Chapter 167
At this time, Shen Yunzhe didn't know that Li Yuluan saw him in trouble. He was concentrating on looking at the record book 1-2.
But to be honest, although this record book records some things, it is not as comprehensive as imagined, especially it is double-standard, after all, it is an accessory of the game field.
Shen Yunzhe put one hand in his pocket, came out and closed the door of room 1-2.
The cause of death of girl 1-2 is unclear, and there is no clue except that she shouted that the Virgin Mary was a hoax.
"Shen Yunzhe." Someone called him.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head and saw Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua walking out of the corridor.
"Good morning." Shen Yunzhe greeted them.
"Is it time to say good morning now?" Li Yiluan came over. "Go to your room first. Something's going on."
Huang Yihua nodded behind him.
Shen Yunzhe asked them to come into the house. In the room, Huang Yihua and Li Yulun talked about the 5-3 players and said that they didn't know how many of them were no longer the same as before, and hoped that Shen Yunzhe could identify them.
"That's possible." Shen Yunzhe nodded, "But I think I know what the 5-3 player situation is."
"You know?!" The two were a little surprised.
Shen Yunzhe said, "I met with the property management last night and learned something. They seemed to say that living in this community is an honor, and many people want to become residents, but only so many people can become residents. The rest will find ways to replace the current residents."
"They would pretend to be property management or something and knock on your door at 10pm. As soon as you open the door, you will be replaced."
"So that's how it is." Huang Yihua's face turned grim. "Is this the third invisible rule?"
"Yeah." Shen Yunzhe nodded. "One more thing. The residents of this complex must have a certain sense of superiority, especially towards those who can't become residents. This sense of superiority makes them do some things. One or two residents open the window and make cookies in the living room, enjoying the envious looks from people outside."
The two thought about this scene and frowned.
This is indeed twisted.
Then Li Yiluan reacted, "How do you know what the 1-2 residents will do?"
He still remembered that he had looked at Shen Yunzhe's record book yesterday, which recorded all the terrible actions of the strange creatures 1-2.
How come after not seeing her for one night, Shen Yunzhe even knew what she did at home?
"Last night, 1-2 came knocking on the door again. As was my occupational hazard, I told her the cause of her death, and she collapsed." Shen Yunzhe said expressionlessly, "After her collapse, she started cursing the Virgin Mary. Then the Virgin Mary appeared and killed her. I pried open her door this morning and found her record book."
"I forgot to tell you guys just now, sorry."
Huang Yihua and Li Yulu were silent. They looked at each other for a moment and then turned to look at Shen Yunzhe.
Can a normal player really encounter such a thing? When a normal player encounters such a thing, will the first thing they think of is to pry open the door of the strange creature's house?
Huang Yihua thought: She was still conservative. Li Yulun could not compare with Shen Yunzhe. At least Li Yulun did not break into Hu Mingli's door.
"Occupational disease?" Li Yiluan noticed another problem. "What occupational disease can you directly reveal the cause of death of the strange creature?"
"Forensic doctor."
"Forensic doctor?" Li Yiluan raised his eyebrows slightly. "You are now a forensic doctor. It seems like I haven't seen you in this capacity for a long time."
"Because I've been using more practical identities lately, the practicality of a forensic doctor tends to focus more on personality and spirituality." Shen Yunzhe answered very seriously: "So, in a game that requires stability, using the forensic doctor identity is more useful."
Li Yiluan nodded, "I understand."
Huang Yihua, who was watching: ???
What did she understand? Why didn't she understand anything?
She chose to care only about what she could understand.
"If that's the case, and we assume that 1-2 strange creatures represent the entire neighborhood, then perhaps all the strange creatures in this neighborhood are deceased residents," Huang Yihua speculated. "And their cause of death is related to the Virgin Mary. When the cause of death is revealed, they will briefly regain their memories and collapse."
"Perhaps we can really start from these strange things to understand the situation of the Virgin Mary."
The huge statue of Our Lady tells every player that Our Lady is very important in the playground and what it may represent, and this Our Lady playground is the way to resolve all doubts.
