"I won't beat around the bush. Take a look at this first."
The photo shows a tattoo pattern with a circle in the middle. There are strange lines inside the circle, like a pair of vertical pupils, and there is a circle of flames around the circle.
Su Qi narrowed his eyes: "I seem to have seen it somewhere."
"It must be from the murderer." The young man said, "This photo was taken from him."
Su Qi did not deny it, but it was not just the murderer. He felt that the ceremony performed by the old priest in the church of the small town in the copy was somewhat similar to this one.
He asked, “So what does this mean?”
"It represents some kind of evil belief. Take a look at this first." Liu Yishou seemed to know something but was unwilling to say more. He reached out and took out his mobile phone, entered the password, and clicked on a video.
The video showed an isolated prison cell. A man in bandages was lying on the bed with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling.
Su Qi naturally recognized him; this was the murderer.
"He woke up the same day he was released from the hospital, but he became unconscious and could not hear anyone talking to him. Then something strange happened. I have to warn you that this scene may make you uncomfortable."
on the screen.
The man's eyes suddenly widened, and his body began to tremble wildly as if possessed by some force. The straps tied around him were pulled to leave long gaps, showing how powerful the force was.
Then his body began to tremble more and more violently, and the guards around him were completely unable to hold him down.
Finally, he broke the restraints.
He jumped out of the bed and slammed into the wall.
"Bang!"
The entire wall is covered with red.
This ends the video.
Liu Yishou had been paying attention to Su Qi's expression, and he found that the latter was not too affected by the bloody scenes in the video.
After reading it, Su Qi asked curiously, "What is he doing?"
"This is not madness." The young man spoke softly, his expression was extremely solemn, and he stared at Su Qi with seriousness and solemnity: "Do you believe in weirdness?"
Su Qi didn't answer immediately: "Tell me first."
The young man spoke slowly: "First of all, you have to know that this world is not as simple as you think. As you just saw in the video, strange and filthy forces can destroy a person's spirit through terrible corrosive power."
The young man said slowly: "This power does not come out of thin air. It is filled with terrible evil."
"Although it may sound a bit unreal and hard for you to accept, it is very likely that this weirdness will find you. After all, you already have a great relationship with this person."
Su Qi pointed at the phone screen and said, "You mean, I might end up like this, have a mental breakdown, and bang my head against the wall."
The young man nodded, then added: "Of course, you could also jump off a building or stab yourself. It generally depends on your first choice after the breakdown."
Su Qi didn't show any nervousness or fear on his face. He just said with a sigh, "Very smart."
The young man was a little confused: "Aren't you afraid? Or don't you believe it?"
"I believe it. Why wouldn't I believe it when two officials from the Investigation Bureau came to me personally?"
Su Qi glanced at the question mark above the young man's head. He knew this man's identity from the beginning.
【Department No. 9 member Xu Linqiu】
He said, "But you two must have come here not only to inform me of my death, there must be other ways to deal with it."
The young man nodded: "Of course, after all, you are not the first ordinary person to be targeted."
"but."
He paused and pointed to the game cabin in the living room: "It seems that you have found a solution."
Su Qi was stunned, and his expression changed slightly: "Are you talking about Abyss Paradise? This game is strangely linked to the real world?"
If this is true, then everything will be very different for Suqi.
"You can think of it this way. If you want to get rid of the weirdness, you'd better pay more attention to the mental attribute. In addition..."
The young man changed the subject: "Because you showed some potential in the previous case, and you seemed to be entangled by something strange, so."
The young man handed over a card:
"Just like other ordinary people in the same situation, you are given an opportunity."
He paused and said:
“The opportunity to see the other side of the world.”
-
After half an hour.
Xu Linqiu and Liu Yishou have already driven back to the Investigation Bureau.
Liu Yishou lit a cigarette and said, "I've met almost a hundred new people, but I think this guy should be pretty good."
