Chapter 76: Deceiving God and Changing Fate (1)
According to Feng Youyun’s self-report, ten years ago his business was quite large in the local area, making a lot of money and offending a lot of people. One of them was his long-time friend.
As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields. That friend lost the business competition with him. The company went bankrupt and liquidated. I owed huge debts and suffered strong mental stimulation. I refused to accept the very generous offer from Lao Feng. According to the merger and transfer conditions, I chose to jump from the rooftop.
Before jumping off the building, he called Lao Feng. In addition to accusing Lao Feng of betrayal, he also cursed him for a long time in a weird dialect with an incomprehensible pronunciation.
Later, Lao Feng found an elderly man from his friend's hometown, and after questioning, he found out that the content of the dialect was a curse on his family to die, leaving him alone and without any descendants.
Of course Lao Feng would not believe such crazy talk, but soon his wife became seriously ill and was hospitalized, and his originally healthy son also had a fever all day long and fell into a coma.
In desperation, Lao Feng listened to the alchemist's words, secretly funded the orphanage, brought the friend's ten-year-old child into the society, gave him food, clothing, and sent him to school. In a sense Consider adopting him. This neutralizes the curse.
An adopted son is also a son. The friend who cursed him can't kill his biological son as well, right?
Xiao Feng doesn’t know if this method is effective. In short, Lao Feng’s son recovered quickly. Except for being weak and short of breath, everything is normal. Lao Feng’s wife’s condition has also improved significantly. She is at home (that is, in this villa) ) After two or three years of peace, he passed away suddenly and painlessly in his sleep.
Until a month ago, the curse seemed to have come to the door again and entangled Lao Feng’s grandson, Xiao Xiao Feng.
After the four players listened to Lao Feng's narration, they pressed their swords and pushed up their round sunglasses, and said slowly: "Boss Feng, you should know about the killing scene, right?"
Feng Youyun nodded, "Know a little."
"The so-called curse was placed ten years ago, and your wife died seven years ago. But it was not until the killing scene came four and a half years ago that abnormal events began to occur above the earth. Evil spirits, ghosts, curses, extraordinary beings, etc. just appeared."
You pressed the sword and said: "The time is not right."
"I know, but what if? "Feng Youyun consulted the Special Affairs Bureau about some matters before hiring four players, and cautiously said: "The Special Affairs Bureau has similar records. Even before the killing scene came, there were some specious things that no one could explain clearly. unusual events.”
"Yes, there are, but very few. The probability is about the same as that of an ordinary person winning a big prize when buying a lottery ticket for the first time."
You pressed the sword and curled his lips and said: "That charlatan, do you still have his contact information? Did you pay him at that time?"
Old Feng shook his head, "At that time, the total amount of ritual instruments, rituals, incense fees, etc. totaled more than 800,000 yuan. Maybe. The alchemist was introduced by a friend of a friend. I haven’t contacted him since, and I don’t know his name or address.”
This sounds like he was deceived. Moreover, he is still the kind of charlatan who is not very clever in his methods. He is afraid that his employer will react and call the police, so he is busy running away.
You Bingjian complained silently in his heart when he heard the words, but he did not say any words to ridicule.
Ten years ago, there was no special affairs bureau, nor a group of selectors. Ordinary rich bosses would easily panic when encountering such mysterious things.
You pressed the sword and asked: "By the way, Mr. Feng, I would like to ask, where is the child you adopted from your enemy's family now?"
"You have already met him. That’s the housekeeper here, Zhao Xinglang.”
“Huh?” You raised his eyebrows, “You take your enemy’s child with you and let him take care of his daily life?”
He didn't say the second half of the sentence. He probably thought that Old Feng thought his life was too big?
"Xinglang is different. Before his father jumped off the building, he fed him pesticides and tried to poison him. Later, he was rescued. He has always been taciturn and doesn't like to socialize. I asked him to study business and manage a company, but he didn't go. . So let him stay at home for a long time."
Lao Feng said: "This child is kind-hearted and will not hurt his family."
Well, just be happy.
"The curse ten years ago is most likely false, and it is hard to say what happened this time."
Bai Zhi said softly: "Mr. Feng, your grandson's symptoms are caused by There are bruises for no reason, what about your son?”
Lao Feng said: "He started having nightmares a month ago, dreaming that he was lying on the bed as a ghost, and a skinless person was crawling towards him."
