The first day of the assessment has passed, but there has been no major breakthrough in the case.
Chen Mingming woke up as usual... and a strange feeling came with him. Ranha gradually became familiar with this place where he had lived for more than ten years.
There were some sounds outside the room, the voices of parents and mother talking... Everything that happened yesterday was indeed not a dream.
He suddenly felt a little greedy for the feeling at this moment.
After a while, Zhou Yusheng pushed the door open and came in, "Oh, I got up, and I was going to call you. Let's have breakfast quickly. We'll go out later."
While thinking about the case, Chen Mingming said, "I may have to go back later. I want to take a look at where Wang Liang works."
Although the parchment contains detailed information about the case, after all, Chen Mingming has not been to these places in person, so it is inevitable that some feelings are missing.
Zhou Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded. It was a good thing that his son was so involved in the case.
"Okay, I'll give you an application for going out later." Zhou Yusheng warned, "Be careful and notify me as soon as there is any news."
After a brief conversation, Chen Mingming got up and took a shower. He and his mother took advantage of the free time to have a brief chat, and Chen Mingming found that his mother had indeed forgotten about going abroad... This state seems to be the same now.
status a year ago.
A state where family is the center and career is the supplement.
Since my mother and father separated and then divorced, my mother has devoted almost all her time to work. She has made great achievements in her career, but the look of exhaustion on her face is getting heavier day by day.
Chen Mingming had not seen this hearty smile for a long time.
"Forgot the key!"
When going out, the wife sent her husband and son to the door and asked casually: "What do you want to eat for dinner?"
Zhou Yusheng was sweeter than before, saying that everything he cooked was delicious, which earned his wife a look.
Chen Mingming directly mentioned two of his favorite dishes, and his mother agreed with a smile.
…
Yesterday was Saturday, and today is naturally Sunday.
On rest days, there were not many people on the street early in the morning... Chen Mingming followed the address on the information and found the place where Wang Liang once worked.
But the bar was obviously not open.
He contacted the owner of the bar. After a brief explanation, the owner of the bar had to get up and find an employee to come over and open the door for Chen Mingming.
After procrastinating all the way, finally at almost 11 o'clock in the morning, an employee with bags under his eyes and bloodshot eyes rode a small electric donkey to the door of the bar and opened the door.
As soon as Pu came in, the garbage on the floor and the various smells mixed in the air made Chen Mingming frown.
The employee was a little embarrassed and said: "Sir, we usually clean the store before opening in the afternoon... We open it until three or four in the morning at night, and everyone is exhausted..."
"I want to go see Wang Liang's locker." Chen Mingming said directly.
This young man was a waiter in the bar. He was young, about 20 years old. After he brought Chen Mingming to Wang Liang's locker in the rest room, he leaned against the locker, yawned, and felt listless.
.
While Chen Mingming was looking at the things in the cabinet, there was actually nothing here. All the things inside had been taken away... Recalling the information he had investigated, Chen Mingming began to think about what he wanted to ask.
"What is your relationship with Wang Liang?"
"He? He's a colleague, what does it have to do with it?" The young man's eyes were bleary, and he answered a little casually, "Ah, sir, you have been here several times, and you have asked almost everything you need to ask..."
"What is his financial situation?"
"It doesn't seem to be that good. This guy likes to gamble. He owes a lot of gambling debts. People often come to collect debts." The young man thought for a while and said.
The situation is still the same as the investigation... Chen Mingming thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and clicked on the photo, "Have you seen all these women?"
Among them are photos of Zhang Xiaoqin and Wu Rong, and others are also related to Wang Liang.
"You've asked me before... aren't these all Wang Liang's girlfriends?" The young man wiped his face, but speaking of it, although this guy is not very good, he really has a way of picking up girls. Well, this...
With this, he would often bring it to the bar."
The young man pointed at the photo of Wu Rong and the photo of another woman.
"He would often bring these two women here, so why don't you say anything?" Chen Mingming asked curiously.
The young man said: "What's there to say? This is not a strange thing. Man, it's okay to have two boats, three boats. It's your ability to get involved. Besides, we can't offend Wang Liang for irrelevant people."
, after all, he has brought people here, so you can greet them as you wish."
