Chapter 36 Undead in Flames (2)

Of course Yan Ruyu wants to spend the New Year with Wu Cuo, he is not someone who breaks the old rules easily, unless something particularly important happens.

Right now, something particularly important is happening in the game, in fact, it has spread from the game to real life.

Three days ago, when Yan Ruyu opened the game, a message about the New Year's event popped up.

For games, it's no big deal to make some gimmicks during the Chinese New Year to make money, but this news obviously has nothing to do with making money.

"As the most special player of the "Who is the Murderer" series of games, we invite you to participate in real case simulation games as the New Year approaches.

Case Name: Dead Souls in the Sea of ​​Fire

Facts of the case: On a summer night 20 years ago, an old building in the suburbs of Beijing caught fire, and five policemen were burned to death.A week after the incident, the police hastily announced that the case was an act of retaliation by the underworld, and all investigation records were sealed up as confidential...

Twenty years later, the undead in the sea of ​​fire will reappear singing nursery rhymes:

The six little friends were forced to a dead end,

One betrayed, crying for forgiveness.

Concentrate on countermeasures, submit petitions,
I don't know that outside the house door, the evil spirits make amends with their knives.

A big fire burned, and the doors and windows were blocked.

To ask who survived, visit the mist on New Year's Eve.

……

Are you involved in New Year's Eve activities?
……

Yan Ruyu read this message over and over again, and even took a picture of it with her mobile phone.

There was indeed an unsolved case 20 years ago in which five policemen were burned to death. There was no case record and no insiders. Even the cases investigated by the five policemen were sealed up, as if an invisible hand had erased all information about them. clues.

There are only 5 hero titles that can neither be eaten nor spent as money.

Among the five policemen who died, there were two couples, one of which was Yan Ruyu's parents, and the other was Wu Cuo's parents.

Wu Cuo is a positive and optimistic person. He believes in the so-called official statement that his parents died for a just cause, and for some reason, this just cause cannot be made public.For him, parents are spiritual beliefs.

Yan Ruyu was different. On the day before his parents' accident, he overheard a conversation in which he mentioned the crime of a certain leader and the methods the leader used to cover up the crime.Yan Ruyu could hear the fear and anger in her parents' tone.

He firmly believes that parents are by no means "glorious sacrifice", but "being plotted against".

Yan Ruyu has been investigating the case. It can be said that the reason why he accepted the pension arrangement of his parents' unit and is engaged in his current job is largely because he wants to find out the case.

Time is a good medicine for forgetting, 20 years have passed, people who remember the old things have been scattered all over the world.Therefore, when this unsolved case appeared in the game activities, Yan Ruyu was shocked and puzzled beyond words.

He even faintly felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes behind the monitor, which could see through his thoughts.

What do game developers really want to do?
He checked the game's official website and forums, but there was no publicity or discussion about this event.

It was as if... he was the only one who received the event notification.

Is someone hinting at something?
Yan Ruyu returned to the game, clicked "Yes" at the bottom of the dialog box, and agreed to participate in the New Year's Eve event.

"In the real case simulation game, any accidents or even death may occur, are you sure to participate?"

Yan Ruyu clicked "Yes" again, and the in-game chat window popped up.

It was the first time that Yan Ruyu knew that there was a chat system in "Who is the Murderer", and the system automatically added a friend named Lucy for him.

Lucy's profile picture is a blonde beauty, full of European and American style.

"Hello, welcome to participate in the real case simulation game." Lucy greeted first.

"Hello."

"The first clue to the undead in the sea of ​​fire will be sent to you on time at midnight on New Year's Eve. Please log in in advance and wait."

"Is the undead in the sea of ​​fire a real case?"

……

"???"

……

"Lucy, are you still there?"

……

The other party never answered again.

New Year's Eve activities are definitely tricky!Yan Ruyu came to a conclusion.

First of all, if the customer service of the game company dared to neglect the players like this, especially Yan Ruyu, who is a high-level player, I am afraid they would have been fired a long time ago.The reason why they dare to show this attitude is because they know that Yan Ruyu will continue to play even so, and they seem to know that Yan Ruyu will definitely be interested in this case.

