"The first question is, now, do I, the current one, have the final say, or do you, the ex, have the final say?"
"You! You have the final say."
"You know what's interesting, tell me, what exactly is this intelligence? What's the novice mission? Are there any shortcuts?"
The cat-shaped relief is a little confused: "I really can't answer what a spirit is. Its regular form is a paper charm. When it enters your body, it seems like a living being with autonomous consciousness. And most of the time, it
He is also very mean, very picky, very carefree, very narrow-minded, and sometimes very petty..."
Any shortcomings that could be arranged, he arranged for Zhiling.
It's human nature to generally not say nice things about your ex.
"As for advice for beginners, I can only say that you have to try your best to complete it, otherwise you will be really unlucky."
"Of course, after completing the novice mission and getting the novice gift package, it is usually quite generous. Although this thing has many shortcomings, at least it is quite generous."
"You said I am the eighty-first. So the previous eighty predecessors all have novice tasks, right? How did you complete them in the first place?"
"How we complete it has nothing to do with your novice mission."
"This Zhiling is a weird thing. Every time it restarts, the settings are completely different. Therefore, everything the Zhiling arranges for you is brand new and depends on the era. You cannot refer to the experience of the previous eighty games.
"
"To put it bluntly, there is actually no difference between the first term and the 100th term. For the intelligence, it is just a random choice."
This smart spirit seems to be really no ordinary trap. Every time it is started, the settings are completely new.
Can this still be done?
It seems you have to rely on yourself for everything.
"By the way, what is your novice mission?" the cat-shaped relief asked curiously.
Jiang Yue didn't hide anything and told the truth.
"The novice mission requires you to clear monsters. It's not that difficult. Although I don't know what this Year Eater is, the name tells me it's not a good thing."
"By the way, according to the consistent urinary nature of intelligence, you have to think carefully about every name, every place, and every number it mentions."
"Based on my past experience, these things often contain multiple layers of meaning. There are some hidden hints. For example, the one you mentioned, 24 hours a day, there are definitely clues in it."
"When I first received the paper charm, it also reminded me of the 24-hour detail."
"That's a reminder that you must arrive at Villa No. 9 within 24 hours."
"What if I don't get here in time?"
"Hey, then you're out. The shortest-lived predecessor is born."
"So cheating?" Jiang Yue suddenly wanted to break the contract.
"There are more pitfalls than this. Let's get to know it slowly."
"However, with Zhiling's usual routine, repeatedly mentioning 24 hours must be revealing something. I guess it has something to do with your novice mission."
"Of course, I won't go into details about the specific situation."
"This is the first interaction between you and Zhiling. I can't interfere with your thoughts. Otherwise, it will be messed up in the end and we will both be unlucky."
Jiang Yue understood that what the other party said was probably the truth.
I thought that this paper talisman summoned him to come to Villa No. 9, and there must be a big surprise waiting for him. At worst, he would have to give him a golden finger, and from then on he would take off and reach the pinnacle of life.
Unexpectedly, the golden finger is not there, and there is an additional novice task inexplicably.
I didn't eat the fish secretly, but it made me smell fishy.
It’s just that there are multiple tasks. It is said that if you don’t complete them, the consequences will be miserable. This is simply unbearable.
Jiang Yue's mentality was broken.
But the matter has come to this, no matter how it collapses, we still have to reorganize it, accept the reality, and accept the task!
Year eater?
What the hell is this?
So far, Jiang Yue doesn't even know what it is, so how can he track it?
Even if you want to follow it, there must be a clue, right?
Jiang Yue was at a loss.
While I was thinking about it, the cell phone in my pocket rang.
"Xiao Jiang?" Officer Han's voice was urgent on the other end of the phone, sounding very anxious and angry.
"Officer Han, have you found any clues?"
"We are in big trouble. Xiao Jiang, I need your help. Wherever you are, I will pick you up."
Officer Han acted vigorously and resolutely, which was consistent with his professional status.
Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm at the Elm Street Night Market."
The Daozi Lane villa area is located in the large business district of Elm Street, not far from the night market, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at the night market entrance. I'll be there in half an hour."
After Officer Han finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
Jiang Yue put away his cell phone and thought about the ins and outs of this case. Suddenly, an inspiration seemed to pop out of his chaotic thoughts.
