Chapter 16: Cooperation and Update
The people in the chat group fell silent.
It didn't take long for Zhuang Xie's mobile phone to ring a message prompt sound.
It's all private messages from group members.
The corners of Zhuang Xie's mouth twitched, and he came.
Clay Sculpture: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Dahlia: "Brother Cogears, are you telling the truth?" ”
……
The information is changing rapidly, and Zhuang Xie's attention is always on one person's avatar.
Finally.
Starlight: "Are you crazy?" ”
Starlight: "Do you know how much of an impact you have on what you say??! ”
The anger that came to his face was ruined.
The impact is clear.
Just look at the silent chat group and the endless private chat messages at this time, but Zhuang Xie knows that what the other party is talking about is not this.
Cog: "Listen up." ”
The other side was silent for a long time before a message came back.
Starlight: "Alright! I would like to talk to you about a collaboration. ”
Cog: "What cooperation, let's say." ”
Starlight: "I know you've guessed something.
It's true that I'm not in the same time period as you, I lied on the group chat, and at the moment my time is, July 17th. ”
Cog: "I've already decided on this, and then what?" ”
Zhuang Xie didn't know when he had put on a duckbill hat and sat by the window on the second floor of a teahouse, he said such a sentence while lowering the brim of his hat, and glanced sideways at Wu Yuhe, who was skewering with his colleague Liang Yongchao, not far away, only to see him holding a bamboo stick in his left hand and draft beer in his right hand, and it was obviously impossible to chat with himself.
Zhuang Xie raised his phone imperceptibly, took a photo at random angle, and then quickly sent it over, very vague, but he believed that the other party recognized it.
Starlight: "......"
Starlight: "You're not easy, you're not the first of you to try to follow me, but you're the first to go undetected. ”
Zhuang Xie's hand obviously gave the other party a dismissal, you must know that Wu Yuhe is an old police officer, even if he is in the same time and space as Zhuang Xie, he doesn't know anything about chat groups, but his anti-tracking level is definitely not low.
Because Wu Yuhyuk concealed his true timeline, and he also had a scheming on the issue of Zhu Chaoyang's death in the lunch box, he obviously had a plan, which made Zhuang Xie care a lot, so he paid the most attention to him.
Cog: "No more nonsense, let's get straight to the point." ”
Starlight: "The reason I'm hiding my timeline is because I made a big mistake before. ”
Cog: "Revealing your true identity?" ”
Xingmang: "That's right, I purely thought that the strange events in the group might cause a lot of instability, so I told my identity. But at that time, I really didn't expect that there would be a vicious criminal in our chat group. ”
When Zhuang Xie saw this, his eyes froze, and his finger movements did not slow down.
Cog: "Criminals? Will the police be afraid of criminals? ”
Xingmang: "If it were an ordinary criminal, I would have been a veteran policeman for more than ten years, and I would have seen and arrested any more ruthless criminals, but this time it was different." ”
Cog: "What's the difference. ”
Xingmang: "Don't lie to me, since I have chosen to cooperate with you, I naturally know everything."
I'm sure you've also discovered what happened to us after completing the game, after all, if nothing else, you should be the first to clear the game. ”
Zhuang Xie looked down at himself, even under the dim light in the room, there were still some obvious shadows.
Cog: "Hmm. ”
Xingmang: "Not long ago, in my timeline, there were several deaths one after another, the causes of death were all extremely strange, there was no trace of homicide, and most of the cases ended in accidental death and suicide.
When I went to investigate, I accidentally found that the scene of the crime had an extremely strange smell, like rotten wood, and like a strange smell of rotten fish, except for me, everyone who went with me didn't smell this smell, the point is, it was very similar to the smell when I activated my ability! ”
Indeed, when Zhuang Xie controls the monster in his shadow, he always smells a smell of decay.
Cog: "So you suspect that someone from our group did it?" That's why you asked us which game we chose when we cleared the game? ”
Zhuang Xie suddenly thought that when he was chatting in the group before, he had discussed how to help Dahlia clear the game, but Dahlia was very stubborn and said that she wanted to clear the game by herself and didn't need the help of others.
When Xingmang Oh Woo-hyuk seemed to ask everyone which game they chose, they were quickly diverted from the topic by others and ignored them.
Starman: "Yes, through the game, it is possible to guess that the passer will gain abilities related to it, but it is clear that everyone has consciously avoided this question. ”
It's normal, Zhuang Xie himself hid this part of the information well.
Cog: "Then I'm curious about one thing. ”
Zhuang Xie tapped on the table with great interest and asked a question.
Cog: "Why did you ask me to work with you?" Can you guarantee that I won't be the vicious superpowered criminal you call me? ”
This time, there was silence on the other side for a very long time, and just when Zhuang Xie thought that the other party would not reply again, a message popped up.
Starlight: "Because, I know for sure, you're not a criminal." ”
Cog: "Why?" ”
Starlight: "Because things have changed since you told the truth about the timeline confusion in the group. ”
Starlight: "When a murder happens, there is only one person who is not suspected. ”
When Zhuang Xie saw the information, his movements froze, and the information that followed verified his thoughts.
Starman: "In my timeline, you're dead, so you can't be a suspect who is still committing crimes." ”
Zhuang Xie stared at the mobile phone in his hand and didn't reply for a long time.
Even Zhuang Xie's weird temperament, the sudden information also made his mood fluctuate.
Me, dead?
Zhuang Xie forced himself to calm down, to think, not to mess up, I will not die, and I cannot die.
I'm dead, and Na Jing won't be able to live anymore.
Thinking of the word "Najing" in his mind, Zhuang Xie's breathing slowly became stable.
Wu Yuhyuk, who was on the other side, also quietly did not continue to speak at this time, as if giving Zhuang Xie time to digest the information.
Long.
Cog: "That makes sense. Tell us about the terms of your cooperation. ”
Xingmang: "First, help protect me during your time period, at that time, I shouldn't have any self-protection ability in the face of the weird superpowers given by the chat group, I'm afraid that I've been targeted." ”
Starlight: "Second, I now have a preliminary suspicion of the suspect. ”
Cog: "Who?" ”
Before the other side could reply, a dialog box suddenly popped up on the phone screen.
"Chat group members have achieved achievements! Turn on the update and more features will be available at that time, so stay tuned! ”
Pressing the dialog box, Zhuang Xie found that the interface of the mobile phone had left the chat group, and he hurriedly clicked on the cartoon penguin icon to re-enter the chat group, but a prompt popped up.
"Software update, please try again later!"
Grass! (A plant.) )
