The young man swallowed silently, and took a special look at the other party. He still had an innocent expression and spread his hands.

"Tell me, why did you come in this time?"

"Would you believe me if I said I happened to see a murderer throwing a corpse?"

Li Dui and the police officer next to him looked at each other, with serious expressions, and asked sharply, "It's best to explain the matter exactly, be frank and be lenient and resist strictness. I advise you not to be clever."

Bai Ge looked at the other party helplessly, and said aggrievedly, "Don't, I really have nothing to do with the murderer. It's just a passing fisherman. I heard that there are mermaids in the Zhuojiang River, so I came here to try it in the middle of the night. I was lucky. As a result, I just witnessed the suspect’s clumsy and unfamiliar process of throwing the body. I really couldn’t stand it. I wanted to teach him how to kill and throw the body correctly, but this guy didn’t know good people. He would rather swim back than fuck me. ship."

"You still dare to speak hard, don't you?"

The hot-tempered Captain Li patted the table, and suddenly raised his voice, "Come on, tell me, which good man would teach others to kill and throw away corpses?"

Bai Ge argued innocently, "Does a good person like me count?"

"Are you a good person? Then you explain to me why you carry a few iron forks and boning knives in your bag? You bring these things and tell me you want to fish for mermaids?"

"Yup."

Bai Ge said with serious eyes, "Isn't it normal to catch mermaids and make sashimi?"

"Shut up, do you think our people's police will believe your nonsense?"

Li Dui wanted to continue to say something, but the phone rang suddenly, he answered the phone, then his face turned livid, he hung up the phone after a minute of silence, closed the notebook in his hand, waved his hand and said, " Let go, you can go."

"But Team Li..."

"The criminal suspect next door confessed just now, and it has nothing to do with this guy. And the higher-ups said that from now on, this case will not be under our control."

The young man who followed beside him wanted to say something, but after seeing the gloomy expression on the criminal investigation captain's face, he shut his mouth wisely.

"You go out and sign a non-disclosure agreement and you can leave."

Bai Ge rubbed his wrists, said hello and walked out of the interrogation room openly.The criminal investigation captain standing behind suddenly stopped Bai Ge, looked at him complicatedly, and hesitated to speak, "Also, who are you...?"

"I?"

Bai Ge stopped in his tracks without looking back, and said with a chuckle, "I'm just an ordinary fisherman from the Air Force."

After leaving the police station, Bai Ge took the bus back to the place where he stayed. After a night of heavy rain, it finally stopped at four or five o'clock in the morning, and the whole city was plunged into the darkness of mist and silence.

This dilapidated house inherited from his parents became Baige's only foothold. He made a cup of coffee, stood on the balcony, stared blankly at the silhouette in the distance in the dark, held the railing tightly with both hands, and clicked on the system interface .

This is a game that cannot be deleted and exited, and there is no flood of studios.

In other words, he was forced to join the one-life game.

Personal tasks, single copy, team copy, multiplayer copy.

As the level increases, the difficulty of the task will continue to increase, and the different positions, the task types will be different, and it will also bring different risks and rewards.

And now Baige is still in the novice protection period, so there will be no situation where he cannot complete the task.

Seeing this, he fell into deep thought, quickly digesting the information he had obtained so far in his mind.

If the evolution game will eventually affect or even interfere with the direction of civilization development, then from the random selection of players in the evolution game, the state machine may have already begun to collect intelligence, form a special agency, and acquire more information to take corresponding measures.Or start screening potential players.

And once the player is discovered, the ending is to either join the official organization, and those who are unwilling to cooperate may be restricted in freedom, and the more terrifying ending is to obliterate all unstable factors.

And the torrent of the times swept past silently, and began to forcibly push everyone, and even the entire civilization, forward.

Complete dungeon tasks, get rewards, and increase experience points.

Could it be that in the end it was proving the way and conferring the gods?

Bai Ge raised the corner of his mouth.

interesting.

…………

Several police cars set up a cordon on the side of the river, but the investigation and filming personnel of the Criminal Investigation Division stood outside the cordon, as if they had nothing to do.

A group of guys in white chemical protective suits and masks stepped on the wet water plants in leather shoes, taking photos and collecting on-site information like criminal investigators.

After a whole night of salvage, the corpses floating in the river and hanging in the grass were dragged ashore. After sorting and screening, a total of 23 corpses were recovered, as well as a monster that looked like a fish and a man without half of its head. .

The assistant is reporting the results of the investigation to the section chief, "The witnesses have already investigated, one is the murderer who happened to dump the body, and the other is an unlucky fisherman, and a background investigation has also been done. From his actions in the last week Looking at it, there is no problem. Judging from the situation at the scene, this incident should be a strange incident with a low degree of danger, not like a hunter player on a mission."

The assistant glanced at the bloody corpse and said, "After all, the method of using torpedoes to fry fish is too low-level. For players, monsters of this level will not be so big that we will notice them."

"Yes."

The section chief rubbed his forehead, the endless weird incidents made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

One of them came over with a glass test tube in his hand, which contained some human tissue samples. He said with a serious expression, "Chief, I feel that there is something wrong with these corpses."

"something wrong?"

The middle-aged man known as the section chief had gray sideburns and a serious face, and said, "What's the problem?"

The investigators handed him a stack of photos, pointing to the details on them, and said, "These floating and swollen corpses all have traces of organ removal or forcible stitching. Including the corpse of the salamander monster with a human head."

Hearing these words, the section chief frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart, "You mean..."

