Chapter 317 Rumors
in the lens of the video recorder.

The expression of 'Earth Binder' was numb, he stared in the direction of the camera motionlessly, and did not respond to everything around him, including the interrogation by the Metropolitan Police Department

It was silent for a long time.

The Metropolitan Police who was in charge of the interrogation seemed to feel a little bored, and walked out of the room, leaving 'Earth Binder' alone inside.

"..."

However, even so.

The 'Earth Binder' in the interrogation room still didn't respond at all, staring at the camera dully.

Looking at the video that seemed to be paused, Sakai frowned and stretched out his hand to adjust the playback speed of the video.

As the video speeded up, the shadows of the lights in the interrogation room began to move, and the policemen came and went in and out, and the only thing that didn't move was the 'groundbinder' sitting on the chair.

This motionless state lasted for about two hours in the video. Just when Sakai felt a little bored, the policeman in the interrogation room went out again. The 'Earth Binder' in a numb state finally responded.

"coming!"

Seeing this scene, the expression on Sakai's face was shocked, and he quickly adjusted the speed of the video back to normal.

Under the video camera, the 'Earth Binder' raised his arms, making exactly the same movements as at the intersection, and then he stood up and walked back little by little, leaning against Sakai's gaze. On the wall of the interrogation room.

If so, up to this point, the actions of the 'Earth Binder' are still normal.

Then, what happened to him next was clearly beyond Sakai's imagination.

I saw the 'Earth Binder' leaning against the wall with his arms raised, and then saw from the video that his body gradually merged into the wall bit by bit, and finally the whole person was not inside.

After the 'Earth Binder' disappeared for a few minutes, the police outside reacted and entered the interrogation room.

"So, that's why the 'Earthbinder' disappeared."

After pressing the camera's pause button, Sakai digested his shock at seeing the 'Earth Binder' melt into the wall, and then he spoke.

He had been wondering why these 'Earth Binders' were still able to escape and return to the place of bondage after being taken away. At first he thought that those who were responsible for watching were not paying attention, but now it seems that the 'Earth Binders' They can't be trapped at all, they can escape from any trapped place, but their purpose is to return to another place where they are bound.

It has to be said that the method of escape of the 'Earthbinders' and their name form a wonderful irony.

……

On the Metropolitan Police Department's side, the investigation of the 'Earth Binder' is progressing slowly.

On the other hand, the news topic of 'Earthbinder' has gradually become hot after the media reports.

After all, the 'Earth Binder' is not a strange talk like Keiko appeared on the phone. They actually appear in various places in Horikawa, even if you don't look for them deliberately, you will find their traces inadvertently.

This is a fact that no matter how officials cover it up, it cannot be covered up.

More importantly, although there are a small number of 'Earth Binders' whose binding places interfere with traffic, more 'Earth Binders' appear in places that are not crowded, and some of them appear in alleys , some appeared in the park and some even appeared directly at home.

Therefore, even if the official wants to drive them away, there is no good reason or excuse.

After the media reports, the network publicity.

Many curious people began to flock to Kyoto, looking for traces of the 'Earth Binder' in various parts of Horikawa.

Some of them wanted to ask the reason why the 'Earth Binder' did all this, to seek answers, but more people were out of curiosity, wanting to see if what the media reported was true, or even simply 'Earth Binder' is used as a place to take pictures.

At first, this "earth-bound fever" gave the Kyoto government a headache, but it was surprising that the appearance of the "earth-bound man" actually brought an unexpected boost to local tourism.

But gradually, as the number of 'Earth Binders' increased, when 'Earth Binders' appeared in Kyoto other than Horikawa.

Originally still curious, the people who followed suit began to feel scared.

At the same time, rumors about the contagion of the 'Earthbinder' gradually began to spread on the Internet.

After the craze receded, the public began to appeal to the government to prevent the 'Earth Binder' from reappearing and to find out the source.

Unfortunately, neither officials nor experts have any clue about the existence of the 'Earthbinder'.

Even, because of the relationship between the 'Earth Binder', the cabinet, which had already plummeted in the polls, became the target of the people to vent their anger.

After learning all this, the former prime minister was even more grateful for his choice to resign, otherwise he would be the one who was scolded in his position now.

……

"Yes, as you can see, I'm at the 'Earthbinder' site."

Kyoto Prefecture, a reporter from Kyoto Broadcasting Co., Ltd., is doing the latest report on the just-appeared 'Earth Binder'.

Affected by rumors that the 'Earth-Binder' would be contagious, the reporter was wearing a protective suit, and turned to look at the motionless 'Earth-Binder' behind him with a very stiff and nervous expression on his face.

So far, no one knows the real reason for the emergence of these 'earthbound ones'.

However, under the exaggeration of the media and the Internet, the rumors about the contagion of the 'Earth Binder' have intensified, even the TV stations have been affected.

"What I'm photographing now is the anti-epidemic personnel from the Tokyo Health Bureau. They will isolate these 'ground-bound people' to confirm whether all this is really related to some unknown infectious disease."

In the camera footage of the local TV station, the staff of the health bureau wearing anti-epidemic suits approached cautiously in the direction of the 'Earth Binder'.

"Hello, we are the staff of the Health Bureau. Now we need you to cooperate with us to evacuate from the scene and conduct isolation to ensure that your illness will not continue to spread..."

"This way please."

While talking, the staff member reached out and grabbed the 'Earth Binder' in front of him, trying to break him away from the scene.

However, grabbing the 'Earth Binder''s arm, the staff found that the other's body was heavier than expected.

"Come and help, I can't pull him alone."

Gritting his teeth and grabbing the 'Earth Binder''s arm, the staff shouted to the colleagues beside him with difficulty.

"let me help you."

Hearing this, another staff member wearing an anti-epidemic suit stretched out his hand, but to his surprise, even if the two of them worked together, they still couldn't drag the "ground-bound man" in front of him away from the scene. .
