[Welcome to the Hall of Strangeness, and you will be transported to your personal landing center]

A series of prompts sounded in Zhen Shifeng's ears, only a buzzing sound was heard, and the whole person seemed to be swept into a violent whirlpool and sank downward, the white light lit up slightly, and after opening his eyes, he returned to the original personal landing center.

"Well, I'm back dead again." As for the previous vodka visit, Zhen Shifeng has classified it as 'delirium caused by paranoia', but the commission two days ago is real, and he is still obliged to continue to contact this game before the 'real' client visits, after all, 'not fighting unprepared battles' is the most basic professional quality of a qualified detective.

It is said that when talking with the imaginary vodka, Zhen Shifeng once mentioned that his entertainment life did not include online games, which is indeed true. Not only online games, but also movies, television, forums, post bars, etc., he rarely touches them. In addition to constantly consuming sugar, his biggest interest is to read books and newspapers or write some mystery articles. It's just that when he stayed at his cousin's house a year ago, Zhen Shifeng more or less played the holographic virtual projection shooting game "True Lies", which was also developed by Sky Company.

The reason why he came into contact with this game for the first time is that True Lies is the world's first holographic virtual projection game, a revolutionary achievement that has caused countless game freaks to be excited, and it has also laid a solid foundation for Sky to become the leader in the gaming industry. Now "Hall of Stranges" is the company's second holographic game after "True Lies", and as soon as the closed beta news came out, the limited edition exclusive game capsule was almost sold out in a day, and it received rave reviews. It can be seen that Sky's strength and status have completely surpassed other game companies of the same level, especially the pioneering company that claims to be the second largest game giant.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhen Shifeng, and his pursuit of games only comes from the needs of work and the stimulation of curiosity.

Back to the personal login center, Zhen Shifeng first browsed his friend list (now there is only one person), and found that his cousin Liu Ming was not online, and then he began to clean up the spam text messages in his mailbox, which are nothing more than fixed messages sent by Sky Company about celebrating the internal beta of the game, and will receive dozens of messages every hour, and if you don't clean it up, it will keep popping up prompts, which is quite annoying. The biggest headache is that the email in the closed beta does not have a quick function of 'clean all up', and you have to click to delete them one by one. After more than ten minutes, Zhen Shifeng finally cleaned up all these spam text messages. Fortunately, the ratio of time between the game and reality is only ten to one, and these ten minutes are only a few minutes in reality, although it is not a waste of time, but it is an extremely waste of energy.

However, at this moment, a prompt suddenly popped up in the storage room column [You have an item that you haven't viewed yet]. This prompt also popped up when I was dealing with the email just now, but it was deleted by Zhen Shifeng, which is mostly the basic props that the system randomly gives to each player in the closed beta stage, and will be sent directly to the player's personal storage, this kind of situation is not uncommon in other games, so it didn't attract his attention too much. And now Zhen Shifeng clicked on the prompt again, and the system tone sounded immediately [about to switch to the storage room mirror, please ...... later]

In a short time, the surrounding mirrored walls were replaced by dark steel walls, and the light gradually dimmed, and several neat rows of cargo racks appeared around them, on which many things could be stored. As for the virtual display board still erected in the center of the room, there is an additional 'open' prompt behind the storage room column on the board, and the location of the unviewed items has been pointed out 'second row and third shelf'.

According to the prompt, Zhen Shifeng quickly found the second row and No. 3 shelf, but the unknown items in front of him really surprised him, and he even had the idea of quitting the game directly. True, the unknown item turned out to be a leather file bag that Vodka had given him with the contents of the commission and the reward.

"Isn't what happened last night a hallucination?" Zhen Shifeng, who was in a panic, wanted to calm down his mood as much as possible, and after taking two deep breaths, he connected what happened before and after and carefully analyzed it from an outsider's point of view, and finally came to the only possibility, that is, the client vodka was actually the top management of Sky Company, and he completed the strange conversation with himself last night through the manipulation of the game, in fact, everything was still in the game. As for why the game simulates the real environment of one's own home, this is probably related to the game cabin specially developed by Sky Company, and it may be possible to install a miniature scanner or monitor on it, and it is not difficult to do this with the strength and status of Sky Company.

Thinking of this, Zhen Shifeng suddenly felt that he had been on the thief ship, and it was very likely that there was a point of no return waiting for him. If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will be worried and unable to sleep at night, but our Brother Feng suddenly became interested in this, after all, the curiosity and the nature of death are not for fun. The more complicated and tricky the matter, the more he wants to discover the secrets himself, which is how a detective should react when facing difficulties.

In this way, Zhen Shifeng decided to open the file bag first, but in addition to a worn-out black book, there was only a neatly folded parchment letterhead. Obviously, the black book was the one-third of the payment that Vodka had mentioned, and the parchment letter must have been the content of the entrusted mission.

When I opened the parchment letterhead, there was only a simple and clear sentence in it [Searching for the Sequence of Truth Hidden in the World]

"Sequence of truth?" Zhen Shifeng heard this term for the first time, "Could it be that it is a prop or a treasure in the game?" He examined the sentence carefully, but found something strange, "hidden in the world...... Does it mean hidden in a script? No, according to the female ghost, there will be a common overworld between these scripts, that is, the sequence of truth is hidden in the overworld? ”

"Truth, sequence, these two words seem strange when taken apart, and it is easier to understand a prop than a code or program. But ......" Zhen Shifeng analyzed from the perspective of the client: "If I am a senior executive of a game company, would I be interested in a certain piece of equipment in the game or the program code of the game?" Apparently not. ”

"The person seeking help is unlikely to seek help without a purpose, much less to make it more difficult to minister by making it so vague that the person is not going to be able to help, and the same is true of commissioning unless the person is well fed."

"To sum up, although the content of the commission is so vague, it must be within the scope of my cognition, otherwise wouldn't it be difficult for a strong man?" After a series of thoughts, Zhen Shifeng finally abandoned all previous speculations and inferences, and took 'the ship to the bridgehead naturally straight' as the code of conduct for this commissioned work, in other words, ...... It's good to take one step at a time. After all, there is no time limit in the commissioned content, and the game is considered to be performing the job in addition to the game, so there is no conflict between the two. In this way, it seems that this entrusted task can be described as quite free, and I also have the opportunity to get in touch with this amazing game that has been hyped up, and I don't play it for nothing (the reason why he doesn't classify online games as entertainment life, is very important: nomoney).

The goal has been set, and then Zhen Shifeng picked up the black book as a one-third reward, of course he was really dissatisfied with this, how could a broken prop book in the game be compared to money in reality? But at this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded, and rows of explanatory text appeared on the surface of the black book:

[Item Name: Book of Demon Hunters]

【Level: Legendary】

[Function: Temporarily locked]

[Notes: A powerful book of darkness sealed with a devouring demon containing a death crystal in its body.] cough cough cough ...... Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway, because it was just randomly picked up from the street for ten dollars.]

When he saw the word 'legend', Zhen Shifeng was excited on the spot, after all, the legend-level props in the game are simply a super artifact, which is thousands of times stronger than the electric toothbrush that claims to be an artifact. However, the 'temporary lock' in the function section really gave him a merciless slap in the face, in other words, this artifact can only be used after the official open beta.

"Well, hopefully the remaining two-thirds won't disappoint me." Zhen Shifeng reluctantly left the book in the storage room with the letterhead, taking up too much space on his body, and he went directly back to the virtual display board and clicked the return button.

However, the moment I returned to my personal center, the system prompt sounded again [Your friend 'Fire Tong Liu Ming' is requesting a call......]
