The day Red Shirt entered the black hole, Frogman went to the experimental site in Central Park to say goodbye to her.
Also going to the scene to say goodbye were all the investigators from the Lidu Bizarre Investigation Section.
Crow, Saury, Dongluo, and Zhenyi were all present. Even Zhengyi, who had been entangled with Yunu recently, hurried over.
In fact, according to the plan of the National Police Agency's Bizarre Research Department, this is a highly confidential experiment that needs to limit the insiders to a small range.
Blockades have been set up at all borders of Central Park, and optical conversion instruments that can distort light and scenes have been deployed to ensure that citizens outside the park see the scene as normal - they can see black holes as before, but that's just The illusion produced by the interplay of light and shadow.
Even though the Bizarre Research Department has solicited the willingness of all investigators to become experimental volunteers, the specific time, method, process and results of the experiment will be locked in a safe until the National Police Agency has reviewed and approved it.
No one knows what consequences the experiment will have - whether it will be inhumane, whether an excellent grotesque investigator will be sacrificed in vain, whether new grotesques will be born. Or, can we really find a way to fundamentally solve the human dilemma? Everything is unknown.
In fact, if it were not for the unprecedented pressure brought by the chaos and grotesqueness represented by [The Headless Witch], this experiment would never have come so quickly... In short, before the official results are produced, the confidentiality level is necessary Set it higher.
The only people who can watch the live broadcast of the experiment are a few members of the Investigator Elders Committee, several officers of the National Police Agency, the director of the National Police Agency's Bizarre Investigation Department, the entire Bizarre Research Department... about eighty or ninety people are qualified to watch.
Crow, Justice and others are not included in this list.
Mikami Mashi once asked Hong Shi's opinion to see if it was necessary to arrange for relatives and friends to come to the scene. Hong Shi refused. The reason she never said aloud was that once the farewell was formal, it would be like a memorial service held in advance.
After Zhengyi learned about this, he used his unique personality charm and superb mediation methods to win several spots for the Lidu Bizarre Investigation Section to watch the live broadcast. Of course, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement.
On the morning of the experiment, at around five o'clock, the sky was very gloomy, making people very sleepy.
The frogman set his alarm clock and drove to Central Park early in the morning. He hadn't set an alarm clock for a long time, and the weird investigator's time was relatively free. If there is an emergency, the operator's call will act as an alarm clock.
He hasn't driven a car himself for a long time. The drivers assigned to each investigator by the headquarters are highly skilled, professional and dedicated, and very easy to use.
When we arrived at the central testing ground in the park, it was already busy. National Police Agency researchers and staff are debugging a variety of complex equipment. The early morning lost the tranquility it should have presented.
Among the investigators from the Lidu Bizarre Investigation Section, Frogman was the second to arrive at the scene.
Before him, Saury seemed to have been here for a long time, leaning on a railing in the park, reading a comic book "Summer Book of Friends" in his hand. Perhaps because he stood quietly for a long time, a thin layer of dew condensed on his leather shoes.
The frogman felt a slight chill from the thin dew.
"Hey," Frogman walked up to Saury, "I remember you've read this comic before."
"In terms of content, it deserves multiple viewings."
"When did you come here?" The frogman also leaned on the railing.
"There was a case about a weird sculpture last night," said Saury, "I'll be here when it's over."
"Last night? What time?"
"It's about three o'clock in the morning."
"Wow, you are really... By the way, what's the deal with the grotesque sculptures?"
"It's not clear yet,"
Saury turned a page of the comic, "It seems to be a strange sculpture that when you look at it, it turns into a stone sculpture. If you don't look at it, it will sneak up on you until it hugs you... There are already two people. Because this weirdness is missing.
At present, it only appears once a week, only targets one person at a time, has no range attack, and the impact will not be too great. "
"That's okay," the frogman said, taking out a pack of cigarettes from his arms. "Speaking of sculptures, do you remember the first case we and Red Shirt investigated?"
"Well, that's a sculpture of the living dead," Saury's expression froze for a moment, "I remember you haven't smoked for a long time."
The frogman lit the lighter, pointed it at the cigarette butt, and lit a cigarette with some unfamiliarity. "We were just assistants at that time, and that sculpture scared me terribly. Do you remember, the investigator who led us at that time..."
"The tire, he's had a flat tire for years."
"I miss it so much," Frogman blew out a smoke ring, "our youthful days. That guy from Tire actually told me that weird investigators will never die...liar..."
Around seven o'clock in the morning, Zhengyi, Crow, Zhenyi, and Dongluo arrived one after another, and the frogmen and everyone walked towards the innermost experimental site.
