to prevent the weirdness in the station from flowing into other parts of Dongdu and causing irreversible situations, Yeying applied for the right to use the photomask as soon as possible. But as a result, there are still some surviving passengers in Nakano Station...
"Find the weird location as quickly as possible,"
The answer was staring at the surveillance camera, "It should be a weird thing that just appeared. The rules level is low. There is still a chance to contain or restrict it now."
"over there!"
Ye Ying pointed to a spot on the screen——
Probably at the edge of the platform, a young man was running rapidly, at an alarming speed.
Not far away, a woman looked at him in a daze.
The man ran towards the woman. When they were about four or five meters apart, the man suddenly collapsed to the ground and turned into a ball of wrinkled human skin. The woman stood there in a daze, screamed, and quickly ran away into the distance. . The crowd in the distance dispersed in panic.
"It's not the original weirdness of Dongdu,"
The answer has actually been seen a long time ago. He held his elbow with one hand and rubbed his chin with the other, "So, how did it appear here?"
Ye Ying understood the meaning of the answer - according to the deductions from the grotesque research community, every grotesque is not formed out of thin air, and has its own complex or obscure causes.
As a detective, I have always been interested in the causes.
"Isn't this the time to worry about this?" Ye Ying adjusted his sunglasses, "That woman seems to have run towards the station exit..."
As she spoke, she looked at the surveillance camera at the exit again, where the crowd was still gathering.
"One-on-one killing rules...If it is not upgraded in a short period of time, it will be the same in places where people gather,"
The answer looked at the console again, "Understanding the reason for its appearance will help us figure out how to restrict the weird rules - let's replay the scene where the first victim appeared."
"Now?"
Ye Ying looked at the surveillance screen of a certain exit of the station. The woman just now ran there and quickly collapsed into a ball of human skin. The crowd gathered nearby screamed and dispersed, and the weirdness was mixed in the crowd.
"If you don't take action..."
"It is difficult to avoid casualties,"
The answer said: "However, at least for now, the weird can only trigger the killing rules when it sees the next victim. We can find a way to lead it to a relatively closed space, or simply let the Nakano Station be completely closed.
However, the rules are not clear yet... Before taking action, you must find the scene before the first victim enters the station. Are there any victims before him? Where is the source of the weirdness? Have the rules been updated during this period? These--
All have to find answers. "
The answer... Yeying looked at the answer and was silent for a while, "I think you are a little different from before..."
"before?"
"What I mean is," Yeying shook his head and pointed to the video screen, "If the weird blends into the crowd, we will probably lose its position..."
"He's always looking for the next target."
"Uh, okay."
A moment later, more than a dozen human skins appeared at the station entrance in the video, and panic spread wildly among the passengers. This makes it even more impossible to relax the ban on the station. Once the weirdness is allowed to stay in the eastern metropolitan area and continue to be devoured and purified, there is no telling what will happen.
"This woman looks familiar."
On the video, the first victim was chatting with a short-haired woman holding a pair of dirty shoes in her arms. Ye Ying looked at the woman and said, "I must have seen it somewhere."
"Check the face database of national investigators." The answer said.
Soon, the results came out.
"Da Lin Tongzi?"
Ye Ying looked through the information library on his mobile phone.
"It turns out to be her, an investigator from Beihai who specializes in dealing with the cannibal Nobuhiko Kumada. Once Nobuhiko Kumada came to Dongdu, it was Hitomi Obayashi who came to deal with it. I was also there at the time... This woman is not simple. You know, Kumada Nobuhiko is considered a C-level or higher freak.
When Beihai first appeared, Kumada Nobuhiko directly ate an investigator and an entire apartment... There was only one survivor, Hitoko Obayashi herself. "
"Move the video forward a little bit," the answer said.
Yeying pressed the reverse button a few times.
"this……"
Both people were stunned at the same time.
Yeying rewinds the video several times and watches the situation over and over again——
In a surveillance screen outside the station, on the deserted road, Dalin Tongzi appeared out of thin air. His true form was revealed in an instant, just like teleportation in a movie.
"This... shouldn't be something humans can do, right?"
"Did you see that gray glow?"
Time the answer and press the pause button.
He pulled out a short stick from his cuff, shook it slightly, and the stick turned into a metal crutch.
He raised his crutch, pointed at the screen, and answered: "The speed is very fast, and the movement is very concealed. Judging from the direction of the movement, it is likely that it came from Dalin Tongzi."
