Strange game designer

Chapter 24 Choice
Some people say that everyone's life is destined from the moment they are born, but others say that destiny is never static.

Perhaps there is only one future that can be determined, and that is that no one knows what will happen in the future.

Gao Ming reached into the black box and took out the blood-stained black ring.

He looked at the three members of the Investigation Bureau in front of him and said, "How to activate it?"

"After entering the identity information and performing triple verification, you will be its only owner." The tall and thin man's expression softened a little: "I'm glad you can make this choice. My name is Chen Yuntian, Hanhai Old City Investigation Branch. Director of the Lishan Investigation Bureau, the Lijing Apartment where you live is within my jurisdiction."

With the help of investigators, Gao Ming completed the identity authentication. The moment he put on the black ring, he could view all the information retained in the black ring.

Most of the information is the rules for handling abnormal events compiled by the Investigation Bureau, and a small part is the experience passed down by the previous owners of this black ring.

The black ring itself represents the highest technological achievements of the New Shanghai Smart City, and also carries the courage, fearlessness and other shining qualities of ordinary people.

"Don't worry about your work at the game studio. If you don't want to resign, you can go to work as usual during the day. We won't interfere in your life." Chen Yuntian closed the lid of the black box: "But there are some things I still need to make clear to you. "

"The old city has the highest population density among the nineteen districts in Hanhai, and it has the largest number of mobile people. It is also the place where the number of abnormal events currently breaks out. We have dispatched a large number of investigators from Xinhu, but they can only just maintain the situation. . We will give you the best treatment, and we hope you will not resist some of the instructions we issue." Chen Yuntian always looks calm, as if he has lost human emotions, and will not be angry, sad, or angry. Will not feel happy.

"How many unusual events have you encountered in the old city?" Gao Ming was a little curious.

“0级异常事件21次，1级异常事件17次，2级异常事件7次，3级异常事件2次。”

"So many?" It had only been a few days since Gao Ming came out of the tunnel. He thought there were only a few abnormal events.

"The occurrence of abnormal events is irregular and there is no connection between them, but one thing is certain, the frequency of abnormal events is getting faster and faster." Chen Yuntian spread his palms: "I will give you three days to let you Come and adjust your status and adapt to the change in status. In three days, you will join the investigation team of the Lishan Investigation Bureau and replace Qin Tian."

After watching Gao Ming put on the black ring, Chen Yuntian picked up the black box and left with the other two members of the Investigation Bureau.

"Xiao Gao! They didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Manager Gou and Wei Dayou ran into the house: "These people are really incomprehensible."

"I'm fine." Gao Ming's sleeves covered the black ring: "Is everyone okay too?"

"We can't go home tonight. We're going to stay in the office all night. How about you?" Wei Dayou seemed to have rediscovered his passion for creating games.

"I'm going home."

Gao Ming walked out of the room. Xuan Wen was waiting for him with a cup of coffee: "Your eyes have become much more determined? Are you stimulated?"

"The horror game has become a reality. In addition to me, other players will participate. If the power of Wei falls into the hands of some madmen, the situation may become even more chaotic." Gao Ming did not take the coffee from Xuan Wen's hand.

"Yes, after all, there are very few rational people like you and me." Xuan Wen naturally put herself in the same category as Gao Ming.

"So I have to speed up, take advantage of the information gap, get more things, and take a greater initiative." Gao Ming picked up his backpack with the photo of his body and said: "I leave it to you, Night Light, to find out who is Hidden murder players, and then build a 'production line' specifically to make games for Kaitan."

"Are you willing to believe me now?" Xuan Wen's eyes were full of amusement. She called Gao Ming her husband the first time she met Gao Ming, but only she knew whether she really liked Gao Ming.

"I have always believed in you." Gao Ming ran downstairs, hailed a taxi, and prepared to go back to the old city.

"Chen Yuntian gave me three days to prepare mentally, but he didn't know that I was actually more anxious than anyone else."

Silently turning the black ring, the Investigation Bureau has a complete set of procedures for dealing with abnormal events.Different scenarios require compliance with different rules, such as apartment rules, school rules, hospital rules, etc. These rules can greatly increase the investigator's survival probability, but they do not help the investigator pass the game.

Gao Ming was patiently studying the black ring when the signal light on the black ring suddenly lit up. After feeling a slight vibration, he received a message from the Lishan Investigation Bureau.

"An unusual incident has been discovered in Minlong Street, Lishan, Old City. All available investigators please rush there immediately!"

Most of the abnormal events occurred at night. There were only more than two hours left before dawn. After thinking for a moment, Gao Ming asked the taxi driver to change the destination.

He decided to go to the scene to see how the investigation bureau operates, so that he could be mentally prepared in case he was investigated in the future.

As the taxi traveled through the city's roads, the bustling and dreamy skyscrapers gradually disappeared from the surroundings. Only crowded and dilapidated apartments and densely packed dark windows remained in sight.

If the old city is the poorest district in Hanhai, then Lishan is the poorest and most chaotic place in the old city.

Lishan is not a real mountain, but a large group of old apartment buildings built without planning and illegally.

Densely packed concrete buildings are piled up, and there is no distance between buildings at all. The residences on the ground floor basically cannot get sunlight all year round.

After getting off the taxi, Gao Ming walked through the streets less than two meters apart. Sewage was drained from the damaged pipes at high places. The stench was overwhelming, and screams and shouts could be heard from time to time.

Looking up, the narrow sky was blocked by illegally entangled wires, clotheslines and billboards. Gao Ming did not see the night sky, but only saw depression, dilapidation and filth.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Ming walked past a dental clinic and got into the unlit cave.

The old-fashioned metal sliding door made a screeching sound. The interior of this dilapidated building was completely opened and the lights were bright. Staff members in black uniforms were busy, and most of them did not wear black rings.

The black ring was revealed, and after Gao Ming completed the verification, he felt that the staff looked at him with respect.

Among the Bureau of Investigation, frontline investigators wearing black rings seem to have a high status.

"Hanhai Old City Investigation Branch, Lishan Investigation Bureau investigating a group of first-level investigators Gao Ming, number 01919, hello." The staff in charge of the reception was meeting Gao Ming for the first time and explained the Lishan investigation to him very patiently. Department’s situation: “In order to more conveniently understand abnormal events, the Lishan Investigation Department was established in the Lishan building complex where abnormal events occur most frequently. There are seven streets here. Your investigation team is responsible for Minlong Street and Laijing Street. street."

"I received the message and am going to Minlong Street."

"The investigation team has set off. You may have to act alone. Please follow me."

The staff brought Gao Ming to the back door of the building, where several black modified trams were parked outside: "The roads inside the Lishan complex are narrow, and trams are more convenient. You can activate it directly by using the black ring, and each vehicle is equipped with a navigation system." and communication devices.”

Gao Ming didn’t waste any time, put on his raincoat, rode the tram and left.

He had lived in Laijing Apartment for a long time and was quite familiar with the surrounding area. With the help of navigation, it only took him a few minutes to reach Minlong Street.

The cordon has been drawn up, and four investigators in black uniforms are exchanging words.

Taking off his raincoat and hat, Gao Ming showed his black ring and walked to a few people: "My name is Gao Ming, and I am the investigator who replaced Qin Tian."
