Time passed quickly, and when it arrived at six o'clock in the evening, the outside world was still pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.
The lights in the originally bright hall were quickly turned off.
At the moment when the lights were turned off, dark figures continued to appear on the ground.
The figures quickly transformed into various humanoid shapes in uniforms, including police, judges, forensic doctors, family members of entrepreneurs, family members of prisoners, little girls, etc.
They just sat quietly at the scene with red eyes and said nothing, which was extremely weird.
Inside the lawyer's office.
The area is small, with dim, warm lights, and two rows of bookshelves on both sides of the door.
At the desk.
Conan was looking at the books in this world boredly by the bookshelf.
"It turns out that this is 2023. In a sense, I seem to have traveled to the Xia Kingdom in the future."
"Xia Guo has become the world's largest economic system, and its GDP has increased dozens of times compared to my Xia Guo during Neon in 1996."
Inadvertently, Conan spoke Japanese.
Xia Guo's live broadcast room suddenly flooded with a large number of neon people.
"This kid is from our Neon people, why did he end up in Xia Guo's live broadcast room?"
"Pan Guo's thief, he is Pan Guo's thief. He helps the Xia people but also doesn't help our Neon. I suggest he be burned to death!"
"Why are you so excited? This is just a character summoned by the mysterious talent awakened by Jiang Zhe in our country. Look at how anxious you are."
"It's not fair. Why should he fight in pairs while others fight alone?"
"So what if it's unfair? Is there any fairness in the world of rules? Who made your players not so lucky?"
"..."
While the audience bickered.
There was a knock on the door of the lawyer's office.
Jiang Zhe raised his head and said, "As expected, the police were the first to come in."
The most significant difference between 9-star ghost stories and low-star ghost stories is——
There are no doors that are open or closed, and there is no such thing as being killed by looking into someone's eyes.
Even if the players stay in the office and do nothing, they can still survive, but under the pressure of the rules, no one will choose to stay still.
"Please come in!"
The door was pushed open, and a pale blue uniformed policeman walked in.
He had a black electromagnetic gun tied to his waistband and sat on the consultation seat.
Conan on the side was frightened by the bloodless policeman, his pupils widened, and his brain shut down instantly. The policeman suddenly walked in front of him like a corpse that had been frozen for a year.
"Lawyer, how is the collection going?"
Rule two, don’t trust anyone, don’t answer anyone!
But Jiang Zhe is a speed player and doesn't care about these so-called confusing rules at all.
Of course Jiang Zhe will not say that he did nothing, nor will he refuse to answer. If he does, he will be contaminated and swallowed to death by the police on the spot. "The evidence is still being collected. It will be completed on the execution day in seven days. You Let’s go.”
Hearing this, the pale-faced policeman tilted his head and revealed a gleam of red eyes, examining Jiang Zhe.
"Saga, did you answer the question wrong?" Conan on the side noticed something was wrong and his heart trembled.
It might be fine when facing ordinary prisoners, but when faced with the strange, he lost the courage to ask questions as a detective.
This scene made the Xia Kingdom audience extremely nervous.
"The last time Zhang Qiang answered, 'We haven't started collecting yet,' he was instantly killed by the police."
"No, this policeman is so weird that he wants to kill Jiang Zhe."
"Please, don't let this weird 48 hours happen!"
But what the audience didn't expect was that the police just asked a question and turned around and left after finding nothing unusual.
"Fuck, what's going on?"
"..."
The Xia State expert team also saw this scene.
After previously investigating Jiang Zhe's identity as a homeless man in Sioux City, they originally had no hope.
Behind their backs, they are preparing to demobilize people in specific areas.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhe was not killed by the police in the fourth hour of his life. Instead, he answered correctly!
Some experts asked in surprise: "What do you think?"
The second expert responded: "I guess the answers are different. Zhang Qiang said earlier that 'it hasn't started yet', while Jiang Zhe said 'it is under investigation and the execution will be completed in seven days.' There is a huge difference between the two answers." Depending on the place, Jiang Zhe’s answer may be the standard answer.”
The third expert raised his hand and agreed: "Hurry up and record it, this homeless man is very lucky."
...
At this time, Australia's chosen one Jessica.
She was sitting in the lawyer's office, thinking about how to act.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and she was so frightened that her face suddenly turned pale, but she did not dare to delay the strangeness on the other side.
So he said fearfully: "Come in!"
The pale-faced policeman sat at the consultation desk, stared at Jessica and asked: "Lawyer, how is the collection going?"
Jessica swallowed, she just realized rule two and couldn't answer, but what if it was the wrong rule?
How can there be no conversation within a rules copy?
So she answered the question calmly: "I've just arrived and I'm still getting used to it. I'll start investigating soon."
As he finished speaking, the policeman opposite immediately turned red-eyed and had a strange smile on his face.
Finally, the upper jaw and lower jaw split, and a flesh-colored tentacle like a petal grew out of it, and Jessica was eaten into her stomach in an instant.
"ah--"
With a scream, the live broadcast room of Australia's Chosen One immediately went black.
