Chapter 610: The Mystery of Symbols
Sakuruma glanced at the picture next to the TV, and it was only the father and daughter, but on the right side there was a very unnatural void, as if something had been forcibly erased from there.
"Sakurama. ”
"Oh, here we are. Sakurama bowed slightly to the owner of the house and ran out of the house.
"Let's go to the next one, we'll be busy today. Qing Shui looked at the list on the obsidian, and the second family was next door to the one he had visited just now, "This family is a mother and son, and like the family just now, I can't find any information about the other person." ”
Sakuruma nodded, she didn't hear what Shimizu was saying at all, she just cared about the photo.
"Ding-dong. ”
The sound of a hurried run came from inside the house, and the voice of a middle-aged woman sounded behind the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, we are on duty at the Kamakura City Hall, and we would like to do a simple social survey of the residents in this neighborhood. ”
The door slowly revealed a crack, and the woman cautiously looked at the two people outside, looked at them for a long time, and only opened the door with confidence after seeing the documents presented by Qing Shui.
"Xiaolong, come and receive these two guests. The woman handed them two pairs of slippers and called upstairs at the same time, and soon after, a young man in his early twenties came down from the upstairs with a toothpick in his mouth, "Xiaolong, help these two to do an investigation, Mom still has housework to do." ”
"Oh, got it. Xiaolong spit out the toothpick and led the two to the living room.
"I just heard, you're from the government, aren't you?"
"Yes. ”
"Puff ha......" Xiaolong suddenly held his stomach and laughed, but he seemed to be afraid that the laughter would be too public, so he subconsciously glanced at his mother's position, and then leaned over and whispered: "I saw you on TV, you are the supreme commander of the keel, right? ”
"Hmm......" Qing Shui was speechless for a while, since the keel was exposed by the media, he would naturally be remembered by many people as a commander, but if he didn't disguise himself as a government worker, few people would let them in to investigate.
"I'm secretly supporting your work, what, is there any special mission this time?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the details yet, you just need to cooperate with us to answer some questions. "Qing Shui saw that his identity was revealed, and he didn't plan to do anything more, this person looks like a fan of the dragon bones, and he must sometimes worship their battle with creatures from another world.
"Okay, no problem, there are some things that naturally can't be said to little people like us. ”
"Are you and your mother the only ones in the house?"
Faced with Qing Shui's question, Xiaolong nodded without hesitation.
"Can I go around?" Sakurama looked at the dragon's expression, just like the father before, sure enough, there was still some secret hidden in it, anyway, as long as their conversation was not out of this room, they could be heard, it was better to gather some useful information here.
"Please, but don't bother my mom, she's a little nervous. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Miss Shimizu, you can continue to ask, no matter what the question is, I will answer it truthfully. ”
"Okay, next question. Is your father usually not at home?"
The little dragon paused slightly, and Sakuruma also noticed his abnormality at the same time, his behavior was exactly the same as that of his father next door, he only paused when he heard this question, and the expression on his face barely changed like a zombie.
"Many years ago, my dad had a car accident downstairs at the club, and when the ambulance arrived, he had no heartbeat, and that was about 10 years ago, so I lived here with my mom. ”
"Can you tell me the name of your deceased father?"
The same question, Xiaolong reacted the same way again, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but this is the only one. ”
"Miss Shimizu, let's go, we've got the answer. Sakurama looked at the photo hanging on the wall of the hallway, and at a glance she saw the clue, this photo was the same as the one I had seen earlier, only two people were in the frame, and the right one was clearly left with the place of another person, but that person seemed to be completely absent.
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Long seemed to be very reluctant to let the two of them go, he had always wanted to know more about the dragon bones, and finally met their supreme commander, but he didn't expect to leave after just a few words.
"Thank you for your continued support, but we still have business to attend to, so we can only end here. ”
"Okay, I wish you all those monsters from another world as soon as possible, and the world will be peaceful!" Xiaolong quickly covered his mouth, this could not be heard by his mother, so he had to smile awkwardly and beckoned them to leave.
"Sure enough, those people seem to have been erased from time, there is no information about them anywhere, it must be the ghost of Yucuris, I'm afraid that there have been many games quietly going on before we even knew it...... Damn, how could such a thing happen......" Qing Shui was annoyed, he didn't expect that raising the defense against the other world to such a level would still be taken by Ucuris!
