Chapter 57
It was both unexpected and not unexpected. Shen Yunzhe had thought about the code name and hoped that it would be discovered or that he would contact the authorities himself, but he didn't expect that he would be found out in this way.
Then Shen Yunzhe thought of the "Yuanqi Soda" that had a problem with its brain and recruited 100 people into the game field.
Well, they were discovered by the authorities in exactly the same way!
"The authorities are still identifying residents who meet the requirements, but with so many people here, they'll probably find quite a few who meet the requirements," Shen Yunzhe said. "With so many people, and only two of us able to move, it's really a bit inadequate. In the playground, we only need to make sure we stay alive."
And here they were destroying the medium and trying to protect everyone else.
Codename Hope looked around Shen Yunzhe. He subconsciously reached out and rubbed Shen Yunzhe's hair. When Shen Yunzhe looked over, he blinked and carefully withdrew his hand.
"There's no need to worry. There are also strange events related to the surprise Easter egg." Codename hoped to comfort Shen Yunzhe. "Right now, the live broadcast camera is still a bird's-eye view. Soon, the live broadcast camera will follow the strange object. By watching the live broadcast, you can know where it has gone."
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
"Um."
"But why?" Shen Yunzhe looked puzzled. "There are no spectators now, and only the players can see it. What's the point of showing this to the players?"
Codename Hope looked at Shen Yunzhe and said after a moment, "It's just what you think."
"It's just to stimulate the players."
"What the hell is a playground?"
"I don't know, but it has something to do with people's uncontrolled emotions and desires," Codename Hope recalled. "I guess extreme negative emotions can turn people into monsters."
Shen Yunzhe felt that this sentence sounded familiar, and then he remembered that he had indeed heard it before. It was Qiao Dong who told him.
Without asking any further questions, Shen Yunzhe turned on the live broadcast and continued to wait for official news.
Although he has rented in this community for more than two years, Shen Yunzhe hardly knows anyone except the three college students next door. Even the three college students next door only moved in this year. They are very outgoing and often greet Shen Yunzhe before they became familiar with him.
Shen Yunzhe had no idea who lived in this community. He only knew that someone in his building had a dog that hadn't been neutered. He would hear the dog howling at night every two days.
It didn't take long for the official news to come.
Sheng Shiming, male, Unit 3, Room 601, Building 8, is a habitual thief with a kleptomaniac habit. He's been caught stealing several times and has been administratively detained three times. A recent supermarket theft is likely his culprit, but this incident occurred before the police were ready to arrest him.
We generally agree that this person meets the requirements.
"601?" Shen Yunzhe frowned. "Isn't this the upstairs floor of my house?"
Codename Hope leaned on his shoulder, looking very intimate with him, "Don't you know there's a thief living upstairs?"
"There's nothing missing from my house." Shen Yunzhe said, putting away his phone, "Let's go up and take a look."
"oh."
Even though he had been imprisoned for more than 20 years, codenamed Xiwang was still a very smart person. Apart from voluntarily entering the small black box and seeming a little brainless, all his methods were very shrewd. He looked at Shen Yunzhe and discovered many subtle details that were inconsistent with Shen Yunzhe's appearance.
I lived in the community for two years and had no idea there was a thief upstairs. I didn't know anyone except the college students on the same floor. I kept to myself. I was polite and courteous on the surface, but I was quite cold and indifferent inside. I didn't care at all what other people looked like.
It turns out that it is not as harmless as it looks.
The elevator was silent. After seeing the little girl in red bite someone to death, no one dared to go downstairs. They were trembling at home and constantly sending messages to discuss the situation in the owners' group. Shen Yunzhe looked at the elevator and pressed the up button. As a result, as soon as he opened it, he saw a mess of dirty dolls in the elevator.
Shen Yunzhe felt that it would be better not to take this elevator.
Entering the stairwell again, Shen Yunzhe felt as he walked up that he would not climb so many stairs in a month. When he reached the fifth floor, Shen Yunzhe stopped for some reason. He remembered that the code name Hope had said before that the live broadcast camera would change and would chase the black cat.
