Time is always easy to spend in good times. Even if you count the time, but you don't pay attention to it, and then you come back to your senses and are idle, and the time will pass for a long time.

Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, the capital station. in a room. With the window open, the sunlight from the window came in and shone on the desk, and Lao Chen sat behind the desk, looking at the clock hanging on the opposite wall.

The clock still doesn't stop, jumping down and down. Ten o'clock in the afternoon, fifty-two days had passed since the advent of eternal sleep and dreams.

In other words, the prophesied death, the end, is coming. This real dream is about to be torn apart.

Tonight, after the whole world has slept peacefully, the whole world will never wake up again. Even at this moment, there was still the power of the dream to block, Lao Chen, a senior investigator, had already felt the unstoppable feeling of panic, like the sky falling.

Looking at the still jumping clock, Lao Chen paused his gaze and was silent. Then, when the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock, he stood up, approached the clock, paused in front of the clock, reached out and opened the door next to him, and walked out.

…… The sun outside the house is still shining, and from afar, you can even smell the fragrance of flowers and plants from nowhere.

A little dust, wafting in the pillar of light through the gaps in the branches and leaves, some sense of reassurance unconsciously eroded the same uncontrollable uneasiness in the heart.

Lao Chen was outside the house and paused again. It's only been a few more than 50 days, but it seems like a long time has passed.

The catastrophe of more than a month ago seems to be far away from most people, far away from those who have experienced disasters and horrors, and the nightmares have gradually ceased to be hare.

People who have lost their loved ones far away, in the midst of busyness and fulfillment, are already idle before their deceased friends and relatives will ring.

It is so far away that people think that with the support of eternal sleep and dreams, the world of peace and order can last forever, and people can't stop ignoring the possible end.

In cities, people affected by floods and other disasters are already rebuilding their homes with hope for the future.

Houses need to be rebuilt, fields need to be replanted, and the mood has to be put together and reintegrated into a new life. However, this is destined to come to an abrupt end.

The rebuilt home will never be completed, and the hopeful will never be able to hope for the result.

Everything will end in death, in the end. At this moment, the residence of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation was a little empty, and there were not many investigators in sight.

After the advent of eternal sleep and dreams, the disaster faded, although there were still some special events, and twisted monsters appeared, but compared to before, there were many, many less, and the abnormal bureau was rare, and it was probably the only time that it was idle, although some investigators were still needed to deal with some affairs, but it didn't need so many people, so these days, some investigators were given some vacation in turn.

Give them the freedom to arrange their last time. Today, most investigators are on mandatory leave.

And before tonight comes, they can choose whether or not to return to the Anomalies before the night comes.

Looking at the calm and quiet station of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau, Lao Chen paused for a while, and then moved his feet, he still needed to leave the Abnormal Investigation Bureau and go to a place.

……

“…… Dad, I'm going to have ice cream. ”

"Okay, baby I'll buy you whatever you want to eat today." The investigator was holding his daughter in front of a convenience store at the zoo.

His mother followed him,

"Don't hold it all the time, let her get down and walk by herself. Are you tired? The old lady looked at her and shook her head.

"Dad, are you tired, why don't I come down?"

"I'm not tired, Dad has the strength, you can hold it as long as you want."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then I want my dad to hold me all the time!"

"Okay."

"Is it true that Dad just said that you can eat whatever you want?"

"It's true, too."

"Then I'm going to have two ice creams and two sausages...... May I? The girl, in her father's arms, asked with some caution.

The Investigator looked at his daughter, smiled, and nodded,

"Yes."

"Thank you Dad......"

"Boss, two ice creams and two sausages."

"Hey, hey, you give her so many of these snacks here, what's the matter, don't eat it for a while...... Baby, listen to grandma, let's not eat so much, okay? ”

"Dad......" The old lady listened to the exchange between the father and daughter, and hurriedly said aloud. Some of the little girls who liked to breathe listened to their grandmother's words, stopped, and looked at their father uncertainly,

"It's okay. Let's eat......" The man seemed to be answering his daughter's words, and as if he was saying to his mother, he said with a smile, and after repeating it to the convenience store owner next to him, he raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes a little dazed.

"Hey...... How can you take care of children like this? The old lady shook her head while looking at it, but she didn't persuade much.

