Chapter 26: The Secret Keeper's Five Finger Mountain

Underground parking.

In the dim white light, Bai Shaobao passed between hundreds of cars and walked towards a secluded corner.

He looked at his mobile phone, and the most recent one was a text message from Chen Qiang, "Stay connected when the signal is good."

He thought for a second.

"Keeper, are you there?" Bai Shaobao said in a low voice.

There was no response.

"Keeper of the Secret, can the player use the form of questions to confirm if the Keeper of Secrets still exists?"

[No, you can't.] The cold mechanical sound sounded.

"Oh." The corners of Bai Shaobao's mouth curled up an arc without smiling.

[Similar questions will not be guaranteed to be answered in the future.] This mechanical tone was said by Chen Qiang.

The system doesn't answer the exact same question repeatedly, but it doesn't necessarily or bother to do so when it's a complex synonym.

Can't let Xiaobai feel that the system can be led by the nose.

"I see. Can you give a definition of what it means to be 'of the same kind'? ”

[......] Silence.

Bai Shaobao nodded slightly.

For him, who couldn't see the results of the dice, the game was so real that it made one wonder if he had entered a virtual reality game or if his consciousness had been implanted in another person's body.

There is no interface, only the presence of the "Secret Keeper" can make him feel that this is a game and not a reality.

In this immersive MAX game, the voice assistant-like "secret keeper" is the least intelligent.

Is the "Secret Keeper" an AI, or is it the same as the last time Chen Qiang took it out, and Xiaoxue started a group game, is it a person?

There's a famous saying in the action game world that says this –

If you hesitate, you will lose!

"I'm sorry, Brother Chen."

Bai Shaobao, he decisively turned off the phone completely.

There is no other reason, I just don't want to answer Chen Qiang's phone call later, and keep talking to Chen Qiang.

The basement is a good excuse. Even if you bump into Chen Qiang, you can lie and say where your phone has fallen.

It's not that he doubts Chen Qiang's character, but Bai Shaobao really doesn't want to bet his customs clearance hopes on Chen Qiang, who has no details.

Bai Shaobao didn't believe that this kind of technology, which was comparable to the "main god space", would let them play unattended.

Chen Qiang is the CEO of the "Fortress of Reason", and he has come up with almost the same rules of the game in advance.

If there is an undercover agent among our investigators, then Chen Qiang's suspicion is the greatest!

Of course.

For the company that can develop this technology, he is a small shrimp that can be kneaded by others, and even if he declares his withdrawal to the keeper of secrets, he can't escape.

But even so, I, Bai Shaobao, don't want to, go down the main line you arranged!

As long as it's a sand game, don't let me follow the plot! Didn't you ask me to test the bug? I'll test whether this sand table can give a reasonable reaction when players don't play cards according to common sense!

It's just that the information at the moment is too insufficient. It is necessary to get as much information as possible before the banquet begins.

He walked to the emergency evacuation staircase in the corner.

[Bai Shaobao listened to 56/61 success]

"Hmm!"

The sound of the stairs made him suddenly hold his breath.

……

Sister Qiu sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby and drank a glass of brandy handed to her by Tu Lizhu. I have to say that this classical British therapy is very useful, and Sister Qiu's breathing is getting more and more stable.

"Xiao Tu, come over here." Chen Qiang pulled Tu Lizhu aside.

"Sister Qiu still needs to take care of ......"

"You take this," Chen Qiang looked around to make sure no one was paying attention here, and stuffed the Kahr-MK9 into Tu Lizhu's pocket, "And this." ”

He handed out another sharp blade.

"Huh? This is ......."

"It's all Sister Qiu's things," Chen Qiang said, "Look at her lost soul, you can keep the pistol and put it in your bag for self-defense, and give the blade to Sister Qiu." ”

"But ......"

"I still have a blade."

[Chen Qiang listens to 63/70 success]

"I heard the sound of the police car," Chen Qiang said gently, "I will trouble you to accept the police questioning in the name of the owner of the car later, and I will go in first." ”

He turned around and brushed shoulders with a guest, nearly knocking him to the ground.

"Look at the little road......" the man muttered, glaring at Chen Qiang with a "You don't have long eyes". Chen Qiang ignored his indignation at all and strode forward.

"Hmm......"

Only Chen Qiang himself knows: he is staring at the air in front of him on the surface, but he is actually carrying out a "split-screen" operation in his field of vision.

Just as he can hear all of the player's questions to the "Secret Keeper", he can monitor the current field of view of all investigators with a display in his field of view that is invisible to others, or select an investigator to synchronize the sounds he can hear.

And when the investigator says the word "keeper", he will be prompted anyway.

The investigators wanted to use Chen Qiang's back to do some small tricks, but they still thought too much.

Bai Shaobao has been on guard against the big boss behind Chen Qiang's scenes, but he didn't expect it at all......

Chen Qiang himself is the big boss behind the scenes.

"Sister Qiu and Xiao Tu stayed in the lobby."

"Xiaobai and Shi Li's positions are both stopped underground...... Going to converge? ”

……

Underground parking.

Bai Shaobao took out his shotgun from his golf bag.

Crouching down, he began to move silently in the direction of the stairs.

[Bai Shaobao's sneaking 7/55 success]

There was the sound of a fight on the landing of the staircase...... One man and one woman.

Don't think crookedly, it's a fight in the literal sense of the word.

The light was extremely dim, making it difficult for Bai Shaobao to see the faces of the two men clearly.

[Bai Shaobao's investigation 34/75 was successful]

So Bai Shaobao noticed.

The woman...... It's Shi Li.

……

[Alison Smith Martial Arts Check 74/75 Success]

【??? Evasion check failed 31/30]

[DAMAGE 1D3=2]

Shi Li, who didn't know that her dice just now was a little demon, punched out and hit the man's nose. The man let out an "ahh

【??? Combat check 33/35 success】

[Allison Smith dodge check 29/52 success]

Shi Li turned her head to the side, and easily dodged the man's angry attack, and then-

The man only heard the whirring wind behind his head, and instinctively lowered his head, only to see a tall Oriental man in a suit with a fierce look, holding a rifle, waving the butt of the rifle at the back of his head.

Man: "??? ”

Dude, where did you come from, why don't you just hit me!

[Bai Shaobao martial arts test 77/51 failed]

Although he dodged Bai Shaobao's gun butt, the man who was hit from the front and back sat on the ground in embarrassment.

"Help......" the man wanted to cry out.

[Alison Smith Fighting Skill Test 7/75 Success]

【??? Dodge check 79/35 failed】

Shi Li had already locked the man's throat. Now there is no need for verification, and the last scene in the man's eyes is fixed on the butt of the gun that Bai Shaobao waved.
