Live Kexue in Kexue World

=========================

In the clear night sky, the hanging Aldebaran shines brightly.

Near Sirius in Orion's belt, it's one of the easiest bright stars to find in the night sky.

In the outskirts of Tokyo, outside the cave near the dead lake.

A group of people with different expressions lowered their heads, holding a piece of black agate in their hands, and kept murmuring words of unknown meaning.

Surrounded by them is an unconscious woman.

Three days ago, the Metropolitan Police Department received a report from a group of brokers, claiming in a panic that they could not contact the teacher in charge.

It is very common for artists to have their own eccentricities, whether it is a painter like Tsukimine Mizu who bought a house with a panoramic view to paint Mount Fuji, or an architectural master Teiji Moriya who insists on symmetrical aesthetics.

The police believe that it is understandable not to inform the economic agent's whereabouts in order to inspire inspiration.

But the agent insisted on his own opinion: "The three teachers I am in charge of study in different fields, and they don't usually have any contact. How could they disappear at the same time as if they had made an appointment?"

He took out the envelopes he found at the teacher's house. There was a round damage on the outside of the envelope, which should have contained something.The contents were removed and only a few photos remained.

The content of the photo is unremarkable, a black agate brooch with a pattern of dots and curves painted on it by some kind of paint.

On the back of the photo is written in English:

*You can't refuse a yellowed invitation.

With pathetic punctuality, all the guests arrive.

"Please, please make sure to find the teachers!" The manager was like an ant on a hot pot, holding the photo and weeping anxiously.

The Metropolitan Police Department began to investigate. After a series of monitoring and eyewitness investigations, they found the approximate location of these artists and sent people to search the nearby locations.

Hatano Nao is one of the members who participated in the search.

She had already resigned from the search department at the end of last month and was transferred to the police academy as an instructor.Now, he was forced to join the investigation team by the reason of insufficient manpower by his former boss, and he called it the last radiance.

"Even the reserve police officers who haven't graduated from the police academy were dragged and searched together." The boss persuaded, "Hatano, you should work harder. It's not only the brokers who are looking for those teachers, but also their sponsors." and students, if they make a fuss, things will be troublesome."

Although she has a cold personality, Nao Hatano is not the type who is good at rejecting others, so she accepted this task without much hesitation.

The ground in the outer suburbs was muddy after it had just rained. Although the weather had cleared up, the wind was still strong at night, making rustling noises as the leaves blew across the trees.

She searched separately from the others, the light of the flashlight sweeping across the dark woods.

Except for their own footprints, there are no signs of human life here, and there are surprisingly few wild animals.

It seems that I have returned in vain, Nao Hatano thought so.

At this moment, a force came from behind and knocked her into a stagger.

The flashlight flashed twice, Nao Hatano turned around vigilantly, the light illuminated the face of the person behind him—it turned out to be the missing Teiji Moritani!

Long face, big ears, two mustaches, and a lot of mud on the green suit coat.

The strange thing is that his gaze, somewhat numb, was set far away, and he didn't pay attention to the person he just bumped into.

And it's weird that he would run straight into it. The woods are not as crowded as the road, and the fan-shaped light field from the flashlight is also very eye-catching. Unless you deliberately walk this way, it is difficult for the two people to collide.

"Mr. Moritani?" Nao Hatano tried to call him.

And Teiji Moritani ignored this, like a marionette, and took another step towards the direction he was looking at.

The portable walkie-talkie made a "sizzling" noise, and after taking out the mobile phone, I found that the signal was only one bar.Nao Hatano tried to call the team members, but just pressed the dial button, the signal blinked and disappeared.

All communication tools have turned into bricks, and she has to follow behind Moriya Teiji.

After walking out of the woods, her vision finally opened up, and she found that in front of her was a lake surrounded by mountains, and the missing artists were standing by the lake.

Like Teiji Moriya, their eyes were empty and numb, and they turned their heads in unison when they saw someone approaching.

This scene gave Nao Hatano goosebumps for no reason.

