East Ying Weird Creation

Chapter 3 When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you
This day is really quite strange, Gu Xing wandered around the guard area of ​​the Central Park from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, and he didn't feel tired at all.

Because running tasks often required standing for a long time, Gu Xing's legs had already suffered from varicose veins, and he didn't have any symptoms of pain at the moment.

Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Gu Xing lifted his trouser legs, and found that the protruding blood vessels on his legs had faded a lot since then, and his calves were so healthy that he couldn't even imagine.

"It feels like being reborn... Bizarre and bizarre."

Except for the spectators who got too close from time to time, the order in the area Gu Xing was on duty also maintained good order, which was praised by the White Bird Police Department.

But the entire Li city is not very peaceful.

The smog outside the city enveloped the entire city, even the sky.

The municipal government has decided that the city night lights will be illuminated 24 hours a day.

The big dark hole above Central Park looks even more eerie amidst the bright lights.

Access out of the city is blocked.

There are bold citizens who forcibly drove through the traffic jam from the entrance of the expressway, but lost contact after driving into the smog.

The police officers on duty at the scene reported that they seemed to hear shrill and distant screams coming from the smog.

In this way, no one dares to break into the smog easily.

Fear spread among the citizens, and in some areas, citizens went to convenience stores to loot food and daily necessities.

The government and the police headquarters sent representatives to accept exclusive interviews on television to stabilize public opinion, and the grass-roots policemen who came back began to go door-to-door to comfort the frightened masses.

Soon, the government invited an expert in the field of natural science named Eiman Uematsu to accept an exclusive interview on the TV station. He attributed the black giant hole to the special impact of sunspots and flare activities.

"As we all know,"

Uematsu pointed to a popular science picture on the background screen, "This year is the peak year of solar activity. The peak period of sunspot activity, coupled with the intense activity of solar flares, will emit a large amount of ultraviolet rays, gamma rays, X-rays, Infrared rays, radio radiation, high-energy particle flow, and even particularly high-energy cosmic rays interact with the Earth's upper atmosphere, disturbing the Earth's magnetic field and causing magnetic storms.

We have every reason to believe that this huge black hole is the result of a powerful magnetic storm, which is a normal natural phenomenon. "

"Then," the host asked, "how do you explain the huge fingers protruding from the black hole last night? Many citizens have witnessed it with their own eyes."

"That's a mirage based on the phenomenon of the magnetic storm," Eiman Uematsu said with certainty: "It's not a real finger, but an effect that magnifies someone's finger in a far away place countless times. Now that the magnetic storm is about to end, that way The mirage will never appear again, and the general public must not panic."

"What about the smog around the city?"

"Of course it is also the weather change caused by the magnetic storm, and it will pass soon."

……

The duty area at the entrance to Zone F of Central Park.

"Hey, Gu Xingjun," Anda held a coffee can, watching the special interview on the large LED screen, "Why do I feel that what this expert said is a bit far-fetched?"

As he said, he raised his right index finger and put it upside down in front of his eyes, imitating the scene where the giant finger was stretched out yesterday, "Who would stretch out his finger in such a boring way, and it happened to be a mirage? Nonsense..."

There is also a strange situation in Lidu's network - local forums can be logged in, news websites can be opened, video social software, and chat tools can also be used, but they just can't contact the outside world, and can't see any news outside Lidu.

"asshole……

Can't send any news. "

Anda took the phone, opened the chat software, and looked at the gray profile picture of his ex-girlfriend, "It makes my ex-girlfriend seem to have passed away."

"It's said that a good ex should be dead." Gu Xing replied.

"Hey, don't say such bad things."

"Okay, I wish you two reunion after a broken mirror, mandarin ducks playing in the water, and a happy union for a hundred years."

"Uh...that's unnecessary."

Gu Xing swiped the short video app, but none came from outside Lidu, they were all huge fingers uploaded by the residents of this city, the big black hole in the sky, the long queue outside the Lidong Expressway, the dense panic buying at the checkout of Wolfie Supermarket Or, wait for the scene.

Many Internet celebrities in this city picked up on the popularity of this wave of strange events, intending to increase their followers.

A beautiful Internet celebrity named Tusaki stood in the northwest of Central Park to shoot a short video. She took a very coincidental angle, and just happened to have her head held down by a giant finger. She also performed an inexplicable dance to a strange music. The dance actually got 130 million likes.

Netizens commented below: Isn’t this more fragrant than Sue Aragaki?
Someone created a scene of a sci-fi world through post-processing.

Someone made a Kurosawa-style drama skit with fingers as the background.

