"You..." Du Yixin suddenly realized, "You must not be underage."
"..."
"Still have a history of mental illness?"
Ying Sheng choked, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of this guy's speech. After a pause, he threatened: "I'll give you one last chance, will I give it or not!"
Hearing this, Du Yixin knew that he had made the right bet. The other party was by no means such an indecisive person, as long as he had the key with him, he would never dare to do it easily, so he stuck his neck and shouted: "A man says one thing is the same, don't give it!"
"Bang bang!"
During the dispute, there was a sudden knock on the door. The two were taken aback, and turned their heads to look at the same time. I saw the door trembling, and the people outside had the aura of not giving up until they reached their goals.
Ying Sheng clicked his tongue, got up from Du Yixin, and went to open the door.
Outside the door, there are two men. One is tall, but with a stooped back and long bangs, and his face cannot be seen clearly with a hood on. The other was dressed in a sharp suit and gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a dog.
The man with glasses walked in first and looked around the room: "What's going on here?"
Ying Sheng leaned against the wall and rolled his eyes: "Don't you know after reading it?"
It seems that the two parties know each other.
Du Yixin sat up from the bed with a dazed face, and saw the man with glasses leaning over, with a concerned tone: "Sorry, I surprised you, are you okay?"
Du Yixin was quite unaccustomed to the other party saying "you" one by one, so he nodded.
"Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Pu. I'm the team leader of the 'White Bird' branch." The man said, took out his business card from his business card holder, and handed it over politely.
Du Yixin glanced at the business card, which had the company name, name and position written on it, but he had no impression of this company and had never heard of it.
"These two are my team members." Team leader Park introduced Ying Sheng who was behind him with a displeased face, and the silent hooded man.
"Wow, this kind of person actually has a job, you are not mistaken."
Ying Sheng was furious: "Hey, what do you mean!"
"Ying Sheng." Team Leader Park frowned to stop him, and then said to Du Yixin, "I'm really sorry, because our organization is rather special, so we tend to recruit people with strong combat effectiveness rather than character."
Ying Sheng was upset: "Tch."
"Although his behavior is relatively rough, we have no malicious intentions. We just hope that you can transfer the 'key' to us. Whether it is money or other requests, we can agree."
Although Team Leader Park looked sincere, Du Yixin was still vigilant when he heard these words. Regardless of the attitude, the goals of this group are the same.
"I don't want money or anything else, let me go."
"Please understand that if this kind of thing falls into the hands of ordinary people, it will cause very serious harm. We read the news that your friend has caused the death of three innocent students. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening, we will collect' key'."
It sounds like you are concerned about the country and the people, but you are not a policeman. What good is doing such a thing
"... What kind of organization are you? How many of these things are there?"
Team leader Park sighed: "I understand, I will explain it clearly to you. I hope you can understand our painstaking efforts after listening to me."
At this time, Ying Sheng snorted untimely. Team leader Park turned to look at him: "Why, did I say something ridiculous?"
Ying Sheng: "It's nothing to do with me, can I go now?"
"No, you have to go back together."
Although the young man had a dissatisfied expression, he did not refuse.
Team leader Park said to Du Yixin: "It's not convenient to talk here, can you come with us?" Although it was in a questioning tone, it could not be refused.
"Where are you going?"
"White Bird Branch."
Walking out of the express hotel, Team Leader Park led him to a black business car: "Please."
Look at the other two. The man in the hood sat in the passenger seat, while Ying Sheng stepped onto the motorcycle, put on his helmet, and started the engine.
Du Yixin: I always feel like I'm in a thief's boat.
He gets in the car. Although I don't trust these guys, I really want to know the truth. Otherwise, with such a mark on his body, he might not be able to escape from birth like this time when he might be pulled into a different space again.
When team leader Park got into the driver's seat, Ying Sheng had already left by bike. Like a shooting star, it flew by quickly.
The vehicle drove out of the city center and onto the highway. Because it is not the peak period, so all the way smooth. Du Yixin looked at the passing vehicles outside the window: "Is it very far?"
"It's in the suburbs. As you know, our organization is rather special, and it's not suitable to be in a conspicuous location." Team Leader Park responded while driving, "But don't worry, we are a formal organization, and we have indeed obtained a business license." He looked at the man sitting behind through the rearview mirror: "Perhaps, you've heard of Club X?"
"Society X? Of course."
This group is the largest private chaebol in the country, bar none. Involved in finance, real estate, retail, and entertainment circles, and is among the top three leaders in each field. It can be described as a household name.
