54 Pupa
Lifeline didn't open in the morning, so Fang Chi went to check on the spot and found that Xu Ming's car was still parked in the labyrinthine parking lot underground. The body is intact and there are no signs of invasion. Looking at the records of vehicles entering and exiting the parking lot, the car entered at 22:08 last night and has not driven out since.
The car was worth a lot of money, and when Fang Chi looked carefully inside the car, he could vaguely see that a lot of expensive virtual reality camera equipment was still in the rear of the car. In addition, Fang Yuan has not received any news about Xu Ming until now. - Basically, the possibility of robbery or kidnapping can be ruled out.
So did Xu Ming have an accident, or did he follow someone else because of a hangover?
For some reason, Fang Chi always had an ominous premonition in his heart.
One after another people disappeared in the new town, singers, directors, performance artists...... And then to Xu Ming, the photographer, will there be any connection between this?
The area where Lifeline is located is an artist community filled with art galleries, sculpture parks, bars, and personal studios. These artists are so accustomed to going out day and night, tracking the inspiration of their muses late into the night, so much so that at this time, the community is barely visible.
Fang Chi easily climbed up to the third floor, touched an unlocked window inside, and climbed in. She went straight to the control room of the livehouse's security system, only to find that there was no security system at all, only a small monitoring room. As soon as he looked at the shooting positions of those surveillance cameras, Fang Chi had a bottom in his heart: there are many stories behind this live house.
Those cameras are placed at the entrance and exit of the periphery, and the indoor space is so spacious that there is only a high-level fisheye camera. This arrangement is obviously to give the greatest freedom to the people who come to the live house.
Fang Chi called up the surveillance video to see, and sure enough, at 22:24 last night, he saw Xu Ming enter the live house. But he didn't bring virtual reality camera equipment, and he didn't have an assistant with him, so he just looked like he was just there to play.
Although the space recorded by the fisheye camera was very large, the portraits were all deformed, and it took a lot of effort for Fang Chi to find out Xu Ming. He sat in the corner, watching the band play, talking to all sorts of people in between, and it was clear that he was very good at eating in the circle. At 23:42, he left through a side door, and half an hour later, returned to his original position, and began to talk and drink with several women who had been dressed as before. Although there are intimate acts, there is no further development. At 1:43 a.m., he got up and left drunk alone, and the surveillance footage of him could no longer be found behind him.
Fang slowly leaned back in his chair. Things do get tricky.
She originally had a glimmer of hope, thinking that it was possible that Xu Ming was drunk and disorderly, went to someone else's house or went out to open a house. Fang Chi glanced at the current time, it was already 13:45 in the afternoon. Fang Yuan still hasn't contacted her, indicating that Xu Ming still hasn't appeared. With her understanding of Xu Ming, Xu Ming will not be so stupid as to go out to steal at night, and he will not rush back in the morning to report to his wife.
If he left alone, but did not go out of the normal exit of the live house, then the possibility of an accident is relatively high.
Fang Chi was about to leave, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few girls opening the door and coming in in the surveillance screen. One of them was very familiarβ
Ding Feifei.
β¦β¦
Ding Feifei is here to work. Come every afternoon to clean and set up the venue, tune up the sound system, and prepare the drinks for the evening. In the extra time, you can also practice playing the drums for a while. After coming to this live house, she already developed a strong interest in drummers.
"You guys get busy first, I'll go change my clothes. This hell weather, it's too hot! She shouted with a grin. The other girls echoed one after another.
walked into the locker room and closed the door, Ding Feifei had just taken off her coat, and saw the dense hanger shaking, and a person came out from behind. She was about to open her mouth to scream when she saw the man's fingers make a silent motion on the side of his mouth.
"Shhh
A simple white T-shirt with a knot around the waist. Although the figure is slender, but the waist is the waist and the chest is the chest, Ding Feifei looked at her this time, and she only felt that her complexion was much better, and there was still a seductive energy all over her body, which was not seen before.
"Why are you here?" Ding Feifei took off her pants by herself, wearing only a pair of small triangular panties, and slowly changed her skirt. "Not with Xie Weishi?"
Fang Chi listened to her, very hostile, and did not answer her directly, and flipped out Xu Ming's photo on his mobile phone to show her:
"Have you seen this man?"
Ding Feifei glanced at it and said disdainfully: "I often see it, isn't it the VR photographer, the one who became famous by plagiarizing other people's VR paintings, and later successfully washed it white." β
"Plagiarizing someone else's VR drawing?"
"yes. Did you know that there is a VR painter called Sheng Fang? He has a series of paintings called 'Bridge to Wonderland', although it is not well-known, it is widely spread in the painter circle, and the style is very special. The set of photographs that this photographer became famous for borrowing from the style of 'Bridge to Wonderland'. Oh, I still haven't admitted it. β
"How do you know?"
