Chapter 100 Chapter 13 Li Zheng once investigated Wei Sheng. ...

Li Zheng once investigated Wei Sheng.

Of course, he is a criminal policeman with many years of work experience, not a reckless teenager.

The day he got Wei Sheng's phone number, he had already begun secretly investigating his resume. He wanted to know where he lived, where he had studied, where he had worked, and where he had lived.

But just as he suddenly appeared,

His past... was blank.

Student status, home address, social security records...

Nothing.

It's like a person who appears out of thin air in the world, but how can a person appear out of thin air in this world?

This is so, so bizarre.

Compared to this, Li Zheng was more inclined to believe that this young man was hiding something and gave him a fake name.

Li Zheng was indeed wary of Wei Sheng. Precisely because of this, he was willing to let him get close to him, to keep him by his side, so that he could spot any small movements he made.

Including what he is interested in and what he actively checks out. Words can be deceiving, but actions cannot.

However, it turned out that he seemed to be keen on only one thing, which was to follow and stick to himself.

At Mingzhu Plaza, when Li Zheng turned around and found that Wei Sheng, who had been following him, was gone, the question that suddenly came to his mind was: was he really worried that something had happened to him, or did he think that he might be the murderer?

Both.

He didn't completely trust Wei Sheng, so when Wei Lele told him to be wary of the person around him, he didn't feel much.

It was exactly 11:40 when I returned to the bureau, which was lunchtime. Normally, there would be a lot of colleagues there at this time, but Qingtan was not peaceful during this period, and many police officers were out on duty. The entire Municipal Public Security Bureau looked a lot emptier than usual.

After bringing Wei Lele into the interrogation room, Li Zheng didn't even have time to have lunch before he went back into the interrogation room with a police officer who was in charge of taking notes.

Of course Wei Sheng couldn't go in. He watched the door slowly close in front of him, staring at the door quietly, as if he could stare a hole in it.

His face was frighteningly gloomy, completely lacking the childishness and vigor that only young people had shown in front of Li Zheng.

What's going on?

Let’s go back to when they just got out of the parking lot.

In fact, when Wei Sheng discovered that the parking spot was wrong, he had a slight idea of ​​what might happen.

Although the comics he had read did not clearly state the order of the cases in the serial murders several years ago, it seemed that one of the cases took place in Pearl Plaza, but not at this time, right?

Mingzhu Plaza used to be a must-go place for Li Zheng when he went to school. One of the Easter eggs said that he had set up a stall here when he was twelve years old, on New Year's Eve.

Although he didn't explain in detail why he set up a stall in the square during the New Year, what he was selling, or how much money he made, he just mentioned it in one sentence, but it made Wei Sheng remember this place.

Pearl Plaza.

Li Zheng was walking very fast at the time, and when looking from behind, he could see that his shoulders were obviously uneven.

Wei Sheng followed closely behind, and almost at this time, he heard the system in his brain tell him that it had detected a strange energy fluctuation nearby.

When signing the agreement with this system, Wei Sheng carefully read the rules and regulations. Apart from some clichés, the important thing was the rescue mission that had to be completed.

There are two main tasks. One is to change Li Zheng's predetermined fate and let him survive successfully. The second is to find the "first generation awakening NPC".

Based on the premise of the task, the system will provide him with certain help, such as giving him prompts.

At that time, Wei Sheng turned around and saw a sneaky figure hiding behind a car in the corner of the parking lot. He rushed over and the other person ran away immediately.

Then the two began to chase each other.

During the pursuit, Wei Sheng also specifically confirmed with the system that the person he was chasing was indeed the source of the abnormal energy fluctuations.

He did hear Li Zheng's call, but the situation was urgent at the time. The strange man in black had immediately left Mingzhu Square. The other party was obviously familiar with the terrain, and he easily lost track of him when he was distracted, so he didn't connect with him for a while.

He called back to Li Zheng only on the third try.

Then he listened to Li Zheng's instructions, and when Li Zheng came over, the man in the black sweatshirt started saying a series of strange things.

He said he could see something on Li Zheng's head. Wei Sheng was not surprised at all, after all, he could see it himself.

