Although most people in Vice City have criminal records, because no matter what kind of criminals come here, there are still many people who commit serious crimes other than murder, and there are also many political prisoners and economic prisoners. Compared with those extremely vicious guys, these criminals are also afraid that their lives will be threatened here, so there are also some people who are specially responsible for dealing with serial killers who kill people indiscriminately.
One of the more straightforward methods is to compile the intelligence information of all these killers and put them into a wanted list online.
This wanted order did not come from the law enforcement department. It was at most the product of underground gangs fighting each other. However, it still had good credibility. At least the gang knew that those who could kill serial murderers were not easy to mess with, so they had to fulfill their deals. And still have a good night's sleep.
Lu Ning found this wanted website directly from her search for White Butterfly Killer.
Bounty ranking 132nd.
[The White Butterfly Killer first committed a crime three years ago. The longest period of committing a crime was three months and the shortest was seven days. All targets youth and children under the age of sixteen, both men and women. He was named because he would use tattoo tools and plaster to tattoo complex white butterfly patterns on the victim's chest or back after committing a crime. There were no signs of violence on the victims, few violent wounds, and the causes of death were mostly internal visceral rupture or cerebral hemorrhage. The killer must target multiple targets every time he commits a crime. The targets do not have many common characteristics and no interpersonal relationships. The killer's name, age, gender and other data are unknown. 】
If you click on it, you can also see that the on-site photos and simple inspection results of each discovery are attached in detail according to time. The energy behind the website is also quite powerful and the information is complete.
It's just that this killer's targets are all young people, and he has shown no interest in adults so far. Those who are offering bounties are not particularly enthusiastic about it, and the bounties are very low.
In addition, the above rankings all have the same scumbag behavior. These serial killers do not always reside in Sin City. Many of them like to kill a few people outside and then come back to take shelter, staying there for a while before running out. Except for a small number of people who were captured and whose images were left behind, most of them had no photos. At most, they were sketches and written descriptions based on eyewitness testimony.
There are currently a total of 145 recorded killers. Lu Ning estimates that any one of them is enough for her to complete mission two, and she is not particularly afraid of the other party, even if it is a serial killer.
When it comes to killing people, she doesn't think her speed can be inferior to anyone's.
But as she continued reading, Lu Ning immediately noticed a problem.
Let’s not mention those at the end of the list, but according to the description of the cases, it is impossible not to leave any images or sounds, and not even a few witnesses can be found. The eyewitness testimonies of several people were simply confusing. The testimonies of multiple eyewitnesses were contradictory and it was impossible to tell who was lying.
This made her slightly more vigilant.
[There will be more or less supernatural power in all scenes. 】
This is a recognized ironclad rule. Although this kind of supernatural power may not necessarily be available to tourists, the entire scene certainly has such power.
Since there is a supernatural background, there must be some inside story behind such an urban existence. Although Lu Ning is not prepared to investigate this too much, she can basically determine who is bound to control the "Heaven Council" as the last optional task. Some supernatural abilities.
In this way, the division of task difficulty becomes clear at a glance.
She quickly looked up the time for the "Sabbath" and found that it was April 15th, Saturday, which was also the day before the mission allowed freedom to return.
Among the first three tasks, evading death and killing a serial murderer will not involve supernatural powers. The last one, visiting the club, may attract the attention of some people with supernatural powers and is classified as a mandatory task. One item is also reasonable.
The three options available all involve superpower events, so they are more difficult.
"If this is the case, then this mission is likely to be similar to the one at the Villa... Is it a segmented mission? In this case, it is worth a gamble..." Lu Ning pondered for a while, and kept opening her hands. Check the introduction above for each wanted poster.
I looked around and found no killer who shot himself in the head with a pistol and pretended to commit suicide. There were no similar cases at the scene. The father with this identity was not classified on the list of serial killers.
First crime? Not likely.
The clues have been left in Sin City. Lu Ning also checked the information given to him by the distribution center. Not to mention the method of committing the crime, at least the traces were handled quite cleanly. It was not the first time that the murderer committed this kind of crime. Although team action is possible, the difficulty of investigation will be greatly increased. Moreover, revenge is not listed among the tasks that need to be completed, indicating that the difficulty is too high or too low.
