Chapter 61
"You really don't know who the other player is?"
"have no idea."
"He's always been by your side, and he obviously knows you. It's rare for players to trust each other like that."
"I don't know, maybe he is kind-hearted."
Qiao Dong stared at Shen Yunzhe. "Shen Yunzhe, do you know how important this player is to us?"
"I know, but there's nothing I can do about it." Shen Yunzhe said with a smile, "Don't tell me I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. He was so brave to come out and protect me, risking his life to help me, and I turned around and betrayed him. How could that be?"
Qiao Dong sighed, "Okay."
In fact, he had no intention of getting any information about this person from Shen Yunzhe at the beginning. This was just a routine inquiry. It would be great if he could get new information, but it would not be surprising if he didn't.
If Shen Yunzhe had really told them casually, he would have looked down on Shen Yunzhe. Fortunately, Shen Yunzhe was not affected by it, which was also a good thing.
Walking out of the conference room door, Qiao Dong came out with documents and happened to meet Yue Ding who was dealing with the survivor issue.
Yue Ding is a non-staff member of a special department. He particularly likes to disguise himself and is good at inciting emotions. It is the best choice to let him deal with these survivors. Judging from his relaxed expression, he should have already handled it. The next step is to figure out how to explain this matter to the society.
This strange invasion caused the deaths of more than one hundred people in total, and countless ordinary residents saw cats and corpses being killed.
"Didn't find out anything?" Yue Ding used a question, but his tone sounded affirmative.
Qiao Dong nodded. "Shen Yunzhe said he didn't know him, but they just happened to meet and decided to act together."
"It's normal that he didn't say anything. That kid is quite proud." Yue Ding put his hands in his pockets. "There's no footage from the surveillance camera?"
"No, that layer of fog probably separated the entire community from the real world. The surveillance cameras were connected to the property management's monitoring room, and none of the surveillance cameras captured any footage. What we saw on the Easter Egg live broadcast was unique. That thing can't record anything."
Yue Ding smiled and said, "There's absolutely no evidence. Shen Yunzhe is a meritorious official. We can't keep him here forever. When will we let him go?"
"After taking the statement, there are still some details that need to be discussed." Qiao Dong raised his wrist to check the time. "It will be evening before we finish."
Yue Ding nodded calmly, then said, "I have some clues here."
"What?"
"It's not like everyone didn't see the mysterious player's face. He wasn't wearing a mask at first."
Qiao Dong opened his eyes wide in surprise. He remembered that Yue Ding had just gone to deal with the problem of the survivors.
"Could it be that someone among the survivors actually saw his appearance?!"
"One of Shen Yunzhe's neighbors is a university student majoring in journalism," Yue Ding said. "He was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital for stitches when he was rescued. It's said that Shen Yunzhe provided emergency hemostasis for his wounds, and there was another person with Shen Yunzhe."
Yue Ding recalled his conversation with the college student.
"He said: The person next to Shen Yunzhe was always very quiet. Although he was wearing a hat, you could see that his hair was white and his eyelashes were also white."
Qiao Dong was surprised, "An old man?"
"On the contrary, he looks exactly like Shen Yunzhe except for his hair color."
Qiao Dong was stunned.
"According to Shen Yunzhe, this person is his twin brother. He met him on the street and found that they looked exactly like each other, so he brought him back to the community. His name is Shen Yunxi."
"Family? Twin brother?" Qiao Dong frowned. He was obviously overwhelmed by the news. "Huh?"
You should know that Shen Yunzhe is an orphan. After contacting the authorities, they sorted out Shen Yunzhe's files and learned that he was a child thrown into an orphanage since he was young. He took the director's surname Shen. The orphanage took him through elementary and junior high school. He relied on his excellent grades to take the self-study exam to enter the best high school.
There was no information about his family in any of his files.
"I don't know what's going on, but they definitely look exactly the same, except for their hair and eyebrows dyed white." Yue Ding seemed quite interested. "It sounds like this person seems to be more lively than Shen Yunzhe, not to mention that he would follow Shen Yunzhe."
"That's not right." Qiao Dong shouted, "The most important question now is why he suddenly disappeared. Regardless of whether he is Shen Yunzhe's younger brother or not, he disappeared from the community we surrounded!"
At this moment, the code-named Hope, who was being cared about by many parties, had already left the community and was walking on the street ten kilometers away from the community.
It snowed the day before yesterday. Although the road was cleared urgently, it was still slippery. There were few cars on the streets, and not many people were outside because of the cold. Codename Hope stepped on the snow on the roadside step by step. He stared at the white snow curiously, and listened curiously to the sound of the snow under his feet.
A gust of wind blew over, and the strong wind lifted his hat. Codename Hope was not afraid of the cold, he just lowered his head and continued to step on the snow.
"Shen Yunzhe?" He heard someone calling Shen Yunzhe.
A car drove by, making a screeching sound. Codename Hope frowned, but didn't look up or cover her ears.
"Shen...isn't it?" The voice continued, "Who are you?"
Codename Hope ignored him until the man came over and stood in front of him, staring at him.
