When Kaoru finished making the cup of spiked coffee, the lizard's level ended and she returned to the bar.
The lizard in black drank up the cup of "indulgence" and left Xun with a cup of "revenge".
"Revenge" was dark, Xun looked at the glass of wine, feeling uneasy.
If her boyfriend is the one who drugged her sister, how blind was she before? And recalling Li Xiang, she didn't see anything wrong with Li Xiang in normal times. Was she already drugged by her brother at that time?
No, this is just a game...
However, she recalled that the two brothers and sisters usually gave people a very ambiguous feeling. Although the ambiguity at that time was interpreted by her as a normal brother-sister relationship, now once the seeds of evil were planted, they continued to grow, forcing her to think about the darker side.
Xun handed "Revenge" to the crab.
The crab held the cup between its two pincers and poured the wine into its mouth.
Xun found that the prompt text on the crab changed to: Drunk Crab.
Other animals do not change like this after drinking alcohol, but only crabs become drunk crabs. Is there any profound meaning in this?
The scene changed, and Kaoru came to the crab level.
A virtual presentation screen, a simple metal podium, neat tables and chairs, and virtual projections of portraits of great people on the wall. This place is very familiar to Xun, it is her school.
And where she was sitting was exactly where her friend Rika often sat.
Even the scratches on the table were exactly the same, and Xun was sure that the crab was Rika.
Why does playing a game involve Lixiang? Is the creator of the game Rika’s friend? Is that why you used real-life scenes and characters as materials?
Xun is still unwilling to admit that the stories in the game are true. She prefers to believe that these are just fabricated stories in the game.
Because once she admits that these are true, it means that the utopian system does not manage the world into a beautiful world as stated, just like the well-dressed snake can still act in a superior manner after framing his colleagues. alive.
Miserable people cannot be saved and die in unknown corners, and the news will not broadcast them.
A prompt appears on the task: follow the instructions on the notebook.
Xun found Lixiang's notebook in the schoolbag near her seat. After opening it, it read:
"Xun who got involved with my brother is unforgivable. She is no longer my friend. I will kick her out of school and ruin her reputation. My brother betrayed me. It is unforgivable. I will make him regret what he did. Wrong thing.”
Xun seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
If Rika's brother deliberately drugged Rika and harmed Rika, this would be an eye-opener for Kaoru. So now, Rika, as a victim, actually regards herself as her brother's girlfriend, which makes Xun's outlook shattered.
They are brothers and sisters!
And all this happened without his knowledge.
So later, Li Xiang suddenly turned against her and used various means to make her have a hard time at school and spread bad rumors about her, all in order to retaliate against her, just because she was Li Xiang's brother's officially recognized girlfriend.
In the eyes of sister Rika, this behavior is betrayal.
Xun finally understood why he was the one being targeted.
This family is not normal! Neither brother nor sister is normal!
Xun didn't want to play anymore. She knew with her toes what her character Rika would do next.
Li Xiang would constantly cause trouble for herself, spread all kinds of ugly rumors about her, and would also find other classmates to join forces to block her and beat her collectively.
The beginning of all this humiliation stems from this mission.
The instructions for this mission have been given on the notebook: spread Xun's privacy.
Xun covered his head and fell into that memory. Rika put all her private information on the public network at that time, causing countless people to contact her and abuse her.
She had to let herself fall asleep every day, and the terminal in her brain kept receiving new messages. Even if she blocked the reminder, the rapidly growing number made her extremely anxious.
"I don't want to continue playing." Xun fell into anxiety.
But there is no button for her to exit the game. To leave, she must either clear the level or faint directly.
After treatment at the diagnosis and treatment center, Xun has strengthened his mental endurance and will not faint easily, and he will not be so sensitive to the experience of being bullied.
This resulted in Xun being unable to leave the game by fainting, so she had to force herself through the level.
Xun gritted his teeth and followed the game mission prompts to spread his personal information on the public platform.
There's nothing to be afraid of, it's all in the past, and I also know the reason why Rika did this, right?
Xun completed the task and she was sweating profusely.
After returning to the bar, she kept gasping for breath. When she was in the treatment center, the treatments were to guide her to forget these tragic experiences and let her gradually accept that she had a psychological defect, so she was affected by these external objects.
Emotionless elites will not be distracted by these disturbing things. No matter what happens in the outside world, they will only focus on the research at hand.
Therefore, Xun is imperfect and a defective person with rich emotions.
At the clinic, that's all Xun learned.
But now, Xun has faced the pain she once faced, allowing her to fully release the pain she had no time to feel.
Let her directly face Rika's bullying and the events hidden behind it all.
"It's not my problem, it's Lixiang and their problem." Although Xun was in pain, after thinking about all this, he felt that the big stone that had been pressing on his heart had been removed.
At this time, there were five glasses of wine on the bar: Scapegoat, Revenge, Burden Reduction, Bliss and Indulgence.
The mission has also become: modulating justice.
Xun doesn't quite understand why the combination of these people's wines becomes justice. The game does not fully show the story behind it.
But it doesn't matter, she just wants to pass the level now.
*********************
The Public Security Department, Ike and Team Jin all looked at the virtual projection in mid-air, which was Xun's game live broadcast.
As the game progresses and is unlocked, their expressions become more and more solemn.
"The people involved in the bar case are all involved in other cases, and there are many old cases involved." Ike said after rummaging through the information. "Especially the huge corruption case that shocked the city nineteen years ago."
"There is also a human trafficking case that the department next door has been investigating. There has also been a major breakthrough here."
"The underground loan shark organization has finally caught their tail." Jin showed a complicated smile. "This mysterious game really provides us with a lot of clues."
"But the game makers couldn't find it at all. The Utopia system has been tried many times, but..."
"We have fallen into a misunderstanding. The Utopia system only governs the Internet. Just because it can't find people doesn't mean we can't find them," Team Jin said. "It seems that we have to restore the ancient investigation method of the last century, manual investigation and questioning, manual investigation of information, rather than relying on the Utopian system."
"However, our first task is to restart the investigation of these old cases. The original unsolved case of the murder of the owner of the Black Cat Bar should now have clues."
