"Report to Chief Xu that the artist is dead. The cause of death is unknown. There were no fatal injuries on his body. No signs of resistance were found at the scene. It is initially estimated that he died in his sleep."
Xu Han's heart sank. She didn't shy away from answering the phone, so everyone heard the content of the call, but they all kept silent.
"You're still sleeping in broad daylight...any clues?"
"At one point, his mouth was torn off." A voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone a little solemn.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the monitoring room became subtle.
"……I see."
After a pause, Xu Han said, "Protect the scene and let Meng Xiu take a look first. I have other things to deal with for the time being, so I'll be there later."
"yes."
Xu Han hung up the phone and there was silence in the monitoring room.
Before anyone could ask, she explained aloud, "The artist is mine, a person with B-level abilities, and he is dead now."
Yang Buwei raised his brows slightly, B-level transcendental beings were considered high-end combatants no matter which force they were in. The death of such a character would definitely be a huge loss to Dongyang City.
It's just that a dignified B-level extraordinary person died in mysterious circumstances...
Xue Hongyu suddenly said: "As far as I know, 'tearing off the mouth' has always been one of the transaction rewards collected by the secret store. Could this artist have made a transaction with the secret store?"
The secret store is currently the most famous restricted area for activities. It will appear randomly all over the world. You may enter it the moment you open the door. There is no rule at all, and anyone has a chance to see it.
The secret shop claims to sell any secret in the world, but the price is very expensive. Customers must pay a price equal to the secret to get the secret.
However, after judgment, the so-called price is actually a cover. The secret shop will definitely create some factors after the transaction is completed to take the customer's life and tear off the customer's mouth for an unknown purpose.
In other words, once a transaction is made with the secret store, the fate of death is already determined, it is just a matter of how long it will take.
It was precisely because he knew the information about the secret store that Xue Hongyu made such a guess. If it was really the secret store, it would not be surprising that the artist died in a daze.
Xu Han shook his head and said: "The artist also knows the secret store. He can't be so stupid to do such a thing. Even if he has really made transactions with the secret store, he will tell us to seek help instead of doing nothing and waiting to die.
."
"So this shouldn't have anything to do with the secret store."
Xue Hongyu wanted to say more, but Xu Han continued, "I'm sorry, this is a family matter in Dongyang City. We will investigate as soon as possible. The most important thing right now is the test of the tomb keeper and the expansion of Pingping Paradise. Please don't worry about it.
."
The implication of her words was obvious, that is, she hoped that everyone would stop meddling in other people's business and do business first.
The people in the parliament and Huangquan actually didn't pay much attention to this. There were so many people dying due to strange reasons every day, and they didn't have much time to care.
The reason why they asked about it was just because the incident happened at this special period, and the person who died was a B-level transcendent.
At this moment, Lu Zhan suddenly asked: "If I guess correctly, the artist should be responsible for arresting Mu, right?"
Everyone was stunned.
Xu Han couldn't understand what he meant, and said coldly: "You don't want to say that the artist's death was revenge for this incident, do you? Lu Zhan, please pay attention to your position and don't be alarmist!"
Lu Zhan said calmly: "I'm just asking. Sir Xu just needs to answer yes or no."
"Don't talk to me in this tone. In terms of position, I'm one level higher than you." Xu Han said coldly.
It has to be said that the control room today is very lively. There is a conflict between the parliament and Dongyang City. Dongyang City does not seem to be dealing with each other very much. Even the voices within the parliament are different. It can be said to be a big drama.
The atmosphere at the scene was quite heavy. Only He Shang watched the show happily. It had nothing to do with Huang Quan anyway.
If Jian Wugui hadn't given him a cold look, he would have taken out the melon seeds and continued eating them.
And when Xu Han was silent, Yang Buwei's voice suddenly sounded: "To be honest, I also want to know whether the arrest was carried out by that artist."
His attitude is self-evident, he obviously has trouble getting along with Xu Han.
City No. 1 is the capital city of Dongyang City, and the meeting hall represents the attitude of Dongyang City. Since they have been hiding everything from the parliament and have unknown plans secretly, the parliament naturally does not need to give them any face.
Otherwise, if word of what happened here spreads, and all the cities and districts follow suit, and each one goes against the law and conceals it, then is there still a need for the existence of the parliament?
Especially in this special period, Parliament must find opportunities to regain its dignity.
Xu Han had no expression on his face, but he was cursing secretly in his heart. She was just doing things according to the instructions of the council, but now she had to bear the wrath of the council alone. Even Lu Zhan, who worked for Dongyang City, was constantly provoking him, not to mention too much in her heart.
