Chapter 99: Real Illusion (10)
The gaming company was very efficient. Within a minute, two staff members Yi Han didn't recognize arrived.
In the second illusion, Jian Lin said that the rescuer was A27, but Yi Han was sure that he had never seen the person who came this time. Since someone who did not exist in his memory appeared, it can be confirmed that this time the situation was really solved successfully.
Yi Han stood there waiting for them to deal with the aftermath, his mentality was very stable.
The hypnotist on the other side was different. His wife was lost, his plan failed, his conspiracy was exposed, and he really lost both his wife and his army.
The hypnotist's lips trembled with anger, and he looked like he wanted to bite Yi Han, but he was restricted by the system and couldn't move. And he was not good at talking nonsense, so even though he was so angry that his teeth itched, he couldn't curse a word.
Seeing that he was feeling very uncomfortable, Yi Han couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
"I never thought you would be this kind of person. You could do such a thing," Yi Han said disappointedly. "Just because your lover died, you want to make the whole world miserable. What did those innocent people do wrong? What did the child you killed do wrong? Even I, a caring citizen, just accidentally came across some clues of your evil deeds, and I was almost killed by you to silence me. Look at this level, it's full of evidence of your evil deeds. Look at this puppet, the more I look at it, the more it looks like you made it with human flesh... Too vicious, so vicious..."
The hypnotist's face turned pale, and he wanted to point at Yi Han with his shaking hands, but he couldn't lift them: "You...you..."
Yi Han said, "It's useless to deny what you said. The surveillance cameras have recorded everything you did. I will also find a way to export the video of your experiences in the two layers of illusion. Together with the evidence in this room and the doll of your wife, I will hand it over to the company later. You have no chance."
The hypnotist was unable to catch his breath, especially when he heard about his wife's doll, his eyes were suddenly filled with tears.
Yi Han added: "Just accept your fate. Your plan has completely failed! Not only will you never see your wife again, but you will also have to do forced labor in a prison dungeon for hundreds of years to atone for what you have done."
Then the hypnotist's tears flowed down, and he glared at Yi Han with hatred, as if he wanted to eat him alive. But Yi Han occupied the moral high ground, stared at him calmly, and finally won the eye contact.
While Yi Han successfully made the hypnotist cry, the staff quickly handled the scene.
As the victim, Yi Han was given a simple physical examination and sent back home, while the hypnotist was sent to the company headquarters, where what Yi Han said was labor reform and penalty points were waiting for him.
After the hypnotist was executed, the small box that Jian Lin and Xiao Hei hid in naturally returned to Yi Han's hands. Fortunately, they were just trapped and were dizzy for a while before they recovered. It was nothing serious.
What happened next was pretty much as expected.
Yi Han submitted all the evidence, and the hypnotist's past experiences were all dug up and strictly investigated. In such unconventional cases, the company seemed to choose some inhumane investigation methods, such as extracting memories. Yi Han did not ask about these anymore, but only knew that the trapped souls would be rescued one after another, and the hypnotist's property and magic tools would be confiscated. After the company found all the victims in this case, they would be distributed to everyone as compensation according to the situation.
Yi Han's home was very lively that night. Staff members visited one after another, and his mobile phone kept receiving reports on the progress of the case. a27 soon learned about this, called him on video and flattered him for an hour, and expressed condolences on behalf of the company, saying that this was almost the biggest thing since the establishment of the company. The company attached great importance to Yi Han's help in finding the bad guy who was hiding so deeply, and they were already discussing how many points and props to give him. It was too late today, and a27 would come over tomorrow to give him a reward.
When Yi Han heard the last part, he remembered the second illusion he had just escaped from, and asked casually: "What reward? Are you going to give me a chance to be reborn?"
a27 was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't dream about this. How can there be such a reward? The timeline will be messed up!"
After getting this answer, Yi Han couldn't help but smile slightly. The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the call.
At night, Yi Han didn't sleep well.
