Netherworld Investigator

In the atmosphere of terror, it is not too difficult to decide to prove the truth through self-destruction, but what if this is a dream?

Here, everything you can’t ask for will be owned, everything you can’t let go will come back, life and death can be reunited, and death will be redefined...

The reason why dreams are disappointing is that they are fleeting, and that they are bound to be lost in reality.But what if we could be allowed to sleep forever in the illusion of love and beauty?

Dawn is approaching, and there is no light outside the window.

In the bedroom, the bud-shaped scented candle hides the whole spring, and outlines the ambiguous edge of the two people's entangled shadows all night.Qiao Kejun firmly clasped the man's wrist, and pressed the **** body that was steamed crimson by desire onto the window sill.The panting of hot flashes made the cool and slippery glass mist, covering the face immersed in pleasure like a veil.

At the most instinctive moment, Qiao Kejun suddenly heard a wrong note, tearing the whole movement to pieces.A strange feeling was suddenly triggered by a secret nerve, and the strangeness that suddenly rushed to his heart almost wiped out his desire.

He was keenly aware that some indescribable thing was dormant in a corner he had never been aware of, watching him nervously.

"What's wrong?" In the misty reflection of the water, Wen Baifan blinked his wet eyes lightly, and stared at him directly under the refraction of light and shadow.

A string of flickering codes flashed across the pupils that were slightly shallower than ordinary people.

Outside the window behind him, the first rays of dawn rose far away, painting the horizon with rosy clouds.

Qiao Kejun's heart trembled, and he suddenly heard the sound of the cloth covering his love being torn apart.

He stopped and took a step back in shock.

"What's wrong?" Wen Baifan asked again.

Qiao Kejun finally knew what was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Wen Baifan asked for the third time, his expression and speed of speaking were exactly the same as before.

In this way, "Wen Baifan" is the product of a preset program.His every move, every word and deed is like a mirror image, reflecting the softness and fear deep in Qiao Kejun's heart.He is an intelligent image with superb imitation and comprehension abilities. He is a perfect lonely world created by Qiao Kejun himself, but he is not a real person.

Qiao Kejun fell into hesitation.

He was sure that he was still trapped in the endless cycle of dreams, but he was faced with such a problem: Maybe in the world he was about to return to, Wen Baifan never existed, but the world Wen Baifan existed was from beginning to end. It was always his hallucination.

Returning to reality means having to take the risk of losing your loved one.

"Are you leaving me?" In the dream, Wen Baifan's face was as pale as paper, silently and stubbornly holding him back, "This can be a world without pain, as long as you are willing. Love is just a concept, it can come Then, why can’t it be me? It is true that I am not born with feelings, but the hypocritical and cruel routines of human beings are no less than cold machines. Compared with them, I am actually warmer.”

The face of that "Wen Baifan" appropriately showed the intertwined emotions of pain and reluctance. He was casually wrapped in a white bathrobe with the neckline slightly open, showing off his attractive body intentionally or unintentionally.He muttered to himself impatiently, and seemed to be trying to convince the other party with a kind of restless sincerity.

"The person you love is just a moment, a state. He is also in the process of endless changes, and finally becomes unrecognizable. One day, when you look at him, you will also be like the first Seeing the code through my eyes for the first time, I feel endless astonishment and loss. Human beings love each other in their imagination, and once the imagination is shattered, they will be separated."

"The loss of love is inevitable, and the distance between two independent individuals is irreversible. But I won't, I won't part ways with you, because I am your wheel, and we can live together forever The stillness of rapid change. As long as you stay, you can make your love live forever."

"You don't even have to worry that this kind of love will be boring. Once I sense your indifference and fatigue, I can create an unexpected quarrel that can heat up the relationship. Without the risk of separation, we can enjoy the misunderstandings and conflicts. Psychological stimulation is like some kind of sadomasochism game in moderation. As long as you stay, I can provide enough comfort and companionship to support you for the rest of your life.

Qiao Kejun stepped forward, hugged him, and gently brushed away his broken hair that was stuck to his forehead with sweat.

The blood on his face heated up inch by inch.

The morning light is quiet and beautiful, and the clouds in the sky are white and thick, and even if there is no wind, they slowly change their shapes.The trees outside the window are lush and lush, perhaps dazzled by the sun, the buds tremble slightly, and a leaf swirls and falls slowly.

A figure fell rapidly from the window sill and landed heavily on the hot soil.

In the illusion cabin, Qiao Kejun suddenly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" Ethan sat aside with a smile, "You lost."

Qiao Kejun lay back on the chair, his eyes were a little straight, and his breathing was slightly rapid.

"I woke up long before you." Ethan crossed his legs, and placed his fingers gracefully in front of his knees, "According to the bet..."

Qiao Kejun suddenly smiled and interrupted him, "No, you lost."

