Chapter 13 "The Demon with Thousand Faces"

After ordering a family bucket meal on the mobile phone, Zhou Ze leaned on the sofa, drinking the fat house happy water while reviewing the fighting skills on the computer.

Half an hour later, he accidentally discovered that the little brother who delivered food yesterday was outside the door again.

"Yo, it's really fate."

The delivery boy greeted Zhou Ze and handed him the family bucket: "Eat such greasy food early in the morning?"

"Would you like a chicken drumstick?"

Zhou Ze pulled out a chicken leg from the bucket with a paper towel.

"Thank you, I just haven't had breakfast yet, so you're welcome."

The takeaway boy took the chicken leg and started to gnaw on it, chatting with Zhou Ze while he gnawed.

"You live here alone, don't you? You have to be careful recently. There was a particularly scary murder case on Fenghua Road this morning. When I went there to deliver food, I found that half the street was blocked. I heard that the victims The victim died miserably, and the murderer has not been caught yet."

"Fenghua Road? So close?" Zhou Ze was slightly surprised.

Fenghua Road is less than two kilometers away from his community, and it couldn't be any closer.

If it was an ordinary person who heard that there was a murder nearby and that the murderer was still at large, he would be too scared to go out in the middle of the night.

But he is different.

With a combat power close to 10 points, he is almost equivalent to a little superman. Unless the opponent has a gun, it is not certain who is afraid of whom.

Zhou Ze couldn't resist his curiosity: "What kind of cruel method?"

"I didn't ask much about it. I was in a hurry to deliver food at that time."

The takeaway boy recalled: "But I heard that several criminal police officers at the scene couldn't hold back their vomiting."

The corner of Zhou Ze's mouth twitched: "...that was really miserable."

The two hadn't chatted a few words when the delivery boy's mobile phone rang a new order notification, and he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

"Murderer? It's a pity that I don't have any investigative methods, otherwise it would be nice to play a superhero to catch bad guys."

Zhou Ze was eating fried chicken, thinking wildly in his head.

If the police couldn't find the murderer, how could he, an outsider with no clues and no right to investigate, find him?It is not so easy to be a hero.

Compassion is useless, self-improvement is the kingly way.

After eating half a bucket of fried chicken, he continued to hold the spirit stone and breathe out.

Another five hours passed in the blink of an eye.

2020年11月24日下午14：29分。

He finally raised his character stats to more than 10 combat power points!
[Zhou Ze: Human, 178cm tall, 141kg in weight, healthy. 】

[2.5 points for physical strength, 2.7 points for spiritual strength, 4.5 points for special skills, and 1 point for combat knowledge. 】

[The total basic combat power is 10.7 points. 】

[Comprehensive evaluation: Weak chickens with only 10 fighting power, only recommended for 1-star games. 】

"The evaluation has been upgraded from slag to weak chicken, and the word 'partial' after only recommending is also cancelled."

Zhou Ze made a rigorous analysis: "It means that with my current strength, I can play all 1-star games without hindrance?"

Full of anticipation, he clicked on the "Thousand-Faced Devil" game he bought the day before yesterday.

The cover of the game is very simple, there is only a faceless face in the dark, and there are countless creepy and weird granulation on the face, it looks like a suspenseful horror game.

[Thanksgiving limited game "Thousand-faced Demon", only a single chapter "Murderer", game difficulty: 1 star. 】

[This game can be rewarded with a maximum of 100 merit points for clearing the level. The exclusive rewards for clearing the level are 'Unreal Mask' and 'Absolute Intuition Experience Card'. If you clear the level with more than 1 points, you can get the achievement of 'Famous Detective'.There is an in-app purchase option, there is only one chapter, and there are no subsequent expansion chapters. The difficulty of the game is: [-] star. 】

[The remaining time of this game is 41 hours, 52 minutes and 12 seconds, and the game will be permanently deleted after the time is over. 】

"There is still a time limit, but this time it is close to two days, which is much more relaxed than the five and a half hours of "Meteor Crisis."

Seeing the familiar remaining time, Zhou Ze lamented that the world game really still has to race against time.

After the game was loaded, the squirming face on the cover gradually burst into a piercing smile, and quickly zoomed in on the entire screen, like a faceless man swallowing the entire screen with his mouth...

"what!!!"

An unexpected soprano scream came from the speakers, and he almost jumped up from the sofa in fright.

"Is the game so exciting at the beginning?"

Zhou Ze shuddered, and quickly turned down the volume of the game console.

A dialog box popped up from the pitch-black game interface: "Hey, is it still too late?"

"What's late? Who said this sentence?"

Zhou Ze looked at the game interface suspiciously.

Unlike the first time he played the world game, this time he knew very well that the character he manipulated was his future self.

He clicked the handle, trying to check the next text, but found that the CG at the beginning of the game only had this dialog box, there was no additional redundant information, and the pitch-black screen quickly switched to the screen.

The game screen this time is quite realistic.

But the gameplay is... a bit hard to describe.

It is said to be a detective and tracking game, but it really has the static exploration screen of the early detective games.

The murder scene, like a 45° overhead photo, presents a well-decorated ordinary family living room of more than [-] square meters, but a torn female corpse lies on the tiled floor.

The most horrifying thing is that her face was peeled off!
"The chicken drumsticks in my hand are suddenly not fragrant."

Zhou Ze silently put down the fried chicken bucket, and decided to concentrate on clearing the game first.

"The world game is so real in this scary place..."

In addition to the corpse, there was a middle-aged woman about 40 years old standing in the living room, her face was terrified, she was retching with her back to the corpse and leaning against the wall, and it might be her who made a soprano at the beginning.

There are two bloody handprint buttons in the lower right corner of the game screen, which say 'clue bar' and 'list of suspects' respectively.

In the upper left corner, there is a 18:00 minute detection countdown, which is probably some kind of restriction, but the time does not move when the picture is still.

[Mission Tip: Find the murderer who killed the girl. 】

Zhou Ze discovered that the handle joystick can manipulate a stick figure eye icon.

Move your eyes to the girl's corpse and hit the OK button.

The stick figure blinked its eyes lightly, and a string of information popped out.

[Corpse of a young woman: Unknown name, age between 18 and 25, suspected of being violently insulted during her lifetime, with multiple bruises and fractures on her torso, limbs cut with a sharp weapon, a large area of ​​skin peeled off her face, fatal injuries unknown, no body yet Zombie phenomenon...]

"The eyes are really used for investigation, and they can see such detailed information."

After Zhou Ze read the content of the message, he frowned slightly: "This demon is too ruthless. He abused him, peeled his face and dismembered him. Sure enough, it is just like what the game introduction said. Finding it and killing it is for the sake of the heavens and the people." Harmful."

Suppressing the discomfort, he carefully observed the horrific corpse several times.

He found a small hole the size of a pinhole at the back of the head covered by hair.

After investigating the small hole, a message box popped up.

[Fatally wounded. 】
