Chapter 9: Tokyo Hell (9)

The smell of disinfectant water.

Wu Hao shook his head and got up, the quilt on his body was shaken off, and he almost fell to the bottom of the bed, he hurriedly grabbed the quilt.

The base color of the quilt is purple, and the pattern of a cartoon bear is painted on it, exuding a charming girlish fragrance.

Wu Hao looked around, this was the girl's boudoir. The room was small, but tidy: lilac mosquito nets, polished floors, and textbooks on the desks were neatly arranged.

The only blemish in the room was the gray raincoat hanging from the hanger, with large and small mud spots on it, apparently unwashed.

He stood up, his body relaxed, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

I didn't change my jeans, but the undershirt was changed, and the new purple shirt couldn't be said to fit, but at least it wasn't uncomfortable to wear.

The blistered palms were wrapped in bandages, and the dirty black trench coat didn't know where it had gone.

Wu Hao patted his cheek and let his brain work.

He remembers being chased and killed by the police, during which he learned that some people in the police system were linked to the religion behind the serial killings. After killing the Professor, he finds himself in an unknown sewer and fights the monsters hidden there.

He also remembered that he had fallen asleep due to the effects of monster hypnosis, and then that he had been moved here.

"The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. How could that kind of monster appear on the tower floor during the closed beta period? It must be a system bug! He grinned and couldn't stop.

Laughing, the door of the room was pushed open, and a purple-haired girl stood in the doorway, pulling on her slippers, and the plain nightgown was painted with a pattern of stars. It's Onishi Tsukinose.

"Uh, that...... I took it upon myself to wash Mr. Policeman's coat," the girl looked at Wu Hao, who was smirking, and didn't know what to say, "Because it's too dirty, I'll ......"

Wu Hao was also stunned, and his laughter stopped abruptly. He really didn't expect that it was Onishi Yuenose who rescued him from a coma.

Is this also a choice of fate? He cleared his throat and continued to lie: "Thank you for your great help to the Special Bureau of the Public Security Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" If you hadn't dragged me here in a coma. I'm sure I've been given ...... by the witch doctor."

"But ......" Wu Hao didn't finish his words, and was interrupted by Yue Naise: "It was said on TV, the witch doctor, that serial murderer, is Mr. Police!" ”

What?

Seeing that Wu Hao didn't believe it, Yue Naise borrowed a body, and through the crack in the door, Wu Hao saw the TV in the living room, which was a news channel. The hostess inside was dressed appropriately and spoke in a serious tone, pointing to Wu Hao's photo and saying, "The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department announced at a press conference in the afternoon that the identity of the [witch doctor] has been determined. He's a police officer who hides in the police force and kills inhumanely......"

Wu Hao didn't expect Akutagawa to move so fast, or was he in a coma for too long? But......

He looked at Tsukinose, who had an indifferent face in front of him, and his heart also relaxed. The girl still took him in after knowing Wu Hao's [real identity], which shows that her purpose is not to expose Wu Hao. Either it's to take advantage of, or I just want to see how embarrassed Wu Hao is in the face of his lies.

What a vicious woman, Wu Hao thought so and decided to teach her a lesson. He raised his eyebrows, followed the girl's train of thought, and began to play: "I really don't know if you are stupid or naΓ―ve." How dare you save me when you know I'm [the witch doctor]? ”

Tsukinose was stunned for a while and didn't react, only snorted cutely to express his doubts.

"Do you know how many people I've killed?" He approached the girl step by step, "In addition to the three serial killings you know of, I also killed two policemen. There are five lives on my hands. Now that you know who I am, what do you think I'm going to do to you? ”

The stun gun has run out of durability and disappeared, and in order to create an atmosphere, Wu Hao can only pick up a stool as a murder weapon.

On the one hand, he wanted to scare and scare the girl, but on the other hand, he had the need to leave. Izumi Hayakawa mysteriously lost contact, either as an insider of the case or as an accomplice to the murderer. Either way, you have to go out and investigate.

Wu Hao thought beautifully, but the girl was not frightened by him, she sighed loudly, and her nightgown slid down, revealing her delicate collarbone.

"It's nerve-wracking."

Wu Hao didn't expect the girl to say this, and her reaction was half a beat slower. A force forced him to let go of his grip on the stool, and his breathing suddenly became sluggish, and the girl's boudoir seemed to become a cauldron of boiling water, but the fire was not yet boiling.

His feet were forced off the ground, and his body was pushed to the side of the hanger by an invisible force, and the hanger fell down with him, and everything was back to its original state.

"It's ...... Skill? ”

Wu Hao asked, he threw aside the gray raincoat wrapped around his head, reluctantly stood up, and looked at the purple-haired girl in the nightgown, and there was a different color in his eyes.

"It's not a skill," Tsukinose's face flushed, but she replied anyway, "Strictly speaking, it's a prop," she pointed to it. With the girl's movements, the incandescent lamp that shone the whole room stretched its neck, and a small slit cracked in the bulb, blinking mischievously.

Item: Witch Chest (Habitable)

Type: Item/Special

Grade: A

Effect (1): Expands into a 90-square-meter room, and the owner automatically gains A-level skill telekinesis in the house, which expires after leaving the house.

Effect (2): It can be changed from large to small, and it is easy to carry for flight.

