Life-and-death crises can always stimulate a person's potential. After experiencing an endless cycle of nightmares, for the sake of his own life, Zhang Chen worked harder than ever.
It wasn't because it was natural that he was not interested in staring at him every day, all of this came from the system 999's report.
In such a world connected to the whole world by the Internet, System 999 is the omnipotent god in the Internet. Even if Zhang Chen has exchanged his hacking skills, he is not enough to look at System 999. He cannot find System 999 on his computer at all. traces of wandering.
——All this was not intentionally explained, he really didn't take it to heart. As long as you can eat desserts from time to time, that's fine. As for how the dessert maker makes desserts... does it matter? It was System 999 who volunteered to help the host monitor Zhang Chen.
In order not to be reduced to food reserves, today's system 999 is also working hard, actively working overtime.
[Host, in the past three days, Zhang Chen has only coded 100,000 to 60,000 words including the manuscript, and only coded for five hours a day. This work attitude is not good. This is the legendary saying "If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to expose the tiles"!]
This day, when I had nothing to do, I ran to Zhang Chen's computer for a walk along the network cable. The system 999 ran back, and opened its mouth to blah.
After following the host for a long time, he has the attitude of becoming a supervisor.
Yuan didn't support his chin: "Well, it's really not possible. It seems that the sense of crisis is not strong enough..."
As soon as he heard his words, the system 999 gloated, and hurriedly said: [That's it! This typewriter has no self-awareness at all! I only write such a little bit every day, and I still have time to hook up with female readers in the reader group. This system doesn't feel tired at all, so I can play with him!]
It looks like the overseer is suing the slave owner, and he is going to punish the disobedient slaves, and the picture feels like it.
It is rare that the system 999 is so active. Of course, the subjective initiative of this tool system cannot be suppressed, but it must be actively encouraged and carried forward: "Then let you do it."
He took out his mobile phone, opened the official app of the Special Affairs Bureau, and immediately found many abnormal events, including Xu Zhenzhen's death case. The cases were all taken over by the Special Affairs Bureau, and the real case was not announced to ordinary people.
So far, abnormal things have only appeared for a year, and the order that the government has maintained for a hundred years is not enough to be impacted. In order to allow society to function normally and not cause any impact on ordinary people, the Bureau of Special Affairs has concealed everything.
"You just need to push a few case reports every day to Zhang Chen's mobile phone or computer..." Yuan Buwei slid his finger on the screen, and the corners of his lips slightly curved, "Well, I believe he should have enough crises soon Feeling."
After all, the official concealment of the news is to protect ordinary people who don't know, and they don't want to create panic in society. But it was just to intimidate Zhang Chen alone, and he didn't do it, but he didn't have any psychological burden at all.
Thinking of this, he said again: "First push Xu Zhenzhen's case. In a sense, this person died for him. How can we not let him know?"
He heaved a sigh of relief.
The system 999 understands it all at once.
That night, because the nightmare incident had passed for a few days, nothing happened after that, and a large amount of reputation points were earned every day. A group of readers were farting rainbow farts. Then the news feed will appear on the browser home page.
What appeared along with the news push was a horrifying photo of the scene. On the bloody floor, the girl's pale head looked so familiar.
Zhang Chen's cold sweat flowed down "shua".
If he hadn't been severely beaten by the nightmare space, he would have almost cried out.
Even though he had already experienced more terrifying horrors than this in the endless loop of nightmares, seeing a girl who was once alive and secretly video-videoed with him suddenly turned into such a tragic state, brought people another feeling Is it another? Horror. Just like? The tragic death of a stranger can only make people sigh, but the tragic death of an acquaintance will cause people to panic, as if it will be their turn next.
Not coming out? As expected, Zhang Chen was really stimulated. And what he didn't know was that every day in the future, there would be no less excitement like this?...
Stimulated by the overwhelming sense of crisis, Zhang Chen could only grasp his only life-saving straw—the Wenhao system—and finally entered a state of crazy coding like a runaway.
The mastermind behind the scenes didn't do anything, but gave the system 999 a command to shift their attention to more interesting things, such as the mission of the Special Affairs Bureau.
There are three major forces in this world? They are the current Tianxia where the original is not located, the Stewart Empire in the north, and the Aran Alliance formed by hundreds of small countries in the west. Since the industrial revolution nearly a century ago, many countries have embarked on their own different paths. Tianxia is a republic, the Stewart Empire is a constitutional monarchy, and the hundreds of small countries in the Alan Union are dominated by a federal system.
