"Lao Chen, this is a holographic game simulator that I finally got back, you game idiot, don't play it bad for me!"

My mind is still echoing with the fat boy's serious advice, but my mood is very disdainful.

What did you get back? Obviously, the Internet addiction treatment center downstairs of Fat Boy's house is celebrating its anniversary, and he won the first prize, okay! As for why the prize at the Internet Addiction Treatment Center is a game device, I don't know.

You must be very strange, why do I suddenly want to play a game, playing a very high-end holographic game - the so-called holographic game, is to give players an immersive sense of realism through the device, just like many online games write, but now this technology is still to be developed, and there are very few games that have been launched, and finally a few are on the market, which is really unsatisfactory, and the so-called holographic technology is terrible.

The "Heroes Must Die" I'm playing now is one such game, and the reason why I'm playing the game is certainly not to have fun, but to solve the case.

As the day came in mid-July, I successfully applied for my second qualifying tournament and received the news of a successful match within a few days. I was lucky, and the assigned case happened to take place in Long Province, so I quickly rushed to the scene of the crime. And the teammate I matched with agreed to arrive today due to the long distance. I didn't know his identity until we met, and I could only communicate with him via private chat on the website, which was an implicit rule of the Placement Tournament. The only information displayed on the website is the sect, so I only know that he is a member of the witch sect.

But...... Which grandson came up with this rule?

My message shows the Righteous Heart Sect, and the whole spiritual circle knows that the Righteous Heart Sect is only one of my disciples! Isn't it true that whoever teams up with me knows that I am Chen Rong, but I don't know who they are?

Without further ado, let me revisit the case.

The case took place in an internet café in the north of M City, Long Province. At 5 o'clock in the morning on July 2, Qiu Tong, who had been playing games all night for three consecutive days, suddenly died in his seat, and was discovered by the owner of the Internet café, which caused a sensation. When the police arrived 10 minutes later, they found that the Internet café was empty and the body had mysteriously disappeared!

Later, the police called up the surveillance video of the Internet café, and the first half was indeed as the witnesses at the scene said, a player foamed at the mouth and fainted on the seat, and the owner of the Internet café immediately rescued him after discovering it, but it had no effect, and Qiu Tong was suspected of sudden death. Then, the Internet café people walked outside the house one after another, blocked the scene, and then something bizarre happened - about five minutes later, Qiu Tong got up from his seat and left the Internet café through the back door, but his actions were very strange, like a walking corpse.

Half an hour later, someone found a male corpse in the south of the city, and the police in the south of the city investigated his identity and found that it was Qiu Tong who had appeared in the Internet café in the north of the city, and the time of death was also consistent with the time of sudden death in the Internet café, and the cause of death was confirmed to be sudden death. However, the two crime sites are an hour's drive apart, not to mention the fact that the corpses came back to life, even if they are alive, how can they get from the north of the city to the south of the city in half an hour?

In addition, the owner of the Internet café, a former medical worker, is convinced that Qiu Tong has lost his pulse and heartbeat after first aid measures failed. Therefore, how Qiu Tong came back from the dead is the second doubt in this case.

Qiu Tong's background check showed that he was just an ordinary person and had nothing to do with the supernatural world. So, if Qiu Tong was killed by someone, what was the purpose of the murderer? Obviously, a person who died suddenly in an Internet café will not be induced

What a sensation, but he just came back from the dead, teleported, and pushed Qiu Tong's death to the forefront, what good did this do to the murderer?

The police started with Qiu Tong's interpersonal relationships, but there was no progress, and finally attributed it to the supernatural case and handed it over to the supernatural bureau. Later, this case was taken over by the Supernatural Association, and it was arranged as the content of the ranking competition, and I was drawn.

The above is the detailed information of this case, and it is no exaggeration to say that there are no clues at all. If you have to reluctantly find one, it's "The Hero Must Die" - a game that Qiu Tong was still playing all night before he died.

This is a dark RPG online game, all the settings are very anti-human, so it is sought after by many trendy young people. It is said that in this game, only the villain will survive to the end.

At the moment, I was sitting in an Internet café, logging into the game, connecting to the emulator, and after 10 seconds of waiting on a black screen, the environment around me finally changed. I felt as if I was in a real game hall, and an artificial intelligence beauty who resembled a black fairy was saying to me affectionately, "Please set a nickname:"

I thought about it for a while, and typed in the words "Righteous Little Heavenly Master".

The AI beauty said, "The nickname has been repeated, please re-enter it." ”

This can be heavy, is the righteous faction so famous? I was puzzled, and at the same time thought of a new name: "Master is not reliable." ”

"The nickname has been repeated, please re-enter it."

"Master is super unreliable."

"The nickname has been repeated, please re-enter it."

"Master is the most unreliable."

