"Call headquarters, call headquarters!"
Following the call from the bottom of the mountain, everyone's attention unconsciously turned to each other, and the picture on the TV also cut to the exterior scene.
"Did you find anything?" the host asked quickly.
"We found a tire on the riverbank, a black tire!" Yamashita ran towards the bridge with a microphone in hand. "Could this be the big black ring that Xiangshanjun mentioned?"
"Please look around to see if you find anything!"
After Xiangshan shouted, Shanxia responded and began to search among the piled tires.
While the other party was searching, Xiangshan closed his eyes and looked up again, as if sensing something again, "Something... I saw some kind of cloth-like object..."
Xiangshan opened his mouth, his eyes seeming to truly see through time and space. "It's green cloth! Floating in the wind..."
"Is it a scarf?"
The host's question was interrupted by someone at the foot of the mountain outside before he got an answer. With the other party's shouting, everyone saw that the other party had pulled out a green scarf from a tire on the river bank.
The green scarf fluttered in the strong wind in the hands at the foot of the mountain.
“Wow…”
Seeing that the prediction was successful again, the audience couldn't help but burst into an uproar, and even the host on the side couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"Exactly where was it found?" the host asked quickly after recovering from his shock. "Does it look like it's been there for a long time?"
"It's right under the tire." Yamashita looked at the scarf and said, "It looks like it's been there for a long time. It's very dirty."
"Thank you for your hard work, Yamashita-kun!"
The host thanked him, rubbed his arms with both hands and sighed, "Ah... but I didn't expect it to be so accurate. It makes my hair stand on end..."
"Then I'll search the area carefully!"
Yamashita responded and resumed the search, while a young woman in uniform walked to the center of the stage holding a board.
"Everyone, please look at the image board," the host said, pointing to a simulated image of a person on the board. "This is how Ms. S was dressed when she disappeared. This is the portrait we've compiled based on the police's assistance."
Above the simple portrait, the faceless woman is wearing a short skirt and suit, which are obvious work clothes, and a green scarf is tied around her neck.
"Everyone, the color of this scarf is the same as the one that Sanxia-kun just found."
The host said excitedly, "So I think it's perfectly fine to identify the scarf we just found as the one Miss S was wearing."
At this point, the host looked at Okabe Rintaro who was sitting next to him and said respectfully, "Dr. Okabe, what do you think?"
“.......”
Okabe Rintarou remained silent and did not answer the host's question. Seeing this, the host looked at Xiangshan next to him again and asked, "Excuse me, why did the scarf fall there?"
"Well...if I hadn't touched the scarf myself, I wouldn't have known."
Xiangshan's head was shaking constantly, his voice was intermittent, and his facial expression looked even a little ferocious. "It's just... What I can be sure of is that something bad... something terrible happened there..."
He covered his head with his hands, sweat dripping down his forehead. "If I close my eyes, I can hear... the man's panting... the woman's screams... and the sound of something being torn apart..."
Seeing that Xiangshan's reaction was getting more and more intense, the host on the side hurriedly comforted him and told him not to use his superpowers anymore. Only after he slowly calmed down did he stand up from his side and walk towards the camera.
"I really didn't expect that such an emergency would happen during our live broadcast."
The host sighed and then looked at Okabe Rintaro, "Doctor, what do you think? I think this is undoubtedly a supernatural power. The power of science cannot explain it..."
"Ha!? Superpowers!? Stop making people laugh!"
Okabe Rintaro stretched out his five fingers to comb his hair backwards, his face becoming even more furious. "Let me be frank! This is a complete scam!"
The host was startled when he heard this, and then asked, "Could you please explain the situation in detail?"
Okabe Rintarou stood up from his chair, walked over to Xiangshan and said with a crazy smile, "You chose the wrong career. Become an actor. As far as acting is concerned, your performance is also remarkable in the entertainment industry!"
As he spoke, Okabe Rintaro clapped his hands, as if to encourage his acting skills.
"Dr. Okabe?" The host looked at Okabe Rintaro's actions with a puzzled look on his face.
"Mr. Superpower, I told you before that I would let you read my inner thoughts. I gave you one last chance, but it seems you didn't take it."
Okabe Rintaro said this with a cold smile, "There's something I'm afraid you don't know. My assistant has many friends in the Criminal Investigation Department, so when she knew I was going to expose you as a liar, she asked someone to help me set up a trap."
Okabe Rintaro took a graphic board from Makise Kurisu who was walking over and placed it in front of the camera lens, "Ms. S who is now missing was wearing a black sportswear when she disappeared!
And starting tomorrow, public media releases and missing person notices posted across the country will look like this!
In other words, the information the TV station had previously obtained was completely false!
Because I was concerned that the TV station might be in cahoots with this "superpower" man, my assistant asked me not to tell the TV station staff about this. I sincerely apologize for this."
Okabe Rintaro walked up to Soyama with a diagram board in hand and asked, "Shoyama-kun, how do you explain this?
Why is the information you predict with your superpower just as fake as the information on TV?
And I have been silently reading the real information before. If you really have super powers, you can surely seize this opportunity, right?
But! Why did you predict the green scarf?! That was my handiwork!
What kind of scene can you perceive from that scarf? You can't feel anything, after all, you placed it there in advance after receiving the news.
When you met us earlier, you saw the diagram we showed you, and then you memorized the green scarf that was easiest to get, and then you bought the same green scarf and hid it under the tire.
Okabe Rintaro placed the diagram board in front of Soyama, "Come on! Explain! Soyama-kun! Where are your super powers!"
Watching Okabe Rintaro's abdication on TV, Karasawa, a spectator who had not appeared in several chapters, was having a great time.
What he didn't expect was that the situation would completely reverse a few minutes later!
