Asking his subordinates to continue investigating the person who sent the flowers, Qiao Dong entered the community with a birthday card. When Shen Yunzhe opened the door, he saw a half-eaten takeaway on the table.
It must be very unpalatable, I didn't even take a few bites of rice.
Qiao Dong put the birthday blessing card he picked up on the table and pushed it in front of him, "There is something I want to tell you."
"explain."
"This handwriting is very similar to Shen Wei's." Qiao Dong said, "At least it's very similar to his handwriting before he disappeared."
Shen Yunzhe glanced at Qiao Dong in confusion. After a few seconds, he saw that Qiao Dong was not going to explain before he spoke, "What do you mean? Are you telling me that Shen Wei is not dead? Are you still here to send me birthday wishes today?"
"I don't know anything." Qiao Dong spread his hands, "I'm just telling you the facts."
"Does anyone know about my relationship with Shen Wei, so they created an illusion that Shen Wei is still there? Do you want me to find him?" Shen Yunzhe picked up the blessing card and looked around, "But generally speaking, this kind of thing is not Should I write the address on the card? Not so."
Qiao Dong was helpless, "I wouldn't expect you to just throw it into the trash can after receiving the gift."
"I don't accept things from strangers." Shen Yunzhe replied seriously: "Especially things without signatures, it's too troublesome."
Qiao Dong laughed, "Sensitive is a good thing."
The people present were all smart people, and there was no way they would be fooled by such a small calculation. They had already made a decision about Shen Wei's life and death, and they would not have any luck that Shen Wei was still alive. Shen Yunzhe was more realistic, He has passed the age of longing for his family and will not get dizzy because of it.
Just then Qiao Dong's cell phone rang. He and Shen Yunzhe nodded and turned to leave.
He didn't answer the phone until he walked out of Shen Yunzhe's house.
"Hello?"
"He's caught."
"So fast?"
"The other party didn't hide at all. He just stood at the intersection waiting for us to catch him. But he was unwilling to say anything. He said that he could only say it if Shen Yunzhe was present."
Qiao Dong thought for a while, "I understand, you take the people back first, I will go back in a while."
Meeting Shen Yunzhe?
He is not stupid, his brain is not broken, and what kind of new type of human is he facing? He actually thinks that he can meet with Shen Yunzhe just because he asked to meet with him. Doesn't this make the official look very embarrassed? Let him see the official methods.
In the living room, Shen Yunzhe threw away the takeout. Although it was suspected of being a waste, it was really unpalatable and he couldn't eat it anymore.
Although it was winter, Shen Yunzhe would not let the garbage sit for more than two days. He packed up the garbage and leftover takeaways and was about to go out and throw them away. At this moment, he paused slightly and a gust of cold wind blew over from the balcony. , a strange man stood there.
The man politely closed the window for Shen Yunzhe.
Shen Yunzhe looked at him, took out his phone from his pocket and pressed 110.
"Wait a minute! I'm not burglarizing the house!" The man shouted quickly: "Don't call the police, I'm just here to say a few words to you!"
Shen Yunzhe said: "There is a door over there, and you still climb through the window. This is home invasion and robbery."
"I definitely didn't mean it!"
"My house lives on the tenth floor. If you would rather climb the tenth floor than walk through the door, you are committing a burglary."
"Don't you want to know where your father is?!" the man shouted quickly.
Shen Yunzhe dialed 110, "I don't want to."
The man didn't expect this outcome. He rushed over and tried to grab the mobile phone in Shen Yunzhe's hand. As a result, Shen Yunzhe turned away and gave him an elbow directly on his chest. The man almost vomited in pain and felt that his ribs were all broken. It's going to break.
no no? Is he so powerful in combat? !
After Shen Yunzhe made the call to the police, the man coughed and knelt on the ground and looked at Shen Yunzhe, "I finally managed to get those people away. At least listen to a few words from me!"
Shen Yunzhe looked him up and down, "I don't believe every word a thief who broke into a house said."
"I told you it wasn't a home invasion." The man wailed, covering his ribs. "I didn't lie. I really know your father. I sent the flowers, but your father said he didn't give them to the children before. It's my birthday and I want to send you a bouquet of flowers."
Shen Yunzhe squatted in front of him and looked at him with interest, "Then why did it only arrive today? I have had at least twenty birthdays."
"I couldn't find you." The man gasped softly as he said, "I didn't find you until this year, so I made up for it right away."
"Really, I really know your father, and I really want to give you a birthday gift."
Shen Yunzhe nodded, "Then the gift was given, why did you climb up the window and deliver it to the door? Just to tell me that it was Shen Wei who gave me the gift? You might as well write "understand" on the greeting card."
The man's face was a little ugly, as if he didn't know why he was rounded.
"You have the same talents as your father. You have inherited your father's knowledge and sensitivity to weird things. You can do what Shen Wei can do." The man said: "Shen Yunzhe, you should join us and your Studying the game field like a father."
"The gaming arcades are expanding, and no one can stop it. We can only coexist with the gaming arcades."
"A world where we can live freely even in a game arcade is our future."