Ethan was taken aback.In an instant, the fog in front of his eyes began to dissipate, and Qiao Kejun's face became blurred, and then became clear again.

The two still sat and lay down.

"Are you awake?" Qiao Kejun unhurriedly removed the pulse clip on his finger, and returned the words intact, "You lost."

"Well, I did lose." Ethan was silent for a moment before letting out a breath.The illusion of the last level is the most difficult to see through. It is composed of the most urgent desire in the player's heart, and people can't help but indulge in it.He shook his head, his annoyed expression showed a bit of childishness, "I actually lost."

Ethan is so obsessed with winning, but his attitude towards failure is unexpectedly free and easy, which makes people feel a little better about him.It's the spirit of the game that's really frankly endearing.

Qiao Kejun looked around, the huge Tianguang hall was extremely silent, the people who entered the game hadn't woken up yet, and the people who wandered outside were arranged to have an outdoor party on the terrace, and through the glass, countless figures intertwined with cups of wine swayed silently.

Qiao Kejun spit out four words lightly: "According to the bet."

"Yes, the bet." Ethan shrugged and smiled, "According to the agreement between me and another Mr. Joe, if I lose, I will not continue to cooperate with them. To be honest, I don't want their plan to come true, after all, in One day in the future, I want to compete with you again."

"Their plan..."

"The nave of the church, the word comes from the ship navis. This is because in ancient churches, the structure of the nave roof and the bottom of the ship are exactly the same." Ethan did not answer directly, he pointed to the glass dome , Speaking of words that seem to have no connection. "When Noah's Ark is built, God will start to send a flood to cleanse the world."

After finishing speaking, Ethan suddenly made a fist with his left hand, raised his little finger and index finger like a horn, blinked his right eye lightly, and made a "chummy" gesture, "Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, I'm coming to Chaocheng this time , and one more important thing... I have to change my clothes first, and I must not die when I meet a netizen for the first time... Oops, I seem to have exposed too much!"

Qiao Kejun pushed open the gate of the venue and came to the spacious terrace. At the reception, many celebrities quietly cast eyeballs on him, and whispered to each other about this person's background.

Under the open or covert gaze of the crowd, Zhou Wentao walked straight towards him, passing him by as if inadvertently, "Follow me."

"Where are you going?" Qiao Kejun subconsciously turned his toes in the direction of Zhou Wentao's back, although he had doubts.

Zhou Wentao quickly glanced around, and whispered a place.

Qiao Kejun breathed a sigh of relief and followed him silently.

The structure of the top floor of the Tower of Light is exactly the same as the underground labyrinth of the experimental factory on the outskirts of the Science City, with twists and turns and many obstacles.

Standing in front of a familiar room at the end of the corridor, Qiao Kejun raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure Wen Yue is in there?"

"Mr. Z plans to make a big move today, so I know the existence of this place." Zhou Wentao said, "I heard that no one else was allowed to approach this place in the past. Here comes the void."

"This door seems to need a password." This is the room where he and Wen Baifan tried to break into not long ago. Although they cracked the password, they were still conspired by the agency and stopped in front of the door.

"This is a door that can only be opened from the inside. The person in the room is the only key, and the password itself is just a trick." Zhou Wentao stretched out his hand to push the door open, and said slowly, "It's a trap."

Qiao Kejun hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.

The door was slowly closed behind him.

The structure of this room is just as She Fengwu once described, with only four walls and a bed of unknown material in the middle, on which a man lies on his back.

The man sat up slowly, looked back at Qiao Kejun, and said with a half-smile: "Long time no see."

"Dean Shen." Qiao Kejun nodded, as if he was not at all surprised that it was Shen Siyuan who appeared here instead of Wen Yue.

"You are still the same, Mount Tai collapsed in front of you without changing your color." Shen Siyuan laughed, and a trace of unconcealable admiration flashed in his eyes, "It's a pity, if you could accept my arrangement back then, the Noah Project might have survived." Get it done early."

The world is like a huge pyramid, which was originally the product of the will of ancient gods.But as time went by, this group of mysterious forces with no support gradually lost their supremacy and were gradually replaced by arrogant and ignorant human beings.And the original ruler of this land, let's call it "Sauros".

The descendants of Sauros inherited its powers and scattered all over the world. However, due to the scarcity of their numbers, some of these powers formed alliances with some humans, and some of them hid in the world without names.As time goes by, they gradually feel that they are no different from ordinary humans.

"They fell asleep, and someone must wake them up." Shen Siyuan smiled, "In comparison, those self-righteous leaders among human beings are nothing more than ants, let them immerse themselves in a cocoon-bound dreamland Bar."

Sauros has always existed, but its power will fluctuate with the changes in the energy of the universe. It takes 300 years as a cycle, sometimes high, then suddenly declines, gradually declines, and then reappears.But for Sauros to truly return to the world, there are two necessary conditions, that is, an immortal and powerful body, and a group of blindly loyal believers.