Does that mean there may be more serial killers than what is shown above? Or are there some who are not recognized as serial killers by the distribution center?
Lu Ning integrated all the information she currently held in her mind, and then followed Cheng Wulin's thinking method to change her thinking.
"Put yourself in the position of God, build a world that is logical to you, and then fill in the 'spoiler' elements of the mission into the key elements of the entire background, supplement the characters and events, and generate necessary connections. Then change your position to the task publisher, obtain a 'reasonable and moderate' task standard, and use the average level of the people you see as a reference to find the conditions that should be designed for various difficulty levels of the task."
Cheng Wuling is not secretive about these things, but it is extremely difficult to imitate them.
Now Lu Ning is just borrowing it for use, but he can add some aspects that he couldn't think of.
For example, she is relatively weak in analyzing interpersonal relationships.
Sending tourists into the distribution center is not something everyone can do independently, but forcing tourists to contact each other through tasks is a very low-level approach. More often, it is to create "coincidences", that is, to give each tourist " Opportunity".
"My identity is a high school student, which means that there are one or two tourists in the social circle that I can normally come into contact with, and then continue to contact through them - so, there must be people I can meet in the two places of banks and schools. The tourists I met. The bank... was hacked. There should be someone in the teaching team at the school, and the original teacher of our class may also be..."
Lu Ning opened the school's homepage and found the teacher information for her class.
"Chinese, mathematics, English...huh?"
The picture of the English teacher was of a young and handsome man with a literati temperament, who looked elegant and easy-going, but what caught Lu Ning's attention was the teacher's name.
[English teacher, Cheng Yurun]
"I thought I had to go find out in person..." Lu Ning leaned on the chair and exhaled softly.
——"Our family is named after the family. My generation comes from rain and water."
That was probably the only time Cheng Wuling mentioned his family, so Lu Ning remembered it.
Although the name may be a coincidence, this man's eyes are very similar to Cheng Wuling's. It is the kind of disguise that has been formed through long-term training, although one side is cold and the other is gentle.
"The world is such a small place."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a young voice sounded outside the door: "Hello, your express delivery."
Lu Ning stood up and came to the door. Looking out from the peephole, I could just see a young man wearing eye-catching courier clothes holding a large box - the things I bought from the electronics store yesterday were only delivered today, and they were still delivered by courier.
She opened the door, and the courier put the box in the room with a tired smile, then took out the courier slip and asked Lu Ning to sign it.
"Sister, this thing of yours is really heavy."
"When you're shopping, you'll inevitably buy a lot. Thank you for your hard work."
The two of them exchanged polite greetings, but their hands made different movements at the same time. Lu Ning's left hand, which was pretending to reach out to take the pen, suddenly withdrew, and her right hand clenched a fist and hit the courier's chest; and a man fell from the courier's sleeve. The small electric shock rod failed to reach Lu Ning's wrist.
"Eh?" The courier was stunned for a moment and looked up at Lu Ning's still smiling face.
"The weather is nice today. You can kill yourself when you go out."
The sword cart popped out quickly with the hook of his fingers, and pierced the courier's chest like a sharp claw. Then Lu Ning quickly closed his fist, and four pillars of blood spurted out from his chest. There was no doubt that it was a serious injury to the heart.
"You..." The courier fell down with his eyes open.
The carton was moved back to the room by Lu Ning. As for the body, it was cleaned when it was thrown in the corridor. The courier probably didn't expect that Lu Ning would pay attention to the pedestrians and vehicles passing by the window when she was sitting in front of the window. The person getting off the car and the person at the door were of different heights and skin colors. How could she not be suspicious?
Of course, everything in the victim's pocket fell into Lu Ning's hands.
The number of "avoiding death" in the mission instructions has not changed. It seems that this is not a death crisis, or the crisis has not been resolved.
After opening the courier's cell phone, there were many people in the address book, but many of the recent calls were just phone numbers. Lu Ning easily changed the fingerprint password, then selected the most recent call record and called it.
"Hello? You got the goods so quickly?"
Lu Ning gave a vague "hmm" and opened the window, letting in the noise on the street.
