Bai Hao was holding a bulky metal helmet in his left hand, and his right hand reached into his hair, gently pulling off the white and black two-color electrode patch attached to his scalp.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, the red warning light in the closed room went out, and the inexplicably reassuring white warm light came back on.

Syllable.

Bai Hao was placing the metal helmet on the shelf next to the operating table, and drank the orange-yellow liquid in a glass sent by the trash can-shaped crawler robot in one gulp—the liquid that eased the discomfort of exiting the STEM consciousness synchronization system.

Ever since Bai Hao is bringing the root of the Dolphin Hotel mission world, Joto Yukari back to the real world,

The scientific research department of the Special Affairs Bureau began to treat and study the girl.

The results of the experiment showed that Yukari Shiroto was born with psychic abilities, and she had no training, but she was born with the ability to amplify her mind and release her brain waves.

This ability, in the real-world plane of the Dolphin Hotel, caused her great misfortune - she was used by the official institutions of that world as a human body container to hold the anomalous cataclysm,

Her mind is the prison of all deviance, she is both the warden and the prisoner.

The Secret Service sympathized with and understood Yukari Joto's situation, and they made a special life-support device to heal Yukari Joto's weakened body.

And used a brainwave restraint device to limit her involuntary brain waves, so that she was no longer disturbed by the noise of tens of millions of people.

After a period of recuperation, Joto Yukari regained his physical and mental health. Through Bai Haozheng, who often visits her, she conveyed her willingness to do something for the Special Affairs Bureau to the Special Affairs Bureau.

After careful consideration and repeated research, the scientific research institute of the Secret Service decided to transfer Chenghu from Jiali to the memetic communication department, and tailored a device for her, that is, the STEM consciousness synchronization system.

The system consists of two parts, the first of which allows the Alien City to freely and actively control the range of influence and interference intensity of his own brain waves.

The second part makes Yukari's ability more interactive - she can use the magic circle provided by the Alien Society with a modern computer processor to connect one or more experimenters wearing brain-computer interface devices.

Pulled into her conscious mind.

As a god on the level of individual consciousness, he solves problems that are difficult to deal with in the real world - such as curing some Mobile Task Force operatives with serious mental illness, healing patients who have been contaminated with memes, etc.

This ability can also be used in the field of criminal investigation.

As long as the witness is connected to the brain-computer interface device, Yujiali can directly access the witness's subconscious mind and find key information.

If the witness has been dead for a long time, then injecting the brain tissue that has not completely decayed into the STEM consciousness synchronization system can also be effective - but at this time, in order to protect the castle Yukari from being harmed and polluted by the chaotic collapse consciousness of the dead body,

Usually send operators who are good at walking in the realm of consciousness? Connected to the STEM system, instead of the city household by Jiali? Go to the ocean of the dead and explore.

“...”

Bai Hao was thinking about what he had just seen, and turned his head to look at the back of the closed room.

What is the realistic material basis of the entire STEM system? It's a huge circular space.

The room where Yukari is located, located in the center of the space? By cable? It is connected to a total of more than 20 movable independent rooms in a circle.

In order to avoid accidents (such as memetic leaks), the separate rooms of each Consciousness Plane Walker are completely enclosed.

Can't see the ontology of the STEM system, can't see the other walkers who have entered the plane of consciousness with you? The command department, located behind the explosion-proof single-sided glass, is also not visible.

But this time? Bai Haozheng is very sure? A walker who just entered the consciousness level of the deceased Zhao Haining, a serial murder case? It's just me.

"Comrade Bai? Comrade Bai? ”

In the corner of the ceiling of the room, the voice of a colleague from the Secret Service sounded? "How do you feel about yourself? Is it convenient to record the language? ”

"Huh?"

Bai Hao came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at the surveillance camera on the ceiling, "Distracted?" Excuse me. ”

He is a telepathic and a high-level player, and usually there will be no problem walking on the consciousness plane, but this time the deceased Zhao Haining has been dead for a long time, and the degree of brain tissue preservation is not good.

Entering his collapsed consciousness, he came into contact with a chaotic and disorderly scene, and he had to find clues from the fragments of broken memories.