So he asked Codename Hope to wait for him there, and he quickly ran back to the house and found a disposable mask, which he had stockpiled during the epidemic and placed next to the medicine box.
Shen Yunzhe gave the mask to Codename Xiwang. Codename Xiwang didn't ask or refuse, but lowered his head and let him put it on him obediently.
After putting it on completely, Shen Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to walk upstairs with Codename Hope, and finally arrived at the upstairs of his house, Room 601 on the 6th floor.
The decoration of Room 601 is very old. The door is still the developer's style. The password lock has not been changed and it is still an old lock. There is no doorbell. Shen Yunzhe bent his fingers and began to knock on the door, while knocking, he reproduced Sheng Shiming's information in his mind.
"Is Mr. Sheng home?" Shen Yunzhe called out, "Hello, I'm the resident downstairs from you."
After knocking for a long time, no one answered, so the man in room 602 next door carefully opened the door and stuck his head out.
"He never goes out. He's probably sleeping at home." A girl who lives next door in room 602 said timidly, "There's usually no movement until midnight, and there's takeout. Is there something you need from him?"
"Thank you. I'm in 501 downstairs." Shen Yunzhe said, "The clothes he hung out to dry fell from the balcony and landed at my house, so I wanted to bring them over to him."
"You're still in the mood to give gifts?" The girl looked at Shen Yunzhe in confusion. Realizing she had said something out of turn, she quickly covered her mouth, said sorry in a sullen voice, and slammed the door shut.
Codename Hope looked at the closed door and took out the mobile phone from Shen Yunzhe's pocket. Shen Yunzhe felt that he just glanced at him and let him look at it casually. Codename Hope tried to unlock it with his fingerprint, and it actually worked. So Codename Hope started the live broadcast as if he was familiar with it.
The live broadcast page is still flooded with comments, and since you can't see much from the God's perspective, players and officials are discussing how to deal with this.
It's great that this world is still in its infancy and they still have time to think about how to save a region ravaged by strange events. But when Codename Hope was pulled into the game, the world was almost hopeless. Even a normal person like him had heard that strange things happened in xx and half of the people in the city disappeared.
Everywhere there were protesters, collapsed people, and families of the dead who were crying so hard that they couldn't stand up.
Just then, Codename Hope, watching the live camera spinning, realized that the perspective was shifting.
Not only Codename Hope, but everyone present also noticed this.
The camera was pointed in one direction, just like their live broadcast camera in the game field, shooting directly at one of the players, but here it was shooting a strange object.
The flesh-colored cat was lying on the balcony, its silhouette blocked by the drawn curtains. It looked like a predator waiting for a mouse to appear, and it was obvious that it was in someone's home.
[The camera has changed?! Where is this cat?]
[For example, in a person's home, can the authorities make a judgment? ]
[Sheng Shiming! This is his home! ]
[S! Is S here?! That thing entered Sheng Shiming's house.]
Codename Xiwang poked Shen Yunzhe to signal him to look at the mobile phone screen. The moment Shen Yunzhe saw the message and the live camera, he frowned. He rang the doorbell again and even kicked the door this time.
"Sheng Shiming, open the door!" Shen Yunzhe shouted, "I know you are at home, open the door quickly!"
[Fuck! I think I heard S's voice. Is S locked outside?!]
[Fool! Sheng Shiming, open the door! How can an ordinary person resist a strange creature?!]
Is this S a veteran player? I'm quite curious. He actually contacted the authorities and is planning to handle this situation. Any player knows how dangerous gaming venues are, let alone something like this. Most players would avoid it.
[Let's not talk about this for now. Why doesn't Sheng Shiming open the door? ]
Yes, why doesn’t Sheng Shiming open the door?
Sheng Shiming huddled in the bedroom, staring at the door with his eyes wide open.
Yes, he has a kleptomania and has been imprisoned several times. Every time he promised that he would never do such a thing again, but this promise could not last long. Three days ago, when he went to the supermarket to shop, he still couldn't help but steal things in the supermarket.
