Eureka walks into the library. It's empty
The door opens automatically and a mechanical voice says, "Welcome!"
It's 2050, the 30th full year since the onset of bubble syndrome.

Eureka looks at herself in the mirror, she is a little haggard.
As she walks out of the washroom, the mechanical voice appears again: Always make sure the bracelet is with you, please report any sightings of other bracelets immediately
[[Back to the library->Notebook]]<p><strong>Bubble syndrome</strong></p>
Bubble syndrome, refers to a phenomenon in which humans disappear for no apparent reason. Named for the small amount of air bubbles that are produced when a person disappears.
Modern society views it as a disease without precursors. At onset, the patient disappears rapidly within 3 to 5 seconds, leaving no human tissue behind. Other objects in contact with the patient are unaffected.
Infectiousness, unknown. Modern medicine has classified it as a terminal disease.
The first cases date back as early as 2020.

In order to address bubble syndrome, by 2035, all of the world made addressing bubble syndrome become the priority goal.The countries formed a coalition government called “Community of common destiny” and it implemented the following plans:
*Phasing out the country concept and bring the rest of human together
*Most of the daily work is done by machines and robots.
*95% of humans work in jobs related to bubble syndrome, including scientific research, mechanical development, emergency treatment.
*The coalition government issued bracelets to count the number of bubble syndrome cases.

<p><strong>Doctor Hima</strong></p>
Doctor Hima, Bubble Syndrome expert, research scholar, disappeared on October 3,2050 due to bubble syndrome.
Found important research documents missing while sorting through her belongings.
"Eureka is hereby appointed as a special investigative team to investigate Dr. Hima's missing documents. The location of Dr. Hima's last appearance is attached."
[[Check other notes->Notebook]]
(set: $finishedRouteD to true)"This kind of investigation again." said Eureka "These investigations have never had valid results, the so-called important documents are often just a piece of waste paper"
[[Check additioal documents]]
[["Why should I waste time on these jobs?"]]The last three places Doctor Hima visited.
[[Cemetery]]
[[School]]
[[Laboratory]]
Eureka think she will check all three places. Which one should she visit first?It has been 30 years, no one has ever made any progress on bubble syndrome.
I don't see any hope.
[[Life goes on, at least I will try this time->Check additioal documents]]
[[I give up, I quit.->End A]]<p><strong>Ending: Doomsday Carnival</strong></p>
This world sucks. We have lost enough.
Sooner or later I will be disappear anyway.
I should do what I want to do.
Maybe if we live like 30 years ago, the bubble syndrome will disappear.
Eureka get up and leave the library.
<p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ebMdBxS.jpg" alt="ebMdBxS.jpg" /></p>Eureka arrives at the cemetery. In fact, it is more like a memorial park.
Due to bubble syndrome, most of the tombstone is just decoration, and nothing is buried underneath.
Doctor Hima visited the following tombstones.
[[A1,X1,Y1]]
[[CE276,X658,Y19]]
[[VF892,X51,Y880]]
<p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/CEtNPHF.jpg" alt="CEtNPHF.jpg" /></p>Eureka followes the record of the bracelet to an office door.
"Please come in", said the woman.
Eureka opened the door and inside was an old lady.
"Hello, young man, what can I do for you?"
[[I'm here for Doctor Hima.]]Eureka arrives at Doctor Hima's personal laboratory.
The door opens easily with the bracelet.
[[Go 1F]]
[[Go 2F]]A1,X1,Y1 (set: $finishedTombA to true)
The tombstone of the first bubble syndrome patient who cannot be verified.
Eureka stopped quietly in front of the tomb, as if seeing the Doctor Hima had done so.
A white lily was placed in front of the tomb.
Nothing special has been found.

It is a tombstone of a scholar who died naturally.
The epitaph says:"I am very grateful to be born in this era, I believe people will reach the other shore one day, the shore of bright future"
A white lily was placed in front of the tomb.

This is a relatively new tombstone, according to the numbering.
A white lily was placed in front of the tomb.
A piece of note is behind the lily. On the front there are some research manuscripts
On the back it says:"I will see you soon, my lover. Dr.H"
This must be one of the missing page, said Eureka.

Strange, 16:50 is the exact time of onset of her bubble syndrome, said Eureka. Or maybe it's a coincidence.

(if: $finishedC and $finishedL and $finishedS)[[Carefully observe the collected documents]]"Oh, Doctor Hima." said the lady, "You must have come for the letter she left, here you are."
The lady gives Eureka a letter, beautifully packaged, unopened.
"She said that if after a few days no one came to fetch it, just throw the letter away." The old woman laughed, "Is Doctor Hima okay? At least she was very energetic when she came last time."
[[Yes, she is as good as ever]]
[[I'm sorry, the bubble syndrome.....]]
<p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/tuBWj02.png" alt="tuBWj02.png" /></p>"That's good" the old woman said slowly,"Bon Voyage! Young man."

EUREKA looked at the inside of the envelope again, and it turned out to be made from a discarded manuscript.
Alright, what's next?
[[Cemetery]]
[[Laboratory]]
(if: $finishedC and $finishedL and $finishedS)[[Carefully observe the collected documents]]On the back of the letter, the calendar, the notes. The abandoned manuscripts are spliced into a complete paragraph.
"I seem to have discovered a way to turn people into bubbles, just go through that "DOOR".
At the other side of the door are people with bubble syndrome. They have not disappeared. That side is the normal world.
If I find a way to the opposite, then I will definitely find a way back. The premise is that I have to go through the door.
I don't know what will happen to the machine after I leave, so it should be closed right now. The code is 6YU7s8Ta to let it run again."
[[Go back to the laboratory]]
<p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/TRXgHUs.jpg" alt="TRXgHUs.jpg" /></p>Eureka typied in the code, the machine starts operation, emit a deep light
What should I do?
[[Walk into the door->End B]]
[[Leave and report your work->End C]]
<p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/JhA8PYZ.png" alt="JhA8PYZ.png" /></p><p><strong>Ending: Step into the unknown</strong></p>
If someone can save the world, it could be Doctor Hima, so why not me?
I don't want to just disappear silently.
Let me see the brand new world.
Eureka leaps forward into the door, she turns into bubbles.
<p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/X0LsNqA.jpg" alt="X0LsNqA.jpg" /></p><p><strong>Ending: Cherish the moment</strong></p>
At least in this world, I can still feel the warmth of people.
We will definitely find a way to continue our hope.
After the report, soon large number of people crowded around the doctor's lab.
Everyone is convinced that this time there will be a breakthrough in the study of bubble syndrome