It was really hard to pretend not to know when someone was watching him, so Codename Hope looked back at him. The man was wearing a sophisticated black jacket, sunglasses, and Chinese-style buttons. He looked more like a fortune teller than before.
Li Yilun.
After judging Shen Yunzhe to be in danger of a bloody disaster, he didn't take it seriously. He received a transfer from Shen Yunzhe in the evening. As a result, the next day he saw the live broadcast sequel of the surprise easter egg, and the unlucky Shen Yunzhe was involved in it.
After seeing that the live broadcast issue was resolved, he was going to come and see if Shen Yunzhe was okay, and by the way, ask for the remaining 270 yuan. He was very accurate in fortune-telling!
As a result, I met this person who looked exactly like Shen Yunzhe on the road.
"It's really the same." Li Yiluan took off his sunglasses and looked Codename Hope up and down. "Who are you? Not this outfit... the player next to Shen Yunzhe?!"
Codename Hope stared at him as if he was looking at a bird. Seeing that Li Yuluan didn't move, he lowered his head and continued to step on the snow.
Don't take Li Yuluan seriously at all.
Li Yuluan felt that it was extremely troublesome.
This is the mysterious player beside Shen Yunzhe, the ruthless guy who can cause direct damage to strange objects. Not to mention the official, every ordinary player wants to know him. He is almost the only one among all the players, and his ability ensures that he is safe in the game field.
This is a life-saving talisman!
Moreover, she looks exactly like Shen Yunzhe, so no one would believe that she has no relationship with Shen Yunzhe.
Li Yuluan frowned, he paced anxiously, and began to think about what to do now. This person was very important, but this person was related to Shen Yunzhe. It would be too troublesome to intervene, but if he ignored it, it was Shen Yunzhe again. Although Shen Yunzhe only gave him 30 yuan for fortune-telling, he did save him in the last game field after all.
Even if it weren't for Shen Yunzhe, he might not have been able to leave the game field.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and made a voice call to Shen Yunzhe, but the other party didn't answer. Li Yuluan called three times and then stopped. He looked at the code-named Hope who was squatting down and reaching out to grab the snow with complicated eyes. He always felt that this person seemed weird.
"Forget it, just come with me." Li Yiluan squatted down and said to codename Xiwang, "It's too cold here. Let's go to the store next door and contact Shen Yunzhe to pick you up."
Codename Hope just ignored him.
Li Yilun continued, "Shen Yunzhe, do you know Shen Yunzhe?"
Just as he was about to raise his voice further, Codename Hope spoke up, "Keep your voice down."
"ah?"
"I can hear you." Codename Hope's voice was very soft. "Li Yiluan, I've seen you."
Li Yuluan was a little confused. He couldn't remember when he had seen this person. He looked the same as Shen Yunzhe, but with long silver hair and silver eyelashes. It was impossible for him to forget such a striking appearance if he had seen it before.
Thinking of this, Li Yuluan continued to read Code Name Hope, and as he read, he tasted something familiar.
For example: ...fate.
Shen Yunzhe had been possessed by a living soul in the previous game field. Li Yuluan was very surprised at that time, but now no matter how he looked at it, the fate of the person in front of him was extremely similar to that of the living soul that possessed Shen Yunzhe. Li Yuluan broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
No way? Did I see it wrong?
"I'm going there." Codename Hope pointed to a store opposite. Li Yuluan subconsciously looked over and saw a hot pot restaurant.
He suddenly remembered that Shen Yunzhe had to meet him at a hot pot restaurant when they first met.
Of course, the purpose of going to a hot pot restaurant is to eat hot pot. Codename Hope still remembers that Shen Yunzhe went to eat hot pot, but before he had time to eat, he stopped a surprise easter egg sharing event and went to the police station to make a statement. He really wanted to try the things that Shen Yunzhe didn't eat.
So Li Yiluan looked at Codename Xiwang with complicated eyes and found that he ordered a super spicy hot pot. If he and Shen Yunzhe had really made an appointment at a hot pot restaurant at that time, he would be surprised to find that the dishes ordered by Codename Xiwang were exactly the same as those ordered by Shen Yunzhe.
The bottom of the pot was bubbling and the spicy aroma wafted out in an instant. Codename Hope lay on the table and stared at the bubbling pot, his eyes so focused.
"Who are you to Shen Yunzhe?" Li Yuluan asked him.
Codename Hope stretched out his hand and wanted to put it into the pot. Li Yuluan looked at his movements in confusion. Only after he actually put his finger in did he frighten him and hurriedly pull it out. But it was too late. His fingers were stained with a layer of red oil and must have been burned.
Li Yuluan didn't understand and collapsed.
He quickly dragged Codename Hope into the bathroom, used cold water to wash off the red oil on his fingers, and coaxed him to wait for him inside while he went to the nearby pharmacy to buy burn ointment.
Watching Li Yuluan leave, Codename Hope turned his head and looked at himself in the mirror. He placed his burned hand on the cold mirror surface. The biting coldness eased the pain in his fingers a little.