Originally thought he just took some small things, but unexpectedly he took away a gold chain. The supermarket immediately called the police, and he was so scared that he stayed at home and dared not go anywhere.
He has been terrified for the past three days and dared not look at anything on the Internet. His mobile phone has been out of battery for two days and he has not charged it. Even now he doesn't know why he can't leave the community for no reason. His mind is now full of the thought that it is all over.
The police came to 501 downstairs, and he thought it was about a theft case. Later he found out that his sister was a police officer.
But now the resident of 501 downstairs came to his house for no reason, and he felt that it was because of this theft case.
He didn't dare to open the door, of course he didn't dare to open the door, but unfortunately this was the 6th floor and he couldn't go down from the balcony.
Can't open the door, can't open...
Shen Yunzhe watched the pink cat in the live broadcast walk out of the balcony step by step. He sighed and said, "It's too late. Come on, let's climb up the balcony!"
They went downstairs quickly.
Sheng Shiming heard no more knocking on the door. He swallowed and waited for a while. He breathed a sigh of relief after he was sure that there was really no sound. He walked out of the bedroom carefully and quietly walked to the door and looked out through the peephole. There was nothing outside.
"Gone, finally gone." He patted his chest and took a deep breath. "It's okay, it's okay. The police won't be able to find anything. Maybe the people downstairs just want to see me."
"Yes, that must be it."
"Meow."
Sheng Shiming was stunned for a moment, "Where does the cat's meow come from?"
A cat's meow sounded from behind him, and the sound gradually became sharper from steady. Sheng Shiming turned around hurriedly. The moment he turned around, he saw a pink cat. It was more like a hairless cat than pink. The pink was its skin and flesh.
It moved towards Sheng Shiming step by step, and a string of blood fell with every step.
"What is that?" Sheng Shiming subconsciously took a step back, "Why is there a cat on my balcony?!"
He couldn't help but look at his balcony to make sure the balcony window was not open.
The flesh-colored cat stared at him with its dark green vertical pupils and bared its teeth. Sheng Shiming saw its sharp teeth and the strange things wriggling, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
[Shit, is this going to be over? S, come and save me!]
[No! Look at the window!]
Shen Yunzhe returned to his home. He dismantled the diamond net on his balcony and started climbing up from the fifth floor. It was just a coincidence that he and Sheng Shiming lived on the upper and lower floors, so he could climb up like this. Shen Yunzhe used his climbing ability to stand on the narrow air-conditioning outdoor unit outside his balcony and kicked it hard several times before breaking the balcony glass.
With a bang, the sound of the glass shattering was so loud that Sheng Shiming screamed in fright, and the flesh-colored cat was also startled.
Shen Yunzhe reached out and pulled Codename Hope up. The skinned cat made threatening sounds at the two of them.
[Fuck, that kick was so cool!]
Finally got a clear look at S's face. Could he really be some celebrity? It's such a shame to see him in the game room with that look.
【Finally caught up, breath a sigh of relief.】
As long as the monster's body can be caught, many fatal problems in the playground will not be a problem for Code Hope. Obviously, the cat also realized that Code Hope is not easy to mess with. It made a threatening purring sound and pounced on Sheng Shiming, as if it wanted to get the skin immediately.
Sheng Shiming screamed in fright. He fell to the ground and put his arms in front of his face, just blocking the cat that was pouncing on him. The cat's teeth instantly pierced his arm, and he screamed in pain.
Codename Hope wanted to catch the cat, but when it failed, the cat did not continue to fight. It tore off the flesh from Sheng Shiming's arm, and the whole cat disappeared in front of them. Shen Yunzhe could even see the resentment in the cat's dark green eyes when they disappeared.
After failing to catch the cat twice, Codename Hope's mood instantly turned sour. His mind was full of how to get rid of the cat, and the atmosphere around him was gloomy.
