Half past ten in the evening.
Meng Fei yawned.
In this kind of confinement, his life routine was out of order, and it was actually not easy to feel sleepy.
He planned to seize this tiredness and have a good sleep.
He closed the curtains and turned off the lights. In a room without computers and mobile phones, the world is really quiet.
It's the kind of quiet that feels like your ears are blocked and you can hear your own heartbeat.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a rustling sound above his head.
"Is it finally here?"
He got up and turned on the light and looked at the ceiling.
The ceiling was clean, but there was a vent with a grate.
However, the vents here are very small, about 30cm*30cm at most, and it is impossible for a person to pass through them.
The sound should come from the air duct inside.
"Why don't you come out and talk?"
Meng Fei said to the ceiling.
"Do you still think I don't know what you are?
"Not only did I see it, I also took a video."
"Really, how did you take the photo?"
A strange voice replied. It was the voice of a person speaking, but it was neither a male nor a female voice.
Meng Fei felt that this should be the sound made by the whole ceiling vibrating. It was a bit rough, without intonation, and very mechanical.
Your voice and tone of voice can reveal a lot. The other party may have made the sound like this just to avoid this.
"This was taken with your cell phone while you were typing on the keyboard in the office."
Meng Fei said calmly.
"oh?"
Although the voice was a little surprised, there was still no change in tone.
"I kept staring at you and didn't see you take out your phone to take pictures."
"It's just because you keep staring at me that you can't see it."
Meng Fei smiled.
“When I was sleeping on the windowsill, I put my phone on the window sill and pointed the camera into the office.
"When I get up, you will only notice me, but not the cell phone I left on the window sill."
"Oh Well."
Meng Fei saw the fence at the ventilation passage above his head move.
Because the opening is narrow, if it is fixed with screws, no one can climb inside to unscrew it, which will be extremely difficult for maintenance.
So the crossing fence is actually stuck inside. Just pull it out gently from the outside and move it to the side.
Something nimbly came out of it, jumped down and landed on the table, staring at Meng Fei with a pair of unfathomably dark eyes.
A blue-checkered cat?
In fact, this was not a cat, but the motionless stuffed animal that Xiao Han placed on her desk.
This puppet looks simple at first glance, but is actually incredibly detailed.
Meng Fei checked and found that it was not simply a piece of blue plaid cloth with a lot of stuffed fiber inside.
It has a complete skeleton inside, and every joint on its body can move like a real cat.
This allows it to be put into a variety of poses.
But no one thought that this thing could really move on its own. Not only can it move, it can also move the mouse and type the keyboard!
Meng Fei captured the video of the puppet moving, lying on the table, moving the mouse, typing on the keyboard, and completing the transfer.
After he sent the video to Ai Ting, Ai Ting successfully applied for an approval to convert an ordinary case into a supernatural case through the goddess system.
Meng Fei used the system to scan it.
But this is just a relatively fine, handmade puppet that can be put into different poses, and there is no sign of any supernatural powers.
This has to do with the limitations of his system.
Only when the system-level bug is really exploited and the superpower is displayed and is seen by him, his strongest bug system can call the police.
This ragdoll cat is not an illegal item created by some supernatural power, but a genuine handicraft.
Therefore, even if he directly scans the puppet, he will not get any results.
But when he saw it jumping down from the ventilation opening vividly, a red warning immediately appeared in his mind.
【warn! Exploitation of system-level BUG detected! Illegal puppeteering. 】
[Tip: System-level BUG has been confirmed. Experience value +10]
[BUG name: Illegal puppet control]
[Criminal’s title: Puppet Master]
[Description: Can use consciousness to control and absorb surrounding energy to drive objects that can serve as puppets. 】
【detail:】
【1. Effective distance is 300 meters. 】
[2. The movement of the puppet cannot violate physical rules. 】
[3. The puppet must be made by the puppet master himself in order to imbue the puppet master with part of his spirituality. 】
[4. The puppet's eyes must be made of monocrystalline silicon or special materials with equivalent effects to absorb the energy that drives its own movement. 】
Monocrystalline silicon? What materials are solar panels made of?
Physically speaking, even if the structure of this toy is movable and has energy-absorbing parts to possess energy, it has no motor or muscles, so it is impossible for it to run like a real cat.
Let alone controlling it with consciousness.
But it just runs.
Some bug-like ability recombined these elements, making it move like an intelligent creature.
It can be seen that this ability is limited. It does break some rules, but it's not unlimited. Most of the other underlying rules of the world still apply to it.
At this time, there was a ding-dong sound in the goddess system, which was a message from Ai Ting.
"Xiao Han still hasn't been found. She's not found at her home or in her usual places. Relatives and friends have searched for her, but they haven't been found."
“Bring everyone back.
"She was within 300 meters of me.
"But her key card is prohibited from entering the Golden Turtle Building. The building's security is very tight, and it is impossible for her to stay in the building.
"Considering that I am currently on the 10th floor and about 50 meters high, plus the size of the building itself, she should be within 200 meters of the Golden Turtle Building."
“Search the public areas downstairs.
"For example, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, roadside benches, and...
“Keep an eye out for people in parked vehicles on the side of the road.
“And the various buildings nearby.”
"good."
"Don't make too much noise, be careful.
"Save your life first, don't die..."
Meng Fei warned.
"Don't be so clumsy!"
Ai Ting made a head-knocking expression and replied.
This guy is actually afraid of my death. She thought about it in her mind for a while.
Meng Fei recalled the scene of the violent explosion on Yunshen Building, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Fortunately, the opponent definitely doesn't know that he can accurately judge the effective range of their abilities.
If he knew, this Ragdoll cat would never dare to appear in front of him.
X didn't know he had a system, which was a huge advantage to him. All he had to do was chat with this puppet, keep talking, and stall for as long as possible.
"What do you call it?"
Meng Fei sat cross-legged on the bed, with a look of disdain on his face, but he was panicking to death.
The puppet's face moved, and its monocrystalline silicon eyes flickered a little because of the reflected light.
The sound of its speech is based on the same principle as its movement. It is emitted by vibrating the skeleton within the body. It is a bit light, like something buzzing, but Meng Fei can still understand it.
"If you don't mind, you can call me X."