"This guy in red shirt... still owes me several missions," Crow said, "Do you want to pay back the rest?"
The sky is still gloomy. Normally it would rain in this kind of weather, but strangely, not a drop of rain has fallen so far today.
Six investigators stood at the edge of the core area of the experimental site, stretching their necks to look inside.
Soon after, Hong Shi, who was wearing complex equipment and debugging the flying motorcycle, finally saw a few colleagues. She waved her hand in this direction with a face full of joy.
Soon, she put down the helmet in her hand and ran briskly towards her companions, "They never told me - why are you here?"
"How can you miss this scene of putting your poisonous tongue into a black hole?" said the frogman.
"My mouth really stinks..."
"But non-toxic."
Everyone talked for a while, and it felt like there was always something to talk about.
"Lord Red Shirt," a staff member from the Weird Research Department ran over, "it's time."
"Take this." The frogman stuffed the red gloves he had prepared into Red Shirt's arms. "This thing is my lucky charm."
Saury also handed the "Summer Book of Friends" into Crow's hands.
"goodbye,"
As Hong Shi walked inside, he waved his gloves and "Summer Book of Friends" at everyone, "When we meet again, maybe I can save the world by myself."
Looking at her leaving figure, the frogman suddenly thought: Red Shirt is just another weird investigator who has taken the initiative to go to the end since he entered this industry. The reason why she is so unforgettable to him is probably because she wanted to escape from the bloody world. The efforts made to break free from the trials were too vivid and fresh.
She said that if she came back alive and found nothing, she would look for the scapegoat without hesitation. The frogman felt that although this was cruel and cold-blooded, it was much better than never seeing Red Shirt again.
Several companions tried to make a final effort to retain and dissuade Red Shirt before he took off. But thinking back to the pain and struggle she went through every time before entering the "Weird Reincarnation World", I felt that maybe her own decision was the right one.
An hour later, Hong Shi, who was riding a flying motorcycle, drove towards Black hole in the sky.
It was a picture full of memories and hallucinations. Everyone present recalled the scene a few months ago of the somewhat crazy and stubborn journalist riding a motorcycle towards a black hole.
Her silver helmet sparkled, her leather jacket was full of texture, and the mist emitted by the motorcycle's exhaust pipe drew a white rainbow in the air, and the figure became smaller and smaller.
The frogman thought this was an extremely ominous sign. He climbed over the fences and chased the motorcycle directly under it. He called the red shirt's name, but there was no response from the other party.
He tried to jump high, but he couldn't get more than ten meters off the ground. He wanted to mobilize a helicopter from the Oddity Investigation Section to come to the rescue, but found that the signal on his mobile phone had been blocked.
He rushed to the command podium and tried to grab the walkie-talkie that could communicate directly with the red shirt, but was stopped by the people on the side.
Gu Xingyu, who was hiding in the storage room of the Shibuya apartment, called out the name of the weird trader a thousand times in his mind, trying to recall the many past events that had happened since he and Hong Shi met, but he didn't trigger much emotion, warmth or joy. The most profound impression is the scene in the luxurious hotel early that morning when the other party pretended to be drunk to seduce him as a scapegoat.
At that time, Hong Shi was wearing a red windbreaker, exposing half of his shoulders and sexy shoulder straps; at this time, Hong Shi was wrapped up tightly, and with the delusion of saving the world and the dream of saving himself, he got in. In a black hole.
The moment the rear of the motorcycle entered the black hole, the live broadcast went black. Everything that Hong Shi could see was completely interrupted on the big screen on the ground. Even though he knew that there was a high probability that this would be the result, sighs of regret could still be heard at the scene.
"Signal!" The staff controlling the live broadcast screen shouted: "There is no signal!"
"Where's [Mark]?" Someone shouted, "Did [Mark] react?"
"No!"
Not long after Hong Shi entered the black hole, the edges of the black hole gradually blurred and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within about fifteen minutes, it completely disappeared into the sky.
All those watching the live broadcast at the scene and in front of the screen fell into shocked silence.
After the black hole disappeared, the gloomy weather that had been brewing for a long time finally started to rain, getting heavier and heavier, and finally turned into a heavy rain.
"My Healing Game"
"Oh my God,"
A weird investigator said: "The black hole is gone, can our amnesiac be used again..."
Several weird investigators from Lidu, headed by Frogman, gradually lost control of their emotions at the scene because they witnessed the sudden disappearance of the red shirts that they had not expected. Those weird researchers who were helpless were thrown to and fro. It was the powerful force of justice. The strength helps them wake up from the loss of control.