Sheng Shiming's screams made him look down at the person lying at his feet, but that sight was too terrifying. Sheng Shiming kept backing away, his body hitting the dining table. A dinner knife fell to the ground, and Sheng Shiming immediately picked up the knife and swung it towards Code Name Hope.
Codename Xiwang didn't hide, Shen Yunzhe pulled him from behind.
The knife cut open the sleeve of Code Name Hope's clothes, but she was not hurt because she was wearing thick clothes.
A hint of regret flashed through Code Name Hope's mind.
In fact, he really wanted to be hurt, and he wanted something that could hurt him. He knew that his emotions were extreme and he might lose control at any time. A little bit of pain that would not affect his actions might be able to suppress his crazy thoughts, so he did not avoid it.
As a synchronizer, Shen Yunzhe knew what codenamed Hope was thinking, but the live broadcast audience did not know.
[Fuck! Who is that person?]
[S just saved him, but this guy turned his kindness into hatred! ]
[Call the police, call the police now! Make him go to jail until he dies!]
[It seems that the one who saved the life was not S? 】
[Who cares! The other player didn't say their name, and they never expressed who was S, so let's just call them both S!]
Code Name wanted to suppress the desire in his heart. He knew that what he did now would make Shen Yunzhe unhappy, so he immediately returned to his original well-behaved appearance and looked at Shen Yunzhe with a pitiful look. He saw that Shen Yunzhe's face looked very ugly.
"right……"
"Come with me." Shen Yunzhe spoke while Codename wanted to apologize.
Codename Hope was forced to stop talking and looked at Shen Yunzhe in a daze.
Sheng Shiming clutched the knife and looked at them in horror. Shen Yunzhe stared at him unkindly, "Don't make me say it again."
He swallowed secretly, and his regained rationality made Sheng Shiming realize that these two people seemed to be living people, and did not seem to be in the same group as the skinless cat. He trembled and let go of the knife, hurriedly got up from the ground, opened the door and went out with Shen Yunzhe, and Codename Hope blinked strangely.
Shen Yunzhe seemed to have ignored him...
They walked to the elevator. Sheng Shiming covered the wound on his arm and asked in a trembling voice, "What was that just now? Do you know?"
Shen Yunzhe looked at him without saying a word, and kicked him out unexpectedly without any warning. Sheng Shiming was kicked away in a daze. The door of the stairwell was knocked open by him, and he fell on the stairs and almost rolled down.
Not to mention Sheng Shiming, he didn’t even think of the code name Hope.
The players who were following the development of the situation were also dumbfounded.
[Huh? Kicked out?]
[Fuck, that kick was not light! ]
[S looks really angry. I'd be angry too. I saved you, yet you dare to cut me with a knife!]
"Cough, cough, cough." Sheng Shiming was lying on the ground. His whole body was in pain. He couldn't stand up and didn't dare to move. "Help, help..."
"I was wrong, cough cough, I'm sorry, I was just too scared, no, I can tell the difference." Sheng Shiming cried while coughing up blood, "He was dressed so tightly and wearing a mask, I thought... I was wrong, save me, I don't want to die."
"I can give you money, give you... everything."
Codename Xiwang walked over and tried to grab Shen Yunzhe's wrist. His cold hand touched Shen Yunzhe's warm skin. Shen Yunzhe didn't look at him, but just stared at Sheng Shiming who was lying on the ground without moving and begging for mercy.
This is not the emotional influence of Code Hope. No one knows Code Hope better than himself. He wanted to be hurt from the beginning, so being hurt by this person will not make him angry. Although he did not get what he wanted, he is just a little dissatisfied.
This emotion with sharp anger belonged to Shen Yunzhe himself.
In reality, Yue Ding was watching the live broadcast. He looked down at Shen Yunzhe's information, which was just sorted out by Qiao Dong. The threat level was written as: Extremely Low.
Very low?
"We found out!" The subordinate came running over, a little breathless from his anxiety. "We found out that Shen Yunzhe had a record of assaulting people in high school. Director Qiao also found out."
"But Director Qiao still believes that Shen Yunzhe's threat level is very low."
