Chapter 15: The Seven Levels

Looking closely, Zhao Xi's black-and-white posthumous photo is not the same as all the posthumous photos obtained by Gao Ming before, the photo is full of folds and cracks, and all traces converge on the chains of Gao Ming and Zhao Xi's arms.

"Those black chains seem to be moving......"

Zhao Xi in the posthumous photo is a little vague, and he seems to be transferring something to Gao Ming through chains.

"The words behind the black-and-white posthumous photos seem to imply to me that if you want to gain Zhao Xi's ability, you must let more people know about his past and let him completely let go of his obsessions."

"But then again, what is Zhao Xi's ability? Jumping off a building and not dying? ”

"There is also a big difference between the posthumous photos, and it seems that I still have a lot of things to explore and experiment."

Gao Ming put away the two posthumous photos, and he was going to wait for the next time he entered the game, he would bring all the posthumous photos with him, try them one by one, and let the family get to know each other.

"I wonder if Qi Yan is still alive? I should remind Zhao Xi and Mr. Yao that there may be a cruel and dangerous rainy night murderer hiding in the apartment building. ”

The lights in the corridor turned on, and Gao Ming returned to the fifth floor, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Xuan Wen fall on her back, knocking the disfigured investigator to the ground.

"Don't you guys teach martial arts?"

The investigator lying on the ground thought that Gao Ming would come to dissuade him, but who knew that Gao Ming's words made his cry for help stuck in his throat: "I, we...... We never shoot at ordinary people! ”

"It's really principled." Gao Ming entered the house, locked the security door, closed the window, and closed the curtains: "Now that no one can hear us, do you want to communicate frankly." ”

Xuan Wen glanced at Gao Ming and changed her angry expression, she clasped the investigator's arm and scolded, "Why did you suddenly appear at my house?" ”

"It's broken! It's going to break! You let go first, I'll tell you slowly! It took a lot of effort for the investigator to get up from the ground: "You two are witnesses and witnesses of the anomalous event, and there is no point in concealing it." ”

He rubbed his wrist and told the two of them about the anomalous events.

"I'm a little strange, you said that there was an abnormal incident in Xinhu half a year ago, why can't you find any information?" Xuan Wen's voice is very good, if she hadn't just been beaten, the investigator would have thought that Xuan Wen was a gentle girl.

"Even investigators who know the various survival rules have only a 34 percent chance of surviving an anomalous event, and the survival rate of ordinary people is less than 1 in 10, and the very small number of ordinary people who survive will be left with serious psychological problems and physical disabilities, and they will be sent to the investigation bureau for free treatment." The investigator looked at Gao Ming: "Because of this, I think he is very powerful and want him to join the Investigation Bureau." ”

"If I don't join, will I be taken away for 'treatment'?" Gao Ming stared at the investigator with "interest".

"No, it won't." The investigator's tone became serious: "You can't hide it, abnormal events will break out on a large scale sooner or later, what we can do now is to make more adequate preparations and responses while delaying the arrival of the disaster." ”

"Can anyone join?" Xuan Wen seemed to have other ideas.

"This friend of yours is very smart, and he is also the bravest person I have ever met, he can save more citizens by joining the Investigation Bureau, but he does encounter all kinds of dangers." The investigator touched his face with some horror: "I became like this because of an anomalous event. And I'm already lucky, and I'm the only investigator who entered at the same time that survived. ”

"I'll think about it." Takamei also doesn't know when the disaster will break out in full force, and joining the Bureau of Investigation seems like a good choice.

"We rush to the front line to face danger, but correspondingly, when danger comes, our rights will also be very large." The investigator gave a small hint of high fate, and then changed the subject: "You may encounter another anomalous event in the future, and this unperfect survival code within us is a gift from me." ”

Sliding the black ring, the investigator asked Gao Ming to take out his mobile phone, and after exchanging contact information with Gao Ming, he sent a document to Gao Ming.

"Anomalous events are classified into seven levels according to severity, danger and destruction." The investigator is very optimistic about Gao Ming and carefully interprets the data for Gao Ming:

"Level 0: Determines that an anomalous event has occurred, but its severity and danger are not present with any of the following behaviors from 1 to 6."

"Level 1: The event exhibits an anomalous phenomenon, but the anomaly does not interfere with real people, does not come into contact with people, and does not affect the normal lives of people in the venue where the event occurred."