"Mom, do you want to eat one? Do you have anything you'd like to eat? ”

"This thing is cold, I can't eat it, I'll eat a grilled sausage."

"Okay, boss, two more sausages......"

"Daddy...... Are you going to leave again tonight? ”

"Well, when I finish visiting the zoo with my baby and grandma, I will walk around again, and before it gets dark, Dad will be gone." The little girl got the ice cream, one in one hand, and the sausage for her father to hold.

Eating ice cream, the girl smiled and squinted her eyes, and then asked her father. The Investigator smiled and answered, touching his daughter's hair.

"Okay......" The little girl was a little depressed, but the child's heart soon turned to other things.

"Little lion, Daddy, look!"

"Well, dad saw ......" At the last moment, the investigator was with his loved ones, the child.

……

“…… Eh, why are you back? Why didn't you say it in advance? "In the yard of a family, the old mother is sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.

A figure carrying a bag from far to near on the road, to the closer, the old mother found out that this is her child back, look at it twice before she dares to be sure, and hurriedly walked over,

"I didn't ...... I just suddenly want to come back. And came back. The young man responded, smiling.

"Eh, I didn't say anything in advance, and I didn't buy you some food and come back to make something delicious......"

"No, Mom...... I just want to come back......" ......

"Old Qian, your son is back, and he is still playing chess here......"

"Where? Lie to me? ”

"Who lied to you, it's all at the gate of the community."

"No more, no more......" Under the gazebo in the community, Lao Tzu, who was playing chess, threw down his chess pieces and went home.

"Eh, don't want chess? Is this your chess? ”

"No...... Bah, you take me, take it first......"

"Hey...... This old money. ”……

"It's been a few days since you've been back, how long have you been around? Day by day I know that lying there is annoying to watch. ”

"Let's go, let's go, go out to your class......"

"Mom, I just want to stay at home and be with you......"

“……”

"It's going to be nice! …… What do you want to eat at noon? I'll ask your dad to buy it! ”…… Perhaps it is the last bit of strength left by Old Man Hong that has been left in this real dream.

Consciously, unconsciously, when the real dream here is about to wake up and be torn apart, many people stay with their own families and people who want to be together.

……

"Sir." Lao Chen has arrived at the place where he wants to come. On the last day when the true dream was about to be shattered, at the moment when death and finality were about to come, Lao Chen once again came to visit this mysterious and powerful man on the banks of the Wang'an River.

On the way, he saw some scenes of prosperity and rebuilding homes in the city and beside the road.

At this point, he was even more silent. He stopped in front of Jing Chen's booth and stood with his head bowed. After shouting, he was silent for a while.

"Sit down." Jing Chen still handed over the stool, Lao Chen took it, bent down and put the stool beside him, but did not sit down.

"I won't sit down this time."

"Investigator Nachen, do you want to ask anything this time?" Jing Chen looked at Lao Chen, and the street and city behind Lao Chen.

Even now, his mind was still calm, as if he was already in the endless nothingness as he was when he peeked into the future.

He knew the end was coming, but he had no fear. It was calm throughout. And for Lao Chen, or the investigators of the Investigation Bureau.

In order to maintain order and a good quality in order for these last investigators, Jing Chen still respects them very much.

In Jing Chen's questioning, Lao Chen was silent and shook his head,

"This time, there was nothing to ask. Just came to visit Mr. and thank him for his help and guidance all the time. ”

"The Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, we, have been able to survive until now, sir, and you have given a lot of inspiration."

"Don't thank me, I've done very little." Jing Chen shook his head again and replied. Lao Chen was silent again, and then raised his gaze and looked at Jing Chen,

"Also. Everything will come to an end, and the traces of our existence, our history, and the existence of civilization will all turn into nothingness. ”

"I don't know if sir, if you will also return with the end."

"If Mr. can still get through the center, I hope Mr. can remember us."

"This is my last request to Mr. and the Bureau, and I hope you will agree."

"Remember?" Jing Chen's gaze was rare and a little dazed, and he repeated it over and over again.

"Well, if Sir exists, I hope Sir will remember that we once existed."

"Our existence has meaning to us. However, I still hope that some traces can be left. Lao Chen pleaded.

Jing Chen looked at Lao Chen, and then looked at the city in the distance, the city was still so lively.

