Chapter 58
"Why?"
"Because I think it's insignificant."
Yue Ding quickly turned his head and saw Qiao Dong standing there panting.
"Qiao Dong?" Yue Ding stood up. "You're out?"
"Well, the time in the playground is different from real life. I was there for a week, which is only a short period of time in real life." Qiao Dong exhaled. "How is it over there?"
Yue Ding breathed a sigh of relief. He ordered his subordinates to quickly retrieve the clues they had compiled. Then he asked, "Did you know there was another player besides Shen Yunzhe?"
"I don't know, but that's normal." Qiao Dong sat in a chair next to Yue Ding, calming his breathing. He tried to calm his nervous thoughts on the gaming floor and get back to the real work as quickly as possible. "We can confirm that less than a third of the players are in the gaming floor. I don't know how many players are hiding in the crowd."
"What happened to Shen Yunzhe's wounding incident?"
Qiao Dong felt like he had almost recovered. He took a breath and began, "I've investigated this matter before. It happened when he was in high school. Shen Yunzhe came from an orphanage but excelled academically, earning admission to the best high school in their area. As a poor student, his tuition was waived, and he worked weekends and summer vacations to save for college. That's when he was targeted and blackmailed."
School violence has always been a difficult problem to solve, especially high school violence incidents, which often involve some social thugs, all of whom are minors.
They targeted Shen Yunzhe because he was an orphan with no connections or background. Since he entered high school, he no longer returned to the orphanage. He usually lived in school and worked during holidays. Even so, he could maintain excellent grades.
It is normal for a rich person without family to be targeted.
But Shen Yunzhe is not someone who is easy to bully. He seems to be quiet, but he is actually a tough guy who is not easy to mess with. He did not give money, nor did he remain silent. He directly resisted.
The final result was that all three blackmailers were admitted to the hospital, and one of them suffered a concussion and was unconscious for three days. The parents went to the school to make a fuss. Considering that Shen Yunzhe was acting in self-defense, the school protected Shen Yunzhe, did not ask him to admit his mistake, and did not ask him to pay a penny for medical expenses. However, due to the bad influence, the school still arranged for him to transfer schools, which was also to protect him.
After transferring to another school, Shen Yunzhe settled down and finally got into a good university with his good grades. After graduation, he stayed in the city where the university was located to work. Because of his good academic qualifications and work ability, his salary was higher than that of normal people. This time he was fired because the company could not survive due to the epidemic and had to go bankrupt.
"So I don't think this incident is enough to prove that he is a threat." Qiao Dong said and let out a breath.
Yue Ding nodded, "Indeed, this is not his problem."
"Shen Yunzhe is a capable man for having survived all the way through the gaming arena." Yue Ding watched him on the livestream. "He's the only one left out of 100. I would have believed him even if someone said he was a vicious bastard. I didn't expect it to be just a minor incident, and it wasn't even his fault."
"There aren't many people as determined as him." Qiao Dong sighed. "I just saw the news. He kicked Sheng Shiming because he almost hurt another player. It can be regarded as protecting his companions. No one would think that his behavior was inappropriate."
"Sheng Shiming was unreasonable first, he deserved to be kicked."
Yue Ding and Qiao Dong reached a consensus. They nodded with satisfaction and continued to observe the developments inside.
At this point, the live broadcast was no longer completely from a God's perspective. It changed with the cat's position, but soon the camera image switched, and everyone present realized that the cat was moving in many positions at the same time.
[Fuck, the scene flashed so fast, I felt like I saw someone’s heart being ripped out!]
[This is also the case.]
【This cat suddenly moves so fast! 】
Is it to get two more skins as quickly as possible? S seems to be able to directly threaten the strange creatures. The black cat has been avoiding him.
[Where's S? Watching the live stream? Time to take action!]
At this time, Shen Yunzhe was not watching the live broadcast at all. His mobile phone was in the hands of Code Name Hope. Sheng Shiming was still begging for mercy, hoping that Shen Yunzhe would save him. Shen Yunzhe frowned, looking completely impatient. At this moment, Shen Yunzhe heard a scream.
The scream came from upstairs. Shen Yunzhe looked up and heard the scream again.
Shen Yunzhe realized that many people were being attacked at the same time.
He immediately turned around and walked downstairs, but was grabbed by Sheng Shiming's trouser leg. Sheng Shiming, with blood on his hands, looked at him in fear, but the instinct for survival made him grab Shen Yunzhe.
“Save me, save me!”
Shen Yunzhe looked like he wanted to step on his hand, but in the end he squatted down to look at his injury. His wrist was bitten through by the cat and blood was flowing down, but he was lucky. Although there was a big cut, the artery was not injured.
