Chapter 139 Fishing for the Two-Headed Snake

August 1st, Player World.

The midday sun was scorching, and Li Feng was preparing to eat with the air conditioner blowing on at home.

Just like the feeling after watching a horror movie, Li Feng couldn't help but think about it in the few hours after his return.

On the stage of the first floor hall of the Theater of Sorrow, there was a bloody scene of the weather-beaten middle-aged knight first castrating himself and then gouging out his own heart.

But what was different from watching an ordinary horror movie was that after watching the performance, he was actually manipulated into performing it himself.

There is no solution to this matter yet, so anxiety and fear are unavoidable in my heart.

So much so that after returning to the player world, Li Feng suddenly felt like he was about to die without spending any money.

It was under this subconscious influence that he ordered more food.

Looking at the table of food, Li Feng didn't care. Just when he was about to move his chopsticks, the doorbell suddenly rang.

He stood up and opened the door, only to see yellow smoke.

It was noon now, it was very hot outside, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her head.

Li Feng called her in.

"I just got off the night shift. I passed by the market in front and bought a melon. I couldn't finish it by myself. Come and share half with you."

Huang Yanyan didn't look very good and looked very tired, but he was in a good mood.

She said and handed a huge watermelon to Li Feng, who took it and put it in the kitchen.

He knew in his heart that Huang Yanyan was a player, and he must have just returned last night.

Moreover, since she is a forensic doctor and has this official status, she might also be an official player, so she probably needs to know about Zhihe.

Li Feng chatted with her for a few words and found that she was relaxed and happy.

So I can roughly guess that in the player world, the officials should have already taken care of Paper Crane’s funeral.

There is nothing to worry about anymore.

"Eh? Do you have guests today? Why are there so many dishes?"

Huang Yanyan asked curiously when she saw the large number and extremely rich dishes on the dining table.

When Li Feng heard this, he stopped cutting the watermelon and thought that something had happened again.

"No, I was lucky today and won a large coupon."

Li Feng opened his eyes and told lies.

"Big coupon?"

Huang Yanyan immediately became alert:

"Is it a third-party program? Did you scan a QR code or something?"

Li Feng:......

A friend who is a criminal investigator is like this. She is always worried that you will be cheated.

"No, it's just a benefit for old customers."

Li Feng replied with a smile and immediately changed the subject:

"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat some together."

Huang Yanyan nodded. She felt that Li Feng was not so easy to deceive, so she didn't ask any more questions.

While eating, Li Feng suddenly remembered the news he had seen in the morning that a family of five were murdered at home.

It stands to reason that Zhihe's problem is solved, and no matter how big Cloud City is, there won't be another player like Zhihe.

Therefore, according to probability, this case should have nothing to do with the extraordinary.

However, Li Feng was worried, and since he had seen the official forensic doctor, he decided to ask.

"Wha...what?"

Judging from Huang Yanyan's surprised expression, she didn't know about it yet.

"Maybe I was already off work at that time and didn't receive a notice from the bureau."

After listening to Li Feng's description, Huang Yanyan took out her mobile phone and started searching for news.

But while she was watching the news, another call suddenly came in.

Seeing that it was a call from the research institute, Huang Yanyan avoided Li Feng hearing it, said hello to him, and went to the balcony to pick it up.

Li Feng sat in the restaurant, eating watermelon slowly while listening to the sound of talking on the phone coming from the balcony.

Judging from the content of the conversation, the person on the other end of the phone should be the Public Security Bureau, and they happened to be talking about the case of the family of five.

However, it seemed to Li Feng that the story on the other end of the phone did not involve Chaofan.

It seemed like it was really just an ordinary murder.

Although it is a regrettable tragedy, as long as it does not involve extraordinary things, it can be solved easily.

Li Feng finally felt relieved.

Huang Yanyan on the other side of the phone kept listening. After a few brief replies, she hurried out.

"There's something going on at the bureau, I have to leave first."

As she spoke, Li Feng came to the door to see her off.

"Oh, by the way, don't eat leftovers. It's easy to spoil in hot weather and cause diarrhea."

Huang Yanyan made another confession before leaving.

Li Feng nodded awkwardly in agreement.

…

The afternoon sun was scorching, and Li Feng stood by a river fishing.

After lunch, he used his talent for finding fishing spots and found a river near his home.

Although he encountered something like the Theater of Sadness in the game world, Li Feng's most important task now is to find a solution to the Theater of Sadness.

But the talent of finding fishing spots provides opportunities for promotion every day, and Li Feng is not willing to let it go.

But, are there really extraordinary creatures in the river in the player world?

When he was in the game world, Li Feng didn't think much about this issue.

But now that he was back and looking at the old man beside him, fishing under the sun, Li Feng suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

As an extraordinary person, he naturally hopes for promotion. There are also extraordinary creatures in the player world for him to hunt, but looking at the river bank with people coming and going...

