Chapter 57 An "Ah" Hits My Head
Episode 57 There was an "Ah" that hit me on the head
Escape stairwell.
Fu Lin was installing Shanghexing and wouldn't let me see it.
Shang Hexing doesn't really like eye contact.
I didn't know where to put my eyes, so I ended up just looking out for them in the stairwell. Of course, I can't just keep looking up and down so stiffly. I still have to make eye contact with them occasionally.
Shang Hexing was the first to speak, "I need your help with something, is that okay?"
Generally speaking, you shouldn't directly say yes or no to such requests. The key point is "let the other party take the initiative to speak out the matter first, and then do it according to your ability." The nature of "full agreement" is the same as "full refusal", and both are low-scoring answers.
It is more important to show your principles during communication than to show that you are a kind person.
"I'm not sure if I can help you, so you tell me first."
Shang Hexing showed me a group of photos. The photos were obtained from the deceased's home, and mainly focused on the web pages logged into the deceased's computer.
The base color is snow mountain white, which has a little more blue tone than pure white. This blue tone is very light, and at a glance it appears to be a blue close to gray, but the overall color is infinitely close to pure white. This is not easy to describe. To use an analogy, it is like looking at dark blue. At first glance, it looks black, but you can still feel a kind of blue in the deep darkness. Snow Mountain White gives people the same feeling, but because there is an extra layer of blue, the whole picture has a sense of clarity.
Right above the white background is a V-shape made into wings, with the opening angle approximately between 30 and 35 degrees, giving a sense of power as if flapping wings and flying high.
Shang Hexing took very detailed photos, not only capturing the web page functions, but also the login language. Shang Hexing said: "We also tried to log in as a new visitor..."
"Can I look at it myself?" I stretched out my hand to the other party, and Shang Hexing handed me the phone.
There is a long introduction on the webpage.
“This is an era where life is reshaped by technology.
This is also where freedom is born out of wisdom.
Vita is a mysterious organization unique to the city of Anubis. Our purpose is life, liberty and continuity.
There are no rules or boundaries here, just one question:
Are you willing to fight for your life?
If you are willing, please join this big family. 』
This is very much like a web forum, with only two areas on the homepage, one is the communication area and the other is the moderator area. In addition, there is a separate horizontal bar with five function options: "Welcome back, user name", "My", "Settings", "Reminders" and "Exit", and there is a search box on the far right to facilitate users to quickly search for content.
Shang Hexing continued, "New visitors do not need to provide any identity information. The content of the chat is also very broad. It is a huge group for exchanging information, ranging from daily life to professional life. There are basically no negative posts. There seems to be a timely online management team that monitors the words used by posters and their use on the forum at any time."
I was a little surprised that this Vita was so healthy and positive in form. "It doesn't look like anything special."
Shang Hexing seemed to be waiting for me to say this. "If you are warned more than three times, you will be invited to the small black room. An invitation letter will be sent to your mailbox. There is only a website in it. The characters are messy and it looks like a deep web site. The website provides completely anonymous services, and even the IP will be encrypted for protection. Users here can request various suggestions and are welcome to discuss various topics, including privacy, blockchain, international news and research papers. All resources are free, but you will be assigned tasks."
His words were too specific.
I asked subconsciously, "Have you entered as a new visitor?"
That being said, I feel in my heart that they would not be so careless.
Shang Hexing said: "I logged in using Mingsheng's account."
That's good.
I nodded inwardly, then looked up and said, "So, what do you want me to do?"
I'm not good at IT...
I will not sneak into this forum organization for you and help you see how it works.
This part of the plot is a bit complicated for me.
"It's not like I'm asking you to do anything, it's just a notification." Shang Hexing said seriously, "During the car accident, we found that there were people from Vita in the appraisal center. I'm worried that someone here will leak our actions, which will be disadvantageous to us. Therefore, some sensitive matters may require you to bypass the procedures and help secretly. If possible, maybe you can do me a favor now..."
The first sentence is reasonable, but the last sentence clearly asks me to do something bad, which is not acceptable.
I am a rigid, stubborn and inflexible person. I have always buttoned my clothes with the top button on since I was a child. I have never known how to do bad things. How could you let me do such a thing?
Just when I was about to refuse, Shang Hexing took out an earring covered with dark marks from his pocket and handed it to me, "Can you detect biological traces on this earring? I want to investigate the identity of this person. I think this person may be related to VIta."