"That's the path Hong Shi chose," Zhengyi said, "She has to bear the consequences." Yes, it was Hong Shi's choice. The frogman finally woke up.
With the disappearance of the Lidu Black Hole, the [Black Hole] plan was temporarily put on hold.
A plan called "Operation Muggle Memory Erasure" is on the agenda of the National Police Agency...

The morning after Fujino was hanged by a wood chipper, Gu Xing went out for a run. When he came back, he bought rice balls and planned to take them to Chiyo before going to work.
"Dong dong dong!"
Chiyo opened the door with a smile on his face and a voice full of energy, "Gu Xingjun, good morning!"
Gu Xing was startled, feeling that something was wrong.
"Good morning," Gu Xing handed the rice ball to Chiyo, "I bought it while I was running. I have to go to work. If you need anything, call me anytime."
"Okay, be careful on the road!" Chiyo laughed.
Gu Xing turned around and took two steps, then suddenly turned to look at Chiyo, "Chiyo."
"Um?"
"Are you OK?"
"Don't worry," Chiyo waved his fist, "Yesterday's mistake can no longer be undone. I am determined to cheer up and look forward."
"Okay, come on."
Gu Xing went out, still feeling something was wrong.
He kept an eye on it, and after Chiyo closed the door, he returned to the room, changed into clothes he didn't usually wear before, and hid near the basement exit to observe.
Soon, Chiyo came out wearing a white dress with no expression on her face.
Gu Xing followed Qiandai from afar to the main street.
Chiyo stopped a taxi and got in it.
"Master," Gu Xing stopped another car from behind, "Follow the car in front, I'll pay three times the fare!"
"okay!"
Following Chiyo, Gu woke up and arrived at Uraga Bridge, the famous suicide bridge in Lidu.
The taxi ahead stopped and Chiyo stepped out.
"Master," Gu Xing hurriedly called to the driver, "stop the car quickly!"
Gu Xing paid the fare and walked out of the car.
Chiyo has climbed over the railing of the bridge.
"Chiyo!" Gu Xing shouted, "No!"
Chiyo looked back at Gu Xing, waved to him, turned around and jumped into the cold Li River water.
Someone around noticed what was going on here and came over to where Chiyo jumped off the bridge.
"Someone jumped into the river again over there!"
"Another one? This is the third one this week."
"This girl is so fast, there's no time to stop her."
Gu Xing dragged off his clothes while running towards the place where Chiyo jumped from the bridge.
When we arrived at the bridge, we were only wearing our pants.
After climbing over the railing, Gu Xing jumped down.
The onlookers on the bridge started talking:
"I have been squatting on Uraga Bridge for so many years. This is the first time I see someone jumping to save a suicide. It is really unwise."
"The river is so fast, how can we save him? Another life will be lost."
"Put away the young man's clothes. There will be an explanation when the family comes."
"Hurry up and call the police..."
Gu Xing paraded in the cold Li River.
His water ability was not very good before, but the small hole strengthened his limb coordination, and his physical strength and speed were also significantly improved. The rapid river water did not cause him much trouble, but he felt somewhat at ease.
He sank into the water and soon saw Chiyo dressed in white.
Zha Mengzi swam over and grabbed Chiyo's hand.
Chiyo seemed to have lost consciousness, and Gu Xing pulled her to swim to the shore.
When they got to the shore, Gu Xing pressed on Qian Dai and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Soon, Chiyo vomited out a lot of water, woke up, and saw Gu Xing:
"Sorry, Gu Xingjun, I have caused you trouble again."
"Miss Chiyo,"
Gu Xing got off her body with a cold expression on his face. Of course, he might have been frozen.
"I had no intention of going out of my way to save someone who was determined to die. But you are his beloved person that Ryuichi-kun entrusted to me to protect.
Since I promised Ryuichi-kun, I must do it. I understand your desire to follow Takashi-kun and get it over with, that's fine. But I also implore you to think about those who want to keep their word and do their best. My water resistance is not very good, so it is not surprising that I drowned in the Li River. "
"I'm sorry, this will never happen again."
When Gu Xing returned to the bridge, his clothes were still there, neatly folded and placed where Chiyo jumped into the river.
Although a long time passed, there were still several people who wanted to know the result waiting at the same place. When they saw Fujino and Chiyo come back fine, they all screamed strangely.
After the Uraga Bridge jumping incident, Chiyo never thought of committing suicide again.
Although he often misses Long Yi, he can still smile naturally when he sees Gu Xing.