"You won't die." Shen Yunzhe said, "Go home and hold it down with something. If the bleeding doesn't stop, tie something around the wound."
Sheng Shiming realized that Shen Yunzhe would not provide him with any more help. He let go of his hand tremblingly and watched Shen Yunzhe go downstairs. The man wearing a mask also followed Shen Yunzhe away without hesitation.
Sheng Shiming sat up crying, but was in so much pain that he couldn't sit still.
"Damn it... man, I'm going to call the police, have you arrested, and put you in jail."
“It hurts. It hurts so much.”
After going downstairs, Shen Yunzhe found that the screams were getting more and more. He felt in his pocket for his cell phone. Codename wanted to know what he wanted to see, and handed him the phone the next moment. The phone interface was the live broadcast interface, so they saw the constantly switching images and the discussions of the players on the live broadcast.
Black cats hunt on a large scale.
[Just now I saw a woman wearing a gold chain flash by. Is she the one who often steals things from relatives?]
[Also, a little while ago, a child was knocked down. I remember that child often took his friends' toys home.]
[Fuck, it really is the condition of taking someone else's things without permission. S is no ordinary person. He figured out this condition just by looking at the first man who died. With such keen observation skills, having him as a companion in the playground would be like a duck in water!]
[But this way, it will be difficult for S to find the black cat's true form, let alone the medium.]
What should I do?
Shen Yunzhe also realized this problem. The black cat was killing people and would get the human shell after killing them. In this way, it would be difficult for Shen Yunzhe to track its location.
Moreover, too many people died.
Shen Yunzhe could only click into the owners' group, which was still refreshing. This time the messages turned into fear and calls for help. They could no longer deceive themselves that this was just a "search for science", but a real ghost demanding their lives.
He had no way of reminding everyone, so he could only send a message to the owners' group.
【If you see a cat, run away immediately and don't let it catch you. 】
[The key point is that anyone who has taken other people's things without permission, especially those without permission, should get away quickly. You are the cat's target!]
【Meow. 】
Shen Yunzhe frowned as he looked at the word "meow".
[Whoever took my skin, meow, give it back to me.]
【If you don’t give it back to me, I’ll go find it myself. 】
【Give me your skins as compensation, meow.】
"The medium is still cat skin, and it seems that this cat doesn't even know where its own skin is." Codename Hope spoke up, as if judging that Shen Yunzhe was no longer so angry, "We can use the cat skin to lure it out."
Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look at Code Name Hope, and the figure of Code Name Hope was reflected in his black eyes.
At this time, Codename Xiwang is wearing his thick down jacket, not only the hood of the down jacket, but also a mask. Although the exposed eyebrows and eyes are similar to Shen Yunzhe, his eyelashes and pupils are silver-white, and the different tones make them less similar.
He hid Codename Hope well, and Codename Hope also obediently covered her face without any objection.
"Shen Yunzhe?"
"It's hard to say whether you don't know where your hide is, but you can lure it out." Shen Yunzhe said, "You just need to meet the conditions for being attacked by it."
The condition for the black cat to attack people is to take other people's things without permission, so Shen Yunzhe stuffed the mobile phone to Code Name Hope, and at the same time took out another mobile phone from Code Name Hope's pocket.
It was Hou Zheng’s cell phone that he had picked up from the ground.
This can be considered as taking something without asking.
Codename Hope was holding Shen Yunzhe's cell phone, which still carried Shen Yunzhe's warmth. He carefully put the phone into his pocket and continued to follow Shen Yunzhe. Shen Yunzhe held Hou Zheng's cell phone and realized that Hou Zheng was the property manager. He should have the owner group of all the communities.
So Shen Yunzhe opened Hou Zheng’s WeChat group and sent the message he had just reminded everyone in the group, regardless of whether the owners were interested in reading the group chat.
Just then, there were replies in several group chats.
[Was that Hou Zheng's speech just now?]
[What the hell? Wasn't he bitten to death by a little girl in red at the door?!]
[Who sent this message? Could it be Hou Zheng's ghost?!]
Oh my god!
Shen Yunzhe: ...
To overdo things.
He could only explain to everyone in the group chat one by one that he was not Hou Zheng, but the one who wanted to save someone but failed. He used his phone to notify everyone. Unfortunately, only a few people replied this time. He didn't know if they were scared by him.
Codename wanted to see him finish his work. They had just made arrangements to wait for Black Cat to come, so they could only wait where they were.
Shen Yunzhe sat down on the bench, looking at the confusing news and trying to find a breakthrough, appearing very quiet.
After making sure it wouldn't affect Shen Yunzhe, Codename Hope finally spoke, "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Yunzhe turned to look at him.
