July 21, night.
A man and a woman stood on the roof of Shi'an Building. The woman is wearing a sophisticated gliding device, while the man is sitting in front of hastily piled equipment, concentrating on controlling the drone.
"Hey, are you okay yet?" the young woman said to the one-sided earphone, "It's been almost a day."
The rear science post and the field science post teamed up and used two types of drones to cover the sea valley. As a result, at the end of the day, there was no clue at all. As a non-scientific combatant, she drank most of the wind on the rooftop.
"No means no, I can't change the data!" A young boy's voice came from the earphones, "Sister Linlin, if you talk like this again, I will sue you for child labor."
Bao Linlin sneered twice: "You sue."
"...Brother Wang, tell me about her!"
"Don't make trouble, I'm busy." The man didn't even raise his head.
Class B investigation team, special investigation team seven. The three people, the core field partner and the rear commander, have been working continuously for 20 hours.
The evil spirits around the two children were 1.18~1.51fR, which was extremely polluted. Ge Tingting's condition is slightly better. The boy has definitely been exposed to super pollution sources.
She glanced at the buildings on the drone screen and took out two charms from her waist. The cinnabar soft pen strokes moved quickly, and after five or six seconds, she skillfully burned the talisman paper.
"Huh? I can't see it, it should be fine..."
Over Haigu City, three hundred standard drones and more than a thousand specially-made drones the size of flies were flying. One of the two scientific staff scanned for evil spirits, and the other looked at the monitoring data. They almost touched every corner of Haigu City.
Brother Wang looked helplessly at Xizhao District: "When did I successfully stop her?"
An hour later, Haigu People's Hospital.
The physiological indicators on the screen suddenly flashed.
"No!" the young man yelled, "You should act together with Brother Wang!"
"...fuck, I'm leaving now."
On a rainy night half a month ago, fugitive Guo Laifu went crazy in the street. At that time, his evil aura was clearly exposed and could be scanned from eight hundred miles away.
Brother Wang glanced at the path of the thing, and then at the edge of the building behind him.
"Oh yes, Linlin should have left something behind..."
Xiao Zhao let out a scream.
This time, the evil energy around the two of them was nearly twice as high as that of Guo Laifu, but there was no obvious leakage - something was helping them shield the evil energy.
"Tsk..."
The moment the screen went off, a pair of translucent twisted arms appeared from the screen. The evil spirit alarm screamed crazily, and Brother Wang of the Science Gang squinted his eyes. There was only blurry night in front of him.
On the piles of monitors, the figures of Ge Tingting and a child suddenly appeared. As soon as it enters the detection range, the drone sends back a strong alarm signal.
He fumbled around in his pocket and pulled out a gold paper ingot filled with runes. He shouted at it, "Sister Lin, help me!" The ingot suddenly ignited without any wind and quickly disappeared into the air.
Bao Linlin's short hair moved without any wind, and she soared into the air. The next moment, Bao Linlin fine-tuned the gliding device on her body and flew towards the sunset area like an arrow.
Ge Tingting's body temperature was normal, but his behavior was a little strange. The two of them changed routes on the empty road from time to time, as if there was some kind of transparent obstacle in front of them.
"Brother Wang, don't you know how to stop her?! If Sister Linlin is really injured, none of the three of us can fight! Call her back quickly. Call her back. You should listen to me -"
"Okay!" In the earphones, the young man's voice also became excited.
He controlled the drone to get closer, and sure enough, the boy's physical condition was somewhat abnormal—his body temperature reached 37.8 degrees Celsius, but he was extremely excited, without any signs of malaise. He was walking and jumping as if the deserted streets were some kind of incredible playground.
On the screen, the two children didn't look like they had any foreign aid. They staggered along the street, the girl holding the boy's hand tightly, and the shadows became shorter and longer under each streetlight.
Bao Linlin: "I'm not going to fight, so I'm going to do an investigation... forget it."
He popped a caffeine candy into his mouth and continued to stare at the screen.
The two partners looked at each other.
"Yes!" Brother Wang suddenly jumped up, "Xiao Zhao, the coordinates have been sent to you. Please help me analyze them - move quickly!"
He tried to take a picture of the boy's face.
