Liangfeng Community
In a short time, the living room was a mess.
Ding Can then realized that there were more masked men in the room at some point, and all kinds of ornaments were scattered all over the floor. It was unknown how much those antiques that seemed to have a long history were worth.
But at this moment, obviously no one cared about the loss of property. She looked up at the second floor a few times, but still did not see Song Yunchuan. After he escaped safely, he must be hiding somewhere in the room.
The doors and windows were still wide open when the masked man came in, making quite a noise, but strangely, it did not alarm the surrounding residents. Perhaps he had heard some dangerous information and did not dare to move forward.
The sun was setting when the few of them came here in the afternoon, but now the sky outside has been shrouded in darkness. Even the shadows of the trees under the street lights have become very blurred and gloomy.
Two of the well-trained masked men noticed her in the corner and quickly attacked her from two different directions with electric batons in hand.
She couldn't see the person's face clearly, the only thing she could see was their eyes, but she couldn't even see any fierce expression, all she saw was emptiness.
Perhaps they had already "dealt with" enough people in the Liangfeng community before, and had long since lost their humanity.
Ding Can didn't look for a place to hide, but just raised his hand and placed it on the back of the robot's round head.
Nomi, who has now lost his functions, still has blades sticking out of his body, which is intimidating to some extent.
The most important thing is that Ding Can found that since entering this copy, since he kept trying to control the robots he encountered by running programs, everything seemed to become easy.
She has been able to master the key points skillfully. Just like now, even if she just has the thought of driving Nomi in her mind, it will really move slowly because of her contact.
The various indicator lights that were originally off lit up almost at the same time, and the blades began to rotate at high speed again, but the target of attack changed within just a few minutes.
The masked man has now approached and noticed the robot's abnormality, but the situation before him is not enough to make them retreat. Completing the order is the top priority.
Taking advantage of the gap when Nomi was fighting with the other two, Ding Can was finally able to leave the debris-filled ground. As he walked with big strides, the wound on his back began to hurt.
She took a deep breath and noticed that most of her companions were also injured.
It is easier to be surrounded when gathering together, so everyone tacitly dispersed in the living room. Shi Yan jumped directly over the dining table and pounced on one person. Gao Wenwen quickly pushed over the small sofa and pinned the person underneath.
The knives in the kitchen were used as weapons at this time.
After taking a quick look around, he carried a chair to the wall. Considering the concave and convex shapes on the pillars, he should be able to climb to the second floor with some effort. He had to find Song Yunchuan first to change the current situation.
While trying, he heard a loud noise of a door being pushed open. Ding Can turned around suddenly, thinking that a new group of killers had arrived, but he didn't expect to see some familiar faces.
Shu Shenan looked anxious, with many students following him.
"I received a message from my sister and learned that you were ambushed here. I rushed over as soon as I could. I don't know what happened to those unmanned vehicles. During the day, the teacher could see them on the roadside, but now there's not a single one to be seen."
Without saying anything more, everyone rushed into the room, and the originally spacious living room suddenly became very crowded.
The situation suddenly turned upside down. Three or two of them could easily subdue a masked man. It was rare for someone to sit on the sofa. Shi Yan checked them one by one and gave simple treatment to the more serious wounds.
"He must not be on the second floor anymore." Ding Can injured his back and could only sit upright.
He had originally thought of going upstairs to look for Song Yunchuan's trace, but he had already avoided the risk and left at the first opportunity, so he would definitely observe in secret to see if he could resolve these sudden dangers.
It would be fine if her wish was fulfilled, but of course she couldn't stay any longer if the opposite happened. She looked towards the cupboard again. There was clearly a place underneath that hadn't been explored. Could it be his final secret?
"So you're saying this person not only manipulated others to kill, but also killed many people in the community over a long period of time?"
Shu Shenan looked at the photo on his phone. It was the picture from the surveillance video sent by Shu Yubei. It was a very young face.
"The news of his father's passing couldn't be false. This shows that these things were completely manipulated by him alone, without the support of his elders."
For some purpose, Song Yunchuan wanted to find and judge those people who he thought were not good enough, and he wanted his father to see this happening by placing the photos at the angles while he was paying tribute to his father.
There are still many things they don't understand.
But what is certain is that if this situation is allowed to continue, invisible murders will continue to occur in the Liangfeng community.
What's more, almost everyone is now exposed and there is no possibility of hiding. They must be found.