"Is that good?" Xu Linqiu flipped through the file: "Brother Liu, you don't know anything yet, you don't even know his performance in the game, and you think highly of him?"
Liu Yishou smiled and said, "Although I have just been transferred to your branch, I am very good at judging people. This is the experience I have accumulated over many years. Anyway, I think he can do it."
Xu Linqiu shook his head:
"Among the data we have, there are less than 80 people who have completed three difficult dungeons and achieved a score of 10."
"Brother Liu, you have experienced two single-player difficult dungeons yourself, and you know how difficult it is. The difficult difficulty already has a 50% failure rate, not to mention the nightmare difficulty."
He paused and said, "Anyway, let's see later."
At this time.
The office door was pushed open.
A pair of steady footsteps walked in from the door.
When Xu Linqiu saw the person coming, he immediately became nervous: "Teacher, you're back."
Liu Yishou also stood up from his seat. He submitted an application to the higher authorities after coming out of the hospital that day. Unexpectedly, they actually approved it. As a result, he was exposed to many unimaginable things in the past few days.
The middle-aged man rubbed his eyes tiredly and asked, "Are you done?"
"Well, I'm observing some newcomers with potential." Xu Linqiu replied. He suddenly paused and noticed that the middle-aged man had a frown on his face and did not look very relaxed.
He asked, "Teacher, did something happen?"
The middle-aged man looked deep in his eyes and said in a bad tone, "Just an hour ago, there was a big commotion in the park."
"The terrifying existence in the abyss suddenly erupted with terrible power without any warning. Although we don't know the reason and it has been blocked, it has obviously caused a lot of turmoil. Many people with insufficient mental strength have been affected."
Xu Linqiu asked quickly: "Is it serious?"
"It has been brought under control. However, the strange thing is that the target of that power is actually copy 6823765, a very ordinary low-level world."
"Why am I being targeted?" Xu Linqiu was stunned.
"Not sure. The data there has been cleared and Paradise cannot capture it. However, the Black Guards have gone there to investigate and there should be news soon."
Xu Linqiu couldn't help himself: "I want to help."
"Although you are strong in combat, your mental strength is not enough. That world has fallen into the highest level of pollution. It won't work." The middle-aged man had a cold face and refused directly.
"But."
Xu Linqiu was about to refute, as he also had several spiritual power items, but when he met the middle-aged man's serious gaze, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Liu Yishou looked at the somewhat silent atmosphere and asked a question to break the silence: "Is the mental attribute important? Although I have only experienced a few copies, it seems that none of them used the mental attribute."
Xu Linqiu sat down, opened the tablet, and found an internal data: "You can take a look. This is the success rate of clearing levels of difficulty given by the park after today's public beta test."
[Normal dungeon, clearance rate 78%]
[Difficult instance, clearance rate 50%]
[Nightmare dungeon, clearance rate 9%]
There is another piece of data below.
[All pollution-type dungeons, clearance rate 1%]
Liu Yishou was slightly stunned: "What is a pollution copy?"
"Pollution copies are directly related to mental strength."
The middle-aged man seemed to have seen the distant future and said:
"Although no one takes it seriously now, they will understand once they enter paradise."
"The importance of spiritual attributes."
There won’t be too many plots in reality, it’s mainly written around the game, so you can rest assured.
Chapter 8 Entering a New Dungeon
It's already noon time.
Su Qi did not return to the game cabin immediately. After ordering takeout, he walked around the room.
"That strange power is very mysterious. I don't know if I can see it with my eyes."
He turned around for a while, and then was surprised to find
Everything is ok in the room.
There's nothing special about it at all.
Suki walked to the bedroom and opened the cabinet.
The hand bone and the sheet of music are still there, nothing has changed.
It is still in this chaotic state.
Just when Su Qi was about to put the two things back into the cabinet.
He suddenly paused, looked back at the game cabin in the living room, and then an idea came to his mind.
After half an hour.
Su Qi finished his lunch and then lay down in the game cabin again.
