A world where only the protagonist has color

That thing is here again...

Zhongtani turned his head and looked towards the corner of the room—the figure standing there just now disappeared again.

How many times is this already this week?

The fuzzy figure hiding in the corner of the eye disappeared the moment he turned his head.

Under the dark night, Tokyo was silent, the hour hand pointed to the number three, and the howling night wind passed through the gaps between the buildings, making a terrifying sound like the roar of ghosts.

The chill was blocked from the outside by the locked doors and windows from the inside, and the humming air conditioner sent hot air into the room, and water droplets dripped down the air outlet, splashing a turbid splash on the table under the air conditioner.

The dry environment made Zhonggu's lungs a little uncomfortable, and he woke up from his sleep with a few coughs.

Lifting the thin quilt and sitting up, Nakatani unscrewed the lamp on the bedside table and stared at the locked bedroom door.

His throat was a little thirsty, but Zhongtani just sat on the edge of the bed with his waist bowed and his head bowed in silence, his frowning seemed to be a silent psychological struggle.

Finally he stood up, opened the bedroom door and walked out.

Taking advantage of the dim light in the bedroom, Zhonggu took out a transparent glass from the cabinet, and there was a sharp sound when the water pipe was opened—the water supply to the building was suspended due to pipe repairs in the afternoon, and the water supply was only resumed a few hours ago.

For the first few minutes after the water supply was restored, when the taps were turned on, there was a creaking sound as the clean water from the water company squeaked through the empty pipes.

The usual voices are rather creepy in the dark of night, not to mention that there are always strange figures around Zhonggu recently.

According to Tokyo urban legend, a man-eating crocodile escaped from a farm is hidden deep in the dark sewer.But the legend is just a legend after all, how could the crocodile slip into the sewer and grow to several meters.

But the dark and bottomless narrow pipes can always easily evoke the most primitive fear of human beings. If the ring falls into the pipe, will the evil insects hiding in the pipe bite your fingers when you reach out to take it out?

Zhonggu raised his head and gulped down the water in the cup, but when he was about to drink the last sip, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing behind him from the corner of his eye.

The sudden fright made Zhongtani cough and choke water into his throat, he patted his chest and coughed violently, turned around but couldn't see anyone.

It can't be an illusion, there must be something in the room, like a shadow, hiding in his room.

This phenomenon has been going on for almost a month.

To catch the alleged intruder, Nakatani filled the rooms with cameras.But after half a month, not to mention other living people other than him, not even a cat or a dog was photographed.

Who will it be?

Hiding in dirty corners to peep and harass him.

After seeing the suspicious figure, Zhonggu also rushed back to the bedroom immediately to turn on the computer and call out the monitoring.

But the surveillance screen overlooking the entire room did not capture the second figure, only Nakatani suddenly turned his head when he pulled out the bookmarked book from the bookshelf, and glanced at the empty corner.

The nerves began to weaken continuously, and he even needed to take sleeping pills to help him fall asleep.

Close your eyes, what you dream of is all the ghosts who died under the sniper lens crawling on the ground covered in blood. They climbed onto his bed in a distorted posture, strangled his limbs and cried tearfully, "I died well. awful".

Zhonggu had killed so many people that he couldn't even remember their appearance.Most of the innocent souls in the dream had no facial features, and when they looked up at him, there was only a bloody blank.

But only that woman...

The woman who loved him innocently, was used by him and died under his gun, she began to appear frequently in his dreams.Words of admiration were pouring out of his mouth, but in the next second he opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards him.

Could it be her? Was it her wronged soul who came to claim her life?

Nakatani is non-religious.

In their line of work, if you believe in theories of ghosts and gods, how can you kill people.

But when passing by the church a few days ago, Zhongtani stopped in a strange way.Zhongtani looked up at the ruined church in front of him and the priest who walked through the door holding the Bible. He turned around and turned into the church.

People with ghosts in their hearts can't wash away their sins no matter how much holy light they bathe in.

Nakatani will continue to see black shadows.

Like a shadow, you can't find the source, and you can't drive away the evil spirits.

Dark circles under the eyes and swollen bags under the eyes are signs of severe sleep deprivation.

It was at this time that Inoue Chitsu came to visit.

Meeting in the reception room of the Karasuma Group, Nakatani ordered someone to make a cup of black tea for Inoue Chifu.