Feeling uncomfortable.
No wonder those congressmen can’t shirk themselves one by one...
It’s all Lu Zhan’s fault!
"Yes, but I don't think the arrest has anything to do with the artist's death." After a while, she replied.
In fact, the artist's death was indeed beyond her expectation, but she didn't think it had anything to do with the arrest. Lu Zhan was just leading him randomly.
Jian Wugui looked at Lu Zhan.
The latter shook his head and said: "I am indeed just asking casually, but in my opinion, at this abnormal time in the restricted area, the strange death of a B-level ability user may very well mean some special meaning."
"What does it mean?" everyone asked curiously.
"have no idea."
"..."
Of course, Lu Zhan didn't know why the artist died, but he didn't think his words were alarmist.
Mu is an existence that can leave the restricted area. Before the identity of the enemy and the enemy is confirmed, he really doesn't want to anger the girl and force the other party to the opposite side.
Once a problem arises, the other party will undoubtedly take revenge on Dongyang City. Because of her life experience, she probably has no good impression of human beings.
More importantly, for these guys who have been around for a long time, he always feels that many things seem to have been arranged long ago. Maybe Mu is not actually sleeping, and maybe he was caught here for some purpose.
.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. You guys from Dongyang City are really interesting."
Jian Wugui took a deep look at Lu Zhan and said, "Exploring Pingping Paradise is the top priority right now. We must use it to find the reason behind the expansion of the restricted area as soon as possible."
"As for other things... whether it's concealment or speculation, wait until this matter is over and then we can talk about it slowly."
His tone was cold.
Lu Zhan secretly sighed in his heart, forgetting that he couldn't beat anyone in the restricted area, this time when Huang Quan and the council came out, they came without warning, and the ones they sent were all cruel.
A Yama and a director are both people who can make the safety zone tremble three times by stomping their feet.
...Have my majestic days really passed?
Everyone was silent, and then focused their attention on the screen and monitors.
There was no sound in the monitoring. Bai Mo and Liu Qingqing didn't seem to have much conversation. It took a long time before I heard Bai Mo exclaim: "Look, there is a vending machine there!"
Everyone looked at the screen subconsciously. A prisoner wearing a camera followed Bai Mo, and everyone also saw the so-called vending machine from a distance.
Judging from the appearance alone, it is indeed similar to an ordinary vending machine, but I don't know what kind of products are sold, or whether it is dangerous.
Bai Mo seemed very interested in this and was about to go over to check, but Liu Qingqing held him back: "Wait a minute, don't go there."
"What's wrong?"
Liu Qingqing made an excuse at random: "I just remembered that I didn't bring any money."
She actually said this because she was worried that there might be something wrong with the vending machine.
What if there were a bunch of corpses inside...
But Bai Mo smiled and said: "What do I think it is? It's okay. I brought the money."
As he said that, he strode towards the vending machine. He didn't know what he saw, but his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" Liu Qingqing quickly followed over and asked nervously.
The reason why she entered the restricted area this time was actually because of Lu Zhan's arrangement.
After learning about the council's attitude toward the tombkeepers, Lu Zhan realized that these guys didn't seem to want to continue with the city prison plan, otherwise they wouldn't have arrested Bai Mo directly.
One of the purposes of entering Equality Paradise this time was to test the characteristics of the tombkeeper. The council did not deliberately arrange for anyone to guide the tombkeeper. Perhaps in their view, studying the state of the tombkeeper after he woke up was also part of the test.
After realizing this, Lu Zhan had to arrange for people to enter the restricted area immediately in order to guide the tombkeeper at the critical moment and prevent him from waking up.
Considering various reasons, he finally chose Liu Qingqing, and Liu Qingqing, who had always had little experience, also accepted this arrangement.
He didn't know the reason why the council suddenly changed its plan for the tombkeeper, so that it directly gave up the time-consuming and laborious preparation of the city prison plan and instead directly controlled it.
He just felt that it was dangerous, quite dangerous.
On the screen, Liu Qingqing thought Bai Mo had discovered something strange, but saw the latter shaking his head and saying helplessly: "I suddenly remembered that you can only use paradise coins to buy things here."
"There are so many rich and novel products, but I can't afford any of them."
novel?
Liu Qingqing looked at it and saw that the vending machine only had a coin slot, and there was a black five-finger palm print on it, which seemed to be able to be pressed.
She didn't dare to touch it, but Bai Mo pressed it curiously. The next second, the screen of the vending machine suddenly lit up, showing "Balance: 6" in green characters.
"Hey, I actually have six paradise coins?" Bai Mo said in surprise.
