Sunday, June 5th.

The list of the top 32 of the Star Cup is hotly released.

Most of the group members were on the list, but the bald 'Iron Wall King Kong' was unlucky, and he was defeated with hatred when he matched the heavy sword without a blade.

The attention of the two belongs to the top 64 matches, and the official special arrangement for commentary and broadcasting, and some less famous players will simply announce the battle report.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiao inquired about the results of yesterday's battle report.

In the battle report, I saw many familiar names, and 'Qingkui' was impressively listed.

Most of the player IDs in the battle report are strange, and it's normal for 'Qingkui' to be counted.

What else is there [3D area can't lose Tifa] [I'm the sixth] [Houli Crab]......

Lin Xiao coughed dryly:

"Fortunately, I didn't pat my head when I chose the name, otherwise it would be easy to be nervous when I read the ID."

Players are asked to name at least like a person!

I searched the forum for discussion posts in the round of 64, and there are many posts related to the epee man, and most of the players discuss his amazing anti-reflex technology.

"Better at turtle shell flow than "Iron Wall King Kong", this man has no flaws."

"The timing of the block is so amazing, it's like opening the hanging."

"Playing well is hanging? (Dog's head saves life)"

The schedule of the Star Cup is very tight, and after the round of 64 yesterday, the matchup schedule for the round of 32 was announced today.

Lin Xiao herself is matched with a fourth-order card master, the pressure is not very great, and she is sure of steadily advancing to the top 16.

There are a lot of prediction posts on the forum, and one of them is a post discussing the outcome of the recent [Snow Drink Knife vs Source Shougang].

It's related to Brother Dao... Lin Xiao's heart moved slightly, and she clicked on this post.

The top 32 match and the Snow Drink Knife duel, named [Yuan Shougang], is a traveling card master from the country of floating cherry blossoms.

He was covered in purple samurai armor, precious and sturdy, like a samurai of the ancient daimyo of Ukizakura, and the Ukizakura sword was worn at his waist, a tool that 'swords are one', so it can also be said that he was good at swordsmanship.

The post discussed: "The purple samurai armor of Yuan Shougang is the possession form of his appliance card." ”

"Does anyone know the exact name of his trump card?"

"It has not been announced, it is said to be one of the 'Five Swords of the Floating Sakura World', epic quality, real dripping batch!"

The five swords in the world, the floating cherry national treasure-level equipment, the five swords have profound historical allusions and legends, and they have killed monsters, which are of epic quality.

Lin Xiao remembered that Brother Dao's trump card was the 'Snow Drinking Crazy Knife', which was also of epic quality, but it was only of the fourth order at present.

Facing the unclear details of the source Shougang, Brother Dao is really a little hanging......

According to the game arrangement, there will be a [Qingkui vs Cage Scarecrow] showdown tomorrow, because there is no live broadcast, so the number of followers is small.

"Let's go to the branch venue tomorrow and watch her showdown."

Lin Xiao groaned slightly: "After all, the difficulty of the top 32 has surged, and it is necessary to cheer for the rich woman on the list." ”

The weather outside the window was sunny, Lin Xiao sat at the card-making table, inspected the growth of the Meteorite Sword, and said softly:

"Five swords in the floating cherry blossom world... How does it compare to you? ”

Lin Xiao tried to inject source power into the pitch-black greatsword, and the red lines were hot and red.

Meteor Sword: (. -w-)

To put it simply... It's five broken copper and iron.

Lin Xiao could roughly understand the meaning of the Falling Star Sword's domineering, but if he wanted to translate it more accurately, he had to forge a closer bond.

"I hope that in the future, I can awaken the talent of card masters such as 'telepathy'......" Lin Xiao said in her heart.

Through the duel in the past few days, the level of the Falling Star Sword has only increased by 1 level, to level 61.

The cultivation of the sixth-order gold card is really difficult.

Lin Xiao was not in a hurry, stretched his waist, and looked back.

The fat Dafu lay on the carpet with his head up, holding a mobile phone in his hand, staring intently.

On the screen of the mobile phone are cartoons from the last century, telling stories about sailing.

Daifuku's eyes sparkled, and he was very happy to see it: "Oh... (?ˉ?ˉ?)”

Please call me, Captain Seal!

Syllable.

Lin Xiao reached out and patted Dafuku's fat-deposited little belly, and his voice was crisp.

"Woo!" The little seal is furious, or leopard fury for short.

Daifuku tried to get up, get up... Failed to get up, turned his back to Lin Xiao, and sighed resentfully.

Lin Xiao smiled: "Little seal, don't think about curling your belly, okay, I'll invite you to eat fish." ”

"Woo!" Daifuku's eyes lit up.

"In the river, catch it yourself." Lin Xiao said.

"Oh... (???)” The leopard is speechless event.

Cut, I'll do it myself, plenty of food and clothing...

……

…

Queen's Road, Investigation Team.

A man in a suit and leather shoes passed by the archway and heard a call.

"Raven." Margaret stood in front of the mahogany double doors and said, "There's something you need to investigate. ”

Chu Yun frowned and nodded slightly.

"Recently, in Xingtu City, there was a case of 'the card master lost consciousness and mobility, fell unconscious, and became a vegetative person'."

"And 3,000 kilometers away in the Golden State, a similar case was also found."

At the huge rosewood writing desk, Margaret sat in the boss's chair, pushed the document to the man standing in front of her, and said:

"One thing they all have in common is that they suddenly fell into a coma while lying in the virtual pod and playing the 'source world', and there was no movement during the period, and they were not discovered until much later."

