St. Mary's Cathedral, first floor hall.
Makoto Karasawa sat cross-legged on the floor of the hall with thousands of others who had been betrayed.
"Ouch, ouch~"
Accompanied by a few childish fox calls, the magic circle under Karasawa Makoto flashed a bright light.
A moment later, the world in front of her was turned upside down, like an earthquake.
When everything returned to normal, she found that she had arrived at her home in the Nara Apartment in Lito City.
She remembered that she rarely lived here, and would only come here to escape alone during a certain period of time when the work schedule was too heavy and she was exhausted both physically and mentally.
But...since the ogre incident happened in the Nara Apartment, she has never been here again, and she even listed the property for sale online. Soon after, word spread that there was a man-eating monster hiding in the Nara apartment, making it almost impossible to sell the property.
At this moment, it was getting late outside the window, and Makoto Karasawa was applying a facial mask in front of the dressing table.
She felt everything was too weird and planned to stop and observe, but found that her body was still moving and was completely out of control.
She suddenly thought, is she possessed by a soul?
At this time, a camera suddenly appeared in front of him. A man opened the door and faced the camera with an extremely frightened expression on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the camera zoomed in, and the man's terrifying expression was magnified to the extreme.
The screen goes black.
The camera zooms out and the upper half of the man's head disappears.
There was a lot of blood on the lens, and the picture was bright red, as if it had been put on a red filter.
The camera zoomed in again, the screen went black, and zoomed out again. The rest of the man's head was gone, leaving only the part below the neck, covered in blood, standing stiffly.
Then, the previous scene was repeated, with the man being eaten one by one by a big mouth, until in the end, only two bloody feet were left.
Nobuhiko Kumada!
This name suddenly flashed in Karasawa Makoto's mind.
After the Nara Apartment Ogre incident, Makoto Karasawa's memory was erased for a certain period of time, but with the reappearance of the Lito Black Hole, she gradually recalled it, and even recalled many details from that time.
Looking at the scene in front of her, there was no doubt that she seemed to have returned to that horrible night - the horrible night when she came to the Nara apartment because she was distressed by the scandal with Chida Ichiro.
Damn it, is this a dream? Is it an illusion? Or go back in time?
What happened next almost re-enacted the past scenes. The terrifying ogres were massacring people. The residents of the apartment kept scrolling in the group. Some people called the police, and some tried to escape or jump off the building...
Soon, footsteps sounded outside Makoto Karasawa's house.
Karasawa Makoto remembered clearly that the person who came at that time was the ogre. Fortunately, he did not come to Karasawa Makoto, but went to the next room.
She leaned against the door, her heart beating hard.
At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Is there anyone in this room? Please, let me in."
Karasawa Makoto said uncontrollably: "You are?"
Voice outside the door: "My code name is Alien, and I am a special investigator from the Lidu Police Headquarters. I am here to rescue you."
Karasawa Makoto was surprised - this time, she recognized the other party's voice. The person outside the door was Guangchuan Gu Xing.
But why would Gu Xing appear here at this time?
Besides, he should be a detective, right?
If Karasawa Makoto remembers correctly, when the ogre incident occurred, Gu Xing had not yet left Jing'an Police Station and was considered a patrol officer. When Karasawa Makoto presented a signed photo to the police officer named Shiratori, he heard the other person mention it Pass Guangchuan Gu Xing’s name.
No matter what, her body spoke for itself: "Is there any proof?"
Voice outside the door: "This is my ID. You can take a look through the peephole."
As soon as he finished speaking, the first-person live broadcast started again.
The terrifying ogre was running in the stairway. His footsteps were loud and fast, and he was about to rush over from the corridor door.
"Have you seen the live broadcast?"
Guangchuan Gu Xing paused for a moment, but his voice was still very calm, "You'd better hurry up, that Mr. Ogre will find this place soon. Although I have some special abilities, if he sees me , the probability of death is very high."
Karasawa Makoto quickly opened the peephole, and when she looked through the hole, the person standing outside the door was Gu Xing.
At this time, Gu Xing's face was slightly more mature than the one Karasawa Makoto was familiar with. He looked to be in his mid-thirties, wearing a gray coat, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and holding a Lidu police officer in his right hand. The ID card of the headquarters, and then flipped through the information on the mobile phone with his left hand.
Outrageous. Karasawa Makoto clearly remembered that Gu Xing never smoked.
But her body still opened the door, "Quick, please come in."
Guangchuan Gu Xing walked in while looking down at his phone.
Karasawa Makoto quickly closed the door, the terrifying live broadcast was immediately turned off, and the footsteps stopped.
"The mist is weird. The rule is that if you see it, you will be eaten from the top down. Standing upside down and looking in the mirror can't solve the problem."
Guangchuan Gu Xing murmured to himself, raised his head and looked at Karasawa Makoto, "Hey, you are... are you Miss Karasawa Makoto?"
Karasawa Makoto felt her heart beating wildly, and the fear that the ogre had almost come over enveloped the body she was temporarily inhabiting.
"It's me." Karasawa Makoto found that his voice was slightly trembling.
"I am a fan of your movies. I have watched your "Mysterious Island" at least ten times,"
Guangchuan Gu Xing put out his cigarette, "After you're done, can I get an autographed photo?"
Karasawa Makoto stared at Gu Xing. The investigator's temperament at this time was also slightly different from the one she was familiar with. If I had to give an accurate description, it would probably be - the person in front of me has a little more of a human spirit.
"certainly,"
Karasawa Makoto said: "What are you going to do next?"
Guangchuan Gu Xing: "There is only one way - let the other party fall within my rules."
Karasawa Makoto's phone vibrated. Looking at the screen, it turned out that the person in charge of the Lito Police Headquarters had joined the residents' group and sent a message:
[Dear residents of Nara Apartments, please do not panic. Our police headquarters has arranged for a special investigator codenamed "Alien" to infiltrate the apartment. The alien investigator has rich experience in handling bizarre incidents and has mastered rare rules and abilities. Please cooperate with his work and I believe he will be able to lead everyone out of danger safely]
At this moment, Karasawa Makoto was filled with doubts.
If her memory was correct, the investigator who sneaked into the Nara apartment should have been Hitomi Obayashi. So, what exactly is going on in this scene that really happened before us?
Was her memory tampered with? Or do parallel worlds similar to those set in American comics really exist?