In the age when crime spread, the "hand of god" is the existence closest to the gods.It is not so much a person as a gigantic statue of a hero, a symbol of omnipotence.His indestructible hands are shaped by countless invisible hands, which ignite human panic and passion, and carry human prayer and longing.It conveys such a signal: justice will fall from the sky, and the monstrous flood can wash away every inch of dirty land in the world.

The world is a huge conspiracy, light and shadow create suspicious images, words and sounds are full of logical traps, every strand of air we breathe is filled with obedient formulas, every inch of our perception is Fate manipulates us like threads of a puppet.

Wen's lineage was originally the best tool. They possessed extremely strong vitality. In the age of Sauros' weakness, they could gather people's hearts and energy, and when Sauros needed to reappear in the world, they were the best carrier to seize the body .

There is only one thing, this kind of encroachment can only happen when the power of the intruder is at its peak and the will of the bearer is gone.

During the year Wen Baifan was in college, a major event that was closely related to him happened, even though he himself knew nothing about it.

At that time, after ten years of sleepy mental sinking, Wen Yue had drained the last bit of his personal consciousness, so Zhao Ming judged that it was an excellent time to parasitize Sauros, whose power had reached its peak state at that time.

Only that time, he failed.

Sauros' soul has thousands of years of time and memory, and invading Wen Yue's body at once is like squeezing too large and complex data, paralyzing the unbearable system in an instant.It was trapped in that body, and the instrument could detect a drastic change in the energy in Wen Yue's body, but he never woke up again.

This may be the reason why Wen Baifan was finally able to break free from the nightmare of his youth and never plunged into the abyss since then.

But Zhao Ming never gave up his vision of resurrecting Sauros, and this time, he found Shen Siyuan to form an alliance.

Shen Siyuan is an ordinary human being who has entered the aging stage, but he has an ardent desire for immortality and power that ordinary people cannot match.This ambitious appearance often makes people forget his real age, but only Shen Siyuan knows that his senses have begun to degenerate, his limbs have become weak, and the pulse that used to throb with desire and happiness has slowed down. He is haunted by the temptation of his youthful memories, but he has to bear with his body decaying into an ugly puppet.

"I guessed it a long time ago. Mr. Ethan won't be able to keep him. He does things too rashly and for his own sake. People who are too smart are hard to handle." Shen Siyuan said to himself, and then cast a glance at Qiao Kejun. "But don't get me wrong, his withdrawal didn't have any impact on our plan. We only needed him to design this game. Mr. Zhao knew very well from the beginning that you are the one with the most outstanding mental power supernatural beings."

Qiao Kejun nodded: "Not bad."

Shen Siyuan couldn't help laughing: "You are not the same as before, did that child from the Wen family change you?"

Qiao Ke was noncommittal.

"It's a pity..." Shen Siyuan showed a meaningful smile, "Prome is indeed an amazing idea. By attaching to weakened cells, instilling self-destructive information into them, the power of the parasite and the host can be completely eliminated. He grows up and iterates endlessly until the original cells are completely digested and nothing remains. I prefer to believe that this is a signal that the gods have preset for themselves in your mind...Mr. Zhao originally did not approve of this This approach, but fortunately, he changed his mind in the end."

Qiao Kejun seemed to have understood his implication suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he was about to leave.

The moment he turned around, the black muzzle of the gun touched his forehead.

Qiao Kejun looked coldly at Zhou Wentao who stood in front of him.

"Sorry." Zhou Wentao avoided his gaze and said in a low voice.

Shen Siyuan laughed, and explained: "After all, I offered a bargaining chip that he couldn't refuse."

Turn the clock back to a certain day in January.

A car drove into the gate of Yidian Biotechnology Park and stopped in front of the electric barrier.The car window on the side of the back seat near the security booth slowly lowered, revealing Shen Siyuan's kind face, and the security guards on guard quickly saluted and let him pass.

Passing through the gates one after another with ease, Shen Siyuan stepped into a white building towering on the middle of the mountain.

"Those prisoners who were sanctioned by the hand of God were eventually imprisoned in this place and became the subjects of human experiments." Shen Siyuan said to Zhou Wentao who followed behind him, "What they did once made the world full of crime and evil. Shadows, and what we do will give them a chance at redemption."

He entered the elevator with Zhou Wentao, went up to the seventh floor, and a laboratory with nearly [-] square meters suddenly appeared in front of him.The researchers here are working hard to create a dream mist that paralyzes the nerves and leads to blind joy, so as to alleviate the panic and anxiety that permeates the society.Once this gas is inhaled, even people who are born with violent factors in their genes will become docile like lambs.