He paused and said doubtfully: "But since this After returning to his hometown for two days, he has never had a similar nightmare."
The four players looked at each other and shrugged disapprovingly, "Although the scanner did not detect abnormal fluctuations, this Bai Zhi. The girl also said that she didn't sense any traces of the curse, but we should still follow the method of dealing with abnormal events.
Boss Feng, please make arrangements. You and your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson's family will live in two similar rooms tonight. Don’t close the door. What do you think?” All family members can be sent to the family compound of the Special Affairs Bureau, where they will be protected by dedicated personnel 24 hours a day without fear of abnormal harassment.
As for now, it seems that this method can only be used.
————
There was no words all night. Four players took turns to keep vigil in the corridor. They did not encounter any strange things. Lao Feng’s son Xiao Feng did not have nightmares, and his grandson Xiao Xiao There were no inexplicable bruises on Feng's body.
When they woke up, the Feng family members were all in good spirits. After breakfast, Lao Feng was in the villa sorting out some corporate materials that would be used to participate in the World Internet Conference. The dark, muscular man [Wang Bei Slope] stayed in the villa to protect her.
Li Sheng and two others followed Xiao Feng's family and drove an SUV to the town.
After earning 240 game currency points in two days, Li Shengchun came as a tourist at public expense. Along the way, he admired the scenery of the Jiangnan water town through the car window.
Wudun Town has a dense water network and houses are built along the river. Since the Internet Conference is about to be held, there are many foreigners, tourists, reporters, Internet celebrity anchors, and some tour guides introducing Wudun Town on the street.
“Wudun Town may not be the most prosperous town, but it must be the most modern and intelligent town. The Internet of Things is everywhere here, and the whole town is controlled by a supercomputer ranked among the top ten in the country. Electricity, network, lighting and even water levels. Yes, the water level of the river here can also be controlled by computers, so the air conditioners in the houses along the river dare to be set so low."
"Wudun Town is the national Internet hub. Where cutting-edge technologies are first applied, autonomous driving, drone delivery, and intelligent garbage classification are already in practical use. In addition, there are also the most advanced meteorological systems, including but not limited to radiation observation, wind energy observation, and three-dimensional lightning real-time positioning. ”
Listening to the tour guide’s introduction, Li Sheng suddenly noticed a familiar figure on the roadside.
Yuan Zhixia? What is she doing here.
After thinking about it, Li Sheng sent her a friend message, [Have you come to Wudun Town? 】
Yuan Zhixia, who was holding a camera and pretending to be a passing tourist, paused slightly and replied, [The World Internet Conference has many experts, scholars, entrepreneurs, and politicians participating, and the Special Affairs Bureau is needed to maintain law and order. . Are you also in Wudun Town? 】
【Well, there is a pen protection type of commission. 】
Li Sheng and Yuan Zhixia chatted casually and learned that not only the Special Affairs Bureau, but also Whale Song Guild, Prometheus and other organizations had sent people to attend the Internet conference. The density of extraordinary people in the town is quite high.
This is also understandable. In the script mission, the player can be a knight who kills one person in ten steps or a demon who dominates an area, but after returning to the real world, he still has his own life and work. Some players, even though they have hundreds or even thousands of game coins in their hands, still work as screws in factories, as mall security guards, or as Didi drivers, just to relieve the pressure of survival caused by the killing field.
"Boom——"
There was a muffled thunder in the distant sky, and the baby who was awakened by the thunder began to cry. Xiao Feng and his wife in the car hurriedly scrambled He was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for pacifiers and bottles.
You Benjian, who was in the driver's seat, glanced at the young couple and asked casually: "You two got married very early?"
"Yes." Xiao Feng, a second-generation rich man, was quite shy and scratched his head in embarrassment. "I got the certificate at the beginning of this year as soon as I reached the marriage age."
He and his wife Fu Jirong have known each other since childhood. We are childhood sweethearts, the man is 22 years old and the woman is 20 years old. It is rare for Kochi families in modern society to get married so early, let alone have children so soon.
According to Fu Jirong, Xiao Feng was born in a private hospital invested by the Feng family through in vitro fertilization. Xiao Feng was in good health when he was a child. He had a fever that persisted for a long time until he was twelve years old. Physical health plummeted.
Get married as early as possible and have children as early as possible, so you can have fewer worries. This is also what Lao Feng meant. Their family really has hundreds of millions of assets waiting to be inherited.
