Chapter 7: Yang Zhi's Past
Yang Zhi looked at the direction in which Michelle Tang disappeared and slowly withdrew his gaze.
He opened the small box in his hand.
"You've earned 235 points."
A voice sounded in Yang Zhi's consciousness, and then, Yang Zhi felt a tingling pain in his left arm, he pulled up the riot suit and looked at the skin of his left arm.
On it, a black skeleton tattoo appeared, the same as the black tattoo on the arm of Zhang Qianqian, Gao Chongsong and Sun Shijia, who had mysteriously committed suicide in the previous investigation.
Yang Zhi first showed a slight surprise, and then calmly digested the information Tang Ziqiong said.
Michelle Tang said that those who enter the trial ground have at least one life in their hands.
Yang Zhi closed his eyes, and in his mind, a picture quickly emerged.
In that scene, Yang Zhi dragged a corpse into the dense forest, into a dug hole, and then buried the earth on it with a shovel.
When Yang Zhi thought of this, he exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes.
That's right, Yang Zhi has killed people.
In reality, people have been killed.
That was six years ago, in his second year as a tracing detective, when he was not looking for professional detectives for runaway middle school students, and at that time Yang Zhi searched for people more extensively, including looking for some trafficked children.
Around the autumn of that year, Yang Zhi took on a case to find a little girl who might have been trafficked.
Yang Zhi followed up on clues and found the traces of human traffickers, traced them into an inaccessible suburb of Guizhou, and hijacked the traffickers who drove to the deep mountain villages.
There, the trafficker may have seen that Yang Zhi was young, took out a knife, and wanted to intimidate Yang Zhi, but Yang Zhi was also strong, and the two fought without saying a word.
The trafficker finally got ruthless, really wanted to kill Yang Zhi there, and Yang Zhi was never a fuel-efficient lamp, he snatched the knife from the trafficker's hand, the two rolled together, the knife in Yang Zhi's hand stabbed into the trafficker's waist in the struggle, stabbed the kidneys of the trafficker, and the man died on the spot.
Yang Zhi was a little surprised when he found out that the trafficker had died, not that he was shocked that he had killed someone, but that he felt that killing someone was very simple for him, no nausea, no nausea, no fear, it was like doing an ordinary thing, and there was no sense of guilt.
The thoughts in his mind were not even fearful, but calmly analyzed the legal consequences, and after thinking clearly that if he called the police, he would at least be imprisoned for three years because of excessive defense, what Yang Zhi thought about was how to deal with the scene, how to get rid of the crime, and how to hide the traces.
Then, very sensibly, he put these ideas into practice.
Yang Zhi was amazed for a moment by his calmness in the face of the killing, but he quickly accepted it, he disposed of the body of the trafficker, and the car drove away.
And the little girl, probably fed sleeping pills by human traffickers, has been sleeping, Yang Zhi took the little girl back to Bincheng and handed it over to her parents, the little girl never knew that Yang Zhi killed people in order to save her.
This incident did not bring much mental pressure to Yang Zhi, and the case has not been reported, and no police have found Yang Zhi.
But Yang Zhi knew from that time that he was a dangerous person.
Although he has a legitimate profession, usually abides by the law, and abides by professional ethics at work, it is really necessary for him to kill people without mercy.
Yang Zhi opened his eyes, Tang Ziqiong's words just now reminded him of this memory that had been dusty for a while.
Yang Zhi has an association, Zhang Qianqian sent him a text message before she died, is it because Yang Zhi is this kind of person, very suitable for the person who survives in the trial ground where he is now?
What about Zhang Qianqian, who invited Yang Zhi here? She's also killed people? Or was it also a special invitation to enter here?
Zhang Qianqian sent an invitation code, what is the purpose?
Yang Zhi frowned.
No matter how you guess, the evidence is currently insufficient.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhi shook his head slightly.
Everything is just speculation, there is no real evidence, and if you continue to think about it, it is just cranky.
Forget it, let's deal with the matter in front of you first.
Yang Zhi turned around and walked into the forest, returning along the path just now, there were many dead branches and traces that had been trampled on the way, and the path back the original way was not difficult to find.
While walking, Yang Zhi analyzed the information in his hand.
The so-called trial mission, according to Michelle Tang, is essentially a Shura killing field.
There are a lot of players in the main god forum, and players can kill each other and get points and things like that.
Yang Zhi deduced that since points can cause killings between players, they may be quite useful, as Tang Ziqiong said, it is hard currency.
Michelle Tang did not deny the possibility that the main god forum has the ability to treat diseases, that is, if the conditions are sufficient, the main god forum may be capable of treating brain collagen tumors.
A large part of Yang Zhi's motivation for entering here is to find a way to treat brain collagen tumor here, and now it seems that there is such a possibility.
Therefore, Yang Zhi decided to continue playing this game.
However, Yang Zhi is very clear about his character, in the face of people who are thugs themselves, or who want to kill him, Yang Zhi is not merciless when he starts to fight back, but in the face of others who have not yet had a stake, Yang Zhi is a little unable to do it.
The people in this proving ground are also divided into several types of people, the teenager who was shot before is one category, belongs to the basic players, and the bearded man is one category, they regard themselves as predators, and Michelle Tang is a category, a more advanced hunter who hunts marauders.
Yang Zhi analyzes his own strength, he can't be a predator in character, and his strength may not be qualified to be a hunter of hunters and marauders.
Is there an alternative status?
Yang Zhi thought about it for a while, and then thought of a possibility.
"This testing ground, there is still a main quest......" Yang Zhi thought.
The Proving Ground has a main quest, which is to recover the Exophantom Beast.
Yang Zhi didn't want to start killing here before he figured out the situation.
But if the target is a beast and not a man, it's different.
A vague plan gradually emerged in Yang Zhi's mind.
Yang Zhi thought about it and returned the same way.
Although the terrain in the forest is complicated, it is a place where no one is active, Yang Zhi learned how not to get lost in the forest from a classmate in the mountains from his hometown, the method is very simple, that is, pay attention to the dead branches on the ground that have been trampled off, pay attention to the leaves touched by people in the process, etc., as long as you pay enough attention, you can find traces of people or beasts walking in the forest.
A powerful hunter can even track down wild beasts with the unique smell of broken branches, Yang Zhi is not so powerful, but he can also find his way with traces.
At Xiaoxi, Yang Zhi checked the body of the dead young man, but there was nothing left on the young man, and Yang Zhi did not have time to bury him, so he continued to return the same way.
Yang Zhi walked about 100 meters in the forest, and Yang Zhi found the fluorescent mark left before, Yang Zhi was unhurried and returned according to the original path.
When he was about to walk out of the forest and return to the wooden house in the forest, Yang Zhi suddenly stopped.
Because, from the field of vision of the infrared night vision device, he saw thermal images of wild beast activity outside the wooden house in the woods.
