Plot Correction System (VII)
After a few minutes, everyone entered the area.
Shang Li did not sit quietly on the bench waiting for the students to come out. He staggered to the rest area and nestled comfortably into the soft sofa chair.
"Hey, Xiao Shang, you are here too."
A woman's voice sounded not far away.
Shang Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short-haired woman with an unfamiliar face sitting on another sofa chair not far away. She held a cup of coffee in her right hand and waved at him lazily with her left hand.
Is it a colleague you met during the business separation in the past ten years?
Even though he didn't know her, he still smiled and nodded politely, pretending to be familiar with her. "Yes, I bring my students here to do a test."
“It’s also a very good position.”
The short-haired woman took a sip of coffee and said, "It's better than working so hard on the front line every day."
Shang Li just smiled and said nothing.
With work to do, he stopped chatting with his female colleague and instead took out a tablet from his backpack and turned on the built-in monitoring system of the 7.
A huge overhead plan slowly loaded.
This is the map of the territory.
The small red dots representing students are moving densely and continuously, spreading all over the map.
Some began to separate and merge with other red dots, staging a fierce chase and escape on the plane.
It looks like a fight has started, Shang Li thought.
It is normal for students to have conflicts.
I remember when Xiao Cui and I were doing practical tasks, as soon as we saw other classmates after entering the field, we would stop looking for clues and knock that person down first.
Xiao Cui was slashing people in the front, and I was covering my face in the back. The two of us worked together to defeat everyone in the class.
Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart: Oh, I really miss the time when we fought side by side and advanced and retreated together.
It's not like meeting my wife later, maybe we can only rely on teasing each other.
He stared at the moving red dot for a while in boredom. The more he stared, the sleepier he became. Finally, he simply closed his eyes, trying to shift his consciousness to Cui Lan.
"Let me see what Xiao Cui is doing... eh?"
As soon as her long eyelashes touched her cheeks, they quickly closed again.
Why did the pixel clone following Cui Lan lose contact?
Shang Li narrowed his red eyes.
Logically speaking, this situation will only occur when the clone leaves the space he is in and arrives in another independent space.
Separate space?
“…”
He looked at the small red dots that were already covering the entire map on the screen.
Could it be that he has gone to the realm?
Shang Li scratched the map with his claws twice, thinking: Among so many little guys, which one could be replaced by my wife?
He recalled everything that had happened from Peiying High School to here, making sure that nothing had been missed.
When leaving the small house, Shang Li also clearly remembered to close the entrance to the territory, and the authority was still in my hands.
So there is a high probability that Xiao Cui went in early.
Shang Li tapped the screen again, and then saw the few small red dots under his finger suddenly disappear out of thin air.
"?"
His eyes glazed over for a moment.
If the black box is not completely damaged, the little red dot will not go out.
And if they want to completely destroy the black box carefully made by the Psychic Bureau, they will at least need to face a complete and head-on attack from an A-rank attacking Psychic.
For a midterm practical assignment, students shouldn't fight to the point of bloodshed and use all their tricks, right?
What's more, the only student in the class who could inflict such damage was Lin Siyuan.
“…”
Shang Li was silent for a while, then he knocked on 568 in his heart, who had now learned not to speak unless necessary, and asked, "Is there such a plot in the original work?"
【……no.】
568 responses, [The original work does not describe whether this incident occurred. ]
[The plot is now progressing to the point where the protagonist has just found the clue, but is then snatched away by the cannon fodder villain.]
"Tsk, what use do I have for you?"
Shang Li quickly put his mind back to reality.
Come to think of it, is it possible that this was Xiao Cui's conspiracy to force me into this field?
If they wanted to carry out an assassination, they would have to recruit students to lure me into an area where information is relatively uncirculated so that it would be easier to carry out the operation.
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became.
You can't refuse your wife's invitation to meet.
Shang Li checked his expression to see if it was appropriate, then stood up and walked to the short-haired female colleague who was browsing her phone leisurely, and said gently, "Excuse me, can you help me look at my equipment for a while?"
He lowered his eyelids and said sincerely, "I have something urgent to do right now, so I have to leave for a while."
"It won't take long. Just make sure no one touches it."
"Um?"
The short-haired girl was a little hesitant. "Are you so confident in handing these things over to me?"
"If you're willing to help, that would be a big help."
Shang Li smiled faintly and placed the tablet firmly in her hand. "We are all colleagues from the Ability Bureau. Of course I will give you the greatest trust."
Short-haired girl: “…”
A few minutes later, Shang Li successfully returned to the entrance of the territory and unlocked the authority.
The moment he stepped into the small house, he suddenly felt his vision darken.
What followed was a strong feeling of falling, as if falling into a bottomless black hole.
When I regained my sight, everything around me had changed from the walls of the house to a busy street.
Shang Li looked up and saw two high-tech buildings that were almost towering into the sky standing on the left and right sides of the street.
The gates were facing each other, like two giants confronting each other.
According to the background information obtained in advance, the two buildings belong to Ximing Company, which is controlled by the Lu family, the richest family in Yan City, and Linyue Company, which is controlled by the Lin family, the second richest family in Yan City.
The two companies have been embroiled in a long-standing feud, and this time the students' investigation and practical case revolved around these two companies.
