When taking a taxi back to the city, Xu Huo was stuck in a residential area.
The road was crowded with people, and car horns kept blaring, but more and more people came around, and many people squeezed out from the front and were talking vividly to others.
Opening the car window, he listened carefully and saw vague words such as "corpse" and "dismemberment".
"The world is not peaceful now." The driver sighed, "You said that others were living well, not provoking anyone, and ended up dead without any body parts."
"Is there someone dead inside?"
"No, several families died." The master said: "In one night, fourteen people from five families were killed quietly. All the adults and children were left with were their heads, hands, feet, and intestines and stomachs. Everything else was gone.
!”
"What kind of perverted murderer do you think can do such a crazy thing? The key is that he did it in one damn night. No one noticed it, and they don't know how the body was taken away..."
While the driver was still talking, Xu Huo thought of another bad thing.
After the evolvers and players, game copies are projected into the real world, and they kill people indiscriminately, which means that from now on, ordinary people will have to bear the same risks as players.
"...I heard that this happened more than once." The driver lowered his voice subconsciously, "There were three or four cases just in the south of the city. Even the big shots from above came here. People in the community were moved cleanly.
It’s no different from a ghost house.”
Xu Huo also saw familiar uniforms in the crowd just now. Those people were wearing the same clothes as the special agents Nie Xuan met outside the hotel.
"Master, do you know which communities these are?"
The driver announced several names in one breath and even gave an approximate time.
Xu Huo estimated the location on the map. There was no specific location, and there was no pattern in time.
I took out my mobile phone and browsed the local news and hot posts. Most of them were scolding evolutionaries. Because the time interval and method of committing crimes have exceeded human limits, the possibility of being evolutionaries is very high. Some of them kept questioning and criticizing.
Officials use this to vent their emotions.
There wasn't much information worth referencing, so he logged into the forum again.
As expected, the government is calling on players to come to Tingcheng to resolve the incident, and some details of the case have also been announced.
The people who were killed were regardless of age or sex. Except for their internal organs, most of the adults had their hands, feet, and heads left, while the children only had their feet, and all other body parts were missing.
What is mind-numbing is that they were all put in pockets and thrown back, returning wherever they disappeared.
The object is not fixed to the player, there is no warning, no ticket is required, the location is random, and it is presented in different ways across the country. The official calls this game mode a random copy.
Officials have tried their best to search for the location where the instance was triggered, but to no avail, so they called on players to take action because in just a few days, the number of missing people has reached a hundred, and all missing locations have been investigated, and no trace can be found at all.
Therefore, we can only hope that if a player accidentally enters the dungeon, he can bring back the missing person.
Turning off his phone, Xu Huo shook his head. In this situation, not only would no players dare to come, but even local players would flee.
"Young man, we're here." The taxi stopped.
Xu Huo paid and got out of the car. Yu Qingqing's manager was already waiting at the door of the building. When he saw him hurriedly coming to greet him, he said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you are here. Please come upstairs quickly."
Xu Huo followed him into the elevator and got off on the twenty-eighth floor.
The secretary politely invited him to the reception room, "Mr. Zheng is in a meeting and it won't be over for a while. Mr. Xu, please sit down and have some tea first."
Xu Huo glanced at his agent, who was wiping away cold sweat, and said, "Just five minutes."
The secretary went out quickly.
At this time, in the next room, Mr. Zheng, the boss of the entertainment company, was observing Xu Huo through surveillance cameras accompanied by special agents.
"Is he this person?" A young man with red hair asked coldly and arrogantly.
"That's him!" Mr. Zhu, who had gauze tied around his neck, said immediately: "I was almost strangled to death by him yesterday. He must be an evolver and must have eaten people. You should catch him quickly!"
The red-haired man looked down at the information on the table and frowned: "He killed three people?"
"Yes, but it was later found out that the three he killed were all evolved people who had killed people before." Zhao Biao, who had dealt with Xu Huo, said hurriedly: "And the bodies were in good condition..."
"It's in the information, you don't need to tell me." The red-haired man interrupted him and said without raising his head: "No matter who he is, he must be arrested if he disrupts social order."
After speaking, he said to the others behind him: "Be careful. This man is experienced, good at disguise, and has special props. When you arrest him, beware of him taking hostages and escaping."
"He stood up!" Xiao Zheng, the company's vice president, shouted.
"action!"
More than a dozen special agents poured into the reception room with power grids and tranquilizer guns specially designed to deal with evolvers, but the moment the door was pushed open, the first special agent disappeared!
The fellow team members were so shocked that they immediately raised their guns and aimed at the person standing on the other side of the table. But before the injection could be administered, he disappeared from the place, as if wiped out of thin air, and only the gun clattered to the ground!
"what happened!"
"The person suddenly disappeared!"
Although the special agents have been trained in advance and know how special the player is, they have never heard of the ability to make people disappear when they meet in person like this!
How do they deal with this!
Everyone retreated in shock and anger, only to see Xu Huo, who was supposed to be sure of victory, suddenly changed his face and rushed towards the floor-to-ceiling glass window!
"Don't let him run away!" The red-haired man yelled amid the sound of the glass breaking. Everyone only saw Xu Huo jumping out of the window, but they didn't see the half-figure who chased after him!
"The person ran away?!" Mr. Zhu came in and saw that they had not caught anyone. "What do you guys do for food? There are so many people, there are power grids and tranquilizer guns, and you can't catch anyone!"
The red-haired man gave him a cold look and punched the long solid wood table in half.
Mr. Zhu shut his mouth, and the red-haired man said: "Search one floor at a time. This is the twenty-eighth floor. If he can't jump to the bottom, he must still be in the building."
"Snapped!"
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the reception room, and two more special agents disappeared!
"What...what's going on..." Mr. Da Zheng backed away in shock. Before he could finish his words, he disappeared in full view of everyone!
"It's Xu Huo! It must be him! He's going to kill us all!" Mr. Zhu ran out frantically, and when he reached the door, he also followed Mr. Zheng's footsteps.
"This is not Xu Huo's ability, it's a random copy!" The red-haired man changed his color in horror, and immediately yelled: "Quick! Get out of this building!"
The people in the reception room scrambled to escape, but they disappeared one after another. The special agents, the staff of the entertainment company, and the police who cooperated with the operation, none of them walked out of the 28th floor and the redhead dialed the institute's phone number.