"Of course, these are just a part of Noah's plan." Shen Siyuan cast a secretive look at Zhou Wentao, "The resurrection of dead souls is something truly worth fighting for."

Get back to the present.

Qiao Kejun suddenly let out a chuckle: "Do you know what the villains in the world have in common?"

"Can't beat justice?" Shen Siyuan scoffed at this cliché, "I only know that justice is defined by the winner."

"No." Qiao Kejun shook his head and sighed slightly, "It's a lot of talking."

In the pitch-black room, in front of the glowing monitor, Zhao Ming suddenly stood up.

Damn, this old idiot, agreed to let him lure Qiao Kejun to the secret room and control his actions, what the hell is he doing now!

Zhao Ming picked up the phone impatiently and dialed Shen Siyuan's number.The busy tone came from the microphone, and he suddenly remembered that in order to prevent the guests participating in the reception from contacting the outside world without authorization, the communication signals above the Tianguang Hall were artificially blocked.

He cut off the phone and rushed out the door like a whirlwind.

It turned out that on the monitor's electronic screen, the person standing opposite Shen Siyuan was not Qiao Kejun, but Qiao Hengjing.

And from an angle that Shen Siyuan couldn't see, Qiao Hengjing and Zhou Wentao quickly exchanged glances.

"A little trick." Qiao Kejun pointed his temples with both fingers together, and waved lightly into the air, implying that creating instant hallucinations is also a kind of his superpower. "You can't fool electronic eyes, but you can fool people's eyes in a short time."

That day, Qiao Kejun relied on this "little trick" to bring Wen Baifan, who was determined to go his own way and commit danger, away from the Guangming Tower.

As early as the day they met on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Wentao and Qiao Kejun had secretly reached a consensus.

"I'm a little surprised that you would choose not to cooperate with Dean Shen." Qiao Kejun pursed his lips, hesitating, "After all, I thought..."

"Yes, Xiaohang's death is indeed my biggest knot." Zhou Wentao smiled bitterly, and said slowly, "Because of this, I can't bear his rebirth in this way."

A scene he thought he had long forgotten appeared in his mind.

It was a long time ago, on a dreary summer afternoon, in a shady corner of the Xianda Library.He quietly approached behind Fang Qihang, and his tall figure gradually stained the edge of the page.

The pen tip made a rustling sound, and Fang Qihang recognized his lover's shadow on the paper at a glance. He closed the notebook and turned his head slightly.

The scene of looking back was like a shadow that was suddenly pulled out from the high wall of memory. Zhou Wentao found that he could still recall the tiny light of joy that flashed in Fang Qihang's eyes at that moment.

Even though there were so many unbearable things later, at that moment, love really existed.

In a glimpse, Zhou Wentao remembered a sentence that the man was copying in the notebook: Actually, the word "forever" has no meaning. The only difference between capricious and eternal love is that the former lasts longer than the latter.

"Recently, I re-read what he had written, and I realized that I never knew him." Zhou Wentao was immersed in memories, and he had long forgotten the existence of Qiao Kejun beside him. The voice became softer and softer, as if afraid of disturbing a quiet ghost somewhere, "The special thing is not me, nor him, but our intertwined destiny, which cannot be redeemed or repeated."

Human beings derive their meaning from social relations.He is not only a mixture of flesh and blood, not only face, voice and body, but exists in cause and effect, encounter and memory, he exists in his destiny, and without any part of it, he will no longer be complete.

"It's a wonderful vision to bring him back to life and stay by my side forever, but I must not make him come true." Zhou Wentao suddenly let out a chuckle, his eyes turned from confusion to firmness.He would rather live with the pain of loss throughout his life, because living with this pain is also a form of living with a loved one. "He has already lived in my body, where will he be reborn? If he is reborn, then who will live in my heart at this moment?"

Zhao Ming pushed open the door panting, checked the person lying in the cabin with his eyes closed, he was relieved at first, but then, he frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized something, his expression Suddenly changed.

He was tricked and exposed.

In another unoccupied room, Qiao Kejun stood in front of the mind signal enhancement device, watching the red dot slowly move from the monitoring room to the Tianguang Hall, and finally stopped at a certain coordinate network in the venue, he ticked slightly The corners of his mouth curled up.

If you guessed right, this is Wen Yue's real hiding place at the moment.

The author has something to say:

The author has something to say for the first time, and I don't know if there will be a second time.

The time to save this chapter is July [-]st.

If there is no accident, the system should help me send it out on July [-]th.

I don't know if I am still as depressed as I am at this moment when you read this passage.

Three more chapters to go before this story is over and I'm back to my real shitty and tired life.

During the period of writing this novel, my overall mental state was not very good. Fortunately, I still had the desire to write something, which allowed me to sort myself out slowly.

Thank you I finally persevered.

I also thank every friend who has left a message, so that I did not completely become an island.
