Chapter 42: The Undead in the Sea of Fire (2)

Of course, Yan Ruyu wants to celebrate the New Year with Wu Cuo, he is not a person who easily breaks the old rules, unless something particularly important happens. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Right now, something particularly important is happening in the game, and in fact, it's spreading from the game to real life.

Three days ago, when Yan Ruyu opened the game, a message about the New Year's event popped up.

Game, it's not a big deal to make some gimmicks to make money during the New Year's holiday, but this news obviously has nothing to do with making money.

"As one of the most special players in the Who is the Murderer series, we invite you to participate in a real-life case simulation game on the occasion of the New Year.

Case Name: Undead in the Sea of Fire

Facts: On a summer night 20 years ago, an old building on the outskirts of Jingbei City caught fire, and five police officers were burned to death. A week after the incident, the police hastily announced that the case was an act of retaliation by the triad, and all investigation records were sealed as confidential......

20 years later, the spirits of the dead in the sea of fire will reappear singing nursery rhymes:

Six friends, forced to a dead end,

One of them rebelled, crying bitterly and begging for forgiveness.

Thinking of countermeasures together, surrender the petition,

I don't know that outside the door of the house, the evil ghost mends the knife.

A fire burned, and the doors and windows were blocked.

To ask who survived, visit the fog on Chinese New Year's Eve.

……

Participating in Chinese New Year's Eve?

……

Yan Ruyu read this message repeatedly, and even took a picture of it with her mobile phone.

20 years ago, there was indeed an unsolved case in which five policemen were burned to death, there was no case file, no one in the know, and even the cases that the five policemen had investigated were sealed, as if an invisible hand erased the clues about them.

There are only 5 heroic titles left that can neither be eaten nor spent.

Among the five police officers who died, there were two husband and wife, one of whom was Yan Ruyu's parents and the other was Wu Cuo's parents.

Wu Cuo is a positive and optimistic person, he believes in the so-called official narrative, and believes that his parents sacrificed themselves for a just cause, and for some reason, this just cause cannot be made public. For him, his parents are spiritual beliefs.

Yan Ruyu was different, the day before his parents' accident, he overheard a conversation in which he mentioned the crimes of a certain big leader, and also mentioned the methods used by this big leader to cover up his crimes. Yan Ruyu could hear the fear and anger in her parents' tones.

He firmly believes that his parents are by no means "glorious sacrifices", but "plotted by others".

Yan Ruyu has been pursuing this case, and it can be said that a large part of the reason why he accepted the bereavement arrangement of his parents' unit and engaged in his current job is that he wants to find out about this case.

Time is a good medicine for forgetting, 20 years have passed, and people who remember old things have been scattered to the ends of the world. Therefore, when this unsolved case appeared in the game event, Yan Ruyu's shock and incomprehension were beyond words.

He even had a vague feeling that there seemed to be a pair of eyes behind the monitor that could see through his thoughts.

What exactly do game developers want to do?

He checked the game's official website and forums, but there was no publicity or discussion about this event.

It's like...... He was the only one who received the event alert.

Could someone be hinting at something?

Yan Ruyu returned to the game, clicked "Yes" at the bottom of the dialog box, and agreed to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve event.

"In a real case simulation game, any unexpected events can happen, even death, are you sure to participate?"

Yan Ruyu clicked "Yes" again, and the game's built-in chat window popped up.

Yan Ruyu knew for the first time that there was a chat system in "Who is the Murderer", and the system automatically added a friend named Lucy to him.

Lucy's avatar is a blonde beauty, full of European and American style.

"Hello and welcome to the real case simulation game." Lucy was the first to say hello.

"Hello."

"The first clue of the undead in the sea of fire will be sent to you on time at zero o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve, please log in in advance and wait."

"Is the undead in the sea of fire a real case?"

……

“???”

……

"Lucy, are you still there?"

……

The other party never answered.

The Chinese New Year's Eve event is definitely a cat! Yan Ruyu came to a conclusion.

