don't you have a wife of your own

Death in the game is not painful, maybe it has something to do with NC not choosing a cruel way of death.Xia Youjie felt his eyes go dark, and was thrown back to the game hall in a daze.

The tip of the nose seemed to still have the fishy and sweet smell on the lips of the other party. Xia Youjie took off his helmet and subconsciously rushed to the toilet to wash his face.He turned on the faucet and poured a handful of cold water on his face. The stimulation of the temperature made his drowsy mind a little clearer.

After closing his eyes and waiting for the drops of water on his eyelashes to drip, Xia Youjie slowly opened his eyelids.

His wet face was reflected in the mirror, and a few strands of black forehead hair were wet and stuck to his cheeks and cheekbones.Xia Youjie blinked, and the person in the mirror blinked too—for some reason, he remembered the tactile sensation of NC gently touching his throat in the game.

Hot, yet soft.

Swallowing unconsciously, he watched the teenager's obvious Adam's apple slide up and down in the mirror.Immediately, Xia Youjie belatedly raised his hand to cover half of his cheek, and the tips of his ears gradually turned red.

The water warmed by human temperature slowly dripped onto the sink along the line of the boy's sharp jaw.

At this time, his mobile phone on the table vibrated, showing unread messages.Xia Youjie pulled off the dry towel and wiped his face, then turned and left the bathroom to look at the phone on the table.

The above unread is a message pushed from game a.

Xia Youjie opened the message and found that it was a video storage notification; although Xia Youjie died quickly in the last episode, the clues and pre-plots were basically finished. The game defaulted that he had completed a weekly episode. Zhoumu has been stored and digitized.

Even if the weekly game that has been digitized is read again to make different new choices, it will only generate the second weekly game, and cannot cover the first weekly game.

The completed first episode will become an independent space-time memory. The dead people and the completed plot can never be changed.

This setting is not only the charm of this game, but also the knife point that makes countless players cry crazily at the unchangeable time and space memory.

Looking at the video storage notification in the background, Xia Youjie lay on the bed and hesitated for a while, then clicked to start playing.

Entering the game experience by himself is completely different from watching the video of him running the game. When running the game, his mind is full of how to find more clues, but when watching the video, his eyes stop more at He Chuanyuejian body.

At the end of a week's play, Xia Youjie rubbed his sore eyelids, and thought of 'do another set' again.He put on the game helmet again and connected to the game hall.

[In the ■■ Aquarium, a vile social case of killing and throwing corpses occurred.The case happened very strangely, full of unreasonable places.The investigators accepted the guidance of fate and came to this aquarium to conduct investigations. 】

[Next, please choose your identity:]

[a: An ordinary dk, who was invited by Saeko, the ambiguous object, to go to the aquarium for a date]

[b: Part-time volunteers who came to the aquarium on the first day]

[c: A trainee policeman who went to the aquarium with his seniors to investigate after receiving the police order]

[Reminder: Interventions of different identities have varying degrees of influence on the plot, investigators are requested to choose carefully and file in time~]

[You have chosen your identity: a trainee policeman who has received the police order and went to the aquarium with your seniors to investigate]

[Scene importing...]

[Scene imported successfully. 】

[In order to improve the investigator's sense of substitution, all dice judgment results in the game are defaulted to dark dice. 】

【Wish you a happy game~】

The blue background of the game hall in front of him dissipated, and Xia Youjie heard loud noises.He turned his head and happened to see his own reflection in the automatic glass door—although his identity had changed, his character data hadn't changed, the only thing that had changed was his appearance.

According to the identity chosen by the player, the game adjusted Xia Youjie's facial features to be more mature.But the height has not been changed for him, it may be in the game settings, adult men over 1.8 meters do not need to modify the settings.

Raising his hand to straighten his dark blue police uniform, Xia Youjie looked around and found that the location where he entered the game this time was directly refreshed inside the aquarium.But not in the crocodile house, but in the passage of the underwater world - besides him, there are many other police officers walking around.

Xia Youjie's height stood out even among the police officers, and he could almost look down on everyone's heads easily.

"Summer Oil—"

A call came from not far away, and Xia Youjie walked towards the speaker.

The man who greeted him was wearing a police uniform slightly different from ordinary police officers. Seeing Xia Youjie approaching, he took off his blood-stained gloves and said, "I've already checked the body in the locker room. The initial fatal injury should have been a slash on the back of the head, and it was preliminarily judged that the murder weapon should be a tool ax or something like that."

"The open wound on the deceased's body was the second injury done by the murderer after the death of the deceased-we still don't know the motive of the murderer to do so."