"You can't refuse the yellowed invitation," said the bright Aldebaran, the headed woman's lips parted and closed, "All the guests arrive on pathetic punctuality."

what?

Before he had time to think, a sharp pain appeared in the back of his head. Before falling down, Nao Hatano's last vision was the crowd approaching.They surrounded her, each holding a black stone in his hand.

A low and neat murmur came from the crowd——

"*In the utter end the king appeared, in his decaying splendor."

……

"So why did it become like this?" Ruobayashi Chunliang standing in the lake asked puzzled.

Without relying on any aids, he was standing in the middle of the black lake.The black cat, which is afraid of water, is stepping on his shoulders, jumping from one side to the other, and trying to climb on top of his head from the other side.

"I thought the basis of the "Character Card" should be human beings, not other magical creatures. "

The black cat was choked with sobs and could not speak for a long time.

It doesn't want to either!

……

After the two brothers' tasks were completed, the system fully upgraded Wakabayashi Haruliang's authority and gave him a new character card.

On Brandy's side, he followed Miyano Shiho to avoid the organization's pursuit, and also asked whether he should apply for MI6's assistance, but Miyano Shiho denied it.

She doesn't trust everyone except herself, Miyano Akemi and Brandy.

So after wandering around, they returned to the office again. This time Ruolin Chunliang did not take out Dan Techen, but appeared in front of them as a professor.

When meeting the professor for the first time, Miyano Shiho failed to connect the young man in front of him with the image of the professor of occultism.

Brandy showed the greatest degree of respect so far, he told the professor what had happened so far without reservation, and humbly asked for his opinion.

"I can let you stay here forever, but Miss Miyano is not a member of the firm." The professor sat on the sofa chair and said gently to Brandy, "But I have some extra news that may be useful to you help."

Then he happily sold Kudo Shinichi's affairs to Miyano Shiho.

"The organization couldn't find any news about Kudo Shinichi, because after taking that potion, he changed back to his seven-year-old appearance."

Miyano Shiho herself was skeptical, and Wakabayashi Haruliang's words gave her a new way of thinking.

If there is Kudo Shinichi's physical data to improve APTX4869 to make it stable, the identity of the child will become an excellent disguise.

"If you are worried, I can contact Martini for you," Ruolin Chunliang said, "At least you can get the organization's movements regularly, but..." He looked at Brandy, "If it's Eugene, I can do it too Well, maybe you don't need Martini's help."

"Eugene?" Brandy was quite at a loss, "Why? I don't know where he is?"

Ruolin Chunliang didn't continue talking.

In his plan, Brandy doesn't need to think about Eugene now. If he really thinks about it, it's his style to go directly to organize and kidnap talents--Camu's identity is much more useful than Eugene's, and it's not right now. This needs to change.

Miyano Shiho obviously thought of something too.

Eugene let them off for the time being, but no one knew if there would be another moth on Brandy's side.

Suppressing the guilt in her heart, she didn't tell Brandy about Eugene.

"Let's go to Kudo Shinichi," she decided, "but there is no need to contact the organization."

She is also skeptical of Professor Ruobayashi Chunliang.

Ruo Lin Chunliang didn't feel offended, and nodded with a smile.

According to the current situation, among the investigators under the firm, there are organization cadre Martini, former FBI and MI6, current researcher Eugene, and honorary member Brandy.

And that Dante Chen who has a strange physique.

These members seem to have a certain degree of trust in Wakabayashi Haruliang, and they don't shy away from what he does.Even a person with weird brain circuits like Eugene would honestly put all the books on the floor back on the shelf before leaving.

On the other hand, this professor doesn't mind his investigator's other identities and positions.

This is so weird.

Therefore, during the few days when Eugene was researching drugs, Miyano Shiho first asked Brandy to send Miyano Akemi abroad to settle down, and he entrusted the professor to find the shrunken Kudo Shinichi.

Wakabayashi Chunliang didn't know what agreement they reached, when Brandy returned to Mihua Town, Miyano Shiho had already turned into a child.

She successfully stabilized the efficacy of APTX4869. Although there is no finished antidote yet, she can no longer care about the current situation.

