Chapter 42: The Sea of ??Fire Undead (2)
Of course, Yan Ruyu wanted to celebrate the New Year with Wu Cuo. He was not a person who easily broke the old rules unless something particularly important happened.
At present, something particularly important is happening in the game. In fact, this incident has spread from the game to real life.
Three days ago, when Yan Ruyu opened the game, a news about the New Year event popped up.
As for games, it’s no big deal to make money while doing some gimmicks during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, but this news obviously has nothing to do with making money.
“As the most special player in the series of games of the murderer, we invite you to participate in the real case simulation game as the New Year approaches.
Case name: The Undead
Case: One summer night 20 years ago, an old building in the suburbs of Beijing Beicheng caught fire and five policemen were burned to death. A week after the incident, the police announced that the case was a retaliation by the underworld, and all investigation records were sealed as secrets.
Twenty years later, the undead in the sea of fire will sing nursery rhymes and see the light of the sky again:
Six little friends were forced into a dead end.
A betrayed and cried for forgiveness.
Together, I thought of countermeasures and surrendered to petition.
I don’t know that outside the door, the evil ghost is repairing the knife.
A big fire burned, and the doors and windows were blocked.
If you want to ask who survives, visit the fog on New Year's Eve.
Do you participate in New Year’s Eve activities?
Yan Ruyu read this message repeatedly and even took a photo with her mobile phone.
There was indeed a unsolved case where five policemen were burned to death 20 years ago. There was no case, no insider, and even the cases that the five policemen had investigated were sealed, as if an invisible hand had erased the clues about them.
There are only 5 hero titles left behind that cannot be eaten or spent as money.
Among the five dead policemen, two couples, one of whom was Yan Ruyu's parents and the other was Wu Cuo's parents.
Wu Cuo is a positive and optimistic person. He believes in the so-called official statement and firmly believes that his parents are devoted to the just cause, and for some reason, this just cause cannot be made public. To him, parents are spiritual beliefs.
Yan Ruyu is different. The day before his parents' accident, he accidentally heard a conversation, which mentioned the crime of a major leader and also mentioned the methods used by the major leader to cover up the crime. Yan Ruyu could hear the fear and anger in his parents' tone.
He firmly believed that his parents were not "glorious sacrifices", but were "subjected".
Yan Ruyu has been pursuing this case. It can be said that the reason why he accepted the pension arrangements from his parents' unit and was engaged in his current work is that he wanted to find out the case.
Time is a good medicine to forget. 20 years have passed, and people who remember the old things have been scattered around the world. Therefore, when this unsolved case appeared in the game activity, Yan Ruyu's shock and confusion were beyond words.
He even vaguely felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes behind the monitor, which could see through his thoughts.
What exactly do game developers want to do?
He checked the game official website and forum, but there was no publicity or discussion about this event.
It was as if he was the only one who received the event prompt.
Is anyone hinting at something?
Yan Ruyu returned to the game and clicked "Yes" at the bottom of the dialog box to agree to participate in the New Year's Eve event.
"In the real case simulation game, any accidents or even deaths may occur. Are you sure you participate?"
Yan Ruyu clicked "Yes" again, and the built-in chat window of the game popped up.
Yan Ruyu knew for the first time that there was a chat system for the murderer, and the system automatically added a friend named Lucy to him.
Lucy's avatar is a blonde beauty with a very European and American look.
"Hello, welcome to participate in the real case simulation game." Lucy took the lead in saying hello.
"Hello."
"The first clue of the Undead in the Sea of Fire will be sent to you on time at midnight on New Year's Eve. Please log in in advance and wait."
"Is the Undead a real case?"
“???”
"Lucy, are you still here?"
The other party never answered again.
There is definitely something wrong with the New Year’s Eve event! Yan Ruyu came to the conclusion.
First of all, if the customer service of the game company dared to neglect players so much, especially the high-quality play like Yan Ruyu, they would have been fired long ago. The reason why they dared to show this attitude is because they knew that even so, Yan Ruyu would continue to play, and they seemed to know that Yan Ruyu would definitely be interested in the case.