"I feel that these ghost things are like defective products eliminated in some kind of artificially unknown experiment."

"in other words."

The investigator's tone suddenly became serious, "These people feel like abandoned living experimental subjects. I think this case needs to be investigated seriously."

The section chief rubbed his head and said in a low voice, "Recently, I have stepped up my guard. I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition that something might go wrong."

"By the way, do you have any clues about the frequent disappearances in the old city recently?"

The investigators froze for a moment, then shook their heads silently, "The area over there is still under investigation. It's strange that we can't find any clues about the victims. The official side has not received any task from the system."

"Forget it, the most urgent thing is to deal with the matter in Yaotai Town. At this juncture, absolutely nothing can go wrong."

Chapter 5 Folklore Research Association

Ding ding ding.

Early in the morning, Bai Ge was woken up by the notification of the mobile phone, rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up and glanced at the mobile phone number, became energetic in an instant, and stood up from the bed suddenly.

The message sent by a virtual number in the message column is only a short sentence.

[Express delivery, new clues]

The walls of Baige are covered with paper-cuts of various news reports, reports about the disaster in Yaotai Town, Baige’s parents mysteriously disappeared in this disaster, and the official report is a mudslide disaster, missing The number of people is 860.

Only Baige knew that it was definitely not a geological disaster. In the last tens of seconds before the disaster, he was still in video chat with his parents.

Then came a blinding ray of light that covered everything.

He didn't believe the official reports and began to check the truth from various channels.

However, within a five-kilometer radius around Yaotai Town, it was included in the military restricted zone, and no one was allowed to approach it.

In desperation, Bai Ge had no choice but to list the "Broker" who got into the relationship through introduction as a source of information for long-term cooperation.

[Broker] will provide information to Baige from time to time, and Baige will organize all the pieces of the puzzle into order.

Five minutes later, the courier knocked on the door. He stood in front of him holding a box and asked, "Is this Mr. Bai? Here is your courier."

Bai Ge signed his name, took the express box and turned back to the house.

With restless curiosity, he opened the express box, which contained an old copper spoon and a letter.

Seeing the name on the letter, Bai Ge shook his hands with a shocked look on his expression.

This is clearly my father's handwriting.However, both parents died in the tragedy in Yaotai Town, Xuzhou. Who sent this box?

There is only one line written on the letter, No. 45 Lin'an Street, take good care of the contents inside.

He really wanted to ask [Broker] where did he get the information, but the mysterious [Broker] has always maintained a single line of contact and is only responsible for providing information. It is almost impossible to contact the other party.

Bai Ge had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed the copper key and went out.

As soon as the front foot went out, the phone vibrated.Bai Ge picked up the phone, and his friend Alai sent him a message, asking if he was free now, hoping to come to his home.

The anxious Bai Ge found any reason to refuse, stopped the taxi and reported the address on the envelope to the driver.

Most of the drivers showed embarrassment when they heard Lin'an Street, and shook their heads to express their unwillingness to go there. In the end, because Bai Ge gritted his teeth and raised the fare by 50 yuan, someone finally reluctantly agreed.

The taxi stopped in front of an old alley. This area is far away from the city center. The buildings on all sides are all red brick exposed walls. Part of the concrete floor is exposed to potholes and gravel, and there is a layer of accumulated rotten leaves and oil film. Water, people should be wary and step on it carefully.

There are few people along the way, as if yesterday's heavy rain washed away all remaining traces.Most of the gates on both sides of the alley are closed and deserted for a long time.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and there were only a few street lamps that were still flickering in the deep alley. Most of them were in disrepair, and the lampshades were broken, revealing the wires inside.

Even the taxi driver couldn't help lowering the window, and reminded a few words out of curiosity, "Young man, what are you doing here? No one has lived here for a long time. Maybe there are still a few elderly families with handicapped legs living in the alley. , and all the rest moved away.”

"and……"

The driver poked his head out and said in a low voice, "I heard that this place... is haunted."

"Haunted?"

"Yes, there is an urban legend circulating here. I heard that someone once saw a woman in white clothes in an alley, and those who followed her would disappear inexplicably. Young man, be careful at this late hour."

"Master, I'll give you a little more tip, you take it."

When the driver heard this, he said embarrassedly, "Oh, you are too polite, give me a tip."

"Actually, it's not much, just [-] million."

"Oh, one hundred million, what? One hundred million?"

The taxi driver's heart skipped a beat, and a tingling feeling of ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

He hurriedly lowered his head, and among the wad of money that was handed to him just now, there was actually a Ming coin from Tiandi General Bank mixed in!He was so scared that he immediately let go, and Mingbi wobbled and fell on the driver's seat.

When he raised his head again, the young man with a strange expression on his mouth was waving his hands, and his figure slowly disappeared into the shadow of the dark alley.

"Could it be..."

The corner of the driver's mouth twitched. He was overwhelmed by the horror just now, and didn't dare to think about it. He was so frightened that he immediately stepped on the accelerator, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and ran away.

On the Xuzhou Post Bar forum that night, another urban legend about a ghost riding a car was born...

With a flashlight, Bai Ge found the old and dilapidated house number 45 in the dark alley. It was an old-fashioned house, and the threshold was covered with many yellowed and withered creepers.The tawny wall skin was peeling off, and there was an old and shaken door plate hanging on the exposed red brick wall.

【Folklore Research Association】

Bai Ge cautiously walked around the wall. This mansion does not look like a living person living in fireworks. There is a withered old locust tree behind the Folklore Research Association. It always feels like there is a pair of eyes watching him in the dark.
