Being a bug in a survival game

"What if... you really have some unique hobby and want to kill him with your own hands?" Fatty said in a rare retort.

Su Tingyu blinked: "Then Fatty, you should be able to rest assured."

"Why, boss?" The fat man became confused.

"Because your neck is so thick, maybe the murderer behind the scenes can't hold your neck with both hands?" Su Tingyu said with a smile.

When the fat man heard this, he immediately shrank his neck.

When Su Tingyu said this, Fatty became even more worried.

"Staying here all the time is not an option. We can't be so passive." Su Tingyu changed the subject.

The fat man touched his neck, which was still intact, and said, "Big brother, do we want to go out and look for clues? But, I don't know where to look, there's not even a direction."

Just when Su Tingyu was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of Qin Qi standing up and walking straight to the table where the computer was placed.

Then sit down and turn on your computer.

Su Tingyu's eyes brightened slightly and he walked over quickly.

"Qiqi, have you thought of it too?"

"This copy world is a modern society with the existence of the Internet, so you can easily find clues online." Qin Qi said.

The fat man also came over to watch.

"This round of dungeons has hinted from the beginning that players should focus on escaping instead of collecting additional information. The dungeon only lasts for 12 hours and can be passed by just sleeping."

Su Tingyu watched Qin Qi searching for criminal records of recent local crimes in Lemon City.

There were three criminals on the run inside.

The first one is committing the crime of theft.

The second one involved a local fight, resulting in the death of two people, and then absconded in fear of crime.

The third one is a bit crazy, an indiscriminate murderer.

The more suspicious one is the third one.

The gender of this murderer is unknown. He has killed twenty-three people so far, including men, women and children. Moreover, no special connection has been found between these victims. It seems that they are really indiscriminate killings.

There is only so little information that can be found online.

"Brother Qin, why don't you take a look at the dark web?" Fatty reminded.

The Internet is divided into clearnet and darknet.

Clearnet, the kind that ordinary people can access.

The dark web requires some special channels to enter.

On the dark web, there is a lot of information that is unknown and inconvenient to be disclosed to the public.

"I'll give it a try first." Qin Qi replied.

The fat man came closer without taking his eyes off the screen. From time to time, he would reach out and click somewhere on the screen: "Here, here...see if you can get in here...and here, and here...this link... …”

After tinkering for half an hour, the two finally entered the dark web and found more detailed information about the third criminal.

This criminal seems to kill people indiscriminately, but the victims all have one thing in common, that is, before they die, they will receive a letter containing a piece of letter paper and a black card.

The contents of the letter were all about the victim's personal privacy, as well as some dirty things, some of which were so excessive that it even made the police officers think that death would be beneficial to society.

But no matter what, under the law, killing is illegal.

The victim's card shows a different pattern every three hours, with a total of four patterns.

After many confirmations, it can be concluded that:

The first pattern is the scene of the victim's death.

The second pattern is the time of death of the victim.

The third pattern is the murder weapon that caused the victim's death.

The fourth pattern contains information about the murderer.

And whether these patterns are true or false, at least two of the four patterns provide real clues.

Su Tingyu picked up his card: "This shouldn't be a copy prop, right? This panel doesn't even show it, so what's the principle of changing the pattern?"

Fatty: "I can understand the first three patterns. They should be to intimidate the victim. However, his fourth pattern directly exposes his own information. Why is this?"

Su Tingyu guessed: "Maybe it's a provocation? Is it a hobby?" Anyway, the world is so big, there should be one or two perverts.

"It's almost midnight now, and the third pattern is about to appear." The fat man quickly looked at the time.

"Indeed." Su Tingyu placed the cards next to the computer table so that he could see the changes in the card patterns immediately.

"However, I am curious, how can a pattern be changed every once in a while? Qiqi, have you found it on the dark web?"

"There is a record with the police." Qin Qi said.

Hearing this, Su Tingyu and the other two turned their attention to the computer screen again.

Qin Qi opened a document.

