Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 310 Crime Scene Investigation
"Welcome to New York City." Standing on the streets of New York City, LS Diss made a show gesture towards the two.

"This is the surreal world? It doesn't look any different." Xing Tianyu looked at the surrounding street scene and said, the sun was shining brightly, the trees were like shadows, pedestrians were walking around, and cars were coming and going.Seems like nothing out of the ordinary.

Sylvia also nodded. This world looks very ordinary, far from being a [surreal] place.

LS Diss patiently explained, "That's because the tone of our story has not changed. We are now in the tone of a life movie, the tone of a novel about office workers written by Gabriela. Anything in that tone is flat, and we try not to change that as much as possible."

"But, then how do we find my daughter?" Sylvia forcibly resisted the urge to use prophecy.

"It's very simple. I'll show it to you later, but in the meantime, we have to change our clothes."

"What happened to our clothes?"

Xing Tianyu glanced at the black windbreaker on his body, and then at the red windbreaker on Sylvia.

"Too striking."

"Could it be that just because of a fashionable dress will cause trouble to the upper body?" Xing Tianyu was a little hard to accept.

"Believe me, the last time I came here, I was almost blown into dust just because of a bad haircut." LS Diss said in an indescribable tone.

No way, the three of them had no choice but to find a store and change all their clothes into casual clothes. They looked like ordinary people with nothing to do. Sylvia even bought it at the request of LS Diss. Hat, made a pair of eyes, made it look like an ordinary person as much as possible.

"Now can you tell us how to find my daughter!" Standing in front of the clothing store, Xing Tianyu asked while fidgeting with the hem of his clothes.

LS Diss nodded, "It's very simple, set a flag. You see, this world has its own unique rules. If you break the rules, you will be punished, and if you say the wrong thing, you will die. But if you say the right thing , you will get the result you want." LS Diss said, and handed a note to Sylvia, "Read this sentence."

Sylvia glanced at the note with a strange expression on her face, but she read it out anyway.

"Oh my God, there is no hope, we must never find our poor daughter."

However, after finishing the reading, there was no reaction from the surrounding area. Xing Tianyu looked around, and then looked at LS Diss, 【This guy is playing tricks on us, right? 】The eyes clearly said.

Facing the questioning gazes of the two, LS Diss sighed helplessly, "When you read this sentence, you have to be more involved and have a little emotion. After all, you have also been actors, haven't you?"

Sylvia nodded after hearing this, and first brewed her emotions, then put away the note, she grabbed Xing Tianyu's arm, "Oh my God, there is no hope, we will never find our poor daughter."

This time, Sylvia put so much effort into it, and even cried a bit in her voice, which even made Xing Tianyu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Stop!" LS Diss looked at Xing Tianyu with a look of hatred, "I've said it all, stop talking nonsense, why are you still talking?"

Xing Tianyu was at a loss, thinking that he was just comforting Sylvia, and that's okay?
"Are you kidding, I'm just—" But before he finished speaking, a mini Beetle suddenly sped past the three of them, and the driver was a little girl of Chinese and Western race.

"Look quickly." Sylvia pointed at the face of the little girl exposed by the car window in surprise.Although it was just taking the time to glance away, no matter their temperament or appearance, there was a hint of the two of them.

"Could that be—"

LS Diss nodded, "That's right, it's her. Look, I said it's easy to find her."

LS Diss spoke and hailed a taxi. After the three of them entered, LS Diss immediately pointed at the front, "Follow the car in front of me." The taxi driver was also very cooperative, and immediately kicked the accelerator , and chased after him like a lightning bolt.

The car in front was driving fast, but the taxi driver was even more reluctant to give way, the accelerator flew up, and he chased after him in the blink of an eye, not far or near.

Sylvia looked at the car in front of her and suddenly asked, "Why has our daughter grown so big? She's only been away for three days."

"Different worlds have different time flows. And I guess she may have mastered the ability to flash forward."

"What is flash in?"

"When you are watching a TV series or movie, sometimes, in order to advance the plot, the screen will suddenly turn black, and then words like [ten years later], [three years later], [six months later] will appear on the screen. , and then the plot comes after a while, you can do the same in this world, but usually only a few people can master this ability, your daughter must be a genius."

"But." Xing Tianyu opened his mouth to ask, but the questions in his head finally turned into a sigh, forget it, this world is too weird.Xing Tianyu could only choose to accept this setting.

Sylvia was not so easy to dismiss, "Where is she going? Why can she drive at the age of 12? And why do I know she is 12 years old this year?"

This time LS Diss didn't bother to answer, just spread his hands, and with a creak, the mini Beetle speeding ahead suddenly stopped, and Xing Ziyue, who was wearing a windbreaker, got out of the car, wearing sunglasses, although she was petite, But it still made the two of them feel a resolute temperament. This feeling is very strange, as if the whole world—or at least the nearby streets are centered on her, and even the people around her The light seems to be brighter and clearer.