"what do you mean……"
"The answer may lie with Dalin Tongzi." The answer said.
"That is to say,"
Ye Ying understood it immediately, immediately adjusted the video, locked on Dalin Tongzi, and followed her whereabouts all the way down.
"Da Lin Tongzi has become a monster?"
"Hard to say……"
According to the previous rules, every time Weird transfers, the previous host will be devoured, but... the answer raises new questions——
"The weirdness has been transferred. Why is Tongzi Dalin still alive and well? Unless she is weird, or she has cracked the weird rules?"
"Well, look at the direction of her movements," Ye Ying kept switching videos, "It seems that she is heading towards the weird..."
"Is this a bizarre incident that has happened in other cities? Hitomi Obayashi is the investigator in charge of this case?" the answer continued.
I quickly entered the grotesque related situations into the national information database, but did not find any similar grotesque information.
However, the system also fed back another piece of useful information:
The night before yesterday, [The Man-Eating Demon Kumada Nobuhiko in the Ghost Fog] suddenly appeared in an apartment in Lidu City. Hitoko Obayashi rushed there. After assisting the local special investigation section in solving the weird incident, he mysteriously disappeared outside the apartment. .
The system's interface even uploaded a video of when Dalin Tongzi disappeared - he disappeared out of thin air, without any warning, as if he was taken away directly by an invisible hand.
"Why did Dalin Tongzi suddenly disappear?"
Whenever this happens, Ye Ying knows that the curiosity of the questioner will be aroused by weird things, and he must find an answer.
"Is it related to Nobuhiko Kumada? He disappeared the night before yesterday. So where did Hitoko Obayashi go during the period when he disappeared again? What happened? Did the weirdness at Nakano Station focus on her from that period? Or, in fact, , she also just discovered that weird thing when she came here?"
"The video surveillance room is also connected to the broadcast system,"
Yeying has already walked to the control console on the other side and started tinkering, "We can try to contact Dalin Tongzi."
"Miss Hitomi,"
Yeying picked up the phone and cleared his throat, "Can you hear my voice?"
"Wow, she's looking at the camera!"
Yeying said with some surprise: "She can hear my voice."
"Yes," the answer also looked over, "and her expression does not seem to be weird... So, if it is not weird, how did Obayashi Hitomi appear in Dongdu City out of thin air?
emmmm...put aside these doubts for the time being, maybe we can join forces with Dalin Tongzi,"
The answer was with his hands in his pockets, "If the grotesque can be introduced into a narrow enclosed space..."
"Oops!"
Ye Ying pointed to the surveillance screen in another small window, "Weird, no, it should be said that Weird is running towards Dalin Tongzi with his host."
At the moment, the object of the grotesque lodging is a uniformed station worker. His face was full of panic, and he ran so fast that he actually left a string of afterimages behind him.
Yeying compared the shots on both sides - the two people would probably meet at the next corner.
"Miss Hitomi!"
Yeying held the microphone, his voice serious and urgent: "Please turn around immediately, the weirdness is ahead!"
Just kidding, there's a good chance that the investigator will turn into a grotesque if he's killed. If an investigator like Hitoko Obayashi, who could deal with C-level monsters on his own, turned into a monster... he would probably be even scarier than the monster currently wandering around the station.
Dalin Tongzi glanced at the camera with his peripheral vision and accelerated his speed.
"Is she crazy?" Yeying asked in shock, "Still didn't hear it?"
The next moment, Weirdness and the host turned around and ran in the opposite direction - obviously, Weirdness sensed Tongzi Dalin. Moreover, it seemed to be afraid of Dalin Tongzi.
Dalin Tongzi rushed out of the passage, turned to look to the right, and chased Weird.
"It's too outrageous..."
Ye Ying opened his mouth wide, "I read that right..."
Weird...Avoiding human pursuit?
In the surveillance footage, Weibo was obviously running faster, and Dalin Tongzi was gradually pulled away from him.
"Well... this Dalin Tongzi doesn't seem to be particularly good at physical fitness. We have to find a way to help her..."
Judging from the direction of the weird escape, it seems to be the exit on the other side. Ye Ying quickly switched to the surveillance over there. There were also many passengers who were eager to leave the station gathered at the exit. There were panic faces near the light curtain.
