secret chat room

The people in the chat group fell into silence.

Not long after, Zhuang Xie's cell phone kept ringing message notifications.

All are private chat messages from group members.

Zhuang Xie raised the corner of his mouth and came.

Clay Sculpture: “What do you mean?”

Dahlia: "Brother Gear, are you telling the truth?"

…

The information changed rapidly, and Zhuang Xie's attention was always on one person's profile picture.

finally.

Xingmang: "Are you crazy?"

Xingmang: "Do you know how much impact you will have if you say this??!"

A rush of anger and frustration hit him.

The impact is obvious.

You can tell by looking at the silent chat group and the endless private messages, but Zhuang Xie knew that was not what the other party was talking about.

Gear: "All ears."

The person on the other end was silent for a while, and then a message came back.

Xingmang: "Okay! I want to discuss a cooperation with you."

Gear: "What kind of cooperation? Tell me."

Xingmang: "I know you have guessed something.

Indeed, I am not in the same time period as you, I lied on the group chat, my current time is July 17th."

Gear: "I have determined this a long time ago, what next?"

Zhuang Xie had put on a duck-billed hat at some point and was sitting by the second-floor window of a teahouse. As he uttered these words, he lowered the brim of his hat and glanced sideways at the people not far away with his peripheral vision.

Wu Yuhe was making skewers with his colleague Liang Yongchao. He was holding a bamboo stick in his left hand and a draft beer in his right hand. It was obviously impossible for him to chat with him.

Zhuang Xie gently raised his phone unnoticeably, took a photo at a random angle, and then quickly sent it over. It was very blurry, but he believed the other party would recognize it.

Xingmang: "..."

Xingmang: "You are indeed not simple. You are not the first among you to try to follow me, but you are the first to not be discovered."

Zhuang Xie's move was obviously a deterrent to the other party. You must know that Wu Yuhe is a veteran police officer. Even though he is in the same time and space as Zhuang Xie and knows nothing about the chat group, his anti-tracking level is definitely not low.

Because Wu Yuhe concealed his true timeline and had ulterior motives regarding the death of Zhu Chaoyang in the box lunch, he obviously had an agenda. Zhuang Xie was very concerned about this, so he paid the highest attention to him.

Gear: "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

Xing Mang: "The reason why I concealed my timeline is because I made a big mistake before."

Gear: "Exposed your true identity?"

Xingmang: "Yes, I simply thought that the strange events in the group might cause great instability, so I revealed my identity. But at the time, I really didn't expect that there would be many people in our chat group.

, there will be a very vicious criminal."

When Zhuang Xie saw this, his eyes froze and his finger movements did not slow down.

Gear: "Criminals? Are police afraid of criminals?"

Xingmang: "If it is an ordinary criminal, I have been a veteran policeman for more than ten years. I have seen and arrested criminals no matter how ruthless or violent they are, but this time is different."

Gear: "What's the difference."

Xingmang: "There is no need to lie to me. Since I have chosen to cooperate with you, I will naturally tell you everything.

I believe you also discovered what happened to us after completing the game. After all, as expected, you should be the first one to clear the game."

Zhuang Xie lowered his head and looked at himself. Even under the dim light in the room, he still had some obvious shadows.

Gear: "Yeah."

Xing Mang: "Not long ago, several deaths occurred in my timeline. The causes of death were all extremely strange and there were no traces of homicide. In the end, most of the cases were ended as accidental deaths or suicides.

When I went to investigate, I accidentally discovered that the crime scene had an extremely weird smell, like rotten wood or a strange smell of rotten fish. Except for me, everyone who went with me

I haven’t smelled this smell at all, but the point is, it’s very similar to the smell when I activate my ability!”

Indeed, when Zhuang Xie controlled the monster in his shadow, he would always smell a faint smell of decay.

Gear: "So you suspect that it was someone from our group who did it? That's why you asked us which game we chose when clearing the level?"

Zhuang Xie suddenly remembered that when chatting in a group before, they had discussed how to help Dahlia pass the game, but Dahlia stubbornly said that she would pass the game by herself without the help of others.

When Xing Mang Wu Yuhe asked everyone casually which game they chose, the topic was quickly changed by others and no one paid attention.

Xing Mang: "Yes, through the game, it can be roughly guessed that those who clear the level will obtain related abilities, but it is obvious that everyone has consciously avoided this issue."

It's normal. Zhuang Xie himself hid this part of the information well.

Gear: "Then I'm curious about something."

Zhuang Xie tapped the table with great interest and asked a question.

Gear: "Why did you ask me to cooperate? Can you guarantee that I won't be the vicious superpower criminal you mentioned?"

There was a very long silence on the other side this time. Just when Zhuang Xie thought that the other side would not reply again, a message popped up.

Xingmang: "Because, I know for sure that you are not a criminal."

Gear: "Why?"

Xing Mang: "Because things have changed since you told the truth about the timeline confusion in the group."

Xing Mang: "When a murder occurs, there is only one kind of person who is not suspected."

When Zhuang Xie saw the information, his movements froze. The information that followed confirmed his idea.

Xing Mang: "In my timeline, you are already dead, so you cannot be a suspect who is still committing crimes."

Zhuang Xie stared at the phone in his hand and didn't reply for a long time.

Even with Zhuang Xie's weird temperament, the sudden information caused his emotions to fluctuate.

Me, dead?

Zhuang Xie forced himself to calm down and think, not to be confused. I will not die and I cannot die.

If I die, Najeong will never be able to live again.

Thinking of the word "Na Jung" in his mind, Zhuang Xie's breathing slowly became calmer.

Wu Yuhe, who was opposite him, quietly did not continue to speak at this time, as if giving Zhuang Xie time to digest the information.

a long time.

Gear: "This reason makes sense. Tell me about your cooperation conditions."

Xingmang: "First, help protect me at that time. At that time, I didn't have any ability to protect myself in the face of the weird superpowers given by the chat group. I'm afraid that I have been targeted."

Xingmang: "Second, I now have a preliminary suspicion of the suspect."

Gear: "Who?"

Before the other party could reply, a dialog box suddenly popped up on the phone screen.

"Members of the chat group have achieved achievements! Updates will be started and more features will be available, so stay tuned!"

After pressing the dialog box, Zhuang Xie found that he had exited the chat group on his phone's interface. He quickly clicked on the cartoon penguin icon and re-entered the chat group, but a prompt popped up.

"Software update, please try again later!"

Grass! (A plant.)