This earring looked so familiar that my heart sank when I saw it for the first time.
How can people be related to Vita?
They must be using the name of the Vita organization to investigate the identity of "Karari".
They just want to check "Tang Li's" biological information, and then use the resident system permissions of Shanghe Star itself and the comparison algorithm to find out the specific identity of this person, right?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Shang Hexing was too scheming. I concealed my thoughts and took over the message fluently, "I'm not sure if I can find out, but I will keep an eye out for you."
Shang Hexing smiled sincerely after I finished speaking. "In fact, we also thought about looking for Xiaozhuang, but we still hope that you are willing to help. It's really great now."
"You're welcome. It would be great if I could help you." I responded politely, "But this earring has obviously been burned. High temperatures will destroy the structure of DNA, so it's not easy to extract information."
"I have prepared myself mentally," Shang Hexing said.
"Okay." I agreed immediately.
I will definitely not be able to find it out!
Just wait, Shang Hexing.
I just finished thinking about it and suddenly felt a little strange. It wasn't so much strange as it was just not right.
First, it should be Fu Lin who spends more time with Tang Li.
Second, Shang Hexing spoke too much.
Third, Fu Lin was standing a little far away from me, which was different from the previous times we had been together.
At that moment, I had a lot of questions to ask, but it was as if I had lost my voice. Only Shang Hexing continued to say, "We will continue to investigate the nature of Vita..." The next second, an image of a person holding the door handle of the escape stairwell flashed through my mind. I could sense movement just upstairs.
I raised my hand and placed it on Shang Hexing's forearm. Perhaps because he saw my serious expression, Shang Hexing successfully "muted" himself.
Next, the image of the door to the upper stairs being carefully opened also came to my mind.
This isn't really a superpower.
Ever since the farewell party, I felt like I had opened a comic book. Some things or people that shouldn't have appeared in my perspective appeared in my mind like the focusing lens of a comic book. For example, I occasionally "hear" or "see" other people's thoughts, and sometimes I know what is happening in other places at the same time.
It's strange that he would open the door cautiously.
I followed suit subconsciously, looking up the stairwell, "You two fell into the water yesterday. What exactly happened?"
Shang Hexing also cooperated very well, "It's just a small matter."
After a sentence or two was exchanged, a peeking face appeared in the stairwell. The moment she saw me, she was also startled and her face turned pale, "Ah, uh, Li Zhi... I, I..."
I thought he was a bad guy with bad intentions?
I didn’t expect it was Xiaozhuang.
I couldn't help laughing. "Are you here just to scare us? Look how pale your face has turned."
Xiaozhuang was very embarrassed and hesitantly said, "I, I heard that Fu Lin and the others were coming as well, and I don't know why they didn't tell me, so I just came here for a look. I definitely didn't come here to eavesdrop." When he finished speaking, Xiaozhuang shook his head nervously.
I comforted her and said, "No one thinks so." Then I looked at Fu Lin and Shang Hexing's faces, trying to seek their approval. As a result, both of their expressions were not very positive, which also poured some cold water on my emotions.
Why are they like this?
However, Shang Hexing reacted the fastest. He walked towards her and said with a smile, "I was going to look for you too." As he spoke, he strode up the stairs towards Xiaozhuang. Xiaozhuang retreated backwards, like a little white rabbit cornered by a big bad wolf.
When I saw this scene, I was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What kind of drama is this?
"Fu Lin" is very strong. When he and his friends were playing together, he would carry others on his shoulders and spin several times on the spot. Xiaozhuang has also been teased before, so it is conceivable that at this time, Xiaozhuang must have thought that he was being teased and was afraid. However, Shang Hexing is not that kind of person, he just looks scary sometimes.
So, in order to prevent the misunderstanding from going too far, I took Shang Hexing's arm and said, "Why are you trying to scare her with such a menacing attitude? Xiaozhuang can't stand being scared."
Shang Hexing stopped, turned around and looked at me, with an emotion flashing in his eyes that I couldn't interpret.
At this moment, Xiaozhuang from upstairs hurriedly ran away.
A few seconds after seeing the man run away, Shang Hexing took his steps back, looked at me deeply, and said word by word: "Li Zhi, someone has been watching me since the former mayor committed suicide. From now on, no one around me can be trusted. I must be careful. Someone was watching me when I fell into the water yesterday. If Shang Hexing and I hadn't jumped into the water to save me, I might not be standing here."
