Pollution throughout the territory

Special Containment Procedures: The hanging rope should be placed in a desolate area with no human habitation within a radius of ten kilometers, in a separate room with a size of 4 meters x 4 meters x 4 meters, and kept vertically in the center of the room with a size of 2 meters x 0.5 meters x In the 0.3-meter rectangular lead coffin, the lead coffin needs to be filled with high-quality ghost water. The lid of the coffin needs to be set with a transparent material and monitored by cameras 24 hours a day.

A total of two C-class personnel and two D-class personnel were dispatched to guard the hanging rope. Caretakers must have a positive outlook on life, without any negativity or depression, and the relationship between them must be friendly and there must be no conflicts. Every three days, psychological evaluations are conducted on all caretakers. Those who fail must be removed from the facility immediately and monitored for a week. Every month, caretakers are replaced and psychological evaluations are conducted.

All experiments with hanging ropes are completely prohibited. Once the target is discovered disappearing from the lead coffin, the facility is immediately locked down and all caretakers are required to undergo repeated psychological evaluations. All caretakers are not allowed to leave the facility until the victim is found, until the hanging rope reappears, or the victim dies.

Description: The hanging rope is a 1.5-meter-long straw rope made of straw, with the top tied into a ring with a diameter of 30 centimeters.

Deep red liquid continuously oozed from the ring of the hanging rope. It was identified that the liquid had the same composition as human blood, but it was impossible to find a matching human individual through DNA comparison.

The hanging rope can defy the principles of physics and appear anywhere at will. It can lead people who have been in negative emotions for a long time or have suicidal thoughts to die. If there is a human being with negative emotions within a radius of five kilometers, then there is a high chance that that human being will be targeted by the hanging rope. It will be on the target Occurs when alone in an environment. The target humans who witness the hanging rope usually cannot resist its guidance and choose to hang themselves in the ring.

When the victim died, his facial expression was peaceful and showed no pain at all. Since no surviving target was found and the hanging rope experiment was too dangerous, the reason cannot be known. 】

The file given by Liu Xiuxiu this time was relatively complete, unlike the last Rootless Water, where data was deleted at every critical point.

It's just that the hanging rope...

Xia Ren subconsciously recalled the night when he first met Zhao Mingyue and saw the bloody straw rope hanging by the bedroom door. Later, in his dream, when he wanted to see clearly what was going on in the study, he was also struck by this Hang it up once with a rope.

Could this be it?

Sure enough, within a few seconds after reading the file, a system prompt appeared in my mind:

[Warning, clues to the contents have been found: hanging rope.

Known information:

"I wake up at the time of human death and lead the suffering ones to sleep.

This is the meaning of my existence, this is the meaning of human need for me. ”]

[Clues found: 4/7 of the escaped contained objects, hanging ropes, please host to take them in as soon as possible. 】

Sure enough, he escaped from home that night.

Moreover, the introduction is similar to that of the Tragedy Doll, both of which have no ability to display.

"so……"

Xia Ren returned the phone to Liu Xiuxiu and asked, "Do you have a new mission?"

Liu Xiuxiu nodded, with a bitter look on her face: "This is even more difficult than last time. At least there was an entity to track last time. Although the introduction this time is much less dangerous, it is completely erratic. The logistics department has just sent I’ve received some news that more than a dozen people have been found dead in Jupiter City due to hanging ropes.”

"so much?"

Xia Ren frowned and said, "Show me."

Liu Xiuxiu clicked on the screen a few times and handed the phone to Xia Ren again.

There were more than a dozen pieces of information about the deceased on it. It was probably obtained by the Logistics Department through police channels. One of them looked familiar. Xia Ren remembered that he had read it in the archives of the police station in the morning. It was one of the pieces that needed Huang Qiuyuan to deal with. Together.

These deceased people all had the same characteristics. All of them had obvious strangulation marks on their necks. The autopsy results showed that they died of suffocation, but there were no signs of struggle. Their faces were peaceful, as if they had fallen asleep.

The information was sorted by the time of death. Xia Ren looked at it one by one and found that in the last three cases, the deceased were all high school students and came from the same school:

Dawn Middle School.

This is the second-ranked key high school in Jupiter City. Xia Ren almost went to school here, so he recognized it at a glance.

The reason Liu Xiuxiu came to him was to ask for his help. She had taken advantage of him so many times. Xia Ren said without hesitation, "I will help you with this mission."

In fact, even without Liu Xiuxiu, Xia Ren still had to take the initiative to find the hanging rope. After all, it was a thousand achievement points, and the most important thing was to get an ancient dream fragment. His last exploration progress was only 70%. , he has already harvested the Eye of Lulim and a Shoggoth. If he explores them all, there may be more rewards. However, the Underworld Candle can only be burned once. If he wants to continue to obtain controllable distortion, he can only obtain it again. A fragment of an ancient dream will do.

And because of the emergence of update followers, he needed to update 10,000 words a day for thirty consecutive days, so being able to find new events to write about was an urgent need for him.

Seeing Xia Ren's willingness to help her, Liu Xiuxiu's face became somewhat relaxed: "Currently, the logistics department cannot lock down the approximate location of the hanging rope. They just informed me first, and I will tell you when there is news in the future." ."

"OK."

Xia Ren was about to close the study door when he suddenly remembered another thing and said, "I need you to help me check the details of another person."

"What is your name?"

Xia Ren often asked him to check things, and Liu Xiuxiu was used to it.

"Huang Qiuyuan."

"What?"

This request surprised him: "Is there something wrong with Huang Qiuyuan?"

"I don't know the details yet. You should check first."

There was still some time before dinner, and Xia Ren wanted to take this opportunity to save more manuscripts, so he returned to the study without talking to Liu Xiuxiu.

Before coding, he specifically searched Liming Middle School, and a bunch of unexpected news popped up.

"Beast teacher! The female student couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping off the building!"

“Ministry of Education Exposed: Teacher Sexually Abused Female Student Suspended!”

Why does it look familiar?

Xia Ren clicked on one of the news and found that the names in it were more familiar, teacher Yang XX and student Zeng XX.

"This media."

Xia Ren looked at the news. He had not felt angry for a long time, and a ball of anger arose in his heart.

He still remembered the girl who insisted on following him home. He remembered that the rice he bought outside at noon that day was very salty, and the girl complained about him after eating it.

One thing that was originally easy to explain clearly, after the media interfered, the result was that Zeng Shuyi jumped off the building in order not to implicate the teacher, and the teacher Yang Guodong was forced to suspend his job. He was reviled by thousands of people, but with the help of Zhu Youqian, he arranged it elsewhere Got a job.

"I didn't expect it to be the school that girl attended..."

Except for Zeng Shuyi's news and the school's introduction, Xia Ren could not find any other reports about the death of students. It was probably suppressed deliberately by the school.

During dinner, Huang Qiuyuan came over on time to eat.

"Today's students are really hard to understand. Is suicide such a fun thing?"

He sighed.

Xia Ren raised his eyes and took over the conversation: "How many are dead?"

Huang Qiuyuan stretched out a hand, "Five, and they are all from the same school."