"I remember it was given to you because of your VIP status."
Liu Qingqing said, and tentatively pressed her fingerprint. The words "Balance: 0" suddenly popped up on the screen, but the font was white.
Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Look, I only have zero."
Bai Mo looked surprised: "What a smart vending machine. It can actually display the balances of different people when you touch it, but we haven't done any identification or anything like that..."
He was puzzled and could only judge it as technological progress.
Liu Qingqing looked at the vending machine. There were many products in it, and the names were even more diverse. But just taking a look at them, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her heartbeat almost skipped a beat.
"These products...are all rare treasures?!"
The so-called treasures are special items that are beneficial to human beings. They have various functions and are quite precious. She saw the longevity fruit and silver flower inside at a glance. These are both confirmed precious treasures!
She saw a variety of products in the vending machine, including the Source Stone that many people dreamed of. Some of the products had names that she couldn't even imagine, and they were so impressive at first glance.
Of course, the price is also ridiculously expensive.
Curiosities!
They are all rare treasures!
Liu Qingqing's heart was beating wildly.
This may be the biggest discovery since entering Pingpin Paradise. If only I could take out all the products inside...
She quickly threw away this unrealistic idea. These things were not necessarily real. They might be some kind of false illusion, and they might even be accompanied by some terrible danger.
I have to say that from entering Equality Paradise until now, everything seems too peaceful.
Of course, this might have something to do with the presence of the tombkeeper, but she felt that it might also be that an opportunity had not yet arrived.
...This vending machine is so precious, some people will definitely be crazy about it.
To put it bluntly, even if there was really nothing wrong with this vending machine, she wouldn't be able to get the Paradise coins to buy it. The cheapest product in the vending machine cost more than six Paradise coins, and Bai Mo couldn't afford it either.
"Let's go, we can't afford it."
Liu Qingqing pulled Bai Mo away as she spoke. She still thought it would be better to leave this place as soon as possible.
Bai Mo regretted: "These things are too expensive, and my few park coins are not enough... But I remember that the doll at the door said that you can earn park coins from the game projects in the park."
He looked around all the way, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He really saw an interesting project, and he saw three big characters written on the sign -
"Arm wrestling."
Is there such a thing as arm wrestling in an amusement park?
He suddenly became interested and suggested: "Officer Qingqing, there is an arm wrestling project over there, why don't we go and have a look."
"It's still not possible."
"Why don't you enter an amusement park and do nothing?" Bai Mo said with a smile, "And this is the first time I've heard of this project, so go check it out."
With that said, he walked towards the direction of the sign.
Along the way, Bai Mo always looked excited, but Liu Qingqing had a bitter look on his face. I'm afraid this guy is the only one in the entire Equality Paradise who can be happy...
She couldn't think of any reason to stop Bai Mo, so they simply walked towards the arm wrestling event together.
There is only a black dome awning next to the standing sign. There is a single round table under the awning, and a chair is placed next to the round table.
That seems to be all there is to this project.
It looks very simple. The only thing worth noting is that there is a round hole as thick as an arm in the center of the round table. I don’t know what it is for.
As soon as the two people approached, a mechanical voice sounded from the table: "Equality Paradise welcomes you."
"Arm wrestling, one coin per time, starts as soon as you sit down. The winner will get five coins. You can only participate three times."
"Credit is available," the mechanical voice emphasized.
He will also take the initiative to introduce you, which is too smart...
Bai Mo clicked his tongue in surprise and asked curiously: "There is only a chair here, who do you want to arm-wrestle with?"
After a long silence, the mechanical voice actually answered: "The full name of this project is 'Your Power', and the challenger will compete with the mechanical arm for strength."
For some reason, Bai Mo felt that this voice suddenly sounded a bit like the doll at the door.
"Your power?" he asked curiously.
Mechanical Sound explained: "The robotic arm will be adjusted through the challenger's force feedback, and will always be equal to the challenger's strength, that is, the challenger needs to compete with his own strength."
"It's interesting, wrestling with yourself, how to win..."
Bai Mo said this, but he was eager to try it and sat directly on the chair, "I'll give it a try."
He moved so fast that Liu Qingqing didn't even have a chance to stop him.
The black dome lit up like a dazzling ball of light, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
The people who followed Bai Mo from afar had already come over to watch, looking forward to what would happen next with great interest.
Ping Ping Paradise has changed so much that none of them dared to touch the rides and could only wander around. Now it was time for this stupid young man to explore the way.
The crowd was noisy, and some people looked horribly ugly.
They also followed Bai Mo's example and went to the vending machine to check their balance.