"You're unhappy." Codename Hope reached out and grabbed his sleeve. He was used to this cautious gesture that easily softened people's hearts. "I'm not hurt. You protected me. Thank you. I'm sorry. Can you please not be unhappy?"
Then Codename Hope felt as if he was even more unhappy.
"Don't talk to me like that, like you've done something wrong." Shen Yunzhe said, "You don't think you're wrong at all. It's fine if you do it for others to see, but what's the point of doing it for me?"
Codename Hope fell silent, not knowing how to start.
He hadn't spoken for more than 20 years, and before he went in, he was a person who usually liked to pretend to be weak. Of course, he was indeed as hypocritical as Shen Yunzhe said, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
But Shen Yunzhe said so.
Codename tried to find his original expression, but found that he couldn't find it. Finally, he found a way, which was to say whatever he thought.
"You really are a lot like me." Codename Hope was still tugging at his sleeve, but without that pitiful air. "As long as something is considered yours, you absolutely won't allow anyone else to touch it. Just like I don't like others touching you, do you also not want others to touch me?"
"Should I be happy? Because you think I'm yours..."
"I rarely get close to anyone. I feel like I hate myself, but I like you very much." Codename Hope couldn't help but show a little habitual closeness. "I still remember you told me not to do anything that would hurt myself. I was wrong. I won't do that again."
Shen Yunzhe looked at him silently.
"Shen Yunzhe?"
Shen Yunzhe looked at him subtly, "You should be thankful that you have a brain and legs, unlike other dolls."
Codename Hope was a little confused.
He recalled the dolls in Shen Yunzhe's cabinet, but still didn't understand.
Shen Yunzhe didn't want him to understand, so he turned around and continued to look at the messages on his phone, but he was absent-minded.
In fact, when he was in the orphanage, Shen Yunzhe had a doll.
She had long golden hair, pink eyes, and was wearing a beautiful little dress. He had never seen the style of the dress before, and all the children were envious of it. The dean gave it to Shen Yunzhe during the distribution process.
The doll was donated by a wealthy family. It was a replacement toy for their daughter, and they donated it to the orphanage because they didn't want it to go to waste.
Shen Yunzhe owned it for a day.
What is an orphanage? It is a place without favoritism. Every child has an equal share. Everything is shared: dishes, beds, snacks, the director's love, even the toys in their hands.
He can only own this doll for one day. It is no longer his doll. Tomorrow it will be someone else's doll.
At that time, Shen Yunzhe went to ask the dean why he couldn't own a whole doll that belonged only to him.
The director told him: This doll belongs to the orphanage, and every child wants to have it, but there is only one doll, so everyone can take turns to own it. This is the fairness of the orphanage, and it is a way that everyone will be happy.
Shen Yunzhe doesn't like this kind of fairness, and he doesn't like this kind of average concept.
He carried the doll back to the dormitory, cut the doll's skirt into pieces at night, twisted the doll's joints, and finally carried the doll to the roof and threw it down. The doll broke into pieces when it hit the ground, and he looked at the broken doll expressionlessly.
The next day, he woke up crying, saying that his doll was missing.
At that time, there was no surveillance in the orphanage, and no one saw him take the doll to the roof. The teachers hurried over and found the broken doll. No child admitted that they had stolen the doll, and no one admitted that they were jealous of Shen Yunzhe.
But everyone and the teachers in the orphanage knew that because Shen Yunzhe did not have the same surname as them and was the first to get the doll, the children secretly hated him.
The matter was left unresolved, but no one liked a broken doll, so in the end the bad doll returned to Shen Yunzhe's hands.
Shen Yunzhe sat quietly on the steps holding the bad baby.
The dean found him and sat down next to him.
The dean asked him, "Is it worth it?"
"Everyone owns a doll for a day, and one day it will come back to you, still beautiful, not broken."
But what's not worth it? Shen Yunzhe just wants to have a doll of his own, even if it's broken.
As long as it is his, even if he twists it or breaks it, it is still his.
Codenamed Hope is also his exquisite doll, his, a doll that is not allowed to be touched by others, let alone scratched by others. Shen Yunzhe can break the joints of the doll himself and throw it down from the upstairs, but he does not allow others to touch his doll.
No one can.
Codename Hope couldn't stand the loneliness anymore. He stayed in the little black box for too long and couldn't help touching and poking here and there. He grabbed a handful of snow again and watched curiously as the snow melted in his palm. Ignoring his inconsistency, he really was like a little child.
Shen Yunzhe consciously brushed off the snow from his hands and clenched his cold palms.
"You only have three days, so get it done quickly. I'll take you out for a stroll during the remaining time."
Code Name Hope's eyes lit up and he was happy.
As for Shen Yunzhe, he is willing to be nicer to his baby.
