Nanchen originally wanted to go outside with Lin Xiaokai to see what kind of world this is.As a result, not long after he walked, he suddenly felt a piercing pain.

Taking a big step back reflexively, Nan Chen realized that he didn't seem to be able to leave the neighborhood too far.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiaokai looked back in surprise.

"It's okay, I forgot to bring something." Nan Chen smiled and said, "I'll go back."

After Lin Xiaokai walked away, Nan Chen took a closer look around and found nothing strange. It seemed that it was just a rule for their players.

Their living range is completely limited to about 50 meters around the community, and they cannot go anywhere except the supermarket outside the door.

That being the case, Nan Chen simply returned to the community and walked around the boundary of the entire community.

There are a total of six buildings in the community, standing opposite each other.Nan Chen took a closer look and found that most of these buildings were not fully occupied, only about half of the rooms could be seen traces of life.

Among them, the No. [-] building where he is located and the No. [-] building opposite are the ones with the largest number of residents. About two-thirds of them are inhabited.

At present, he only knows one resident in Building No. [-], that is, Lin Xiaokai who lives next door to him. He looks like an otaku. umbrella.

In Building Four, he now knows two.

Qin Zhen, his landlord, lives in 902. She is a kind-hearted and reasonable aunt who cleans the room they prepared for them. She has a grandson at home.

Uncle courier, hardworking and helpful. There is a son who is studying at home and lives in the basement.

As for the other sixteen players, he met quite a few, but the other party didn't seem to be saying hello, so he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to join them.

This is also normal, in Skynet missions, players from other planes are never safe teammates.

Nan Chen propped his chin with one hand, sat in the small pavilion in the garden of the community, observing the people coming and going, trying to find out some suspects.However, after sitting for two hours and passing more than 100 people in front of him, he could not single out a single person.

The neighborhood here is very harmonious and peaceful. Not far from him, a few old people are exercising and chatting, and several other people are playing chess, their voices are very loud.Young people are rushing to go to work, and children are carrying their schoolbags and holding their mother's hand to go to school. Everything is so normal that it cannot be normal.

He looked at it, his eyes gradually became sleepy, and he was thinking about whether to go back to sleep for a while, when suddenly there was a loud pop in his ear.

Nan Chen woke up suddenly, and quickly turned around to look, only to see that the wooden flower stand at the bottom of the No. [-] building not far away had collapsed to the ground at this moment, and vaguely saw a person lying down among the flowers.

There was a sound of exclamation all around. After everyone was shocked, they hurried over there.

Someone shouted loudly: "Someone has fallen, whoever has a phone, please call the police!"

"Call an ambulance! Hurry up!"

"My God, how did it fall? I saw it just now, it seems to be on the twelfth floor..."

While talking, everyone had already run to the collapsed flower stand, and several people walked over carefully, pushing away the scattered branches, flowers and plants on the man's body.

It was a middle-aged man in his 40s, of medium height, and wearing pajamas.

There was a big hole in his head, and blood was all over his body. Nan Chen knew that this man was hopeless after just one look.

"It's Driver Li!" Someone exclaimed.

"Really, it's really him, oh my god, it's too miserable, how could it fall?"

"Could it be suicide?"

"How is it possible? Their relationship is so good, and they have a lovely daughter, how could they commit suicide. I ran into him yesterday and said that they would go on a trip together when the children were on vacation..."

A man in a suit was standing next to the corpse at the moment. Hearing this, he turned his head and glared at the people behind him, and said loudly, "Have you called? Have you called the police? Hurry up and go upstairs to have a look, maybe his little girl is still alive." Didn't go to school!"

"That's right, that's right." Someone responded, and just as he was about to turn around, he saw a little girl running over crying.

"It's Lingling!" The man in a suit immediately hugged the little girl in his arms, blocking her view, and coaxed, "Lingling, don't worry, where's your mother?"

"Uncle Wang," the little girl cried with tears in her big eyes at the moment, "Mom is still at work and hasn't come back."

"Don't worry Lingling." Many people around were comforting, "The ambulance will be here soon."

"Lingling, why did your dad fall?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, woo woo," Li Lingling cried, "Dad was drying clothes on the balcony, and the railing suddenly collapsed... woo woo, it's so scary..."

