Chapter 373 I Am Your Friend

"Twelve Golden Immortals?"

Li Qi, who learned from Liu Cheng what the 057 Bureau was doing now, became interested in the Twelve Golden Immortals mentioned by Zhao Chenghu. He asked Liu Cheng:

"Are those summoned real immortals?"

Liu Cheng, who came back to report to Li Qi and cook for him, explained after hearing this question:

"I asked, and Zhao Chenghu said no. He said that although the people inside can use various Taoist techniques in legends, such as flying swords, turning beans into soldiers, and transmitting sound over thousands of miles...but at best they are people who use Taoist techniques, more like..."

Liu Cheng paused here, put the prepared dishes on the table, and concluded:

"Magicians."

From 'Golden Immortals' to 'Magicians', the leap in between can be said to be a world of difference.

However, Zhao Chenghu also has an explanation for this.

The reason why [Twelve Golden Immortals] is called this name is because the signature on the painting is this name. If it is called [Twelve Taoists], then the official name at this moment is also Taoists.

At the same time, Zhao Chenghu also explained to Liu Cheng the naming rules of strange objects.

There are generally three situations for naming strange objects.

The first is the discoverer. The first person who discovers the strange object will name it, such as "Lao Li's Heart Protector" and "Lao Zhao's Razor", which are simple and easy to understand names.

The second is to look at the function of the strange object. The strange object will be named accordingly according to its ability.

For example, the [Invisible Hand] that Li Qi had encountered, the [Barrier-free Mobile Phone] of the Ancient Monuments Association, and the [Spirit Protection Machine] in the 057 Bureau that is responsible for protecting the spirits of the members in the bureau.

Just from the names of these strange objects, you can know what functions they have.

The third is the name that the strange object originally has.

Just like the [Twelve Golden Immortals Picture], it has the signature of [Twelve Golden Immortals Picture] on it, so it is called this name.

The name of the strange object that has been determined will not change due to changes in the ability of the strange object, unless the name of the strange object is really far from the ability.

"Interesting, immortals, magic... all came out."

Li Qi ate the food in the bowl, chewing slowly and thinking.

Since the 'immortals' made by the strange objects can use Taoism, and someone can also use magic with the strange objects, why can't Li Qi, who already masters magic and martial arts, use anything?

What is missing?

Li Qi really wants to understand the reason, but unfortunately, he only has two strange objects in his hands, an invisible hand and a dream town.

He only knows how to use these two strange objects, but can't figure out the real reason why they can be used in this way.

I only know the fact, but not the reason.

In order to thoroughly understand what the strange objects are and how they are made, Li Qi needs to obtain more strange objects and related information.

And this requires Liu Cheng's efforts. If he can hold a high position in the 057 Bureau in the future, Li Qi can also obtain relevant information without any effort.

The dinner was quite pleasant. Except that Sun Xiaoqing left the town from time to time to find a way back, Li Qi's team was basically stable.

The turmoil outside continued, but it had nothing to do with Li Qi who was in the safe house.

With a double safe house and a puppet body for himself, he didn't have to worry about his life safety at all.

Li Qi originally thought so.

Until the pollution found him.

...

Because everything that should be prepared was almost ready, and there was no way to obtain other rare items at present, Li Qi's daily life was now to practice, make some small props, and then go online to play games.

Playing more games, it is normal to join some online groups of game enthusiasts.

Li Qi is a human being after all. He has always maintained his humanity. Of course, he is like ordinary people online, chatting and playing games normally.

This made him find the fun and memories before he crossed over.

Among these netizens, Li Qi chatted well with one person.

The person's ID is [I am your friend], and he is an online friend that Li Qi met after he came back.

The two were just like normal netizens. When they had time, they played games together. When they didn't have time, they each posted some silly pictures and left messages in the group.

Until recently, this [friend] suddenly became abnormal.

[I am your friend]: We have known each other for such a long time, how about meeting offline?

[I am curious]: ?

[I am your friend]: I looked at our address and found that we are quite close. I happen to have time tomorrow. Do you want to meet?

This [friend] proposed the idea of ​​meeting offline. Li Qi didn't care much at first. It seemed that there was no problem for friends who played well online to meet offline.

He didn't think much about it at the time and was about to type to agree to the other party's request.

However, just after the two words "OK" were typed out and not sent out, Li Qi suddenly realized that something was wrong and stopped the finger that was about to press the send button.

With Li Qi's vigilance, how could he allow a stranger who had only known each other online for a few days to come to his safe house casually?

