Plot Correction System (VIII)

"bite."

After a while, the elevator reached the floor.

Shang Li walked slowly into the work area where the workstations were neatly arranged in several vertical rows.

The work area was deserted; it was originally set up to make the investigation easier for children who were no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.

Cancel ordinary NPCs that are not related to the case, and only leave special NPCs in the copy to help search for clues.

Shang Li walked around the workplace for a few rounds but found nothing. Finally, he picked up an old gossip magazine placed on a workstation and flipped through two pages.

"The 18th-tier celebrity Jiang Mingyu boldly confessed her love..."

He accidentally read these words and raised his eyebrows, "Jiang Mingyu...could it really be that guy?"

There was an illustration next to the magazine, in which the little star was looking at the camera with an obedient look.

Looking at the familiar features in the photo, Shang Li became more certain that this person was the one he knew.

Jiang Mingyu, the younger brother that he and Cui Lan raised since childhood.

In my memory, that guy was a junior high school student who was very clingy and had to be picked up and dropped off by him and Cui Lan in turn.

"It's good to be in the entertainment industry, and it's not a bad thing to be bold enough to pursue love..."

Shang Li muttered to himself, "What a pity that I must have missed the wedding. Why did I stay at home for several days and didn't even see Xiao Jiang?"

With a subtle intuition, he squinted his eyes and continued to read, "The target is suspected to be Lu Yao, the eldest son of the Lu family, the richest family in Yan City..."

Lu Yao?

It's also a familiar name.

Shang Li's mind unconsciously resurfaced with a memory. Although it was only a few months ago for him, it had been a full ten years according to the current time.

At that time, Jiang Mingyu was still in junior high school. Because Cui Lan was having a headache over her graduation thesis and was immersed in it, Shang Li was the only one who went to pick up Jiang Mingyu from school.

The child hesitated for a long time on the way, and finally covered half of her mouth and whispered in his ear before going home: "Brother Lili, I seem to like a senior in our school."

Shang Li:?

When he got home, he didn't dare tell Cui Lan about this, for fear that his wife would think that they were having a homosexual relationship and had corrupted their child.

This act of keeping a secret was recognized, and from then on Jiang Mingyu treated him as a tree hole to share her secret love stories, and sent him at least several emotional essays of more than 300 words every once in a while.

After school, Jiang Mingyu and Shang Li crouched in the bushes by the roadside. With one hand, Jiang Mingyu pulled Shang Li's shirt sleeve and with the other hand pointed at the boy who walked out of the campus with a schoolbag slung over one shoulder and got into a black car. She whispered, "Brother Lili, that's him."

Jiang Mingyu, who was only 14 or 15 years old and had just begun to fall in love, held her face with both hands, her face flushed and her tone infatuated, "He is so handsome~"

Shang Li: “…”

In short, for some unknown reason, he spent three minutes to find out all the information about this senior, and remembered this Prince of Yan City deeply.

But now, finding out that his brother is deeply in love and still obsessed with the same person after ten years, Shang Li can only put his hands behind his back and look at the sky outside the window.

"That's good, that's good. People should be affectionate, as long as they don't act like dogs to others."

"I'll go look for my brother-in-law if I get a chance."

He sighed, stood up and was about to go somewhere else to continue looking for clues that the students might have left behind, but suddenly, through the faint reflection on the glass beside him, he found a hooded man bending over and tiptoeing, passing through the layers of stacked tables and chairs, and sneaking up behind him.

"Give me your life!"

The hooded man suddenly raised the shiny white knife in his hand and stabbed it towards the back of Shang Li's head.

well.

Shang Li was slightly disappointed by this and thought:

Wife, oh wife, didn’t we agree to be enemies? How come you let someone else take the initiative and attack me?

He manipulated his left arm to slide down from the long sleeve of his shirt to the ground, then bent his fingers, jumped up, grabbed the attacker's ankle and pulled back.

“Bang!!”

The hooded man suddenly lost his balance and fell flat on the ground.

“…”

The defeat was so easy that Shang Li couldn't help showing a little surprise.

"The domain has also lowered the intelligence of NPCs?"

He rubbed his chin and glanced at the guy behind him.

Even though he fell to the ground in an extremely ungraceful manner, the hooded man still raised his head with a fierce and unyielding look.

Then he watched the man in the red shirt suddenly turn his head 180 degrees, lower his head and grin, revealing his dark mouth.

“…”

The hooded man's rising fighting spirit immediately died down.

He looked at the man nervously as he bent his red eyes that had appeared on the screen and smiled at him, "Xiao Cui is not here, so I'll use you to vent my anger first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong sense of crisis instantly surged into the hooded man's heart.

He immediately rolled to the side, stood up and tried to run away, but a pale, slender hand reached out from behind and grabbed his collar.

The next second, the world was spinning before my eyes.

When he looked around clearly again, the hooded man found that his entire body was hanging out of the window.

His feet were hanging in the air, and the only support was the pale arm at his collar, which was not at all strong.

If the man with the sinister smile let go, I would fall from the tall building unhindered, hit the car parked below and turn into a meat paste.

The hooded man couldn't help swallowing.

Inside the room, Shang Li's mind had straightened out.

"You... I clearly sealed your supernatural power, why can you still use it?"

