When Liu Zhi finished saying that, the smell of blood in the air seemed to be stronger and more fishy.
Not only those eleven people, the nerve endings in the brains of Chen Yang and others also began to tremble.
During their susceptible period, their psychological defenses are very low. They are easily moved, disappointed, or happy, and are also easily afraid, nervous, and collapsed.
Liu Zhi's behavior was like some kind of signal. The atmosphere created by the signal threatened their lives, and defense, vigilance, and panic rushed out.
A cold light suddenly flashed in Chen Yang's pupils.
A tasker standing behind Liu Zhi stabbed him in the back with a dagger in his hand!
In a flash, Chen Yang pounced on the tasker like a leopard, quickly grabbed his hand, took away the dagger, and knocked him unconscious.
Chen Yang's series of movements were extremely agile, so fast that only Chao Jian could catch them.
When Liu Zhi turned around with a puzzled expression, Chen Yang had already hidden the dagger and made up an excuse to deal with it.
Chen Yang cast a warning look at the other people who were ready to make a move. The mission had just begun. If something happened to another NPC, how would they find clues
The anxious sounds of smoking and spitting could be heard one after another.
Liu Zhi seemed not to notice the murderous intent around him. He squatted down to check the old man's breath and said, "The man is already dead. Don't make this public. Let's talk about it after the tourism festival is over."
Everyone looked at each other.
"We are all neighbors, I don't want to say anything too harsh." Liu Zhi's face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the eleven people, "Since you have applied for public security work during the Tourism Festival, you must do a good job and be worthy of the red armbands I handed to you!"
Before the group could react, Liu Zhi pointed at the body on the ground and said, "This will never happen again."
So... it's over? The group exchanged glances, all of them in disbelief.
"I hope that all of us can stand on the same front in the next few days, maintain order and not cause trouble." Liu Zhi emphasized and left without caring about the old man's body.
There was silence in the yard, and Chen Yang mentioned the taboo of death at this time.
The eleven people reacted violently. They started shouting and cursing with ugly expressions, as if they wanted to eat Chen Yang.
"impossible!"
"If the taboo is really that, then haven't we all violated it?"
"So many people died at the beginning? How is that possible?"
"… "
"How did the taboo come about?"
"Let's review what happened since the mission began. First, Liu Zhi sent out a registration form, saying that it had been approved from above, so we received the mission information. There is a tourism festival in three days, and we are volunteers organized by the scenic spot. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Zhi gave each of us a red armband, explained the key points of maintaining order, and revealed that three people were killed by the management. We are required to find out the real culprit before the tourism festival arrives... From these few things, we can see that the tourism festival is the top priority and is also the background of the entire mission. We..." The girl, who had been analyzing for a long time, turned pale.
According to common sense, everyone just needs to prevent accidents from happening on the day of the tourism festival and ensure that Sanlian Bridge is safe, but the rules do not go according to common sense!
How could I not have thought of that
When doing this task, my state is much worse than usual, and I will easily fall into trivial things. I am always thinking about life and cannot concentrate at all.
The girl started crying, and her teammates in the same team comforted her and cried too.
The taskers from the other two teams also broke down.
"Calm down, everyone calm down." The person who was tasked with asking everyone to calm down picked up a chair and smashed it to the ground.
Can't calm down.
Chen Yang felt a silver needle poking into the top of his head, still poking deeper and turning, causing him to have a terrible headache.
It’s too noisy, too noisy, so noisy, fuck! Chen Yang cursed a few times, holding Chao Jian’s hand tightly and walked into the house.
There was suddenly no sound behind me.
Chen Yang looked back with a premonition.
The eleven taskers stood straight, their limbs stiff, their heads tilted to one side, their eyeballs bulging out, and their faces purple.
All dead.
Zhang Qi and his two old teammates were watching from the side.
Zhang Jinyang and his four teammates, who were standing not far from the courtyard wall, witnessed the death of the group of people.
If they encountered this scene in other missions, they would be stunned by extreme fear, their brains would be blank, they wouldn't know how to shout or move, and they would be completely dumbfounded.
However, they did not act like that this time. They went crazy and made hysterical roars from their mouths.
Chen Yang was about to explode, but suddenly a pair of hands reached out and clasped his ears with slender fingers. Then, a force pushed him into the house, and the door closed behind him.
A door blocked the madness of his teammates, and also blocked the cold wind and the breath of death in the yard. Chen Yang's chest rose and fell, his hands clenched into fists, and the blood vessels in his neck throbbed violently.
"You and Ding Huichun both told me to treat the audit task as an ordinary task," Chen Yang kicked the wall a few times, squatted down with his head in his hands, and a choked gasp of being deceived escaped from his throat, "Ordinary as hell! Not ordinary at all!"
Knowing that this is a review area, I dare not sort out my inner thoughts.
It is difficult to control yourself if you don’t know the answer. After finally controlling yourself and calming down, you can’t make it to the last level.
"This is too bad." Chen Yang kept repeating these three words, "This is too bad..."
Chao Jian stood with his eyes lowered, the milk tablet in his hand was crushed into pieces by him. He was worried about Chen Yang's threshold and was cautious even with a word of comfort.
Chen Yang has walked this road twice. This is the second and final trip. If he doesn't reach the end, there will be no future.
Chao Jian closed his eyes.
Chen Yang stood up and burst into tears: "I really don't want to do the mission anymore." The review mission was too difficult and too easy to fail, because they couldn't even concentrate. They just did whatever they wanted without thinking. How could they investigate clues
Chao Jian paused slightly in squeezing the nipple. He opened his eyes, looked down, and had a pitifully dazed look on his face.