"Shen Yunzhe, I miss you a little." Code name Hope murmured.
"Walking in the snow is so boring. Other people are not interesting either. There is no one to stop me from doing bad things."
With a click, the bathroom door opened and two or three people walked in together. They were singing as they walked, and the smell of alcohol filled the air. It was obvious that they had drunk a lot.
The smell was not pleasant, especially for Codename Hope, who hadn't smelled anything for more than 20 years.
He frowned slightly, and although he didn't cover his nose, he was already showing obvious signs of irritation.
"Hey, you look familiar." The drunk man saw the codename Hope standing there, "Do we know each other?"
"Who is this? How can he be related to you, Brother Li?" the person next to him spoke.
The so-called Brother Li approached Codename Xiwang forcefully, but Codename Xiwang avoided him. He still remembered that Shen Yunzhe didn't like others touching him. After all, he didn't like others touching Shen Yunzhe either, so they had to keep themselves clean and never get too close to others.
The man walked towards Codename Hope forcefully, then sneered, "Shen Yunzhe!"
"Don't think I won't recognize you just because you dyed your hair white!"
"What? You're working as a waiter after you lost your job?" Brother Li sneered. "I told you not to offend me a long time ago, and look at what you've become. Do you really think the whole world is on your side? Even if you beat me up and put me in the hospital, I'll still make you lose your job in the end."
"If you honestly kneel down and apologize to your brother Li, I will consider letting you go!"
Codename Hope brushed away his hand that was grabbing her clothes, her silver eyes filled with bone-chilling indifference.
Although he had not interacted with anyone for many years, he was not stupid and knew what this person meant. He mistook himself for Shen Yunzhe, which made him know what Shen Yunzhe had encountered.
"You're still so arrogant!" the drunken man said, "I'll make you kneel down and apologize right now."
He is Shen Yunzhe's enemy. He and Shen Yunzhe are the same person, so he is his enemy.
This person is so annoying.
"Which hand did you touch me with?" Code Name Hope finally spoke.
Unlike Shen Yunzhe, the voice of codename Hope always carries a sense of ethereality. This is because he is used to showing weakness to protect himself, and he doesn't care about the things around him. Everything is hard to catch his eye. Even after staying in that little black box for more than 20 years, he will still get tired of everything around him after coming out.
Codename Hope used his knee to hit the man's stomach hard, and the man screamed and almost vomited on the ground.
But Codename Hope wasn't there for that. He simply stepped on his hand, and with gentleness and joy in his voice, he said, "It's too dirty. Let me help you clean it up."
He pressed his feet hard, and the man screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
In response to his screams, Codename Hope smiled even more happily.
When Li Yiluan came back after buying the burn ointment, he found many people gathered in the toilet. He looked over curiously and saw a man fainted in the toilet. He seemed to be suffocating from his own vomit. It was like a drunk man fell in the toilet and almost killed himself, but by chance he saw the man's hand again.
The red hands were covered in blood, and it was obvious that they had been stepped on and crushed several times to create this effect.
But there was no one left in the bathroom by him.
Li Yiluan returned to the table with the medicine, only to find that all the dishes on the table had disappeared. He was horrified and called the waiter, only to find out that the code name wanted to pack up all the dishes and take them away, leaving only a spicy hot pot base for him. The waiter hinted that he could order some more dishes.
He doesn't eat spicy hot pot!
I've only known Shen Yunzhe for a few days and I've already lost money!
…
Even though the official still couldn't get any information about the codename after completing the statement, he was still allowed to go and they promised that they would not monitor him. This was a matter of principle.
Shen Yunzhe went home without much concern. The neighborhood was empty. No one came back except him. Everyone was scared after encountering such a thing. Of course, it was impossible for them to go back to the crime scene, but Shen Yunzhe was still worried about the dolls on his wall.
When he got home, he found that the lights were on in the house and there were fresh meat and vegetables packed on the dining table. Shen Yunzhe looked through them curiously and finally confirmed that these were the portions and ingredients from the hot pot restaurant.
"Hope?" Shen Yunzhe shouted, but no one answered.
Putting down the food in his hand, Shen Yunzhe walked into the bedroom. He looked around but didn't see anyone.
After thinking carefully, Shen Yunzhe walked over and opened the closet door, and saw the person curled up in the closet and already asleep.
Shen Yunzhe squatted down and looked at the code name Hope, calling softly: "Hope?"
"Hmm." Codename Xiwang opened his eyes. He looked at Shen Yunzhe in a daze. Before he was sure it was the person, he opened his arms and hugged him, looking like a spoiled child.
Shen Yunzhe hugged him and asked, "You knew it was me before you even woke up?"
"Taste." Codename hoped his voice was soft. "You taste different from other things."
An exquisite doll that recognizes its owner by smell.
Shen Yunzhe carried him out of the closet, and then saw a little blood on the hem of his clothes. The blood had dried and was dark brown, so Shen Yunzhe took off his coat.
He thought again of the hot pot dishes on the table outside.
All right……
He is a powerful kid who remembers to bring food to his owner after coming back from fighting.
