173. Variant Life Research Project (Request for Initial Order!! )

After coming out of No. 75 Deyue Street, Beihai, Bai Ye first received a strange system prompt.

- Your 'Treasure Smell' ability has discovered a hidden treasure in the current scenario.

Bai Ye looked around and found that in the direction of Brea City, at a point that was quite far away, a faint fluorescent spot appeared.

"A clue to a hidden treasure?"

"Weird? Why didn't the hidden treasure hint appear the first few times I entered this scene? ”

This is not the first time he has switched the 'explorer' personality in the current scene, and if there is a hidden treasure in the scene, it should have been discovered by him a long time ago.

"It may be that this game unlocks hidden scenes that were not unlocked in previous games, and the treasure is hidden in hidden scenes."

Since a clear clue has been given, of course, it is necessary to go over and investigate.

……

Taking the 'free shuttle' of the chainsaw door, on the way to Brea City, Bai Ye also thought about the main quest of this game.

This game has a very strange art style from the beginning, and the NPCs around it suddenly seem to have changed faces, and all of them have become brain-dead fans of Mukoff's company.

If this change is inferred from what Bill said before, it is likely that it is a hidden setting on the NPC.

It didn't show it before, either it was regulated by the system, or it didn't meet the trigger opportunity.

As for this 'Mukev Hunter' - I guess it's a new character added to the system.

Looking at the previous scenes of positioning the city of Brea, which mission objective was not newly added? Otherwise, in such a small city as Brea, where would so many reactionary forces and heinous criminals come from?

Speaking of which, Bai Ye thought that this hunter was himself at first, because he had already killed the employees of Mukefu's company more than once in order to obtain the building's elevator card.

If you kill a Mukov employee, you will be wanted by a bounty in the city, and his charges will definitely send him to the top of the bounty list.

However, Henry later mentioned a recent murder in Earl Castle, which occurred before Bai Ye entered the game, so it could never have been his doing, and this alone could have eliminated him as a suspect.

At this time, the car had slowly crossed the Eaton Bridge and entered the opposite riverbank area.

The streets of the riverbank district have become chaotic, and citizens seem to have fallen into a frenzy, some people are holding signs and demonstrating, and when they see vehicles approaching, they put leaflets on the windows of cars with headlines such as "Punish Mukov hunters" and "Mukov Company is inviolable".

Someone wreaked havoc on the streets, smashing shop windows and stealing jewellery and cash inside.

There are also people who fight in the streets, in the name of looking for 'Muqav hunters', but doing what they want to do to satisfy their own violent needs.

Soon, the 'free shuttle' stopped at the hot dog stall again, and the driver got out of the car to buy the hot dogs as usual.

……

After Bai Ye got out of the car, he noticed that he was very close to the clue to hide the treasure.

"Sure enough, it's inside the Mukoff Building, and it's ...... It's almost at the top. ”

After looking at the Mukov building in the center for a while, he turned and walked to the newsstand and bought a copy of today's newspaper.

The newspaper was full of news about the Muqv Hunters.

It also mentioned the identity of the employee who killed Mukefu and the location of the killing, but it allowed Bai Ye to collect a small number of clues.

"The victim was once one of the leaders of the Mutant Life Research Program?"

"The place of the murder is in the Earl's Fort district, go over and have a look first."

But when he arrived at the scene of the crime, he found that it had long been cordoned off by the 'nominal' police in the city of Brea, and no one could enter it.

Moreover, even if you can enter the scene of the crime to investigate, several days have passed since the murder occurred, and it is estimated that valuable clues have been taken by the police.

Trying to start an investigation from the scene of the crime is fundamentally unworkable.

"If you can't start with the homigre, can you passively wait for the murderer to take the bait?"

After all, this guy is known as the 'Mukev Hunter', and he probably won't stop if he doesn't kill all the employees of Mukef's company, right?

So instead of investigating the case that has already happened, it is better to investigate who his next target is, and then stay by that target's side and wait for him to come to the door.

However, there are not enough clues about the 'Mukev Hunter', including his modus operandi and his modus operandi...... There is no way to guess who his next target will be, not to mention that Bai Ye has not even figured out who is a 'Mukefu employee' now.

"It doesn't feel like there's any entry point at all."

The main quest seems to be very difficult this time......

Just when Bai Ye felt at a loss, suddenly the sirens sounded loudly on the street, and several police cars roared past Bai Ye and headed in one direction.

"Did the Mukev Hunters strike for the second time?"

Eighty percent of any unexpected events in the scene are related to the main quest.

So Bai Ye immediately followed in the direction of the police car, and finally arrived at a three-story mansion.

The mansion covers a large area, and there is a small garden with a large green area on the periphery.

The scene of the crime was naturally guarded by police personnel, but Bai Ye felt that he couldn't just let go of this opportunity.

He walked around the mansion, climbed into an unguarded low wall in the small garden, and then easily stunned and tied up a patrolling policeman, changed into his clothes, and managed to break into the mansion.

……

The scene of the crime was in the study on the second floor of the mansion, and when Bai Ye entered, it was already full of police officers, who were taking pictures and collecting clues.

On the side, there were two people who looked like detectives, an old man and a young man, who were whispering about the case, and Bai Ye leaned over to listen to it.

"Damn murderer, we're a step too late, let him run away."

"Now that the police force of the whole city has been mobilized, it is only a matter of time before he is caught."

"It's better to send all the police to protect the other Mukoff employees, there must not be any more mistakes, and it is a major mistake in our work to let the honorable Mukoff staff have an accident in our territory."

"I don't need to tell you this, I'll do it."

"So, what else have you found in this case?"

"Yes, in terms of the identity of the deceased...... He was once one of the three main leaders of the Mukoff Company's Variant Life Research Project, and the murderer seems to have only targeted the person in charge of this research project. ”

"Oh? So, are there any other special clues at the scene? What is the murder weapon? ”

"A small handful of black hairs were found at the scene, which looked like synthetic fibers, not human hair like hair. The murder weapon should be a bladed weapon such as a dagger and a short sword, with a length of about 20 centimeters, and the deceased was stabbed by a sword in the major artery in his neck, bleeding to death. ”

"Well, you're doing a good job, keep the investigation going, and get this murderous guy down as soon as possible."