From the first moment he saw Officer Li, the reason why Wei Sheng could spot him in the crowd at a glance was not only because he had seen his portrait countless late nights and there was a pile of his peripherals in his bedroom at home, but also because the top of his head was too conspicuous a reminder.

——NPC Officer Li

——Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of Cheongdam City

The font is a bold Song font, the color is ink-black, and there is a small green glowing dot next to it.

Green represents friendliness.

If the icon next to an NPC's name turns red, it means that the NPC is extremely aggressive and may actively attack the player or is in a manic mood; if it turns gray, it means that the person is dead. There are also other different icons, such as blue, yellow, etc...

Wei Sheng could also see this information, so when the man stared at the empty air above Officer Li's head, Wei Sheng didn't feel strange. What he felt strange was his next sentence.

He said Li Zheng was going to die.

There was nothing wrong with this sentence itself. After all, in the established script, Li Zheng did die in the river late at night two months later.

But the question is why could the man see the message above Officer Li’s head that he was about to die? Isn’t this information that only he can see?

He immediately began questioning the system.

The system's sound was unclear, only a crackling sound could be heard, as if some parts were burning out, and the responses were also intermittent.

Wei Sheng listened carefully several times before he could clearly hear the system saying that an unknown fault had been detected and was being investigated, tested, and cleaned up...

He asked several more times, but the system was still in the same weird state and never gave an accurate answer.

For this reason, Wei Shengcai didn't say anything at the time. He just stood behind Officer Li as a human background board, quietly observing the confrontation between the two and guessing the identity of this male NPC.

Look at Officer Li's expression.

The two of them seemed to be old times.

who?

Wei Sheng could see Officer Li’s public information above his head, but the man in black…

Maybe because this NPC awakened and became a player, the program was abnormal, so the top of his head no longer has a name, identity and other information like a normal NPC?

Wei Sheng was not quite clear about this, he just subconsciously felt something was wrong, because in his understanding, even if he became a player, he could still see the ID.

But there is only a blurry mosaic above the NPC's head. It's not that it can't be seen or there is no information. There is information, but it seems to be blocked by something.

——???

——? ??? ?

He couldn't see the name or identification information, not even the small colored dot next to the name.

Wei Sheng could only speculate about their relationship based on what the man said and Officer Li's response. Were they classmates? It seemed like they went through elementary school, middle school, and high school...

What's more noteworthy is that the way this person looked at Officer Li was also very strange. It was completely unlike the way he would look at an ordinary classmate of the same sex.

…

He stared at Officer Li the entire time, and spoke with some emotion about how Officer Li looked like in elementary school. He said that he was very mature as a child, like a little adult, and he still looks like that now.

Is this Officer Li’s elementary school?

What would that be like?

Wei Sheng didn't know all this.

After all, Officer Li is just a minor character in comics and games, so many records about him are actually blank.

That NPC and Officer Li went to elementary school, middle school, and high school together. He must have seen Officer Li from childhood to adulthood and knew a lot about him...

Wei Sheng can't compare to these.

A hidden emotion quietly spread along the lines of his heart, like a vine growing wildly in a damp corner, entangling him so tightly that his breathing became tight and he couldn't breathe at all.

He had originally thought he knew Officer Li best. After all, he was the first to collect all of his fragments. He knew Officer Li's favorite foods, his height, weight, and birthday, and could even recite every line he spoke...

But that NPC...

Listening to him talking as if no one was around about some past events that Wei Sheng had no idea about, didn't understand, and wasn't clear about, a simmering anger seemed to burn in his throat, and even his fingertips felt a bit of uncontrollable soreness.

It must be made up.

I thought so in my heart, but the next second a small rebuttal came to my mind, no, that's all true.

The expression on Wei Sheng's face was not good at that time, but fortunately Officer Li did not look back at that time, and the person facing him was the awakened NPC.

The man saw the jealousy on Wei Sheng's face, and then he smiled, and it looked like he was smiling at Li Zheng.

But Wei Sheng felt that he was being mean to himself.

--provocative.

——He is provoking himself.

Not long after, Officer Li's two apprentices arrived. Officer Li must have sent them a message. They brought handcuffs and took the man back to the police station.