Effect (3): The house itself has wisdom.

Notes: What's in the box?

That is to say...... You too? Wu Hao asked tentatively, his face was weird.

"Yes, that's right!" The girl couldn't suppress her shame, and her self-defeating shouts startled Wu Hao.

"I'm also a closed beta player for Infinity Tower. I lied, and I apologize for that. But Mr. Policeman didn't tell the truth, did he, what kind of special bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Public Security Agency. It's all bluffing! Let's even! ”

"Ah...... Ah, yes, let's get even. ”

Wu Hao stammered and nodded, he really didn't expect that this Infinity Tower would have other closed beta players besides him.

He was usually crazy, but this time he was overwhelmed by the girl's bluntness.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Larry is really difficult to use the dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Fifteen minutes later.

Wu Hao and Yue Naise sat facing each other, with a coffee table in the middle of the two, and two cups of tea that Wu Hao volunteered to brew on the coffee table.

The prop called [Witch Crazy Box] kindly turned on the air conditioner for them, but it's a pity that Tsukinose didn't play music in the house, or the atmosphere would be better.

"How? Does it work? ”

"I still can't get through," Wu Hao handed the mobile phone with a busy sound to Yue Naise, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that it's turned off, it's not busy, it's just that it can't be reached." The possibility that the mobile phone is not with me and I don't want to answer it can be ruled out first, after all, this is the game script, and the NPC is for customs clearance after all. Then there's only one possibility, and that'sβ€”"

"Don't think so," Tsukinose interrupted him, "People always have hope for life, don't play games with this mentality." ”

Wu Hao shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject: "You just told me that your mission is also [to find the truth], have you gained anything?"

"I'm interfering with your police's view."

"What?" Wu Hao didn't hear clearly.

"I said," Tsukinose patiently explained, "I interfered with your police's sight, and the gray raincoat girl who appeared on the camera at the Gray Nest Hotel was me." ”

"Blah, blah, blah," Wu Hao was a little surprised, most of his inferences were deduced from the evidence that [Tomita Jia Baili is a gray raincoat girl]. Tsukinose's approach is tantamount to completely rejecting his ideas. He patted his head and asked, "But through the system's [extra reward], I said that Tomita is the gray raincoat girl, is there something wrong with the information provided by the [system]?" ”

"Maybe you didn't ask," Tsukinose took a sip of freshly brewed tea, her tongue chattering, "the first two times it was her, and the Gray Nest Hotel was me that time." ”

Wu Hao nodded, he remembered that it was indeed negligent to ask the shopkeeper questions at that time, and he just asked for the detailed information of the gray raincoat girl very hastily, and he didn't get the photo from Shiratori, which was the evil result of just going by intuition.

He jotted down the lesson and asked, "Is Tomita a player of the Infinity Tower like us?" ”

"No, she's a tester."

"Testers?"

"Do you know the prototype of [the Infinity Tower]?"

"Story bed! The promotional video says, "Wu Hao poured some cold water into Tsukinose's teacup and said: "Immersive VR experience, immerse yourself in the story, and experience the ups and downs of the characters - but does this have anything to do with the topic we discussed?" ”

"It has something to do with what Jia-chan came here for." Tsukinose said, "The story bed and [Infinity Tower] are essentially the same thing, and if you really want to talk about it, [Infinity Tower] has realized the transformation of the two technologies. ”

"From a personal reading platform to an online game?"

"It's one level, but it's not the main thing. I don't know if you've ever experienced the story bed - set up the story, take the subterranean device, follow the protagonist around, and we'll leave when the story is over. But [Infinity Tower] is different, no matter when we arrive or when we leave, time in the tower will still flow until its end. ”

Wu Hao pondered for a while, and pondered carefully: "In other words, the people of this world are [alive]? ”

"Although the law does not recognize it, they are indeed alive. Remember [Westworld], which shocked the Nobel Prize two years ago? [Infinity Tower] uses this technology. Tsukinose held the teacup in both hands, felt the temperature of the cup, and then gurgled into his mouth.

Although the three views were impacted, Wu Hao did not fall into the rhythm of Tsukinose. Whether her words are true or false can only be judged by returning to reality, and the most important thing now is to end this script.

"And what's the second technological change?" He asked.

"The butterfly effect."

"The butterfly effect?"

"While the world of scripting doesn't stop with our arrivals and departures, we do have the ability to influence people and things, and even the players who come later. Jia-chan came here in advance to see how far this influence could reach. ”

"That is to say," Wu Hao didn't use the special game as a cover this time, "the skills she gave me ......"

Yes, that's one of the things she tested. But that's a bug, a bug, and the open beta will definitely fix it. But this has nothing to do with us, and after the closed beta is over, all our belongings will be returned to the organization, and Mr. Police also knows. ”

Wu Hao nodded: "I understand the purpose of Tomita's coming here." But why did you come to the scene of the murder and interfere with the police's view?

"Gu God Sect personnel are hidden at all levels of the police, and if they follow the police, they will not be able to find out." "I'm in the open and in the dark, and we want to get their attention and lure them out on their own. ”

Gu God Sect?

Wu Hao remembered what Xiao Hayakawa said in his dream, he patted his head and asked, "What do you know about the army's destruction of the Gu God Sect's den in the training area ten years ago?" ”
