Chapter 5 The Changming Incident

Previous Chapter

readx; On Thursday, Zhao Qi's class was class-free. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 However, many people choose to go to the simulated battlefield or the 'spirit world' to exercise their abilities. Simulated battlefield is a more formal and official login system, usually set up in some educational institutions or large enterprises, these equipment is expensive, but the effect is very significant. The Spirit Realm is a more game-oriented simulation system, developed with the theme of spirit invasion. Both of these systems are very popular because they can improve personal abilities relatively well.

Today, Zhao Qi plans to go to find Boss Xu, and he will arrive in about fifteen minutes after going out on a motorcycle. Speaking of Boss Xu, Zhao Qi and him still have a bit of a story.

A year ago, a corpse killed 30 people in the streets of Kamigawa Changmei, and after this incident, Kamigawa City fell into a panic. The police cordoned off the scene, and at the request of the police, Zhao Qi's academy sent ten students from the Shenji Academy to enter the scene, and these ten students were all top-ranked students. On the one hand, the police need to know what happened, but they are limited by their technology and knowledge and cannot analyze anything. On the other hand, the selected students were very curious about this incident, so they all agreed to help, and the college often sent students out to assist, which can be regarded as a kind of exercise for students. Zhao Qi, a second-year student, partnered with a senior of a sixth-grader at the time, and this senior was named Cheng Han.

This is not the first time that Zhao Qi has been dispatched, but this time the incident is quite bizarre. According to the oral accounts of the people around at that time, there was no Void Array, and what appeared was the spirit corpse of F1. To some extent, the spirit corpse of F1 is already the highest level of the spirit corpse, and it is impossible for this level of spirit to escape the scanning of the spirit net within the scope of Shenchuan City. Because the flow of people in the vicinity was too large, the police could not investigate one by one even if they called the Tianyan system, so the police turned to the Shenluo Group, the world's No. 1 magic technology company at the time.

Hoping to find clues from the scene, the HRE Group asked the police to provide ten professional personnel to assist, which led to the fact that Zhao Qi was sent to assist.

Zhao Qi and Cheng Han were responsible for talking to people from several nearby shops, and at the same time, they also tested the surrounding environment, trying not to miss a clue. Among them was the owner of a shop, and Boss Xu provided some clues at the time, targeting a private clinic. However, the clinic was sealed off by the HRE Group, and the HRE Group employees could be seen busy coming in and out.

Boss Xu said: "You are still students of Kamigawa University, you are very young and amazing. ā€

"Boss Xu, you're joking, we really want to check the clues you provided, but the clinic is blocked, and we have no way of knowing the specific situation." Zhao Qi was very helpless.

Cheng Han asked, "Boss Xu, was there really no Void Array around here at that time?" Cheng Han still felt incredible, how did this spirit corpse come here.

Boss Xu said: "There was really no at that time, the spirit corpse was lying in the alley, that place happened to be the dead corner of the eye of the sky, a passerby was caught by the spirit corpse, at first I thought it was a beggar or something like a human being, I didn't care, but when he was bitten, he found out that it was a spirit corpse, this spirit corpse is very contagious, and it only takes about three minutes for a person to completely lose his mind from being bitten." ā€

"Three minutes!" Zhao Qi and Cheng Han both exclaimed. Generally, being bitten by a spirit corpse is basically a dead end, but the time from being bitten to losing your mind is about an hour, of course, this is for the lowest-level F10 spirit corpse, if the ability is enhanced, the time will be reduced, and the infection time of F1 is about twenty minutes, so Zhao Qi and Cheng Han will be so concerned about this point in time that they can't control their shouting.

Cheng Han muttered to himself: "Could it be that something has happened to the spirit corpse?" Indeed, in such a short period of time, Zhao Qi is also the first time to hear about it, and there is no information about this in the past materials.