"Soaking in potion... different... synthesis..."

Su Tingyu looked at the information above and felt that it was a bit eye-opening.

This small card is actually made up of four cards, with patterns engraved on each card.

The potion used in that pattern is very special. It can reveal the pattern at different times, and then achieve a feeling of foretelling of death.

This method is quite capable of bluffing people.

Su Tingyu asked: "Is there any personal information of the murderer behind this?"

Qin Qi shook his head: "Not really."

"There have been 23 murder cases in the city all of a sudden, and people are already panicking. The specific circumstances of this case have not been made public. Otherwise, if the murderer behind the scenes specifically selects those who have done dirty things, it is very likely that it will cause social turmoil. Public goodwill.”

The fat man looked at Qin Qi from the left and Su Tingyu from the right, and said in surprise: "No matter how you look at it, it looks like an ancient chivalrous act of raping and eradicating evil, although the method is a bit cruel."

"Another point is that the previous victims were all locals, and our current dungeon identities are all outsiders. Is the murderer behind this not satisfied with just punishing rape and eradicating evil in this small town? He also wants world peace. ah?"

As Su Tingyu said this, he felt a bit out of place.

Fatty: "Then what are we going to do now?"

"Wait, what else can we do? Wait for the murderer behind the scenes to come and strangle you." Su Tingyu shrugged.

"Oh no?"

"..."

As we talked, midnight was already here.

Su Tingyu looked at the three people's cards, and the patterns on them began to change again.

This time, what appeared was indeed an item.

The pattern of Su Tingyu is: rope.

Qin Qi’s pattern is: car.

The pattern of the fat man is: clothes.

"Is this... is this the weapon that will kill us?" The fat man's eyes widened: "It seems that ropes and cars are more reliable. Ropes can strangle people, and cars can kill people, but clothes... …Could the clothes also strangle the neck? Or could it suffocate the person to death?"

At this time, Su Tingyu suddenly felt that there was light outside the curtain... Why?

Su Tingyu walked over and opened the curtains.

The sun shines through outside.

"Why is it dawn? Isn't it still past 0 o'clock?"

Su Tingyu looked at the position of the sun in the sky and found that it was in the west and felt that it was already setting.

This time period should be dusk...

Qin Qi added at this time: "By the way, this dungeon world seems to rise in the west and set in the west, and a day is six hours long."

"Wow, there is such a dungeon world." Fatty said he was shocked.

At this time, the three people's panels popped up:

[Dear Angel Su players, hello! 】

[The plan for the day lies in the dusk, please don’t waste your good time early]

[You have just arrived in Lemon City. As a foreigner, you want to know about the local customs or specialties. You choose from left to right. Finally, you choose a hemp rope (at least five meters) with the characteristics of Lemon City. So , you will go out to find the special items you need]

Su Tingyu: Uh-huh? ? ?

What kind of specialty is hemp rope?

If you want her to die, just say so!

Qin Qi and Fatty also received the same panel content, but the special products were changed to "cars" and "clothes".

"Good guy, here comes the trick." Su Tingyu sighed.

Just now I said it was impossible for them to spend this round of dungeons so comfortably, and then something went wrong on the panel.

"Boss, are we going out now?"

Su Tingyu nodded, reached for his card, and put it away.

"Let's go and buy some specialties."

"..."

Qin Qi stood up, as if ready to go out.

"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.

The fat man subconsciously walked over to open the door: "Who is it?"

Su Tingyu, with quick hands and quick eyes, stopped the fat man.

The fat man woke up from a dream and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He looked at Su Tingyu and the two in a daze.

... Just now, why did he feel like he was being pulled when he heard the knock on the door and wanted to open the door directly?

The three people's eyes all fell on the door.

"Knock knock... knock knock..."

The knocks on the door still kept ringing, one after another.

None of the three people made a sound, and the only sound left in their ears was the knocking on the door, as if the whole room was shaking.

Gradually, the knocking on the door became more urgent!

Within a few seconds, it turned into something heavy and hit the door again, making a clanging sound.

