Chapter 318 Petrification
"how can that be!"

Seeing this, the face of the staff covered by the mask showed a surprised expression.

According to the information they got, these 'earth-bound' who were in place had not eaten since the beginning of the bondage. Under normal circumstances, such a long-term hunger strike would not be able to last for too long with the physical condition of ordinary people. Even if he could persevere, his physical strength was already too weak at this moment. It was impossible for him to be like the 'Earth Binder' in front of him. He not only continued to stand in the same weird posture, but also remained motionless under the movement of the health bureau staff.

"Quick, look at his feet, they are turning to stone!"

Facing the motionless 'Earth Binder' in front of them, the staff was a bit difficult to deal with.

But then, someone discovered the abnormality on the 'Earth Binder', and he pointed to the feet of the 'Earth Binder' with a shocked expression on his face.

Following the shouts of the staff, the local TV station not far away responded immediately.

The cameraman moves the camera to focus on the legs of the 'Earthbinder'.

In the camera, the original position of the legs of the 'Earth Binder' has become like a stone, and the soles of its feet are connected to the ground and cannot move.

The footage captured by the Kyoto TV station soon appeared on the TV channels in the Kyoto area that day through radio waves.

And through the spread of the Internet, the news of the petrification of the "Earth Binder" gradually spread to the entire territory of Japan.

The change of 'Earth Binder' has given the originally strange rumors a tinge of horror.

Many people who didn't pay much attention to the rumors of the 'Earth Binder' began to become uneasy, and the rumors of the 'Earth Binder' infection in Japan became more widespread.

Everything is going in a bad direction.

……

"...This may be a special disease. In fact, in the current history of human disease development, this type of disease is not absent. Currently, there is a kind of osteopetrosis known in medicine, also known as Marble bone disease is a rare disease in which the bones of patients become fragile and appear grayish-white like stones... and these 'earthbound people' who appeared in Tokyo are likely to be infected with some kind of disease that gradually petrifies the body. A rare disease, because of this reason, they gradually lost control of their bodies, unable to move..."

On the TV show, experts are talking about speculation about the changes in the 'Earth Binder'.

Use professional terms as much as possible to convince the audience in front of the TV that what happened to the 'Earth Binder' is just the result of a rare disease.

"Of course it can't be as simple as a disease."

In the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, Sakai casually closed the program in front of him, with a mocking smile on his face.

Sakai is no stranger to these operations in front of him.

In fact, when he was dealing with Keiko and the red thread group in the time capsule, he used the help of news programs and the media to suppress the heat of the incident.

And right now, these experts who appear in major news programs and give special lectures are also indispensable for the official figure behind them.

With the help of the government and the great publicity of the media, the enthusiasm about the 'Earth Binder' soon gradually dropped.

However, although the discussion on the 'Earth Binder' on the Internet has been decreasing, Kyoto, the source of all incidents, has fallen into a huge panic as more and more 'Earth Binders' appear these days .

In just one week since the first 'Earth Binder' was discovered, the number of 'Earth Binders' has exceeded a hundred, and their bound positions have spread from Horikawa to the outside world. , in the vicinity of Kyoto began to appear a few sporadic 'Earth Binder' figures.

In order to appease the panic-stricken people in Kyoto Prefecture, the Governor of Kyoto Prefecture immediately dispatched the staff of the Health Bureau to deal with it, but the results had little effect.

Just like the video taken by the Metropolitan Police Department before, these 'ground-bound people' who were forcibly taken away will go back uncontrollably after leaving the place of bondage for a period of time, and any obstruction will even tie them to the bed None of the practices can prevent the result of returning to the original place.

Therefore, after several consecutive attempts, even the Kyoto Prefecture had to give up the treatment of these 'earth-bound people'.

With the abandonment of the local government, the vast majority of people who had hoped for the 'Earth Binders' began to feel desperate. Most of them are the families of these 'Earth Binders'. After a series of blows, There are quite a few 'Earth Binder' family members who have given up their relatives who have become 'Earth Binders', and only a few still insist on hoping that they can recover.

It's not just bad.

According to the information obtained from Sakai, since the TV station captured the images of the petrification of the "Earth Binders", the earliest batch of "Earth Binders" who appeared in Horikawa also showed different petrification phenomena, and their bodies began to move towards The stone changes, these 'earthbound' are obviously able to perceive their own changes, but they can't do anything about it, they can only let it happen.

Stretching out his hand and rubbing his aching head, Sakai looked down at the photo in his hand.

The figure in the photo is the first "Earth Binder" he came into contact with who was trapped at the intersection. Without any accidents, his body also appeared petrified. From his legs to his arms, everything has turned into stone, and This kind of petrification is spreading towards his chest. According to the speculation, it will not take too long for the whole body of 'Earth Binder' to be completely turned into stone.

And after turning into stone, what will happen to the 'Earth Binder'.

Sakai speculated that perhaps his final outcome would be to lose his life motionless as he is now.

"What is the reason for the formation of 'Earth Binder'?"

This is a problem that has plagued Sakai since the appearance of the 'Earth Binder'.

For this reason, he went to the location of the 'Earth Binder' more than once to ask the reason of the parties and their families.

However, no matter how Sakai asks, these 'earth-bound people' are unwilling to disclose the reason behind it. From the expressions on their faces, it can be clearly seen that they have expected the reason for their appearance there, but they are unwilling to disclose the slightest , willing to be trapped in place like this and gradually petrify.

"Sakai Police Officer, I found the pattern in these 'Earth Binders'!"

In the temporary office of the Metropolitan Police Department, Sakai looked at the photo of the 'Earth Binder' in front of him, thinking hard.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the office, and then I saw Yamamoto push open the office door, and said excitedly to Sakai.