Brother Wang moved his fingers slightly, and the fly-sized drone quietly changed its position.
However, just when the position was about to be adjusted, the screen flashed with fire and his drone exploded on the spot.
Bao Linlin and Wang Ge, Wang Zhou, were lying on adjacent beds, each with a cast on their legs.
Now only the Xizhao area has not been checked.
A few steps away, the "bracket man" stopped, jumping wildly as if the brace on his body was about to fall apart. Brother Wang covered his head and crawled towards the exit.
"Positioning." Bao Linlin said concisely and to the point.
In her ears, the young man's voice became serious: "No, the index is too high, maybe it is secondary pollution caused by evil spirits! If it is related to evil spirits, your current protection..."
"Fuck, the person who dismembered the body is really a child." Brother Wang scratched his hair, "Isn't this more serious than Guo Laifu's time?"
The Sunset District is the farthest from Shangguang District and is also the largest area. It is connected to the old city center in the north and the former factory site in the suburbs to the south. Coupled with the fact that Ping An Manor is a very evil place, the Sunset Area has attracted a large number of evil creatures, and they run around at night, making the investigation extremely slow.
Just as he was mid-sentence, the metal brackets scattered around him suddenly moved and quickly formed a twisted human shape. The heavy human figure clicked and twitched as it walked towards Brother Wang with a swaying step.
"Give me a position." Bao Linlin repeated.
"Brother Wang, run! It's a disembodied ghost and it's trying to deal with you!"
Wang Zhou: "How did you get in?"
Bao Linlin: "Those two children were watched by ghost masters. I was shot down as soon as I got close. What about you? Didn't I leave you a protective ghost?"
Wang Zhou: "I fell down in a hurry when I went downstairs, haha."
Bao Linlin: “…”
Bao Linlin: “I don’t think we can be promoted to the Class A Investigation Team next year.”
Wang Zhou: "Hey, everyone makes mistakes and horses make mistakes. We have made a new discovery, so let's let the Sixth Group go and take action with the police."
Bao Linlin: "That's okay... Speaking of which, my ghost heard the child's voice."
"oh?"
"He was talking to someone and said that I was a 'Berserker'. He also said that the 'Summoner' had just shot down the summoning insect, and the 'Berserker' and 'Summoner' must be the same group."
Wang Zhou took a hissing breath: "The profession in "Resurrection Legend"? Strange, I just tried that game yesterday, and the profession I chose was obviously the Succubus. What about you, have you played it too?"
"I chose the succubus." Bao Linlin slowly looked away.
"Look, it's completely different from what we chose!"
As auxiliary support, Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng said they also received reports from the seventh special team.
When the report was received, the two men were sitting on the carpet, playing "Resurrection Legend" passionately in front of the big screen.
Although the plot of "Resurrection Legend" is boring, if you can concentrate on playing it for a long time, you can still feel the fun of exploration and upgrading.
Currently, the two are exploring the "Corrupt Swamp Ganggarian". Yin Ren was controlling the character to beat the monsters happily, ignoring the prompts of the internal software. Zhong Cheng said that he immediately put down the controller and stood up to reach for his phone.
Yin Ren was close and handed it to him: "Here."
Zhong Cheng said, looking at him quietly, with a look of confusion in his eyes: "You won't even look at it even if you help me get it?"
"I've been working overtime in pain." The Ghost King replied with a clear understanding. On the screen, the trumpet Yin Ren gave the monster the final blow, "It doesn't make sense to work overtime and be distracted by reading reports."
Zhong Cheng said the confusion in his eyes turned into condemnation. He didn't say anything and just started reading.
The report of the seventh special team was concise and concise. Zhong Cheng said that he quickly summarized four points -
1. The suspected target has been identified, and the person who dismembered the body may really be a child;
2. The suspected target is suspected to have been exposed to evil-related pollutants;
3. Due to the intervention of external forces, a hostile ghost master suspected of following the suspected target has been discovered;
4. The suspected target appears to have cognitive impairment and will identify the person as a professional character in "Resurrection Legend". As of now, the suspected target's "identified occupation" for a specific person has no connection with the "real occupation" selected by the specific person in the game.
Zhong Cheng said looking at the screen. While he was reading the report, Yin Ren started running in circles around his character again.