Chen Mingming said: "I heard that before Wang Liang resigned, Wu Rong... this woman came to make a big fuss once?"
The young man nodded and said: "Yes, it was such a big fuss. This woman was so crazy that she almost stabbed her. In the end, Wang Liang begged her all the way, and the fuss lasted most of the night before it ended. Hey, as the saying goes
If you climb many mountains, you will eventually encounter a tiger. If you don’t have a diamond, don’t get a porcelain job. If you mess around like this, something will definitely happen.”
"What happened next?"
"Later, Wang Liang didn't come to work for several days. He was gone for more than a week, right? Then he came back. After working for a few days, he said he wanted to resign."
"Have you seen Wu Rong again? Or this other woman Wang Liang brought here?"
"No more, right?" The young man thought for a while and said, "There are so many people here at night and the lights are dim. Even if they come, I may not be able to notice them."
Remembering the prompt on the parchment, Chen Mingming clicked on another photo, "Have you seen this man?"
"No." The young man shook his head.
Chen Mingming nodded,
…
After coming out of the bar, it was already lunch time... Chen Mingming sat alone in front of a square, heaving a slow breath and constantly recalling what the young man said.
Suddenly a huge shadow came in front of Chen Mingming.
He looked up and saw that it was a huge brown bear. Of course, it was not a real brown bear, it was just a person wearing costumes.
Just when Chen Mingming was stunned, the 'brown bear' suddenly stretched out its claws, and then clamped Chen Mingming's cheek with force from left to right.
I only heard a deep voice coming from inside the brown bear's hood, "Wow! Disobedient child, I'm going to eat you."
"What are you doing here?" Chen Mingming asked expressionlessly.
This 'brown bear' suddenly let go of his hand, and then took off his bear head hood... It turned out to be the library girl Tara.
Tara took off her hood, her face covered in sweat, and then sat down, "I'm working! Didn't I say I have to work on Saturdays and Sundays? I'm going to travel during the summer vacation, so I have to save money! Boyfriend, you
Why are you here?"
Intuition told Chen Mingming that Tara didn't really feel in love with her... This girl just approached him with good intentions.
"Just take a walk." Chen Mingming replied subconsciously.
"Well...are you planning to take a good look at this city and give yourself some nostalgia before going abroad?" Tara blinked.
Chen Mingming's lips twitched... Tara didn't look like his parents, nor did she look like the police officers in the police station, whose memory had been temporarily altered.
But it seems right to think about it... He just participated in a five-day assessment and changed his identity within the police station. This was already the greatest convenience. It seemed impossible to completely change his life trajectory.
change.
If we really achieve that step...then is this world the original world or another world?
Chen Mingming always has the feeling of being able to peek through a tunnel.
"If I could feel nostalgic after just a few laps, I probably wouldn't have decided to go abroad in the first place." Chen Mingming shook his head and said.
"Well...you are a little different today." Tara suddenly looked at Chen Mingming seriously.
Chen Mingming asked curiously: "What's the difference?"
Tara said seriously: "You have something on your mind, and... you talk more!"
Chen Mingming was startled. It was true that he had something on his mind, but how could he explain that he was talking too much?
"And..." Tara suddenly patted Chen Mingming's head, "The eyes are much brighter and not so cold. We haven't seen them for more than a day. Did you encounter something happy?"
"Probably." Chen Mingming smiled subconsciously, remembering what happened during last night's meal.
Tara suddenly shouted: "Don't move!!"
Chen Mingming was startled.
Tara quickly took out her hand from the prop clothes and pressed her fingers on Chen Mingming's cheek, "I said this smile, don't move... It's not easy. It's the first time I see you smiling! Don't move, don't move.
…”
Taking out her mobile phone with one hand, Tara took a photo of this rare scene she said.
The moment the shutter clicked, Chen Mingming suddenly felt like he was in a dream.
Tara looked at her phone quite contentedly. Chen Mingming didn't know where her satisfaction came from, but he just thought her smile was really pretty.
Tara cleared her throat at this time and said seriously: "Well... to reward you, let me provide you with a special service!"
"What?"
Tara smiled slyly, hugged Chen Mingming directly, put him on his lap, covered his eyes with her palms, and said softly: "This is the highest level of service, enjoy it!"