He threw the bloody disposable glove into the trash can, and frowned: "The corpse in the water tank has not yet been identified. Officer Matsuura asked you to interrogate Ms. Oikawa who called the police first, and made a record... Although it is an interrogation , but don’t be too serious, that young lady looks softer than the snowflakes in late spring this year, Matsuura is afraid that other people will ask her and it will cause her a psychological burden, so he specially let the young trainee police officer go.”

"She has alibi and she is the one who called the police. She should just be an unlucky person who was involved innocently."

Xia Youjie nodded slightly, indicating that he would accept the task: "Where is she now?"

The middle-aged man said: "Just rest on the bench in the front hall."

The 'hall' he referred to is an exhibition center for skeletons of underwater creatures between the underwater world and the crocodile hall.

The corridor of the underwater world is separated by a long cylindrical glass. Looking out from the corridor, you can see sea water on both sides, and some marine life swimming around.There is obviously something wrong with the pool on the left, and the color of the water is more cloudy.

Xia Youjie walked through the corridor and arrived at the exhibition hall, and saw Oi Chuanyuejian sitting on the wooden bench and resting at a glance; she was still dressed in the same clothes as last week, with the black leather choker on her fair neck .

Xia Youjie noticed that there was no pinch on Ji Chuanyuejian's neck.That is to say, although Saeko is still dead this week, the murderer with the tool ax has not been able to approach Oikawa Tsukimi and hurt her?

A few seconds after he stepped into the exhibition hall, Ji Chuanyue raised his eyes and looked over.

Xia Youjie walked up to Ji Chuan Yuejian, and showed his police ID in a businesslike manner: "Ms. Ji Chuan, hello, I am Xia Youjie who is in charge of this transcript."

Ji Chuanyuejian blinked, but she wasn't too nervous, she folded her hands obediently on her lap: "Officer Xia You, hello."

Xia Youjie sat down next to Oi Chuanyuejian, quickly assumed the role and began to ask: "What is your relationship with the deceased?"

Oi Chuanyuejian: "It's friends, we made an appointment to come to the aquarium together today."

Xia Youjie: "Is it just the two of you?"

Oi Chuanyuejian thought for a while, and said, "It's just the two of us. I originally made an appointment with a classmate of Saeko, but he couldn't come due to something."

Xia Youjie continued: "Could you please briefly describe the process of finding the deceased and calling the police?"

Oi Chuanyuejian recalled for a while, frowning slightly: "About 08:30 in the morning, Saeko and I met at the entrance of the aquarium. We visited the crocodile house first when we entered the door. At this time, I ran out of water, Saeko My son offered to fetch water for me."

"But she didn't come back after she left. I was worried about her, so I left the crocodile house and went to the pantry to find her. The staff in the pantry told me that she had gone to the locker room, so I left the pantry to find her in the locker room. ...then saw the body."

"I was terrified and didn't pay much attention to the time. If you want to know the time period of each event, I'm sorry I can't provide more information."

After she finished the last sentence with a little apology, her face looked pale and pitiful.No matter how hard-hearted a person is, he can't speak strong words to this face.

Even Xia Youjie got stuck for a moment.He avoided Ji Chuanyuejian's sight, pretended to lower his head to record something on the file, and asked, "Then, do you recognize the corpse in the water tank in the underwater world?"

Oi Chuanyuejian shook his head slightly: "I don't know. I was just told that there is another corpse in the water tank of the underwater world."

After replying, Oi Chuanyuejian stopped, licked his lips, and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water to drink.

Xia Youjie waited patiently for her to finish drinking the water before asking: "I still have some doubts I want to ask you... About Saeko going to fetch water for you - why didn't you go with Saeko? Where are you going? I remember that girls seem to prefer to go together."

Oi Chuanyuejian held the bottle of mineral water and said, "Because Saeko's father is the curator of the aquarium, she is more familiar with the structure of the aquarium than I am, and she thinks it only takes a few minutes to go back and forth. Everyone ran together, so let me stay in the crocodile house and wait for her."

Saeko is the daughter of the director of the aquarium?

This is the information that I didn't get last week...

Xia Youjie wrote it down secretly, and ended the simple transcript: "Thank you for your cooperation."

Oi Chuanyuejian smiled slightly, with a gentle voice: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

"..."

Xia Youjie felt that Ji Chuanyuejian was not sad about Saeko's death at all.This makes the relationship between Saeko and Chuanyuejian even more confusing—from the fact that Zhoumu and Chuanyuejian can easily deceive themselves to death, Xia Youjie can be sure that He Chuanyuejian is definitely not an ordinary person.

Not even a human being.

Returning to the underwater world with the transcript, Xia Youjie found the boss who had asked him to take the transcript for Ji Chuanyuejian just now, and handed over the information to him.