Miyano Shiho, who changed his name to Haibara Ai, asked Brandy if he wanted to take medicine, but was rejected as expected.

"I still want to find Eugene. It will be very troublesome if I become a child."

This was the reason he gave, but in fact Ruolin Chunliang was a little moved.

Miyano Shiho's improved APTX4869 is completely different from Eugene's progress. In her study, the side effects of APTX4869 were not so serious.

The physiological level of the human body will return to childhood, but it is not completely static.In other words, even if there is no antidote, they can still "grow up" normally.

The side effects of Eugene's "Avrgomon" are much greater. The body cells will go back to a certain period. After that, the normal evolutionary routes of all cells are blocked, and the biological cells are maintained in the current state of continuous circulation. iteration cycle.

In other words, it will not change until death - and may not even die normally.

Just like its name, Avgomon, the old master of time, those creatures who trespassed into the realm of time will bear his wrath and suffer eternal pain and torment.

But the black cat said that if the physiological level returns to childhood, the various data of the character card will also undergo some changes, and Brandy's data will be greatly reduced.

This is his most playable card on the physical level, and if it is weakened, it will not be worth the loss.

Things on Eugene's side were much simpler. After obtaining the identity of Camus, he nestled in the laboratory and started researching. During this period, he also contacted Shuichi Akai once.

Akai Hideichi didn't expect that it was just one night's work, and he just told his teammate that he was gone, and the other party was still very invisible, so he specially called him to explain the news that he had quit.

Akai Shuichi: "...Do you still remember that we are here to investigate the organization's recent movements?"

Let you investigate, not let you join!

"It doesn't matter. If the FBI doesn't cancel my identity, you can also regard my behavior as an undercover operation, just like what you did before, but I should do better than you." Eugene said He said on the phone, "Now you can also go back to report on your work. The recent movement of the organization is that a new researcher has been replaced."

Akai Shuichi: "..."

"If you have any information you want to know, you can also contact me, as long as you exchange Brandy's movements." Eugene said.

Akai Shuichi simply hung up the phone.

The matter here came to an end, and when it was time to start the next task, Ruobin Chunliang fell into deep thought as he stared at the blank new card.

【Name: ■■■■】

【Gender: 】

No information at all!

"Naiya definitely didn't do this on purpose!" The black cat tried to fool him, "Hey, just fill it in, anyway, you can call other cards at the same time now, and according to your level of script writing, there will be no problem at all! "

Ruolin Chunliang: "..."

No matter how he asked, the black cat killed him. This is a system problem. It's just a poor innocent kitten.

Therefore, Ruobin Chunliang can only fill in the values ​​that are not easy to make mistakes without knowing anything.

【Name: ■■■■】

【Reputation: 50】

This is the legend, because I was afraid of accidents, I dodged all points.

The black cat muttered and made no objection.

The feeling of changing the character card was the same as before, his senses were pulled out, and after a huge trance, the sense of existence gradually filled the whole body.

The moment Ruolin Chunliang opened his eyes, he heard the scream of the black cat: "Run!"

Before he could react, a thunderous growl behind him quickly approached.

The body moves first, Ruo Lin Chunliang's agility is very high, which also ensures that his movements are very flexible.The surrounding environment is very strange, the surroundings are filled with fog, and the place where each step is stepped is not like a plane, but some kind of elastic long line.

Growling kept a certain distance, Ruolin Chunliang tried to look back.

Those are five monsters. They look like wolves, and their eyes glow red like magma. When you watch them for a long time, you will find that their outlines seem to be constantly changing, evolving in a more evil and terrifying direction.

"Run until you find a corner!" said the black cat. "The Hounds of Tindalos will be on the trail of all time-traveling creatures!"

The Hounds of Tindalos are a type of undead creatures that exist in the continuous timeline. Once they find the existence of other time spaces, they will go out like hounds until they kill the prey.

Hearing a certain key word, Ruolin Chunliang immediately understood that this time might be a different task time from before, and he asked while running: "This has happened before, but at that time I didn't encounter Tindalos. hound?"

