Opening his eyes, the strange yet familiar white light made Gu Moli's mouth twitch slightly, and a gentle female voice came from beside him.
"Doctor, you can't rest yet."
"You still have a lot to do."
"... ..."
Feeling a subtle pain in his liver, Gu Moli slowly climbed out of bed.
Waiting for Gu Moli on the side was a woman in a white coat, with long golden hair draped behind her head, holding a folder in her hand, wearing glasses, and looking at Gu Moli with a worried look on her face: "Doctor? Sorry, the matter is really urgent, so I forced you to wake up..."
Gu Moli's eyes rolled.
"... ..It doesn't matter."
"What's the matter? If it's urgent, show it to me first."
"yes!"
The blonde woman immediately took out a document from the folder on her chest and handed it to Gu Moli. Thankfully, Gu Moli could understand the words on the document.
The content of the file is simple.
A photo that was enclosed showed a tightly closed stone door with countless mysterious patterns on it that looked familiar to Gu Moli. On both sides of the stone door were rows of modern soldiers holding various high-tech instruments to detect the stone door.
Below the photo is an introduction to this thing.
"A tomb from the ancient times?"
"It was found in the Samara Desert. Even with laser weapons, it cannot be opened. The material of the stone door is a special material that has never been seen before. The only clue is a string of words engraved on the stone door, but the military archaeologists are at a loss for what to do with these words..."
"Yes."
At this time, the blonde woman continued, "That's why the government sent you a message, Doctor, hoping that you can go to the Samara Desert and help the government decipher the information on the stone gate. This should play a vital role in opening the stone gate and exploring the tomb behind it."
"I see."
After roughly understanding the situation, Gu Moli murmured in a low voice.
"PhD?"
"... Can you please go out for a moment?" Gu Moli glanced at the name tag on the blonde woman's chest, and then continued very naturally: "... Sorry to bother you, Susan."
"How could it be!"
Susan waved her hand quickly: "I am a graduate student of the doctor, these are trivial matters... Then, doctor, the people who are here to pick you up are waiting outside, do you want to get ready first?"
"Going to the Samara Desert?"
"Yes."
"I see."
Gu Moli nodded: "I'll change my clothes, please ask them to wait for me for a few minutes."
"OK."
Susan gave a charming smile when she heard this, then turned and left the room.
Gu Moli finally breathed a sigh of relief after Susan left.
At least I have recovered from the severe shock.
"Damn it, 404 Forbidden, trying to scare me... This system is pretty stupid."
I glanced at the game panel, and the three big blood-red words on the exit conditions were very eye-catching.
Survive
"Prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony... The 24-character mantra of socialism protects me. Besides, I am a civil servant now. This game doesn't kill anyone, so no matter how realistic it is, it can't scare me."
Shaking his head, Gu Moli took a deep breath, and finally took action.
He first walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room.
The reflection in the mirror was a middle-aged man who looked a little handsome. His face was covered with wrinkles, but he did not look old. Instead, he had a maturity and stability that came from years of accumulation. He was wearing a dark gray suit, black leather gloves, a top hat, and holding a detective cane in his hand.
He looks like an old English gentleman from the seventies.
"Hmm."
"It seems that this time, just like in Sheti City, the players are also playing other roles."
"But I'd probably be more handsome than this when I'm fifty."
After a brief evaluation, Gu Moli turned around and began to check the entire room. Although the system had just played a bad joke on him, it actually proved that this thing was still very reliable. Even the wardrobe had a special dressing system to prevent players from taking off their clothes manually.
When you want to do this, the system will kindly pop up a prompt
Our company firmly rejects any pornographic elements. Please do not make similar actions.
Look how reliable this system is.
"Doc? Are you ready?"
"Wait a moment!"
After dealing with Susan outside the door, Gu Moli hurriedly continued to sweep the room: "We have to hurry..."
The first things Gu Moli searched were the desk and the bookshelf behind it, which took up the most space in the room, followed by the bed next to it, and then various decorations such as paintings and vases. As a well-known private detective in the industry, he still had this basic business ability.
Finally he found a notebook, a pocket pistol, and a rusty key.
... ... ... ... ... ..
Item: Someone's notebook
Quality: Broken
Equipment requirements: None
Mission Item: This is a diary with a long history, recording the life of one of your good friends. However, at first glance, it is just a bunch of disordered text. It seems that you need some special means to see its true content, but you have not found a way to decrypt it yet.
... ... ... ... ... ..
Item: Pocket Revolver
Quality: Ordinary
Equipment requirements: None
Mission Item: You always carry this small pistol with you. This is a habit you have developed for ten years. Believe me, every old gentleman should have a small pistol like this. It's a pity that there is only one bullet left in this gun. Maybe it would be a good idea to replace it
... ... ... ... ...
Item: Key
Quality: Broken
Equipment requirements: None
Quest item: A key that can open a certain door
After careful consideration, Gu Moli first picked up the rusty key. It was a very old-fashioned key hanging on a somewhat large round keychain. Gu Moli held it against the keyhole of his own door and nodded: "This is a useless prop!"
That's right.
This key is the study key of the old English gentleman that Gu Moli is currently playing.
Putting the key in his pocket, Gu Moli picked up the pocket revolver. There was indeed only one bullet in it, but it was better to have a bullet than to have no bullet, so Gu Moli put it away and put it in the inside pocket of his suit. Finally, there was the old notebook.
"ah."
Gu Moli flipped through the notebook and found only a bunch of random words: "It would be nice if I had a decryption card for the Little Tigers."
"PhD?"
Susan's voice came from outside the door: "Not ready yet?"
"alright!"
Gu Moli responded, put away his notebook, picked up his detective cane, straightened his collar, pushed open the door and walked out. Outside the door, Susan was standing side by side with another middle-aged man. When she saw Gu Moli, she hurried over.
"PhD."
Susan spread her hands to the middle-aged man behind her: "Let me introduce you, this is Officer Jack, who was sent by the government to pick you up. He was recently transferred here..."
“Hmm!”
In fact, there is no need to wait for Susan to introduce.
Gu Moli recognized the other person at first sight, and because of this, he almost couldn't hide his astonishment.
That's right.
This Officer Jack.
It turned out to be a novice script, the Sheriff of Sheti City in "Four Detectives"!