[Australia’s Chosen One: Jessica, failed to clear the level, survived for 4 hours, and the weirdness came to Melbourne for 48 hours later! 】
"Mom, I'm in Melbourne!"
"Why didn't she answer Xia Guo Jiang Zhe's answer? You said you're still getting used to it?"
"Get used to your mother, you're going to have an encounter with us in Melbourne. We have to run away and run away to a beautiful country!"
"..."
When the first visitor arrived, 20 of the 200 live broadcast screens across the country instantly went dark.
In the last 9-star difficulty dungeon, only a few chosen ones lasted for 5 hours.
Most of them stopped at the first stage, and now there are 180 left, which is an excellent result.
It’s just that the next visit is weird and will probably kill most of the players.
.......
Beautiful country live broadcast room.
John Smith is a lawyer + doctor + police detective + designer + IT worker.
His duty as a lawyer tells him that he must always inform his clients of the actual situation and cannot lie, let alone refuse to answer!
The policeman asked with a pale face: "Lawyer, how is the collection going?"
John Smith replied calmly: "I cannot disclose the specific matters. I can guarantee that the execution can be carried out in seven days."
After hearing the satisfactory answer, the policeman curved his lips and said, "You'd better act faster, because I can't wait for seven days, and I might be harmed by someone with ulterior motives within seven days!"
"Huh? The policeman will also be killed by Weird. Who will it be killed by?"
Inadvertently, he caught a key word, and just when John was about to ask a question, the policeman suddenly looked back, his eyes glowed red, and the corners of his mouth pulled into a strange diagonal line, like needlework.
Seeing this scene, John's heart trembled and he stopped talking.
So far, the danger has not occurred.
"It's so dangerous, so dangerous!"
"That's so strong. As expected of Mr. John, he actually got words out of the police!"
"It turns out police officers can be killed if they are weird!"
"John easily did what other Johns couldn't do. He is indeed John!"
"Isn't this just an unintentional trick? Is it worth such an exaggeration? It's embarrassing to say that he is one of the top ten detectives in the United States, but he doesn't have the answer standard for our homeless man Jiang Zhe!" a certain Xiaguo audience complained.
After watching the police leave mysteriously, John Smith was ready to take action.
He was going to set out to find the little girl, risking his body ten times stronger.
The moment he held the doorknob, his heart beat again, and his sixth sense told him that he couldn't act yet because he would die!
...
Inside the lawyer's office.
Conan looked at the closed door, raised his head and glanced at the clock. At 6:30 in the evening, he turned to look at Jiang Zhe: "Aren't we going to take action now?"
Jiang Zhe glanced at him helplessly, "It's best to reduce the number of actions at night. Even if the physical body is ten times stronger and we have fewer people, we can't defeat the hordes of weirdos wandering outside. The rules tell you that the physical body is ten times stronger. You must believe it. ? There will always be other rules that will mislead us to death!"
Catching the key words, Conan narrowed his eyes and said with an interrogating tone, "From your tone, I heard an idiom of your Xia Kingdom's guaranteed victory'. How did you know you couldn't go out? Why were you so sure? You are cautious during the day, but extremely confident at night. Your behavior is a little different between day and night. You don't seem to regard me as a teammate."
As a detective, he has a strong sense of observation.
This question also asked what Xia Guo’s audience and experts were thinking.
Why is Jiang Zhe so sure?
And if you stay in a false safe house, won't you be invaded by something strange?
But just now, many of the chosen ones were killed by the police in mysterious ways even though they were staying in the safe house. This is enough to prove that the rules of the safe house are wrong - it is not safe!
"My memory is confused during the day. It's common for my memories to vary within a few minutes, and I don't remember the wrong things I said."
"During the day, you'd better not trust me completely, no matter what I say against you, because I might not be myself."
Jiang Zhe showed a calculating smile and winked at Conan, "But you can completely trust me at night. I am the real me at night."
"The next order of appearance must be the judge, the forensic doctor, the entrepreneur's family, and finally the prisoner's family and the little girl."
"The breakthrough point must be the prisoner's family and the little girl!"
"If we are not in the office in the next few hours, we will be killed by visitors."
"My good teammate, do you trust me now?"
Seeing Jiang Zhe so confident and charming, Conan suddenly felt a sense of security in his heart.
This time he heard honesty and honesty in Jiang Zhe.
Listening to these words, it felt like he was back with his parents.
His father is a famous mystery novelist who is not around all year round, so his sense of security is still weak. He is also facing the enemy's black organization and has been living a life of hiding in Tibet. He is fed up with hiding at sister Xiaolan's house!
But now I found it in a big brother of Xia Kingdom.
"What am I thinking, Kudo, you are a straight man!"
Conan shook his head vigorously and abandoned these pleasant philosophical thoughts.
At the next moment, there was another strong knock on the door: "Dong, dong, dong!"
Jiang Zhe pointed at the door and yelled angrily: "Judge, get lost, how many times have I told you, I don't like to do multiple-choice questions!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
What kind of unnatural operation is this?
Dare you point fingers at the weird?
