Gu Xing did not expect that the day of his resignation would come so quickly.
That was a week after the frogman came to the Criminal Division of Jing'an Police Station with an amnestic device and pressed the switch button on every criminal police officer.
The colleagues in the Criminal Division have completely forgotten the many past events in their minds about the wood chipper Fujino, the weird taxi, and Kumada Nobuhiko, and are naturally living in a world where weirdness has never existed. The only thing is that some things are not much different from the past. The same thing is——
Murder cases have occurred somewhat frequently recently, and key evidence in many cases is missing, making it difficult to find the murderer;
Several colleagues, including Tetsuo, Naoki, Hidero, Ueno, and Ryozo, resigned due to various reasons and gradually lost contact. It is said that some of them have encountered unexpected events and passed away;
Taito Yasui's daughter, Haruka Yasui, was killed by a serial murderer named Ikuguchi Tateto. Taito Yasui vowed to find the murderer, but the murderer seemed to have sunk into the sea.
Colleagues in the Criminal Division seem to be busier, but like other members of this country and society whose memories have been erased, they naturally adapt as time goes by.
Only Anda was uneasy.
He always felt that something was not quite right about his work and life. The feeling was extremely uncomfortable, as if he had unknowingly forgotten an extremely important person and an extremely important thing in his life.
"Gu Xingjun,"
Anda said to Gu Xing more than once: "I always feel that I have forgotten something."
When Anda asked this question, Gu Xingduo was looking through Chuixun's case file, and then replied without raising his head: "That must be an illusion."
"It's absolutely true, I definitely have an unforgettable lover,"
Anda slammed the table, "But I just can't remember who she is, what her name is, what she does, and what she looks like."
Gu Xing finally raised his head and looked at him.
"Can you understand how I feel?"
Anda looked at Gu Xing's eyes and always felt that there was something special in his eyes.
"My sixth sense told me that that woman was next to me, or next to the people around me. I often saw her at one time. She was super beautiful, super capable, super powerful, super tasteful, and super connotative. She has a great story... In short, she is definitely the top kind of woman in the world."
"emmm..." Gu Xing nodded.
"You believe me, right," Anda held Gu Xing's hand, "Gu Xingjun?"
"What do you think of the super woman you describe,"
Gu Xing pulled out his hand from Anda's plier-like hand,
"I will fall in love with an ordinary policeman who is still renting an apartment, has a pitiful monthly salary, is below the average height, is not very handsome, and leaves early and comes home late all day long... uh, uh... put your hands away... I I'm going to...suffocate..."
"Asshole!" Anda said angrily: "You are still joking, I am serious. I am a poor person who has lost a lover whom I love to the core of my bones."
During that time, Anda could dream of the woman he loved to the core every night.
But even in the dream, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly. A layer of mist shrouded the woman's face, like a veil of mystery.
Anda could only painstakingly recall the love and beauty he once had but now lost from the woman's slim figure, cold temperament, and strong body.
Anda also carefully observed the women he came into contact with, or those beautiful women who had a chance encounter, trying to find the shadow of his true love in them, but found that they were either beautiful, cute, or mature and coquettish, but none of them were like him. Having that kind of super charisma.
So he often came to Gu Xing's house drunk late at night, babbled about his uneasiness, loss and pain, and described to Gu Xing the appearance of the woman he loved deeply he saw in his dreams.
Anda always describes in great detail, and the content is all about a woman's temperament, feeling, self-cultivation, body shape... Whenever he describes the facial appearance, he will definitely fall into silence at the end of his words.
On this day, Anda once again stopped the description he had repeated countless times at the same place where he always stopped. Even he himself felt that it was too boring to continue talking like this.
"never mind,"
He burped, "I'm going back to sleep. Maybe I'll see her face in my dream today."
"It's too late, sleep here."
When Gu Xing said this, Haye was sitting on his left and Nobuhiko Kumada was sitting on his right. The two had weird and sleepy expressions on their faces... Adachi's narration was really sleepy.
"Just kidding,"
Anda waved his hand, "Have you forgotten? I slept at your house last time. I didn't dream at all when I slept here. It's really strange... If I don't dream, how can I see that 'Miss'?" It won’t happen.”
It was already midnight when Anda walked out of the apartment door.
Gu Xing was not sure about letting him leave alone, so he arranged for Eijiro Kita to disguise himself as an ordinary taxi driver and pull him into the taxi, and asked Nobuhiko Kumada to sit in the co-pilot and escort him all the way.
After getting off the car near the rental house and walking towards the place where he rented a house, something happened to Anda——
The grotesque sculpture that Saury is investigating has somehow latched onto this poor man who insists that he has lost the love of his life.
It is disguised as the statue of a severed arm in the square in front of Anda Apartments.
When Anda passed by the square, he never noticed the strangeness of the statue.
After he walked past the statue, he faintly noticed an oppressive aura surrounding him.
Anda immediately stopped and turned around, finding that the statue he had passed by had inexplicably gotten a little closer.
He immediately sobered up and stared at the statue:
It was a statue of an angel with a broken arm, placed in the fountain in the center of the square, and the dim light of the street lamp shone on her face.
The smile on her face was vivid and lively. When Anda looked at her, her broken arm regenerated and opened her arms, making people want to throw themselves into her arms.
What is incredible is that no matter which angle Anda looks at the sculpture, the sculpture's eyes are always staring at him.
Anda instinctively sensed the danger, and felt a chill in his back. He decided to muster up the courage to act before he was completely conquered by the sculpture... He turned around and hurried towards the apartment door.