"Virtual cabin, source world......" Chu Yun chewed on the noun.

Margaret crossed her hands and said:

"The two patients, one of whom is a third-order travel card master, lived in a rental house, and his girlfriend came to the door the next day to find him unconscious, unconscious for more than 48 hours."

"At that time, she called an ambulance to take her boyfriend to the hospital, and the doctor concluded that it was "virtual game dizziness", which causes people to vomit, dizziness, headaches and other symptoms. ”

Chu Yun said: "However, it is impossible for 'virtual game vertigo' to make the card master a vegetative person. ”

Margaritt's head:

"It's a pity that this case has not attracted the attention of the hospital."

"It wasn't until yesterday that a fourth-order card maker broke his contract due to the expiration of time, and the customer called the police, and the police came to the door to find the card maker lying in the virtual cabin, which was related to the case in Xingtu City."

Margaret said: "Due to the rarity of the situation and the fact that two card masters are involved, the case is relatively large, so it was reported to us for processing. ”

"There have been third-order and fourth-order card masters who have become vegetative, and the symptoms are all similar......" Chu Yun frowned, "Could it be related to the Demon God?" ”

"I've sent someone to check, the two patients' routes of action, there is no possibility of intersecting with the demon god, and their only point of overlap ......"

Margaret pushed a tablet: "They have all participated in the knockout round of the Star Cup, and they met the same player, [Cage Scarecrow]. ”

Chu Yun looked down at the tablet in front of him and reached out to touch the play button.

In the picture, there is no commentary, and there are few audiences.

In a gloomy urban venue, night covers the alleys.

The camera shows a figure dressed in straw, wearing a scarecrow mask, poking open two eye holes, cutting open his mouth and grinning to the root of his ears, standing at the end of the alley.

Then, a dagger with burning green fire appeared in the palm of the scarecrow's hand, and green fire erupted from the holes in his eyes and mouth, and he threw the dagger violently.

His opponent, the third-order card master, was hit in the shoulder by a dagger, and the expression on his face changed from disdain to dazed to frightened.

The whole body turns into light particles... No, it's powdery white shavings that drift away in the dark alleys.

The scarecrow approached, picked up the darkening dagger, and glanced back at the camera with a hole in his face, and the picture froze.

"What do you mean...... Scarecrow scarecrow through the Internet to coma death? ”

Chu Yun said calmly: "This is the same as a third-rate detective, it is too magical. ”

Margaret smiled slightly, her eyes shining: "We were born in a magical age...... Besides, you and I don't know what the 'Source World' is. ”

She lowered her gaze and said with a smile: "I don't know why the card master can use the fire to take the card away from a virtual online game, and I don't know why the power of the card can also be used in the virtual online game." ”

"Thinking about it this way, card fallen, it is not beyond my acceptance to be able to commit crimes through virtual online games." Margaret said.

Chu Yun took out the cigarette case and looked at Margaret, she nodded slightly.

Syllable.

Chu Yun frowned, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath:

"Xinghuo Group, are you willing to disclose the user data of the scarecrow?"

"It's a pity." Margaret said, "It will not disclose the data of any single user unless there is insufficient evidence." ”

"Isn't it okay if [the investigation team] intervenes? Query the data of the scarecrow's cards, and you can draw conclusions. Chu Yun asked.

Margaret shrugged: "At least I failed... I'm afraid that when the countryman is coming, he will have to touch his nose. ”

"Or, there's another possibility." Margaret smiled, "The Spark Group only has user data in its hands...... The real core data related to the card is collected on the server. ”

"Server." Chu Yun frowned and said, "You mean the Candle Dragon Network?" ”

"I don't know......," Margaret twitched her fingertips to the scarecrow on the screen, "but he must know something, so we need to collect evidence and hand it over to the Spark Group, so that it can reveal the specific address of the scarecrow and search the door." ”

Chu Yun said: "What should I do." ”

"Get Qing Kui." Margaret said, "As far as I know, she participated in the Star Cup and broke into the top 32, and it was [Cage Scarecrow] who faced her in the next round." ”

"Do you want to persuade her to abandon the race...... Chu Yun asked in a low voice.

Margaret crossed her fingers and said calmly:

"I'll ask her for her advice and let her continue to fight the scarecrow to gather evidence and intelligence."

Chu Yun said: "You know, with the character of that temporary worker, it is impossible to refuse-"

Margaret looked at Chu Yun, didn't say anything, and pushed the cigarette tray over.

"I'm sorry." Chu Yun extinguished the cigarette, "I'm just ......"

Chu Yun's eyes flickered, and he couldn't finish speaking.

It's okay to say that I have a double standard...... I just don't want to see familiar people sacrifice anymore.

"I can understand, but the investigation team is like that, since you join, you have to make an awareness."

Margaret said, "When faced with the card master and the monster, you must first become cruel... Okay, go find Qingkui over, and then get ready to support her with Sigrid and Lin Xiao. ”

Sigrid's hacking skills and healing abilities are among the best in the investigation team, although Chu Yun and Lin Xiao can't do anything, but when Qingkui and Scarecrow face off in the virtual world, they can provide care in the outside world.

Get out of the office.

Chu Yun looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself:

"Starry Sky Cup...... Scarecrow ......"

Lin Xiao, I'm afraid your vacation will end early.
