Chapter 93

Qiao Dong hung up the phone with a complicated look.

The pentagram beside him looked over curiously, "Shen Yunzhe?"

"Yes." Qiao Dong smiled awkwardly. "He wants to see the things his father left behind. It seems he still has a deep affection for his family."

The pentagram didn't even shift the angle of the smile on his lips, but he was thinking: I've heard it.

There wasn't a hint of admiration in Shen Yunzhe's words.

"I have an appointment with him this afternoon. Now let's continue looking for the 'train'." Qiao Dong returned to his work. Pentagram nodded without any hesitation.

They are summarizing the patterns of the appearance of "trains".

Just like every playground has its own medium and rules, the former mystic Shen Wei believed that the area invaded by strange objects also has certain rules. As long as this rule is discovered, the influence of the playground can be avoided to a certain extent.

For example, when he was still alive, he had summarized the rule of "February, April, and August" for the "Mountain Village", which means that the "Mountain Village" would stop activities during these three months, and the playground could be entered freely. If you want to break into the playground, you can only do so during these months.

He had also entered the "mountain village" several times during this period, but unfortunately he still couldn't find a way to deal with the "mountain village".

Now Shen Wei is gone, but the authorities cannot ignore the appearance of the "train". They must summarize this law and allow the people to resume normal life while avoiding the influence of the playground. A stable social atmosphere is the best way to suppress negative emotions.

Society must return to normal operation as soon as possible.

After confirming the appearance of the train again, Qiao Dong noted down the time, place and anything that might be useful. Pentagram also kept observing the surroundings, trying to find any difference with his eyes that could only see strange things. This kind of work was not a short-term task, and it might take them a long time to find it.

After all, there is no one else as sensitive to strange things as Shen Wei.

"Is he really Shen Wei's son?" Pentagram suddenly spoke while observing.

Qiao Dong wrote down the last thing and nodded, only to remember that he couldn't see the pentagram.

At work, he always forgets that Pentagram is a blind man. Perhaps it is because Pentagram is too sharp, he can always discover many things in advance, giving Qiao Dong a feeling that although he cannot see with his eyes, he can see other people's souls. Now think about it, this idea is actually quite exaggerated.

"Yes." Qiao Dong replied, "Shen Wei left a genetic sample at the bureau. We got Shen Yunzhe's genes thinking that maybe his family had left genetic samples. We didn't expect it to be a direct match with Shen Wei. It was such a surprise."

"The most important official mystic who ran away twenty years ago turned out to be his father."

Pentagram sighed, "He even sent his own son to an orphanage. It seems he had a difficult time back then."

“Do you know Shen Wei?”

"I've worked with him for a few months." Pentagram smiled. "Chen Wei doesn't use a code name in the bureau. He's always called by his real name. He believes that a name is a code name and that a name has a special function, so he doesn't use a code name for himself."

"His wife is very gentle. We met her once. Although I don't know what she looks like, I can feel her gaze."

"After his wife's death, the child became his only support. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the officialdom like that and taken the child with him. I also thought the name Shen Yunzhe sounded familiar, but I didn't expect it was really his son."

Qiao Dong asked, "He doesn't bring his children to the government?"

"He is very concerned about the safety of his family members, so why would he bring his family to the authorities? We only know that he has a wife and children."

It was under such circumstances that Shen Wei's wife's seeing of the 'surprise Easter eggs' aroused suspicion. She had almost no access to these things. Shen Wei's disappearance with the children without a word was enough to prove that he had become suspicious of certain people within the officialdom.

Therefore, he would rather send the child to an orphanage and let the child grow up in the orphanage when he was in crisis than send him to the government.

"We've discussed this before, and we believe Shen Wei also possesses some kind of special ability, but he believes it's simply due to his research into the occult." Pentagram sighed, "He's a very regular, academic person who studies the occult, yet wants to interpret the game field scientifically."

"But he actually interpreted something."

Pentagram couldn't help laughing as he spoke, "Although what he interpreted was also very unscientific."

But even now, the official research on the playground is still based on the conclusions he made. The additions to the playground over the past 20 years are not as good as his summary in three years.

He is also the only one who can possibly destroy the special game field in terms of rules.

What a pity, God is jealous of his talent and he left too early.

"Speaking of which, although I don't know Shen Wei, Shen Yunzhe is very suitable for the game field. He can always find some angles that normal people can't find, and use these weird angles to draw the correct conclusions." Qiao Dong said: "Does this count as a continuation of the same lineage?"

"Who knows." Pentagram smiled and shook his head, "But the gimmicks about him are getting bigger and bigger."

"It's related to a player who can directly harm strange objects. He's Shen Wei's son, Li Yilun's friend, and he and the talisman master went through the 'train' together." Pentagram said: "This is an experience that normal people can't enjoy at all."

Qiao Dong smiled and said, "It's a disaster experience."

After finishing a whole morning's work, he handed over the remaining work to his subordinates. Pentagram was also watching here. He hurried to the place where he had agreed to meet Shen Yunzhe without even eating.