Chizuka Inoue was holding a cup to blow off cooling air. She took a sip of strong tea and looked at Mr. Nakatani: "Mr. Nakatani, haven't you been sleeping well recently, the dark circles under your eyes are so heavy."

Chizuka Inoue frowned full of worry, but without waiting for Nakatani to answer, she immediately added: "I know that the Karasuma Group's business involves a lot of secrets, but if there is anything I can help with, I would like to ask Mr. Nakatani to help you." Go ahead and order."

Nakatani was just holding the tea, his eyes that were slightly cloudy due to lack of sleep peeped at Chiku Inoue through the mist that emerged from the mouth of the cup.

He had heard Belmode mention that the newly promoted blond intelligence agent in the organization had been given the code name "Bourbon" a few days ago—it seemed to be Toru Amuro.The man was very interested in the little policewoman in front of him, and seemed to be planning to turn her into an obedient kitten sitting on his lap.

Belmode also casually reminded Nakatani not to do unnecessary things to Inoue Chizuka, that Bourbon guy hates others to shoot at his prey.

"Even if you are Belmode, can't you?"

At that time, Nakatani asked Belmode like this while stirring the espresso in his cup.

"Ha," Zhonggu only responded with a sneer from Belmode: "Don't look at that guy's respectful look to me, he is a guy who doesn't stand on any side, a complete mystic."

If it weren't for the fact that the intelligence capabilities and mission completion rate were so strong that no one could match, it would have been absolutely impossible for that gentleman to quickly reuse him and obtain the code name in just one year.

Withdrawing his thoughts from the memory, Zhonggu swallowed a sip of hot tea, with a hypocritical smile on his face: "It's okay, it's just that the couple upstairs often quarreled recently, and I couldn't sleep at all."

"Is that so..."

Chizuka Inoue tilted her head, she thought for a while, and took out a yellow sachet with the word "Auspicious" embroidered on it from her bag.

The four-finger-wide yellow sachet exudes a faint herbal fragrance. The seal is tied tightly with a red string, and a round artificial imitation jade product is dotted on the sachet mouth.

"Mr. Zhonggu, this is a fortune-telling talisman I asked for in the temple. Please accept it if you don't mind."

"Transporter?"

Mr. Nakatani was thoughtful.

Inoue Chisuke just showed a helpless smile: "I know that as a policeman, I shouldn't believe in these things, but I was too unlucky before. First, there was a bomb case, and then I was suspended from duty, and I was constantly injured while on duty, and even There was a heated argument with the gentleman at the explosives department..."

She pursed her lips with a restrained smile and said, "So I went to ask for this luck charm."

After that, Inoue Chizuru pursed her lips and said shyly, "Although I had a quarrel with the gentleman at the explosives department, but thanks to this luck charm, I was able to meet Mr. Amuro."

Seeing this, Zhonggu let out a cold snort from his snort, full of disdain - she is such a stupid woman who is hopelessly stupid.

After sending Inoue Chizuka away, Nakatani threw the yellow fortune talisman into the trash can without even looking at it.

The nightmare is still going on, and the figures are still entangled.

Nakatani, who does not believe in gods and ghosts, began to wander among various religious temples in his free time.

But to Nakatani's surprise, Chizuka Inoue visited the Karasuma Group again a week later.

"Mr. Nakatani, you have dark circles under your eyes, haven't you slept recently?"

The same question was asked again from Inoue Chizuka.

The movement of drinking tea stopped, Zhonggu squinted his eyes and stared at the opposite woman, his sinister gaze swept her up and down like a snake's venom.

But Chizuka Inoue just tilted her head and smiled with innocent eyes: "What's wrong?"

The worry and bewilderment on Qian Shu's face did not seem to be fake, she blinked her eyes and frowned, and after a little thought, she seemed to have suddenly realized.Qian Shu put down her teacup and apologized repeatedly to Nakatani: "It's my fault. After all, the Karasuma Group is a large company with a market value of hundreds of millions, but I asked this kind of question without authorization."

"I know that the Karasuma Group is involved in many matters, but if there is anything I can help with, please ask Mr. Nakatani."

The exact same dialogue, with different words and sentences, but how could Nakatani remember what he and Chizuka Inoue said in detail last week.