"Because your sense of existence is getting stronger and stronger, the creatures in the universe are starting to..." the black cat said vaguely, "but once your soul has completely entered the character card, they will no longer keep up—— Front!"

Sure enough, a corner suddenly appeared in front of it out of thin air. Both sides of the corner were made of black film. When approaching, a strange smoke spewed out from there. In the smoke, the Tindalos Hound exactly like the one behind slowly emerged. Approximate appearance.

"Jump into the smoke!" cried the black cat.

Looking at the creature that was about to reveal its full appearance in front of him, Ruolin Chunliang calmly gave an order: "I want to use the "Dodge" skill——"

"Are you sure you want to use 90 points of "Dodge"? "

"determine."

【"24"】

["Dodge" check succeeded]

The Hound of Tindalos roared and jumped up, the sharp vacuum tube on the top of its head stabbing him head-on. A successful "dodge" made him lower his center of gravity, avoiding the simultaneous attacks at the same time at an extremely tricky angle.

Sliding almost close to the ground made him sink into the smoke that hadn't completely disappeared.

——The world unfolds before my eyes again.

but……

Ruo Lin Chunliang stood in the middle of the lake, the cool lake water barely covered his waist, lowered his head, the huge lake reflected his current appearance.

Long black hair hanging down to the lake, a terrifying animal-shaped skull, a pair of shining pupils in the eye sockets of the skull, and a pair of huge elk antlers on the top of the head, exuding the breath of blood and corruption all over the body.

He was able to stand in the lake not because of any unnatural factors, but simply "standing".

This body is also dominated by skeletons, with brown bear-like hair attached to the shoulders, and slender and sharp bony spurs on the limbs.

This is a "monster" that is at least ten meters long.

——So why did it become like this?

"Because of those damn beasts, you didn't arrive at the correct timeline..." the black cat choked up, "It was supposed to be an 'ordinary human' before the human summoning ceremony, but they seem to have completed the summoning..."

"You seem to have misunderstood 'ordinary humans'... so my character card this time is a mysterious creature transformed after being summoned?"

The black cat raised its head and said loudly: "Mysterious creature? Be confident, you are the closest existence to Itakua in this world!"

After hearing Itakua's name, Wakabayashi Haruliang fell silent.

The black cat lowered its head guiltily again.

[Spider is so cute: What is Itakua?Kind of like Warcraft? 】

"It's the Old One that was discovered in the Arctic to sub-Arctic regions..." Of course, Ruobayashi Chunliang knew that he couldn't have the character card of the Old One, at best it was something like a possessed dependent.

Otherwise that is too much.

Completely different from Dan Techen's star color, Itakuya has broken away from the category of "creature", and can be called a kind of "god" by definition.

But there are very few people who believe in Itakua, and they are basically in extremely cold places like Siberia, and it is not out of worship, but some kind of appeasement.

So what brainless human wants to summon this "walking death"?

Then, he quickly discovered something.

The crowd around the lake should be "brainless humans" performing rituals. In the eyes of Ruobin Chunliang, they are only the size of chicken cubs, covering their heads in pain, and exclaiming "no", "It's not like that", "The Merciful Shepherd God"...

It looks like a collapse where dreams and reality have seriously deviated.

"There were some mistakes in the ceremony," the black cat said with some reluctance. "To put it simply, they wanted to summon the father, but they called out the son...but fortunately, otherwise our mission would be completely over!"

As soon as the voice fell, the mission panel popped up——

[Survival mission: Crazy artist, please don't affect others when you go crazy]

[Task Difficulty: Normal]

[Task Requirement 1: Clear the memory of human beings who have witnessed the Yellow Seal]

[Task Requirement 2: Propagating the Great Mysticism to the audience]

[Mission description: Humans often see the yellow seal of the "unknown" inadvertently, but that's okay, the yellow seal that has not been activated is just an ordinary pattern-dangdangdang, which big grudge wants to activate the yellow seal? India, come out and punch me! ! 】

[Mission Reward: New Character Card x1]

[Mission countdown: 30 days]

As early as when the black cat said about father and son, Ruolin Chunliang guessed the object that the ceremony originally intended to summon—the unspeakable, the lord of the star sea in deep space, and Hastur, the king in yellow.

