The man in the suit quickly created a group, and several people added friends one after another and joined the group chat.
People came in one after another.
Xia Chi entered the group in the middle and pulled Baili Xin in as well.
After joining the group chat, Baby Face quickly turned around and left, muttering to himself as he walked away: "Buying broccoli, potatoes, and beef, and also high-end red wine? That's a lot of orders, what family, and high-end red wine, really."
After watching the baby-faced man hail a taxi and leave, the man in the suit introduced himself: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Xun. I'm currently on the 530th floor. I'm a product salesman."
Everyone looked at the man in the suit. The suit was quite suitable for his profession.
A young man with spiky hair raised his arm and said, "My name is Song Dahai, and I'm a courier."
There is no need for much guidance, and players all introduce their own professions.
Xia Chi and Baili Xin were no exception and participated in the discussion.
The first one to be introduced is Baili Xin.
The man in the suit looked slightly surprised when he heard Baili Xin's name. "Are you Baili Xin? The Baili Xin who is called the God Xin?"
Xia Chi: "Do you know my brother?"
The man in the suit tilted his head and looked at Xia Chi: "Brother? Then you must be Xia Chi."
Baili Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xia Chi was a little wary: "You seem to be very familiar with us."
Man in suit: "I haven't watched your live broadcast, but I have heard of your name."
"Yesterday you dominated the landmark forum and broke two 250-level records. It's hard not to notice it, right?"
Xia Chi gradually let down his guard: "That's true."
The man in the suit hesitated for two seconds, his eyes fell on Baili Xin's face: "Since you are the God Xin, how about you host it?"
Baili Xin smiled politely and said, "No, I'm not used to doing this. You should do it."
"Well then," the man in the suit said without much politeness, continuing at the same pace as before, "The system gave us very little background information and clues this time. The only thing we know is that the cat took out the eyeball."
"But according to my experience, the clues should be related to our profession."
"When we complete the system task, there may be certain clues in it. The clues we get individually should be fragmented, so we all need to collect the clues and analyze them together."
The burr-faced young man: "That's why you want to create a group. I think your idea is correct. I am a courier by profession. I might have accidentally delivered something to the suspect or victim when I was delivering the package. This may be the clue I need to dig out."
"Yes, that's what I mean." The man in the suit showed a satisfied smile on his face. "Like me, maybe I have also sold something to relevant people before."
"So when we complete our professional tasks, we need to record the places we have been to. There may be some overlaps."
Burr suddenly realized: "Oh, that's it. Intersecting clues and accurately locating, what a good idea."
"I have a question," Baili Xin said in a calm voice. As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent and looked at him with eager eyes. "Can we go to the place where the cat bit its eye first?"
Everyone: “…”
That's a good idea.
Twenty minutes later, following the system's guidance, everyone arrived at a stinky ditch.
At this time, a pitch-black cat was crouching on the ground, apparently gnawing on something.
The cat was pure black, with only its eyes glowing strangely in the darkness.
Its outline almost completely blended into the surrounding darkness.
If it weren't for the red neon light shining down from above, giving the stinky ditch a faint glow, and if it weren't for the pair of eyes glowing in the dark, people wouldn't even be able to find where the cat was.
Mao Ci picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the black cat. The black cat, who was eating seriously, was immediately startled and jumped up from the ground in an instant. He didn't even bother to pick up the food on the ground and ran away.
When the black cat ran away, Mao Ci snorted and clapped his hands, then walked straight to where the black cat was just now.
He was the first to arrive. As soon as he got there, he squatted down and called to the people behind him: "Oh my god, come and take a look. If we come a little later, the clue of the eyeball will be lost."
When everyone heard the burr's sound, they quickly came to his side.
Under the moonlight and neon lights, everyone could see the objects on the ground clearly without much effort.
It was an eyeball that had been bitten until only half was left. The originally round eyeball had become an uneven hemisphere.
Dense red blood vessels and black pupils can still be seen on the remaining surface of the eyeball.
"The pupils are black, that's a clue."
The man in the suit bent over and analyzed carefully.
"There are also red bloodshot eyes everywhere, which means the victim was in a state of high tension before his death. Either he hadn't slept for several days, or he was using his eyes too much."
Baili Xin added: "It may also be an eye disease."
The man in the suit nodded: "Yes, there is also the possibility of eye disease. These are all the clues I can see. Have you found anything else?"
He said, his eyes sweeping over the crowd.
The others all shook their heads.
"I actually found something," a rather unclear voice sounded. Everyone looked over and saw Xia Chi pointing at the eyeball hesitantly, "Don't you think this eyeball is very big?"