Secondly, even Chinese people who are addicted to games will put down the game and accompany their families on New Year's Eve. At this time, important game clues will be announced, and people are so arrogant that they can "log in advance and wait", which means "what ordinary players should do, and people who are really related to this case will stay, let's talk carefully."
At 11:30 pm, the sound of firecrackers outside began to rise and fall. Perhaps the Spring Festival Gala was even worse than last year.
Someone set off fireworks nearby and saw clearly through the window.
The fireworks rushed into the sky with a whizzing sound and exploded, like dandelions, some red, some green, some gold, and some purple.
When there were still 5 minutes and 12 o'clock, Yan Ruyu came to the computer and logged into the game.
There are still 3 minutes left to 12 o'clock.
Is this considered staying up with the New Year? Yan Ruyu suddenly had such an idea.
Maybe you should make a wish?
Forget it, how old he is. He denied this idea in his heart again.
While the time in the lower right corner of the computer changed from 23:59 to 0:00, the chat window pops up again.
It's still Lucy.
“Task: Join, and get the first clue from the Joiner.
Connection location: South entrance of Jiaozi Hutong.
The code of the connector: Brother, is it better to rheumatism? If the other party answers: Applying dog skin plaster, it will be much better. The connector will be successful.
Reminder: Please rush to the joint location as soon as possible, and the clues are only given to the first person who successfully joins."
Yan Ruyu dared not neglect. He guessed that more than the people involved in the game were themselves, but he did not expect that the game developers were deliberately amplifying the players' competitive consciousness.
After a little hesitation, Yan Ruyu put the pistol on the back and hurried out.
The Jade-Zi Hutong is not famous. The modern urban construction has gradually forgotten the long-standing location of the Hutong. Fortunately, the navigation is strong enough, and the road is very empty. Yan Ruyu arrived at his destination more than 20 minutes later.
It was so cold in Beijing at midnight. The northwest wind was not strong, but it blew people's faces like a knife.
Yan Ruyu got out of the car and looked around.
The white mist brought out from every exhalation in his nose blurred his vision.
Soon, another place with white fog caught Yan Ruyu's attention.
It was a ball of black huddle under the wall, spitting white mist rhythmically. When I got closer, I realized that it was a homeless man with a disheveled face.
Yan Ruyu is not a sentimental person, but today is New Year's Eve, and the homeless man is huddling alone on the street corner when the lights are on, which is really easy to arouse people's compassion.
Yan Ruyu handed the homeless man one hundred yuan. At this moment, a man wearing a black ski shirt and a white mask hurried over. Yan Ruyu left the homeless man and walked towards the man.
"Brother, is the rheumatism better?"
The man was stunned, took two steps, stopped again, pointed to his head and said, "Are you okay here?"
Obviously, this is a passerby, so Yan Ruyu had to give up.
Just as he continued to look around, a few beams of car lights shone, and three cars rushed straight to the south entrance of the Jiaozi Hutong.
Judging from this formation, it should be a visitor to find the leader, and the person who came was not good!
Yan Ruyu subconsciously hid into the Seize Hutong, and then looked at the situation first.
At this moment, the homeless man squatting under the wall at the entrance of the alley suddenly stood up, but failed to stand firmly, and suddenly hit Yan Ruyu.
"Hehe, there are so many dog skin plasters!"
When this sentence was spoken out from the homeless man with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, the hairs on Yan Ruyu's back stood up.
He felt his pocket sink, and something obviously fell into his pocket.
Yan Ruyu subconsciously reached out and touched it, and it was a tape!
The homeless man walked out of the alley like nothing happened. Yan Ruyu wanted to chase the homeless man and asked clearly, but more than ten people had already gotten out of the car at the entrance of the alley. The leader shouted: "Look at this area tightly! Who dares to connect before us and kill it directly!"
Chapter completed!