Even Du Yixin, who only knows how to play ball in class every day, hopes that he will be lucky enough to enter this company after graduation. Even if it's only for a short period of time, it can be the brightest stroke on your resume.
"Shiratori is a company under Company X."
"What? This suspicious organization..." Before he finished speaking, he felt that the hooded man seemed to glar at him. It's really strange, obviously the eyes are blocked by the bangs, it must be an illusion.
However, Team Leader Park was not angry, and said with a smile: "You are right, after all, the business is special. Compared with other profitable subsidiaries, we are more like a public welfare organization, and all we do are loss-making businesses."
"..." Is it a loss-making business? The "key" is so powerful that it can kill people without anyone noticing. With this inhuman power, wouldn't money and power be within reach? It's just that at present, there are still many shortcomings of the "key", and there is no way to use it freely.
After getting off the highway, about 20 minutes later, the vehicle drove into a gate. The gate was heavily guarded. After confirming the identity of Team Leader Park, the security guard registered Du Yixin before letting him go.
The ground is paved with asphalt road, and there are green forests on both sides. Team leader Park parked the car in the parking lot: "Then we need to walk."
After walking for about five minutes, a building suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. An access control card is required to enter, but Du Yixin didn't have one, so he registered again.
Then take the elevator to the fifth floor, and the three of them walk into a conference room. Not long after sitting down, the receptionist brought in three cups of coffee and served them to everyone.
"Let's get started." Group leader Park crossed his hands on the table, "If you have any questions, I will tell you if I can answer them."
This prelude is really too long. Du Yixin cut to the chase: "What is the essence of the 'key' and how did it appear?"
"No one knows exactly when it will appear. But once this mark appears on the body, you can gain great power. Open the door to another world and do whatever you want. Therefore, we also call this mark the 'key', and the different The world is called a 'room'."
"Do whatever you want? But my junior doesn't seem to be able to control it."
"This is related to the level of the 'key' itself. The higher the level, the more control you have in the different world. May I ask, what is your level..."
"One." Du Yixin replied, "The Roman numeral one."
"That's it. The first level is the most basic level. According to our agency's investigation, the owner of this level is no different from ordinary people except that he can open the 'room' and not be harmed by the 'room'."
I see! No wonder Aile didn't end the game for so long, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
"You say you're collecting 'keys,' or, in other words, hunting whoever has them?"
Team leader Park's eyes flickered, and he shook his head slightly: "No, this is not our intention. If possible, we hope to trade peacefully, but most of the people who have the keys are vicious, so we have to resort to illegal means."
"But, that person, from the very beginning, killed people everywhere indiscriminately."
"You mean Ying Sheng." Team Leader Park frowned. "In fact, we are also very distressed, and we don't know how to restrain his behavior. But in terms of results, his performance is the best in our branch, so we also There's no way to stop it."
The person who owns the key is mixed among ordinary people. Instead of spending time distinguishing it, it is better to kill all of them from the beginning. It is really the simplest and most efficient way.
Xu Shi saw Du Yixin's dissatisfaction, and Team Leader Park added: "But from another perspective. In most cases, even the owner of the first-level key, once the room is opened, it is difficult for ordinary people to escape."
"So you're saying that even if Ying Sheng doesn't do anything, other people will die. Is that right?"
Team leader Park didn't reply, which was a tacit agreement. Then, Du Yixin confirmed the previous guess about the "key".
He was right, the key is just an ordinary mark in reality, and it can only be snatched by entering the game. That's why Ying Sheng threatened him to open the room.
There is another question: "Does Ying Sheng also have a key?"
Team leader Park nodded hesitantly: "I think you have seen it in the 'room' too. He has the ability to explode. When a key owner enters the room, the key can be transformed into superpowers."
superpower
Inexplicably, Du Yixin remembered his ability of "backtracking in time". Does it mean something like this? However, he was obviously just an ordinary person at the time, how could he possess such power.
Although he was puzzled, it was related to himself. He didn't dare to ask easily, but said: "So, if I enter the game again now, I will also have superpowers?"
"Game?" Team Leader Park chewed on the word and smiled, "It's really interesting, what do you think?"
"Ah, no, because there are a lot of movies and novels with this kind of theme called that..."
"You are right. In that world, there are established rules, and all laws and morals in reality do not work. People will reveal their truest desires. It can be said to be the cruelest and most real 'game' .”
Seeing the other party's peaceful smile, Du Yixin coughed lightly: "I probably understand everything. The last question," his eyes became sharper, "You said, Shiratori started collecting keys to prevent other people from killing innocent people indiscriminately." How can I believe that you don't want to use this power."
