Hey! I've become more agile!

Jun Sakuma was initially delighted, but then he realized: there was a thermos of hot water at his feet, thankfully the stopper was closed; otherwise, he might not have caught Samuel…

"Samuel, would you like to take a hot bath?" Jun Sakuma asked with a laugh as he put him back.

"Do not want to."

After leaving behind two words, Samuel vanished in a streak of light.

"...You're not angry, are you?" Jun Sakuma himself realized that his earlier thought was a bit impolite, after all, Samuel was talking to him about serious matters!

“I got my internship salary,” Jun Sakuma said, feeling like he was back in the early days of job hunting after graduating from university. “Do you still want pudding? It’s a bit chilly now, but if you like it…”

"Do not want to."

"I understand, you think about it."

Samuel remained silent.

When Genzo heard another person in the hall, a newspaper intern who described himself as a composed middle-aged man named Jun Sakuma, laughing like a barbell.

Inside the Light Chaser's Medal.

Aiba Yu went back to the cabin.

Of course he wasn't angry.

The smile lingered on his face, then vanished abruptly, followed by a suppressed cough from inside the door.

……

For those living in this city, the past few days have been anything but peaceful.

Especially those who saw the "black lightning".

Yuanchuan's memory was not erased this time. For this, he signed no less than ten guarantees or other documents. He left the memory police station with the words "We will keep an eye on you" on his back.

Shuto Saya, Matsunaga Yoichiro, and others held a long meeting about this.

After Shintaro Hirata was transferred, the new inspector was a woman named Sara Mizuhara.

She appeared somewhat aloof and serious, not someone easy to talk to, but after reading Yuanchuan's report on dealing with small alien beasts, she remained silent for a long time before casting her crucial vote on "not to eliminate."

He told Cang Yingfu that he hadn't expected her choice.

Her response was: "You see another possibility. I see a person from the past, and... the work of the memory police needs to be re-evaluated."

"Because of small alien beasts?"

"No, because of the stability of the River of Oblivion."

Yuanchuan had no idea what TLT was up to.

He was only glad that he didn't have to have his brain scrambled again. As for the mysterious men in black suits worrying about "spreading the word," Yuan Chuan thought they were worrying unnecessarily.

That monster, Banib, is Yan Erlang. Why would he tell others that Yan Erlang has turned into a monster?

If this gets out, how heartbroken will Yan Erlang's wife, children, and parents be?

Wasn't his quick-thinking excuse of "the material tank exploding" a good one? It really did explode, so he wasn't exactly lying.

In the factory area, former and current hosts confirm clues about the alien beasts.

Jun Himeya obtained a photography permit under the guise of a newspaper reporter. When the factory owner heard that he planned to photograph "a star company that has persevered through the earthquake and is moving towards tomorrow with vigor," his face lit up with a smile like a vibrant sunflower.

He warmly introduced the factory's reconstruction to the two visiting guests and extended a formal invitation to them to visit Workshop No. 3, which had been ravaged by an explosion the day before and was now being rebuilt.

The factory owner reminded him to remember to write down the insurance company's strong support, so that his daily, irregular harassment—no, friendly visit—would not have been in vain.

Although the insurance company probably doesn't want to mention him again, let alone see their name associated with the factory.

Senju Rei "saw" what happened that day and told Himeya Jun about it.

The latter wrote down his account in detail and looked for the best angle to take the picture.

This would be a better subject than simply writing about the battle between giants and Barnebu: how ordinary people escaped from Barnebu's clutches and even defeated him.

"If you write it, will the protagonist still be named Yuanchuan?" Qian Shulian asked.

“That will cause him trouble,” Himeya Jun said to Chiju Rei after carefully examining the workshop. “Usually, he would have to change his name. ‘Toukawa’… he could use the alias ‘Tono’.”

"And what about me?" Qian Shulian was eagerly anticipating her own story: "I've read 'The Raging Phoenix,' so you're planning to write about me, right? Have you thought of a pseudonym yet?"

Himeya Jun was too embarrassed to tell him that Negoro Jinzo always referred to "the suitable person" as "the capable person," and whether it was based on himself, Senju Rei, or Sakuma Jun, no name would appear.

Seeing how interested he was, I could only reply, "Chiki..."

"The surname 'Chiki' is so strange." Chiki Rei was somewhat disappointed.

"Cough," I can't exactly tell...

"You're the one I just thought of," Himeya Jun understood his desire for more people to know about his affairs—or more accurately, to leave more traces of his existence. So he stopped being perfunctory and said seriously, "I'll talk to Gen about it and find a suitable and nice-sounding alias."