"It turned out to be an accident..."

"Let me just say, Driver Li couldn't have committed suicide, alas, how pitiful..."

Nan Chen looked up at the balcony on the twelfth floor above.The aluminum alloy railings were twisted outwards, and one end was hanging precariously on the side, as if it had been accidentally snapped off.

He stood outside the crowd, looked at Driver Li on the ground, then at his daughter Lingling and the man in the suit, and then at the crowd around him, his mind gradually became a little confused.

Is this really an accident?It seems to be.

But this happened on the first day they entered the mission, and he instinctively felt that it must be unusual.

His eyes finally fell on Li Lingling.To be honest, if it wasn't for this accident, he seemed to have never paid attention to this little girl.

The ambulance and the police arrived at the Kumho Community almost at the same time.

The doctor examined the body, signed the death certificate, and left quickly.Only two police officers were left to investigate the scene, and the body will be sent to the forensic department for autopsy later.

Nanchen mixed in the crowd, listened to the two policemen questioning Li Lingling carefully, went upstairs to the balcony to check carefully, and finally decided it was an accident.As long as the autopsy results come out, if there is no abnormality, I am afraid the case can be closed.

The crowd gradually dispersed, the body had already been transported away, and Li Lingling's mother rushed back, and went upstairs with her daughter in her arms after being sad.

The surrounding area gradually became empty. Nan Chen glanced at the other players who were obviously confused. After a little balance in his heart, he turned and went back to Building No. [-].

In the elevator room, the middle-aged man in a suit was also waiting for the elevator. He turned his head to look at Nan Chen, and asked in surprise, "Young man, you just moved here?"

Nan Chen nodded, and asked casually, "My name is Nan Chen, and I live on the ninth floor. What's your name for this uncle?"

He just saw this man helping the police clean up the flower stands for a long time, and he heard from the people next to him that he likes to be a volunteer on weekdays, often helping to take care of the flowers and plants in the community, and it is said that he regularly donates blood every three months.

A model citizen.

"My name is Wang Jun, No. 1001 on the tenth floor, just above yours." Wang Jun's demeanor was very gentle, and he greeted Nan Chen gently: "You just came here, if you don't understand anything, just ask Me. I have a lot of tools in my house, so if you need to repair a plumbing, electric light or something, just come to me."

"Okay." Nan Chen silently looked away.

He went back to 902 a little frustrated. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the strong aroma of steamed pork ribs with fermented soybeans. He couldn't help but took a deep breath and suddenly regained his energy.

On the dining table, there is already a table for lunch.

There are not only steamed pork ribs, but also braised fish nuggets and a large bowl of steamed eggs with minced meat, all of which are Nan Chen's favorites.

Nan Chen washed her hands, and just as she sat Xie Xilin to eat, she saw Xiao Hei slowly float in from the window.

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Hei floated directly to Xie Xilin's side and rubbed him affectionately.

Nan Chen snorted coldly, took a bite of the tender and fragrant pork ribs, and asked, "Xiao Hei, how is it outside?"

Xiao Hei floated to a chair and landed, and then began to say: "It's very ordinary, just like the earth, everywhere is peaceful and prosperous."

"However, under Xiao Hei's very serious detection, he made a major discovery!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hei flashed a few flashes of lightning triumphantly, and said loudly: "Xiao Hei discovered that this plane has actually overlapped with another plane!"

"In this world, not only human beings exist, but also a kind of life, those demons!"

Nan Chen didn't understand, "Are you saying that there are actually many demons here?"

"There don't seem to be too many here, and most of the demons live in their own hell planet." Xiao Hei explained to his master: "In fact, the situation here is very similar to the plane where the earth and the plankton are about to start. The two planes After the barriers between the world disappeared, the demons living on Hell Star can now communicate freely with the humans here, but humans don’t know it.”

"The human world today feels like a playground for demons. They keep these humans in captivity. They come to play when they are happy, and invite human Skynet players to come and play together if they feel bored."

"The demons are restricting the development of this world, and human technology lags behind at least 50 years. Unfortunately, the human beings in this world are too weak, so they can only be obedient." After Xiao Hei finished speaking, a lightning bolt struck over triumphantly, successfully The ribs in Nan Chen's hand were burnt.

