"Sister Qing, there's a ghost! Help!" Li Qianxia shouted immediately.
“I saw it too!” Su Qin immediately followed.
Xu Xiao's lips moved very quickly: "Speaking of paranormal events, I've been using a VPN to access the internet recently, and I've heard a lot of people talk about it, as if it were true. Some of the pictures and videos are so scary that I don't dare to look at them. Could it be that spiritual energy has really revived?!"
Zheng Qing and the others exchanged glances.
"I'm telling the truth! There really is a ghost!" Li Qianxia emphasized.
A middle-aged man behind Zheng Qing chuckled and comforted her, "We're not laughing at you, we just feel relieved to hear about ghosts."
A relatively young man, seeing that Li Qianxia was beautiful, couldn't help but show off a little: "We're professionals at dealing with ghosts. We once saw a group of zombies jumping around on the street in the middle of the night, and we rushed up and handcuffed them all!"
“Those players with high destructive power are the ones we’ll have a headache with.” The last person’s gaze fell on Li Changzhou, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Everyone has their own expertise, and the Special Operations Bureau is full of talented people. With you all here, I feel at ease," Li Changzhou said with a warm smile.
He took out four drops of blood and handed them to Zheng Qing.
"What is this?" Zheng Qing asked in confusion. As a player, she didn't need a special introduction like Su Qin and the others; she could tell the effect at a glance. What puzzled her was why Li Changzhou was giving it to her.
"One drop each," Li Changzhou said. "These players are here to find my sister, so I can't let you help them for nothing. If they encounter danger along the way, you can also save their lives. After things are resolved, I'll give each of you two drops."
Zheng Qing didn't stand on ceremony, saying that this was originally the work of the Special Operations Bureau.
No job is a reason for someone to sacrifice themselves.
She kept one drop for herself and gave the remaining three drops to the oldest person behind her for distribution.
"Let's get to work," she ordered before the three could react to the powerful effects of the blood beads.
The three men were codenamed 'Yuxi' (oldest), 'the bailiff who doesn't understand the law' (youngest), and 'before it gets dark' (not too old, not too young).
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
'Yuxi' made a grabbing motion in the air and conjured up a cigarette.
He was smoking, his eyes hazy in the smoke, seemingly lost in memories.
The bailiff, who was ignorant of the law, took out a camera and filmed the scene from various angles.
With a click of the shutter, a photo of Chen Zong popped up from above the camera.
In the photo, Chen Zong is still alive, wearing prison clothes, with his personal information written next to him. On the back of the photo are Chen Zong's recent activities.
Su Qin, Song Yuan, and Xu Xiao watched the Special Operations Bureau work with curiosity. With more people around, they became bolder.
"Sister Qing, I'll go check the fourth floor." (Request from a bailiff who doesn't understand the law)
"Have you found any clues?" Zheng Qing asked.
"There is a bit of a chance, but it's not certain yet; we need to confirm it."
“Go with him, be careful.” Zheng Qing looked at ‘Before it gets dark.’
He nodded before it got dark and walked over to the bailiff who didn't know the law.
"No elevator, take the stairs!" The bailiff, who didn't understand the law, walked and took pictures, looking like a police dog sniffing around as he went.
Li Changzhou turned his gaze away from the camera in his hand and looked at Yang Qinglan.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked.
“You’re beautiful,” Yang Qinglan said.
They both laughed at the same time.
"I don't know if it's for sale or not?" Li Changzhou leaned closer and whispered.
"I don't think we'll sell it. It looks like a prop used by the bailiffs; they probably act on instinct," Yang Qinglan whispered as she leaned closer.
Li Changzhou had his eye on the other party's camera.
He doesn't care about the case-handling function; what he needs is the photo-taking function. With this, he can quickly teleport even within instances.
If it were still "photo transfer", he would really try to get it, but now it's S-level "transfer", a camera would be better, but it doesn't matter if there isn't one.
"Any intelligence?" Li Changzhou glanced at the information booklet in Zheng Qing's hand—which Yang Qinglan had given her.
"Four people came, all looking for me and Qianxia. Two of the original six died prematurely due to an accident."
"The name of the person you killed was Chen Zong. The other three only have code names: 'Flickering Woman,' who can flicker; 'Little Night Light,' who can summon mirror ghosts; and 'Earth Dog' in the pet backpack, who can manipulate the ground."
"I thought the pet backpack contained some kind of charlatan player," Li Changzhou mused.
It seems that the reason they didn't take Chen Zong's body with them earlier was simply because Chen Zong was already dead, not because they couldn't drag him into the mirror.
"That's all the information we have about their skills. They don't trust each other." Yang Qinglan spoke softly, her voice carrying a faint, pleasant fragrance that was endlessly captivating.
An announcement rang out in the mall. After reading the information booklet, Zheng Qing gave the order.
"Dear citizens, an emergency has occurred at Carrefour. Please evacuate in an orderly manner according to the safety drill. Priority will be given to the elderly, children, and women. Please maintain order and cooperate with the staff."
The crowd gathered around the courtyard fell silent, with only the sound of broadcasts echoing across the square.
"Evacuation? What happened?" The crowd began to discuss.
"Could what's being said online overseas be true? Is there really a valuable game?"
"He's a player, he must be a player! The woman who jumped off the building just now wasn't a mistress, she was a criminal player!"
The country has cracked down hard on criminal gamers, and has done a pretty good job of allowing ordinary people to maintain their previous lives as much as possible.
But now we live in a globalized world, and foreign media are already in chaos. In some small places, the government has even been overthrown by players, and the news has spread like wildfire. Domestically, we can only remain ambiguous, neither confirming nor denying. Some young people who like to talk about current events have already made their own guesses.