"Soon you won't have to do it anymore." Chao Jian said hoarsely, "Soon."
Chen Yang pulled Chao Jian's hand and covered his face with it. When they got out, he wanted to have a good sleep until his back and waist ached and he felt dizzy.
After waking up, everything will start over again.
The crazy screams in the yard continued. Chen Yang opened the door and looked at Zhang Qi and Zhang Jinyang, two familiar faces, and six other strangers.
"You don't want to complete the mission anymore?" Chen Yang shouted, "You don't want to get out alive either."
The eight men and women managed to quiet down a little.
Chen Yang turned his back and no longer looked at his teammates who were teetering on the tightrope. He was powerless to do anything.
The only person he could save was Chao Jian.
In order to save Chao Jian, he must move forward.
Zhang Qi rushed into the house, his eyes full of exhaustion and despair: "Eleven people died in an instant. Brother, do you think we did murder or arson in our past lives? That's why we are so unlucky in this life."
Chen Yang laughed out loud.
Zhang Qi looked at him and laughed, feeling a chill down his spine: "What's wrong, brother? What are you laughing at?"
"It's okay." Chen Yang waved his hand, "Look for clues."
"Those people must have searched long ago," Zhang Qi said. "It's a pity that they all died before they had time to exchange information."
Chen Yang noticed the movement in the courtyard. He turned around and called Zhang Jinyang, who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard. He did not ask where they were going, but just said, "Notify any tasker you meet. Gather at the old place at 7 o'clock in the evening."
"Where is the old place?" Zhang Jinyang touched his bald head, his throat tearing.
"To the west of the memorial hall." Chen Yang said. With so many people, the trip would be too big and it would be hard to find a place to gather.
Chen Yang added: "The taboo of death must also be spread!"
Zhang Jinyang and the other four were no longer in front of the courtyard. Zhang Qi looked back and said, "It seems like everyone is an experienced tasker. They should have thought of this."
Chen Yang looked at him: "You thought of that too
Zhang Qi scratched the stubble on his chin: "I guessed it."
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. He patted Zhang Qi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Qi, be careful."
Zhang Qi was stunned: "Hey!"
He introduced two mentally disturbed old teammates to Chen Yang. The female one was called Xiao Li and the male one was Xiao Xue. They both had more experience than him.
Chen Yang raised his hand and pinched Chao Jian's neck, then casually greeted Xiao Li and Xiao Xue without chatting much.
The five people divided into two groups and searched Guan Xiaoyun's home.
The girl’s room was easy to find, and soon Chen Yang found his destination.
Guan Xiaoyun's bedroom is on the second floor, facing south, with good lighting. Outside the window is a small river and three bridges can be seen.
The old man loves his granddaughter very much.
Because this house was filled with the smell of poverty, but that smell did not penetrate Guan Xiaoyun's room.
The afterglow of the setting sun makes this little world warm and beautiful.
The only inconsistency is...
There was a pair of grey sneakers neatly placed next to the bed!
It's like someone is sitting on the bed with his legs hanging down and his feet together!
Chao Jian pulled a chair to the window and sat down, his hands on his abdomen, his eyes half open under the brim of his hat, staring straight at Chen Yang as he checked his sneakers.
Chen Yang squatted in front of the bed and picked up a shoe to examine it. It was a women's shoe, size 37, a little old and had been worn for a long time. The edges of the shoe were yellowed, and the style was similar to the other shoes on the floor at the door.
These are Guan Xiaoyun's shoes.
Chen Yang put the shoe back and caught a glimpse of a dark brown spot on the other shoe. He stopped instantly. The next second, Chen Yang changed his previous cautious attitude and took the shoe in front of him without thinking. He stretched out a finger and pressed that spot, rubbed it, and then put the finger in front of his nose.
A bit fishy...
"It's blood!" Chen Yang asked in surprise, "Where did she get the blood stains?"
"It could also be her own." Chen Yang muttered to himself. He put the shoes away without finding any other clues on them.
At that moment, Chen Yang felt someone was looking at him under the bed!
The bed was covered with floral fabric and was quite large. It dragged down a bit, covering half of the bed board and the ground.
It was dark under the bed and I couldn't see what was inside.
Chen Yang pulled back the bed sheet and shone the flashlight on his phone inside.
While doing this, he was thinking, I didn't even discuss this with Chao Jian, nor did I let him accompany me.
He did not notice the signs of his gradual growth, but only felt the results of his growth.
Chen Yang stuck his head under the bed and looked inside with the help of the flashlight.
There was no ghost inside, only a male corpse. He was lying on his stomach with his body in a crawling posture, his face facing outside.
Chen Yang and he looked at each other.
“…” Chen Yang cursed and lifted the quilt to let the sunlight from the window flow in.
"Who is this man?" Chen Yang asked hoarsely. It was not Chao Jian who answered him, but himself. "There shouldn't be a fourth body."
"There are two men among the three bodies, Ye Yu and Cheng Jin. Choose one." Chen Yang bent down and dragged the bodies out.
“Brother, how are you investigating…” Zhang Qi walked into the room and stopped talking when he saw the corpse. He took a few steps back and bumped into Xiao Xue.
“This is Ye Ye Ye,” Zhang Qi stammered.
"Ye Yu?" Chen Yang continued.
Zhang Qi swallowed hard: "Yes, it's him, it's him!"
Chen Yang asked: "Are you sure?"
"Sure." Xiao Xue took out his cell phone and flipped to a photo to show Chen Yang.
The photo was a one-inch photo of the corpse.
