"So you all saw the shadow monster?"

"Yes, it is!"

Looking at the column of "narrative of surrender", Wu Zhenzhe, who was filling out the investigation report based on their surrender, sighed.

'How should I report this?'

The thought of reporting such unbelievable things as shadow monsters and twenty-four hour curses gives me a headache.

at this time.

Wu Zhenzhe felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and turned his head to see that it was his senior.

"Zhenzhe, let the old man write the investigation report, you come with me to the meeting room first."

'Conference room?'

Recently, due to the shadow monster incident, there have been fewer crimes.

But this time a meeting was held suddenly?

'What is it......'

The senior ignored Wu Zhenzhe's surprised eyes, turned around and walked into the conference room.

Wu Zhenzhe also stood up from his chair in doubt.

"Leave it to me here, senior."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After encouraging the youngest who took care of all chores, Wu Zhenzhe followed the detectives into the meeting room.

"What? Do you want to put the surrendered person back?

"Hey, keep your voice down. You'll hear it from outside."

Wu Zhenzhe asked again in disbelief.

"You want to put back all the people who surrendered themselves. What does this mean?"

"Not to put them back, but to let them go and let them see what happens after 24 hours."

After hearing the opinions of the senior criminal police, the criminal police at the same level said with a bitter face.

"Senior, those guys are definitely talking nonsense after taking too much medicine. Maybe the monster or something is a new side effect this time."

"But the results of the drug test are all normal? I even made a trip to the Scientific Research Institute to confirm the results."

"That is......"

"Even if it's the side effects of the medicine, can the medicine really make three people who have no connection with each other say they saw the same monster and decide to surrender?"

"..."

The detective at the same level closed his mouth.

The meeting of the detectives is still going on.

"The superior's instructions have been issued for a long time, but we still don't have any clues. Otherwise, is there another way? Even if we use this method, we still need to get some clues."

Immediately afterwards, the detectives who initially expressed their disapproval also nodded.

If all were seeing the same vision, the clue might be in their "nonsense".

"So it is necessary to create conditions for the realization of their nonsense."

Wu Zhenzhe, who remained silent, asked a question.

"What if something happens to them?"

"......?"

"......?"

The detectives who were discussing things kept looking at Wu Zhenzhe.

"Hahaha."

"Hahahahaha."

They looked at Wu Zhenzhe and laughed.

"Detective Wu, do you really believe in ghosts or something?"

"You don't look like someone who believes in these things. It seems that our detective Wu is more emotional than expected?"

"Hahaha-"

Of course, Wu Zhenzhe did not believe in these ghosts and gods.

but.

Since everyone saw the same vision, there must be a reason.

For some reason, Wu Zhenzhe felt a little ominous from the statements of those who surrendered, as if he was looking at something in the dark.

It cannot be easily provoked.

He had this hunch.

The monitor seemed to have misunderstood Wu Zhenzhe's concerns. He patted the worried Wu Zhenzhe on the shoulder in a reassuring manner.

"Nothing will happen, Detective Wu. We will quietly take a surrendered person to a place like a warehouse to see what happens. There will be several strong criminal police guarding him, how could he escape?"

"It can't be that you really believe in ghosts or something?"

Seeing the monitor's questioning eyes, Wu Zhenzhe nodded as if admitting defeat.

The squad leader smiled again.

"Very well, if what they said really happened after twenty-four hours, shouldn't that be something you and I should be thankful for?"

These guys often break into the homes of the elders to take money, and even kill the resisting elders.

"These guys really shouldn't be sent to a prison where meals are provided regularly, but should be torn apart by those monsters."

The squad leader said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"That should require support..."

Looking at Wu Zhenzhe, the squad leader smiled slyly.

"If Detective Wu really doesn't want to, he can quit."

"..."

Anyone with social experience knows that such words mean that you must never quit.

Although he was not very willing in his heart, after struggling for a while, Wu Zhenzhe let go.

"No, I'll go too."

***

"Xing, Mr. Criminal Police! I really can't do it! I'm really going to die!"

"Be honest. We have something to investigate."

"I'm really going to die!"

"Hey, what's not dead? We'll be by your side. Detective Jin, how many hours are left in 24 hours?"

"Let me see... there are about thirty minutes left. "

"Really? It's so cold."

Although it's spring, it's not completely warmed up yet. The detectives exhaled a white breath from their mouths.

In the early hours of the morning, the warehouse was very quiet.

The detectives waited boredly aside.

only one person.

Only Wu Zhenzhe looked around with sharp eyes and remained vigilant.

'Different...'

For some reason, the surrounding air is a little different from usual.

He felt that there was an absolutely unapproachable existence approaching here.

In order to calm down, Wu Zhenzhe began to take deep breaths like a circle.

In this way, the time warned by the shadow monster is gradually approaching.

"Hmm...is it time?"

A detective looked at his watch and said.

"Really?"

Tick, tick.

The twenty-four hours that the surrenders keep stressing have passed.

"..."

"..."

Should it be taken for granted?

Nothing happened, and there were no signs.

"what?"

The anxious criminal policeman glared at the surrendered man, and the surrendered man who was still trembling raised his head.

He also showed an expression that he didn't know anything.

"Huh...?"

No one should see it.

The criminal police surrounded the surrendered person and threatened him to speak out.

"Hey, did you all take the same medicine as a group?"

"Don't be tricky, speak quickly. Don't waste our time."

After looking around to make sure everything was fine, the surrendered person scratched the back of his head.

"No, we really saw that at that time. In fact, there were four of us in the beginning..."

Just when he said this, Wu Zhenzhe, who was always vigilant, shouted to the criminal police.

"Get out of there! Get out of there!"

'What is he talking about?'

The detectives looked at Wu Zhenzhe very puzzled, but suddenly, all the detectives flew backwards.

"Ugh!"

"cough!"

The detectives who rolled on the ground a few times did not know if they lost consciousness, and lay motionless on the ground one by one.

Wu Zhenzhe ran to the criminal policemen to check their situation, but he stopped in place immediately.

before his eyes.

The monster that gradually emerged from the shadows came into his sight.

"what......"

Already unable to make a sound.

My heart feels suffocated.

That... no, those things are definitely not human.

Insects with human limbs have ant heads instead of human heads on their necks.

Wu Zhenzhe's pupils vibrated violently.

'There are three monsters like this!'