Shen Yunzhe thought about it and agreed, "You can try it. It's very dangerous to start with strange things, so be careful."
"As for the strange creatures disguised as players, the 3pm pilgrimage is when the most players are present. I will try to identify them and give you the list afterwards."
Li Yiluan patted his shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you. I'll go and see if I can find the cause of death from the strange creature."
"Daoyou, come and help too."
Taoist friend Huang Yihua sighed, "Actually, I'm not very skilled. I can only draw talismans, not tell fortunes."
The division of labor was clear. Shen Yunzhe sent them away. At this moment, Shen Yunzhe saw another gap open at the door of 1-3.
The red eyes stared at him, but only half of the eyes were exposed, and Shen Yunzhe could still see jealousy in this eye.
Shen Yunzhe looked at him, "Hello, neighbor."
"Hello." The door opened again. "Are they your friends? They've been here several times, and it seems like they always come to your house to play."
"Yes, they are my friends." Shen Yunzhe said, "We chatted yesterday and unexpectedly discovered that we have similar interests. We naturally became friends. Now we can talk about anything and even agreed to go together on the pilgrimage at 3 pm."
1-3's eyes were fixed on Shen Yunzhe.
"I'm so envious, that's great."
"I also want to make friends, lots of friends."
"You're amazing," he said. "You've only moved in two days and you've already made two friends. If you keep this up, you'll definitely make friends in the entire neighborhood."
He kept murmuring, "When can I be like you?"
Shen Yunzhe saw the jealousy and greed in his eyes, especially when he said "like you".
"I couldn't make friends, even though I lived in the Xiangsheng community. They said I wasn't devout enough to the Virgin Mary, so I couldn't have my wishes come true."
"You must be very religious to have so many friends."
Shen Yunzhe took a step back and said with a smile: "Don't say that, we can be friends, really."
1-3's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. The door slammed shut, and this strange neighbor once again ended the conversation in such an impolite way.
The smile on Shen Yunzhe's face also disappeared. He looked at the door of room 1-3 with a subtle look in his eyes, and turned back to the room.
He was thinking about something, something that Huang Yihua had been thinking about before, something he was extending his imagination.
The girl in 1-3 wished to make good friends to eat cookies with, but in fact she came here to show off. She had a full sense of superiority and even opened the curtains to make cookies in the sight of people outside, and then gave the cookies to her neighbors.
This behavior is more about maintaining her sense of superiority than being friendly.
In the end, she died from falling from a high altitude, possibly jumping from a building. This is a way of dying from falling from a high place to the ground. If it is artistically processed, it can also be said to be a fall from a high sense of superiority.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhe glanced at the notebook at the door.
It seems that the wishes written on the door may not be as real as one might imagine. After all, they are exposed in public, and who would be willing to tell others about their wishes? They are just for show, while everyone's wishes are deeply engraved in their hearts.
Since the wishes filled in were false, then this record book became the standard for them to judge the situation in two days...could it be true?
They accepted the setting of this book so quickly. If there really is a problem, then everyone will be cheated.
[As a police officer, the codename Forensic Doctor has a higher sensitivity to criminal thinking, which is indeed very suitable for the current situation.]
The terrifying thing about this record book is that even the person with code name Sleep Disorder didn't care about it, or rather, the person with Sleep Disorder was not willing to care about it. He liked to have fun, and being happy was the most important thing.
But the code name forensic doctor is different.
He immediately extended this to the present after realizing this problem.
From now on, Shen Yunzhe will be careful with this record book. He will not disbelieve it, but he will not believe it completely either.
Breakfast was the instant food that was distributed at three o'clock yesterday. Shen Yunzhe ate while looking at the contents. He didn't eat much because he really didn't like eating. As long as it could provide enough energy to the body, he would stop eating. To be honest, it was a strange thing that only by making a pilgrimage could he get food.