The 'train' incident is very important, but Shen Yunzhe is more important.

Shen Wei is a very cautious person. It is impossible for him to leave nothing for his child. There must be something on Shen Yunzhe.

The official wants to know something that they don't know yet, but there are also a group of people hiding in the dark who want to destroy it, just like the mysterious destruction of Shen Wei back then. If they don't watch carefully, they are worried that Shen Yunzhe will follow Shen Wei's old path.

When he arrived at the agreed location, Qiao Dong saw Shen Yunzhe sitting alone on a bench by the roadside.

The bench was made of wood, but it was frozen cold in this cold winter. No one sat on it along the way. Only Shen Yunzhe sat on it quietly. Qiao Dong looked carefully and found that Shen Yunzhe was not even wearing a coat. His fingers were frozen red, as if they were dyed with red paint.

Qiao Dong quickly took out gloves from his pocket and trotted over.

"Shen Yunzhe, why are you wearing so little?" Qiao Dong said, and then put the gloves on Shen Yunzhe, "Aren't you cold?"

Shen Yunzhe looked at Qiao Dong with a strange look, and spoke after a moment, "You..."

"Ah?" Qiao Dong was surprised. "You?"

"If you become a mother, your child will definitely be very happy." Shen Yunzhe still said this.

Qiao Dong: ...

He once again began to doubt Shen Yunzhe's mental state.

"How are you feeling right now?" Qiao Dong asked. "Did something happen to you? Or do you want to vent something? Or is there something wrong with you... Never mind, just ignore what I said."

Shen Yunzhe looked at him and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. I won't be angry."

"No." Qiao Dong shook his head. "Since we're here, let's go. Your father's laboratory is still there. I'll take you to see it."

"What are you researching?" Shen Yunzhe stood up and followed him. Before Qiao Dong could answer, he began to mutter to himself, "Could it be that a person's negative emotions can bring such great power to the game field?"

Qiao Dong gave him a complicated look, then replied, "You guessed right."

"Your father, Shen Wei, has indeed studied this proposition."

Shen Yunzhe's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Really, but he was abandoned by his superiors and asked to research something useful." Qiao Dong told him about past events as if chatting with him. This past event was something Qiao Dong had just found out a few days ago, so he spoke it out in such a relaxed and calm manner, "So he began to study the formation of the playground, the origin of the playground, and the origin of his special abilities."

"How interesting." Shen Yunzhe exclaimed, "I want to study this too."

Qiao Dong looked into Shen Yunzhe's eyes and asked, "Do you really want to go?"

"Of course not." Shen Yunzhe replied with a smile: "I'm just too bored, so bored, my head is starting to hurt from boredom, and now I'm desperate to see something interesting!"

"One, two, three, four..." He suddenly started counting again, "No, I think I missed one just now."

Qiao Dong looked around and asked, "What are you counting?"

"Street lights." Shen Yunzhe answered lazily, "But I seem to have missed a number after counting twice."

Willful, speaks without restraint, is mainly interested in fun, and has difficulty in being patient.

Qiao Dong silently sorted out Shen Yunzhe's current state in his mind. No matter which one, it was different from the Shen Yunzhe he had seen, but it perfectly matched the Shen Yunzhe that Yue Ding had once said. He had been in the same game field with Shen Yunzhe and mentioned that Shen Yunzhe suddenly changed his personality in the later stage of the game, as if he had become a different person.

He is willful and bold, sharp and extreme, but in this state he can display intelligence and talents that a normal person would not possess.

I dared to enter the haunted dormitory in the middle of the night and found that the medium itself was located upstairs in the dormitory.

Shen Yunzhe was squatting on the side of the road counting the street lights. Qiao Dong watched for a few seconds and then squatted down to count with him. Every time Shen Yunzhe entered the number wrong, he would remind him. Shen Yunzhe surprisingly did not reject it. After his reminder, he entered the number again and counted again and again without any pattern.

It was very dull and boring, but Qiao Dong showed no displeasure at all and stayed with him until he finished counting the street lights.

After counting, Shen Yunzhe stretched as if he had done something great. Qiao Dong then stood up and patted his numb legs, then took Shen Yunzhe to the car that was to pick them up. Because Shen Yunzhe had not finished counting, Qiao Dong asked the driver to wait by the side.

After getting in the car, Shen Yunzhe sat in the back seat, and Qiao Dong did not sit in the passenger seat. There was a pile of information on the back seat. He planned to read it for a while on the road, so he brought a copy in the car. He packed it up casually, and then Shen Yunzhe took it away.

"You really have the potential to be a mother." Shen Yunzhe commented on him.

Qiao Dong did not refute, but just felt that Shen Yunzhe was like a child in his current state.

There is nothing wrong with showing this information to Shen Yunzhe, after all, he is the biggest target now.

Shen Yunzhe looked at the information and suddenly asked, "What is this?"

"It's a pattern." Qiao Dong answered seriously, "We are summarizing the patterns of the 'train' appearance. There are people guarding each station. As soon as a train appears, they will compile it and send it to me. We are trying to find the operating pattern of this train."