"Are you stupid? Carrying a girl on your back and walking around the streets? Find a secluded place to send her here quickly. The operating table is all set up here!"
Probably got it.
Lu Ning hung up the phone and looked through the text message records. It was probably because the phone had a fingerprint lock. This person still kept notes on several tasks he was working on.
Riverview Road Clinic in District 10.
Soon, Lu Ning screened out the more likely places from several locations. However, today was not a suitable day for justice, and she was not in the mood to find trouble with a group of organ smuggling-more important things needed to be done today. Finish.
move place.
Although this apartment is relatively close to the city center, the management is not very strict, and the address is easy to find out. Things like today are definitely not an exception, but there are not many high school students like her in Sin City who have no relatives to support them. .
Yes, high school student... Lu Ning's height was reduced by two centimeters because of this.
Fortunately, the receptionist of the real estate company did not look at people's orders. Even if he walked in like this, he still received warm hospitality. Especially after confirming that Lu Ning was indeed here to spend money, the other party's attitude reached its peak.
I spent the bankbook to only a fraction and bought one of the three villas I saw yesterday. Lu Ning got in the car directly and headed to the villa area. On the way, she contacted the taxi company to book a morning and evening pick-up and drop-off service from the villa area to the school for a month. She just ran out of money, so she broke off the card and threw it into the trash can.
Since the bank can be hacked, there is no need for funds to go from here. The rewards provided on HELLSPEED are enough to cover her expenses during this period, and she can withdraw cash through any bank or ATM, so there is no need to worry about money.
No one can learn too much about this identity before him.
Entering the community, the security guards still remembered this young girl. This time Lu Ning had already got the key. The real estate company would send it to them after the formalities. As for the decoration, the basic decoration had already been completed. , Lu Ning doesn’t really want to live here for the rest of her life.
This person's original luggage was not very much. Two suitcases and one backpack were all packed in. It was just that furniture such as tables, chairs and bed cabinets had not been added yet.
She was busy until night, installing the fixed monitors she bought in a hidden area outside the villa, leaving a few in the open, and then installed the monitoring system on the computer. This Sunday passed like this.
"Dealing with one remaining mission... non-fatal serious injuries, hope I'm not too rusty yet."
Lu Ning pulled out some thick clothes and made a bed on the ground, then opened the door and left her villa.
The "target" who lives here is a company project specialist. He is extremely busy but his salary is high. It was rare to go home early like yesterday, and it is normal to come back late at night. After entering the community, the walls of the villa were not very tall. Lu Ning looked around and saw no surveillance cameras, so she went straight into the other party's house.
The garage door is still open, there are lights in the villa, a female figure shines in front of the window, and a glass of wine is placed on the table.
Soon after, the sound of a car was heard outside. The woman stood up and looked out the window, only to find that it was not the silver-white car, so she sat back in despair. After repeating this two or three times, the car finally appeared in sight.
The woman hurriedly walked downstairs and disappeared from the window.
Just as the silver-white car drove into the garage and the owner turned off the car and walked out, intending to come out to meet his wife, a dark figure that had been hiding in the darkness for a long time swooped out and swung a wrench and hit him hard on the head.
The man fell down without even making a sound, and at this time, the woman walked to the door.
"ah……"
"You'd better keep quiet."
A hoarse voice, deliberately lowered, came from the garage.
"That's what you expected anyway, right?"
"You, you are... from that website..."
"I think it makes more sense to do this in front of my employer. Besides, I don't want to be seen. If you walk in, this intentional injury will probably become two murders."
"Yes, yes...what should I...now..."
"Don't worry, take out your mobile phone, and I will tell you the time to call the doctor. But since you have already encountered it, you might as well make things more satisfactory to you. Do you plan to let your husband lie in the hospital for a few days? moon?"
"Two, no, three months! Is three months okay?"
The woman was actually a little excited.
"Okay, don't forget the reward..."
In the darkness, there was the sound of sharp weapons cutting flesh.
"Hide here out of sight and make a phone call."
The woman responded and ran away. Only then did Lu Ning stand up and use a wrench to break the man's legs. The severe pain immediately made the man wake up and let out a scream. Lu Ning pulled out the tape from the side and pressed the man's head to cover his eyes.
Then, she left the villa without saying a word.