And the person distributing food seemed to be similar to the people outside who were watching eagerly.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhe walked to the door. He reached out and pulled open the curtains. The next moment, he was face to face with a face stuck on the window. They looked at each other, and Shen Yunzhe saw that his mouth was opening and closing as he spoke.
The windows were well soundproofed, so Shen Yunzhe couldn't hear what he was saying, but the code-named forensic doctor could read lips, so he could definitely understand what he was saying.
'The Xiang Sheng Community is a huge conspiracy.'
"The Virgin Mary is no longer able to fulfill people's wishes. Her lamp has run out of oil. It is useless for you to live in it."
"I can pay for it, as long as I can live there."
'The 1-2 slot will be mine, it will definitely be me!'
Shen Yunzhe simply pulled the curtains shut. He really couldn't accept someone lying on his window and talking nonsense.
They persisted like this until three o'clock in the afternoon. Shen Yunzhe heard a familiar ringtone and came out of the door to wait for Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua. They came down soon and the three of them walked out of the community together.
Today was the same as yesterday, with the monsters kneeling in front and the players squatting and waiting in the back.
Li Yilun and Huang Yihua whispered, "Did you see any players that looked wrong?"
[World D05020, codename Calligrapher, syncing, sync rate 80%.]
In an instant, countless voices flooded into Shen Yunzhe's mind. Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly and covered his ears, but this voice was not an ordinary voice but the words in his heart. There was no way to block those words. Shen Yunzhe could only adapt himself first and then think of a way after adapting.
"Shen Yunzhe? Are you okay?" Li Yuluan asked. He noticed Shen Yunzhe's unnatural expression for a moment.
This expression seems to be uncomfortable.
"It's okay." Shen Yunzhe slowly put down his hand. He felt his throat tightening and a little bit of addiction came up.
Want to smoke.
The noisier the environment, the more he wants to smoke. Although it is a bad habit, there is no other way. Codename Calligrapher has been relying on smoking to suppress his irritation when hearing messy noises for so long that it has become a conditioned reflex.
"I'm counting on my left hand, this is the third one." Shen Yunzhe clearly identified the first person who was wrong among the players.
Huang Yihua took a look and said, "It's Hu Mingli."
Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly, "The fourth one too."
"...He too?" Huang Yihua's face turned pale. "5-6 players."
"On the same floor as you?" Li Yiluan looked at Huang Yihua. "You're even more unlucky than Shen Yunzhe. You're the only one still alive among the players on the same floor. The rest have all been replaced."
Shen Yunzhe continued, "The eighth one."
"3-8 players."
"Next, count to the right." Shen Yunzhe closed his eyes and listened to the voice. After a long time, he turned his head and took a look. "2, 5, 6."
"3-2 players, 4-6 players and the last one is 7-5 players."
Shen Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief, "That's all."
"That's all?" Li Yiluan's face turned grim. "It's not just... six replaced players, and one player who died on the first night. In other words, we lost seven people on the first night alone. We don't even know how six of those seven died."
Huang Yihua's face also looked unhappy. She didn't expect the loss on the first night to be so outrageous.
These players are obviously veteran players, yet they opened the door to the strange creatures at night, causing such a large number of casualties.
"I didn't expect this at all," Huang Yihua said. "This playground is not simple. It's too difficult."
"This is the core game field, right?" Li Yiluan sighed. "Anyway, let's try to think of a way to at least go into the home of one of the replaced players and look at the record book."
"Only in this way can we determine what happened to them."
This is indeed necessary because the record book is their only source of information now. The strange objects are too dangerous, so they have to proceed very carefully and cannot be too hasty.
"If it's just one person, I have a way." Shen Yunzhe said, "We can try it later."
After he finished speaking, Shen Yunzhe found that no one responded, and he looked to the side in surprise.
Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua looked at him in surprise.
It was a long time before Huang Yihua spoke. There was a bit of exasperation in her tone, and she finally had the feeling of a young girl.
"Tell me the truth, what else can you do?!" Huang Yihua asked, "How come you know everything and can do everything?! Are you a supercomputer?!"