He suddenly felt that it would be better to never have extraordinary people in this world.

However, Li Feng's inner entanglement was quickly broken by the two-headed snake he caught.

That snake is quite strange. It has two heads, but it is not an extraordinary creature. It is just a genetic mutation.

‘Well, no matter what, there are no dangerous extraordinary creatures in the rivers of this world. ’

Because Li Feng caught a two-headed snake on his first fishing line, the uncles fishing around him were very surprised.

With their help, people from the zoo came and people from the TV station came.

After handing the snake to the zoo and declining the TV station's outbound interview, Li Feng returned from the air force.

"Why--"

After wasting an entire afternoon, Li Feng felt the Air Force's reluctance.

Looking at the street scene, he suddenly remembered something and turned the car around and drove to the shopping mall in the city center.

Get out of the car and touch that mall skyscraper.

[You gain endurance enhancement +1%]

‘It really works. ’

But compared with the extraordinary game world, the attributes that can be added to the player world are too few.

Fortunately, Li Feng glanced forward and saw that the entire commercial street was full of high-rise buildings, and the entire Yuncheng was also full of high-rise buildings.

Since you’re fishing for the air force, let’s fish for buildings.

Although there are very few attributes that can be increased, a little adds up to a lot, which is better than nothing.

As the sun set, Li Feng returned to his community after fishing in a modern high-rise building with a few bags of cat food.

He walked around the city and fished all the buildings he saw, which increased his stamina by 5% in total.

"Meow meow~"

Suddenly some wild cats came over. Because Li Feng often fed them, those wild cats recognized him.

Li Feng felt much better when he saw the cat coming.

After giving the food to them, and just as he was about to see if any of the cats were injured or sick, Li Feng suddenly felt like a light on his back, as if he had an inexplicable feeling of being watched.

Suddenly I looked back, there were only trees and flower beds behind me, and no one.

Suspicious in his heart, Li Feng looked around carefully, but there was still nothing unusual.

At the same time, that feeling of being watched was fleeting and now gone.

‘Am I too nervous? ’

Li Feng rubbed his eyebrows. Today, he couldn't help but think of the bloody performance in the Theater of Sadness.

"call--"

Li Feng took a deep breath and made a plan in his mind.

'Anyway, during the fifteen days of return.

First, find a way out of the Theater of Sadness.

Second, be careful in everything. ’

The sun in the sky gradually sets under the tall buildings in the distance, the street lights turn on, and the neon lights rise quietly.

Li Feng went upstairs to go home while thinking about how to deal with the Theater of Sadness.

But at this moment, the mission interface of the game system suddenly appeared.

[All players trigger the mission: Servants of the Paper Controller]

[Task description: The killed paper controller player No. 2251-0453, the servant raised in the player world, is planning to resurrect 2251-0453. 】

[Task requirement: Stop the servants of player No. 2251-0453. 】

[Accept task/Reject task]

On the system interface, text describing the task flashed line by line. Li Feng was a little confused looking at the words.

2251-0453, he remembered this number, it was the player corrupted by the Theater of Sorrow - Paper Crane.

'how? Could it be said that Paper Crane still has some backup plan for resurrection in this world? ’

Surprised and suspicious, Li Feng hurried home and opened the chat channel.

*: "No, isn't the paper crane dead?"

*: "He is dead, but he left some servant in advance who can resurrect him."

*: "Oh my god, I thought I could feel at ease."

*: "Wait a minute, what is the paper controller? The system just called the paper crane a paper controller."

*: "Same question, I also saw the paper controller."

*: "The paper controller is..."

Some players who knew started to explain.

*: "I'm going to turn flesh and blood into paper. This is too perverted!"

*: "Yeah, I really can't imagine how No. 67 killed him at that time."

*: "By the way, speaking of Boss No. 67, now that Zhihe is going to be resurrected, will he take revenge on No. 67?"

*: "I think it's possible, No. 67, be careful!"

*: "Indeed, but as a gangster like me, do we want to take on this mission?"

*: "I'm afraid I have to really rush to accept the mission."

*: "(????e???) Heartbreaking."

*: "Wait a minute, everyone, I remember the official player said it.

Zhihe lives on the outskirts of Yuncheng, so aren't his servants also on the outskirts of Yuncheng? "

*: "Everyone, I just searched Yuncheng News, and there have been two murder cases today!"

*: "What? Don't scare me!"

*: "Oh my God, it's true. One family of five, one family of four, nine lives!"

*: "Ah~ How can this be possible?!"

Li Feng was also surprised when he saw the discussion in the chat channel.

Why is there another murder case?

I immediately took out my mobile phone to search, and sure enough, in addition to the one in the morning, another tragedy happened at noon.

And according to people who knew the victim, this family of four was the same as the one in the morning.

