The most comfortable way to play a home game console is naturally to pair it with a sofa and a large TV in the living room.
But for a worker like Li Rui who comes to the city and has no place to work, it is good enough for him to rent an old single room. If he has to pay more to rent a better and bigger house, it will be difficult for him to maintain his basic quality of life.
Of course, after unearthing the secrets of the game console, he felt that it was time for a change in his life.
In the dim room, the purple light reflected from the monitor shone on his face, hiding all of Li Rui's expressions in the folds of light and shadow.
Soon, his eyes were filled with purple, completely enveloping him. His perception of the outside world was deprived in the next second. It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment had passed.
When Li Rui regained consciousness, he came to a miniature island with a hazy halo. Standing on the edge of the island, he looked at the densely packed islands around him and couldn't help but smile inexplicably.
"This is the Dream Islands, a vast conglomerate formed from the dreams of living things." Li Rui looked at the islands below, each enveloped in a rainbow of light, and sighed softly, "Such a magnificent creation, no matter how many times you see it, you will be filled with genuine awe."
Ever since he discovered the game console's ability to enter dreams, he had been cautiously exploring its surroundings. Through initial exploration and summary, Li Rui had become able to infiltrate other people's dream islands and influence their real-life behavior through simple subconscious suggestion.
Of course, this method of infiltrating others' dreams to give them hints wasn't always smooth sailing and was fraught with unknown risks. Not everyone's dreams were safe; some were even absurd and filled with horror. If Li Rui hadn't possessed the power of a video game console, he would have long since been lost in someone else's dream island.
"Unfortunately, my abilities are limited. For now, I can only infiltrate miniature dream islands similar to mine. Those larger dream islands must contain extremely powerful individuals in reality, most likely the Force users I've seen in some ancient books."
Li Rui looked at the sky in the distance, where there were many huge floating islands. Even from such a distance, he could sense the huge danger contained in them. He knew that this was a dreamland of creatures that he could not set foot in.
However, that kind of strong person is a little far away from him, and they are not in the same world. He just wants to influence the ideas of several middle and senior managers in the company to improve his current positions and salaries and get a better quality of life.
"First, locate the islands of Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu and influence their subconscious minds so that I appear on next week's promotion list."
After Li Rui thought for a moment, a palm-sized game controller appeared out of thin air in his hand. It was engraved with densely packed strange runes. He pressed a button with an eye symbol on it, and his eyes blurred immediately. The scenes of the other dream islands disappeared in an instant, and only two islands between micro and small appeared, half a level higher than his own micro island.
This kind of island was a bit risky for him, but it was still within the controllable range. He just needed to be careful. Then he directly pressed the triangle pattern in the middle of the handle. His figure was wrapped in a purple light and immediately disappeared from the spot, leaving only the empty small island.
Shortly after he left, a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of Li Rui's dream island, and a giant hand covered with purple runes stretched out from it.
......
"Shocking! Dozens of employees of a food company in this city died suddenly at home due to unknown reasons. The Guards Inspectorate has intervened to investigate! What is behind all this? Is it a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality? Please look forward to our subsequent in-depth investigation."
"Xianxian, isn't this the reason we came all the way to Zhongxu City?"
Liu Shiyu glanced at the newspaper in her hand, pointed to a report on the corner section, and couldn't help but look at the little girl eating ice cream behind her with some surprise.
This kind of news looks like wild news, without even a formal section, and is sandwiched between a bunch of false advertisements about paying a large sum of money to have a child, making a lot of money at home, and restoring health by taking a pill.
Xu Xianxian, with her fluffy twin ponytails and a pure white lace dress, had a doll-like beauty that attracted a lot of attention. Standing next to Liu Shiyu, she nibbled at her strawberry ice cream and said, "Sometimes, fake news like this hides truths that others can't see."
"Even if it's true, this is just an ordinary murder case. Do you think you, the boss, should personally take action?" Liu Shiyu rolled his eyes and sighed: "Forget it, you are the boss, you can do whatever you want..."
Xu Xianxian casually manipulated several passersby who were about to approach her to go home and commit suicide. She waved her fist at Liu Shiyu and said excitedly, "Since that's the case, we are now the duo of Xu's Detective Agency. Let's investigate this murder case thoroughly and make sure the culprit is brought to justice."
"You are the least qualified to say that."
Liu Shiyu complained in her heart. This moody little devil had cursed and killed countless people all the way from Nanwuzhou. She would not stop him, nor did she dare to stop him.
"You don't know that I can hear your thoughts, right?"
Xu Xianxian blinked her bright big eyes and smiled sweetly.
"I suggest we go to the Health Supervision Bureau and, using our disguised identities, retrieve the case information to help identify the perpetrator."
Liu Shiyu shrugged and threw the newspaper into the trash can beside her. While changing the subject, she walked towards the Health Supervision Branch Office not far away.
......
Hesig is a mixed-race child with black hair and blue eyes. His mother is from the Xia Federation and his father is from the Rus Kingdom. This situation is not uncommon in Zhongxu City in the coastal area.
Jiangyuzhou City is one of the most developed states in the Federation and is very inclusive. People of all races can often be seen in this state.
Hesger, who grew up in the Xia Federation, has the same way of thinking as other federal people. After going through layers of selection and assessment, he became a glorious federal guard of the Guard Supervision Office.
Contrary to what most people think, the work at the Health Supervision Bureau, while highly compensated, is actually fraught with many unpredictable dangers. Because one sometimes has to deal with extraordinary criminals, casualties are inevitable.
Just like the recent serial murder case in the dream, their branch office has already seen numerous deaths, some even transformed into inexplicable monsters due to the contamination. The City Headquarters is completely consumed by this, with seemingly no good solution. Rumors suggest that the higher-ups from the State Headquarters will be sending a few officials, but the specific date hasn't been set yet. Guards like them will still be needed to maintain order and suppress public opinion.
However, just as Hesger was sorting out the documents and preparing to hand them over to his partner, the door of his office was pushed open.
