Her parents are gone, leaving behind three apartments, all in the old city center. Now, they are worth half a billion. But she didn't sell it and lived on rent.
Apart from the occasional neighbor who met her in the corridor, she had almost no social connections.
After graduation, she never worked again. She claimed to have social phobia and stayed at home playing games every day.
All daily necessities are purchased online, all meals are served with rice dumplings, and except for throwing out garbage, I almost never go out.
All her social relationships are online, especially in the killing circle. But she is notorious in the killing circle and is known as the foul-mouthed crow.
The reason is that she is very talkative. From time to time she makes some extremely bad predictions, and she always hits the mark.
With the sound of creaking machinery, Meng Fei and An Sheng finally squeezed into the small elevator.
In order to protect the elevator car, wooden boards are installed on the inner wall of the elevator. But the board was blackened and covered with various scratches and small advertisements.
The rickety elevator was like a gondola hanging in the air, constantly rubbing against the elevator shaft. Fortunately, it finally reached the twenty-seventh floor without incident.
A dark corridor appeared in front of them.
Above is a gray overhead light covered in cobwebs and dead moths, below is an ancient brown checkered tile floor.
These tiles were so old that they were not only polished but also fused with black dust.
The entire corridor is in the shape of a zigzag, with security doors every few meters on both sides.
Logically speaking, 2702 is the second room, but in reality this is not the case at all. They almost took a roundabout way to find their true location.
There is a doorbell on the iron door. Meng Fei pressed it twice, but there was no response. The battery of this doorbell has probably been exhausted a long time ago and no one has replaced it.
He could only knock on the heavy iron door with his fist, but there was still no response. An Sheng shook his fist. After several bangs, the door was finally opened.
"sorry for disturbance."
An Sheng took out his ID, which had a police badge on it.
"We are investigators from the Supernatural Bureau. There are some things we need to find out from you."
The woman who appeared at the door was wearing a cool, loose-fitting grass-green suspender suit that resembled a nightgown, and had a shoulder-length schoolgirl hairdo.
She is thirty-one years old? Regardless of appearance or temperament, he seems to be stuck in high school and has not grown up.
Is this caused by playing too many games and forgetting to grow up?
Simply speaking from appearance, she can only be said to be average compared to Ai Ting and Suzaku.
But with a white face covering all the ugliness, and with a calm temperament, Meng Fei couldn't help but take a second look.
What's terrible is this cool suspender outfit. From arms to shoulders to collarbones and chest, large areas of tender skin are exposed, which makes people can't help but think about it.
A pair of equally white and tender calves were exposed under the skirt that reached about her knees, and on her feet were a pair of lazy beige cloth slippers with toes exposed.
Meng Fei thought, should we wait outside until you are fully dressed before coming in?
But the woman didn't hesitate at all, she just nodded quietly and said, "Then come in."
The decoration in the room is very old. This kind of wooden floor made of small wooden bricks, which looks a bit like an old basketball court, is really rare.
The TV set was actually a giant picture tube, and there was also a brown-black radio that could be called an antique.
On the wooden coffee table is a chessboard with almost all the color blocks painted on it. There are very few people downloading this game these days. If you want to download it, you have to download it online.
If there is any incongruity in the room, it is that the shape is very technological and the whole body is pink. It is obviously a VR sleeping cabin for girls.
"What's the matter? Tell me?"
She sat opposite Meng Fei and An Sheng, kicked off her slipper with one foot, and curled up lazily on the sofa like a kitten.
"This is a formal investigation and I want to record it. Do you mind?"
"do not mind."
Meng Fei turned on the recording on his cell phone seriously and started asking questions.
"Your name is Wanyi?"
"yes."
“Have you ever played Cloud Leopard Entertainment’s Killer Game?”
"I've played it before. I play it every day."
"Have you ever had a 'Twelve Hour Nightmare'?"
Her eyes flickered, she held her knees that were exposed due to curling up with both hands, and replied:
"Is that the problem of being stuck in the game for a long time and unable to get out?"
"Yes."
"I've encountered it before."
"Do you remember when it happened?
"Did you complain to the game customer service? Was it resolved later?"
“I can’t remember the time clearly.
"Maybe half a year ago?
"Of course I complained. They compensated me with game currency."
"Not solved?"
"I don't know."
The girl who had forgotten how to grow up put her chin on her knees and talked like a puppet in a funny way.
"Anyway, he never showed up again."
"Only once?"
"just one time."
"Did you encounter any other strange things later?"
"Strange thing?"
Her eyes also became a little strange.
"For example, abnormalities in the game or abnormalities in life can also be counted."
Meng Fei thought for a moment and decided not to tempt her directly by asking "the plot in the game becomes reality". It would be best if she could think of it herself.
"Anomalies in life?"
The girl seemed a little absent-minded and continued to answer while playing with her mobile phone.
Meng Fei wanted to remind her not to use her mobile phone when cooperating with the investigation. But I feel that being so harsh to a girl with social phobia is a bit too much.
Just think of it as a less formal investigation.
"My life is very ordinary, nothing unusual has happened to me."
The girl silently buried her eyes in her arms and whispered.
Meng Fei intuitively felt that the girl was lying. But social fear of girls lying is not necessarily malicious.
They will end the conversation as quickly as possible to avoid the torture of continuing to communicate with others.
But the implications of this case are too important for Meng Fei to give up just now. If you want her to say something, you can only put some pressure on her.
"If that's the case, we have to ask you to come back with us and cooperate with the investigation."
"With you? Where to go?"
There was obvious panic in the girl's eyes.
Meng Fei explained patiently:
"I suspect you may have forgotten something. These things are important to our investigation.
"We have equipment in the bureau, which may make you think again. Don't worry, these equipment are very safe. It's almost like playing a killing game."
"When you said that, I remembered it."
The girl said as she continued typing on her phone.
"Sometimes I can't tell whether it's a game, a dream, or reality. Is this an abnormality?"
"Wait, you said you can't tell the difference between a game and a dream?"
Meng Fei decided to classify the anomalies she described. Eliminate the unimportant parts first, and then analyze the important ones.
"This should be easy to distinguish, right?"
