Chapter 78 No one is seen, only gold (26) Luck value -10...
Gao Mengtang grabbed a piece of cloth on his sleeve and stared at it for a long time. Normally, they had to wear the combat uniforms of the Zhongzhou Security Team in the park.
The combat uniform is a set of tights with metal joints, which is uncomfortable to wear. Players only wear it on the first day of reporting to the park. At other times, they wear their own casual clothes.
"Hey, you, what are you daydreaming about?" Duan Song waved his hand in front of Gao Mengtang.
Gao Mengtang slowly turned his eyes and uttered a single sound in a daze: "Hmm?"
The long, thick black eyelashes blinked in front of his eyes. Duan Song was lost in thought for a few seconds, then suddenly came to his senses and shook his head vigorously: "Don't act cute anytime, anywhere."
Gao Mengtang: “…” He just blinked.
"What did you see?"
"Your luck value is -100?" Gao Mengtang's reply was irrelevant and he stared at his cuffs again.
Duan Song smiled: "You are used to wearing princess dresses, so you don't like plain linen clothes? When I get out, I will book an entire bridal shop for you, so you can wear as many dresses as you want."
"That's right." Gao Mengtang replied.
Duan Song: “…Ah?”
"Book a bridal shop for me when you get out."
Duan Song was speechless: "Okay, okay."
"I won't talk nonsense with you any more," Gao Mengtang retracted his gaze, "I have a question, why does Shi Zhengyi have the subway station access card?"
"You ask me? My college entrance examination score is less than half of yours. I'm stupid and can't analyze it. You should go and discuss it with Wei Wei." Duan Song's handsome face showed unreasonable confidence.
Gao Mengtang: "...Then go and capture Shi Zhengyi. I want to question him."
“By the way, bring our combat uniforms here as well.” Gao Mengtang added.
Duan Song: "What do you want that thing for?"
"Do as I say."
"Huh, you look like a leader."
Duan Song climbed out the window, and 20 minutes later, Shi Zhengyi was thrown on the floor of the computer room, his face full of anger, but he looked fierce but weak.
He looked like he had just been beaten up, with a bruised face and nose. When he saw Gao Mengtang, he instinctively trembled with fear.
Gao Mengtang leaned back in the swivel chair, crossed his legs, and looked down at him for a moment: "Did you kill Q's daughter?"
"No!" Shi Zhengyi yelled, "That's a monster. It can't be killed at all. How could she and her mother..."
Shi Zhengyi stopped talking halfway when he realized he had said something out of turn, and stared at Gao Mengtang in shock and fear.
"Oh, Q is Bu Xiaoting." Although it was a question, it was stated in a declarative tone. Gao Mengtang took out his notebook and wrote down the clue.
Shi Zhengyi was so angry that he wanted to rush over and hit him, but Duan Song held him down.
"Why do you call Bu Xiaoting Q?" Gao Mengtang asked without raising his head.
Shi Zhengyi learned his lesson this time. He kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
But there are ways to get him to talk.
A fist as hard as a stone hit his temple. Shi Zhengyi fell to the ground sideways, and his head hit the ground with a thud. His eyes rolled back.
Gao Mengtang then raised his eyes, looked at Shi Zhengyi, whose neck was straightened by the beating, and then looked at Duan Song: "Be gentle."
Bang Bang, he punched Shi Zhengyi on the head twice in succession. Duan Song smiled with the corner of his mouth pulled: "Okay, living Buddha. If I don't hit him hard, how can he open his mouth?"
"I, I said!" Shi Zhengyi's voice sounded strange due to the heavy blow to the head and the tense muscles all over his body.
Holding his neck with one hand, he made him kneel in front of Gao Mengtang. Duan Song's strength gradually increased: "Then speak quickly."
Shi Zhengyi coughed up a mouthful of blood: "She was Qian Hao's student, and later joined Zhongzhou University and became Qian Hao's colleague. The two were in the same research group..."
The sound gradually faded, and a silver-white vortex appeared out of nowhere.
System: "Player [000 Blind Man] [666 Demon] has triggered a key plot and is about to enter [Past Hanging Lake]."
"It is detected that the player [000 Blind] has entered [Past Hanging Lake] for the first time. Please note that there is no danger in the Past Hanging Lake."
His body became very light, and his vision was filled with silver light. When the light gradually dimmed, Gao Mengtang found himself in a laboratory.
A short bald middle-aged man and a tall, slender young woman with a low ponytail stood in front of the laboratory table with their backs to him.
Gao Mengtang: "Qian Hao, Bu Xiaoting?"
They didn't seem to hear it. The two had just finished a day's work and were cleaning up their belongings.
