Chapter 15 In-app Purchase Item 'The Power of Wraith'

In the living room, the last 6 minutes of scouting countdown is consumed.

Sirens sounded from far to near on the game screen, and several criminal policemen quickly blocked the murder scene.

Two options pop up on the screen.

【①Cooperate with the criminal police investigation (you will be asked to leave the scene afterwards and the investigation is over). 】

【②Hidden (not being discovered by the criminal police, you can continue to obtain information). 】

Isn't this nonsense?In any case, the second option is more valuable.

Zhou Ze chose 'Hide', and the game continued. Two of the detectives took the aunt, the first witness to the crime scene, aside for questioning, but seemed to ignore him standing in the corner of the living room.

The cross-examination process game is not displayed.

The screen fell into a black screen for a short time, and three prompt boxes popped up.

["Thousand-faced Devil" in-app purchase item: the power of resentful souls. 】

[Does it consume 5 points of merit to induce the power of resentment on the demon to make him encounter bad luck and get two additional clues? 】

[Remarks: The poor souls that were murdered by the devil never dissipated, they entangled with it, until they dragged it to where it should go...the abyss of hell! 】

"...A resentful soul?"

Zhou Ze's expression was heavy, and the image of the horrific corpse couldn't be lingered in his mind.

5 points of merit is not a small amount for him. After buying the new game, he only has 10 points of merit in his hand, and at most two in-app purchases...

However, considering that you can get up to 100 merits for clearing this game, in order to better complete this game, it is not unacceptable to spend a little money to catch the heinous thousand-faced devil as soon as possible.

Click to buy 'The Power of Wraith'.

[The power of resentment has been activated! 】

[Clue ①: Someone may have discovered that most of the fatal injuries of the victims were pinholes in the back of the head, but no one knew that there was also a small hole that could not be concealed in the back of the head of the Thousand-Faced Demon. 】

[Clue ②: The murderer will often return to the scene of the crime to appreciate the expressions on people's faces after seeing his works, and appreciate the helpless appearance of the police... He will leave quietly after the "Extraordinary Countermeasures Team" completely takes over the incident, looking for the next target . 】

"There is also a small hole in the back of the devil's head?"

Zhou Ze pondered for a few seconds: "No wonder the second dialogue option asked me to tease Auntie and touch the back of her head. It turned out to have a deep meaning... I kind of want to read the file and go back and try this option."

The first clue allows him to effectively judge whether a person is a devil with thousands of faces. These 5 points of merit can be said to be well spent.

The second lead is also of value.

The murderer must return to the scene, greatly narrowing the scope of his investigation.

And the 'Extraordinary Countermeasure Team', from the name analysis, is likely to be the secret department of the country that specializes in dealing with extraordinary incidents. As soon as they appear, the demons will run away, which probably means the end of the reasoning.

"I don't know how the Thousand Faces Demon will encounter bad luck after the power of resentful soul is activated?"

The in-app purchase is over and the game continues.

The criminal police who blocked the scene seemed to have completely ignored his presence in the game. They neither summoned the second witness who arrived at the scene nor let him leave. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner under his calm gaze.

After the criminal police cordoned off the scene to disperse the onlookers outside, they began to inspect the dead body with a solemn expression.

The game screen becomes a CG cutscene like a live-action movie.

The young detective frowned: "Cut face, dismember... It's that perverted murderer again!"

The old criminal policeman's expression was solemn: "Notify the 'Extraordinary Countermeasures Team' to take over. This matter is beyond the control of our county-level criminal investigation team. At most, we can cooperate with the superiors to conduct grassroots investigations."

The young criminal policeman took a deep breath: "This is already the third serial murder case in our jurisdiction! Are those people really as mysterious as rumored in the bureau? It's been a long time since this rampant serial killer was caught."

The old criminal policeman shook his head and sighed: "There are some things you still don't understand. It is said that this murderer has been running around for a year or two. In order to arrest him, even the national police forces have been secretly mobilized, but no one can find him... and' Extraordinary Countermeasures', those guys are not ordinary people."

The dialog ends.

"Isn't it an ordinary person? Is it a superpower?"

Zhou Ze found that the conversation between the two detectives contained a lot of information.

The Devil with Thousand Faces committed three crimes in the same city in just one month, and he has been roaming around the country for a long time to commit crimes. The evil influence is huge, but no one can do anything to him...

He doubts whether the murderer to be captured in the game is a real demon, or a person with superpowers?

"What happened to Xiaolan!?"

With an exclamation, a new character appeared in the game CG.

It was a young man in blue with a crew-shaven head. He sneaked into the police cordon and saw the dead body in the living room with a dull expression as if he had been frightened.

This person is the crew-cut man on the list of suspects.

The old detective went up and held down the young man: "Who are you, the deceased?"

"I, I'm her boyfriend."

The flat-headed man seemed unable to bear to look directly at the corpse, closed his eyes and turned his head: "Xiao Lan... is that corpse Xiao Lan?"

At this time, the game CG stops, and three options pop up on the screen.

【①Touch the back of the flat-headed man's head. (High probability of being discovered)]

【②Do not act rashly. (Give up the opportunity)]

[③ Sneak attack on him! (Launch attack)]

Zhou Ze hesitated again and again, and decided to wait a little longer.

Don't forget that he is hiding at the scene of the crime and eavesdropping. If he is discovered, he will definitely end badly. Maybe he will play GG on the spot.

It would be fine if the game was over at other times, but the 'Power of Wraith' he just bought in-app hasn't taken effect yet. If the save file jumps back to before the 'Power of Wraith' was purchased and becomes invalid, wouldn't he be too bad?

Choose option two.

The cutscene CG of the game continues.

The two detectives began to question the crew-cut man, and soon a second character entered the scene.

"An accident happened to Xiaolan's house? Why are there so many policemen..."

A man less than 1.6 meters tall looked outside the blockade, and at first glance he was the short man on the suspect list.

Somewhat strangely, the clothes on the short man's body were covered with dust in many places, and there were also some scratches on the chin that looked like scratched skin, and faintly oozing blood, as if he had just fallen not long ago.

"Just fell? The effect of the power of the resentful soul is to make people suffer bad luck. Could it be that he is..."

Zhou Ze's face was solemn, and his suspicion of the short man was raised to the highest level.

In the game, the flat-headed man frowned when he saw the short man: "Zheng Zhiyong! Why do you have the face to come to Xiaolan's house? Get out!"

"Why am I ashamed? It's you who cheated, not me."

The short man also sneered at the crew-haired man, and there seemed to be a complicated conflict between the two.

The flat-headed man blushed: "I didn't cheat! You planted me!"

"That doesn't change the fact that you are Xiaolan's ex-boyfriend."

The short man snorted, "I'm her boyfriend now, you should get out."

"You!!" The flat-headed man clenched his fists tightly, as if he would rush to beat someone at any time.

"Give me peace!"

The young criminal police stopped the two of them: "If you have anything to say, go to the police station and don't make noise at the crime scene!"