"Have you made any shocking discoveries?" Yin Ren stuffed a piece of popcorn into his mouth.
"Not yet, you can look at it later."
Yin Ren nodded with satisfaction. He stuffed another handful of popcorn into his mouth and slurred his words: "Brother Zhong, having said that, just leveling up monsters like this is boring."
After checking various strategies, Zhong Cheng said he quickly formulated a clearance plan.
There is a bug monster in Ganggaren in the Corruption Swamp, which can quickly generate a large amount of upgrade experience. Once the map is opened, the two of them can ignore the messy branch lines behind and collect the main line items first—
As long as you collect the rare items in the main line, weapons, equipment and common collectibles will be available for purchase with krypton gold. The side plots are all in the item description and can be read directly.
In order to collect them all as soon as possible, they have been wandering around the Corruption Swamp for three hours.
Yin Ren's vampire prince is about to reach his level, and blood mist surrounds him. The vampire hunter Zhong Cheng mentioned was also covered in holy light and put on a white cloak.
The vampire hunter was so white that it was a bit dazzling. Yin Ren squinted at it for a while, then glanced at Zhong Cheng beside him and said.
From his experience, there is no truly flawless person in this world. Does this person really have no secrets to hide
"... How about we bet on something?" In the game, Yin Ren said to Zhong Cheng that he had thrown an invalid blood curse and exploded into a bloody flower.
The little vampire hunter stood there, even his hair exuding an aura of dignity.
Outside of games, his operators are no less generous - Zhong Cheng said that when playing games, they should also sit upright, with their pajamas and nightcap upright, as if they were attending an official pajamas exhibition.
Yin Ren was lying on the side, very close to Zhong Cheng's legs. He likes to move around when playing games, and his elbow will touch Zhong Chengshuo's waist from time to time. The body under the pajamas is strong and warm, full of vigorous vitality, and feels quite good to the touch.
Moreover, Comrade Xiao Zhong shrinks when he is touched, which is more fun than playing games.
"What are you betting on?" Seeing that Zhong Cheng didn't respond, Yin Ren raised his elbow and deliberately touched the man's waist.
"What are you betting on?" Sure enough, Zhong Cheng said and flinched.
"Bet on whether it will be day or night in the game when you hit the Dragon of Destruction." Yin Ren said, "The winner can order the loser to do something, how about that?"
"Can."
"I bet it's night." Yin Ren put away his hand that secretly inquired, "Then it's day for you."
"OK."
Zhong Cheng said that he was looking straight with his eyes and didn't notice anything. Then there was only a soft clicking sound in the room, as well as an infinite loop of scenes and battle BGM. The ferocious swamp carrion keeps reincarnating between disintegrating and refreshing, emitting an unchanging hoarse roar.
The moment they reached the full level, the main line prompt popped up in front of the two of them.
[Challenge the Destruction Dragon Obscura]
[Amazing adventurer, congratulations on reaching the top of this continent.
According to the investigation, the Destruction Dragon Obscura has come to this world, and the temple teleportation of the Sleeping Mountain has been opened.
Wherever Obscura goes, daylight disappears and curses are everywhere. It is a disaster for all living people in this world, and it is also the only creature that the God of Death is afraid of.
Defeat Obscura and it will grant you a dragon scale. Its scales can confuse the sight of death and bring us the last hope.
※Recommended level: This mission can only be challenged by level 99 characters. Please ensure that the character's equipment and weapons are higher than level 90.
※Recommended attributes: Curse resistance, instant death resistance, poison resistance.]
"I have a question." Zhong Cheng said, "Since the Dragon of Destruction and the God of Death are equally powerful, and the God of Death is the one who took away the prince, why doesn't the protagonist directly attack the God of Death?"
"Don't mess with the plot of this game."
Yin Ren clicked his tongue twice.
"It also said that if we defeat the Dragon of Destruction, it will give us scales. This dragon can't even run away after defeating it. It's quite honest."
"Maybe it has a good temper in terms of setting, but the logic on the protagonist's side—"
"Maybe it's because people cannot escape death, and the God of Death better represents the image of 'invincible'. Dragons are visible and tangible, and easy to attack." Yin Ren said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about this, Brother Zhong. You can't escape the point."