In his view, everything in front of him was like the past repeating itself.

Zhonggu put down the black tea in his hand, he frowned, his face was pale: "Inoue, do you know what you are talking about?"

Inoue Chisuke just tilted her head, showing an innocent and bewildered expression: "What?"

"……never mind."

Zhongtani raised his hand to push up his glasses, he rubbed the brows that were about to wrinkle into Sichuan characters, and his thinking fell into chaos for the first time.

——Probably due to long-term lack of sleep, appearance and confusion.

At least Zhonggu really thought so at this time.

It's like when you are doing something, you will find that everything that is happening in front of you seems to have experienced it before.Maybe it was in a dream, or maybe it happened in real life, but the time was reset.

Nakatani suddenly remembered the folklore he had heard a long time ago.

People who do not have psychic ability suddenly dream about what will happen in the future because they are entangled by evil spirits and the breath of living people is thin. Therefore, at a certain moment when the yin is extremely heavy, the soul wanders at the entrance of hell and glimpses the future.

When doing something, I suddenly feel that everything in front of me must have happened at a certain time in the past, because the exact same thing happened in a parallel world.It's just that the two time and space overlap briefly at a certain moment, allowing you to glimpse what you have done in that world, which creates a feeling of deja vu.

When he first heard these rumors, Nakatani looked disdainful, thinking that these were just tricks to deceive ignorant high school girls.

But in this situation, coupled with the continuous nightmares and ghosts, even Zhonggu, who regards human life as an ant, fell into confusion for the first time.Like ants trapped in a maze, their hands and feet are firmly trapped by thinking traps.

"Oh, that's right," Inoue Chisuke seemed completely oblivious to Nakatani's unusual expression, she smiled and clenched her fist into the palm of the other hand: "I have something nice for Mr. Nakatani."

After finishing speaking, Qian Shu turned around and found a yellow fortune amulet from her bag, held it in the palm of her hand and handed it to Zhong Gu as if offering a treasure.

"This is the luck charm I asked for a month ago. If Mr. Nakatani doesn't mind, please accept it."

The movement of rubbing his eyebrows stopped completely, and Nakatani stared at the luck charm held by Inoue Chizuru in the palm of his hand, staring so hard that his eyes hurt a little.

The transfer talisman quietly lying in Inoue's hand is so familiar.A red "Ji" character is embroidered on the slightly old yellow coarse cloth, sealed with red thread, and embellished with artificial jade beads.

"Well, I know a cop shouldn't believe this, but..."

Inoue Chisuke's babbling self-reported words, but Nakatani couldn't understand a single word.He squinted his eyes, fear written all over his face.

impossible!

This luck charm was obviously lost by him!Why did it appear on Inoue Chizuru's hand!

Nakatani bowed his waist and rubbed his short hair vigorously with his hands on his head. His nails scraped his scalp. It seemed that only the pain could calm him down temporarily.

The blood pressure rose, the redness of the face spread all the way to the neck, and the breathing began to become heavy, like a wild animal panting for air after running.

Inoue Chisuke was obviously frightened by Nakatani's series of reactions, she stopped and blinked her eyes full of panic: "Mr. Nakatani, what's wrong with you?"

But Nakatani just babbled while holding his head, as if he was talking to himself, Chizuka Inoue couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Just when Inoue Chizuru stood up, leaning over the table with both hands to hear what Nakatani was saying, Nakatani stood up suddenly.

He was like a wild beast that had been injected with drugs, his eyes were red, blood vessels burst under the skin of his forehead, and he was terrifying.

"Get out! Get out!"

"Get out of here!"

The table was overturned to the ground, the glass was smashed to the ground, and the hot black tea was splashed all over Inoue Chiju.With a cry of surprise, she picked up her bag and left the Karasuma Group without looking back.

The hunting competition officially begins.

The author says:

Except for the color barrier of Qianshu which involves metaphysics, other parts of this article are described on the basis of real science.Therefore, there will never be ghosts and other supernatural phenomena in this article. All abnormalities have cause and effect, and all ghosts are science.

There will be scientific demystification later, I have checked the information and confirmed it, not my own fabricated imagination.

As a newcomer and unpopular writer, emmm... 1000 nutrient solution is added once, how about it?

I don't know if this degree is suitable, but let's do it first.