Ye Ying continued to watch the surveillance along the way, analyzing the weird speed and path, and ran forward ten meters before turning into the next passage.
There seems to be a figure hiding in the passage. In other words, Weirdness will soon be able to switch hosts again, and the speed can be faster... If this continues, it will only become more and more difficult for Dalin Tongzi to catch up with Weirdness.
After a few steps, Weirdness rushed to the entrance of the passage.
A metal crutch suddenly swept over.
A cold light flashed, and the metal crutch knocked the weird, no, should I say weird host to the ground with a stick.
"answer!!!"
Ye Ying quickly turned around to look at the person beside him, but he didn't know when he had disappeared.
Turning back to look at the surveillance screen, I saw that the boarded station staff had fallen to the ground and turned into a puddle of human skin in clothes.
Answer walked out of the passage slowly and looked up at the camera that Ye Ying was monitoring.
Facing the camera, he held up the brim of his deerstalker hat.
What time is it, and I still have the time to say hello. Ye Ying was speechless.
At this time, a gray light suddenly emerged from the human skin and instantly rushed towards the answer.
"Get out of the way!"
Ye Ying's exclamation reached the other end of the broadcast through the microphone.
But he seemed not to hear the answer at all. When the gray light was about to penetrate his body, his body suddenly bent backwards and twisted to the extreme in an instant, avoiding the gray light.
Then, the metal crutch flicked, and the next moment, the answer appeared behind Dalin Tongzi.
He raised his leg and kicked Dalin Tongzi's back violently.
Dalin Tongzi immediately caught up with Hui Mang.
"really……"
In the monitoring room, Ye Ying shook his head, "I really have your answer."
Outside the passage, under the camera, Dalin Tongzi, flying in mid-air, stretched out his hand towards Hui Mang.
A mouth with exposed teeth appeared in the palm of her hand. She opened it wide at this moment and took in the gray light that she couldn't avoid in one bite...
"this……"
Ye Ying's eyes widened and he leaned on the screen, almost getting in to see——
I saw the mouth closed, swallowed the gray light, and chewed...
Chew it... Chew it...
"Sorry just now,"
Answer put away his crutches and walked to Dalin Tongzi, stretched out his hand, "I am Answer, a Dongdu detective."
Bidige
"Xiaosheng Dalin Tongzi..."
Dalin Tongzi subconsciously stretched out his dominant right hand, then realized something, quickly retracted it, and replaced it with his left hand, "Investigator from Beihai."
"I know that I have been cooperating very closely with Dongdu's Bizarre Investigation Department. This is the letter of recommendation they gave me and the pass from Dongdu Metropolitan Police Department to assist in the investigation of weird incidents..."
Answer took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Hitoko Obayashi, "We retrieved your information from the system database. You are the full-time investigator to deal with Kumada Nobuhiko. The information shows that you rushed to Lidu City to deal with Kumada the night before. Nobuhiko’s incident and his subsequent disappearance—I think you have the answer I want.”
"Answer?"
"I want to see your hands."
"..."
On the other end of the video surveillance, Ye Ying shook his head, tapped his fingers on the console, turned around and left the monitoring room.
"Look directly?"
Dalin Tongzi frowned. As she finished speaking, she felt that the man seemed to have released his restraints on her, and she could control her body.
"Miss Hitoko, please don't misunderstand me!"
A woman wearing an exaggerated sun hat and large sunglasses stepped on high heels and jumped in a few zigzags. "I am Ye Ying, the investigator in charge of the Nakano Station case from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Mr. Answer is our special detective. The person assisting in this case...you should have heard my voice just now, right? From the radio...this is my ID..."
…
This is a white and delicate hand. In the palm of the hand is a mouth with red lips. There are teeth in the mouth. Inside the teeth is a gray eye that exudes a devouring aura.
"are you done?"
Dalin Tongzi spread his hands in front of him, "I think you'd better hurry up, because I haven't completely controlled it yet..."
"immediately."
The answer is holding a notebook that is yellow in color and obviously has some age, and draws the [eye in the mouth] on it.
His painting skills are very good, and every detail of the mouth and eyes is lifelike, as if the "eyes in the mouth" were reflected directly on the notebook from Obayashi Hitomi's hands.
On the other side, Yeying dialed the phone with trembling hands——
"Hey, Minister, a breaking news..."
"Absolutely awesome..."
"Someone accommodates the weird..."
