Intercity University of Electronic Science and Technology is one of the top three universities in Beichen City. It is located on the outskirts of the city, far away from the urban area.
Standing on the tallest bell tower of this university, you can see the desolate city outside in the distance. It is far away from the city, far away from the subway and crowds. Although it is remote, it is very suitable for scientific research. Many research institutes are built in or near this school, precisely because it is quiet enough and has few distractions.
But now, a group of people gathered around the experimental building, breaking the tranquility.
Uneasiness, panic, nervousness...all kinds of negative emotions fermented among the crowd. These top students have been equipped with very advanced brain terminals and neural transmission systems since childhood, and they have never suffered any setbacks. In other words, under the guidance of school and society, they live in a sunny "safe land" and have a good attitude towards everything.
They are very happy, but at the same time their ability to withstand stress is very weak. After all, they are not gifted elites who are born to completely cut off all kinds of emotional influences. Therefore, when facing such a powerful scene, it is quite normal for their emotional value to drop below the safe value in an instant.
In front of the laboratory building, a bloody female corpse lay there. Not long ago, a female classmate jumped from the rooftop and died on the spot.
Most students couldn't understand why she wanted to die?
They were stunned by the sudden incident and stood frozen on the spot. Some people's brain terminals also began to send alerts to the Ministry of Public Security.
When the vehicle from the Public Security Department arrived, the laboratory building was already crowded with people.
Team Jin, Ike and Ji Le got out of the car.
"Evacuate the crowd and conduct on-site testing to see if anyone has an emotional breakdown. Don't delay sending those who should be sent to the treatment center." Team Jin waved his hand, and the police officers in the following cars quickly took action.
Soon, the situation in front of the experimental building was brought under control, the crowd was evacuated, and the site was cordoned off.
The sheriffs have set up an electronic cordon and will sound an alarm whenever anyone with a terminal installed in their brain crosses the line.
"It's better to put up a real warning line, such as infrared rays or warning cloth strips." Ji Le reminded.
Ike didn't react for a moment.
"Wouldn't it be possible for those who don't have terminals installed in their brains to easily cross the electronic cordon?"
"But there are still a few people who don't install this..." Halfway through his words, Ike looked at Ji Le and suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to be in trouble.
"It seems like nothing special happened." Team Jin walked towards the body and looked up at the situation in the laboratory building.
It was normal, there was no blood mist, nothing unusual.
Ji Le also couldn't feel any sign of the box scene.
but--
[You have entered the out-of-control box scene "Wraith Academy". 】
A prompt appeared in front of me.
Normally, the box scene would more or less overflow with the creator's strong emotions, which would invade the brains of normal people like poison, but now Ji Le couldn't feel anything.
Ji Le was full of doubts and looked around. Is the box scene nearby?
"Then this is an ordinary case." Ike came to a preliminary conclusion. "In that case, leave it to us. There is no need for your special crime team to appear."
"It's okay. I'm just here to check on the situation. I won't hinder you from handling the case." Ji Le stood next to the corpse and watched Ike and Team Jin check the condition of the corpse.
When his eyes fell on the body, all the basic information about the deceased popped up before his eyes.
[Name: Aisena.
Age: 20 years old;
Address: No. 18, Moon Street, Xicheng District, Beichen City;
Occupation: student;
Potential tendencies: biotechnology, chemical research direction.
No criminal records.
Status: dead;
Note: This person is a missing person from a disappearance case half a year ago. 】
"The deceased jumped directly from the 20th floor and died on the spot. There is nothing to say." Ike said. "Call her roommates, teachers, classmates, etc., and ask about the situation in general. Why did this person disappear before, but now he is dead."
"Can you tell me about the disappearance case half a year ago?" Ji Le had never paid attention to the address before, but now he discovered that the location of this school was exactly the location of the "Wraith Academy" marked by the virtual reconstruction system. At the same time, he remembered Rika also attends this university.
Intercity University of Electronic Science and Technology is really a place of right and wrong. If no abnormal events happened here, Ji Le would not believe it for the first time.
"Six months ago, a class and a teacher from this school took a bus to the countryside for an inspection and never came back. We searched for a while and couldn't detect the signal from the terminals in their brains, so we assumed that they were killed. According to the missing persons Processing. We found no clues about them, not even the wreckage of the bus, so the case became a cold case."
Ji Le nodded: "Did they go outside the city?"
"It's not exactly outside the city. Just for these teachers and students, it's still very dangerous for them. They just went to the open safe zone on the outskirts of the city."
"Didn't you detect any abnormalities? Doesn't the Utopia system monitor everyone's situation all the time?"
"Yes, but we didn't receive any clues. No matter the video records before they disappeared, we didn't even monitor the route they took. The only thing that can be determined is that they were driving to a safe area on the outskirts of the city. "
"That's why this has become a special unsolved case..." Ji Le thought. Without the interference of the box view, it would be impossible for the Utopia system to monitor nothing. This is certainly not an ordinary case.
"However, there are finally clues to the disappearance case so far." Ike breathed a sigh of relief. "This corpse is at least a breakthrough."
"Wait a minute, these people are dead. If the others are still alive, aren't you worried about their safety?"
"They have little hope of survival. As long as we can crack the truth of this case, since things will always happen, why should we have unnecessary worries?" Ike said matter-of-factly.
As he spoke, Ike took out a photo from the deceased's pocket.
"It's a very old photo. Does anyone still develop photos now?" he muttered.
Ji Le glanced from the side and saw that the content of the photo was a group photo of the whole class. Its color scheme is gray and the people inside are black and white.
Some people had crosses on their faces, and some had question marks on their heads.
"Is this a group photo of everyone in the missing class?" Ji Le guessed.
"After comparing the missing persons database, they are indeed the missing students." Team Jin frowned tightly.
"Team Jin, we found the deceased's roommate."
A shy girl with straight bangs came over under the escort of the sheriff.
Ike walked over and lowered his voice: "Don't be nervous, we are just asking you a few questions."
She nodded.
"When did your roommate come back?"
"This morning, when I was still sleeping, she appeared in the dormitory. Then she went up to the rooftop without saying a word. I had no time to stop her." The girl looked very calm. Maybe she was that person. A few geniuses have almost no mood swings.
Ji Le listened to the conversation and observed the surroundings.
This is strange, everything is normal, so where is the box scene? Is there something wrong with the prompt of the virtual reconstruction system?