Maybe it was the spiritual power left by the hypnotist that made him dream. In the dream, there was a girl in a wedding dress, who gave him a bouquet of flowers. The girl's face looked very similar to the doll in the glass coffin, and her smile was also sweet.
"Thank you." The girl said softly, her brows relaxed, as if something that had been bothering her for a long time had finally been resolved. After thanking him, she turned and left, her figure slowly fading away.
After waking up, Yi Han was still a little dazed.
There were indeed a few petals scattered at the head of his bed, and in the notification message sent by his mobile phone, he learned that his ghost attack immunity buff had been upgraded again - now Yi Han was almost immune to most attacks from ghosts, including mental and physical attacks.
"So, his wife didn't reincarnate?" Yi Han was a little surprised. "Has she been following the hypnotist? Then why didn't she show up and tell him?"
"…The soul data you mentioned cannot be detected." The system answered in a serious tone.
Yi Han was a little confused, but judging from the situation in the dream, even if the girl had always been there, now that the hypnotist's conspiracy had been exposed and there was no chance for him to be resurrected, she should feel relieved and leave. In the future, the hypnotist would undergo reform and would not be able to do anything else.
During the day, a27 came to Yi Han's house as promised, and brought a huge number of gems, props and other rewards, which filled a corner of the living room as if in a fantasy.
"Brother, you are so awesome. If it were me, I would have failed in the first level or the first day of that illusion." a27 held the milk tea produced by the food store and couldn't help but fart again.
Last night, Yi Han, as he said, took the initiative to export the video of the illusion process and submitted it as additional evidence that the hypnotist harmed him. A27 obviously went to watch it after hanging up the call. According to him, all the staff who watched the video at that time became Yi Han's NC fans. Everyone gathered together and praised the boss for a whole night. They also asked A27 to ask how he saw the problem in the second level of illusion.
"Let's choose a cat." Yi Han thought for a moment and said.
"Cat? My Mimi?" a27 was confused.
"Well, the hypnotist placed a cat in the illusion just to give himself a backup plan." Yi Han said, "In the first layer of the illusion, his original intention was to seal my memory and let me see ghosts as a child. In fact, in my real memory, the neighbors around me are not all so bad, and the classmates in the class are not all so vicious. The hypnotist magnified the malice of those individuals in the illusion, creating a world that makes people tired and want to escape. If the person who entered the illusion was a child who really only had memories of being 10 years old, he would probably be led to suicide by the seemingly kind ghosts. And I'm not sure whether people will really die if they die in the illusion."
"Wow... too insidious." a27 sighed, "Then why is my Mimi here?"
"Because I have a buff that can resist his memory seal." Yi Han smiled. "After the hypnotist found out about this, he knew that the first level of illusion might not be able to trap me. An adult, unless he is a fool, would not easily believe that suicide is a way to escape."
"Uh..." a27 suddenly felt embarrassed and didn't dare to say that when he saw this, he really doubted whether he could successfully escape that way.
"Since the first illusion is useless and he wants to kill me, his next move must be to try his best to remedy and make full use of this abandoned trap to set a new trap. So he arranged a cat." Yi Han said, "Since I have already experienced an illusion, it is still difficult for me to believe in the second illusion, because I will doubt the authenticity of the world at the first time. But with this cat, the situation will be much better. He let this cat be my companion in the first illusion, to help me and remind me, all in order to guide me to believe in the cat's owner, that is, you, in the second layer. As long as I believe that you are helping me, it is equivalent to believing that the world is real."
"This..." a27 was speechless.