Bai Haozheng, who is a skilled worker, feels quite uncomfortable.

"I have no problem with language recording."

Bai Hao was scanning his body with his mental ability, everything was normal,

The electrode patch glued to his body and responsible for monitoring various vital signs was reflected on the LCD screen next to the operating table, and no abnormalities were found.

"Good. Then press the button on the LCD screen on your right hand and after hearing a chime and a flashing red light, you will speak into the microphone about everything you see on the conscious level.

Due to the nature of the plane of consciousness, your brain may still be slightly confused. You can talk about it wherever you can recall, and you don't force logic between the records. ”

In the broadcast from the ceiling, the voice of a colleague from the Secret Service Bureau sounded according to the script,

Bai Haozheng filtered out these nonsense, licked his lips, and after recalling it, he said slowly: "The first scene I saw was that Zhao Haining's hands and feet were tied with plastic strings and imprisoned in a closed room, that is, in the garage of Zhao Haining's own villa.

The man acted cautiously, disguised himself, disguised himself as a sloppy old man who had collected tatters, attacked Zhao Haining, tied him hand and foot, and threw him in the corner of the villa garage.

In front of Zhao Haining, he pried open the door of his car, imitated his handwriting, and left a suicide note on the vehicle that Zhao Haining was afraid of his financial bankruptcy and used the exhaust of the car to cut himself off.

During the whole process, Zhao Haining struggled desperately, tried to shout for help, and used money and bribes to persuade the other party.

But the murderer, disguised as a sloppy old man, did not waver, did not say a word, calmly and calmly in twenty minutes, faked the scene - his plan turned out to be quite perfect,

Zhao Haining, who was confirmed to have been involved in the human transportation crime ten years ago, became a local tycoon due to the accumulation of wealth in his early years, opened a factory, and lived alone in a hillside villa, his wife and children were abroad, and no one heard his cries.

At that time, his personal finances were in trouble, he was on the verge of bankruptcy, there were sufficient reasons for suicide, the chain of evidence at the scene was perfect, and the personal relationship between the deceased and the local high-level also made the case more sensitive.

In the end, the case was not found to be suspicious at the time..."

Bai Haozheng paused, rubbed his aching temples, and took out white paper and pencil from the backpack bar, "The assailant disguised as a tattered old man,

Undoubtedly, the real culprit in this serial murder case.

Even from the current criminal investigation system, he is extremely terrifying - calm, well-planned, and makes full use of the deceased himself and social conditions to interfere with the investigation of the case and clear himself of involvement.

The scariest thing is that it all happens before the killing field game begins,

The murderer is an ordinary person with no supernatural powers at all, spanning several years and in multiple regions, committing similar perfect crimes.

There is no social concern – some cases are labelled as self-confession, or simply accidental.

Of course, we already know that in the last few cases, there are traces of divine power covering, proving that the murderer has mastered extraordinary power at that time and began to consciously cover up his past whereabouts.

One of the most important criteria for selecting players in the Killing Game is the ability to adapt to changes in the outside world - and judging from the personality and behavior traits of the murderer in all cases, he is undoubtedly the most preferred type of person in the Killing Game.

He may be the first player to be qualified.

However, due to the limitations of the times, he still didn't expect anything in the end..."

As he spoke, Bai Haozheng used a pencil to quickly draw on the paper what he saw in the memory of the deceased, the smile that the old man who had collected the tattered old man when he closed the car door and looked at Zhao Haining who had fallen into a coma.

"The new Skynet system can retrieve the muscle distribution of each citizen's expression..."

Bai Hao was muttering to himself, and a white light flashed on the mirror of the gold-wire glasses.

————

Disappear.

Gone...

Chai Chai's eyes widened, looking at where Li Ang was in the last second.

The floor was empty, so clean that there was not a trace of dust to be seen.

She jerked her head up and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

Da, da, da.

Under the plastic cover, the second hand rotates on its own.

Chai Cuiqiao subconsciously took half a step back, the soles of his feet slammed on the ground, and the complicated thoughts exploded in his mind.

Why didn't Leon return?!

"Hive!"

Her gaze, as cold as eternal ice, swept over the brainworm standing next to her, who understood, and immersed her consciousness into the psionic network.

