Hyperreal board game

Yizai found out the location of the community, closed the folder, and got ready to get up: "Okay, this is here, let's go."

An Ge reached out in time, pressed his shoulders and pushed him back to his seat: "Wait, let's understand the situation first."

Yi Zai blinked innocently: "The situation is very clear. The millionaire entrusted us to find an illegitimate child. The last place where the illegitimate child appeared was near the ghost town, so why not just go to the ghost town?"

An Ge: "...and then?"

Yi Zai: "Then, search, if you encounter ghosts, hit them, if you can't fight them, run away."

An Ge: "You can't survive the first 10 minutes in the grudge like this."

Yizai: "Don't worry, Brother Clay, when Sadako crawls out, I can burn the TV with her."

An Ge: "That's the midnight bell..."

Yi Zai pondered: "Ah, it seems to be, the heroine in the Grudge... What is the name of the female ghost? Coconut? Cauliflower? It's not quite right. I remember it is a tropical fruit. Could it be durian?"

An Ge covered his face: "Gayako. Forget it, that's not the point. The point is to at least read the information first."

Yizai looked at the materials in his hand a little worriedly: "It's too thick, I don't have so many review materials for the final exam."

An Ge ignored him, and read the materials at a glance, at least to grasp the overall situation first, and know what he knew.

The town of Fontainebleau has complete facilities, an elegant environment, and a green area of ​​90%. Each building has no more than ten floors, and each floor has only one or two households. There are only 180 suites in total.

The landscaping of the community entrusts a world-class landscape architect to be responsible for the whole process, and finally the whole environment is as beautiful as a natural park.

Although the price was expensive, it was still very popular when it opened.Because the location is close to Linchuan No. [-] Software Park, known as "Linchuan Silicon Valley", most of the owners are engaged in the IT industry.

In the rising period of the new industry in the past few years, code farmers got the best opportunities. In the first software park, programmers with a monthly salary of tens of thousands abound.If the business ability is excellent, the salary will be raised year by year, and many people will even reach an annual salary of one million, becoming an urban upstart.Programmer has become a dream career that seems to lead to the road to financial freedom.

Therefore, even an apartment house with an average price of 800 million yuan in the town of Fontainebleau, which is positioned as a "middle-class high-quality lifestyle", has been snapped up by a group of code farmers.

Of course, with the bursting of the Internet bubble in the past two years and a large number of layoffs in the IT industry, the limelight of the technology upstarts has become a thing of the past.

According to the game settings, they are now on May 2032, 5, but the level of technology is similar to the current reality, and it can be considered completely based on the level of reality.

Of course, this so-called "Linchuan City" cannot be found on the real map, it is a completely empty virtual world.

An Ge turned back and saw a printout of a news report.

On November 2030, 11, the residents on the first floor of Building 7 in Fontainebleau caught fire. Due to various fire-fighting deficiencies that do not need to be described here, the entire building caught fire, resulting in an astonishing tragedy.

Because the fire broke out at [-] o'clock in the morning, most people were asleep, which caused the most serious consequences—except for the few residents who did not come back because of overtime work, business trips, or living in school, traveling, etc. In addition, no one was able to escape.

In the end, the firefighters found a total of 73 corpses from the burned-out building, most of which were charred. The scene was horrifying like hell. Even the veteran firefighters who had been working at the fire site for a long time couldn’t stand the stimulation. question.

Subsequent operations such as the survivors suing the construction group and the property have nothing to do with this commission.

The point is that on the seventh day after the fire, which is commonly known as the first seven days, some nearby residents claimed to have seen their neighbors who should have died in the fire.

It is said that in the evening, an old lady surnamed Liu who lives in Building [-] ran into a sister who was dancing in the square together when she was taking a walk after dinner. She didn't realize it for a while, and greeted the old sister: "Isn't it cold to wear so little? This is Where are you going?"

And another old lady replied coldly: "It's too hot, go home."

Seeing that the old sister didn't pay much attention to her, Mrs. Liu was still muttering to herself: Why is this attitude? I didn't offend her.Then I thought: No, why is she only wearing thermal underwear, and it's still dirty, as if she hasn't worn shoes yet?It's almost winter, the climate in the north is cold, where is the heat?

Looking back at the direction of the old sister's home, the black ruins separated by the temporary board wall came into view.

The old lady Liu who reacted covered her chest and screamed: "Ghost...Ghost!!"

It didn't work at that time, but fortunately, it was sent to the hospital in time for emergency treatment.

Yizai probably saw this too, and lightly thumped the table to hold back his laughter.

Someone laughed unscrupulously, "The person who wrote the report is a talented person, and the supernatural events are written like funny jokes."

The game designer probably wouldn't be happy if he found out... After all, this is a horror game that aims to scare people.

There are more than a dozen similar eyewitness reports of the "First Seven Nights of the Soul", whether true or not, and one of them wrote an article with a high click-through rate after counting it with great interest.