Since a year ago, abnormal events began to occur in various parts of the world. The officials of the three major powers were the first to notice something was wrong, and they had their own countermeasures.
It was against this background that the Special Events Investigation Bureau was established. It was established hastily at first, but now it is gradually on the right track. When they first came into contact with those weird events and sealed items, it was equivalent to crossing the river by feeling the stones. They also paid a considerable sacrifice. Even now, it is not uncommon for investigators to die in anomalous events.
Therefore, the Bureau of Special Affairs has always been short of manpower, and it is still recruiting new people continuously.
Whenever signs of suspected abnormal events are discovered in various places in Tianxia, peripheral personnel will report them to the special affairs bureaus in various places. Investigate where the abnormal event occurred.
If it is found out that nothing has anything to do with supernatural powers, then everyone will be happy; if it is discovered that it is a weird act, we must try our best to find out strange rules and restrict them so as not to be triggered by ordinary people who do not know; For sealed items, it is even more necessary to find ways to contain them.
Now that there is Zhang Chen, a tool person, who works diligently to write the codes for the original, he is free, just right? He is very interested in the weirdness and sealed items of this world, so he directly turned over the task of the Special Affairs Bureau surface.
With his current status as a third-level investigator, none of the tasks he could see were too difficult. It was more like they were specially reserved for newcomers to practice and accumulate experience.
Then, Yuan did not take a page in one go.
— a whole page!
But in the blink of an eye, the other investigators who were looking at the task list just watched the entire page of tasks "Swipe" were all ticked off, and the same investigator number "404" was displayed on the back. Can't help showing? Confused eyes: "???"
... Is this not what they thought it meant
Others didn't know who the number 404 represented, but the three Chu Kuang who recommended the original one knew it very well. Seeing the changes in the task bar, they couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Yun An is a pure newcomer, and he took so many tasks at once when he came up, is it really all right?"
Just because it's not difficult doesn't mean it's not difficult. Investigators are a job that needs to be cautious. If you underestimate the task at the beginning, you will inevitably stumble! What's more, the so-called difficulty is only estimated by the Special Affairs Bureau based on the statements of peripheral members. It is not unheard of for the estimate to be too high or too low.
Although they are worried, they are also investigating a difficult and abnormal incident, and they can't lend a helping hand. They can only send a message to remind Yuan Weiwei to be more careful.
When I received the news, Yuan Buwei had already solved five tasks, the first two were ordinary incidents, but because some people were suspicious and spread false rumors, it became more and more mysterious. The other three missions are caused by the sealed item.
Now these three sealed items are all contained by Yuan Buwei.
What impressed him the most was the "indescribable spray bottle".
It is said that the holder? Originally? Purchased a bottle of perfume from the Internet, and couldn't resist trying it out after it arrived.
Unexpectedly, after wearing perfume, she looked indescribable. The first time anyone saw her, they would only feel that a large lump of indescribable things appeared before them, and then they were inexplicably panicked. Surrounded by her, she fled - the first one to escape was herself.
I saw the owner of a large pile of indescribable things in the mirror? I was scared by myself and ran away in a hurry, and she scared more people while running on the road, which directly caused panic in a large area event.
And the original not for of course not affected.
His soul essence is much higher than that of ordinary people. In terms of this world, his spiritual intuition and spiritual resistance are far stronger than others. Even if the first thing you see is something indescribable, if you put in a little more attention, you will be able to see through the appearance and directly see its true colors.
So, he successfully communicated with the other party and found the culprit—not the perfume in the bottle, but the spray bottle itself. According to tests, any liquid put into a spray bottle and sprayed out will cause indescribable appearance to the covered person.
Except for very special Sealed Artifacts, general Sealed Artifacts, as long as they have been filed with the Special Affairs Bureau and there are no too dangerous consequences, the investigators who take them into custody can use them first.
Yuan did not decide to keep it.
… After all, it’s fun isn’t it
Therefore, the worries of Chu Kuang and the others are completely unnecessary.
No pressure for him on this page of tasks? When he received the news, Yuan Buwei had already started investigating another anomaly—#bald cult#.
At first it was just someone nice? Duan Duan slept all night, and when he woke up in the morning, he had a big bald head, smooth and round, with no hair left, and even the root of the hair could not be seen. It was so sad to see? tears!