No one seemed to notice this strange phenomenon, but neither Xing Tianyu nor Sylvia was an ordinary person, their sensory abilities far surpassed ordinary people, even without magic, they could still detect the strangeness.

And LS Diss obviously also found out, "My God! She is a heroine, and your daughter is actually a heroine!"

"speak English."

LS Diss explained, "As I said before, in this world, everyone is a part of a certain story, but most people are just passers-by in the story, and a few people will become side effects and supporting roles. There are very few people who can be at the heart of a story, move the story forward, become the protagonist of a story, and your daughter is clearly one of those people."

"What would it be like to be the main character?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the tone of the story, but generally it will be very powerful, and can affect all the people and things around. Every word and action can change the reality. Eh, the place she went to seems to be a murder scene. From this point of view, The tone of your daughter's story should be a criminal investigation movie, and her character is either a genius policeman or a genius detective."

Xing Tianyu still couldn't believe it, but he didn't have time to question it now.The three got out of the car and walked towards the crime scene. From a distance, they saw Xing Ziyue talking to a bearded sheriff with a familiar expression.

"What happened? Sheriff Richard." Xing Ziyue put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker and asked with a frown, "Another murder?"

The sheriff nodded, "It's another murder case. The deceased was a researcher of Adam Technology. His home seems to have been ransacked. The initial suspicion is that it was a burglary."

Xing Ziyue nodded, she looked the sheriff up and down, and suddenly said, "You look a bit wrong, what's the matter?"

The sheriff nodded, "It's true, it's like this, I'm retiring next week, this should be the last time I'll solve a case with you, I have to say, I can get to know you in my police career ,I feel very honored."

Xing Ziyue's face changed slightly, and she took a step back calmly. "I'm also honored to be able to cooperate with you. It's a pity. We were originally a good pair. What are your plans after retirement?"

"I am going to open my own bakery. This is a dream I have had since I was very young. Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to realize it. This time I can finally come true."

Xing Ziyue took a step back calmly, "Bakery, does it sound like a boring job? Don't you think about working for a few more years before retiring?"

The sheriff shook his head: "As long as you are with the person you love, how can you be bored? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I met a girlfriend recently. She is very beautiful. I plan to return to my hometown after I retire. marry her."

A trace of panic flashed in Xing Ziyue's eyes, and she took another step back.

It seemed that the distance was far enough, she shook her head regretfully, "Can I have a look at the crime scene?"

"Not yet. Our personnel are collecting evidence and eliminating threats. It should be over soon."

At this time, a policeman suddenly ran out of the house, "Sheriff, it's confirmed that it's safe inside, but you'd better take a look, we've made some special discoveries."

The sheriff stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Then let's go in together."

Xing Ziyue nodded, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, I suddenly remembered, I seem to have seen a few suspicious guys nearby, why don't you go in first, and then go in after I have checked the situation outside There's still time, I'll take a look around first." Xing Ziyue flatly refused.The sheriff didn't take it seriously, nodded, and followed the policeman into the room.

Xing Ziyue watched the sheriff enter the house, but a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She began to survey the scene outside, searching for footprints or something. looked towards the house.

At this moment, standing outside the isolation line, Xing Tianyu and Xivia were nervous, absurd, and pleasantly surprised.The joy is that my daughter was finally found, and she seems to be alive and well.What I think is absurd is that a 12-year-old girl is investigating the crime scene. No matter how you look at this kind of thing, it makes people feel absurd and inconsistent, but the people around them don't seem to feel it at all, as if this is The same as normal things.As for the nervousness, it is because the baby girl of a few months turned into a 12-year-old girl in the blink of an eye, how should I recognize this?How should we explain after the recognition?
However, this kind of thing cannot be avoided after all.Gathering up their courage, the two opened the cordon and walked in.

"Listen, you used to be a writer. If she asks what's going on in a while, you can handle it." Sylvia said as she walked, and before Xing Tianyu could answer, she quickened her pace, "Ziyue , Long time no see, how are you?" Sylvia asked a little excitedly.

Xing Ziyue turned around abruptly, and looked at the two suspiciously. "who are you?"

Xing Tianyu opened his mouth and was about to speak when suddenly there was a loud bang, a violent explosion, and flames soaring into the sky. The entire victim's home was blown to pieces as if hit by a thousand-pound bomb.

"My God!" There were exclamations and screams all around, Xing Ziyue glanced at the ruined house, but shook her head calmly. "Sorry, I have to excuse you for a moment." Then he ran towards the house.

Xing Tianyu and Sylvia looked at the exploded house with expressions of surprise and uncertainty, wondering what is going on?
At this time, LS Diss came over, with an ugly expression on his face, "It seems that the story line of your daughter is not normal, you better get to know each other quickly, lest things go too far, I will step aside for a while, wait for you Contact me after you're done, I don't want to get involved in such a dangerous matter."

After finishing speaking, the two of them were not allowed to stay, and turned around as if to run away.