Zhao Qi asked, "But how did that spirit corpse get to the alley?" Could it be that the corpses were still human before they reached the alley? Otherwise, how could he dodge the scanning of the spirit net? ā€

"According to the clues I know, the Sky Eye around here has not found anything suspicious in three days. If the spirit corpse was a human at that time, the police did not have any information about the entry and exit of this person after comparing the clothes, which means that this spirit corpse appeared out of thin air. You may ask him if he was wearing makeup and disguise at that time, but according to the flow of people, accurate to each person, this spirit corpse is more than one person. Boss Xu squinted and said.

Zhao Qi and Cheng Han both frowned, extra? Could it be that it was transported like a cargo? Moreover, the transporters used a blindfold to evade Skynet's scanning.

Zhao Qi noticed that Boss Xu seemed to know and was most interested in this matter compared to other witnesses, and couldn't help but ask, "Boss Xu, you seem to be particularly interested in today's incident?" ā€

Boss Xu was obviously stunned, and then laughed and said, "Of course, isn't it a mecha-related industry that I'm engaged in?" ā€

"It turned out to be a senior, and it was rude." Zhao Qi hurriedly apologized, apologizing for his suspicion just now.

Cheng Han didn't think much about it, and the two couldn't draw any conclusions if they asked, and there were not many valuable clues, so they had to report the relevant information to the person in charge of the Shenluo Group and the police, hoping that others would find something.

Cheng Han was in charge of sorting out the information and left early. Zhao Qi was also about to leave, but at this time, Boss Xu stepped forward and said, "Little friend, if you are free, you can come to our store to sit." ā€

Zhao Qi was stunned, Zhao Qi was not a stupid person, and he could naturally hear the voice outside the words. From this tone alone, it can be seen that Boss Xu seems to have something to keep, which is like wanting to make friends in private.

Three days later, the Changming incident was closed. Zhao Qi and the others were puzzled, feeling that nothing had been investigated clearly, so how could the case be closed. The official explanation is: This spirit corpse entered the streets of Changming by coincidence, and it is also an oversight that the spirit net was not scanned, I hope the general public will not worry.

Can such an explanation be believed? After Zhao Qi heard such an official explanation, he slapped the table directly. It seems that there is a lot of information in this, and the explanation after the fact is either out of political considerations, or it is to keep secrets or protect the interests of certain people. Zhao Qi was very unwilling, but there was not much information in his hands that could understand this case. The doubts in Zhao Qi's heart became bigger and bigger, and he suddenly remembered Boss Xu's words and went straight to Changming Street.

Boss Xu's shop is quite large, and Zhao Qi visually measured that the store is more than 1,000 square meters, not counting some storage in the back, basements and other places. The impact of this incident is slowly fading, after all, the official has given an explanation, ordinary people have no choice but to believe, speaking of this incident, because of Boss Xu's mecha shop, it helped a lot, so he delayed the attack of the spirit corpse, otherwise he was afraid that the number of deaths would be doubled.

Zhao Qi came to Boss Xu's shop, and after explaining his intention, the clerk took Zhao Qi directly to Boss Xu's office and said, "Boss Xu has been waiting for you for a long time. ā€

"Zhao Xiaoyou, you're finally here." Because of work before, Zhao Qi didn't pay too much attention to Boss Xu's personal appearance and dress, etc., and visited privately this time. I still want to emphasize that Boss Xu is from Pingshan Province. People are a little chubby, but the face is very atmospheric, and it is the kind of face that gives people the impression of being superior at first glance. About forty-five years old, because of this industry, I am also fascinated by mecha. Although he is a person of this age, Boss Xu is actually a person from the star-chasing family, and he likes Qin Qianqian, the owner of the natural life armor who has shown his skills in the past two years.

"Hello Boss Xu, I'm sorry to disturb you this time." Zhao Qi said.

"Where is Zhao Xiaoyou, a young junior like you is so outstanding, Xu has long been looking forward to making friends. You may be seated. Boss Xu said.

"Boss Xu, you seem to know that I will come?" Zhao Qi asked.