“…”
Isn’t this what Anubis set for players?
In order to prevent players from becoming addicted to this world and not wanting to go back, many dangerous plots are set up.
Shang Hexing saw that I was speechless and said, "You don't believe it?"
"It's not that I don't believe it," I just said, "Xiao Zhuang is your companion."
A hand-picked companion in the comics.
His suspicion is so great that it is easy to hurt their feelings, which can easily turn people into evil.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that what he said made a lot of sense. Even An Qingyan is a two-faced person, and Xiaozhuang may have his own side as well. But I have already said it, and I don’t know how to take it back. After thinking for a while, I said, "If she is not trustworthy, then what about me who was just commissioned to investigate? You gave me the earrings because you wanted to test me, right?"
“…………”
Shang Hexing was suddenly at a loss for words.
You didn't expect me to say that, did you?
I'm not afraid at all whether he will try me or not, because I know my composition.
True gold fears no fire.
Good people are not afraid of tests.
At this time, Fu Lin in the corner spoke up, and hit the nail on the head, "If you really think so, you should return the earrings now."
Fu Lin, how did you become so difficult to step down?
I definitely won’t return it! How could I let you check Tang Li’s identity?
Furthermore, if I really pay it back, it means I will have to act angry and start a cold war with you, which is not good for a sustainable relationship between us.
How did this person add fuel to the fire?
I was shocked and angry.
I misjudged Fu Lin.
When I first interacted with him as Tang Li, I noticed his dark side, and I should have woken up completely - Fu Lin himself is also a dark person. Just as I was beginning to criticize the protagonist of the comic, Fu Lin added, “So it’s obvious that when you said ‘try you’ just now, you were saying something without thinking.” ”
...Is this person calling me stupid...?
If there was a favorability value now, Fu Lin would have already sprinted in the opposite direction, infinitely approaching zero.
To be honest, I'm not someone who can be bullied easily.
I was about to interrupt him when Fu Lin looked at me again with a calm gaze, "This means that you may be aware, or subconsciously aware, that you are actually a very special person."
"special?"
Fu Lin said, "Particularly trustworthy, isn't it?" There was no doubt in his tone.
Although these words sounded fake, I was too soft-hearted to listen to them.
I looked up at Shang Hexing. Although he probably didn't care whether I was angry or not, as "Fu Lin" now, I still needed to have a good relationship with him. "Fu Lin, I was a little anxious just now. I just felt that it was not good to doubt a friend, so I spoke without knowing the limits. I'm sorry."
I have already given Shang Hexing the way down. It doesn't matter to me whether he forgives me or not. Because I suddenly thought, why don’t I recognize Fu Lin? I really like to play with people who speak nicely. In addition, I have repeatedly ignored Fu Lin's confidence in recognizing me, so I actually feel a little guilty.
As Shang Hexing accepted my apology, we briefly left the stairwell. Shang Hexing said that the official reason for their coming here was to investigate a key item to identify the murderer, so they also had to go to the physical evidence department to collect one.
When I said goodbye to them, I said to them in a veiled manner, "Fu!"
Occasionally, I would call Fu Lin by his surname instead of his address. I am not used to calling someone's name directly, especially when the other person's name only has one character, as it would seem too intimate. But when we just call each other by our last names, I feel like there's a certain amount of respect between us. Because I was the only one who called him so seriously. At first, Fu Lin was not used to it and even asked me why I shouted like that. I explained, "It feels special because I'm the only one shouting that."
Later, Fu Lin's team of protagonists grew larger and larger, and he had more and more friends. Everyone called him "Fu Lin" and asked me why I called Fu Lin "Fu" alone.
I was avoiding trouble and was on the edge, so I started to follow the crowd and shouted "Fu Lin".
This happened before Shang Hexing returned to the team, so I'm sure Shang Hexing didn't know what I was shouting.
As long as Fu Lin responded, no matter whether it was with his voice, or by stopping his steps, or by looking back, I would have contacted him and could discuss privately how to deal with the matter.
However, as soon as I finished shouting, Fu Lin walked forward, but Shang Hexing turned around and looked at me.
"What?" Shang Hexing, who was disguised as Fu Lin, responded to me unexpectedly.
ah?
A capital “Ah” suddenly hit me on the head like a small stone, making me dizzy and my mind was in a knot.
