Alien paradise

Things are not that complicated.

In the past six months, a mysterious serial killer has appeared in Brilliant Castle, involving as many as six cases, all of which were homicides, with more than ten victims. Every time he committed a crime, the murderer would disembowel the deceased and make the scene bloody. With such a heinous case, the police station was naturally busy and arrested several suspects one after another. However, similar cases never stopped and would reappear every once in a while.

This caused the residents to be frightened and complain, and private rewards were also raised. It was at this time that Court Dane began to track the murder case.

As a result, just three days ago, he suddenly evaporated and disappeared without a trace. The last time Judy met him was in this room.

"He said he found something and needed to confirm it. If the speculation is correct, the murderer will soon commit the next crime!" Judy said eagerly, "Court must have found something to be targeted by the murderer. If that's the case, he might become the sacrifice for the next murder! Please, help me find him!"

While listening to Judy's statement, Chaoyang was also observing the other person - this person was the giver of weak wishes in the newspaper. This could be seen from the white light beam rising from her body. She was obviously willing to pay a considerable amount. The price is paid in exchange for Court Dann's safety.

Judging from the size of the light beam, her willpower is even stronger than that of the guard captain.

Chaoyang guessed that it was probably because the matter was more urgent.

To put it simply, he has earned something.

And this point is very important - if you are penniless, you can still work as a temporary worker and sleep on the overpass. As long as you can move, you will not starve to death, but choosing the wrong person to pray may be fatal to him.

"Have you ever asked the police station for help?" Chaoyang asked after pondering for a moment.

"Of course, but those guys don't care about Court's life or death at all. It's common for a reporter to go out for several days for interviews!" Judy said angrily, "In fact, they don't even care about the murder itself. Otherwise, the perpetrator would not have been able to escape for half a year!"

"But you said before that they arrested many suspects..."

"That's just to silence the people!" Judy said with disdain, "It's said to be a serial murder, but the murders all happened in the Lower City, so the police department won't put too much effort into solving the case. If a noble child goes missing... …”

She pursed her lips and didn't say any more, but even if Chaoyang didn't say it, she knew what she was going to say.

"I see." He paused, and then asked the question that concerned him most, "Why don't you ask...the gods for his whereabouts?"

"What are you talking about?" Judy looked puzzled. "If I had the ability to hire a priest, why would I go to such trouble? Unless there is a way to find the divine envoy... But why are you talking about this?" She seemed to be laughing at herself. Shaking his head as if, "God's envoys are rarer than kings, so you can't just meet them if you want..."

So...she doesn't believe it?

This answer made Chaoyang's heart move slightly - it seems that even if he prays, there are barriers to entry. Since belief and wishing can be separated, does it mean that he will also have the opportunity to pry into the corners of those "great beings" in the future?

And the word divine messenger... doesn't sound like a clerical position, but some kind of special person. Considering that asking further questions might arouse suspicion, he did not continue to express doubts.

"I roughly understand the matter." Chaoyang took out a paper tube from his arms and slowly spread it out on the coffee table, "I can help, but you need to pay some price..."

"How much do you want? The newspaper will definitely give it to you!" Judy said without hesitation.

"It's not just about money." He smiled, "This is a contract. You can read it before making a decision. But please note that once you sign your name, you will never go back on it, and I will definitely fulfill your wish." demands.”

Chaoyang appeared calm and composed on the surface, but he was full of curses on the inside. I don’t know which devil set the rules, which requires that the goal must be achieved in the form of a contract, and the obligations and responsibilities of both parties must not be omitted. This is no different from tying one’s own hands and feet. Fortunately, the contract only requires clear notification. Whether the other party can understand it is another matter. As long as he is not lying, then the contract is legal.

"Uh..." Sure enough, Judy stopped in the middle of reading. She pointed to the payment line, "What does this mean?"

"Oh, this is the word from my hometown." Chaoyang replied in a frank tone, "It's called Yuan Li."

The word is written in Chinese.

"Willing power?" The other party was obviously confused, "What is that? How should I pay for it?"

"In your words, it can also be understood as mental power, or belief." Chaoyang smiled slightly, "Look, you are quite worried about finding him, right, so this matter will also cause mental expenses. Wait for us Once you find Mr. Dann, your worries will turn into smoke, which is equivalent to paying out - so you don't have to care about this, it will not have any real impact on this contract."

In other words, it is the contract itself.

As for the reward of "five hundred thyres" written in the next line, it is just an added bonus.

Judy blinked and then said after a long time, "I didn't expect you to be quite... humorous."

Chaoyang shrugged, noncommittal. He didn't deceive the other person, he just slightly misinterpreted the meaning, and this misinterpretation actually benefited both parties.

Of course, the most important thing is that no one will follow a contract seriously when there is an urgent need.

As expected, Judy didn't pay much attention. She picked up the pen and signed her name.

"I can give you five hundred silver coins, but you must find out the whereabouts of Court Dann!" she said decisively.

"Of course," Chaoyang stretched out his hand towards the other party, "your needs are my mission."

…

On the other side, somewhere on Earth.

In a hall full of screens, Zhang Zhiyuan was participating in an important meeting. As members of Interpol, they have been tracking a prisoner named Wayne James for a long time. This person is suspected of multiple serious crimes such as cross-border smuggling, trafficking of weapons and banned compounds, and has long been targeted by the security agencies of many countries. However, what makes everyone feel troublesome is that Wayne Zhanst still has the status of ambassador. Even if this status is bought with donations, even if he is just the ambassador of a little-known small country in Africa, it is inconvenient to do so without definite evidence. Arrest directly.

"According to recent intelligence, this person boarded the Heart of the Ocean cruise ship and secretly met with many people. His alias was Joe James." The person sitting in the first place to speak was Zhang Zhiyuan's boss and the head of the Asia department, Gao Wei. . "We have also checked the people we met with, and the information you get is their information."

"Russians, Japanese and... Chinese?" Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but paused when he turned to Zhou Zhi's page. I have to say that this combination is quite rare. "I guess he's just a random guy?"

"The Investigation Section did not find many problems with him." Gao Wei nodded, "The key is that they were all involved in a game when they met. This is what we need to focus on."

"Game?" a woman asked curiously, "What kind of game is it?"

Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile. This woman's name is Cui Zhenen. She is from South Korea. One of her hobbies is video games, and her level is quite good.

"I don't know. The email we cracked only mentioned that the game organizer calls itself a paradise, but it did not explain the content of the game at all." Gao Wei shook his head, "It is common to commit crimes using network technology, and we must be highly vigilant about this - —If they treat the game as a place for negotiation, once a secret word agreement is reached, they can contact anywhere in the world next time, and it will be quite difficult to crack.”

"This is not easy to investigate." Zhang Zhiyuan said bluntly, "The cruise ship belongs to the Caribbean Company and is legal and compliant. It is difficult for us to adjust the video. Besides, there may not be such a thing as video in a private box..."

"Unless we can also enter the game and have a look." Cui Zhenen licked her lips.

"Don't even think about it." He disagreed. "You can tell from the first glance that this is a party exclusive to the rich circle. Someone must have checked it out in advance before giving the invitation. Do you think we have the qualifications?"

"Okay," Cui Zhenen shrugged, "Then let's continue to stare at-"

Suddenly, a rapid ringing interrupted everyone's conversation.

Gao Wei picked up the phone and said, "Say."

Then his expression changed, "Are you sure? Okay, then you can take the picture in."

Putting down the phone, the person in charge, who was nearly 50 years old, had an extremely solemn look on his face, "A call came from the Network Intelligence Department, saying that our internal mailbox had just received an email, and the sender was Paradise."