At first, when someone called the police, the police station thought it was a prank, but the number of the same victims increased rapidly in a short period of time, and soon there were nearly a hundred people.
These people panicked when they found their hair missing at first; within a few days, they got used to it; later, they even took the initiative to cancel the report at the police station, saying "bald is the most beautiful" and "people without hair are the most beautiful" "It's only right and proper" and "everyone should be arrested and shave their heads unanimously"; in the end, when they saw people with hair appearing in front of them, these people even rushed forward and wanted to shave their heads. He was turned over to the police station by others.
Only then did the police discover that these people had formed an atmosphere similar to a cult. Not only praise the bald head, but also show signs of brainwashing others and pulling others into gangs.
The peripheral members stationed at the police station immediately realized that something was wrong, and judged that this might be an abnormal event.
After Yuan Buwei arrived, he used the powerful capabilities of the system 999 to find out all the daily life trajectories of these people, and quickly discovered something in common.
This group of people are all lovers of a niche forum, and they like to explore all kinds of strange things. A week ago, they all participated in an event held by the forum, exchanging exotic items during the event, and they didn't know where they saw all kinds of weird rituals, and a group of people hugged them for fun. Thought? Tried it again, but no one took this matter to heart.
[Host, I found out. One of the ceremonies they held at that time was a god sacrifice ceremony, which originated from a long-extinct ethnic group in the Aram Alliance, called the Guerba. The Guerba people have special god worship, and shaving their heads is just the most basic ritual of god sacrifice...] The system 999 can turn the whole world's network upside down in three seconds, and finding out some information is easy.
"... God Sacrifice Ceremony?"
The Bureau of Special Affairs didn't release investigators after they took them in. There is still a lot of relevant knowledge available on the official website. For example, the most basic common sense is that weirdness itself is a rule beyond the control of human beings, and the behavior that is most likely to provoke weirdness is to participate in special rituals or games. Like the pen fairy game that is popular in the campus, it is only easy to provoke the pen fairy, if it happens to trigger a certain weird rule, it will be over.
This incident is mostly related to weirdness.
Yuan Buwei uploaded all the circumstances of his investigation to the mission APP, which immediately aroused the alert of the Special Affairs Bureau.
Sealed Artifacts can still be used by investigators, but uncontrolled weirdness is much more dangerous, no matter how important it is to be careful? It can't be overstated.
When the three of Chu Kuang appeared in front of Yuan Buwei, Yuan Buwei was stunned for a moment: "Are you here?"
"After all, you are just a rookie, Yunan. You may not have enough experience to deal with weird incidents alone." Chu Kuang, the captain, was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained.
Yuan Buwei nodded: "I understand."
In fact, he is also happy to have someone take over.
If it's an interesting Sealed Artifact, or? Like the last time? It's nothing more than a weird rule that can pull people into a strange realm and have a steady stream of energy. He is very interested. But this time the weirdness is neither interesting nor edible, and the bald headed cult created by it is very irritating to the eyes, and the san value is lowered after watching too much, which really makes him unable to cheer up.
The three of them were quite experienced. After Yuan Buwei learned about the existence of the ritual, he quickly applied for several prisoners to assist.
Sure enough, the prisoners who performed the ritual showed a tendency to move closer to the "bald cult" after a week.
It has been verified by various methods that the weird rules will be triggered only when the god sacrifice ceremony is held, and the "bald cult" is not contagious. On the same day, the news about the Guerba people on the entire network was completely deleted. The announcement of feudal superstition activities and cult worship was also publicized by all TV stations for a whole month.
Let’s not mention these later things. Seeing that the task was completed? Was it about to be? The three of Chu Kuang who hurried away couldn’t help squinting their eyes and looked at the few people from beginning to end. Perspective is average, but incomparably keen:
"I forgot to ask before, are you going to donate kidneys for charity?"
This is of course a joke, there is no special reason, and the possibility of three people suddenly donating kidneys at the same time is very rare.
"...Or, did you encounter any abnormality?"
The expressions of the three of them changed immediately.
Being reminded by Yuan Buwei, they seemed to feel a slight pain from the position where the kidney was located, and they reached out to touch it almost in unison.
The three of them did not doubt that Yuan Buwei lied to them on purpose. Most likely there is some way to discover their problems.
Wade White's character is the most jumping off. After taking back his hand, he looked terrified and mourned heavily: "Oops, I feel that I really lack some parts on my body. Could it be that we have been targeted by that monster?"
"What's weird?"
