Chapter 137: Heartbeat
Hou Wan looked at Wei Chi who woke up and was still sweating profusely, and turned off the gun and put it away.
Wei Chiran saw this scene, and looked at Chu Xia next to him, he knew that if he hadn't walked out of the hotel within the specified time before, Chu Xia might really die.
Early Summer stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
Hou Wan said: "Is there anything wrong, look at the instrument and ask him useless." ”
Chuxia turned around and walked to the mirror, and after touching the mirror with his hand, the mirror showed a series of data, all of which were Wei Chiran's blood pressure, heartbeat, and the like.
Chu Xia looked at it for a while and said, "There is no abnormality." ”
Wei Chiran looked at the hotel room and realized that he was still in the Steyr International Hotel, and couldn't help but smile: "It turns out that you moved the equipment here." ”
Hou Wandao: "That's right, in order to better simulate the reality, so we installed a full set of equipment on the 20th floor of the hotel, of course, all this was carried out after Geng Yun and Zhong Fang chose here, the purpose is to give you a more perfect simulation, so that you can't distinguish between reality and the projection world." ”
Wei Chiran said disdainfully: "It's also to experiment with ordinary residents, right?" I'm curious, how the hell do you guys do it? ”
Hou Wan was not in a hurry to explain, but just took out a USP pistol from the box next to him and threw it to Wei Chiran, and at the same time pulled out the gun violently, who knew that at the moment when Hou Wan pulled out the gun, Wei Chiran had already pointed the gun at him.
Hou Wan smashed the gun at Wei Chiran and pounced on it, and the two suddenly fought, while Chu Xia watched coldly from the side.
Dozens of seconds later, Hou Wan restrained Wei Chiran and asked at the same time, "Do you think you have changed?" ”
Wei Chi was a little out of breath, so he had to pat the bed.
Hou Wan let him go, got up and straightened his clothes.
Wei Chiran looked at Hou Wan and was also surprised, if he had changed to before, he would probably be knocked to the ground by Hou Wan in just a few seconds, but he had struggled for dozens of seconds before, and subconsciously knew how to get rid and how to counteract.
Wei Chiran frowned and said, "This machine can be implanted with a subconscious?" ”
Hou Wandao: "To be precise, it is nerve and muscle memory. That is to say, if you enter the projection world and are implanted with some kind of behavior, such as martial arts, and then return to the real world, these things will not disappear completely, they will still exist in your consciousness and can still be used, but this technology is not very mature now, so there will be memory breaks. ”
Wei was puzzled: "What does it mean to have broken memories?" ”
Hou Wan explained: "Take the previous example, after I locked you, you were freed, but it stands to reason that the next step is to counteract, at least in 0.5 seconds, but you hesitate for about two seconds, and these two seconds are memory breaks, because you forgot what you should do." ”
Wei Chiran knew very well that just two seconds was enough to kill someone.
Hou Wan looked at his watch at this time and said, "I have other things, I will hand over all the information to Chu Xia, let her explain it to you." ”
After speaking, Hou Wan opened the door directly and left.
Wei Chiran sat there looking at Hatsu, and Hatsu looked at him for a few seconds before looking at the mirror.
Just when he was about to explain in early summer, Wei Chiran asked, "You knew it from the beginning?" ”
Chu Xia shook his head and looked at Wei Chiran: "I don't know, after entering the elevator, you said disgusting, I felt that something was wrong, and then you fell down directly, and after the elevator door opened, I saw Minister Hou standing there, and then carried you to this room, from that moment on, we were in the room, standing in front of this mirror, watching all your performance in the projection world." ”
The lieutenant looked around the room with a sigh of relief: "The ability of the lone soldier is really great." ”
Chu Xia said: "The server is hidden in the basement of the hotel, ordinary people can't get in, the server is bigger, beyond your imagination, the basement where the server is stored is a warehouse, and the elevator is a consciousness projection device." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "We are both in the elevator, why are you okay?" ”
Chu Xia said: "Because the person selected by the system at the beginning is you, not me, and the system has been set, you can't customize yourself in the projection world, intuitively speaking, you can't build your own character in this simulation system of the lonely army, you can't choose appearance, height, occupation, personality, etc." ”
Wei Chi nodded and said: "I see, that is to say, my fate in the projection world is predestined, and it can't be changed no matter what, right?" ”
Chu Xia nodded, and then said, "I've copied all the information, let's go back to the safe house." ”
Wei Chi understood what she meant, if she was here, she would definitely be under surveillance, and it would be difficult to communicate anything, so she left the hotel with Chu Xia and returned to the safe house of the Two Realms City.
After going back, the briefing on the mission that was about to start in early summer, Wei Chiran found that Fang Xunyi had never appeared.
Chu Xia told him that Fang Xunyi had already entered the projection world before him, because this case was still handled by the two of them, so now Fang Xunyi had gone out to investigate.