During this process, the system could not be contacted. It did not respond when asked anything, and either could not hear clearly or made a continuous crackling sound.

Since Li Zheng wanted to subdue the "suspect", Lou Ruoping had to go back to the previous restaurant to find out more about the situation. Tian Chen was not very good at driving Li Zheng's car, so the person chosen to drive naturally became Wei Sheng.

When he was about to get in the car, Wei Sheng noticed that the awakened NPC approached Li Zheng and said something to him.

What did you say?

Is it related to yourself?

It definitely won’t be anything good!

After all, from the first time he met this NPC, Wei Sheng had felt an inexplicable rejection and resistance towards him. He also knew that the other party felt the same way.

What was the name of this NPC? Was there such a character in the comics and games? I couldn't remember. Wei Sheng focused all his attention on Officer Li and didn't really pay much attention to the other NPCs.

So what did he say?

Wei Sheng stared at the keyhole on the door handle and thought about this problem countless times, and when he thought about it 232 times, the system finally stopped making a fault sound.

【Confirmed.】

The system's sound finally became clear again, and no longer made the poor connection noise like before.

【There are many bugs in this world. 】

I know this.

One of the bugs is particularly stubborn.

【So you cleaned it up? 】

[No, I tried to clean up this bug before, but found that as soon as I tried to clean it up, the system would malfunction. I tried again and again, and it almost stopped running. So I decided to leave it alone.]

Wei Sheng complained in his mind

"Then your company's product quality is really bad, and you are really useless. You can't help at all."

In the process of getting along with Wei Sheng, the system gradually began to learn how to fight back a little bit.

[But I don't think you've taken the initiative to find the real culprit. You've just been shamelessly staying by Li Zheng's side all day...]

Wei Sheng had actually tried to get access to information related to the case, but Li Zheng was very wary of him and rarely showed it to him. He also kept an eye on him, so he simply stayed by his side, because...

[Because as long as Officer Li is okay...]

[Also... I suddenly realized that Officer Li is somewhat different from the game. I've made quite a few modifications and additions to the Star Devouring Crow recently...]

[You're still asking me, aren't I looking for it right now? Isn't it because you're having a problem? Ultimately, it's still your problem!]

【………】

The system is offline.

When Lou Ruoping came over with the documents, Li Zheng had been in there for an hour and twenty minutes. She saw Wei Sheng standing outside at a glance.

"Master hasn't come out yet?"

She asked.

Wei Sheng shook his head.

Perhaps noticing what she was holding, Wei Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to go in and ask?"

Lou Ruoping shook her head.

"The master doesn't like to be disturbed when he's working."

"oh…"

Wei Sheng responded softly.

Just as Lou Ruoping was about to leave, a voice behind her suddenly called out to her, "By the way, is the injured girl at Mingzhu Plaza okay?"

This wasn't an internal secret and could be disclosed, so Lou Ruoping didn't hide it. She shook her head and said, "They're still trying to save him. The situation is very dangerous."

“…………”

She had seen the girl's condition in the hospital with her own eyes. Just thinking about it made her feel unbearable. Even if she could survive, it would probably...

"So what's the final conclusion?"

This was a bit confidential, so Lou Ruoping didn't answer directly. Instead, she replied vaguely, "This... is still under investigation. I'll tell you when the time comes."

"oh…"

The person left.

Wei Sheng could see the name above the head of the female NPC and some basic information. If he was not in this world but playing games at home, he could click on it to see more detailed and unlocked information, including personality, current favorability, etc.

Unfortunately, these features are all version 2.0.

After coming here with the help of the system, he had tested everything one by one. The current world was still in the basic 1.0 version, so he only had brief information. If he could see something favorable...

If you can see the favorability,

He really wanted to see how much Officer Li liked him, whether it had gone down or up.

Although he knew that Officer Li was an unapproachable NPC and that he couldn't get any rewards or unlock any achievements by improving his favor, it didn't stop him from wanting to give him a gift.

At that time, he didn't even know his full name.

But the emotions are really overwhelming.

And now, he wanted to see him even more.

Do you want to use the surveillance props?

No, Officer Li will find out.