Even if he allowed the other party to come to his safe house, Li Qi should at least consider it.

But Li Qi just agreed without any thought!

"Something is wrong!"

Li Qi suddenly realized that he might have been affected by something.

He looked at the message "I am your friend" on the mobile communication software, narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly deleted all chat records, and also added the other party to the blacklist.

Perhaps Li Qi's reaction was a bit extreme, but when it comes to his own safety, Li Qi cannot be too cautious!

Li Qi's reaction was quick.

Normal people will basically not realize that something is wrong so quickly. It is possible that the 'ok' message has been sent out before they realize what is going on.

Not to mention deleting and blocking it.

However, his reaction had no effect on that [friend] at all.

The moment Li Qi blocked him, a text message was sent to his mobile phone.

It’s [I am your friend].

[Friend]: Why are you blocking me?

[Friend]: Aren’t we friends?

[Friend]: I’m going to find you.

[Friend]: I will find you, my best friend.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.

A series of cell phone notification sounds made Li Qihan's hair stand on end. He squeezed the phone tightly with a solemn expression.

At this moment, Li Qi realized that he was probably entangled in some kind of pollution.

…

"Captain, the pollution information this time has been found out."

In the temporary office of Bureau 057 at the Suhe City Police Station, the female team member Meng Xiaolin brought by Zhao Chenghu reported the information obtained from the investigation to Zhao Chenghu.

Zhao Chenghu sat behind his desk, processing the documents on hand, and said to Meng Xiaolin without raising his head:

"Say it directly."

“This pollution is temporarily named [Non-Existent Friend]. According to our investigation, all the victims of this pollution seemed to have a happy conversation with a certain person in their respective groups before their death.

"However, the strange thing is that except for the victim himself, no one else in the group has any impression of this person."

Meng Xiaolin placed the printed chat history in front of Zhao Chenghu.

These chat records were found by Meng Xiaolin and others from the victims who had not been contaminated by [Friends].

It recorded detailed chat messages between them and this [friend], one of which was highlighted by Meng Xiaolin.

‘Can I come to your house? ’

This is the last and most frequent word sent by [Friend] in many chat records.

Meng Xiaolin continued: “After getting along with the victim for a period of time, the victim will really regard this friend as his best friend, and then this [non-existent friend] will ask to go to the victim’s house to play. ask.

"And once the victim agrees, then... they will be completely entangled in the contamination until their friends actually come to their door."

Liu Cheng, who was also in the office, heard this and asked:

"...And then...the victim died?"

"Judging from the current progress of the investigation, it is like this. The friend will disappear after taking the life of the victim. Whether it is its online chat history or other people's impressions of it, it will disappear, so we can only Find relevant records about it from living victims.”

After reading the report, Zhao Chenghu asked: "What if you reject [friend's] request for a visit?"

"Then he will keep sending messages to pester the victim. If he throws away his mobile phone and isolates any communication device, the victim will also hear the knocking and shouting of [friends] arriving, and then... he will be subjected to some special Under the influence of power, open the door."

In other words, once entangled with this [friend], death seems to be the final outcome.

…

Throw away your phone and turn off your computer.

Li Qi listened to the 'ding-dong' sound that seemed to be ringing in his ears. His face became more and more gloomy. He sat on the sofa and thought for a long time. He lay on the sofa and closed his eyes.

The consciousness separated from the doll's body and returned to the original body that was still in the town.

The main body who was practicing opened his eyes in the mansion. He looked at Li Qiao and others who were building a town outside the mansion and breathed a sigh of relief.

He never thought that even though he was a doll, his body could be affected by pollution, and the pollution was so weird that even if he deleted the other person and didn't look at his phone, the relevant notification sounds would still appear in his mind.

"Pollution is really..."

Li Qi was still frightened and was about to lament the strangeness of pollution.

But suddenly his expression froze again, and he turned to look at the game console placed next to his desk.

It was a game device that Li Qi prepared for his main body in the town to entertain his boring time in the town.

Apart from the built-in games inside, this game console is not connected to any network and does not have any communication software.

But now, the game console rang.

Li Qi walked to the game console silently and picked it up.

A certain pixel game popped up on it. The pixel character in it was holding a mobile phone in his hand, and a few big words were popping up on the pixel mobile phone.

[I am your friend]: Friend, I’m here to see you. Can you open the door?

Click——

Looking at the message above, Li Qi crushed the game console he had been loving for a while.
