In the storage room of Gu Xing's house in Shibuya Apartment.
The moment the black hole disappeared over Central Park, the small hole placed in the corner also disappeared almost at the same time.
This disappearance came so suddenly, and the small hole only had time to hand out a note from the opening that was about to close, and then the wall became smooth, as if the small hole had never appeared.
What happened in front of him was completely beyond Gu Xing's expectation. Whether it was the big hole in the sky or the small hole in the apartment, he thought they would exist forever. Even if he died, they would exist forever.
After experiencing a brief panic, Gu Xing calmed down, turned around and looked around, and found Eijiro, Kumada Nobuhiko, grandma, Yosuke, Haye... The weirdness in the family did not disappear with the disappearance of the small hole.
He felt a little more at ease, picked up the last note left for him by Xiao Dong from the ground, and read it——
[Gu Xingjun, I’m sorry, I can’t walk with you for the time being.
This departure was not due to Hong Shi's stubborn intrusion, but for another reason.
Considering that I will not be able to give you timely reminders and warnings for a long time to come, some long-hidden secrets must be informed to Gu Xingjun in advance without planning.
The following text may subvert Gu Xingjun's knowledge, but there is nothing untrue about it.
The world is a cycle, and so is fate.
In fact, this is not the first time, Gu Xingjun, that you have discovered this small hole in the basement of your Nara apartment. It is not the first time that you have inserted your fingers into the small hole and used it as a guide to poke a big hole in the sky. It is also not the first time that you have held The purpose of punishing evil, promoting good, and promoting justice begins this trial of life.
Not even just the second or third time...
The reason why reincarnation keeps restarting is very complex, but also very simple——
This world is not like what you see in front of you. In addition to the terrifying and disorderly weirdness, there are also enemies hidden in some dark corners that we have gone through several reincarnations and searched hard for, but have never found.
To be honest, we still don’t know if it’s him or her;
I don’t know if the opponent is human, grotesque, or something else.
All we know is that he is cunning, insidious, powerful, and difficult to defeat.
Because of "him"'s existence, even though the stories of each trial are different, they all end in our failure. Every time the reincarnation restarts after that, it will be at the cost of one of Gu Xingjun's best friends disappearing from this world forever.
Even if she is reincarnated again, she will never exist again and disappear from almost everyone's memory forever.
To this day, I can't bear to tell Gu Xingjun how many friends you have lost forever; nor can I bear to tell you them or their names.
Reincarnation cannot be restarted indefinitely, it will get closer and closer to the final completion moment. Gu Xingjun, we can't lose anymore.
Therefore, in this reincarnation that is infinitely close to the end, I will meet you in this capacity, trying to help you and guide you to the final victory.
Unfortunately, the rest of the journey is up to you. Gu Xingjun, I can't determine how long I will be away, I can't determine the date of my return, and I can't determine what I can do to appear in your sight again.
I vaguely feel that my disappearance this time is related to 'he' detecting your existence in secret. This is an extremely dangerous signal.
Maybe, I'll be back tomorrow morning.
Or maybe, I will come back only when you defeat 'him', when you achieve the final victory in this trial of life. If Gu Xingjun is still looking forward to meeting me again, then please keep working hard.
Finally, although the black hole is no more, I leave you with this note. As long as the triggering conditions are met, Gu Xingjun will still be the weird describer in this world.
PS: You were once curious about my identity, but I never told you the answer. But in fact, you have already seen me in this reincarnation, or will soon see me who has not yet entered the black hole.
Do you find it interesting? I look forward to Gu Xingjun finding the answer himself]
Gu Xing read the note many times, trying to get more information from it.
Gu Xing believed everything Xiaodong said. At least, most of them are things that actually happened. Because when Gu Xing saw these words, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if the reincarnation of fate was happening again.
Now that he knows the existence of the "enemy", he will definitely be cautious from now on.
He was a little curious about why he didn't defeat "him" in the past, and couldn't even find "him" and clarify "his" identity... Could it be that with the help of Xiaodong and the identity of [Weird Describer], Gu Xing Still no match for that "enemy"?
No matter what, Gu Xing will never let tragedy happen again in this reincarnation.
Although he couldn't remember what happened in each previous reincarnation, the specific scenes and the friends who left forever, but just looking at the note in front of him and the delicate and familiar handwriting on it, Gu Xing felt a great feeling in his heart. Sadness and regret.
He had never seen the enemy Xiaodong mentioned, but that didn't stop him from hating "him" extremely.
"Dongzi,"
Gu Xing whispered to the note: "Are you still there? Can you hear me?"
Xiaodong stopped answering.
On the note, the paragraph written by Xiao Dong to Gu Xing disappeared.
Someone, with cold, mechanical and clear handwriting, wrote down the total number of lifespan Gu Xing had at this moment on the note——
Eleven thousand and thirty-two years and four months.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning..."
Will the hole come back tomorrow morning? This was a possibility she raised in the note. Gu Xing held optimistic expectations.
In Zao Hui's company, Gu Xing fell asleep lying on the floor of the storage room.
This was the first time he spent the night in the storage room after moving to the Shibuya apartment, and it was also the first time he did not refuse Haye's company. At this time, Gu Xing hated being alone.
Throughout the night, Haye seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
She leaned against the wall of the storage room and sat down with her legs bent. The wall behind her was where Gu Xing had placed the small hole.
Gu Xing lay on the floor and put his head on one of Zao Hui's legs. It was a very wonderful touch, soft and firm, exuding a calming and calming atmosphere.
Surrounded by this breath, Gu Xing temporarily forgot about a major setback that had just happened in his career. Accompanied by Zao Hui's gentle whispers and songs, he fell asleep, his snoring sounding particularly sweet.