"Created successfully." The AI beauty has finally passed my nickname, "Face scan is underway...... The scan is complete and ready to enter the game...... Happy gaming! ”

Heroes Must Die is a game that has just been in open beta, and there is only one server in total, so it was extremely full, and I waited in the dark for five minutes before I could see the light of day.

The surrounding environment gradually emerges with the singing of birds and flowers, which should be ancient, and you can know it by listening to the name of the game, which is an online game set in ancient times. And the place where I was born is the novice village, a non-material cultural scenic spot where countless heroes have walked out.

It is said that there is a terrible law in the novice village, which has been tried and tested time and again, that is, players born in the novice village are all newbies.

Not far away, there was a gray-haired old man, surrounded by countless people dressed in the same clothes as me, and I guess there was going to be a group fight. But I can't do so much for the time being, so I called up a small screen in the upper right corner, which said let me go and talk to the village chief.

The way to find NPCs in "Heroes Must Die" is very simple, you just need to shout "Village Chief", and the Village Chief will respond to you immediately, and then you can automatically find your way.

"Village Chief!"

"Leave it here!"

I was shocked to find that the village chief from the northeast was the old man who was fenced up.

Look at this posture, the village chief has offended a lot of people, don't embezzle % of public funds to block this, right? I thought to myself. But in order to keep the game going, I had to squeeze in to see if I could rescue the village chief.

I managed to squeeze to the front, and found that the village chief was always smiling, not like he was in trouble. I called him again, and he said kindly, "Oh, I'll go, why did you come here, you little, I've been waiting for you for eighteen years!" 'Master is the most unreliable', hurry up and choose a profession, and then start your adventure, don't put this grind aside! ”

In front of the village chief's mouth, in front of me

Two options appear - "Hero" and "Badass". Then do I still have to think about it, I was born to be a hero, and I must choose a hero!

Immediately afterward, I saw a "I'm sorry" expression on the village chief's face, and then my surroundings turned bright red, with a capital "GAME OVER" floating in the air, and a line of small words underneath "The hero must die, the villain, please start over".

"Oh...... No wonder it's called "The Hero Must Die". "That's when I realized it.

Although the first game experience failed, but I was not discouraged, after all, I usually don't play games, as a novice gamer, the first time I got started, I was able to contact the village chief of the novice village, and I was quite satisfied with my performance.

The second time I entered the game, this time I certainly had a memory and chose the "badass" profession. It is said that after choosing a class, everyone will have a random talent skill, and the skill that appears in my skill bar is - "Zuan Possession". I clicked on the skill description, and it simply said: After releasing the skill, you will briefly become a Zuan for 5 minutes, and the skill cooldown will be 1 hour.

I still don't understand, who are the Zaun people? Is it related to the cave people?

But I don't have time to think about it, and I'm not going to test my skills. Because the cooldown of the skill is too long, I'd better save it for a moment.

Next, the village chief assigned me a task: to help Li Fatya, the daughter of the king blacksmith, talk to the matchmaker.

The automatic pathfinding function helped me find the blacksmith Wang, but I didn't expect the blacksmith to be a personable frozen male god, as for his daughter Li Fatya, she is a little unattractive, and her belly is bigger than the pregnant women who are pregnant for ten months, no wonder the surnames are different!

"Young man, I am the only blacksmith in the village, and my name is Carpenter Wang." As soon as the blacksmith Wang saw me, he looked worried and said, "My beautiful daughter fell in love with Muracao Xie Guangkun, but I don't think Guangkun is worthy of her, but she has an affair with Guangkun behind my back, and now her belly is bigger." I had no choice but to agree to their marriage. ”

I looked at Li Fatya and said in my heart: I think she and Xie Guangkun are quite compatible...... And she's really pregnant, isn't she fat......

Blacksmith Wang continued: "But the old Xie family has not come to propose marriage until now, you can help me go and see what is going on." ”

I really didn't want to care about this, but the system automatically took over the task for me, so I could only follow the guidance to Xie Guangkun's house. As soon as I saw Guangkun, I was stunned, you would never have thought that this Xie Guangkun looks like Liu Neng.

I asked about the matter, and it turned out that Xie Guangkun was treacherous, and he had married someone else behind Li Fatya's back, and he refused to go with me to see Blacksmith Wang. Seeing that the task could not be completed, I hurriedly ordered my skills, and suddenly the Zu'an people possessed my body, scolding Xie Guangkun to the point of blood spraying and conscience. Just as he was crying and decided to go to Wang's house with me and marry Li Fatya, the screen turned bright red again, and it said "The hero must die, and the villain, please start over".

Why is this dead again? I was completely confused.

I hurriedly checked the strategy on the Internet, it turned out that what I did just now was a heroic act, and I had to launch skills against Li Fatya, so that she could realize that she was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat.

I couldn't help muttering: "What a broken game, the three views are too wrong!" ”

But I can't help it, I have to play and look for clues. Just as I was about to try it for the third time, someone behind me suddenly tapped me on the shoulder.

I looked back and exclaimed, "Is that you?" ”