Everyone: “…”
The man in the suit licked the corner of his dry mouth and said, "Well, this is also a clue. Does it mean that this person has big eyes?"
"The average adult's eyeball is usually about 24mm," Baili Xin explained silently, "but this eyeball looks to be 27mm in diameter, which is indeed a bit too big."
Burr was a little confused: "What does this mean?"
Baili Xin: "This means that the victim may not have just died. The eyeball looks like it has become like this after being soaked."
Man in suit: "Okay, let me summarize it."
"First, and most obviously, the pupil color is black."
"Second, the time of death was before today."
"Third, the deceased may have suffered from eye disease or overused his eyes."
He paused, "Could it be a perverted murderer?"
"If he is sick, will there be any medical records left in the hospital?" Xia Chi pondered.
After he finished speaking, he searched the crowd and soon fixed his eyes on a female player with twin ponytails: "Miss, I remember your occupation seems to be a hospital nurse?"
The girl with twin ponytails was slightly stunned, then blushed and nodded: "Yes, yes, that's right."
Man in suit: "If you have a chance, you can check the ophthalmology department's admission list to see if there are any suspicious records."
Twin Ponytails: "Okay, okay, I'll try my best."
She said with a somewhat conflicted look, "Well, I have to leave too. My professional task bar shows that I have to work the night shift tonight, starting at 8pm. It's already 7:20pm, and I'm ready to leave."
Xia Chi: "Then little sister, please drive slowly on the road and be careful."
The girl with twin ponytails blushed again, turned her head quickly, and trotted away.
The floral skirt she was wearing fluttered from side to side as her body swayed, like a butterfly dancing among flowers.
After watching the twin-tailed girl disappear from sight, only seven of the ten players were left.
Ding! The task is released below.
The sound of a system prompt suddenly rang in Baili Xin's mind.
Please enter Room 802, Unit 2, Building 16, Jinhai Luxury Apartment before 8:00 PM and sleep in the room until 8:00 AM tomorrow morning.
Your working time this time is 12 hours. You can do anything in this room. The only thing you cannot do is leave the room.
If you are caught leaving the room, the client will question your professionalism, which could affect your career and even put you at risk of losing your job.
Congratulations to the player for obtaining the mission items Access Card x1 and Room Key x1.
After the introduction of the system, an access card and a key appeared in his backpack.
Then a translucent 3D map appeared in his mind. A three-dimensional green triangle icon marked his mission location, and even thoughtfully planned the route and gave an estimated arrival time.
The estimated time of arrival is seven forty.
Baili Xin stood up from the ground and said, "I am ready to go too. I just received a mission."
Xia Chi: "Brother, I'm with you. I also received a mission."
Burr also stood up: "Me too, just about to say goodbye to you."
The players stood up one after another. Seeing this, Baili Xin asked, "Is your mission time at eight o'clock?"
Everyone nodded.
At eight o'clock, everyone starts their first day of work. Is it a coincidence
After everyone said goodbye and left one by one, Baili Xin and Xia Chi left in the same direction.
Baili Xin: "The community where I just tested the sleeper is Jinhai Luxury Apartments, what about you?"
Xia Chi: "What a coincidence, me too."
"I'm on night shift. This community seems to be where the rich live. Not only are there patrols inside the community, but there are also patrols in the corridors. I'm responsible for patrolling the community today, from 8pm to 2am. I can rest after 2am."
Jinhai Luxury Apartments is the first high-rise building area they see after entering the game.
This community is a mixed residential area with a separate villa area at the front, which is the best location in the community.
Behind the villa area are six-story elevator houses, eleven- and seventeen-story low-rise buildings, and at the very end are high-rise buildings with more than thirty floors.
Xia Chi accompanied Baili Xin and quickly found Building 16 in the mission. Standing at the bottom of the building, Xia Chi looked up and said, "Brother, I won't go up with you. I still have to report to the security department."
Baili Xin: "Okay, let's talk privately if there's anything."
After separating from Xia Chi, Baili Xin used the access card to open the corridor's password door. He quickly found the elevator, which was on the underground first floor.
When the elevator slowly rose from the underground parking lot, there was already a person standing inside.
The man was fully covered, wearing large thick sunglasses, a black hood, a black windbreaker, and a black eye mask.
Baili Xin glanced at the man nonchalantly, turned around and tried to press the elevator button, only to find that the floor he wanted to go to was already lit.
There were only two of them in the elevator, and it was obvious that the mysterious man in dark was also going to the 8th floor.