“…”
"'Wherever Obscura goes, day disappears', we are destined to fight it at night, and you lose."
Yin Ren threw down the handle and stretched on the spot, his long hair flowing into a pile on the carpet.
Zhong Cheng said standing up: "What do you want me to do?"
"Well..." Yin Ren rolled half a circle on the floor, looking up at the ceiling, hiding his guilt after cheating, "I want to see your room."
After all, things like "nests" best reflect the character of living creatures.
Zhong Cheng said nothing.
"Just out of curiosity, forget it if it doesn't work. It's not a serious bet anyway."
Zhong Cheng said, extending his hand to Yin Ren on the ground, with no expression on his face: "It doesn't matter, I'm willing to admit defeat."
To be honest, Yin Ren was a little surprised.
He had been living here for some time, and Zhong Cheng said he had always kept the bedroom door tightly closed. This person comes in and out eager to squeeze through the door, and never forgets to close the door. If Yin Ren hadn't noticed something was wrong, he would have thought Zhong Cheng said he had another monster in the bedroom.
Yin Ren once asked Hu Tao in casual chat. The fierce ghost said that Comrade Xiao Zhong was like this when he lived alone. As a reasonable modern ghost, she would never force her way into the bedroom of a stranger of the opposite sex.
There was really no other way, so the Ghost King had no choice but to take action himself.
With a soft creak, Zhong Cheng said he opened the door for the first time.
It was the first time that Yin Ren stepped into this "forbidden land", and I have to say that he was a little disappointed.
The bedroom Zhong Cheng said was warmer than the living room, so normal that it made people laugh.
The double bed in the center of the bedroom is flat and clean, with pillows and quilts already folded. I don’t know if it’s because of the perfume, but they are filled with the good smell of the same style that Zhong Cheng said.
In addition to the same wardrobe as in Yin Ren's room, there is also a coffee table and a small sofa in the corner of the bedroom.
A cream-colored pocket refrigerator is placed next to the coffee table. A magnet with the words "Knowledge is Power" is affixed to the refrigerator door. There are three or four thick books placed on the top of the refrigerator.
In addition to this reading corner, Zhong Cheng said that there is another desk and bookcase in the bedroom.
The bookcase is very standard. The top shelf is filled with trophies and certificates that Zhong Chengshuo has won. Various books and notepads occupy the rest of the space. The computer was placed neatly on the desk, and the screen was as clean as new.
Next to the computer was a family photo, plus five or six cute little animal ornaments. All kinds of small animals face the seats and pose to encourage them.
There was even a tub of half-eaten potato chips on the table. Yin Ren glanced at Zhong Cheng said, then looked at the bucket of "thick cheese" flavored potato chips, and then turned to look at Zhong Cheng said.
Jie, what a terrible secret, he has never tasted this taste!
Zhong Cheng, who has always been self-disciplined, turned his head away and his ears turned a little red. He coughed twice and said, "I occasionally eat something like this."
"Where did you buy it? I want to buy it too."
Except that Zhong Cheng said he liked the taste of cheese, Yin Ren didn't find anything new, so he exited the bedroom without interest.
Yin Ren is suppressing his power. Apart from being sensitive to evil smells, his powers of detection are similar to those of top practitioners. But it was enough. The bedroom Zhong Cheng said was clean in every sense of the word, and there were no suspicious items.
This time Zhong Cheng said that the solemn closing action was a bit different in Yin Ren's eyes.
"It's nothing. My bedroom is always open, so you can look around." Lord Ghost King leaned back in front of the screen.
Zhong Cheng said: "That's because you always sleep in the living room."
"What do you mean by being still? Haven't I been sleeping in the guest room..." Yin Ren suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his sentence.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I suddenly forgot what I wanted to say." Yin Ren grabbed the handle, "Let's continue."
He dealt with it with his mouth and sniffed lightly.
There's that old, sinister smell again.
Compared with the faint smell on the insect corpse, the smell this time was strong and clear, and the source was lingering near him. Yin Ren was extremely certain that the source was indeed an item soaked in a sinister aura.
There is one child carrying items and one weak practitioner... It should be the person who dismembers the body and Ge Tingting. A little further away from them, a much more powerful adult practitioner followed.