The next morning, Gu Xing woke up from a sweet dream in which he had achieved a hearty victory over his "enemy". Zaohui still maintained the sitting position that Gu Xing had before going to bed last night.
Gu Xing sat up, and Zao Hui moved away, looking at the original location of the small hole together.
At this time, there was just a white wall, exactly the same as the one in Gu Xing's basement.
The claustrophobic space and familiar scenes made Gu Xing feel like he was in another world, as if time had gone back a few months before the hole had appeared.
At that time, Gu Xing was still an ordinary policeman, a salaryman working hard to pay off his loans, and a white paper like a wall.
Creating grotesques and punishing evil and promoting good seemed like a fantasy to him.
…
A few days after the black hole disappeared, the Weird Research Department's "Weird Memory Clearance Operation" gradually began to launch.
As a registered human being with grotesque abilities, Gu Xing has the right to preserve the memories of all the grotesque events he has experienced in the past few months, but the premise is that he must go to the Bizarre Investigation Section of the Lidu City Police Headquarters to register in person.
At the registration office of the police headquarters, Gu Xing met Shengzi, who had come to register with him.
This pretty policewoman who has decided to work in both bizarre and criminal investigations is obviously more qualified than Gu Xing to preserve her own memory.
But after meeting by chance at the registration office and completing the registration process to preserve the memory, the Holy Son personally told Gu Xing:
"Maybe one day, I will take the initiative to apply for memory erasure."
"Why?" Gu Xing asked.
"You know," the Son said, "the amnestics all over the world are not actually instruments, but a kind of weirdness. In other words, they are some kind of derivative of weird rules in solid instruments."
"Well, this is the first time I've heard of it."
"so,"
The Holy Son looked at Gu Xing,
"The effect of the amnesiac on human memory is not simply to erase it according to the time range, but to rationally repair, improve, or even tamper with the human memory after deleting all memories related to weirdness. This is to ensure that every person whose memory has been erased will not feel any discomfort or unnatural feeling when recalling that memory and scene.”
This is by no means a deletion of memory in the simple sense.
It is not only to organize the memory of each individual, but also to ensure that the memories of the same period and the same event between people are connected and consistent with each other, and there are no loopholes. Only complex and bizarre rules can do this.
Only in this way can the entire human society still feel no sense of disobedience and maintain a natural and harmonious operating order after collectively deleting a large number of memories.
"Don't you think,"
A spring-like smile suddenly appeared on Shengzi's face, just like when Gu Xing first saw her on the steps outside the basement of the Nara apartment.
"With such amnesia, it's like being reborn. Everything is brand new and you can start over again——
There is no need to regret for the recklessness and impulsiveness of the past, no need to regret for the past that should not have been known, and no need to deliberately avoid anything. It couldn't be fresher or more wonderful. "
At that time, Gu Xing did not carefully appreciate the profound meaning of the Holy Son's words. He looked at the Holy Son in front of him, who had a very different temperament from the past, and an incredible thought came to his mind. Could it be——
The Son is the little hole.
He carefully recalled the last sentence on the note Xiaodong wrote to himself:
[In fact, you have already seen me in this reincarnation, or will soon see me who has not yet entered the black hole]
Xiaodong is undoubtedly a woman, and she is probably a woman that Gu Xing has seen before, or is acquainted with, or even very familiar with.
The Son fits the bill perfectly.
Gu Xing continued to recall the message left by the small hole on the note——
I have never walked into a black hole.
In other words, the little hole was an ordinary woman before entering the black hole.
"Gu Xingjun,"
The Holy Son waved his hand in front of Gu Xing's eyes, "What are you thinking about?"
"oh,"
Gu Xing came back to his senses, "Nothing, I suddenly thought of an old friend who just traveled far away."
"Is it Mr. Red Shirt?"
"Did you also hear about the red shirt?"
"Well, within the weird investigation system, the matter of Lord Red Shirt has a profound impact, and everyone is quite controversial about this incident."
The Holy Son said: "To be honest, Mr. Red Shirt and I had some misunderstandings before.
However, those misunderstandings had long been resolved at the training ground of the [Weird Reincarnator].
As for her adventure into the black hole this time, I admire her very much - in order to break free from the shackles of fate, she did not give up the bottom line and look for a scapegoat, but upheld her own conscience, gave it a go, and had a clear conscience. I really can't Appreciate it again.
By the way, Gu Xingjun can still see it, right?"
The Holy Son pointed to the blood-colored chain on his chest. Compared with the one on the chest of the red shirt, the color of this chain was much lighter. This was probably because the Holy Son had just triggered the weird reincarnator rules not long ago.
"Its color will become darker and darker, and the closer it is to the time when the reincarnation trial field appears, the darker it will be. It really looks like a blood-like life countdown, making people breathless all the time.
Therefore, I can understand the feelings of the red-shirted adults more and more. if,"
She subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the sky above Central Park - what she saw at the moment was just the ceiling of the registration office.
"If that black hole appears again in the future...
Then, when it appears again, and I am still lucky to be alive, I think I will probably be like the man in red shirt, riding a flying motorcycle, mustering up all my courage, and diving into the black hole without hesitation. "
Not long after Gu Xing and Shengzi separated, the "Weird Memory Erasure Operation" was launched in batches... Gu Xing never expected that the day when he would leave the Criminal Division of Jing'an Police Station would come so quickly...
————
(Awkward, I wrote another 3,500 words, and there is still 500 words left that I haven’t had time to write. I will post a 500-word extra first, and I will make up the remaining 500 words before 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. Sorry, sorry)
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.