It also has simple interpersonal relationships, no debts, and no emotional disputes.

They are all extremely normal and ordinary families.

But what alarmed Li Feng was that he saw another comment in the comment area of ​​a certain video.

In this case at noon, there was information that the victim’s wardrobe was also rummaged through.

Feeling something was wrong, Li Feng clicked on the comment and was about to continue reading more, but suddenly his phone displayed:

This video no longer exists.

Sensing something, Li Feng hurriedly searched again.

But now, not only the case at noon, but also the cases that the official announced in the morning can no longer be searched.

The dusk outside the window is thick, and Li Feng's heart is uncertain.

…

"No, my old father is 90 this year. He died of cancer. What's the point of autopsy?"

Outside the hospital morgue, Grandpa Wang and several brothers and sisters were extremely depressed.

First, they found out early in the morning that there was one less paper figure for the funeral.

Now the Public Security Bureau and the hospital have notified them that because of suspected infectious diseases, the body cannot be cremated for the time being and an autopsy is required.

Why is my own funeral so unsuccessful?

"I'm sorry, we also received a notice from our superiors. It won't take too long."

Here, a policeman was comforting the family.

Over there, the autopsy of Grandpa Wang has been completed, and the report has been sent back to the institute.

"It was the paper crane who did it."

In the conference room of the institute, team leader Xing Jianhua held a whale bone in the mist, on which the official players' report on the matter was written.

It turns out that before the last time Paper Crane crossed over to the game world, he had already laid out in the player world.

He first concealed the research institute and rented a house in an old community in the city.

Then he accidentally discovered that his neighbor in the same building, Mr. Wang, who was already 90 years old, was diagnosed with cancer.

A plan to hide his tracks and escape was formed in his mind.

On July 31, the day before he was about to cross over to the game world.

He used his extraordinary ability to kill his neighbor, Mr. Wang.

Because the old man was old and seriously ill, the old man’s family did not think much about it and just prepared for his funeral.

Among the items used for the funeral, there were paper people.

At the same time, Paper Crane made a servant who could revive him in advance for fear of dying in the game world, and left it behind the heating pipe of the rental house.

Then at midnight, he crossed over to the game world.

Without any more estimates, Paper Crane escaped from the Violet Eye before Qi Heng, who was also an official player, became suspicious.

Then he gathered the power of the Sad Theater through killing.

Paper Crane knew that as long as he did this, the Violet Eye would definitely not spare him in the game world.

And in the player world, the Institute would also capture him.

But he had already prepared, so he didn't care about the two worlds at all.

But what he didn't expect was that he was eventually killed by the second-level hunter he wanted to hunt.

But that didn't matter, because in the player world, he was ready to escape.

When he died, because of the system notification, the Institute and all the players thought that he, Paper Crane, was dead.

But because the time in the player world stopped, the servants he left behind could just attach to the paper man made for the neighbor's old man.

Paper Crane had already calculated it, because the family was holding a funeral, so even if the Institute found out his whereabouts, it would not be suspicious of the paper man next to the mourning shed.

And the family holding the funeral would not mobilize a large number of troops to call the police just because they lost a paper man.

Even if some of them became suspicious afterwards, his servants had already left the scene and started the plan to resurrect him.

"What a good plan!"

After reporting to the dean of the branch and the senior management of the headquarters in the video conference, the team leader Xing Jianhua sighed in a low voice.

He never thought that the team members who had been with him day and night would commit such a cruel case.

Thinking of the crime scene of the murder case, Xing Jianhua took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then continued with a serious face:

"This time, our team members did not suspect the paper figures used for funerals next to the mourning shed downstairs of the Paper Crane's house.

If the family of five had not been killed this morning, we would have thought that the crisis of the Paper Crane had been completely resolved.

We must make a deep review of this."

"We will discuss the merits and demerits later."

In the video conference, the senior management of the Institute headquarters said:

"Since our players have now received the task of the paper man servant to revive the paper crane.

Then now, the main task of the players is to figure out the servant and how to revive the paper crane, and make early predictions and arrests.

In addition, all non-players, go to set up checkpoints on the road and monitor it to capture the paper man servants throughout the city."

...

The sky illuminated by neon was gray and gloomy. A pale-faced woman looked at the road ahead with checkpoints and pulled her hat.

As a servant of the paper controller, she also has a trace of the soul and memory of the paper crane.

But in order to obtain a human-like body, she must kill living people and absorb their blood, flesh and essence.

But now she also understands that the crime she committed has been exposed.

Those policemen are setting up checkpoints to catch her.

But it doesn't matter, the face of the paper man is painted on.

What role can ordinary surveillance play?

The female paper man sneered.

As she walked forward, she took a deep look at the passers-by who passed by.

Then she pulled down her hat slightly, and when she raised her head again, she had changed her appearance.

The face of the paper man was painted on, so the paper man had a thousand faces.