Gao Mengtang called out again, but before they responded, he reached out his hand and touched their backs. When it collided with the object, his hand turned into a shadow and passed directly through their bodies.
"They can't see you, touch you, or hear you." Duan Song walked over with his arms folded across his chest. "In the Past Lake, players are like ghosts and can only watch."
Duan Song threw a left hook and an uppercut at Qian Hao, who was just hurriedly sorting out a pile of A4 papers. He looked like he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"How is the development of the crystal pump going?" Bu Xiaoting suddenly asked.
It was a very ordinary sentence, but Qian Hao got shocked. He looked evasive, as if he had been caught doing something bad.
"It's OK. It went pretty smoothly." Qian Hao laughed guiltily. "Xiaoting, how about you? Didn't your son just celebrate his 5th birthday? Where did he go to play?"
Bu Xiaoting sneered, "Ha."
The laughter was very light, but Qian Hao trembled. He lowered his voice and was about to say something, but Bu Xiaoting spoke first: "When you introduced me to Xu Wei, did you know that he was gay?"
Qian Hao was stunned for half a minute, and said weakly: "No, I don't know."
"I thought you were my mentor." Bu Xiaoting laughed at himself. "You want to climb up the social ladder? Why would you hook up with me? Xu Wei is gay anyway, so just do it yourself!"
"What a curse! What a curse!" Duan Song clapped beside him.
Qian Hao's face turned pale and blue, and he was obviously guilty, but he pretended to be "I did everything right": "You are so rude, little girl. How can you be so rude to your teacher..."
"My words are rude?" Bu Xiaoting slammed the document in his hand. "You are even more rude when doing things! Stop pretending to be my senior. After all these years, what else are you better than me in except age?"
Qian Hao never thought that he would be humiliated by his students like this. He was so angry that his face turned red. "It doesn't matter who you marry. Xu Wei is so rich, you are at a disadvantage? Didn't you say that you wanted to focus on scientific research? You just condoned his messing around, and Xu Wei even invested in the crystal pump..."
"Acquiescence?" Bu Xiaoting laughed angrily. Not wanting to waste any more time talking to him, he turned around and left.
"Don't leave!" Qian Hao couldn't swallow this breath, and he had to impart some "valuable life experience" to turn the tables. He said in a fatherly tone, "Little girl, marriage is not everything in life. You have a luxury house and a luxury car, what else can you ask for?"
Bu Xiaoting lowered his eyes, his voice cold to the bone: "At this point, you still don't understand why I'm angry."
"What disgusts me the most is not Xu Wei, but you," Bu Xiaoting said. "An elder whom I respected would actually push someone into the fire pit for his own selfish desires without telling them, and even say these high-sounding bullshit."
"You, you!" Qian Hao was so angry that he was speechless. "Don't be so rigid and straight-forward. Be more flexible and smooth. You will fall sooner or later!"
Next to him was a form of Bu Xiaoting with her signature. Qian Hao said self-righteously, "Look at your last name, Bu, with a vertical line and a dot, it's not smooth enough."
He picked up a pen and drew a line on the vertical line of the word "卜", which looked like a handwritten English letter "Q".
Qian Hao was very proud of his "amazing discovery": "Having edges and corners is not a good thing. Learn to be more rounded and get along with the world. Many times, don't be yourself. Be a Q that is very round but has a fulcrum and can stop."
Qian Hao believed that the last sentence was the truth. He admired his own brilliant idea and looked up at Bu Xiaoting's reaction, hoping that she would repent.
"What Q? Let me see it too." Someone asked outside the door, and the voice sounded familiar.
As soon as they heard his voice, Gao Mengtang and Duan Song felt uncomfortable all over.
Shi Zhengyi walked in. In his memory, he was still very young, but his suit and tie, powdered face and slicked hair made him look greasy and out of place for his age. "Hello, Mr. Qian, our boss has an appointment to have dinner with you, so he asked me to pick you up."
Hearing this, Bu Xiaoting sneered again: "Don't make a fuss about my surname, Mr. Qian. Look at your own surname. Which high branch have you climbed for money?"
"Bu Xiaoting! No, Ms. Q, please think carefully about what I said today..."
"Stinky things can't stand scrutiny."
The memories ended here, and a cool air enveloped the two of them. When they opened their eyes again, they were back in the abandoned machine room of the blue building.
Shi Zhengyi continued, "From that day on, Bu Xiaoting called herself Ms. Q. She used the letter Q in her recipient, sender, and online nicknames, and she spread the story everywhere. Before long, the news that Qian Hao used students to build connections spread throughout the campus."
"The name Q is an insult to Qian Hao."
Bu Xiaoting is Q.
Gao Mengtang returned to the original question: "Where did you get the permission card, and why can you control the subway?"