The hooded man asked, suppressing the trembling in his voice.

The severed hand that was holding his wrist returned to the red-eyed man, and he thought that limb separation was his supernatural power.

"Well, this is the power of technology, so it has nothing to do with supernatural powers."

Shang Li answered with a generous smile, then his face darkened the next moment, and he said to the hooded man in a grim tone: "Now it's my turn to ask you a question, answer it well."

"Tell me, who are you and why are you suddenly targeting me?"

"If you don't obey, I'll turn you into meat sauce right away."

“…”

Although the hooded man was indignant, he could do nothing about the man in front of him who suddenly changed his attitude.

After all, his special ability is to seal other people's special abilities, and he can only seal other people's special abilities. He has no other special abilities on his skill tree.

After hesitating for a while, he saw that the hand that was grabbing his collar had gradually loosened, so he panted and said, "I, I'm Xu Ge, an employee of Lin Yue Company."

"I came to see you because, because..."

Xu Ge paused, and then his voice was filled with deep sorrow, "Five of my companions were killed by the Lu family."

"I want to avenge my companions."

Shang Li raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

The contents of the transcript are consistent with those recorded in the file. Xu Ge, an employee of Linyue Company, was the only survivor at the scene of the death of five people two years ago and a very important eyewitness.

But now the domain system has become so smart that the NPC will not just stay in the set place waiting for the students to come up and ask questions, but can actually continue the settings and actively come up.

Seeing that the red-eyed man in front of him remained silent, Xu Ge continued, "I was looking for another Lu family member at that time."

"I was tracking his movements through surveillance, but he suddenly disappeared after he left the company and walked onto the street... and then I spotted you suddenly appearing in the middle of the street."

At this point, his voice suddenly dropped, "As soon as I saw your face, I recognized you."

"You are Jiang Mingyu's brother, and Jiang Mingyu is Lu Yao's wife, so you should be considered half a member of the Lu family."

"?"

Three seconds later, Shang Li laughed out loud.

"Oh, are you really getting married?"

Xu Ge was a little confused by his attitude.

"So, you know Jiang Mingyu?"

His thoughts quickly turned back and Shang Li asked again.

“…”

Xu Ge pursed his lips and then answered obediently: "I used to be...friends with him."

After saying this, the next time he opened his mouth, it was a short story about how two people got to know each other.

Shang Li gave a general summary.

In short, Xu Ge, who possesses rare supernatural powers, was assigned by his boss Mr. Lin two years ago (four years ago in reality) to go to the Lu family's Ximing Company disguised as an ordinary employee as a business undercover.

Because of the content of the work, I happened to have some good interactions with Jiang Mingyu, an eighteen-line star who was signed to Ximing Company.

Everyone in the company knew that the little star Jiang Mingyu liked the prince of the Lu family, but Xu Ge, as one of his few friends at the time, obtained more information and even knew that he had taken the initiative to pursue her and ask for support.

Of course, in the end, he was ruthlessly rejected by the self-disciplined Lu Yao.

God knows how hard Shang Li's other fist was underneath his unchanged expression when he heard this.

Jiang Mingyu, you really are being treated like a dog.

"On a rainy night, I was about to go home after working overtime at the company, but I realized I didn't bring an umbrella with me."

Xu Ge said: "I stood at the door and waited for a while, and suddenly I found a figure squatting in the corner. Out of curiosity, I walked closer and found that it was Jiang Mingyu who was looking at his phone."

"Maybe he looked so pitiful, so out of sympathy, I wanted to comfort him, and then... um, I accidentally saw the photos he was browsing on his phone."

“There are three people in that photo.”

Having said this, he paused before continuing: "One of them is you."

"Because you have red eyes, I wondered if you were also a mutant."

"He saw me too, so I just pretended I knew nothing and asked him who he was." Xu Ge lowered his eyelids, extremely depressed.

"Jiang Mingyu said that you were his brother who raised him, but you've been gone for a long time."

"If you were here, he wouldn't be like this now, and the only person he could confide in wouldn't be me, whom he has only known for a few months."

"That's why I'm impressed by you."

Xu Ge held Shang Li's snow-white wrists with both hands, trying to pull his already suffocating body upwards, "So just now, I recognized you at first sight."

"Now that Jiang Mingyu and Lu Yao have achieved their goal and become members of the Lu family, I..."

“…”

Shang Li was silent for a moment and threw the man back into the room.

Feeling a little tired of standing, he pulled over a chair nearby, sat on it, and crossed his legs.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Xu Ge, who had fallen on the smooth floor, just stood up with his hands on his neck when he heard the red-eyed man ask, "How did Jiang Mingyu end up with Lu Yao?"

Xu Ge’s eyes widened.

No, big brother, why are you suddenly concerned about this love gossip instead of asking how those five people died and who the murderer was?!

Even though he was complaining in his heart, in order to save his life, he still told everything he knew.

"It's just... one day, for some unknown reason, Jiang Mingyu changed her personality."

Xu Ge racked his brain, trying desperately to recall the past, "He suddenly became very charming."

“…”

Shang Li raised his eyebrows.

"That's not what I meant!"

Xu Ge quickly waved his hand to explain, "What I mean is that from that day on, the world seemed to start revolving around him."