"I don't know if I'll make it through the end. If I could, I would remember. ”

"Thank you, sir." Lao Chen thanked him sincerely and respectfully.

“…… So, what are you going to do in the next time? Jing Chen could see it directly, but he still chose to ask.

"The Bureau of Investigation, the investigators, never give up struggling. Even now, too. ”

"After the beautiful dream is shattered, we will continue to fulfill our mission until the end comes." Lao Chen gave an answer.

Even with eternal sleep and dreams, the last days of the world have been guaranteed to be peaceful and peaceful. But when the last minute comes, the Anomalies will not give up the struggle.

As he spoke, Lao Chen paused, and then smiled at Jing Chen,

"For you, too, leave some deeper impressions." Jing Chen looked at Lao Chen and didn't speak. After a moment of silence, he stood up from behind his booth.

"Sir, we're going to take our leave this time. Hopefully, there will be a time to say goodbye. ”

"Hmm." After Jing Chen responded, Lao Chen smiled and turned to leave. Jing Chen peeked at the ending of Lao Chen and the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau again, and was silent, not stopping Lao Chen, who had already gone away.

After Lao Chen walked away, Jing Chen did not choose to sit back in the stall, and left the Wang'an River forward, choosing to go back to his residence.

……

Mr. Jing...... Then you eat, I'll go first. When you're done eating, put the bowl in the sink or just put it on the table. I'll come back tomorrow morning to get it. ”

“…… Hey, I was supposed to wait for Mr. Jing to finish eating, and I washed the dishes before leaving. I don't know what happened tonight, so I wanted to go home early, and my wife at home also called a few times to ask when I would go back. ”

"Well, then Uncle Pang, you should go back early." It was late afternoon. Uncle Pang brought the prepared meal over, and after setting it for Jing Chen, he said goodbye, and Jing Chen sat at the table and nodded.

"Then I'll go first, I'm really sorry...... I'll bring you the door. Uncle Pang apologized, exited the house, and closed the living room door.

Jing Chen turned his gaze again and looked out the window, outside the window, it was already evening and dusk. Looking at the gradually falling sunset, Jing Chen paused, thinking about the future and ending of the Abnormal Tune Bureau that he had peeked at before.

…… On the other side, the capital station of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation. Lao Chen, the rabbit investigator, and a group of investigators belonging to the capital station all gathered in front of the cemetery again.

The investigators and senior investigators of the other regional bureaus are also like this. Standing in front of everyone, closest to the cemetery, Lao Chen looked at all the investigators gathered, and at this moment, there were still investigators on leave who were returning and joining the team.

No one spoke, only the wind in the cemetery, the clashing of branches and leaves. Finally, when all the investigators stood in front of this cemetery, Lao Chen looked at all the investigators, looked at the falling sunset, and spoke calmly and firmly,

"Comrades, comrades, comrades-in-arms. We will fulfill the final mission of the Bureau of Investigations, the investigators. ”

"We will complete our final mission."

"Even to the end, to death, it cannot be changed or shaken. Then please, let's die before anyone else. ”

"Please let us die before anyone else." Someone followed along, without too much emotion, only calm words.

From choosing to be an investigator, you chose death. They are not so afraid of death. The mission is on every investigator, and today, at this moment, they will be the last to carry out their mission.

Their mission is coming to an end. Looking at the investigators who also gave answers calmly, Lao Chen paused, and then finally picked up his communicator,

"Fellow citizens." Several senior investigators of the Bureau of Anomalies had hesitated to make public at the last minute about the end, about death.

But in the end, I still chose to announce everything in the last half hour - even if I concealed it, there was no way for everyone to end in hope, and the moment the real dream was torn apart, everything would be bloody in front of everyone.

“…… We are facing a great, extinct crisis. ”

"Fifty days ago, the catastrophe was just a prelude. The peace and order of these more than 50 days is already an illusion after our efforts. ”

"I'm sorry, we've done a lot of work, but unfortunately our efforts will come to an end today."

"The end of everything is coming...... Lao Chen said into the communicator, and these words rang out in different parts of the world at the same time.

……

"Look...... Take a look at the news. I saw it during the day today, and it seems that there is some important news to be announced tonight. "There were people in the room who suddenly sounded, talking, and when they were about to change the channel, they suddenly found that all the channels had jumped, there was no picture, only sound, Lao Chen, the voice of the investigator announcing the end and death came from the TV, and everyone in the whole room was quiet.

