We Are Gamers

That's it, I have to rush to update the old book, and now the savior doesn't have a single word...

Chapter 52 Black Swallowtail

Sandbox game, exploration mode.

This is an ideal game mode for most players.

Because sandbox games often represent a very high degree of freedom of play, there is a kind of freedom to explore in a new world.

Bai Ge likes open world sandbox games very much, and is proficient in such games, and is good at exploring various game elements.

But because he is good at it, he is very clear that the difficulty of sandbox games has a lot to do with the player's game progress.

There must be a main line running through the game world in the free exploration mode.

The difficulty of the main task will be unlocked step by step as the game progresses. During the unlocking process, if the player just blindly follows the main line, it is easy to get stuck. They need to explore the current area before they get stuck. After the corresponding props, information, and the level and skills have been improved, then go to the main strategy of the targeted strategy, so that it will be a matter of course.

The third game that Baige is currently experiencing should not have left the cage of this rule.

What they need now is information, and only after they have accumulated enough information can they officially start the main storyline.

It is actually quite common to place a large amount of game information in fragments on the map for players to explore.

Bai Ge's eyes fell on the two file bags.

This is the current source of clues, two cases.

Bai Ge opened the file bag and glanced at it roughly.

He frowned and pinched the center of his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Orange asked, "The case is difficult?"

Bai Ge handed over the file without saying a word.

Tangerine also glanced roughly: "emmmmm..."

Neither of the two Chinese could understand Japanese.

"This game is too real!" Juzi curled her lips: "They don't even load a language proficient cheat."

"This is obviously intentional." Bai Ge said: "Different languages ​​make it difficult for us to obtain information and intelligence. This is the same method that often blurs key information in game texts."

"Then what should I do?" Orange said, "Shall I download a translator?"

"No, there is an interpreter here."

Bai Ge glanced at Tachibana Qianxue who was always silent, and he handed over the file directly: "Help translate."

Tachibana Qianxue remained silent, she just stared at Baige without any reaction.

Bai Ge was not surprised. He held the file bag flat and said, "You don't have to stare at me like that. I know you're in a bad mood, but please control yourself. It's also good for you to cooperate with us."

"Benefits?" Tachibana Qianxue spoke Chinese fluently: "As a second-class special investigator, what benefits do I need? I am different from you, and I will not affect official affairs because of personal affairs."

"Your official business now is to assist us."

"Does the commissioner also need assistance?"

Listening to Lihua Qianxue's bitter irony, Bai Ge not only didn't get angry, but sighed and mocked: "Are you an idiot?"

Tachibana Qianxue frowned, and was about to fight back, but Baige didn't give her a chance to speak at all: "You plan to miss such an obvious good opportunity, it's just stupid, your boss allowed us to independently investigate these two cases, as you Assistants can naturally participate, think about it a little bit, what you are assisting now is not us, but yourselves."

"If I'm not a special commissioner and I don't have enough authority, you don't have the opportunity to touch these two files. Now it is under your nose, but you are still thinking about your personal feelings, saying that I am doing favoritism for personal gain. What is it?"

Tachibana Chiyuki opened her mouth, and was forced to swallow whatever she wanted to say.

Everything Bai Ge said made sense, she was not helping them, but herself.

At present, there is a severe shortage of manpower in the Special Correspondence Bureau. She should have been rushing to the post in such a hurry, instead of accompanying these two outsiders. She knew that she was sent by the superior to be an assistant to the special commissioner. Depressed, and Bai Ge's arrogant attitude at the beginning made her even more angry.

But thinking about it now, it seems that the facts are not as she thought.

The other party was here for the case, and as an assistant, she also had the possibility to intervene, otherwise, her authority would not be enough to consult the case at this level, and it would not be her turn to handle it.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Qianxue calmed down a bit. She took a deep breath, took Baige's file bag, and began to read it carefully.

Bai Ge sat back on the chair, waiting for her to digest the file information.

Juzi looked at the two of them, they were staring at each other a moment ago, and suddenly they died down.

Both of them calmed down surprisingly.

And he was about to start spraying, so now he can only shut up obediently.

Juzi doesn't know how to cooperate with Baige at all, the white face and black face can only be played by Baige himself, like a schizophrenic, and Juzi can only be a repeater, or a low-quality repeater.

Tachibana Chiyuki's reading speed was very fast, and her first file was not too thick, with only three pages. She read it for about 5 minutes, and was about to open the second file list, but she found nothing.

Bai Ge said, "Translation."

Tachibana Chiyuki put down the first file bag: "The information collected in the first case is very little and very limited. The description in the file bag is not very clear. My overview is roughly like this."

She sorted out her words.

"Three days ago, a murder occurred in a villa in the suburbs outside the city. The deceased was named Suzuki Yoya. His body was found by a milkman at 06:30 in the morning. He was disembowelled by someone. The scene was full of people. There was a lot of blood, a mess, the furniture and items in the house were seriously damaged, and the traces left were almost completely destroyed, but only a few bloody footprints were left at the scene, and there were no fingerprints or other traces."

"From this point of view, it seems that this is just an ordinary robbery and murder. However, there are three reasons why this case is different from ordinary murders. In the end, the file fell into our hands."

"The first point is that the victim's identity is not an ordinary human being, he is a half-demon."

"Wait." Juzi raised his hand, and he carried forward the spirit of asking when he didn't understand: "What is a half-demon?"

"...A half-demon is a hybrid of humans and monsters." Tachibana Qianxue explained: "It is true that half-demons are very rare in your country, but in our opinion, this is not uncommon, because this is where humans and monsters coexist. s country."

"Oh, I got it." Tangerine asked again: "Then why don't you call it a transvestite, but a half-demon instead?"

