The reporter’s interview was immediately interrupted. He leaned in alongside the host to listen, waiting in the silence for whatever sound might come from downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the sound of a door opening, that thick, raspy voice spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good evening, ma’am. These are our badges. We would appreciate your cooperation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve heard reports of a mysterious disappearance on the beach and are currently looking for eyewitnesses. Could we take a moment of your time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, of course, gentlemen. Please, come in. We’re all truly terrified.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the sound of leather shoes treading on the floor, there was a hurried sound of footsteps coming up the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the study door handle turned, the door pushed open, and the hostess walked in quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Darling, some officers are here. They said it was a ‘mysterious disappearance.’” The hostess went to her husband and embraced him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They would certainly say that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host patted his wife gently, then shrugged at the reporter: “Apologies, I have to go deal with these new guests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. Perhaps I can ask the officers for some additional details as well.” The reporter smiled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he hadn’t expected the authorities to react so quickly. It seemed the earlier commotion had caused quite a significant ripple effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put away his fountain pen and notebook, following the couple toward the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking down the stairs, the reporter heard the cheerful laughter of children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he saw four police officers sitting in the living room, wearing black-based uniforms and white “helmets.” They were young, fit, and sharp-eyed—clearly elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporter felt a twinge of doubt. Reflexively, he looked at their shoulder patches and discovered they all had two V-shapes and a flower, placing them at the rank of Sergeant, above regular patrol officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange, had this incident really blown up that much? The reporter continued to observe, keeping his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers were using candy and small cakes to bribe the children into telling them what they had seen on the beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those stories were identical to what the host had told, with almost no discrepancies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the youngest child suddenly pointed at the reporter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, he’s that big brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden identification made the reporter’s body stiffen; he instinctively prepared to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he suddenly realized that his interview hadn’t violated any rules, he had no contraband on him, and he wasn’t carrying any stolen celebrity photos. He could deal with the authorities openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he took off his duckbill cap and nodded to the officers: “Hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the officers, a man with light gray eyes, stood up with his colleagues and walked toward the three of them. He scrutinized them and said in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to be nervous. We are only here to ask for details regarding the ‘mysterious disappearance.’ We will leave once the questioning is finished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the reporter and the family were invited to talk in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere of the conversation wasn’t exactly serious—at least, that’s how the reporter felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even thought that if all the police in Italy were like these officers—humorous, gentlemanly, and skilled at communication—they would be far better than the ones he usually dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by. As the conversation neared its end, another officer asked the reporter to check all the written content:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...To avoid discrepancies and exaggerations in the content that might lead to unnecessary panic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young reporter gladly cooperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just kidding—how could he create a headline without adding some spice? Of course, he couldn’t say that in front of the officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Alright, thank you all for your cooperation. We hope your vacation won’t be affected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer with the raspy voice stood up first and took out the latest model of camera from his waist pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s where the taxpayers’ money goes... the reporter muttered silently to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the officer opened the lens cap and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, please look at the lens. We need to take a group photo of everyone for the archives. This is the final step.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, okay,” the host nodded, looking at the two children starting to stack blocks in the dining room. “Tommy, Roxanne, come over here. The uncles want to take your picture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporter frowned, wondering when witness statements stopped requiring signatures and started requiring photos instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the family sitting together excitedly, he felt embarrassed to voice his doubts, so he just found a spot to squat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, okay, look at the lens. I’m counting: 3—2—1!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Snap!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud bang, a blinding white light filled the reporter’s consciousness. It stung slightly, and he suddenly felt dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s wrong with me... He shook his head and saw an officer who looked both familiar and strange looking at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your cooperation. We hope this shark attack incident won’t cause any panic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shark attack incident... Ah, yes, the shark attack incident. I was interviewing eyewitnesses... The reporter nodded blankly and took back his notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, gentlemen, ladies, and future gentlemen and ladies, we hope today’s events didn’t scare you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raspy-voiced officer gave a final instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, gentlemen.” The host nodded in acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re welcome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers exited the room one by one. The reporter stood at the door and saw another team of officers leaving across the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before a question could even form in his mind, the host patted his shoulder, said “Now, let’s continue,” and casually closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having left the room, they walked straight along the garden path and got into a police car. The lead officer raised his left hand and pressed a tiny device behind his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squad 18, memory modification complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, the screen went dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a report appeared on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Incident 001-Key-01]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Record Time: 01\u002F29\u002F1993]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Incident Description:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[First observation of a double annihilation event triggered by “Containment-001.” Two tourists were recorded as spontaneously erased in Rome.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It was later confirmed that at the time of the incident, all existing “Containment-001-Key” individuals were under observation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Several hours after the incident made the news, Dr. Moto left the following note in his office:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[“We saw nothing.”]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[“I am very sorry, Administrator.

In the world of short-lived species, this is basically equivalent to political death, but fortunately, the Administrator is immortal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Living a long time is great.