Since then, haunted rumors have occurred from time to time.Why did I go back to work overtime at night and meet my dead colleague to discuss today’s bugs with me; why did my child go to a kindergarten whose mother was crying outside the window in the middle of the night, saying that it’s okay if her husband cheated, but she still hasn’t snatched Yuebuck’s cat’s claw cup; what? The old lady complained that her daughter-in-law was not filial to her son and was partial to her...

When An Ge was about to flip through these detailed descriptions, Yi Zai suddenly came over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Clay, which one is more important, the cat's claw cup or me?"

An Ge didn't change his face: "You." In fact, he is a dog, and he has no feelings for cats or pink.

But Yizai went back with a smile on his face and continued to look through the materials.

An Ge didn't understand what the boy thought about the relationship between the two of them, but he really couldn't ask, so he simply kept the status quo and continued to look through the information.

The reason why this incident is recorded in the data is because the town of Fontainebleau is a project of Zheng Fuhao's group.

Due to the rumors, the able-bodied residents of the five buildings moved out one after another, and the housing prices plummeted due to various influences including the rumors. The construction plan of the second phase of Dan Bailu was also blocked.

It was at this time that Wang Baolin was appointed by Zheng Rongtian as the project director, responsible for saving the Fontainebleau project.Zheng Fuhao obviously hoped that his illegitimate son could use this to build up his prestige and lay the foundation for inheriting the family business in the future.

Of course, he definitely wouldn't expect an idle man in his early thirties to suddenly have the business talent to turn the tide, so he sent several other managers of the group's backbone to assist him.

To put it bluntly, the Zhuge military division led the generals of the Shu Kingdom to fight against the country, and Wang Adou (actually it should be Zheng Adou) only needs to put on a show.

However, Wang Adou... No, Wang Baolin showed an unusual enthusiasm for his work. Perhaps he was suddenly enlightened and wanted to prove himself. Instead of being a shopkeeper, he often visited Fontainebleau in person. He was not afraid of rumors and ghosts, and approached many times. five buildings.

Someone asked for the surveillance video of the day, and the staff took it and played it on the LCD wall.

After the five buildings burned down, the monitoring system was not rebuilt, so the camera closest to the five buildings was also next to the garden path a hundred meters away.They could only see Wang Baolin appearing in the camera in a black shirt and black suit, walking along the winding gravel path to the fifth building.

When he walked out of the camera, there was no camera to capture his figure again.

An Ge looked at Wang Baolin's back, and suddenly asked, "Is there any other information that captures his front view?"

The staff nodded, and re-screened a video. Wang Baolin was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, removed his sloppy expression, and looked serious, looking a bit talented.

What is rare is that he is still holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand, which should be intended to pay homage to the deceased. It can be seen that he is meticulous and considerate, which is impressive.

But An Ge didn't know what he was thinking, and asked the staff to pause the playback, staring at Wang Baolin's frontal photo and meditating, "Can you enlarge the bouquet of flowers?"

The staff then proceeded to operate as required.

The other players noticed An Ge's behavior and began to shift their focus to the screen.

When the bouquet was enlarged on the screen, a man spoke first: "It's strange, he doesn't bring white chrysanthemums to pay homage to the dead, this one looks like... a rose, right?"

A girl corrected: "It's a peony, a white peony."

The second girl said: "The screen has a color difference, it doesn't look like white, it's probably champagne."

So here comes the question.

Did Wang Baolin buy a bouquet of flowers randomly without knowing the rules, or did he have some other definite intention that has not been discovered so far?

The detectives talked a lot, and Yi Zai rubbed his chin to think: "Most of my words will choose the flowers I like. The same white chrysanthemums are so boring."

An Ge asked casually, "Oh? What kind of flowers do you like?"

Yi Zai: "Sunflower, where's Brother Clay?"

An Ge silently wrote down, "I don't know... I haven't thought about this question, and I haven't studied flowers. However, I don't think Wang Baolin bought flowers casually first. You can see that he is very solemnly dressed, just for a funeral." , black clothes, black pants, black shoes, and even a black tie. He usually prefers bright colors in his clothes, so this outfit is for paying homage to the dead. Since he dresses so seriously, it’s impossible to be fooled when choosing a bouquet .”

As for choosing what you like, or for other reasons...

An Ge was thinking about it, and Yi Zai said, "It doesn't look like he's putting so much emphasis on it... Or else he would go to the memorial ceremony alone without bringing anyone with him. I think... Could it be Is there someone he knew among the dead in the five buildings?"

The divine beast of intuition once again showed its power. As soon as Yizi said this, the detectives present either suddenly realized, or as expected, or poker-faced expressions, turned their heads to look at him.

Yi Zai, who was saluted by everyone, habitually showed a charming smile of a social expert, and nodded reservedly, looking extraordinarily personable and charming.