The middle-aged man flipped through the transcript, then handed it to the assistant next to him: "It just so happens that your side is over, go change your clothes and get ready to go into the water."

Xia Youjie was taken aback: "Go into the water?"

The boss nodded: "That's right. The corpses in the water tank have to be salvaged to confirm their identities... The death of the deceased was quite miserable, and the body was divided into several pieces. We can't catch them all with nets on the water surface, or It's up to you young people to go into the water and salvage it."

Xia Youjie immediately recognized that he was calling people around.But he thought that if he went into the water, as the first person to touch the corpse, he might be able to get more clues, so he didn't care about it.

After he agreed to go into the water, staff soon came to take Xia Youjie to the locker room to change his diving equipment.Of course, the locker room they went to was not the one where the dead man died, but the staff locker room located near the underwater world.

Take Xia Youjie to the staff room to get the diving equipment first, the staff lead Xia Youjie the way, and talk to him at the same time: "Although there are carnivorous animals such as sharks in our water tank, they are usually harmless to humans. Aggressive. And our staff only fed them in the morning, so you don't have to be too scared."

"We also have interactive projects in our aquarium. Many tourists have gone into the water to interact with them, which is very safe."

While speaking, the two had already entered the locker room.The structure of the staff locker room is similar to the one where Saeko died before, and it is also in the form of a multi-person room.After the staff briefed Xia Youjie on how to put on the diving suit, they left the changing room to wait for him outside.

Xia Youjie hugged the diving suit, and immediately frowned as soon as he entered the locker room: the first feeling when he entered the locker room was wetness.

Unlike the dressing room where Saeko died, the walls of the dressing room here are wet to the touch, and the corners are covered with a layer of moss.Xia Youjie looked around and found a few thin off-white scales in the crevices of the moss.

The scales are very small, less than the size of Xia Youjie's fingernails, and feel wet and smooth to the touch.

He looked at the scales for a long time, and asked the system: [Can I tell what kind of fish these scales come from? 】

[Player has an education]

The dice landed and spun, making a crisp sound.However, the system did not give Xia Youjie any additional hints, and Xia Youjie guessed that the secret dice must have failed.

He simply picked up the scales and stuffed them into the pocket of his police uniform jacket, then changed into his diving gear and went out.

As soon as he opened the door, Xia Youjie felt a gust of wind blowing against his face!

[Player passes one agility]

Xia Youjie reacted quickly and slammed the door shut. Because of his timely reaction, the pounced black shadow failed to reach Xia Youjie, but instead slammed into the door heavily, making a dull sound.

Xia Youjie opened the door and saw an employee in overalls with a strange flat head, lying on the ground and convulsing.The moment Xia Youjie opened the door, he immediately got up from the ground, and swiftly rushed towards Xia Youjie——

This time, Xia Youjie, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his arms to block, and when the opponent got close, he clenched his fist and hit the opponent's soft abdomen!

[Player passes a power]

When the opponent was hit by this blow, his body immediately curled up like dried shrimp in a pot.Xia Youjie seized the opportunity to bend his knees against the opponent's flat face, and punched the back of his deformed head several times!

The other party twitched twice, and soon his whole body collapsed on Xia Youjie's knee, and he didn't move.Xia Youjie grabbed the other party's collar and dragged him into the locker room.

He found that the other party looked familiar, and re-examined the attacker's face, and suddenly remembered that this employee seemed to be the one who showed him the way in the tea room.Xia Youjie was deeply impressed because his head was severely deformed.

However, compared with Zhoumu, the guy who fell on the ground now seems to have a flatter head.

When Xia Youjie let go of the opponent's collar, he suddenly felt a pain in his finger, as if he was scratched by something.He looked at his fingers suspiciously, and there were several small scratches on the back of his fingers.

He folded the collar of the unconscious employee, and soon found the 'real culprit' who scratched his finger: it was the irregularly rolled fish scales on the back of the employee's neck.

Those fish scales grew out from the flesh of the back of the employee's neck, completely integrated with him.With the reminder of fish scales, Xia Youjie finally connected the other party's narrow head with some kind of animal - fish!

Isn't that flat and narrow head just like a fish's head? !

Xia Youjie seized the time to look through the opponent's pocket again, and found a small key in his coat pocket.

He took out the key and looked at it carefully: the key was very small, about the size of Xia Youjie's little finger.

Such a small key certainly cannot be used to open a normal-sized lock.This size is more like the small locks that girls use to store jewelry in small boxes... Wait!

Small lock?

In Xia Youjie's mind, a white and delicate neck surrounded by a black leather choker appeared.
