Ultra Galaxy: If you have a mountain in your heart, everywhere is the mountain behind you

The next morning.

Ginza district in Tokyo.

Below the towering office buildings, two prosperous streets are separated by a small river.

Next to the river fence, in a small flat park, on a wooden bench.

Sitting there was a short-haired woman dressed professionally in a gray suit with a black shoulder bag beside her.

She glanced at her watch from time to time.

As if waiting for someone.

"Oh, sorry, I'm late." The man in a beige suit over a yellow floral shirt came up to her and greeted her.

The man was of large build, also carrying a black briefcase across his shoulder and wearing silver-rimmed glasses.

Both are journalists.

However, the man, Jinzo Negoro, is a freelance journalist, while the woman, Megumi Sakuda, is a reporter for a newspaper.

The two had known each other a long time ago.

Likewise, they all knew a former reporter named Himeya Jun.

"Mr. Negoro...this." Sakuda Megumi took out a silver old-fashioned mobile phone from her bag and handed it to Negoro Jinzo.

a few days ago.

Negoro Jinzo had contacted Sakuda Megumi before and gave this phone to her.

Entrust her to hand it over to me today.

He also specifically instructed that the phone must not be discovered by a third person, and hoped that she would not open the contents inside at will.

At first, Sakuda Megumi didn't understand what Negoro Jinzo meant.

Out of friendship, she decided to help.

I met Negoro Jinzo today.

She suddenly discovered that Mr. Nekoro's face was much less gloomy than the last time they met.

"What is this?" Negoro Jinzo took the phone, frowned and asked in confusion.

Why suddenly give yourself a mobile phone?

"This is what you asked me to give it to you today." Sakuda Megumi explained.

Then I was also confused.

"Mr. Nekoro, don't you remember?"

"this......"

Negoro Jinzo turned on his phone with a puzzled look on his face.

Played with it for a while.

I found that there was nothing special in the phone except a piece of audio.

To clear up the doubts in your heart.

He clicked on the audio clip.

Suddenly.

A familiar voice came.

Negoro Jinzou reacted instantly, this was actually his own voice! ?

"You must remember everything I am about to say and believe the authenticity of this recording."

"I have confirmed that those people in black suits have the ability to erase other people's memories."

"I left this recording to prevent them from erasing my memory someday."

"If nothing goes wrong, I will deliver this recording to Ms. Sakuda, and then pass it on to my future self."

"If you have lost this memory."

"Then listen carefully to what I say!"

"Now, you are pursuing a truth that is being concealed by a powerful force."

"The recent frequent cases of missing persons are not as simple as they seem."

"There is something lurking in the darkness that is harming humanity. Most of the people who have seen it are dead, and those who survived have had their memories wiped out."

"That force covered up those cases as accidents."

“I haven’t made any breakthroughs yet.”

"But you must find Himeya, he knows the truth behind all this."

"Remember, you must find Himeya!"

"Next, I will go to Shinjuku to collect some information."

"If your memory has been lost, then the reason is in Shinjuku."

"Find the truth behind all this and make it public. This is what you have to do!"

"Listen up, future me!"

The audio playback is complete.

silence.

The sound of rushing water and distant vehicles were the only sounds.

Negoro Jinzo's eyes gradually grew bigger.

Holding the phone tightly.

"They...they actually erased my memory!" Negoro Jinzo said gritting his teeth, his heart filled with anger.

He has no idea when he recorded the audio.

I can’t remember it now.

But he could feel that part of his memory seemed to have been taken away by someone.

"Himeya...?" When Sakuda Megumi, who was standing next to her, heard the surname, she immediately looked at Negoro Jinzo.

"Do you have any news about Himeya-kun!?"

She stood up directly and asked Genrai Jinzo with an anxious look on her face.

They had known each other a long time ago, when Himeya Jun was still a passionate young man.

The two worked at the same newspaper.

Sakuta Megumi witnessed with her own eyes how Jun Himeya exposed the darkness in society time and time again, and also watched Jun Himeya go from being passionate to self-destructive and full of disappointment in humanity.

When Himeya Jun wanted to run to the battlefield, she dissuaded him countless times, but ultimately failed to stop him.

later.

Himeya Jun's photographs have received international acclaim.

She found Himeya Jun and wanted to congratulate him.

However, he discovered that at that time, Himeya Jun had become full of holes, and he could only barely become a walking corpse by relying on alcohol to numb himself every day.

She was very heartbroken and wanted to help him, but she had no idea how to make the man who was determined to die return to the person she knew him to be.

At last.

Himeya Jun disappeared.

Completely disappeared from her life, without a trace.

She once went to Himeya Jun's former home, but found it already covered with dust.

now.

I heard news about Himeya Jun again from Mr. Negoro.

She finally caught the clue again.

"Please tell me, how is Himeya-kun now?" Sakuta Megumi asked with concern.

Face this problem.

Negoro Jinzo could only shake his head.

"Now I... don't know either."

"I don't remember meeting Himeya at all."

"Those damn guys even erased this memory!"

Negoro Jinzo's eyes were full of anger.

Hear him say that.

Sakuta Megumi's eyes, which had been shining, dimmed again.

The clue...is broken again.

"Shinjuku?... Looks like I have to go there." Negoro Jinzou put his phone away and decided to recover his missing memories and uncover the truth behind it all.

“Well, excuse me then.” He nodded to Sakuta Megumi.

It seemed that Gengo Jinzo was about to set off and had already walked some distance.

"Wait, Mr. Negra!" Sakuda Ke suddenly shouted.

Negoro Jinzo stopped.

Look at Sakuta Megumi.

"I'll go with you. I want to see Himeya-kun again." Sakuta Megumi said firmly.

"No!" Negoro Jinzo refused sternly.

"This is a very dangerous matter, and Himeya probably doesn't want you to get involved in this."

"Then why do you still want to go?" Sakuta Megumi asked back.

"because......"

Negoro Jinzo clenched his fists and said angrily.

"They hid the truth about all this."

"And it took away other people's memories."

"A person's memory is erased. Do you know what this means?"

"This means that there is no evidence left that a person has ever experienced life!"

"Is the person whose memory was erased still the same person!?"

"No one has the right to take away another person's life!"

"I can't forgive those guys!"

Done.

Negoro Jinzo ran to the side of the road.

Prepare to take a taxi to Shinjuku.