Then I found that not only the TV in my house, but also the radio in the entire community, all the public equipment that can make sound, seems to be making sound.

Inside the house, outside, eating dinner and busy with work. People who are watching TV, playing with their mobile phones, and doing all kinds of things are hearing this voice from different channels at the same time.

There seemed to be some tiredness in his voice, but no one noticed. One person stopped what they were doing, and the people driving on the road also stopped one after another.

The whole world seemed to stand still at this moment. The whole world seemed to be silent, and only the words that announced that the end was coming and that everything was heard.

Fear had not yet crept out of people's hearts, and no one could not believe it while everyone was still confused and unsure of the words on the radio.

Destruction, death, and the end have come.

The roar of the "Boom ......" sounded like thunder in the sky, and then, the originally clear night sky seemed to be torn apart.

The day, as if a big hole was torn open, the torrential rain ...... No, it's a flood pouring down from heaven.

There is also a place to cool down, suddenly there is a cold and biting wind blowing, easily taking away the temperature of everyone outside, some people are running indoors, some people are hurriedly wrapped in fear of clothes, but the sudden drop in temperature, the speed of cooling is faster than the speed of dressing.

In some places, the temperature rises, and suddenly a hot wind blows, and then the water vapor is easily carried away, and people are in panic, from undressing, to watering, to the fire on the ground, the heat wave distorts the air.

In some places, the monstrous tsunami directly blocked the heavens and the earth, and in other places, the mountains were shaken. The catastrophe that had been subsided before seemed to be back again.

"Wow wow......" In many places, there were children crying, followed by frightened and desperate cries.

“…… I'm so sorry. We still have half an hour. ”

"You can choose to spend half an hour with your family or do whatever you want." Then, in Lao Chen's final announcement, one person calmed down again.

In other words, Mu Ran lost his mind and was stunned. If this time is one day, the world may be in chaos. But now there is only half an hour left, and nothing can be done under the countless disasters that have torn apart the real sweet dream.

It's not even enough for many people to really react and realize, what's wrong. In the room, a person leaned against the wall, slid to the ground, lost his eyes, sitting, and finally, most of the people who had been together in the family chose to hug their loved ones.

Under the deafening noise brought about by countless disasters that seemed to destroy the world, the whole world seemed extraordinarily quiet.

“…… Dad, are we all going to die? ”

"It's all right...... It's okay......" There are children huddled in their parents' arms, looking out the window at the flood, which seems to be about to destroy the world, with some fear and ignorance in their eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, Dad is here......" The adults comforted the children, as if they were comforting themselves, and finally the two adults hugged each other and cried.

……

"Mom......"

"I'm here."

"Mom, do you hear me?"

"I heard it, and I felt it, I really have to accept people this day, it's really cold." A young girl ran out of the bedroom and looked at her mother in the kitchen with some fear, who was silent for a while, and then hugged her.

"I knew you came out of the bedroom, I thought you were going to play a game for a while...... Sit down, Mom will cook you something to eat. The mother was silent for a long time, but just said this.

“…… I'm right here, with mom and you. The young girl opened her mouth to say a lot of things, but at last she just said that.

"Uh-huh......" ...... For most people, everything comes too suddenly, disaster, destruction, death, and death.

It seems to come in an instant, obviously the last moment, still living his life, but the next moment, he has to face the inevitable end.

Some are afraid, some are restless, some are desperate. Most of the investigators in the Bureau of Investigation witnessed it, and they couldn't stop it from approaching.

“…… Fulfill our final mission. "Lao Chen's words to everyone are not so long.

After telling everyone about the disaster and death, Lao Chen put down the communicator. Raising your head, you will face the torrential rain that has also begun to pour down in the sky, and the torrential rain can no longer be said to be in a line, but a waterfall that slopes down from a hole in the sky, and in an instant, the entire ground is like a pool of water, constantly rising the water level.

And here, the catastrophe is only a prelude to the final coming, only a prelude to death. Death, which had already begun to rage, finally arrived when everyone realized that death was coming.

The whole world, the original sky, became no longer bright, and the whole world was swallowed up by darkness.

And in this darkness, the end comes. Not dependent on disaster, not dependent on disease, not dependent on any means, death is a manifestation of her authority.

