Chapter 14: The Game Comes
After Xi Wutong said those words, she didn't say more, she left in a hurry, and the last words left were:
"There are quite a few cases with similar situations, I was seconded to Fucheng this time, there are also reasons for this, I know that Mr. Qin, you will also participate in the investigation, I hope we can have good cooperation, these cases cannot be made public, there are not many resources I can call, Mr. Qin, if you plan to go back to Xiajiang Village to investigate, I hope you can contact me."
In the end, Qin Manjiang agreed to her request.
In front of knowing that there is another side in this world, Qin Manjiang is already doubting the real reason for Lao Qin's suicide, not to mention that now, in addition to Lao Qin, even his adoptive mother, who has long lost her impression, has also died like this.
Now there is only one clue - Qin is satisfied.
She is currently the only suspect to be witnessed.
After checking the news about his hometown of Xiajiang Village on the Internet, Qin Manjiang found out that it turned out to be ...... His hometown has long been a famous place for strange stories in the Fucheng area.
People commit suicide every year, and the way of suicide is exactly the same, although the news has not been officially announced to the public, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and some news from the inside of Xiajiang Village immediately made Xiajiang Village a check-in place for some strange talk lovers and adventure lovers.
But except for the thunderous suicide every year, there are no other strange things happening in Xiajiang Village.
Becoming a strange legend has brought unexpected benefits, and more and more people have come to this poor country in recent years, and under the acquiescence of all parties, the strange name of Xiajiang Village has become more and more loud.
It's just that Qin Manjiang, who doesn't care much about everything, doesn't know.
When he got home and opened the door, it was only now that Qin Manjiang really had a little time for himself.
Tonight it was very windy, and the dark clouds squeezed the sky, and it seemed as if it was about to fall, and it looked like it was going to rain again.
The damp wind peeks in through the window, bringing an unsettling atmosphere to the silent night.
The mobile phone was placed on the desk, and Qin Manjiang sat at the table, supporting his chin with one hand, quietly looking at Fucheng in the night.
He suddenly realized that he, like the father and son in the cinema, had never been accepted by this huge city.
The people he knew, the people who knew him, and the connection to society were being severed.
Human beings are social animals, and it is difficult for everyone to detach themselves from others and social existence.
Qin Manjiang occasionally wonders, what do people rely on to exist in this world?
If there is no one in the world who knows him, then in a sense there is no difference between that person and non-existence.
A gust of wind blew in through the window, blowing Qin Manjiang's gradually growing hair a little messy.
Old Qin is gone, Li Xi is dead, and Qin is satisfied with losing his memory of the past.
The people who are closest to him are all gone.
At the university, he's going to drop out.
He didn't deceive the squad leader, and from the moment Li Xi threw him out of the fire, Qin Manjiang had already come to his senses.
There was no way for him to go back to his normal life.
In this game, he can only win all the way.
There is no reward, no choice, failure – death – is death.
Qin Manjiang subconsciously helped his glasses, but found that the bridge of his nose was empty.
Right...... The pair of glasses was lost, just like Li Xi, and they were lost in the past.
Qin Manjiang raised his head and looked at the black oppressive sky, the oppressive atmosphere, the slightly cold wind, his hair fluttering in the wind, under the silent night, a trace of bright white oozed from the deep cloud cracks, the moon was still there, and the moonlight seemed to be dripping down with the memories of the past.
Li Xi, you are really cunning.
The people who are still alive carry everything that has disappeared, Lao Qin, his adoptive mother, and Li Xi, the heavy memory is pressed on Qin Manjiang's heart, he doesn't dare to forget, because he knows that once they forget, they will really die.
With a sigh of relief, Qin Manjiang got up and closed the window.
Fucheng is still Fucheng, it will not change for anyone.
The old connection in his body has been completely broken, and there will be no one in this world who cares about him.
Qin Manjiang himself didn't want to experience that feeling anymore, and in the rest of his life, he had to make a break with this game.
Outside the window, it was darker and the clouds were thick.
"Boom-" After a thunderclap, the rain poured down.
Qin Manjiang had already closed the window, but at this moment he had some leisure.
The raindrops were dense, and the white fog rose on the streets.
The light and shadow of the street lamps are blurred into dots, dotting the whole city hazy and illusory, and it doesn't look very real.
Just like that game.
The opposite of the material world appeared in his life and changed the trajectory of his life in a short period of time.
At this time, the phone rang.
Picked up the phone and glanced at the number, it was the Tiannan Road Branch.
"Hello, I'm Qin Manjiang."
"Classmate Qin, your sister was involved in a murder case, we assessed her mental state, and the procuratorate decided not to prosecute. However, her current state is not suitable for social life, and we will send her to Mianshan Psychiatric Hospital, and we hope that you will accompany her tomorrow and sign her opinion. ”
"Do you have to be sent to a psychiatric hospital?"
"Yes, at the very least, it is necessary to obtain a professional evaluation to determine that the mental state is stable before it can be placed in the custody of the family."
"Okay, I see, I'll be there."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
The phone hung up.
Outside the window, the night rain was pouring down, and the raindrops of beans hit the canopy with a crackling sound.
Qin's satisfactory handling result was expected by Qin Manjiang.
Although it was decided not to prosecute after assessing her mental state, in fact, the murder case was too bizarre, and Qin's satisfactory alibi was real, she had completely forgotten the past now, and sending her to a psychiatric hospital was indeed the best choice.
Let's get her out later.
There are too many doubts on Qin Satisfaction, and Qin Manjiang is now very suspicious of whether the link two years ago was opened by Qin Satisfaction.
There is also the murder of Xiajiang Village, Lao Qin's death, and everything around her seems to be related to her.
Qin Manjiang didn't put down his phone, but hovered his thumb over the icon of the strange game.
He hadn't seriously looked at everything about this game.
Just as he was about to order it, Qin Manjiang's breathing became inexplicably short, his heart began to heat up, and the whole world seemed to be soaked in water at this moment, and everything around him began to writhe strangely......
A sign of the start of the game?!
Qin Manjiang endured the severe discomfort and clicked into the mobile phone screen.
[Game Release, Players Assemble]
[Welcome to the world of strange talks]
Lines of red fonts appeared on the screen, Qin Manjiang's wheezing became more and more intense, and his left hand was propped up on the desk, trembling uncontrollably.

Crimson names appear one after another.
In the dark of night, in different cities.
Someone is on the top floor of a skyscraper, frowning at his phone in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.
Some are in the gorgeous bathtub, holding their mobile phones with their hands folded.
Some of them were halfway through filming, and hurriedly returned to the RV with their mobile phones.
Some whistle and walk in circles in the rain in raincoats.
Some were lying on park benches, cigarette butts clearly extinguished......
The chosen one was shocked in his heart, and his expression was ugly.
The ecstasy of not being selected continued, and his eyes glowed red.
There are many kinds of people in the world, and so on.
However, to everyone's surprise, in general, this damn game will only release two at the same time, one multiplayer, and one challenge.
But this time...... After the announcement of the players of the challenge mode, a new interface popped up!