“That’s it”
You pressed the sword thoughtfully. What this meant was that Old Feng encouraged his son to get married and have children as soon as possible. Isn't he afraid of the curse of having no descendants? Or does he think that if he gets his grandson early, he can erase the existence of the curse?
The dull thunder sounded again from the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain. It happened that there were no diapers in the car that could be changed, so he turned the steering wheel of the car with his sword and drove a few people towards the villa in the mountain.
While the vehicle was driving on the tree-lined road, Xiao Feng's cell phone suddenly rang. It was from Zhao Xinglang, the housekeeper of the villa and Lao Feng's adopted child.
After the call was connected, the voice on the other side was extremely noisy, as if it had been affected by electromagnetic interference, "I, you, please, hurry up."
"Hello? Hello?"
< br>
Xiao Feng was about to ask when the other end of the phone hung up abruptly. He put down the phone and saw the three strangers in the car tensing up their expressions at the same time and looking ahead seriously.
When they arrived at the mountain villa, they saw Zhao Xinglang standing inside the iron fence, with a large pool of blood-stained debris at his feet. He held up his mobile phone in his hand and kept talking, looking dazed and sluggish.
He looked straight ahead as if he hadn't seen the vehicle. Suddenly, his body expanded rapidly, like an inflated balloon, becoming round, and then burst with a bang.
Plasma, minced meat, and bone spurs splash. A large amount of blood, water and visceral fragments were sprinkled on the windshield of the SUV. The wipers sensed "rain" and automatically turned on, spreading the blood evenly.
After being stunned for two seconds, Xiao Feng’s wife belatedly screamed. You pressed the sword and reversed without hesitation, driving the SUV back to the tree-lined road. At the same time, he turned on the wiper water spray switch to wipe away the scarlet on the windshield.
"Xinglang. Is dead?!" Xiao Feng was still in great shock. He reacted suddenly and said excitedly, "My dad, my dad is still in the villa."
"Don't make any noise." You pressed his sword and pursed his lips, "Your father's mission is to protect his family. I will send you to a safe area in the town first, and then go back to rescue him."
I'm afraid, it's already too late.
Li Sheng glanced at the communication interface between him and Yuan Zhixia, and a line of large characters appeared on it, [Friend communication is temporarily unavailable].
There is no signal on the mobile phone and the GPS positioning is invalid. To make matters worse, the vehicle has clearly backed up a thousand meters and has long exceeded the length of the boulevard, but there is still no outside road in sight.
"We are trapped."
Bai Zhi took a deep breath, took out the drone from the backpack, and flew it out of the car window, constantly climbing to observe the surrounding scene.
The traces of human civilization such as roads, bridges, telephone poles, etc. that were originally visible have all disappeared, and there are only endless trees that look like copied and pasted trees.
It’s like Stephen King’s novel, “In the Tall Grass.”
"Are ghosts hitting the wall?" Bai Zhi's expression was solemn. Because she has albinism, her face is very white, so I don't know if she was frightened and turned pale.
You pressed the sword and shook his head and said: "Ordinary ghosts can't hit the wall on such a large scale, let alone the friend communication function of the shielding system."
"Shielding the system." Bai Zhi said in astonishment: "That's right. What level can be achieved? Lv30, Lv40? "
"It's not as high-end as you think. My boss and a colleague can achieve similar effects by using Shadow World and some enchantments. Do it easily."
You pressed the sword and said casually, took out a piece of gray parchment and tore it open.
This parchment is called [Shadow Realm Scroll]. It is a best-selling item in the back streets, a rare quality, and a consumable prop. Its specific effect is to pull the surrounding environment into the shadow world.
The parchment was torn open, and nothing happened. It was obvious that some kind of barrier had been formed in this place, which did not allow the Shadow Realm to exist at the same time.
Li Sheng secretly tried the ability of traveling through the shadow world given by the Mo Cai Spider, but it also failed to take effect.
"It is estimated that the existence that created this barrier killed Zhao Xinglang."
Yu pressed his sword and said: "When I accepted this mission, I made an agreement with my friends in the guild After that, I will be contacted every hour, and it will be just 10 minutes after the last contact. That means that within 50 minutes at the latest, they will know about my disappearance and report to the Special Affairs Bureau. We can wait here for 50 minutes. Wait for the special affairs bureau to come over."
The system prompts interrupted You's words.