First of all, if the customer service of the game company dared to snub players so much, especially a high-level player like Yan Ruyu, I am afraid that he would have been fired a long time ago. The reason why they dared to show this attitude was because they knew that even so, Yan Ruyu would continue to play, and they seemed to know that Yan Ruyu would definitely be interested in this case.

Second, even Chinese who are addicted to games will put down games to accompany their families on Chinese New Year's Eve. At this time, important game clues were announced, and Niu X coaxed people to "log in and wait in advance", which has the meaning of "what should ordinary players do, why should they go, and the people who are really related to this case stay, let's talk about it".

At half past eleven o'clock in the evening, the sound of firecrackers outside has begun to rise one after another, perhaps the Spring Festival Gala is even more ugly than last year.

There are fireworks nearby, and you can see it clearly through the window.

The fireworks swooped into the sky and exploded, dandelion-like, red, green, golden, and purple.

When there were still 5 minutes left at 12 o'clock, Yan Ruyu came to the computer and logged in to the game.

3 minutes until 12 o'clock.

Is this a New Year's Celebration? Yan Ruyu suddenly popped up with such an idea.

Maybe it's time to make a wish?

Forget it, what an adult. He rejects the thought in his mind.

When the time in the lower right corner of the computer changes from 23:59 to 0:00, the chat window pops up again.

It's still Lucy.

"Mission: Connect, and get the first clue from the connector.

Joint location: south exit of Jiaozi Hutong.

Joint code: Brother, is the rheumatism better? If the other party answers: Dog skin plaster is applied, it is much better. The splice is successful.

Reminder: Please rush to the joint location as soon as possible, and the clues will only be given to the first person who successfully joins. ”

Yan Ruyu didn't dare to slack off, he guessed that he was not the only one who participated in the game, but he didn't expect that the game developers were deliberately amplifying the players' sense of competition.

After a little hesitation, Yan Ruyu pinned the pistol to his waist and hurried out the door.

The sedan chair alley is not famous, the modern urban construction has gradually forgotten the old place of the alley, but fortunately, the navigation is strong enough, and the road is very empty, Yan Ruyu arrived at the destination after more than 20 minutes.

It was really cold in Keihoku City at midnight, and the northwest wind was not too strong, but it was like a knife blowing people's faces.

Yan Ruyu got out of the car and looked around.

The white mist in his nose with each exhale blurred his vision.

Soon, another place with white mist caught Yan Ruyu's attention.

It was a black mass huddled under the base of the wall, spitting white mist rhythmically, and when you looked closer, you realized that it was an unkempt homeless man.

Yan Ruyu is not a sentimental person, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and this homeless man is huddled alone on the corner of the street when the lights are on, which is really easy to arouse people's compassion.

Yan Ruyu handed the homeless man a hundred yuan, and at this moment, a man wearing a black ski shirt and a white mask hurriedly walked over. Yan Ruyu left the homeless man and walked towards the man.

"Brother, is the rheumatism better?"

The man was stunned for a moment, took two steps, stopped again, pointed to his head, and said, "You...... It's okay here, right? ”

Obviously, this is a passer-by, Yan Ruyu had no choice but to give up.

Just as he continued to look around, a few lights shone on, and three cars came straight to the south exit of the sedan alley.

Looking at this formation, it should also be looking for a connector, and the person who came is not good!

Yan Ruyu subconsciously hid in the sedan chair alley and looked at the situation first.

At this moment, the homeless man who was squatting under the wall at the mouth of the alley suddenly got up, didn't stand firmly, and bumped into Yan Ruyu all of a sudden.

"Hehe, I've put a dog skin plaster on it, so much!"

When these words came out of the homeless man's mouth with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, the hairs on Yan Ruyu's back stood up.

He felt his pocket sink, and it was clear that something had fallen into it.

Yan Ruyu subconsciously reached out and touched it, it was a tape!

The homeless man walked out of the alley as if he was fine, Yan Ruyu wanted to chase the homeless man and ask for an understanding, but more than ten people had already come down from the car at the mouth of the alley, and one of the leaders shouted: "Watch this piece for me!" Who dares to connect before us and kill directly! ”
