The two children lay down on the ground full of broken bricks and rocks, and crawled forward cautiously, reaching the place where the wax figure gentleman disappeared just now.Shimada and Kinoshita, one on the left and one on the right, leaned against the wall, poked their heads slightly, and peeked at the situation inside through the gaps in the bricks.I saw the wax figure gentleman standing with his legs crossed by the wall about ten meters away, facing the door.Oddly enough, he had already taken off his coat and jacket, and was now taking off his white shirt.The buttons of the shirt were undone one by one, and finally, the bottom button was also undone. In the blink of an eye, the white shirt suddenly floated in the air, and then fell to the ground...

God! The two teenagers were astonished to the extreme.Did they scream?No.They had froze with fright, and dared not breathe—this gentleman was a monster.No, even scarier than monsters. Did something scary appear in the shirt that was taken off?As long as there is something real, no matter how scary it is, it won't be so surprising--however, there is nothing inside the shirt, it is empty! The masked face of the monster was still there, and the hat was still there.The neck, chest, shoulders, and hands below the face are all invisible.The waist is down, and the two legs in the trousers are still stuck there.That is to say, there is nothing between the monster's face and the trousers—no, the brick wall behind "him" can be seen.If "he" had an upper body, the brick wall would be hidden and invisible.

The two children felt that they were probably crazy, and suspected that this was a dream.Unexpectedly, more terrible things are yet to come. First the hat.The fedora hat whized off his head, as if picked up by an invisible hand and dropped to the ground.Then came the mask.The two legs were still standing there, but the mask suddenly flew up about 70 centimeters, swayed left and right for a while, and suddenly fell to the ground as if being thrown by someone.In doing so, the monster's upper body completely disappears. "He" doesn't seem to want to stop there.Invisible hands began to untie his pants.The belt was undone, and then the buttons on the trousers were undone one by one, and the trousers retreated to the heels, forming a crumpled ball—as expected, the trousers were also empty.

Afterwards, the two shoes were separated from the trouser legs, and the invisible feet wore the shoes, and they started to move "click, click", suddenly soaring into the air, and began an inexplicable dance.The two shoes were flying in the air, and after a while of fuss, they stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement after they hit the ground.The socks were also crumpled into two small balls and thrown on the ground. —The monster even took off its socks.From head to toe, nothing on the body, naked. Since then, "he" has completely disappeared, just like air, invisible and intangible.

Next, something even more incredible happened.The masks, hats, jackets, trousers, shirts, shoes and socks, bamboo crutches, etc. scattered all over the ground moved by themselves and gathered in one place, and the jacket wrapped them all up.The package of the jacket soared into the air, drifted to the right along the wall to a small hole in the corner, and was about to disappear... At this moment, there was a scream from outside the hole in the wall, followed by the loud noise of objects colliding, and it returned to dead silence after a while.I saw a human leg in trousers stepping out from the hole in the wall, and a man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in front of him.The children were startled, thinking that the wax gentleman had put on his clothes again, and he would shoot back.However, the person who came was not a wax man, but a newspaper reporter who followed them just now.

"Hey, let him run away. This guy has a lot of strength... But I finally saw it with my own eyes. He will definitely not escape next time." The reporter said to himself, then turned around, and called out loudly to the person hiding behind the wall. Children: "You two, come out, it's okay, that guy got away." Shimada and Kinoshita were so frightened that their bodies were as stiff as stones, and they couldn't even make a sound. "Hahaha...Look at you two, you're so scared. That guy won't come, come out bravely. I'm not a monster, I'm an ordinary person, I won't eat you. Hahaha..."

The reporter's hearty laughter injected vitality into the two frightened children.They patted the dirt on their bodies, Hexiu stood up, and tremblingly walked to the reporter. "Have you two followed him? You're not small. In fact, I've been following you two. Just now I am lying in ambush by the hole in the wall, trying to catch him, but the guy disappeared without a trace. slipped away." As the reporter spoke, he burst out laughing again, looking at that heroic figure, he looked like a hero who slayed demons in ancient times. "Uncle, what exactly is that?" Kinoshita-kun's face was ashen, his eyes rounded, obviously still in shock.

"Well... Uncle didn't understand it either. It's a monster anyway. Now, it's making the whole of Tokyo restless." "Makes the whole of Tokyo restless?!" "You probably don't know yet. This guy is making trouble everywhere. Not only does he like to make trouble, but he is still a gangster." The reporter opened the chatter box. What did he say? What is the origin of this monster that comes and goes without a trace?Is it a human, or some unknown animal?Could it be an alien? !Everything is a mystery.
