Chapter 26 The Keeper's Five Fingers Mountain

Underground Parking Lot.

Under the dim white light, Bai Shaobao passed among hundreds of cars and walked towards a secluded corner.

He looked at his mobile phone, and the most recent one was a text message from Chen Qiang, "Keep connected until the signal is good."

He thought for a second.

"Secret Keeper, are you there?" Bai Shaobao whispered.

No echo.

"Keeper of the Secret, can players use the form of asking questions to confirm whether the Keeper of the Secret still exists?"

【cannot. 】The cold mechanical sound sounded.

"Oh." The corner of Bai Shaobao's mouth curled up in a half-smile.

[We are not guaranteed to answer similar questions in the future. 】This mechanical voice was said by Chen Qiang.

The system will not answer the same question repeatedly, but it may not be able to identify complex tautologies, or it is not bothering to identify them at all.

Don't let Xiaobai feel that the system can be led by the nose.

"I see. Can you define the category of 'similar'?"

【……】silence.

Bai Shaobao nodded slightly.

For him who couldn't see the result of the dice, the game was so real that he doubted whether he had entered a virtual reality game or his consciousness had been implanted in another person's body.

There is no interface, only the existence of the "Keeper" can make him feel that this is a game rather than reality.

In this immersion MAX game, the "Secret Keeper" who is like a voice assistant is the least intelligent.

Is the "Secret Keeper" an AI, or is it just a person like the last time Chen Qiang took it out and Xiaoxue started a group running game?

There is a famous saying in the action game industry:

Hesitate and you will lose!

"I'm sorry, Brother Chen."

Bai Shaobao, he decisively turned off the phone completely.

There is no other reason, it is simply that I don't want to answer Chen Qiang's call later, and keep talking with Chen Qiang.

The basement is a good excuse.Even if you bump into Chen Qiang, you can lie and say where you left your phone.

It's not that he questioned Chen Qiang's character, but that Bai Shaobao really didn't want to bet his hope of clearing the customs on Chen Qiang, who didn't know the details.

Bai Shaobao didn't believe that this kind of technology comparable to the "Lord God Space" would allow them to play without being on duty.

Chen Qiang is the CEO of "Fortress of Reason", and he also came up with almost exactly the same game rules in advance.

If there is an undercover agent among our investigators, then Chen Qiang is the biggest suspect!

of course.

For a company that can develop this kind of technology, it is a small shrimp that can be manipulated by others. Even if it declares its withdrawal to the secret keeper, it will not be able to escape.

But even so, I, Bai Shaobao, don't want to go down the main line that you have arranged!

As long as it's a sandbox game, don't expect me to follow the plot!Didn't you let me test the BUG?I will test whether the sand table can give a reasonable response when the player does not play cards according to common sense!

It's just that the current information is too insufficient.It is necessary to get as much information as possible before the banquet starts.

He headed for the emergency evacuation stairs around the corner.

[Bai Shaobao successfully listened to 56/61]

"Well!"

The sound from the stairs made him hold his breath suddenly.

……

Sister Qiu sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby and drank a glass of brandy handed to her by Tu Lizhu.I have to say that this classical British therapy is very effective. Sister Qiu's breathing is becoming more and more stable.

"Xiao Tu, come here." Chen Qiang pulled Tu Lizhu aside.

"Sister Qiu still needs to take care of..."

"You take this." Chen Qiang looked around to confirm that no one was paying attention here, and stuffed the Kahr-MK9 into Tu Lizhu's pocket, "and this."

He held out another sharp blade.

"Huh? This is..."

"It's all Miss Qiu's stuff," Chen Qiang said, "Looking at her devastated appearance, you can keep the pistol and put it in your bag for self-defense, and give the blade to Miss Qiu."

"But……"

"I still have a blade."

[Chen Qiang listened to 63/70 success]

"I heard the sound of the police car," Chen Qiang said gently, "I will trouble you to accept the police interview in the name of the car owner later. I will go in first."

He turned around and passed a guest, nearly knocking the man to the ground.

"Watch the road..." The man muttered and glared at Chen Qiang with a look that said, "You don't have eyes."Chen Qiang ignored his indignation and strode forward.

"Well……"

Only Chen Qiang knew: he was staring at the air in front of him on the surface, but he was actually performing "split-screen" operations in his field of vision.

Just like he can hear all the questions the player asks the "Keeper", he can also monitor the current vision of all investigators with an invisible display in his field of vision, or choose an investigator to synchronize the ones he can hear sound.

And when the investigator said the word "Keeper", he would receive a reminder no matter what.

The investigator wanted to do some tricks behind Chen Qiang's back, but he was thinking too much.

Bai Shaobao has been wary of Chen Qiang's big boss behind the scenes, but he never expected...

Chen Qiang himself is the big boss behind the scenes.

"Sister Qiu and Xiao Tu stayed in the lobby."

"Both Xiaobai and Shi Li's positions are stopped underground... are they going to meet?"

……

Underground Parking Lot.

Bai Shaobao took out his shotgun from his golf bag.

Crouching down, he began to move silently towards the stairs.

[Bai Shaobao stealth 7/55 success]

There was the sound of fighting on the landing... a man and a woman.

Don't get it wrong, it's literally a fight.

The light was extremely dim, making it difficult for Bai Shaobao to see the faces of the two people clearly.

[Bai Shaobao successfully investigated 34/75]

So Bai Shaobao noticed.

That woman...is Shirley.

……

[Alison Smith's combat check was successful 74/75]

[? ? ?Failed dodge check 31/30]

[Damage 1D3=2]

Shi Li, who had no idea that her dice just now was a bit of a monster, punched the man on the nose.The man let out an "ah" and had a nosebleed.

[? ? ?Combat check 33/35 success]

[Alison Smith's dodge check was successful 29/52]

Shi Li turned her head to one side, and dodged the man's angry attack lightly, and then -

The man only heard the whistling wind behind his head, and instinctively lowered his head, only to see a tall oriental man in a suit with a fierce look, holding a rifle in his hand, and was waving the butt of the gun towards the back of his head.

man:"???"

Dude, where did you come from, why did you hit me without saying anything!

[Bai Shaobao failed the combat check 77/51]

Although he dodged Bai Shaobao's gun butt, the man who was flanked back and forth sat down on the ground in embarrassment.

"Help..." The man wanted to shout out.

[Alison Smith's Combat Skill Check 7/75 succeeded]

[? ? ?Failed dodge check 79/35]

Shi Li had already locked the man's throat.Now there is no need for a check, the last scene in the man's eyes was fixed on the butt of the gun that Bai Shaobao waved.

　Shi Li's part is really European. PS: Thanks to the bragging professional boss for the chapter recommendation!His "God-Level Companion" is a super interesting book. Wait, I seem to have a new idea...