Shen Yunzhe nodded. He still remembered that he had left from upstairs, so he pointed to the Langqiao station.

"He can't count like me?" Shen Yunzhe suddenly spoke.

Qiao Dong was stunned for a moment. He looked at Shen Yunzhe, "What did you say?"

"123...5? Wrong count, start over again." Shen Yunzhe pointed at the stations. "13, wrong again, start over again."

Qiao Dong took the file from Shen Yunzhe's hand and looked at the contents in confusion. As he looked at it, he suddenly understood what Shen Yunzhe meant.

Trains are appearing at irregular intervals from various stations, and they can be seen throughout the entire subway station. However, if each subway line is arranged from the starting point 1 downwards, and each station is regarded as a number, it can be seen that the trains are indeed appearing in a counting manner.

Then I suddenly counted the wrong number and started over again.

Because there are more than a dozen subway lines and each line has too many stations, and it would make mistakes and repeat itself, they didn't even notice this.

The special playground is alive, but it also has rules. These rules are not impossible to discover, but they require a keen person.

Qiao Dong looked at Shen Yunzhe in surprise. Twenty years ago, this perceptive person was Shen Wei, but he didn't expect that twenty years later it would be Shen Wei's son Shen Yunzhe.

He quickly called Pentagram in the car, told Pentagram about his discovery, and asked Pentagram to find someone to verify whether it was true. There was surprise in Pentagram's voice. He never thought that this strange thing could count and always count wrong.

"What if it counts correctly?" Shen Yunzhe continued, "If it counts wrong, we can start over. But if it counts correctly, what will happen after it counts all the street lights like me?"

Before Qiao Dong hung up the phone, the Pentagram on the other end heard Shen Yunzhe's voice, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard such words before.

It was twenty years ago.

Shen Wei found the pattern of the "mountain village". He stood at the edge of the mountain village and looked at the playground that was not operating at a certain period of time, and asked this question.

He said: "What would happen if 'Mountain Village' was running at this time one day?"

"Will the good rules that have been summarized really not change?"

This statement, which completely questioned his own conclusion, made everyone present break out in a cold sweat.

Qiao Dong was still worried about the "train", so he sent Shen Yunzhe to the official research institute, then called his superiors and asked them to help keep an eye on him, and then went back to the subway. Shen Yunzhe didn't care, he walked in alone.

There was a man sitting inside, watching the 'surprise easter egg' on a big screen.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Yunzhe asked curiously.

"See where these things happened and see if there is anything special." The person being questioned by Shen Yunzhe spoke subconsciously.

Then the man blinked and turned to look at me in confusion, "Who are you? Are you not an employee here?"

He looked quite young, with a youthful appearance, wearing black-framed glasses and having a scholarly air. He must be an academic.

Shen Yunzhe smiled, "I'm here to inherit the estate. I'm actually your real young master who was left behind. Today I'm here to take back everything that belongs to me!"

"Ah?" The young man made a confused sound.

Shen Yunzhe leaned on the table next to him and said, "Don't believe me? I can give you an internship certificate."

"Huh?" The young man said in confusion again, "I graduated many years ago, so I don't need an internship certificate."

"Oh, it's rare to find an honest kid like you." Shen Yunzhe smiled and patted his head. "Be good, keep working."

"No, who are you?" The man stood up. "How did you get in?"

"I've already told you that I'm your real young master who was left behind." Shen Yunzhe said seriously.

Just as the young man was about to call security, a voice sounded at the door.

"He's not wrong. This research institute was founded by Shen Wei, so Shen Wei's son is naturally the heir left behind." A little old man walked in from the doorway. He looked at Shen Yunzhe with a smile on his face and a scrutinizing look in his eyes. "Shen Yunzhe."

The young man was startled. "Shen Yunzhe? The player who can directly harm strange creatures?!"

The old man came over and said, "Chen Wei is my student. I have always blamed myself after he disappeared. Seeing you today, I feel that I have not let him down."

Shen Yunzhe smiled, his eyebrows curved and there was a strange feeling in his smile.

"Are you showing off your seniority in front of me?" Shen Yunzhe asked him, "Who are you from Shen Wei? What's your relationship to me? Do you want me to call you Master?"

"I hate people who try to make connections right away."

The young man who was just about to watch the fun suddenly dived in front of the screen, staring at it intently, with an expression that said, "I'm working hard and didn't hear anything, so don't mind me."

The old man was not angry, but looked at Shen Yunzhe helplessly, "You are a bit rude."

"What's the point of being polite? Can you let me sleep?" Shen Yunzhe sat down on the chair, looking around. "Politeness is the most useless thing in this world. A person opens his eyes in order to close them again, not to prick up his ears to listen to others' politeness."

Shen Yunzhe asked curiously, "What are you researching here? Can you prescribe some sleeping pills for me?"

The old man's expression changed instantly. "Sleeping pills?! What do you want to do?!"

"Child, don't do anything stupid!"
