Strange game designer

Chapter 23 The gears of fate will eventually turn

Slowly loosening his fingers, Gao Ming put the black-and-white photo of the first working group of Unicorn Games into his bag. He looked no different from before, but there were some special emotions hidden deep in his eyes.

"When the disaster really breaks out, things a hundred times crueler than this are likely to happen." Xuan Wen watched the shadow fade away: "I thought you worked in a prison for felons and were used to this."

"Let's go back to Night Light Studio." Gao Ming interrupted Xuan Wen: "The escape venue only has four floors, and there are no living people on the lower three floors. The murderer should be hiding on the 13th floor. The murderer may even be someone from Night Light. staff."

"Everyone has their own choice. If you leave it alone, ghosts will kill people, and the number of ghosts will increase. Maybe everyone will die in the end." Xuan Wen spread her hands: "That person made his own choice, and he happens to have the power to realize his choice.”

"The ghost didn't do anything, but the guy killed seven people."

"But he saved other people, too."

The lights in the corridor flashed a few times. After all the shadows faded, the lights in the building returned to normal, indicating that the game was completely over.

This is the third game Gao Ming has played, and it is also the game that has had the greatest impact on him.

Returning to the door of the Night Light Games office, Gao Ming looked inside the room and saw that everyone was already working hard.

"Go on." Zhang Wang threw a bottle of energy drink to Gao Ming: "I'm getting older. If this were a few years ago, I wouldn't have a problem staying up all night!"

No one took that text message to heart at all, and they didn't know that they had a brush with death, or in other words, they didn't know that Death was sitting among them.

Gao Ming glanced at everyone in the office. They all behaved as usual, and nothing unusual could be seen at all.

"Teacher Xia, did you go downstairs just now?"

"I heard someone shouting for help downstairs, so I went over and took a look. It was dark in the safe passage and I couldn't see anything, so I came back again." Xia Yang was drawing the latest murder scene on the computer. His painting style It is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and there is a kind of crazy and chaotic beauty: "You know, I am very timid."

"Where's the delivery boy? Didn't I ask you to look at him?" Gao Ming didn't see the delivery boy at the door.

"As soon as the light came on, he called the police and ran away. I suspect it was a prank on his part." Xia Yang leaned back on his chair: "We are just making horror games. We can't really tie him up because of a text message, right?"

The cat meowed, and the office door was pushed open again. Wei Dayou entered the studio cursing: "The person in charge of this building is so shameless. There is not even an electrician on duty."

"Dayou, did you just go to the power distribution room?"

"I almost kicked the door down! If I hadn't taken my phone, I would have complained about it just now." Wei Dayou returned to his workstation and started working.

Gao Ming chatted with all the staff in Night Light Studio, and no one had any "problems."

The police arrived later and asked everyone to stay in the studio and not go out.Only then did everyone realize that something seemed to have happened in the building, but no one knew exactly what happened.

At about one o'clock in the morning, Manager Gou, who was not wearing a wig, was called to the studio. He was locked in a small room and talked with the police.

Manager Gou felt baffled by the police's questions. His surprised voice could be heard through the door: "I really don't understand what you are talking about! I will review it again. We are just playing games! These people under me do The most offensive behavior I have ever done is to pick up the keyboard and curse someone."

"This is our planner Wei Dayou. He looks very strong, but in fact he is even afraid of small bugs. He is just a girl at heart! The main beauty, Lao Xia, do you think any bad guy is as weak as him? The square dance aunt can kill him with one punch. .”

"Her name is Xuan Wen, our new little girl, she is gentle and gentle, and she is shy when talking to strangers. If she can make seven people disappear, I will eat this table for you right now!"

"It's not that I'm excited, it's that you are too outrageous!" Beicheng District police questioned each one one by one. At about three o'clock in the morning, Gao Ming was called alone to a room on the tenth floor.

After the police turned off all surveillance cameras and recorders, they turned around and walked out, leaving Gao Ming alone.