Boss Xu laughed and said: "Zhao Xiaoyou, you are a smart person, smart people often don't like to be fooled, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well if you don't want to understand this time." Indeed, as Boss Xu said, Zhao Qi hasn't slept well in the past few days because of this incident, and he is also checking relevant information late at night.

"Can the seniors solve the doubts of the juniors?" Although it was a simple question, Zhao Qi used a consultative tone. Vaguely, Zhao Qi could feel that Boss Xu could give him a different explanation.

"Zhao Xiaoyou, I don't know what you personally think of this incident?" Boss Xu did not answer positively, but asked Zhao Qi instead.

"My view is that the police are covering up something." Zhao Qi said.

"Yes, do you know why I care more about you?" Boss Xu smiled.

Zhao Qi looked at Boss Xu with a puzzled expression, and didn't ask, he knew what Boss Xu would say next.

"You are very conscientious and responsible, and you are the most special existence among all the people in this investigation." Boss Xu said slowly.

"Oh? The younger generation doesn't know how different they are from others. Zhao Qi asked.

"I can tell from your suspicious attitude towards anyone that you don't even let me go." Boss Xu joked.

Zhao Qi was embarrassed to be said, "It's just that I need to work, until the truth surfaces, I will treat it with a fair attitude." ā€

"Interesting, you remind me of an old friend of mine, who is very similar to you in this regard." Boss Xu said, as if he was missing this old friend.

Zhao Qi was very curious and asked, "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet this senior?" ā€

Boss Xu shook his head, "He's no longer here." Instead, he collected his emotions and said, "You guessed correctly, the police are covering up something." ā€

"The direction I told you before pointed to that private clinic, not that the target is there, but to tell you that the spirit I encountered this time is very special, and from my personal point of view, I deduce that someone is engaged in the study of spirit corpses and has made some progress. In other words, this incident is man-made, for the sake of test results. Boss Xu said, he stared at Zhao Qi, he was observing.

"I wonder how my predecessors speculated?" Zhao Qi humbly asked for advice. Boss Xu's explanation has a certain possibility.

"First of all, the failure of the spirit net, how likely do you think it is that the spirit net will fail?" Boss Xu asked, but the admiration for the spirit net was indescribable in his tone.

"The younger generation thinks that if you want to evade the scanning of the spirit net, the spirit corpse will have to do a good job. At the very least, install an anti-spirit net device around the corpse or apply ice spirit water to the surface of the corpse. Zhao Qi said the guess in his heart, although in fact, he felt that there was little hope.

Boss Xu took a sip of tea and said, "That's right, this is an effective way to escape the spirit net, Zhao Xiaoyou is very knowledgeable, and Xu admires it." However, Zhao Xiaoyou should also understand the materials needed for the device of the anti-spirit net, this kind of material is not so easy to get. And the ice spirit water is also very valuable. ā€

As Boss Xu said, it is not impossible to have a device for the anti-spirit network, and the world's top 50 magic technology companies have such a device, because the device needs to use T silver. The value of T copper is more than 20 million Lu Yuan per kilogram in the market price, T copper is the main material for the manufacture of beast-level mechas, and the current acquisition can only be obtained through the refinement of the corpse of the spirit or its own self, and human technology cannot develop the metal of the T series. And T silver is more than fifty times the value of T copper, and at present, it is only rumored that this material may be refined or carried in BC-level spirits, and T silver is the main material for making human-level mechas. And the ice spirit water has an exact record, the liquid refined through the eyes of the spirit, and then mixed and processed, is also a precious anomaly, to make it also needs to be extracted by the spirit within three hours of death, otherwise the effect is not guaranteed. Zhao Qi retold what he knew, and Boss Xu nodded again and again.

"Do you think that if it were these two things, ordinary people would be able to have them?" Boss Xu asked.

"Please also ask the seniors for advice." Zhao Qi is even more humble, it seems that this Boss Xu is also an expert.