The most outrageous thing is that someone opened a live broadcast room, claiming that he will live broadcast the coming of the end of the world,

"Citizens! Everything is completely true. It is no exaggeration. Licheng, where I live, is heading towards the end of the world. Please look back and see the huge black hole above the Central Park? According to my visual inspection, this black hole has been continuously expanding I conclude that if this expansion lasts for three months, the black hole will be able to completely swallow the entire city of Li.

By that time, where will we innocent citizens go?Will they be exiled in another world, or will they be reborn or crossed collectively?

Citizens, look at the black hole, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you! "

Before he finished speaking, the live broadcast room was closed.

Gu Xing looked angry and funny.

At about 11:30 in the evening, the peaceful watch was broken.

A colleague's voice came from the intercom: "Gu Xing, at eight o'clock, someone broke into the park through the fence, please be on high alert and follow up in time."

"receive."

"We will outflank from the direction of 11 o'clock!"

"Ok."

A few minutes later, Gu Xing pinned the intruder to the ground - a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in a dirty school uniform with short short hair.

Before his colleagues rushed over, Gu Xing asked a few words and was greatly surprised.

"Why did you break in? Don't you know the news that the park is blocked?"

It was inconvenient for the girl's hands to be bound by Gu Xing, so she turned her head and squinted at the bottom of the black hole, "I'm going there."

"What are you doing there? It's dangerous, you know that?"

"Dangerous?" The girl lowered her eyes, and a sense of self-abandonment enveloped her, "It can't be worse than my current situation, right?"

"Your situation? Tell me."

The girl stopped talking.

After a while, more police officers on duty rushed over, and the girl was handed over to other colleagues for questioning.

Anda inquired about the follow-up.

"Hey," he walked up to Gu Xing with a cigarette in his mouth, "Why do you think that girl broke into the park?"

"They said they were going to go under the black hole."

"I don't want to know why she went below the black hole?"

Gu Xing nodded sincerely.

"That's plausible," Anda puffed out a puff of smoke, "It's outrageous, the girl said she wanted to gain power."

"What does this have to do with black holes?"

"The girl said that the black hole and the huge finger are a kind of grotesque, and the grotesque can give her strength."

"do not understand at all."

"Me too, I was at a loss. It is said that our colleagues in the Special Investigation Division of the police headquarters are very interested in this, and took the girl away for further investigation."

"Is there a department like the Special Investigation Section in our headquarters? How is it the first time I heard of it?"

"Me too, I've learned a lot in the past two days."

"By the way." Thinking of the girl's eyes, Gu Xing always felt a little uncomfortable, "They didn't ask why that girl wanted to gain power."

"That's a clear question. It is said that the girl's family has passed away, but she has left behind her debts and usury loans. The debt collection company will come to make trouble every day..."

"Oh……"

This kind of thing is too common, Gu Xing hears about it every day, but he can't get used to it.

When it was close to twelve o'clock, the White Bird Police Department suddenly called:

"Gu Xing, it's okay, go home and rest."

"Didn't you say that I want to be on duty for the whole process?"

"Haha, do you really think I'm so ignorant of my subordinate's boss? I just need to know my mistakes."

"Oh, I feel like I can hold on."

"Don't be brave, go back and rest early, the body is the capital of the revolution."

"Grateful."

"Oh, by the way, tell Anda to go back quickly, nonsense, this guy has applied for an extension of three shifts, is he planning to die suddenly on the job? I won't apply for the family allowance for him who died in the line of duty! "

After hanging up the phone, Gu Xing looked at Anda who was on the side, "The White Bird Police Department asked you to go back and rest too."

"I know, even if he doesn't say it, I'm going to withdraw." Anda yawned, and looked up at the black hole above his head. "It seems that nothing can be found out in a short time. We have to be prepared for a long-term battle."

Gu Xing was relieved, his heart had already flown back to the basement.

After completing the shift shift, Gu Xing took the subway home.

Logically speaking, as an inspector of the Jing'an Police Department of the Lidu City Police Headquarters, the salary is not bad, so it makes no sense to rent in the basement. Gu Xing is still repaying the debt, and the burden on him is heavy.

Walking to the door, Gu Xing saw the young neighbors, Ryuichi and Chiyo, carrying things out with big bags and small bags.

"Why, are you two leaving Li City too? As far as I know, the smog outside the city hasn't dissipated yet..."

"I'm going to run away," Long Yi put down the package, "but I'm not leaving Lidu, just changing places."

"Is it uncomfortable to live here?"