"Everyone involved has been implanted with a false memory, and the closest person has become a person who has long been absent in the memory in the next second, and he actually plays with human emotions like this, and that bastard ......" Sakurama felt unprecedented anger, the family relationship was shattered, but the family was unaware, and the disappeared person was fighting with people in the same situation at the moment, fighting desperately to return to the world where he once lived, and return to the side of his children and lovers!
"But there's nothing we can do about it. "Qing Shui looked at the sky, and the sea reflected the clouds and light.
"Can Mr. Onishima do it?"
"You mean ......"
Sakuruma walked to the beach, grabbed a handful of sand and threw it into the water: "Help those people retrieve memories of their loved ones." ”
"But if they know the truth, I'm afraid ......"
"Knowing nothing, being hidden from falsehood is the most painful. ”
Shimizu was silent for a long time, Sakuruma's words reminded her of the game ten years ago, when she disappeared, no one felt sorry for herself, but it was her own departure that made it seem more harmonious.
"I know, I'll let May know when I get back and let him give it a try. ”
"Then let's go back, I want to go find Sojuro. ”
"Hmm. Qing Shui unfolded the portal, and the two returned to the headquarters, "I will inform you when there is a result, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, the black riders are not here during this time, and the deputies are probably not very busy." ”
Sakurama and Shimizu broke up under the headquarters building and came to Sojuro's room alone.
"I should have said I was going to knock on the door when I came in. In the small room, Sojuro was sitting on a chair with his knees crossed, the mouse snapping and the keyboard pounding fast.
"I knocked it. ”
"Oh, yes, that's probably because I was too focused to hear. Sojuro said as he stared intently at the screen.
"You're always one step ahead of us. Sakuruma looked at Sojuro's computer, apparently ahead of him again this time, "How's it going, is there any progress?"
"It's a pity that even I can't find anything to do this time, and I can't resist similar incidents. ”
Sojuro's words made Sakuruma completely disheartened, and if even he couldn't find a way to prevent what happened last night, I'm afraid no one else would be able to find it.
"Still. ”
"But what?" The ashes in his heart ignited a little because of the few words, and Sakuruma immediately turned to look at him.
"Remember the night you won the game back to the present world a long time ago? You had a laptop in your hand with a rudimentary artificial intelligence system, and at the same time, there was a document about the other world, it was not an ordinary document, it was a document that accurately described the origin of the gods and everything about the other world. ”
"But there was only one symbol. ”
"That's right, that symbol records everything. ”
"But I've asked Miss Shimizu many times, and she's said that the symbols haven't been cracked yet. ”
Sojuro shook his head: "That symbol doesn't need to be cracked, she should have told you that the purpose of opening the connecting door to summon creatures from another world is to find species with similar symbols on their bodies." But didn't you notice that that nothing like that has happened since you came back? ”
"Do you mean ......?"
"Yes, Miss Shimizu lied to you, including everyone in the keel. ”
"How did you know about this?"
"It's simple, because Miss Shimizu entrusted me with this, and she knows that only I can crack the contents of that computer. Sojuro opened the drawer that had been locked, and inside was the notebook that Jorim had given them before he died.
"Why did Miss Shimizu hide the truth about this?" Sakuruma wondered.
"She didn't mean to hide it, because the Supreme Commander is different from other positions, and if everything is revealed to the outside world, sooner or later the keel will be untenable. When she handed me the notebook, she told me that if something happened to her that she couldn't continue to lead the organization, she would tell the next Supreme Commander the secret. ”
"In that case, then what else are you telling me for?"
"Because Miss Shimizu's most trusted person is you, and the level of trust in you is far higher than mine, I will have to tell you about this sooner or later, and it just so happened that what happened last night is also related to it, and I have to tell this secret now. ”
"Is it about last night's collision?" Sakuruma asked.
"No, it's the truth about Ucuris. ”
Sojuro's fingers suddenly tapped on the keyboard, and a large chunk of text and pictures popped out, and these were things they hadn't seen before.
"That's everything in the symbol. ”
At the same time, Sakuruma's afterglow caught a glimpse of a prominent text.
Bathe.
