Aoba Office

Jiang You mentioned the office.

I briefly explained the matter to Wu Ling and Fatty, and then hurried to the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants.

When I arrived at Gongnong No. 6 Village, I saw a dark community. There was no one at the door, and there were no street lights on in the community.

This is obviously a residential area, but it is like those remote factory areas, with no people in sight and no popularity at all.

I didn't see Yin Qi. It was only after entering Building 6 that I saw Ye Qing's Yin Qi.

I opened the door of the office and called Ye Qing after entering. I didn't get a response, and I didn't see Jiang You.

Jiang You is not here.

Or is it that something has happened?

I felt uneasy and looked around the office.

At the end of the corridor is the abstract painting. This hasn't changed.

There are a lot fewer cardboard boxes in other rooms. It might have been taken away by Wu Ling and the others.

The filing cabinet is empty and the files are now at my house.

The damage left by the Behemoth monster is still there, without any change.

The moonlight shines in through the cracks in the walls and the gaps in the glass windows, giving the interior a silvery tint.

The office couldn't be more peaceful, it didn't look like anyone had been here.

I called Ye Qing again, but still got no answer.

Coming out of the office, I looked down at the stairs.

Is it possible that the entrance to the different space here has been opened? Jiang You was sucked into that future world?

My heart tightened and I rushed to the stairs.

I don't see anything unusual.

I remember that Gu Mo could hear the strange wind noise here.

I called Wu Ling and Gu Mo answered the call.

"...There is no strange sound." Gu Mo said.

"You didn't hear anything?" I asked.

It's not that I don't believe Gu Mo, it's just that I'm anxious.

Something must have happened to Jiang You.

I tried calling him at the office just now, but no one answered the phone.

"Of course there is a voice, but it is not the voice you are looking for. There is no human voice." Gu Mo replied.

I'm a little helpless.

The person on the other end of the phone was Wu Ling again, "Nangong has checked. Your colleague's mobile phone is now at his home."

"Did you find the mobile phone location?"

"Yes. The location of the mobile phone and his address have been found. The mobile phone is at his home. There should be someone else at home, right?"

"It seems..." I'm not sure.

"He is the owner of the house. The house has been rented out. He may have rented out some of the rooms. We have also found out the identity of the tenant."

"ah……"

This should be an important clue.

That person may be the person closest to Jiang You.

"Can I contact him?" I asked.

"I called just now. No one answered the phone." Wu Ling said.

I'm disappointed again.

"We'll check out his place. You didn't find anything at the office, did you?"

"Yes... nothing. He seems to have never been here... He..." I suddenly remembered Jiang You's question at the beginning of the phone call.

Jiang You asked about my office... He had asked about my office before...

It was first discovered that there was such a place in the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants, and the office became the center of the topic of the demolition office for a period of time. Later, the property owner was never found, and the firm was forgotten by many people.

Jiang You asked me about the affairs of the office before, or because...

game!

Because of the detective protagonist named Ye Zi in "Souling"!

I immediately told Wu Ling about this discovery.

Wu Ling also acted quickly and immediately asked Nangong Yao to investigate.

Needless to say, Nangong Yao's strength in this area was that he found Jiang You's account in just a few moments. The records that he had downloaded "Souling" and logged into the game were all found by Nangong Yao.

"From a time perspective, he was playing that game when he was on the phone with you." Wu Ling couldn't choose this discovery.

"Then he is..." I was speechless.

"Maybe he was captured by the game... Oh, wait... His tenant was also playing "Souling" at the time." Wu Ling added.

"Two people together?" I got a headache.

"Nangong is checking the situation of game players. The number of missing people may have increased. He is also checking the game and the video released by the producer. The speed is not that fast. The specific results..." Wu Ling seemed to be talking to Nangong Yao communicated for a while, then returned to the phone and said to me, "Two or three days are definitely needed. In two or three days, there will be preliminary results. The rest depends on the situation."

"I know..." I ended the call.

Waiting for Nangong Yao to run the program and investigate all these matters, maybe all the players who were kidnapped into the game will die. I might see Jiang You first - in a dream.

This is really not good news.

But at this moment, I can't do anything.

Maybe try that game...

No, entering the game, I lost my biggest advantage.

I felt it when I watched Thunder Lord play a game in a dream before.

In the game, the initiative lies entirely in the hands of the game itself. No matter how powerful a player is, they cannot escape the limits set by the game.

I left the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants and returned home.

As I lay in bed resting, I prayed silently.

Never dream about Jiang You... never...

I was immediately plunged into darkness. Consciousness rises and falls, and finally wakes up.

I heard a voice.

"I don't understand, Bai An, why do you do this? This is not a question of money. I don't want to charge you to help you make games. You have to tell me a reason. This game already has your share..."

…

The voice sounded familiar to me.

"...I know, I will help you..."

The sound was intermittent.

"...dead...dead? How is it possible! How could...what happened! What on earth..."

I remembered something and wanted to open my eyes.

"Bai An...you..."

Opening my eyes, I saw a man.

It's Bai An.

No, it's a ghost... it's a painting!

On the computer screen is a painting, painted in Bai An's style, depicting Bai An's own portrait.

The painting began to change.

A dark figure appeared behind Bai An.

The black shadow has the outline of a human being, but gradually expands, turning into pure black that occupies the entire background of the painting.

Bai An was devoured.

Darkness filled the screen.

Light emerged from the darkness.

Like a bolt of lightning, it broke through the sky.

In the light of lightning, there is a heavy rain, and a small building in the rain.

This is the starting interface of the "Souling" game.

What was slightly different from the starting interface was that Bai An himself appeared in a window of that building.

He was leaning against the window and seemed to be screaming.

And at the gate downstairs, the dark shadow just now appeared.

A voice came from the computer.

The sound of rain, thunder... There was also a sound mixed in that sound...

"Find me...quickly...as soon as possible..."

The screen is off.

I saw the reflection on the black screen.

Steve's face was reflected on the screen.

His eyes were open and his face was expressionless.

Suddenly, he fell forward and hit the computer keyboard.