A full half an hour passed before the door was opened again. It was not the police who came in, but three people in black uniforms. They all wore a black ring-shaped device on their wrists.

"Investigation Bureau?"

"Don't be nervous." The leader of the man was less than 1.6 meters tall, but his aura was particularly strong: "I am Cen Coffin, deputy director of the Hanhai Beicheng Investigation Bureau, Future Science and Technology Park Division, Investigation Bureau."

"are you looking for me?"

"You should know this person." A tall, thin man following Cen Coffin walked up to Gao Ming. The black ring on his wrist projected a video on the table - an investigator with a disfigured face seriously recommended to the Bureau of Investigation. A high life.

"He and I have experienced level three abnormal events together, and he also told me some things about the Bureau of Investigation." Gao Ming put his chin on his hands: "Are you here to arrest me?"

The tall and thin man shook his head. After closing the black ring, he said calmly: "He died two hours ago."

"Dead?" Gao Ming didn't even know the name of the disfigured investigator.

"He was transferred to the East District of Hanhai to perform a mission and died in a Level [-] abnormal event." The tall and thin man sat on the chair and motioned for the other two members of the Investigation Bureau to sit down as well: "We are here to hope that you can Join the Bureau."

The investigator following at the end put the black box he was carrying on the table. He entered the password and opened the lid. There was a blood-stained black ring inside.

"Qin Tian and I are both from Xinhu. He is my most trusted subordinate. He told me all about your performance in abnormal events. Calm, decisive, brave, strong psychological quality, and extraordinary mind, you seem to It exists to solve abnormal events." The tall, thin man's voice was smooth and powerful. He had long been accustomed to life and death: "Qin Tian was very excited and happy when he told me this. Since his wife and child died in abnormal events, After the incident, this was the first time he smiled, and he said he saw hope in you."

"The investigator's name is Qin Tian..." The abnormal incident is a game, but it has long gone beyond the scope of the game. The seven employees of Dujiao Studio and the investigators who escaped from the game yesterday were all buried in the into another world.

"The General Bureau of Investigation has jurisdiction over nineteen branches, corresponding to the nineteen districts of Hanhai. Our old city branch is subdivided into five investigation offices: Lishan, Jinwan, Fuding, Pukou, and Dazhai according to geographical boundaries and population. ." The tall and thin man looked at Gao Ming: "The population of Hanhai is twice that of Xinhu. After the occurrence of abnormal events, we are seriously short of manpower. The newly recruited investigators have not experienced abnormal events, and the mortality rate is extremely high. They can lead them There are too few veteran investigators, so we need to recruit ordinary people like you who have experienced abnormal events."

"Joining the Investigation Bureau is indeed a very dangerous thing, but if we don't face it actively, when something gets out of control, more terrible things will happen." Cen Coffin said: "No one can escape, It may be a better choice for you to understand the disaster early."

"I'll think about it again." With his own strength, it was difficult for Gao Ming to find those growing ghost stories in the city. Joining the Investigation Bureau was indeed a good choice.

The source of the disaster lies with him. If he climbs up the ladder step by step and becomes the director of the Hanhai Investigation Bureau, he can probably be regarded as having investigated the disaster clearly.

"Almost no ordinary person can solve level three abnormal events on their own. Your appearance has met our highest recruitment standards." The tall and thin man made himself appear as sincere as possible: "We will not arrange mandatory tasks for you. It will not interfere too much in your life, and you have full autonomy."

"What if I want to leave Hanhai and go to other cities?" Gao Ming wanted to go to Xinhu, but heavy rain blocked the road and he didn't have this chance for the time being.

"Traffic control may be implemented in the future, and only people from the Investigation Bureau can go anywhere freely." The tall and thin man made a promise: "If you are willing to join the Investigation Bureau, we will give you high authority and let you pass freely. "

"Traffic control?"

A fierce ideological struggle was taking place in Gao Ming's mind. He stared at the black ring placed in the black box.

The blood-stained black ring seemed like a gear of fate.
