"..."

Qihai and Gong fell into silence, it was very strange, he should be the one to ask the question according to the agreement, but he was silent most of the time during the whole process.

"The search officer who took care of you just now, Xi Wei, is your senior sister. You are both from the Biology Department of Yukimizawa University of Technology. The last time you went to the search bureau, you met her."

Jian Shenxiu suddenly changed the subject.

"Can you see it? She has always wanted you to get involved in these things."

"Sister Xiwei..."

Qi Haihe Gong hesitated when he heard the words, of course he could understand these things. But a child who is used to the indifference of others is always not good at dealing with this kind of strange kindness. For a while, he seemed a little at a loss, not knowing how to answer.

"She's a very kind person."

"Yeah, very kind, so I don't want you to die for nothing because of your curiosity." Jian Shenxiu, who was looking up, gave him a squinting look, and when he said "life", his eyes showed no pity, neither joy nor sorrow.

"In Xuejianze, people who have been deeply involved in the mist will disappear quietly in a certain night, without even causing a disturbance. She doesn't want you to end up like this."

"..."

So there was a moment of silence between the two of them. When discussing this issue, even if they met Shenxiu, they would give him time to hesitate.

"The Bureau of Investigation is a mysterious department in the eyes of citizens. People usually regard this mystery as a concealment. They regard the investigator as a black cat reporting funerals. Few people think that this mystery is a kind of protection for citizens. .”

Jian Shenxiu went on to say that every sentence he said was subverting Qihai Hegong's cognition.

"Because of the mystery, they don't need to know what kind of work the Search Bureau is facing. Because of the mystery, they don't need to know what kind of situation the Search Bureau is facing, and they don't need to remember every detail of the Search Bureau. The battle-to-loss ratio of this operation, you don’t need to know how many crosses belonging to the search bureau have been planted in the cemetery in the south of the city. You can live in a protected world with peace of mind.”

In the shadows, the chief searcher leaned forward with sharp red eyes, and when he looked at Qi Haihe Gong, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to pierce people's hearts.

"but……"

Seeing Shenxiu repeating that sentence again.

"Very few people feel it's a form of protection."

"I……"

Qi Haihe Gong, who was stared at by that gaze, trembled in his heart. Although it was obvious that Shenxiu was not blaming him here, it still made him subconsciously feel guilty.

"Feel sorry."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this to complain. I don't need a student to agree with me." Jian Shenxiu said flatly.

"I'm just telling you that this vortex is really dangerous, and it will really kill you."

"Xi Wei is a kind person, so she will drive people out of the vortex. But I am not, so I will not help you make this kind of choice. I will only put the options in front of you and let you choose. "

"If you want to understand the weird words, if you want to understand the meaning behind them. Why don't you come and help me, my next plan needs an assistant who is proficient in marine biology. I think you might be suitable for this position."

Seeing that Shenxiu tilted his head.

"So even if you know the danger, do you want to help me? At least during this case."

"Of course, it's like today's experiment. I'm not sure that I can protect your safety. The work of the Search Bureau is very dangerous, and this case is especially serious. Even I am cursed at this moment."

"ah……"

Only then did Qihai and Gong suddenly react to this matter.

[People who participated in the death of that strange fish] will be cursed and die one after another in the following. It is still unknown whether he is still within this range after he has undergone numerous protections. But... Jian Shenxiu in front of him must be cursed without a doubt.

However, during the conversation just now, Shenxiu seemed so calm that he completely forgot about it. It wasn't until Shenxiu took the initiative to mention him that he realized that there was still a curse. For a moment, a strong sense of absurdity surged into the heart of the white-haired boy, and he looked at the inspector in front of him in a daze. It is impossible to overlap "he will die in twenty-four hours" with the way he is talking now.

Is this how people are dying? Qihaihe Gong felt a strong sense of disillusionment when he saw Shenxiu.

Or is weirdness something that's completely nothing to worry about?

"About the curse." In the end he couldn't hold back, and asked Jian Shenxiu cautiously.

"Mr. God, are you... not worried?"

"What are you worried about? A curse? It will be fine to solve the source within 24 hours?" Jian Shenxiu said calmly. "Besides, it's okay if you can't solve it. As I said, I'm very strong."

"..."

Qihai and Gong looked a little dazed.

"For the investigators, going through the weirdness for themselves is a very common investigative tool we use. I know it's primitive and brutal, but that's how the agency works."

Seeing Shenxiu looking at his expression, he raised his eyebrows.

"You don't have to worry about my problem now, but you should consider my invitation. Regarding the fog and weirdness, you will never understand what it is until you see it with your own eyes. It's like you came into contact with that mutated strange fish tonight Same."

"Of course, I can give you time. After you are ready, give me an answer before 8:30 tomorrow morning. If you are willing to come, I will have someone pick you up at 9 o'clock."

This is an attitude that allows him to refuse.

Nanami and Gong smiled bitterly in his heart.

This is obviously a pinch, and he can't refuse at all.

But Jian Shenxiu didn't care about the boy's expression, but looked down at his watch, and then said to him.

"It's almost time, do you have anything else to ask? This is the last question."

"Ah, is it the last question? Then..."

Qihai and Gong bowed their heads in silence for a moment, then raised their heads, and looked straight into Jian Shenxiu's eyes with his blue eyes that day.

"See Chief Investigator, can we really defeat the fog and the weirdness? You said it yourself just now, and now the road ahead is so confusing that you can't see the way at all. In this case, can we really win?"

"...Of course we can win."

Hearing this question, Jian Shenxiu blinked first, then suddenly smiled.

This was the first time Qihaihegong saw this man smile, and at that moment Qihaihegong knew that it was definitely not a perfunctory official rhetoric, but a smile from the heart.

"Before humans invented the airplane, they couldn't find a way in the sky. Before they invented the spaceship, they couldn't find a way in the universe. But in the end we all did it. So what if we can't see the way now? It doesn't prevent us from looking up at the stars."

Then he patted the boy on the shoulder, turned and walked out.

"One day we will clear all the fog. On that day, whether it is all the weirdness, or the human beings who conspire with the weirdness."

"I don't forgive any of them."