Su Tingyu quietly took out the falling stick.

Qin Qi held his hands empty, and the ancient bronze sword suddenly appeared.

The fat man put on his turtle shell silently.

Just when the three of them thought that the door could no longer withstand the blow, the knocking on the door stopped...

…

In a rental house.

"Brother, what is displayed on the panel tells us to get out?" Brother Wandering looked at Brother Moyu nervously.

A hint of impatience flashed in Brother Moyu's eyes: "Why are you panicking? I'm just looking for something."

"But the pattern of this card..."

Brother Moyu looked confident: "As long as I'm here, I guarantee you'll be fine."

Seeing this, Brother Wandering felt a little relieved.

"Knock knock..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The homeless man who was closest to the door of the rental house stared blankly when he heard the knock on the door. He reached out to hold the door handle and said vaguely:

"Who..."

Brother Moyu was sluggish for two seconds, and suddenly he woke up.

When he saw Brother Wanderer, he opened the door and his face changed drastically!

"stop!"

Brother Moyu rushed over in a few steps!

But it's too late!

The door was opened a crack...

boom!

Brother Moyu pressed his hands on the door panel!

"Please wake up!" Brother Moyu roared at this useless brother!

After being yelled at by Brother Moyu, the originally confused Wandering Brother came back to his senses and looked at the former man stupidly: "Brother...Brother...I..."

Bang bang bang! ! !

Seeing that the door that had finally been opened was about to close again, the knocking on the door became more intense!

There were heavy knocks on the door.

"You're still not helping!" Brother Moyu glared at his younger brother.

"Oh!" Brother Wanderer, who had not yet understood the situation, reached out his hand and pressed on the door panel in confusion.

Openable door.

It's not that easy to close.

It seems that there is someone inside, and the noise outside is getting louder and louder!

If you don't break in, you won't stop!

Seeing this, Brother Moyu gritted his teeth and said, "Hold the door first! Use your back to block it!"

Brother Wanderer did as he was told.

Brother Moyu freed up a hand, took out a piece of talisman paper from the inventory, and slapped it directly on the door panel!

In an instant, the entire door panel seemed to be coated with a faint golden light.

With a "bang" sound, the door of the rental house was completely closed!

Before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, the noise outside became even louder!

It's like...like he's chopping down the door with a big axe!

Brother Moyu immediately gave up guarding the door and ran to the window of the back room.

Brother Wanderer followed closely behind.

As soon as he opened the curtains, the sun shone in. Moyu had no time to care about why the sun was there. He took out another tool, destroyed the anti-theft net on the window, and then jumped out.

When renting a rental house, the two deliberately chose the one on the first floor so that they could easily deal with unexpected events.

Just after the two people jumped out of the window and ran away, the door of the rental house was smashed, and the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire, completely losing its effect.

Brother Moyu and Brother Wanderer who escaped did not dare to look at what was blocking the door.

He could only keep running away forward.

"Brother! Brother! What are we going to do now...now?!"

Brother Moyu was upset and could only vaguely say: "Get out of here first!"

The two escaped from this area before stopping and resting on a chair on the roadside.

"Brother, why is there the sun now? Isn't it 0 o'clock?!"

After being temporarily out of danger, the sun outside was unusually bright, and Ye was also discovered by the two of them.

Brother Moyu took out his mobile phone and the Internet...so he checked online.

"This dungeon world... only has dusk and night, only 6 hours a day."

"Ah...that's strange...that's no wonder." Brother Wanderer gasped for air. He looked up at the sun in the west.

When entering the dungeon first... it was also from this angle.

After resting for a while, the two of them stopped staying.

Anyway, it’s all out, so let’s go look for “specialties” to complete the mission.

"Let's go find some specialties."

"Brother, what do you think this third pattern represents?"

"What the hell... we'll find out later..."

"..."

Neither of them mentioned returning to the rental house.

In the rental house...whether it's a person or a ghost, it's best not to encounter it again.