The mechanism that released the stairs was found at this time. When Ding Can returned to the photo room, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. It turned out that the first thing he saw when he entered the door was the portrait on the table.
Just now, he was standing right in front of her, so she didn't notice anything unusual, but now that the distance was far away, she realized something was wrong.
The black and white portrait, coupled with the not-so-clear picture, has a distinct sense of age, and is inexplicably similar to the interview photos of Song Qi seen in the museum.
A light bulb went off in her mind, and she suddenly realized what she had just overlooked. She had been trying to confirm whether this person was Song Qi, but in reality, Song Qi actually had obvious similarities with this person in some facial features.
It was just because of the different look that I didn't notice it at the first time.
Yu Fuzheng walked in from the doorway, and the first thing he saw was a back dotted with blood. He lowered his eyes and silently looked away: "Those people are tied up, but Shi Yan checked and found that they were injected with a mute drug, so they can't speak."
The masked men were controlled and tied up in the living room. Their masks had been taken off and no useful clues could be extracted from their mouths.
He noticed Ding Can's eyes: "What are you looking at?"
"I was thinking I might have been wrong since early morning." Ding Can found Song Yunchuan's bedroom on the second floor. It was clean and tidy, with almost no signs of young people's life.
There were no photos of him in the room, and the clothes in the wardrobe were all mature in style, which did not match his appearance, but his temperament was inexplicably integrated.
This made her think of another possibility. Although it was a bit bizarre, nothing would be too strange in this community that had been invaded by machine technology.
"Is the wound on your back okay?" Yu Fu really wanted to hand over his coat, but he was worried that covering the wound with another layer would only make it worse.
Ding Can shook his head: "But it won't be too bad. Let's go downstairs first and find out what's hidden under this house."
When I went downstairs, a few people were cleaning up the area around the cupboard, otherwise they would have had no place to stand.
Although the cabinet had just suffered severe damage, it still stood firmly in its original place. The door on one side was already shaky, and there were quite a few fragments in the grid inside.
"Come and see." Xia Jialian pointed to a certain place in the middle.
Many of the cups were displaced or shattered in the collision, but a double-handled glass cup on the second layer of the compartment looked unusually out of place at this moment.
He raised his hand and touched it, but it didn't feel like glass. Instead, it had a metallic texture. In particular, it wasn't actually transparent. It was just a visual deviation caused by the surface coating under light and shadow.
"Is the mechanism here?" Gao Wenwen stared at it carefully, and then saw Xia Jialian fiddle with it for a few times, and then pulled the two ears of the cup to the sides, and a very thin metal wire was brought out.
The wooden floor near the wall was opened, and a lot of debris fell from the hole along the steps, making a noticeable noise.
"Let's go down and take a look first. Most people should stay upstairs to avoid any mistakes." Ding Can looked down. There were lights under his feet and the passage was very bright.
Shu Shenan waved his hand on the sofa: "Don't worry, I've been in contact with my sister. If anyone else approaches later, other students in the community will be able to provide more support."
Now that we've discovered the oddities of the community, it's time to move on to the end of the dungeon.
"Everyone should pay attention to their assessment scores. I'm afraid it's not just those people in the room who are in danger right now."
In order to prevent any abnormalities, Ding Can brought Nomi along. The steps did not affect its movements. The round tray under its feet rose up, revealing a pair of mechanical feet underneath. It moved down alternately and walked directly in front.
Even when it reaches the end of the stairs, it can control the floor lamp to light up by itself, as if it is very familiar with this place. The identity of a household robot is just a cover.
Logically speaking, if the entire community was under Song Yunchuan's control, he actually didn't need to set up any additional areas in his home. The huge secret room in the community service center was enough, and no one would suspect him of frequent entry and exit.
This makes everyone more curious about what is hidden inside. Perhaps the reason why there are no signs of life upstairs is because he spends most of his time underground.
When I got to the underground, I don’t know if it was because of the bright lights, but the view in front of me suddenly became clear. There were no rooms to separate the people, and many things were just piled up in their respective places according to categories.
There was a large display screen on the wall opposite, showing surveillance footage from various places in the room. The picture of the living room was magnified to the maximum. Song Yunchuan was standing in front of it. He slowly turned around after hearing the footsteps behind him, with that very calm and familiar smile still on his face.
He glanced at Nomi who was standing next to Ding Can: "How did you do it?"