"Debt collectors are coming," Long Yi sighed, "but don't get me wrong, I'm not a debt collector, but these loan sharks are too hateful, and I really have nothing to do."

Gu Xing remembered Long Yi's cool motorcycle.

"Don't think about it," Long Yi said with a smile: "Sell that motorcycle, if I can pay off one-tenth of the debt, I would have sold it long ago, and now I still have to rely on it to get around."

"How can you owe so much?"

"That's too much to say." Long Yi seemed to have no desire to continue talking.

It was Chiyo, who had been silent all this time, who said, "I'm the one who got involved with Long Yi. I just wanted to borrow a little money to treat my father's illness, but I didn't think that half of the principal would be wiped off just by beheading his head and paying interest. Bigger."

"I see," Gu Xing hesitated, and asked, "Have you tried calling the police?"

"Don't be naive," Long Yi patted the ashes on his body and raised a large piece, "Is it useful to call the police? If the usury company doesn't pay the monthly money to the police station, do you think they can continue to operate?"

"Actually, we called the police," Chiyo said, "but the police said that although the interest of usury has exceeded the scope stipulated by the law, in line with the principle that the police generally do not intervene in civil disputes, it is not easy to directly attack. The police also said, don’t you have nothing wrong with usury borrowers? What you say is really speechless.”

What both of them said is true.

Although he is not a policeman in charge of economic cases, Gu Xing has a clear understanding of the chaos in the usury industry in his home country. Too many people have ruined their lives because of a single careless borrowing of usury, and countless families have been destroyed.

Gu Xing once again thought of the girl he caught with his own hands today, and the girl's desperate eyes were engraved in Gu Xing's mind.She is also a victim of usury.

"Enough of the complaints." Long Yi picked up the package again, "Let's part. By the way, Gu Xingjun, give me your mobile phone number, and I will contact you later."

Gu Xing did as he said, "However, the big meal I promised you hasn't been fulfilled yet."

"There's always a chance. Goodbye, our neighbor."

Looking at the lonely backs of the two of them walking towards the exit of the basement passage, for some reason, Gu Xing felt a little sad.

For a moment, he even wanted to rush up and tell the two people: I am the police, if you come to me to report the crime, I will be responsible to the end.

Before he could speak, he calmed down—in a society where plutocrats and politicians dominate the world and collude, there are as many grievances and injustices as gravel on the beach. Can a small policeman manage it?

What's more, Gu Xing may not be able to help even if it is such a small matter as Longyi's usury. Once he takes over, he doesn't know which police officer will be involved.

Although he lost a lot of memory, for some reason, Gu Xing hated the injustices in this world, and those criminals who ate human blood but got away with it.He always felt that he had also been wantonly bullied by these vicious people, otherwise how could he be so extreme.

Whenever he sees the grievances that cannot be cleared up in news reports or forums, and sees the fairness and justice ravaged by capital, when he sees such news, he always has nowhere to vent his anger.

He woke up several times from midnight nightmares, recalling the cruel deeds of the murderers in the dream, his mind kept running hot, he wiped his gun once, and thought about dying with those extremely evil people, but he always felt that it was useless to do anything.

"Let's strike a stone with an egg."

Thinking of this, Gu Xing shook his head and opened the door of his basement.

After entering the door, without taking off his clothes, Gu Xing went straight to the corner.

A day later, the small hole still exists, as if to prove that what he saw and felt last night was not an illusion of Gu Xing.

Gu Xing lay on the ground and looked at it for a while, but there was still light in the hole.

That huge finger, could it be... No matter from which angle you look at it, this kind of thinking is too outrageous.

But after all, you have to try and verify it before you can feel at ease?

The doubts that had lingered in Gu Xing's mind all day became bigger and bigger, to the point where he had to find a way to solve them.

If it weren't for the task of on-site duty, Gu Xing might have killed him long ago.

This time, I can't put my fingers in it rashly.

Gu Xing found a pencil, peeled off the paint on the outside, and stuck it into the hole.

He turned on his mobile phone and clicked on the online news live program of Lidu TV Station. The first thing he saw was the beautiful and familiar face of the hostess, and next to him was Eiman Uematsu, an expert in the field of natural science with embarrassment written all over his face.

"Hi everyone, this is Lidu TV station. Next, continue to broadcast the news that our station has just received. Just 2 minutes ago, [Lidu giant pen] fell from the sky, and now I will hand over the screen to the reporter on the station."

Is it so efficient?

In the live broadcast, a huge pencil protruded from the huge black hole, floating quietly in mid-air.

Gu Xing looked at the phone, his mind went blank.