Shen Yunzhe was silent. "Supercomputers are science, but I am pseudoscience. I am a product of the mysticism."
"A mysterious product of a mystic?" Li Yiluan touched his chin and nodded. "That makes sense."
…
"We have to choose a player." After the pilgrimage, they brought their food into the community. Li Yuluan and the other two stood at Shen Yunzhe's door to discuss.
"Who to choose?"
Huang Yihua thought for a moment and said, "Hu Mingli, who is 5-3, can't do that. He knocked on my door yesterday and must have been alarmed."
"So who do you think is better?" Li Yiluan said, "This time, none of us players are united. Part of the reason is that we're living with strange creatures, so it's hard to tell if it's a real player knocking on the door. Also, the strange creatures visiting us creates a heightened sense of tension, making them even less willing to communicate with other players."
"7-5 player," Huang Yihua said, "Let's pick it."
"Player 7-5 isn't from an official background, and she's a woman. My knocking on the door won't be too noticeable. And most importantly, she's the only player on the 7th floor, so even if we go up there, we won't attract attention."
Li Yiluan nodded when he heard this. "It does sound very suitable. Shen Yunzhe, what do you think?"
Shen Yunzhe didn't object. "No problem, let's choose it."
After making the decision, they did not delay. After putting the food they received back in the room, they immediately gathered on the seventh floor. After making sure that they were not noticed by other players, they came to the door of 7-5.
Huang Yihua stuck a talisman inside her clothes. Although it didn't have much effect, it at least gave her some psychological comfort. She also stuck it on Li Yuluan and Shen Yunzhe.
After making all the necessary preparations, Huang Yihua breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to press the doorbell.
Soon, a voice came from inside the door, "Who?"
"It's me." Huang Yihua said, "I'm Huang Yihua, I have something to tell you."
As expected, the other party had no doubts, or rather, there was no need for hesitation for the strange creature. With a click, the door opened, and a very beautiful woman walked out of room 7-5. She was not wearing any makeup, but her beauty could be felt even without makeup.
It’s just strange that such a beauty’s movements are somewhat rough and her postures are quite casual.
Huang Yihua raised her eyes slightly. She didn't remember the woman being in this posture before.
[World D00801, Codename Fraudster has been synchronized, synchronization rate 100%]
[World C07390, Codename: Erosion has been synchronized, synchronization rate 100%]
【Let’s have a cross-world collaboration. 】
Shen Yunzhe's mind buzzed. He didn't expect the system to be so big that it synchronized two isotopes at once and raised the synchronization rate of him, codenamed Fraudster, to 100%. The last time he synchronized multiple isotopes was in a movie theater. That time, Shen Yunzhe was completely unconscious and was directly dominated.
The system actually dares to do it again!
[Code Fraudster and Code Corrosion have complementary roles, making them less difficult to control, similar to Code Doctor and Code Forensic.]
Shen Yunzhe silently clicked his tongue in his heart. He walked over from behind Huang Yihua and snapped his fingers in front of the woman.
There was a snap, and the woman turned her head to look at him.
"Hello." Shen Yunzhe looked into the woman's eyes. "We have something very important to do right now. Could you please let us in?"
"You'll help us, right?"
The woman and Shen Yunzhe looked at each other, her eyes began to become dazed, and she slowly opened her mouth and uttered a word.
"Of course no problem, we are teammates and friends, come in now."
Shen Yunzhe looked at her, her figure reflected in his black eyes. "Are you very tired? I'm sorry, I don't know why, but when I look at you, I always feel that you are very tired."
"Tired, tired..."
Under the horrified eyes of Huang Yihua and Li Yuluan, the woman suddenly began to break down and cry.
"I'm so tired, I'm really tired!"
"Why wasn't I chosen as a resident? Why did I have to go through so much trouble to become one?"
"Holy Mother! Aren't you a Holy Mother?! If you are a Holy Mother, why did you refuse our help? Why do you categorize people into different classes?"
"You are not a saint! Your love for us is not equal love!"
Shen Yunzhe: ...Huh?
Is that a bit too much?