Secondly, even the Chinese who are addicted to games will put down the games on New Year's Eve to spend time with their families.Announcing important game clues at this time, and Niu X coaxing people to "log in in advance and wait", there is a lot of "what should ordinary players do, stay with those who are really related to this case, let's talk about it" mean.

At 11:[-] in the evening, the sound of firecrackers outside has begun to rise and fall. Maybe the Spring Festival Gala is even uglier than last year.

Someone was setting off fireworks nearby, and they could see clearly through the window.

The fireworks flew into the sky with a whoosh, and exploded, like dandelions, red, green, gold, and purple.

When it was 5 minutes before 12 o'clock, Yan Ruyu came to the computer and logged into the game.

12 minutes until 3:[-].

Is this considered old age keeping?Yan Ruyu suddenly had such an idea.

Maybe make a wish?
Forget it, what a grown man.He rejected the idea again in his mind.

At the same time that the time in the lower right corner of the computer changed from 23:59 to 0:00, the chat window popped up again.

Still Lucy.

"Mission: Connect, and get the first clue from the connector.

Connection location: South entrance of Jiaozi Hutong.

Connector code: Brother, is the rheumatism better?If the other party answers: put a dog skin plaster on it, it will be much better.Then the connection is successful.

Reminder: Please rush to the joint location as soon as possible, the clue will only be given to the first person who successfully joints. "

Yan Ruyu didn't dare to be negligent. He guessed that he was not the only one participating in the game, but he didn't expect that the game developers were intentionally amplifying the players' sense of competition.

After a little hesitation, Yan Ruyu pinned the pistol on his back and hurried out the door.

Jiaozi Hutong is not well-known, and the modern urban construction has made the Hutong such an ancient place gradually forgotten by people. Fortunately, the navigation is powerful enough, and the road is very empty. After more than 20 minutes, Yan Ruyu arrived at the destination.

It's really cold in Beijing at midnight, the northwest wind is not strong, but it shaves people's faces like a knife.

Yan Ruyu got out of the car and looked around.

The white mist that came out of his nose with each exhalation made his vision a little blurred.

Soon, another place with white mist caught Yan Ruyu's attention.

It was a mass of black huddled under the wall, breathing white mist rhythmically, and when I got closer, I found that it was an unkempt homeless man.

Yan Ruyu is not a sentimental person, but today is New Year's Eve, when this homeless man is huddled in the street corner alone, it is easy to arouse people's compassion.

Yan Ruyu handed the homeless 100 yuan. At this moment, a man wearing a black ski jacket and a white mask hurried over.Yan Ruyu left the homeless man and walked towards the man.

"Brother, is the rheumatism better?"

The man was taken aback, took two steps, stopped again, pointed to his head and said, "Are... are you okay here?"

Obviously, this is a passerby, so Yan Ruyu had no choice but to give up.

Just as he continued to look around, a few beams of headlights came on, and three cars came straight to the south entrance of Jiaozi Hutong.

Judging by the situation, they should also come to find a connector, and the person who came is not good!
Yan Ruyu subconsciously hid in the sedan chair alley, to check the situation first.

At this moment, the homeless man who was squatting at the foot of the wall at the entrance of the alley suddenly got up, couldn't stand firmly, and bumped into Yan Ruyu.

"Hey, there are a lot of dog skin plasters on it!"

When these words came out of the homeless man's mouth with the smell of alcohol and tobacco, the hairs on Yan Ruyu's back stood on end.

He felt his pocket sink, and something had obviously fallen into it.

Yan Ruyu subconsciously reached out and touched it, it was a tape!
The homeless man walked out of the alley as if nothing happened. Yan Ruyu wanted to chase the homeless man to ask for clarification, but more than ten people had already got off the car at the entrance of the alley, and the leader shouted: "Take care of this area for me." ! Anyone who dares to connect before us will be killed directly!"