"...you have to go to Thailand to find transvestites, there are gold leafs all over the place."

Bai Ge rolled his eyes at Tangerine, which pot does this guy not open and which pot to pick up, but although he asked nonsense, it involved a very important concept, that is, in this country, humans and monsters coexist, and even half of love crystallized. Demons are not uncommon either.

"What's the difference between a half-demon and a monster and a human?" Bai Ge asked.

"There are many types of half-demons, and the half-demons of different races also have great differences. Some are strong and some are weak, but most of the half-demons are several times stronger than ordinary humans, but the lifespan of half-demons is the same as that of humans. , the next generation born from the union with humans is no longer a half-demon, but a human being.”

"What about the appearance?"

"In terms of appearance, half-demons retain certain human appearance characteristics, but they still need to change their appearance or change shape to maintain their human appearance. Most half-demons need to purchase designated drugs to maintain their human appearance, and they also need to receive regular medical treatment. The physical examination confirmed that their physical condition remains stable." Tachibana Chiyuki asked: "Can I continue?"

Bai Ge raised his hand: "Please continue your speech."

"The first point is that Suzuki Yang is also a half-demon. He is a hybrid of a sheep demon. His blood is stable and his strength is stronger than ordinary humans. Normal burglary cannot hurt him. Even if the other party has a gun, it is very difficult. Injured monsters... and there is no smell of gunpowder smoke left at the scene, let alone bullet holes."

"Secondly, after the deceased was disembowelled, there were no missing internal organs, but two important organs were missing." Lihua Qianxue put the photos in the file on the table and pushed them in front of Baige and Juzi, blood dripping The anatomy photo shows flesh and blood.

Tangerine glanced at it, feeling nausea deep in his throat. He turned his head and covered his mouth silently: "This is too real, vomit..."

"What's missing?"

Bai Ge wisely didn't look at the photos at all, since he couldn't understand them anyway.

"One is the head, and the other is the inner alchemy." Tachibana Qianxue posted several photos again, and Tangerine looked at them and her stomach was churning. She pointed to these photos and said: "The reason why the head was taken away is still unknown , but it was taken away from the inner alchemy, which is also what you call the demon alchemy. Generally, only monsters in the transformation stage can condense life crystals, and half-monsters are born with inner alchemy, and it has been taken away. Dan, this means that this case is not a simple burglary, but a real murder case, the murderer killed the victim for the inner alchemy in his body."

"Yes." Bai Ge said, "What about the third point?"

"The third point..."

Tachibana Chiyuki took out the last photo and handed it over. This photo was no longer a bloody picture, but a black butterfly resting on the corpse.

"Now there is a black swallowtail butterfly." Tachibana Chiyuki said, "You know whose sign it is."

Bai Ge stared at the black swallowtail in the photo.

In the next moment, in the depths of his soul, the memory flashed back like a slide show, crystal fragments of memories came into view, and black discs were flying all over the sky.

------------

ps: There is a second update.

Chapter 53 Black Swallowtail

Memories are flashing back, time is fleeting.

The time for Bai Ge to be distracted was only a short moment, but he remembered a lot of the past, and the sudden extra fragments of information made his thinking a little bit disordered, and he had to close his eyes to adjust his emotions.

Seeing Bai Ge's expression, Juzi thinks that he, like himself, is doing evil in his heart after seeing this dissection photo, so he closes his eyes on purpose to look away.

"What's wrong?" Lihua Qianxue asked, "What's wrong with this black swallowtail?"

"No." Bai Ge opened his eyes and picked up the photo: "This black swallowtail is exactly the same as the one I know, this is what she likes to do, after hunting, leave the black swallowtail as a mark... It seems This case has nothing to do with her."

He remembered, albeit only a small part, part of the information about the mysterious 'her'.

In Demon Subduing Division, her code name is Black Swallow Butterfly, and she seems to like this title very much, so she called herself that.

In Bai Ge's memory, he and her have only met three times in five years, and she is stronger and more terrifying each time.

Condensed emotions.

Bai Ge handed the second portfolio to Tachibana Qianxue, and now he wanted to know more and more who she was.

This particular sense of anxiety does not originate from him. Bai Ge thinks that he is very patient in playing games. As long as time permits, he rarely pursues speedrunning. It is his personal style to enjoy the game process, but now he There is a trace of anxiety.

It seems that with the instillation of memory, it also brought some bad things.

Tachibana Chiyuki quickly read through the second file, and the second case made her frown deeply.

"This second case is also surprisingly blurred."

She translated: "One day ago, in the early morning of a high-end apartment complex, a middle-aged man who went out for a morning run found a headless body under the apartment building. The deceased was named Yamazaki Yan, a woman who lived alone. She and The victim of the first case is the same, a half-demon, fire rat hybrid, and a well-known singer in the real world. She was beheaded by the murderer. Through fingerprint comparison, we also confirmed her identity She was also disemboweled and her inner alchemy was taken away...the room is still filled with a lot of blood, and a lot of furniture has also been damaged."

"Wait." Tangerine asked, "Since it's a high-end community, is there no surveillance video?"

He got the point this time, but unfortunately it was nonsense.

"The answer is obvious, either nothing was captured." Bai Ge said lightly, "Either it was destroyed by human beings."

"Nothing was filmed." Tachibana Qianxue flipped through the file: "The night before the incident, the community suffered a power outage due to a fire, and the surveillance system failed to operate normally, and the murderer also committed the crime during this time. "

Bai Ge said unhurriedly: "It shouldn't be that simple, the problem doesn't just lie here."

Tachibana Chiyuki nodded and said, "Yes, the real problem is... this case is a secret room."