The moment his eyes were covered, a wave of tiredness came over him... Once again, the feeling of lying on the grassland under the blue sky and white clouds emerged.
Chen Mingming was a little greedy and intoxicated, and soon fell asleep.
…
When he woke up again, this energetic girl was gone again just like the last time.
The brown bear was no longer visible in the square.
However, Chen Mingming felt full of energy and had an indescribable sense of relaxation... Thinking back to the investigation of the case in the morning, Chen Mingming called an online taxi.
He felt that it seemed necessary to meet Zhao Le.
When getting in the car, Chen Mingming suddenly remembered that he had sent the pistol to Zhao Le... But now, he couldn't remember why he sent the pistol.
…
…
"Someone from the Administration?"
In the study, after turning off the light and shadow, Luo Qiu was slightly stunned.
The maid stood in front of the desk and whispered: "They should have noticed something a long time ago, and they finally went in this time."
Luo Qiu thought for a while and then said: "Tell me about the situation."
Youye said: "Currently, they have controlled the game company behind the scenes. But they have never known that the game company's server is just a window for the 'Lord God Plan'. Even if it is separated from the game company's server, the game world will still automatically
Run. Because they don’t understand the concept, they don’t even dare to shut down the game company’s original server.”
Luo Qiu crossed his hands and nodded: "After this upgrade, the capacity has increased, and the number of people attracted has naturally increased... It seems that the quantitative change has finally caused a qualitative change."
The maid asked: "Do you need to lower the frequency?"
Luo Qiu shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "No, just follow this pace... With the speed at which I do business, if I don't have a stable source of income, my family's fortune will be ruined sooner or later."
The maid just smiled slightly. Apart from the master, the one who knows the boss's 'financial' situation best is her... Ever since the evil souls sold by Su Zijun were sacrificed, the master has become rich again... At this time, even if
If the master is in the mood to take another half-year vacation, there will be no problem.
In addition, although many of them have passed through the owner's hands, they are still in the service stage and have not yet officially collected the bill... Judging from the current situation, when the bill can actually be collected, it will naturally be a huge sum.
income.
"In this case, let's minimize the impact." The maid naturally didn't want to cause too much trouble to the master, "I'll change the program again and spread the 'entrance' to the entire world's network... In this case
, at least it can delay the time of qualitative change in the future.”
Judging from the world's population base of 7 to 8 billion, it will still take a while before panic is caused before it is evenly distributed to all parts of the world.
"No need." Luo Qiu smiled slightly and said, "As long as we temporarily close the entrance to this world, that's enough."
"Master, what you mean is..." You Ye was startled, then thought of something, and suddenly said: "Another world?"
Luo Qiu said softly: "There should be a world where the level of civilization and even the environmental conditions are similar to this one."
The answer is...yes.
"If that's the case, then you don't have to worry about the growth rate anymore." The maid smiled slightly at this time, "It seems that the standard of automatic selection can be lowered, but in this case, I'm afraid the main server will also start to expand.
...Since the master injected a huge amount of spiritual energy last time, the original server has become somewhat unable to satisfy the self-evolution in the game world."
"Then use this." Luo Qiu opened his palms at this time.
I saw a rhombus-shaped crystal, now in the boss's palm, emitting colorful light... Feeling the strange aura emanating from this crystal, Youye's eyes lit up slightly, "This is..."
"The fragments of the world." Luo Qiu smiled and said, "I just bought them from the altar... Okay, now I have become a pauper again."
The maid lady didn't care... As long as the entrance to other worlds is opened and the world is evolved with world fragments, there will be an immeasurable number of souls that can enter the game.
This kind of investment is completely profitable.
"It seems that Taiyinzi really made a mistake and came up with something extraordinary." The maid asked softly: "Did the master actually think about it from the beginning?"
Luo Qiu smiled and said: "Don't think of me as such a far-sighted person. This is just an idea that slowly formed later... If I hadn't experienced Yan Wuyue's world, I wouldn't have had so many ideas."
While explaining this, Luo Qiu suddenly had another thought in his mind.
Each sub-world has its own sub-administrator Alaya... All sub-worlds are a breeding ground for cultivating a perfect world, and they are all under the same system.
So, what if there is a self-evolving world outside this system... then what will happen?