"I, I took it by accident." Shi Zhengyi answered with his head down, "My adoptive father chopped Bu Xiaoting and we all thought she was dead. After that, I met my adoptive father and moved into his house."
"One day, I accidentally took the wrong path and entered Bu Xiaoting's bedroom. I found this permission card and took it away."
Gao Mengtang summed it up succinctly: "Oh, you stole it."
"It's not stealing!" Shi Zhengyi shouted, "Now that she's gone, I'm the mistress, so her things should be mine to deal with."
Duan Song: "...It's rare to be so shameless as you are."
Gao Mengtang flipped through his notebook, which contained several copies of Shi Zhengyi's diary.
May 16, 362
: My godfather said he hated Q (I used Q to refer to my name, because writing that name in my diary made me sick). My godfather also said that I was better than Q in every aspect. Hehe, happy. Q, what can you compare with me? You have no right to suppress me.
June 6, 362
: Q is as pitiful as I am. As someone who is also hated by his adoptive father, I sympathize with Q.
Duan Song locked Shi Zhengyi in a small, sealed room. After Xu Xiaoting's cage was reinforced, all the players returned to the lobby on the first floor.
Gao Mengtang shared his findings with his teammates and attached the diary entries.
"No wonder Shi Zhengyi is full of hostility towards Q. She is a concubine and Bu Xiaoting is the main wife!" said the charlatan.
Wei Wei corrected him: "You are too flattering. I am at least a legitimate person, while Shi Zhengyi has no status at all."
There are two other diary entries that are interesting.
May 17, 362
: I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that Q wanted to kill my stepfather. When I woke up, my stepfather ignored me... The one-week vacation we agreed to was over in just 5 days. Why?
June 2, 362
: The experiment was a great success! I was in the lab yesterday and was confused. I seemed to see Q coming in. It was disgusting.
At that time, Shi Zhengyi didn't know that Bu Xiaoting was not dead, and thought that he saw Q in a dream. In fact, Bu Xiaoting was saved by the strengthening potion and was still alive and well.
The two times he saw Bu Xiaoting were not dreams, but Bu Xiaoting really appeared in front of them. When he was half asleep and half awake, Shi Zhengyi mistakenly thought he was dreaming.
Xu Wei was shocked to find that Bu Xiaoting was still alive and ended his vacation.
"Mr. Blind Man, who do you think the murderer is, Bu Xiaoting?" Wei Wei asked.
Gao Mengtang took advantage of the 20 minutes of vision left to sort out the events in chronological order in his notebook. He wrote a few lines:
More than ten years ago, Qian Hao began to develop crystal pumps, but progress was slow.
In order to obtain funds, Qian Hao introduced Bu Xiaoting to Xu Wei.
Bu Xiaoting joined Tanhualing and began to study some mysterious drugs.
Xiao Canglan was born and Bu Xiaoting faked his death.
Qian Hao's son owed a huge gambling debt and was tortured and killed by the black gang.
The successful development of the crystal pump threatens Xu Wei's interests.
You Beibei, the daughter of the gangster, injected the zombie virus into the crystal pump used by Xu Xiaoting, causing the zombie virus to break out.
On the last line of words, Gao Mengtang drew a rabbit mark.
You Beibei was entrusted by her father to inject the virus, and she said that her father was also instructed by someone.
The scientific researchers in the park were sent by Xu Wei with the purpose of developing an antidote, grasping the slim hope and saving his son's life.
The man in black is a gang member in disguise, whose purpose is to protect You Beibei and destroy the evidence of the crime.
After reading Gao Mengtang's notes, everyone pointed the finger at Bu Xiaoting.
"She is the most suspicious," He Lun said, "She hates Qian Hao, and her daughter almost died at the hands of Xu Wei. So, she brutally tortured and killed Qian Hao's son and Xu Wei's son."
He Lun waved his fist and said, "Let's go investigate Bu Xiaoting! No, she's not in the main dungeon either."
"Don't worry. If she is the murderer, she should show up in the next few days," said Wei Wei.
Lucky guy: "And the goddess of luck has given me a tip. This matter is also related to Qian Hao."
Several people were discussing, but Gao Mengtang remained silent. The players chattered for a while, and when they found that the backbone was silent, they all turned their heads to look at him.
Gao Mengtang was looking at the computer screen.
The USB flash drive was still plugged into the computer, and the computer was crackling and emitting sparks after the explosion.
Gao Mengtang stretched out a hand and touched the screen. His hand unexpectedly penetrated directly into the void of black and was swallowed by the screen!
"The mobile phone brought in from the copy has no signal, but the USB flash drive can be used normally. This USB flash drive seems to have the ability to tear space apart." Gao Mengtang said.