"So I speculate that this is an experiment, although I don't know exactly who did it, but I think it has nothing to do with these magic companies, and there must be someone in the government who cooperates." Boss Xu preached unhurriedly. "First of all, we can rule out the possibility of Ice Spirit Water, and we didn't collect any information about Ice Spirit Water at the scene."

Zhao Qi was taken aback, it seems that this Boss Xu is also a very powerful person, and he can even grasp the investigation on the spot.

"And the possibility of an anti-spirit net device is not high, as long as a little investigation or anyone who has learned about it will know that those people will not be so stupid to do such an inconsiderate thing." Boss Xu explained.

Zhao Qi frowned and said, "In this way, doesn't that rule out all the possibilities?" I really can't think of any other way. ā€

Boss Xu took another sip of tea and said, "As long as the spirit network is controlled, then everything will be much easier, what does Zhao Xiaoyou think?" ā€

Zhao Qimao opened suddenly, yes, why didn't he and the others think that if the spirit net was manipulated, then the spirit could be easily avoided. "If that's the case, then it's really possible to do it without knowing it."

"The second is the support at that time, you may not know that when the spirit corpse attack occurred on our side, there was also a D2 Yunze spirit beast attack near the junction of Shenchuan City and Dongmen City, this is a void array, the time is about half an hour earlier than this side, there are just no casualties over there, so the attention is relatively small, plus in the uninhabited area, the battle is basically one-sided." Boss Xu said.

Conspiracy, Zhao Qi felt the **naked conspiracy. Who is so ruthless that he completely cares about the life and death of others. Zhao Qi felt cold in his hands and feet, and the anger in his heart that he couldn't suppress even overflowed on his face.

Boss Xu said: "Isn't it incomprehensible and angry? But you have to hold back. The current era is no longer the era of backward science and technology like before, the rapid development of science and technology has further expanded people's ambitions and **, you may not understand it now, but you must understand that when you have no strength, you can only choose to endure. ā€

Zhao Qi suppressed the anger in his heart, although he still couldn't accept such a fact, but he could still control his emotions. "Isn't it like we can't do anything? Are we just watching them kill innocents? ā€

Boss Xu sighed, Zhao Qi was still too young, and said, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you go and find them out now?" Divine technology companies will withdraw from the land country in large numbers, and once the land country loses the support of these companies, I am afraid that more people will die in the killing of the spirit. ā€

Zhao Qi leaned back in his chair dejectedly, feeling powerless, and for the first time felt that there was a confrontation and contradiction in the view of right and wrong, world view, and values. Although the Land Kingdom is a large country, with a land area of 13 million square kilometers, one-fifth of the area is now occupied by spirits, and two-fifths of the area has the protection of only one beast-level mecha or no mecha protection at all. Kamigawa City has two yellow-level mechas, what a big guarantee. However, in the end, the state could not resist these miracle companies, and could only compromise.

"In the end, the official explanation confirmed my guess." Boss Xu's eyes were very dim, as if he was sad for his own insignificance, and as if he was helpless for the injustice of all beings.

"So you know what you have to do? Zhao Xiaoyou. Boss Xu straightened his emotions.

Zhao Qi nodded and said, "I know what I should do, I have been taught today, and I will never mention today's matter again when I go back." ā€

"That's good, you are still young, you have hope and time, and when you soar into the blue sky, you can do what you can't do now." Boss Xu encouraged. "Come to my side more often when you have time, men study this kind of profession, I guess if you can't fly a mech, you plan to be a mecha maintainer, right? In this way, you will have to come to my side more often, and I can still occasionally meet some mecha owners, maybe you can become an exclusive mecha maintainer, which is much better than what kind of magic company you go to. ā€

Boss Xu's words woke up Zhao Qi, and in the future, Zhao Qi would come to the door to harass Boss Xu when he was really free, and gradually a kind of trust was established between the two. Although I have met some mecha owners, Zhao Qi, a natural mecha owner, has never encountered it, and generally those who come to the store are beast-level mecha or last-level mechas, and the others are some people who come to the door to purchase the list.