Year eater?
Eat, eat.
Years, years, time.
"That's what happened!" Jiang Yue slapped his thigh. It was really hard to find a place without any effort. It took no effort at all.
The nurse from Star City No. 2 Hospital, neighbor Sister He, the taxi driver...
And Sangou’s weird pants…
All the details have one obvious common feature: years and time seem to have been stolen in an instant.
It is perfectly consistent with the word "year-eater", even seamlessly connected.
Putting it this way, were the more than 20 years lost by those three people devoured by that ICU patient Ke Yunshan?
What a terrifying ability this is?
Will it be a demon king-level monster when it appears?
That is to say, Jiang Yue has long had a psychological presumption about the changes in the world, and coupled with his family background, his acceptance of these things is much better than ordinary people.
Otherwise, if Leng Buding told him that such a terrifying thing was happening, he would also be scared.
As the 81st successor, there are still benefits after all.
For example, Villa No. 9 was left by the previous predecessor. According to the principle that the successor takes over all assets, Villa No. 9 naturally became Jiang Yue's asset.
Of course, Jiang Yue had no time to be happy now.
The 24-hour task deadline is like a tight spell.
Jiang Yue didn't have the capital to slack off. Although he had a question in mind that he wanted to ask, he still hurried out.
Completely integrated with wisdom, the door of the villa can now be easily entered and exited.
Just as the front foot reached the entrance to Elm Street, Officer Han drove up behind the wheel.
"Officer Han, if you come to see me next time, why don't you drive the company's car dealership? It will make me look like I have committed something, which is terrible." Jiang Yue joked.
He also saw that Officer Han was highly nervous and needed to adjust the atmosphere.
"Xiao Jiang, I have a headache. We have received four more calls to the police one after another. In other words, there have been seven victims so far."
"This matter has begun to cause panic in some parts of society."
The current speed of information dissemination is too fast. Even if there are various technical means to block, delete posts, and ban accounts, small-scale dissemination is still inevitable.
"Officer Han, let's make a long story short. Where is the police's current guess about its location?"
Nowadays, the streets are full of surveillance. As long as the initial clues are not lost and the clues are followed, the general area of activity can still be locked.
Although the shape of the other party in the surveillance is rather strange, the appearance cannot be completely locked, and face recognition cannot be performed.
However, Xingcheng Second Hospital will definitely provide the patient information, and the police also have many ways to find it.
Officer Han handed over a folder.
Only a few hours had passed since Officer Han took Sangou's pants and left in the afternoon. There were four more victims.
The police have actually collected the information of all the victims and recorded the records.
Jiang Yue was in awe of this efficiency.
If this was an ordinary case, it would have been solved with such efficiency. However, what we faced this time was not a cruel criminal at all, but an unknown evil that ordinary people could not imagine.
The contents of the folder are very detailed.
The first page of the document is a video surveillance screenshot.
The time was 11:44, and the taxi carrying ICU patient Ke Yunshan stopped at Bailu Park.
When Ke Yunshan got off the car, of course, whether it was Ke Yunshan or not is another question.
The second page is a screenshot of Jiang Yue and the others getting into the taxi after driving on the road for six or seven minutes.
On the third page, the screenshot of Ke Yunshan’s back entering Bailu Park is as weird as ever. Ke Yunshan is always a blurry ball in the video.
There are six pages of screenshots at the back, which are between 12 o'clock and 19 o'clock. At different time periods, there are screenshots of Ke Yunshan being captured in different areas.
There are documents at the back, recording the transcripts of the four new victims and the analysis of their activity areas.
What's worse is that these victims were so confused that they didn't even know where exactly this evil thing happened.
According to the victim's statement, their activities throughout the day were no different from usual, they did not feel anything strange, and they did not encounter any strange people at all.
Regarding everything that happened, their state can be described in two words: confused!
After reading all the documents, Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to express his position and sorted it out in his mind.
The rough activity area slowly formed a preliminary concept in his mind.
Jiang Yue is actually very familiar with these areas.
The area from Xingcheng Second Hospital to Bailu Park is not far from Jiang Yue's home, within a twenty-minute drive, and that includes waiting for traffic lights and other factors.
It only takes thirty or forty minutes to walk.
Seeing Jiang Yue's silence, Officer Han couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"