"Level 2: The anomalous phenomenon has a significant impact on the person, and the behavior of the person in the event site begins to be abnormal, existing and not limited to mental confusion, perceptual confusion, cognitive confusion, etc. The anomaly is confined to the site where the anomaly occurs, and the person who comes into contact with the anomaly remains sane, and can be dissuaded by others to return to normal after his behavior gets out of control. ”

"Level 3: A specific 'ghost' appears in an anomalous event, the behavior of a person who comes into contact with the anomaly is completely out of control, and begins to commit suicide or attack others, and the person's self-perception is completely assimilated by the anomaly, and close family members are unable to terminate their behavior."

"Level 4: Anomalous events begin to show signs of spreading, and as fear spreads, the area of effect expands. At this stage, the 'ghost' at the heart of the anomalous event begins to grow rapidly, killing, blood, fear, all negative emotions will be eaten by it, and all uneasiness will become its nourishment. ”

"Level 5: The scope of the anomalous event has spread greatly, and the 'ghosts' in the anomalous event have 'matured' and are extremely difficult to kill, and they have taken root in people's hearts."

"Level 6: Anomalous events are completely out of control, there is no solution to such anomalous events, they represent fear in themselves, and all investigators should avoid Level 6 anomalous events at all costs!"

"What we just experienced was a level 3 anomalous event, because there was a specific 'ghost', to be honest, if it weren't for you, I would have died." The investigator seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, what about the old man who was with us?" ”

"When he went down to the first floor, he was gone." Gao Ming did not disclose the existence of the posthumous photo.

"It's broken!" The investigator's face changed, and he ran towards the door: "That old man is trapped in an anomalous event!" ”

Gao Ming followed the investigators to 2707, Mr. Yao had stopped breathing, and his daughter called the emergency number early, but it was too late.

Mr. Yao's emaciated and shrunken body is in contrast to the various award pennants on the wall, and until he died, there were still photos of his youthful righteousness and courage next to his pillow.

"The old man may have his own choice."

The old man was gone, but there was no cold feeling in the house, and it was as if he could finally sleep soundly.

After the ambulance took Teacher Yao away, Gao Ming and Xuan Wen returned to 2507, and now it was the time for the two of them.

"You took that uncle to clear my room's weird talk game?" Xuan Wen tilted her head to look at Gao Ming, and the smile on her face was still gentle.

"Don't say it so strangely, I wanted to take you with me, but you didn't show up." Gao Ming took out Zhao Xi's posthumous photo: "The blank posthumous photo you gave has disappeared, and it seems that the 'ticket' can only be used once." ”

"It's strange that I'm being left out." Xuan Wen slowly approached: "The strange talk game is extremely dangerous, I'm a little curious, how did you clear the level." ”

"According to the danger level given by the Investigation Bureau, the danger of the strange talk game that is triggered in advance is only about three levels, but the ghost in the game itself should have the potential to grow into a strange story." Gao Ming is not ready to give Zhao Xi's posthumous photo to Xuan Wen, but he can't just let Xuan Wen pay and not give Xuan Wen anything in return: "You look at this black and white photo carefully, I found another way to make you more real and powerful." ”

"The chain veins on the photo are beating? What's that? Xuan Wen discovered the special thing about Zhao Xi's posthumous photo.

"The chain can be understood as a bond between family members, I can obtain his ability, but at the same time, I need to let more people know about his pain......" Gao Ming flipped the posthumous photo to the back: "I'm thinking about a possibility, is it possible to let more people know Zhao Xi's story, and if Zhao Xi has emotional changes, what can the dead Zhao Xi gain from it?" It doesn't have to be a living player to a place where the two worlds overlap to experience life and death, maybe we can make Zhao Xi's experience into a game, this game is equivalent to Zhao Xi's tombstone, and the emotions generated by each player in the process of clearing the customs may have an impact on Zhao Xi. ”

"Makes sense, but I have one more thing to warn you of. Your game came to life because you had something going through in that tunnel, not because you had some kind of ability, and if you wanted to make the game you created a reality as well, you'd have to go back to that tunnel and figure everything out. ”

"I didn't want to make my game continue to become a reality, I just wanted to let Zhao Xi's story be known to more people through this method." Gao Ming naturally put away Zhao Xi's black and white photos: "If Zhao Xi does change, your life is equivalent to a safer way back." ”

"What? You want to eat me? Xuan Wen put her hands behind her back, as if she was bound.

"Say that again." Gao Ming picked up his backpack and walked outside: "Am I like that?" ”