"Of course it's a weird thing that eats organs." Bai Chi's tone seemed to be saying "the big bad wolf that eats grandma".
Chu Kuang coughed lightly: "Let me tell you, this is a murder case that happened in Yulin District, north of Tianshui City."
"About ten? days ago, someone found a dead body on the side of the road. This person was neatly dressed and had no injuries on his body. If he wasn't breathing, he looked as if he was asleep. After calling the police, the forensic medical examiner found—the deceased? The whole body is intact, but there is no heart in the body." Chu Kuang recalled the dossier he saw, and stated, "If it was done by a perverted killer, then there should be a wound on his heart, but there is not. It was as if his heart had disappeared from his body out of thin air."
An Miaomiao said, "Similar cases were discovered one after another in the next few days. The rest of the victims? Some lacked a liver, some lacked a spleen, some lacked a lung... without exception, none of them had Wound."
"One victim is the most special. He didn't die. The reason why he reported the crime was because when he went to the hospital for a physical examination, he found that he had lost a kidney for no reason."
With the experience and intuition of veteran investigators, the three of them immediately realized that what happened to this person was likely to come from the same source as the previous cases. It's just that this person was lucky, and only lost one kidney, so he didn't die.
"...This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. It must be an abnormal event. But we have investigated until now, but there is no follow-up. These victims? Can't find any similar intersection points at all. Probably violated some weird rule that we don't know, and got a body part taken away. What we have to do is find out... this rule."
However, the three of them had already been tricked before the weird rules were discovered. Could it be that they had triggered the weird rules before they knew it
The three of them were in a cold sweat, and couldn't help thinking hard, trying to recall which details went wrong.
Yuan Buwei, who was silently observing by the side, suddenly said: "Why are you so sure that it is weird and not man-made? Sealed items can also do it."
An Miaomiao retorted: "If it is man-made, it will definitely leave clues. It is weird and elusive. Man-made crimes always have his motives, but there is no connection between these victims, it is completely random."
Just like Xu Zhenzhen cursed Yun An with the flame of hatred, there are traces to follow.
"Why can't man-made be random?" Yuan Buwei smiled softly, "Perhaps it takes a long time to brew goodwill, but it only takes a moment to be malicious."
All three of them fell silent.
At this moment, a special sound came from everyone's mobile phone, which meant that something urgent had happened.
As soon as I turned on the phone, what appeared was a video.
It seemed to be a live broadcast room, and what appeared in the camera was a young male star whom he didn't know before.
This video should have been intercepted during the live broadcast. At the beginning, the little fresh meat is interacting with fans, answering fans' questions with a smile, and the scene looks harmonious.
But after ten seconds, the painting style changed to a horror movie.
I saw the male star suddenly let out a scream. Immediately afterwards, a mist of blood visible to the naked eye evaporated from his body. From head to toe, from top to bottom, his skin disappeared instantly in full view of everyone.
Immediately there appeared a person whose skin had been stripped, leaving only flesh and blood exposed to the air, and he passed out from the pain.
Below the video is the general notice issued by the Special Affairs Bureau.
"Urgent notice. An abnormal event occurred in a live broadcast room. Nearly 10,000 people in the live broadcast room witnessed it with their own eyes. The follow-up impact is extremely bad. Temporary tasks have been issued..."
One task after another was issued to each investigator, referring to everyone's current scope of activities, investigator level, and the ability of the sealed item held in their hands. The ultimate goal is naturally to minimize the impact of this incident.
Ruyuan is not for such an ordinary Mengxin, and he does not have a sealed item to erase his memory, so he only received the task of investigating the clues of this matter.
He held the phone without moving, clicked on the video again, and then watched it again. His eyes were always staring at the screen thoughtfully, and the bottom of his dark eyes was filled with some kind of inexplicable excitement. .
... It looks like a predator staring at its prey? It's about to pounce and kill in the next moment.
Seeing the change in his demeanor, Bai Chi couldn't help shaking his body, and moved his steps carefully to the side, and he quietly reached out to pull An Miaomiao's sleeve.
As a result, as soon as the finger was stretched out, a voice that was originally not faint came from beside the ear:
"Do you think this scene is a bit familiar?"
"Ah?" Bai Chi stupidly opened his mouth wide.
The other two reacted, and there was an extremely incredible look in their eyes: "You mean?"
Yuan Buwei raised his head, met their eyes, and said with a smile, "Skin is also a kind of organ, isn't it?"