According to the case information obtained from the superiors, the case process is roughly as follows: The eldest son of the Lin family, who has always been against the Lu family in Yan City, tried to send out five privately raised superpowers to secretly use dishonorable means to win the business war.
The Lu family, who had anticipated this, secretly hired Cui Lan, the leader of the illegal supernatural organization "Dark Current", to infiltrate Lin Yue's company and assassinate the five people, nipping Master Lin's plan in the bud and protecting the Lu family's authoritative position.
The speed of time in the domain is different from the speed of real time. If we convert it based on the time that has passed in reality, based on the level of the students, most of them should still be running around in the Lin Yue Building.
Thinking of this, Shang Li raised his hand, straightened his collar, and walked into Lin Yue Company.
The interior decoration of Linyue Building is high-tech and minimalist, and the whole building is filled with a cool and elite atmosphere.
Seeing that the receptionist who was supposed to be guarding the lobby was being pulled into a corner and questioned by several students, he simply stretched out his long legs, stepped over the access control, and slipped deep into the company.
According to the map, the location where the small red dots representing students disappeared is in this building, Shang Li thought.
But that crappy map only had a top-down perspective, and this company had at least 30 floors, so there was no way to tell on which floor the kids were doing the incident.
He smoothed his short hair around his face and decided to take a shortcut to the control room.
However, halfway through the journey, he accidentally met a few students who were looking for clues in the company corridor.
Seeing the familiar red shirt and half-frame glasses, the student quickly stood up and prepared to greet him, "Mr. Shang..."
Before he finished speaking, the second student next to him pushed him hard, "Are you stupid? Teacher Shang is watching outside. This person must be someone pretending to be him!"
The student immediately responded, “You’re right!”
His momentum quickly swelled, and he gathered his supernatural power in his hand, threatening: "You bastard, give me the clue!!"
“…”
Shang Li smiled.
Three minutes later, one or two students fell to the ground.
Two people were stacked up, one horizontally and the other vertically, and the man with red eyes sat on the upper person with his legs crossed, moving his wrists casually.
Although his breathing was extremely steady and there was not a drop of sweat on his body, Shang Li still fanned himself with his hands and sighed, "I'm so tired. Fighting with the physical body is the most troublesome."
The students were angry but dared not speak out.
Then why don't you get up from us? !
They noticed that the person above chuckled, and then tapped the legs that were almost broken just now with the heel of the leather shoe, "Have you seen other people in this building?"
"Uh...Ye Bai?"
The student lay on his back, thought for a moment and said, "We saw him on the seventh floor not long ago."
The second student was lying on the ground, scratching his cheek. "I was planning to go find him to ask for clues, but Master Lin was also chasing him, and we both ended up in some invisible corner."
It's that kid again.
Shang Li said "tsk" in his heart.
Should we say he is worthy of being the “protagonist”?
[It's not because he's the protagonist. 】
568 suddenly whispered in his mind: [At this time, the protagonist should have been leading the team to investigate in the top-level president's office, but because of your involvement, the plot line collapsed. ]
“…”
The plot line hasn't even been confirmed yet, and you dare to blame me here, Shang Li thought.
He moved his fingers and threw 568 back into the small dark room.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of red light on the ceiling at the end of the corridor. Shang Li stood up from the unlucky student and walked under the camera.
Ignoring the two people behind him who thought they had sneaked away without anyone noticing, he found a chair, stepped on it, turned the camera towards his face, and then pressed his bright red pupils against it.
"Let me see who's spying on me?"
In the monitoring room on the other side of the camera, a man in a jacket and a hood on his head lowered his head and sipped his instant noodles.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a strange red eye pop up on the display screen in front of me.
The red pupil turned around, and finally seemed to sense something, staring straight at his position.
"Fuck!"
The hooded man was startled by the sudden jump in his face and shuddered all over, immediately spilling half the bowl of instant noodles in his hand.
“…”
While he was cursing, he was fumbling to wipe off the instant noodle soup that splashed on him with toilet paper.
"I was so scared, it was like a ghost."
"How come it was discovered so quickly? Who is so mad that he can see the tiny camera I hung in the crack of the ceiling?"
The hooded man gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then I won't hide it."
He threw the toilet paper ball into the instant noodle bowl, picked up the dagger and pushed open the door of the monitoring room with great momentum.
Shang Li, who was studying the camera, had no idea what was happening in the control room.
He rubbed the camera for a long time, but there was no response.
"Did I make a mistake?"
"Impossible. I am such a sensitive person that I would never make a mistake in this regard. Since they are using cameras for surveillance, there must be other remote control methods."
Shang Li tried to use his supernatural powers, transforming into a data ghost and leaving his body to crawl along the network cable—
I can’t get out.
“…”
He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Hey, I was suddenly trapped in this body.
No, it should be said that when he was researching the camera, someone unknowingly restricted his ability to release his supernatural powers.
This ability does not belong to Cui Lan, nor to his students.
Who attacked him in such a short time?
Shang Li went through his memories, but couldn't find anyone with this special ability in his mind.
"Is it an NPC in the territory?"
He whispered to himself, "It shouldn't be possible for there to be another person from reality besides my students and my wife."
“…”
Thinking of this, Shang Li immediately set off for the Publicity Department on the seventh floor of Lin Yue Building.