Ding Feifei smiled disdainfully, and went to touch up her makeup in the mirror, "There are a lot of people here, and you will know if you listen to it more." Now that the photographer has achieved fame, he has long since stopped shooting that style. Although the people who eat melons don't know it, the people in the circle still remember it. β
Fang Chi frowned, thinking about the relationship between Xu Ming's matter and Sheng Fang, but heard Ding Feifei ask, "What are you doing to check him?" Missing? β
Fang Chi was stunned, "Yes." How do you know? β
Ding Feifei laughed "sneering", carefully traced the lip line, and said, "It's not weird." It's a Nemo again. I don't know how many have been missing in the past few months. Nobody takes it seriously. β
Fang Chi was shocked. During this time, there were only four people reported by the media, and the police launched an investigation, but there has been no progress so far. Listening to her mother Gu Ying, those people seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and the police couldn't even find the slightest clue.
It's so weird. And looking at Ding Feifei's meaning, there are more than those four who are missing.
"Anyone else missing?" Fang Chi asked.
"It's all little-known characters. In these art communities in Yan City, how many people who do art come from all over the country every year, no name or surname, and no one goes to the police if they lose it. β
"What did you mean by Nemo?"
"Nemo is an organization full of artists. At first, it seemed that some artists often met at Lifeline, and gradually an organization was formed. I heard that it is not easy to join, and it must be recommended or invited by the people inside. These people call themselves Nemo, and they often get together to do weird things. Ding Feifei shrugged, "I don't know anything about artists, in my opinion, it's just a group of neurotics." β
Fang Chi knew the meaning of "nemo", the Latin word for "nameless person", which is "Nobody". Nemo doesn't know who he really is or where he's going. Smallness, low self-esteem, and nothingness fill their hearts, losing themselves and despairing of everything in life.
Artists are vipassana, sensitive and egoistic people. Because their inner self is so abundant, they are able to create continuously. However, there is always a time when inspiration runs out, and it is such a group of talented artists who are always confused and confused.
"You know what they've done?"
Ding Feifei glanced at her and said, "For Xie Wei's sake, I'll tell you this." I'm here to eat together, and there are some things I can't talk about. β
"Are they going to watch the ice crack together?" Fang Chi stared at Ding Feifei and asked.
Ding Feifei was a little surprised, "How do you know?" β
"Ice cracks give them inspiration and help them create things they wouldn't normally create. Just like many people in the entertainment industry in the past, they would try to take drugs. Is it? β
"Ho, you know so much." Ding Feifei said, "It's not called ice cracking now." Ice cracks, that's the name of the old town. Here, they call it 'chrysalis'. β
Chrysalis. That's right. That green, cocoon-like thing.
Fang Chi nodded and said, "If they let you see it, don't look at it." β
Ding Feifei sneered disapprenously: "I still need to say it." Xie Weishi had already reminded me. β
"Xie Weishi?" Fang Chiqi said, "When?" Did he say 'chrysalis'? β
"Of course." Ding Feifei was a little proud, "You don't know, it's when you were just injured some time ago." β
When you were just injured some time ago? Fang Chi frowned. At that time, she had just returned from a plane with Xie Weishi from Thailand. At that time, the separation was only half a day. At that time, she was not sure that the ice crack had been upgraded, how did Xie Weishi know?
And after that, until the two went to the hospital to visit Sheng Fang together, he didn't mention it to her.
She suddenly thought that Xie Weishi could make a honeypot of "chrysalis" so quickly, and he must have seen "chrysalis". Where did he get the seeds of the chrysalis?
Dark Web. It can only be the dark web.
The upgraded "Chrysalis" has become larger than in the past, and it is not suitable for transmission with a USB flash drive, so what she saw was pre-installed and sold with O's new glasses. The "chrysalis" is still attached to Maandala, but it is such a large program that cannot be experienced in tourist mode.
So Xie Weishi really does what he said, not playing Maandala?
Why did he have to hide this from her?
Ding Feifei saw that she was thinking a lot when she heard this, and she felt a little happy to win back a game, but she was a little sad in her heart, she secretly gritted her teeth and asked, "What are you thinking?" β
Fang Chi looked at Ding Feifei in silence, Ding Feifei propped himself on the hanger beside her with one hand, glared at her, and said: "I'll tell you, whoever you like, just confess, Xie Wei is not a dog, don't rely on him to like you, you just hang him and let him circle around you, you still suspect him and that." β
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red, "I know I'm vulgar, I don't understand anything, I'm not worthy of him." I like him so much, but I can't say it. She pointed to her heart, "He is here with me, he is a god, he is all, the best thing." He did the best thing for me. He has also done the best for others. But he couldn't say anything. β
"Don't doubt him. Everyone can doubt him, but you can't! β