Wei Chiran asked, "You mean to say that Fang Xunyi has already been in the past few days when I was in a coma?" Why didn't he tell us? ”
Chu Xia shook her head: "You can ask him yourself." By the way, after the explosion of the Diming Tower, PW has already announced to the public that you are the one wearing the white monkey mask, and you also died in the explosion, so from now on, there is no such person as Wei Chiran in this world. ”
Wei Chiran asked, "Then what is my new identity?" ”
Chu Xia said: "Minister Hou hasn't made arrangements yet, so you can't go out recently, and you can't go out for free activities." ”
Wei Chiran suddenly felt a little scared, he lost his previous identity, which meant that he had to say goodbye to the past completely. He thought of Xiang Hua again, will he become the second Xiang Hua one day?
Seeing that Wei Chi was in a daze in the early summer, he stepped forward and asked, "You are under a lot of pressure, right?" ”
Wei Chi nodded subconsciously, but he could see the approaching early summer, smelling the perfume smell on her body, coupled with the distance at this moment and the eyes of the two, early summer seemed to sense something, and did not resist, so he naturally put his mouth up.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, Fang Xunyi walked in with a bunch of things, and Wei Chiran and Chu Xia hurriedly separated.
Fang Xunyi, who entered the door, also found out, but he still pretended to be nothing, and said to himself: "I bought food and drink for a week, and we don't have to go out this week." ”
Chu Xia also came to the projection screen: "Since you're back, let's start from the beginning and talk about the serial murder case in the script." ”
Fang Xunyi sat next to Wei Chiran, Wei Chiran was still a little embarrassed at this time, he was thinking that if Fang Xunyi didn't come back before, what would happen between himself and Chu Xia?
Was the previous behavior of yourself subconscious or?
The most important thing is that his mind unconsciously remembered the triangular relationship with Yin Wanmeng and early summer in the projection world. Could it be that this kind of relationship is also deliberately set by Lone Army? Is there something implanted in your subconscious?
Therefore, when he was about to start the briefing in early summer, Wei Chiran asked: "What about Yin Wanmeng?" ”
When he asked this, Chu Xia suddenly felt that something hit his heart, and a few seconds ago, Wei Chiran almost had something happen to him, but then he asked Yin Wanmeng.
After all, early summer watched Wei Chiran's experience in the projection world all the way, so he probably guessed something. However, there was a slight discomfort in my heart. But she told herself that she didn't have a good impression of Wei Chiran, but was worried that Wei Chiran would be charmed by Yin Wanmeng, who was sent by the lone army.
Chu Xia shook his head and said: "I don't know, it hasn't appeared for the time being, Yin Wanmeng who appeared in the projection world before is just a virtual character." ”
Wei Chi said, "Let's start." ”
Fang Xunyi asked inopportunely: "You also went?" What went through? ”
Wei Chiran just said: "In the story I experienced, you are my wife, that is, Yin Wanmeng's cheating partner, and Chu Xia is my cheating partner, probably such a thing, very bloody." ”
Fang Xunyi was surprised and laughed: "What is this?" ”
Early Summer interrupted the two: "The briefing has begun. ”
The first photograph appeared on the projection screen, showing a man in his early thirties and a somewhat scruffy appearance.
Chu Xia said: "This person's name is Qi Yuan, 34 years old, he is an ordinary worker, he can't be an office worker, he belongs to a person with an unstable job and an unstable life, living with his parents, that is, the reporter in the script serial murder case, and he is also the later victim." ”
Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi stared at the screen, and Chu Xia told them that Qi Yuan walked directly into the PW headquarters on July 14, 2017 to call the police, claiming that he had killed 3 people. PW immediately conducted inquiries and investigations, and found that all three of the people he claimed were still alive and that there had been no recent incidents, so he was sent directly to the nearest police station and detained on the grounds that it was a waste of police resources to report a false case.
A few days later, Qi Yuan was released, but a month later, the first deceased appeared.
Early summer switched to the next scene photo, in which a woman died in the grass of the park, with a dinner knife stuck in her chest, and the scene was not messy. According to the forensic examination, the woman died at about 10:30 p.m., and she should have been killed by a sudden attack, with almost no chance to resist and struggle.
Chu Xia said: "The first deceased is called Kong Na, a 24-year-old woman, a restaurant waiter. ”
At that time, Kong Na's death was not taken seriously, but a few days later a second deceased, also a woman, also a restaurant waitress, named Taishana, died in front of her own house, also killed by a knife.
"Before Taishana died, someone had seen the murderer and seen the murderer attack, and when the police arrived, the murderer had already left." Hatsu looked at the photo and said, "At that time, it was not determined that it was a serial killer, so the police did not hand over the case to PW for the time being." ”
According to the FBI's definition of a serial killer, murdering at least three people and having a cooling-off period during the crime is different from a mass killer who commits a massacre in the same place for a period of time, or a killer who goes berserk with murder.
So, it wasn't until the third deceased appeared, also a woman and a restaurant waiter, who was also killed by a knife, that it was determined that the serial killer had committed it, and the case was quickly handed over to PW.