The smell of that person was also very familiar. He was undoubtedly the owner of the ghost headhunter a few days ago.
The ghost master followed the two children patiently. He seemed to have no intention of attacking, and just used various spiritual weapons to suppress the evil spirits of the two of them, like a shepherd observing the sheep.
interesting.
"Forget it, Brother Zhong, just wait for me for a few minutes. Just in case, I'd better read the report of Group 7 first." Yin Ren put down the controller reluctantly.
Near Ping An Manor, in an abandoned shop.
"Ibi, we found the hidden mission location. Have you unlocked any new information?"
"No." The young dragon replied lazily, "It's strange that there have been no new instructions for the 'Sinking Wise Man'."
It stopped on the window, its head drooping slightly. The pearly scales lost their luster and became a bit like plastic.
"It's okay. Hiding the NPC will definitely provide less information." He comforted it, "I have never triggered this NPC before playing "Resurrection Legend"."
"Uh-oh."
"Ibi, are you feeling unwell? What's the color of your scales..."
"How could it be! I'm very well, and my scales are also very good. It should be due to insufficient light." The young dragon propped up his body and answered softly.
Feng Qi smiled at it and wiped his nose.
Under the moonlight, his pupils were somewhat deformed, and the back of his hand after wiping his nose was covered with fishy pus and blood.
If any passerby passed by, they would be shocked by the condition of the two children. Feng Qi's skin was hot, his breathing was rapid, and his eyes were covered with abnormal bloodshot eyes. Ge Tingting's face was pale and pale, and even his lips had no trace of blood, as if he were a breathing corpse.
Even the plastic mannequin lying in the corner looked more like a living person than the two of them.
However, the two children looked at each other carefully and seemed not to notice anything strange about each other.
"That's the mansion of black market boss Pepperfur." Feng Qi pointed in the direction of Ping An Manor. "Ibi reminds us that Pepperfur's men are all elite monsters. We must be careful."
Ge Tingting nodded. She looked through the window in the direction Feng Qi pointed.
In front of the overly large moon, a medieval mansion stands on the lawn. Countless stone buildings are soaked in the moonlight, and it even looks like a small town at first glance. Torches were burning brightly, and there were even guards standing guard at the entrance to the courtyard.
In the sky, monsters flew from time to time, and deformed black shadows crossed the giant moon.
The moon was so clear, as if it was right in front of her eyes. She could even see the bumps and bumps on it clearly, Ge Tingting thought dazedly.
Seeing that Ge Tingting was silent, Feng Qi thought she was worried. The boy rubbed his hands together and puffed out his chest.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll do a test first... Ahem!" Feng Qi coughed.
Hearing the sound of coughing, Ge Tingting came back to his senses: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No way! I just choked on my saliva. I'm in very good condition." The boy said excitedly, with pus and blood dripping down his chin. "Upgrading is particularly useful. I've become stronger. This feeling is super obvious. Hey, it's already midnight and I'm not sleepy at all!"
He pressed his hands solemnly to the ground.
"Let me check out the distribution of people there first. Mom often says, know yourself and know your enemy... Ahem!"
Feng Qi "choked on his saliva" again and coughed heartbreakingly.
Next, he didn't force himself to speak anymore, and just silently activated the magic circle.
"...Huh? It's so strange, sister, look at that room."
The magic circle was completed, and Feng Qi pointed to a certain window in the castle. Under the moonlight, the window lit up with warm light.
In reality, that is Room 601 in Building 4. The Ghost King in the room yawned. He sat down on the sofa, a strand of long hair snaking out, and turned off the light in the living room.
In the boy's cloudy eyes, the window was extinguished.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, maybe I made a mistake." Seeing the light disappear suddenly, Feng Qi muttered in a low voice.
"What happened just now?" Ge Ting asked.
"It's nothing. Aren't I trying to identify the number of people and occupations in that place?"
Feng Qi raised his hand and touched the weak young dragon, still with a smile on his face.
"...But that room, it was brightly lit just now, but there was nothing in it."
The author has something to say:
Xiao Zhong was caught on the spot by Xiao Yin while stealing potato chips.
Xiao Zhong: I only eat two slices a day!
Potato Prince VS Potato Hunter, Potato Hunter is temporarily defeated.
