On The Earth, in the Magic City of Kyushu, outside a remote alley, police cars were parked on the roadside one after another, emitting shrill sirens.
"Missing person: Bai Yi, 17 years old, a sophomore in the Fifth National High School in the xx District of the Magic City. According to the investigation, after the target left school three days ago, he never contacted anyone again. Last night, his parents couldn't find him and called the police."
"According to the surveillance records, after Bai Yi left school three days ago, the last record of his journey was right here. However, after investigation, although this alley is remote, it's only 300 meters long in total and there are no side roads in the middle. But strangely, in the surveillance at the other end of the alley, the target was not found."
At the entrance of the alley, several investigators frowned slightly as they sorted out the clues of the case.
Because in the recent period.
It wasn't just in the Magic City.
Similar cases of missing persons had occurred in many places in Kyushu.
At first, these cases didn't alarm the higher authorities because on average, hundreds of thousands of people went missing in Kyushu every year. With such a large population base, it was impossible for them to attach great importance to every case.
But it was different during this recent period.
Because there had been many similar and strange cases.
Even in one of the cases they took over, the strangest one was that on a bustling square with people coming and going, a person suddenly disappeared on the square under the watchful eyes of many people.
And up to now, they still couldn't find that person.
Obviously, the missing case they took over this time must also be directly related to those cases that had happened during this period.
"Put it on record."
An investigator closed his notebook, shook his head, and said,
"Tell the family members of that student that we'll do our best to find the target. However, the chances of finding him might be very slim. But as long as there's a little clue, we'll definitely inform them immediately."
Saying that, another investigator sighed.
"There have been really more and more strange things recently. If they really encountered a supernatural event, I'm afraid they're already in great danger."
That investigator took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and said,
"The state has set up a special investigation team for the recent frequent missing cases. However, it's probably very difficult to find out anything. These cases have already exceeded our understanding."
"But it would be good even if we could find just one person. In that case, it would also relieve us of a lot of burdens."
He gave a bitter smile.
The other investigator shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. Let's go check other places. We can't just pray that the student will suddenly fall from the sky. Things in this world aren't that simple."
But just at the moment when he finished speaking.
Boom—
With a loud noise, a teenager who suddenly appeared out of thin air instantly smashed onto him.
That investigator (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)——
"Sir! Sir!! (ΩДΩ)!!"
On the ground, Bai Yi's eyes were swirling with vortices. He was lying on top of the twitching and foaming investigator, holding a piece of paper in his hand, murmuring, and was obviously unconscious.
...
In the hospital.
Bai Yi was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. One could vaguely see the hideous suture line on his chest.
It was terrifying, strange, and spine-chilling.
But strangely, there was a small tied bowknot under that suture line, which actually looked kind of cute.
"Preliminary diagnosis: The patient's physiological characteristics are normal, just with a slight concussion. He'll wake up soon."
In the ward.
Several professional doctors were gathered around the gray-haired dean, looking at Bai Yi on the hospital bed like a little white mouse. Behind them, several investigators with serious expressions were also following.
The dean adjusted his reading glasses, frowned, and said,
"However, for further details, we still need to wait for the X-ray results. And judging from the suture on his chest, he obviously had a laparotomy recently, and the person who sutured his wound had extremely rough techniques! !"
"In all my years as a doctor, this is the first time I've seen someone sew up a wound like it was a hemorrhoid and still manage to keep the patient alive!"
He was really angry.
"..."
The doctors around all stared wide-eyed, looking at their foul-mouthed dean, not daring to say a word.
The old dean took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and said,
"Sorry, I got a bit emotional."
Then he frowned and walked to Bai Yi's side to carefully observe his condition.
"Doctor." An investigator behind them stepped forward seriously and said,
"He should be okay for now, right?"
The old dean's brow was still furrowed, and he said, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
The investigator was startled and then asked, "Are you saying that besides the concussion, he has other injuries?"
"Yes, and it's quite serious."
"What?"
The old dean took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said,
"Come and see for yourself. I think it's better not to inform the family members for now."
Then the old dean lifted the blanket covering Bai Yi's lower body.
The investigator walked up curiously.
Taking a closer look.
The investigator (ΩДΩ) said, "Damn it!!"
Even though he had years of experience in handling cases, seeing this scene still made him feel that his mind had been greatly challenged and shocked.
What the hell was going on!
It was gone!
That place was completely bald with nothing there!
But it would be okay if it was just gone.
But why, judging from the wound surface, did it seem that what used to grow in this place didn't look like the thing used for urinating before!!
The old dean adjusted his reading glasses, frowned, and said,
"Preliminary diagnosis: The target should have undergone a physical castration. And judging from the technique, it was neat and tidy. The wound surface was very flat, cut off cleanly, and didn't endanger the patient's life. In all my years as a doctor, this is the first time I've seen something like this."
And just at this time, there was a knock on the door.
It was Officer Liu from the recently established special investigation team. After showing his ID, he walked in with a serious expression, followed by several members of the investigation team.
"I'm the detective in charge of the missing case. How's the target's condition? Is there any danger to his life?"
After hearing that the missing person had suddenly appeared, he immediately brought people here.
The old dean frowned and said, "There's no immediate danger for now. It's just that some tricky situations are not easy to handle."
"What situations?"
Officer Liu looked at the serious atmosphere around him and subconsciously looked at Bai Yi's exposed lower body on the hospital bed.
Taking a closer look.
Officer Liu (ΩДΩ) said, "Damn it!!"
He shuddered, experiencing unprecedented shock.
He subconsciously took a step back. Feeling the gazes from around him and realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly calmed down and turned his head.
"Sorry for my rudeness."
He turned his head and looked at the dean seriously, saying solemnly,
"Although I don't understand, I'm deeply shocked. Obviously, this child suffered extremely cruel torture during the period of his disappearance. But now, we must ensure his life safety and make sure he can recover as soon as possible."