How is it possible, how is it possible?!

Chai Chai stared at the place where Li Ang disappeared, almost gritting his teeth, sharp nails and long black hair spreading and growing uncontrollably,

The mood of collapse triggered the Yin Qi accumulated in "Ji Du Yan Nine Shadows", causing the Yin Qi to spontaneously condense and form, turning into black snowflakes around her.

The script quest of the killing game has always been a packaged service, and the system executes the transmission instructions when entering and exiting the script world.

No matter how long the player has been in the scripted world, they will come out in the same place, at the same time.

From other people's perspectives, the players who perform the tasks of the script are all instantaneous.

The outfit, state, and standing posture of the body will change dramatically, and the abnormality can be seen at a glance.

If a player enters a scripted world and time begins to pass and the player does not reappear...

There are only two possibilities.

One, the player learned stealth in the scripted world, and very funny stripped naked and teleported back.

Two, the player died in the scripted mission.

“...”

Chai Cuiqiao, whose black hair danced wildly, tried her best to calm down,

The psychic scanned the room, finding no trace of Leon.

"Under the crown of the Holy Maiden, the link of divine power between the hive and the father, and between the hive and the hive, has been broken, and the power of faith entered into the idol has no sign of being received."

The double-knife turkey next to the guard said calmly, "Do you want to carry out the mechanical séance plan?" ”

“...”

Chai Chai took a deep breath, and when Li Ang teleported into the script, he didn't bring the evil god figure clay, and the statue of the dragon head and white coat was still in the nest under the Pacific Trench.

If he had returned to the real world, the Evil God figure would have been automatically transmitting the power of faith, rather than stagnating as it is now.

Even between the worm hive and the worm hive, there is no way to transmit information through the divine power link, and it can only be that the master of the divine power network, that is, Li Ang, is not in the real world.

"Leon, there's no way he's going to die."

Chai Chai clenched his fists and said firmly: "He has been promoted to the demigod level, and he has an epic level equipment that can borrow power, a biological master to save his life, and alchemy logistics and psychic abilities. Plus the title of the Digger, and the teleportation ability of the Magic Mirror.

The most important thing is that there are also two one-time release coupons - no matter what happens in the script world, it is impossible for him to not even use the release coupon. ”

She took half a step forward, squatted down, wiped the dust on the ground with her fingers, and said in a firm tone: "If he really dies in the script world, then at least, there will be body fragments teleported out." ”

Chai Chai stood up from the ground, his eyes resolute.

She had a blind trust in Leon, and no matter what the circumstances, it was impossible for him to fall into a desperate situation of certain death.

"There is only one possibility, this time with a script task with a question mark, the flow of time is the same as that of the real world. Only in this way will Li Ang not appear until now. ”

Chai Chai said slowly: "Since this is the case, then during his absence, what we have to do is to continue to maintain the expansion and advancement of the hive according to his will."

Scripted tasks can be as short as hours or as long as days.

Although it was a school holiday during this time, Li Ang had already been noticed by the Secret Service Bureau in the real world, and he had just been asked to record a conversation before.

Recently, there may be a staff member from the Secret Service who comes to your door, or you may be asked to participate in an internship...

I'll play Leon in the real world, while the hive expands at an accelerated pace.

Gorgon, is still lurking off the coast of Yin City? Then bring in the Behemoth and Jörmungad hive fleets in the Pacific Trench.

In the event of an accident,

For example, Leon was seriously injured and teleported back, or some organizations discovered Leon's hidden identity and launched an attack on this apartment in the real world.

Then we need at least enough force to defend and counterattack - life is at stake, and we can't block our lives on the reliability of the Special Forces. ”

Chai Chai methodically issued instructions to the brain worm,

At this time, the advantages of the hive's [Divine Power Link + Psionic Network] dual communication system are highlighted.

Despite the loss of contact with the Hive Master, the Hive was still able to transmit information through psionic nodes hundreds of kilometers away from each other - albeit at a slower speed than before.

As a once ferocious and violent evil ghost, Chai Chai has always been afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice, and no one can trust him completely except for Li Ang...