Nan Chen sensed his numb fingers, and looked at Xiao Hei in surprise, "Your lightning can attack now?"

"Of course!" Xiao Hei floated up: "I will show you the lightning after I grow up later, it will definitely scare the master to death! Hmph, I told you before that it is definitely worthwhile to upgrade me, right!"

"It's a good deal." Nan Chen was really pleasantly surprised. If Xiao Hei had so many lightning bolts, if it really got bigger, the attack range would be super cool.

And Xiao Hei really brought back some useful news this time.

Nan Chen looked at Xie Xilin, and roughly talked about his experience today, and finally concluded with some headaches: "In short, the people here seem to be really kind, and I don't feel any malice at all, let alone anything One could be a demon."

"However," Nan Chen thought for a while, "at least there is an internet in this world. Although you can't leave this community, you can check it out through the internet."

"En." Xie Xilin agreed, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "About the previous accident of falling from the building, Nineteen, you should check carefully."

"Okay." Nineteen replied.

"You also think there is something wrong with that little girl, don't you?" Nan Chen said in a low voice, "I also thought at the time that she seemed to be more scared and not very sad."

That afternoon, Nan Chen didn't go out again, but went through the information of all the residents in the entire community together with Shijiu.

Lin Xiaokai next door is a freelance writer. He has been living in Jinhu Community since graduating from university. He usually lives alone without a girlfriend.

Upstairs, Wang Jun works in a bank and basically does volunteer work on weekends. His wife is a full-time housewife, and there is also a daughter at home who is preparing for college entrance examination, and her grades seem to be good.

And the female resident on the third floor who always likes to let people take out the garbage, although she has all kinds of minor problems, is a citizen lawyer who specializes in helping women who have been unfairly treated for free to file divorce lawsuits. She works overtime almost every night to midnight.

Their landlord, Qin Zhen, has retired and used to be a nurse. She is currently living with her son and daughter-in-law, helping to take care of her grandson on weekdays.

And the courier uncle that Nanchen met before moved to the community this year. His customer evaluation is very high, and he is the only five-star courier in the unit.There is a son in his family who is only in elementary school, and his wife usually works outside the home.

As for the driver Li who fell to his death in an accident today, after reading the information, Nan Chen found out that Li Lingling was an orphan adopted by their husband and wife from the orphanage a year ago.

Nan Chen thought of Li Lingling's performance today, and only then did she understand why Li Lingling was not so sad.After all, it's only been more than a year, and the relationship may not be very deep.

So they searched all afternoon, but they couldn't find a single candidate.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a blank whiteboard suddenly appeared in front of every human player.

Nan Chen stared at the whiteboard irritably, and then saw some names slowly appearing on it.He was a little surprised to find that the names of Qin Zhen, Lin Xiaokai and the express uncle were all among them.

"Who should I write about?" Nan Chen hesitated.

"Li Lingling and Wang Jun." Xie Xilin said.

After 10 minutes, the names of eighteen candidate demons appeared on the whiteboard.

On the first day, everyone seemed to unanimously choose as many candidates as possible.

At this time, a line of words slowly appeared on the top of the whiteboard: Please choose the person you think is most likely to be a demon.

Nan Chen thought for a while, and finally ticked off Wang Jun's name.

This person really likes to do good deeds so much, maybe he is a devil in disguise?

Xie Xilin glanced at Nan Chen, and chose Wang Jun casually.

However, it was Qin Zhen who got the most votes in the end.

This was completely beyond Nan Chen's expectations. To be honest, he had a good impression of Qin Zhen before, but he never expected so many people to choose her...

Next, the players began to wait anxiously for the answer to the verdict.

The night passed extremely slowly. Nan Chen walked around the room irritably. She couldn't help but sit beside Xie Xilin and asked in a low voice, "Do you think we can guess it right once?"

Xie Xilin thought for a while and said, "The probability is close to zero."

"Then will we die?" Nan Chen felt a little uneasy. After all, he and Xie Xilin had a 1/18 or even 1/9 chance of dying on the first night of this mission...

"No." Xie Xilin patted his head.

"why?"

"Because," Xie Xilin smiled suddenly, and said softly, "It missed the whole day, and now it can't kill us anymore."