The latter laughed upon hearing this, which inevitably reminded one of the cream on a coffee topped with ice cream.

The workshop had been cleaned by the white-clad cleaners, and apart from the damaged equipment, there was no trace of any small alien beasts.

But with Senju Rei's "live report," Himeya Jun was able to find the location of every scene, including the corner where Touka finally hid.

He photographed the twisted railings, the collapsed storage tanks that have not yet been righted, and the epicenter of the explosion, following the sequence of events.

The final shot focuses on the ventilation opening in the high wall, much like a first-person perspective, sitting in the spot where Yuan Chuan is hiding, looking up at the sunlight projected through the fan blades.

With small alien attacks occurring frequently these days, no matter how hard the memory police work, public opinion inevitably spirals out of control.

It's just a matter of time before the truth is revealed.

In the eyes of many insiders, it's only a matter of time before this secret is exposed, and it won't be long.

Maybe, it's right in front of us.

Chapter 136 My Luck

[Dear viewers, the following is a report from our on-site reporter.]

[“Everyone! The barrier is incredibly high! I’m currently standing at a station about a kilometer away from it. Getting any closer is impossible; the area is already cordoned off! As you can see, if you scale it up, this barrier is approximately nearly a kilometer high! It’s unbelievable!”]

"It's so noisy around me! The photographer can take a picture of the crowd around me discussing it! As we all know, there's a lot of evidence that the story of the Banib monster and the giant has actually happened. If the 'Black Lightning' incident was a beginning, then this barrier is the complete opening!"

"Let's interview this gentleman. He's been talking about Barnibu's story since earlier, so he seems to know a lot about it. Hello, sir, may I ask your name?"

["Wei Bai, Wei Bai Gaozhi."]

"Have you been here before this white barrier appeared?"

"Yes, I'm an employee of Needle Nest Amusement Park. I came to the station to pick up some goods today, and I saw a Banib monster fly down from the sky, and then a barrier appeared! The amusement park is still inside that barrier! I don't know what to do now. They won't let us get close, and I can only watch helplessly!"

"Why are you so sure it's the Barnib monster?"

"Is that even a question?! It was this thing that emerged from the sky before the last black lightning appeared!"

【…】

Baolucao's Haunted House for the Elderly.

The others went off to fight or conduct interviews, leaving Qixia and Huali behind, their eyes glued to the online news reports on the latest developments.

These messages are not shown on television; TLT has implemented controls.

However, they cannot control online messages sent by individuals. The "Fantasy Paradise" forum has long been frequented by industry insiders who have caught wind of something amiss. Now that the incident has become impossible to cover up, all kinds of reports are flying around like snowflakes.

The barrier, nearly a kilometer high, kept everyone inside from finding out, while those outside were blocked by a well-trained team. The entire city, and countless eyes watching from across the media, were focused on it.

For TLT, the most important thing now is not how to quell public opinion, but to resolve the crisis and confirm the safety of the citizens trapped inside.

As long as the people inside are still alive, and what emerges after the barrier is removed is not an alien beast, there is still room for negotiation.

Despite being mentally prepared, things always happen unexpectedly.

Huali hugged Qixia's arm tightly: "Sister, will Dad and the others be alright?"

"No, wait a little longer, and Huali will see that everyone inside has been rescued by your father."

……

Inside the barrier, Nonomiya Mizuki lost sight of Senju Rei, who had suddenly disappeared.

People kept running past him as they fled for their lives, making this young man, who was going against the flow of people, stand out conspicuously.

Her forehead was slightly damp with sweat, and her bangs were stuck to her face. Nonomiya Mizuki looked around anxiously, but she couldn't find the familiar figure in the orange clothes.

Adults carrying children ran by, people pushing wheelchairs ran by, and young people holding each other's hands ran by.

They rushed to the edge of the barrier, thinking they could find help there.

"Wow! Mom—"

She was an adult holding a child. She was wearing wedge heels, which are not as convenient as flat shoes. In the chaos, her heel got stuck in a crack in the brickwork and she tripped and fell.

The child was cushioned by her arm and was fine, just a little frightened. She herself bumped her waist and couldn't stand up for a while.

“Ren, Ren… Ah!” Nonomiya Mizuki gritted her teeth and turned back to help the mother holding the child. She was worried about Chiju Ren, but she couldn’t bear to see someone in need suffer misfortune in front of her.

At this point, there are no mission objectives.

As a memory police officer, her motivation for erasing memories is to protect citizens. Now that citizens are in danger, she naturally cannot forget her duty.

"Ren, please be alright." Nonomiya Mizuki helped pick up the child and ran with the child's mother towards the edge of the barrier.