So the original process should be:

A group of devotees attempt to summon Hastur, their faith, with the Yellow Seal.

Since the yellow seal itself is very special, everyone who has seen it will realize what kind of scene they have witnessed after the yellow seal is activated.This is like a curse, and every night in the future will suffer from nightmares.

To put it simply, the human beings who have seen the yellow seal have to evaporate their sanity every night... After evaporating to a certain value, they will naturally fall into permanent madness.

The task requires him to erase the memory of humans seeing the Yellow Seal, so that even if Hastur answers the call, there will not be a large number of humans going crazy.

Now the ceremony went wrong, and the yellow seal was not activated, so the task was not counted as a failure.

but……

"Do you want me to appear in front of human beings with this image?" Ruolin Chunliang was quite speechless, "I don't think they need to wait for them to go crazy in the future. After seeing 'me', they should be close to going crazy right away, right?"

The black cat almost shed tears, and it circled his shoulder impatiently, "... Let Naia think about it, damn beasts... There should be a way, Itakua...Itakuta He...Nia knows!!!"

It glanced around, and suddenly jumped off Ruolin Chunliang's shoulder, but it didn't fall into the lake, but leaped to the edge of the lake.

Among the crazy crowd, the black cat stood in front of the woman who had stopped breathing.

"Although Itakua is a bit unattractive compared to his father, it can still be easily done by possessing a dependent!"

"……so what?"

"There is a ready-made family member here." The black cat pointed at the woman, "Others believe in Itakua's father, and there is no way to forcefully transform into your family member. But she is dead, and the corpse worships it" Isn't "walking death" a logical thing? "

Ruolin Chunliang: "..."

It sounds somewhat preposterous.

"Hurry up, someone is coming!" the black cat urged, "Why are you still hesitating?"

The light of the flashlight could be vaguely seen in the woods not far away. Wakabayashi Chunliang had no other choice but to invoke Itakua's authority as suggested by the black cat.

The terrifying giant on the surface of the lake instantly disappeared into the air, leaving only the echoing water waves.

After he completely devoted his existence to that corpse, the character card on the panel was immediately refreshed.

【Name: Nao Hatano】

【Gender: Female】

【Age: 25】

【Occupation: Instructor of the Police Academy (formally supplemented by the Police Department of the First Search Division)】

【Hometown: Tokyo, Japan】

[Physical Strength: 11/11]

[Sanity: ■■]

【Lucky: 50】

【Reputation: 80】

The previous value is completely blank.

When Ruolin Chunliang slowly opened his eyes, the people in the woods finally arrived.

The leader was a mature-looking man with neat short hair and two thick eyebrows: "Are you all right? Mr. Yutano?"

The four people following him began to investigate the people around them who were still in a state of madness.

"These are the guys we're looking for, right? The whole grade has been mobilized. I didn't expect it to be such a group of lunatics." The person Ruobin Chunliang should know but didn't know that much searched around, and finally squatted beside him Before, "Mr. Yutano?"

"you……"

"Me?" Seeing the person in front of him staring at him, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of the other person's eyes, "I'm Fugu Rei, teacher?"

Looking at Bourbon, who is obviously much younger, Ruolin Chunliang can only lament how small the world is.

And Bourbon, you've lost even the last of your underpants with me.

When Bourbon, the young man who is still only Jiang Guling, was about to reach out to help him, the black cat suddenly said: "Be careful, you are a 'corpse' now, it will be terrible if something is found."

Ruolin Chunliang: "Understood, but how do I judge who has seen Huang Yin? And how do I erase their memory?"

"As the heir of Hastur, the king in yellow, you will know it when you see it. As for erasing the memory, Naia will remind you what to do."

After the start of the mission with twists and turns, Ruolin Chunliang can finally start his mission this time.

"She" avoided Jiang Gu Ling's hand, and nodded at him with a cold face: "I'm fine, classmate Jiang Gu. Thank you for your hard work, take them back to the police station first."