After walking only a few steps, when he looked back at the spot where the statue stood just now, the statue had disappeared without a trace.
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward, but felt the suffocating pressure again, and his head couldn't help but look back again.
At this time, the sculpture appeared again, a little closer than before.
Damn it. Anda muttered.
After struggling for a while in the square in front of the apartment, the sculpture was only a stone's throw away from him.
The fear and suffocation made him lose the ability to move. His footsteps stopped at the door of the apartment and he collapsed on the ground.
He waited for the moment when he would fall into the arms of the angel sculpture and then doom would come, but he did not wait for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that only a pair of feet of the sculpture were left on the ground, jumping towards the darkness.
The suffocating sense of oppression also disappeared. Anda gained the ability to move again, got up in a hurry, got through the apartment door, and ran back to his home in one breath.
Early the next morning, he used his police ID to retrieve the video surveillance in front of the apartment the night before, only to discover that the statue had been in the fountain in the center of the square from beginning to end.
As for himself, as if he had seen a ghost, he acted ugly in front of the apartment door, panicked and paralyzed, until he finally ran into the apartment door in a hurry.
"Oh shit,"
After watching the video several times, Anda concluded:
"I must have had too much to drink."
…
It was Nobuhiko Kumada who had been following Adachi since he got off Eijiro's taxi, and saved his life.
Nobuhiko Kumada was loyal to the instructions given by Gu Xing before he left home and followed Anda within three meters. Soon the grotesque sculpture locked onto Anda.
Kumada Nobuhiko should have simply eaten the statue, but the other party's rules seemed to restrain his gaze——
Whenever Kumada Nobuhiko's cannibalistic eyes stare at the sculpture, the sculpture will mysteriously disappear from his sight.
Once looked at, it disappears. Complete victory over Nobuhiko Kumada.
So, he could only stay beside Adachi like a piece of wood, until the weird sculpture appeared next to Adachi. At the moment when he was about to hold him in his arms, Kumada Nobuhiko saw the absence of the rule of "disappearing when looked at". At that moment, he opened his mouth and swallowed it without hesitation.
After the sculpture was swallowed by Nobuhiko Kumada, it appeared in the storage room of Gu Xing's house.
Looking at her smiling face, Gu Xing also noticed a strange sense of oppression and immediately got out of the storage room.
"Look, we got an unlucky thing..." he muttered.
There's another book on the weird bookshelf.
The title of the book that only Gu Xing can see is: "Collection of Weird Stories of the Smiling Angel".
The title of the book that others can see is: "Amélie" (script version).
The weird name is Smiling Angel.
The preface of the book records the rules of the Smiling Angel:
This is an ancient weird race that likes to steal humans and take them to another parallel space. The one captured by Nobuhiko Kumada was very young, equivalent to a human being's newborn baby period.
Rule 1: When the Smiling Angel is watched, she does not exist in this world. When people look at her, she will turn into an angel sculpture. When people turn their heads or blink, the smiling angel will choose the opportunity to return to the world and can continue to move. She will keep getting closer to the person targeted by the killing rules until she holds him or her in her arms (E).
Rule 2: The smiling angel will randomly appear in a corner of the city every day, either in a square, a park, a fountain, a lawn, or under a street lamp. When the first passerby passes by her, He will be locked by her killing rules (E+).
Rule 3: In fact, the Smiling Angel never kills anyone. She just holds people in her arms and then sends them into another parallel time and space. Of course, in a sense, he did "die" in the original time and space.
Sometimes, the smiling angel will take away people's souls and bodies; sometimes, they will take away only the soul, and then inject the soul into the body of the deceased in the parallel world to realize the resurrection of the deceased.
In another parallel time and space, the Smiling Angel will appear next to the traveler from time to time in an invisible form, observing all his activities in the other world, and learning from the experience of the other person's struggle or success. Find fun in it.
Some Internet writers are well aware of the mystery. They call the phenomenon of body and soul descending into a parallel world together as physical travel, and the phenomenon of soul traveling alone as soul travel.
This kind of prank of taking humans through other worlds is the game that Smiling Angels are most passionate about in their lives and never tire of. It is also an important way for them to improve their own rules level.
Those high-level smiling angels can even bring an entire universe to another parallel time and space, thus causing an epic cosmic chaos (E+).
Gu Xing couldn't help but think that if Anda knew these interesting rules, with his cheerful personality, he would probably ask the smiling angel to give him a warm hug.
What makes Gu Xing a little creepy is the last rule of Smiling Angel:
Rule 4: This smiling angel comes from a mysterious box that can continuously release weirdness. When she was contained and restricted, the owner of the square box could feel her loss of control, but it was difficult to find her specific location. Perhaps, one day, a new smiling angel will emerge from the box in her place (A).
This was the first time Gu Xing saw the weird rules of Class A in his books.
The first thought that came to his mind was: Who is the owner of the square box?
Obviously, the owner of the square box also has the ability to release or create weirdness, and is by no means a simple opponent.
Could he be the enemy Xiaodong mentioned?
It's very possible, but the book "Amélie" doesn't reveal any more information.
The square box can continuously release grotesques, which means that there are still many grotesques from square boxes in this world.
Gu Xing planned to follow this clue to investigate secretly. Since he could find the weirdness of the first square box, he could find the second one. If you check them one by one, you can always get a glimpse of the owner of the square box.
Of course, during the investigation, Gu Xing must insist on hiding behind the scenes to avoid being noticed by the other party.
After sharing books, Gu Xing decided...
