As he walked to Yingyu School, he opened WeChat on his mobile phone and browsed the introduction to the game Wang Peng sent him.
The God of War game appeared half a year ago, with a three-month season, and it is now the first month of the third season. Xu Qian knew the general situation. After all, there was overwhelming news about this game, but he didn't pay attention to it, let alone play it.
Xu Qian's understanding of this game, like that of most people, is a process from confusion to surprise to acceptance and continued confusion.
The manufacturer and publisher of every game should be clear and transparent, but for this game, even the manufacturer and publisher did not know who it was at the beginning. An article pointed out at the time that it could be promoted with such intensity The identity of the game manufacturer who is able to hide his true identity has already been revealed, but those who know it do not say it or cannot say it, leaving all living beings confused and constantly guessing.
As the organization of the first season progressed, people finally determined, not surprisingly, that the central government is behind this game, because the competition venues set up in various places are all provided by local governments, and high-level competition sites even have a certain scale of police. Inspectors maintain order rather than security. The most unexpected thing is that at the end of the game competition, the best winners are selected to form a national training team for training. It is said that they will eventually represent the country in competitions with other countries.
Of course, news has also come from overseas. In addition to some powerful countries forming independent teams, many other small countries have formed teams together in the form of alliances. The era of a game Olympics is about to come.
Also, the information technology involved in this game has exceeded the scope of understanding in this era. But regarding this point, when the people understand that it is for national level or even global participation, they feel that everything makes sense, or at least is acceptable.
Why was this game developed? What is the purpose of all countries actively participating in the competition and creating an Olympic-like competition model? Governments of various countries naturally know what they are doing, but they do not seem to want to make the answer public.
Then all kinds of speculations came one after another, some were conclusive and some were fanciful, but the officials from various countries seemed to be indifferent and never explained. They just promoted the game with increasing intensity. Until now, domestic schools are actually required to recommend a certain amount of students participate in the competition.
No matter in any country, competitive games cannot be the mainstream of society. They can only be an entertainment project and at most belong to an emerging sport. In China, most people think that playing games affects learning. Since there is no explanation or explanation, people are shocked and talk about the news about games while living as usual. There may be people who invest in this game because of the country's measures, but they are still a minority after all. Although the game itself has attracted some people because of its epoch-making entertainment and rewards, and its social influence is gradually expanding, the promoters are obviously not satisfied, so today's compulsory measures have been adopted.
Everyone realizes that there must be something involved behind the game, maybe it is national interests, maybe it is a resource war, but it can be attributed to every living person. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the daily necessities of life. To live in the present, students want scores. Teachers want admission rates, bosses want profits, and employees want performance. Just like there is a thunder in the sky, people who want to go out will take umbrellas, and some people will postpone their time to go out, but people will never quit their jobs or drop out of school because of this thunder, unless they will learn to be struck by lightning if they don't quit.
In the afternoon, Xu Qian got the key and took a leave of absence to move happily. His luggage was very small, no furniture, just a few clothes and some bedding and toiletries. He always eats takeout or eats out, and his school supplies are all in the classroom. He could have carried all the weight in one trip, but in order not to attract attention, he still made two trips.
When he went to the old rental house for the second time, ambulances, police vehicles and crowds of onlookers appeared downstairs.
"He has just retired a few months ago, and he still comes to buy cigarettes from me at noon." The owner of a small supermarket in the community said regretfully among the crowd.
"I don't know why he took the stairs. The elevator is obviously not broken."
"His house is on the third floor. If the floor is not high, many people just use the walk. They can't bear to wait for the elevator."
Xu Qian noticed that two inspectors were asking an elderly woman whose eyes were red from crying, "Isn't this the person who lives next door to me?"
Xu Qian was not a person who liked to join in the fun, but when he saw this woman, he still knew her, so he asked people about her.
"The resident of Building 5, 302, fell to his death while walking up the stairs. Speaking of which, he was not very old, and the corridor was bright in broad daylight. I really can't understand how this could happen."
At this time, the elderly woman saw Xu Qian in the crowd and pointed to the inspector, and the two inspectors came over.
"Hello, are you a resident of Building 5, 303?"
"Well, yes, but I'm moving."
"So between 5:10 and 15 p.m., were you home?"
Xu Qian thought for a moment and replied, "No, I was on my way to move at that time."
The inspector then asked: "Is there anyone else in your family?"
"No, I live alone."
Ji Cha thought for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he left Xu Qian's name and phone number, saying that he would contact him if he needed anything.
After Ji Cha left his side, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he said was true. Logically speaking, this matter had nothing to do with him, but he was worried about the police checking his ID card. Although the ID card was genuine and was taken out from the Household Registration Section of the Police Prosecution Office under the arrangement of the issuing group, the identity was fake after all, and it was he who was guilty of committing the crime.
"Huh? It's that car!" Xu Qian glanced at a black Mercedes-Benz parked in the distance. He still remembered the license plate. The familiar aura of an immortal cultivator had once appeared in that car.
Xu Qian instinctively looked around, but he couldn't find that person either with his naked eyes or with his aura. "Could it be that he knew I could sense him and hid on purpose?"
Xu Qian would not regard this car as a coincidence when it appeared in the community where he lived. He even felt that the death of his next door neighbor was probably related to this person.
"We met at noon, and then the man came here, and then my neighbor died. Could it be that this man came to see me, and then what happened with the neighbor, and finally killed him?" Thinking of this, Xu Subconsciously, I became extremely wary of this person, and at the same time felt guilty for the death of my neighbor.
Although he has not yet considered himself a part of this world, he is not indifferent to life, and if things are really as he thinks, he will seek an explanation for his neighbor.
