"More than a dozen disappearances? But they were all suppressed by the Ministry of Public Security? How do you explain this sentence? Don't talk nonsense." Ji Le pointed to his virtual glasses.
Although the Utopia system will not be free enough to monitor everyone's daily conversations, such conversations that are suspected of spreading rumors may still be monitored.
It doesn't matter to Ji Le, he can just take off the virtual glasses, but Lixiang has installed a terminal in her head, so she can't speak nonsense.
"Uh..." Rika scratched her head. "In other words, the disappearance case has not been solved. The Sheriff's Department only conducted a small-scale investigation, and then there was no news at all."
"After that, families of missing persons kept coming here to look for them. Even if they were registered with the Ministry of Public Security, it was completely useless." Li Xiang curled her lips. "It's not that I don't believe in the Ministry of Public Security. Nowadays, information dissemination is so advanced. As long as the brain terminal is used to locate the missing person's location, what disappearance case cannot be solved? So I think this case itself is unusual."
Ji Le nodded secretly. This female student did not come here blindly to find someone. At least she had her own judgment.
"I understand the truth, but I just don't know how to start."
"Have you ever entered the bar to investigate?"
"Hello, here are the two cups of coffee you ordered." At this time, a waiter wearing a black uniform came over with two cups of steaming coffee, interrupting their conversation.
"Okay, thank you." Ji Le took a sip and his eyes lit up.
The coffee at this restaurant is actually one of the rare ones that is ground with real coffee beans instead of blended with synthetic flavors.
The concentration is moderate, the bitterness is quite strong, the taste is well balanced, and it tastes very elegant.
After taking a sip, Ji Le felt a little more energetic.
"Of course I have investigated. I secretly entered the cordon and looked back and forth many times, but found nothing."
"You just went in like that? Didn't you encounter anything?" What surprised Ji Le was that such an ordinary girl didn't find anything unusual when she entered the bar.
According to previous experience, if you enter the place where the incident occurred, wouldn't you immediately enter the box scene?
"I even sneaked into the bar through the window. Nothing special, and I didn't find anyone." Lixiang took a sip of coffee, and the taste that was more bitter than artificial coffee made her frown.
Ji Le held his chin and thought for a moment. This incident was fun.
"Let's go in and investigate together. Please take me in."
"No problem, I'm very happy. Finally someone can hear me properly." Lixiang stood up excitedly. "Let's go now."
Ji Le paid the bill and the two returned to the Black Cat Bar.
"Meow~meow~"
A black cat jumped in front of the two of them and rubbed its head against Ji Le's feet.
"Black cat?" Ji Le bent down and stretched out his hand to touch the black cat's head.
The black cat raised his head and looked at Ji Le.
The golden eyes have a black vertical pupil in the middle, which looks like two gems in the sunlight.
"The reason why this bar is called the Black Cat Bar is because the wild cats nearby always come to the bar to look for food. The owner often puts these cats into the bar and feeds them himself. Later, these wild cats became the residents of this place. Features." Lixiang bent down and touched the black cat's head.
"But after this place was abandoned, these wild cats rarely come here. This is the first time I see a cat coming here." Lixiang smiled. "You seem to be very popular with cats."
"Go in." Ji Le and Li Xiang walked through the blockade and walked into the bar.
"Indeed, nothing happened."
"Do you want something else to happen? This is just an abandoned bar, and it's not connected to the Internet." Li Xiang walked in front, and it was impossible for her to understand the true meaning of Ji Le's words.
Did not enter the box view.
"This way." Li Xiang took Ji Le around in a circle and came to the back of the building. There was a broken window here. You could climb in through the gap.
The interior of the bar is simple. The most basic bar counter and wine cabinet. The high chair in front of the bar is round and looks cute. There were some booths in the corner, already covered with dust. There are drums, guitars, etc. on the central stage. It can be seen that the owner is a very nostalgic person.
If this place was connected to the Internet and all the virtual projections could be displayed, it would definitely be a comfortable place.
Ji Le walked around the inside of the bar. As Li Xiang said, there was nothing special.
"Since there are no abnormal events, why did the system ask me to come?"
"Let's go first, we can't find anything here." Ji Le shouted. "Rika?"
No one answered.
"Li Xiang? Let's leave." Ji Le raised his voice.
But still no one answered.
The bar was such a big place and there was no one else. Ji Le shouted with such a loud voice that he could hear clearly even from a very far distance.
Ji Le suddenly became alert.
He walked around again, checking all areas including the bathroom and employee lounge, but he didn't find Rika.
"Missing?" Ji Le muttered. "Or did she just leave?"
There was silence in the bar, except for Ji Le's breathing.
He made a prompt decision and planned to evacuate first, and walked towards the broken window.
Before he could get there, a strong sense of dizziness hit him. In an instant, this pale abandoned bar was painted with color, and the silence was replaced by noise.
When Ji Le reacted, he was already sitting in a booth in the corner of the bar.
The dim and warm lights flickered, and soft music played slowly. Just as Ji Le thought, once the virtual projection is fully displayed, the environment here will become particularly comfortable.
There were six other people sitting on the booths around him, including Li Xiang who had just disappeared.
At this time, Rika was opening her eyes wide and looking at the young man wearing black clothes sitting next to her.
"elder brother."
The young man in black showed an extremely complicated expression, which sounded like pain and regret: "Why did you come in too?"
"I came to find you."
The young man in black shook his head and sighed. "You shouldn't have come."
[You have entered an out-of-control box scene: a late-night bar.
Danger level: B (the impact is easy to spread!!)]
Ji Le pondered.
The situation we are encountering now is normal, but why didn’t it trigger when they first came in?
And it looked like an ordinary bar. If he hadn't known that it was a box scene, he would have thought that the Black Cat Bar had resumed business.
"Are you two the new unlucky ones?" The sloppy uncle sitting on Ji Le's right held the bottle and burped.
"Two people came in at a time, and they came in faster than before." The young man wearing a peaked cap and earrings spread his hands, with a mocking tone in his tone.