In a piece of land, death is like the inevitable end, step by step, and where it comes, life returns to death.

Everything that is alive and everything that is not alive is withering, withering, decaying, collapsing, and dying. You can see the city in the distance, all the buildings, all the existence as if it were destroyed by death.

And just after death, the end is also coming...... If death is to turn the whole world into darkness, to turn everything into death.

After that end, everything is gone, death is also coming to an end, everything has turned into nothingness, and nothingness spreads throughout the world, just like Jing Chen once saw, just like the void specks on the fate that Jing Chen once peeked at.

In the Abnormal Tone Bureau, Lao Chen turned into a piece of light, facing the darkness and nothingness. This is the last mission of the investigator, this is the last struggle as an investigator.

But, like a cluster of candles, reaching into the ocean, unobstructed, the glimmer of light that Lao Chen turned into was extinguished and disappeared.

The Investigation Bureau, the Tatsu investigator died. Then there are the rabbits, the tigers, the ugly cows, the horses, and the sheep...... One by one, the senior investigators almost at the same time as Lao Chen, greeted the eroded nothingness, and then, without bringing any changes to the nothingness, nor hindering her steps, she is coming, it is the inevitable end, it is said that the nothingness is eroding the whole world, it is better to say that the whole world is moving towards nothingness.

All power, all existence, all greatness, are reduced to nothingness in it. It's as if this is the way it should have ended.

One senior investigator after another, all of them died. And then...... It is an elite investigator and an ordinary investigator.

They fulfilled their final mission. …… Jing Chen withdrew his gaze from the dark room. Look at the clock that is still beating.

He saw some tragic endings to the Bureau, and at this moment, all the investigators of the Bureau should have been sacrificed.

But his mind was still very calm, as if it was coming, the end of the original world. That's how it should be...... There is no sadness, no fear.

“…… Dad, what is death? ”

"Dad...... Are you afraid of death? ”

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die...... Suddenly, Jing Chen seemed to hear countless noisy words, as if they were in his building, and it seemed to be farther away.

But then, all the sound came to an abrupt end. The whole world calmed down at once. From a grander perspective, the endless nothingness is expanding beyond the place where Jing Chen is located, and the place where Jing Chen is located that has not yet been swallowed by the void is getting smaller and smaller, and in the end, only the square inch around Jing Chen remains.

Suddenly, Jing Chen saw that the clock in front of him stopped beating, and turned around, the original surroundings had turned into nothingness, nothing, nothing.

After lowering his head, he realized that there was no concept of bowing his head, and he had turned into nothingness.

He also no longer exists. My concept seems to have been lost. 'I' don't exist anymore. Only nothingness remains.

…… In this nothingness, time has no meaning, space does not exist. It seems to be an instant, and it seems to be eternal.

A consciousness popped up out of nowhere. There is no process to appear, and there is no reason to appear. It's like a calm lake that suddenly ripples inexplicably.

He felt calm. Then, from the calm, I was found.

"Finally?" 'I' have an idea popping up,

"The end is the end and the beginning of the future......

"And where is the future?" This consciousness had some doubts, and then suddenly,

"I am the ...... of the future" should be realized. He subconsciously lowered his head, and suddenly, all the nothingness disappeared, and the world reappeared.

It's just that he thinks there should be a future. So the future to the present, appeared. He saw his body again, and Jing Chen saw his body again.

Jing Chen raised his head again and looked out the window, he could see the world again, and he could also see the future of the world.

And outside the window, it seems that it is just a moment, and it seems to have spent a night. The light of dawn shone through the windows of this room.

Jing Chen smiled.

"The end? Future? ”…… On the other side, the world reappeared. The Bureau of Anomalies has also resurfaced. Lao Chen, who had already turned into nothingness with nothingness, suddenly realized his existence.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that he was still in front of the cemetery where the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation was stationed.

"This is the world after the end?" Looking at the sky, the dawn of the rising sun. Lao Chen rose to some realization.

He looked at himself, and then into the distance. …… So, after the end, when the first day of the future is about to be passed, when the sunset comes again, the afterglow sways on the surface of the Wang'an River.

On the banks of the Wang'an River, Lao Chen saw the mysterious powerful man again, and he said to him,

"Thank you for remembering our existence." Jing Chen smiled when he heard this.