"So the rest is easy to understand. The appearance of the black cat was somewhat deliberate, and I had my suspicions. In addition, since the first level of the illusion, I have been speculating on what his back-up plan is. And it was also obvious that he was exposed himself because he was too obsessed with his wife. When he first asked me to hand over the evidence, I was almost certain that it was still an illusion. In order to lead him to reveal more, I just played a trick and dragged out the time. I didn't expect that he couldn't stand it at all. He came to my house to give himself up before the agreed deadline." Yi Han spread his hands, "I thought that at least after the expiration of the stone, he would come to my house to search the body."
a27 digested it for a long time before asking, "So, before he was finally exposed, you were just guessing... Without 100% certainty, weren't you afraid that you would guess wrong and destroy the stone and waste a chance to be reborn? After all, the reward... is so tempting."
"Is it tempting?" Yi Han raised his eyebrows. "I think it's okay. If you really want to give me this, I would actually prefer to be able to cash it in."
a27: “…”
"It's unscientific that some people don't want to be reborn." a27 muttered to himself.
"Even if I have to do it all over again, wouldn't I still be myself?" Yi Han said casually, and then did not continue the topic.
Later, a27 mentioned some work benefits, saying that after this battle, Yi Han actually met the standards of a formal employee. Strictly speaking, he was also very good among formal employees. Therefore, in addition to various levels, he can also choose to work in different real worlds, with more generous treatment, which is equivalent to traveling.
Thanks to the buff upgrade, Yi Han now has almost no opponent against ghosts and monsters. With such ability, it is obviously easier and more meaningful to solve the troubles in the real world, so he gladly accepted it and said that he would take more missions and make more money.
After a27 left, Yi Han finally had some free time and had time to check the messages on his phone.
In addition to a lot of system prompts, there are also some sent by friends.
For example, the witch girl wanted to invite the boss to dinner, and tactfully said that she didn't want to rely on her relationship to get a free meal, but just hoped to have a chance to see the cute girl version of Yi Han again...
Xiaojiu said in a bad tone, "I didn't get promoted. I'm already at this level. How can I get promoted so easily? You're so annoying!"
Yi Han was stunned for a moment before he remembered that after he came out of the illusion, he wanted to test whether he was really blocked by him, so he sent a message to ask him if he had been promoted. It seemed that Xiao Jiu did not block him, and Yi Han was a little relieved.
In addition to the two of them, there were a few players he knew before, who liked his rankings and so on, and two people even invited him to join the group chat.
If it were in the past, Yi Han would definitely ignore this kind of news, but today, for some reason, he chose to agree to join.
After entering the group, he remembered that one of the people who pulled him in was a teammate he met in the prison dungeon, and the other was a colleague in the Xiaojiu hearse dungeon. Yi Han clicked on the names of the members in the group from top to bottom and found that there were quite a lot of familiar people. Including teammates he met in dungeons such as board games and hide-and-seek, and some friends of the witch. It seems that the circle of players at this level is very small, and it is basically these familiar faces. The other group is very large, with all NPC ghosts in it, even the ghosts encountered in the endless stairs are there. The little ghost girl who was threatened by Yi Han saw him enter the group and sent an angry emoticon on the spot, which made him laugh.
After playing Porto with people in the group, Yi Han found it quite interesting and in a good mood. He put away his phone with a feeling of not wanting more.
Jian Lin and Xiao Hei are not at home today. Xiao Hei is said to have met a female leopard in the community, and the two of them agreed to go racing together. Jian Lin has signed up for a further study class and will not be back until the evening.
Since he had nothing to do, Yi Han opened the map and started choosing a location for his branch.
Now that he was relatively wealthy, he could choose any location he wanted without having to worry about the rent, so he soon finalized on a few locations, even the locations for the NPC areas and staff areas.
Then, for the next half day, he went out and visited these places for a field investigation.
At night, Yi Han finally strolled back to the shop near his home. The shop was crowded and there was a long line at the door.
"Would you like to eat here, boss?" the service puppet asked him according to the procedure.
"We're not eating here. We're having hotpot at home today." Yi Han said.
He received a message from Jian Lin on his mobile phone. The message contained a photo: Xiao Hei was drooling over the hot pot, with the caption: It can't hold it anymore!
Yi Han smiled and typed a reply, "Okay, control it, I'll be home soon."