The man kept talking, and as he talked he seemed to feel no pain in his chest. He looked at Shen Yunzhe with an obsessed look, "No, you are more precious than your father."
"Shen Wei doesn't understand how correct our theory is. He has rejected us several times. His research cannot be used by the world and can only make profits for a few people. But you are different. You are his work. All his achievements, you It's a doubly profound thing, your existence is a miracle."
Shen Yunzhe thought for a while and asked him, "How do you know that no one can stop the expansion of the game field?"
"We have done countless calculations and conducted countless tests, and we have all come to the same result." The man murmured, "Those game fields are all failed worlds, and those dead people are all once living people. , we can't succeed even if they fail, because there is no way to succeed at all."
"So we need to study the game field, understand the game field thoroughly, and coexist with the game field."
"The current officials are just trying to conceal and stop this. This is simply not possible. Come to us, Shen Yunzhe. We will have a more scientific and effective way." The man completely forgot that his ribs had just been elbowed by Shen Yunzhe. He climbed over and grabbed Shen Yunzhe's hand, "We can create a new world."
Shen Yunzhe took out his hand in disgust, and then said, "Then what are you going to do?"
"How to create this new world?"
"Accelerate the progress of humans entering the game field. This has just begun the first wave of screening. This is a war." The man murmured, "A war of survival of the fittest."
The police kicked open the door, and the policemen in professional gear quickly put their guns on the man's head. The man didn't care at all, and just grabbed Shen Yunzhe's sleeves hard.
"You believe me, you believe me!"
"Our theoryis correct!"
"The official is doing useless work! We have tested it many times, and every time the ending is that the whole world is destroyed by the game field, there is no second possibility! No matter what choice is made, the result is the same!"
"Shen Yunzhe, the official method can only make us all die together!"
The police escorted the man out, and the people behind him hoped that Shen Yunzhe could take notes together. Shen Yunzhe nodded and said that he wanted to wear some clothes.
Shen Yunzhe didn't speak until the police left.
"Did he really mean what he said?"
[You used your ability on him to inspire his true thoughts and intentions. Under the influence of the ability, he will not lie. At least he is telling what he thinks is in his heart. 】
In fact, what this person said is not wrong. After all, all the parallel worlds that Shen Yunzhe knew have been swallowed up by the game field, leaving only this world that is still in the early stages of erosion.
Of all the parallel worlds, only one, codenamed Hope, lives in a small, dark box. He forgets himself and everything in loneliness. It is better to die than to be empty.
【No need to pay attention to his words, you can solve the game field. 】
"Hiss, sometimes I feel that you have an inexplicable confidence in me." Shen Yunzhe took a breath, "No? Just leave this big thing of saving the world to me?"
[You are not ordinary, you have this system, and you also have countless versions of you in parallel worlds. 】
"oh?"
[One person can't do it because one person's ability is limited. A group of people can't do it because everyone's thoughts are different and there will be irreconcilable ruptures. But the same person can do it. You in countless parallel worlds can do it. Create terrible power. 】
[Shen Yunzhe, you can do it. 】
Shen Yunzhe shrugged and reached out to grab a coat and put it on.
Instead of saving the world, he is now going to the police station to take notes.
...
The man was handed over to the authorities before the transcript was completed. During the police interrogation, he kept talking about the benefits of Shen Yunzhe joining and what the world would be like. He kept trying to see Shen Yunzhe. As soon as he saw Shen Yunzhe, he started recruiting.
He said the future of the world is in the hands of the right people, and they are the right people.
When Qiao Dong came, he saw the man struggling towards Shen Yunzhe with handcuffs, and Shen Yunzhe looking at him expressionlessly.
"Sorry, I didn't expect them to be divided into two groups. One of them attracted our attention, and the other went directly to find you." Qiao Dong put the cake next to him, "Although it seems a bit out of place, but... Happy Day."
Shen Yunzhe looked at the cake and said after a moment, "Thank you."
To be honest, Shen Yunzhe has never been wished a happy birthday.
When the cakes were being distributed in the orphanage, the orphans said happy birthday to each other. Everyone knew that it was not their birthday, but even this kind of fake happy birthday was not heard by Shen Yunzhe. Only the dean would. Smile and say happy birthday to him.
In fact, the dean also told others, so it doesn't count as being blessed.
After returning home with the birthday cake, Shen Yunzhe looked at the cake. After a while, he took a photo and posted it on Moments after a long absence.
After a while he heard a notification on his phone.
It's Li Yilun.
【Your birthday? 】
Shen Yunzhe typed, "Why don't you think I took a photo on someone else's birthday?" 】
[Pull it down, just you? Where are the friends from? 】
【. 】
【Happy birthday. 】Li Yilun said: 【I don't know in advance. Without gifts, it's best not to give any gifts to adults. 】
After speaking, Li Yilun transferred the account to him, which was a full two thousand yuan.
For Li Yilun, who loves money as much as his life, this is a waste of money.
Shen Yunzhe quickly collected the money and sent him a thank you emoticon. Then he looked at the cake and thought about how he could eat a whole 8-inch cake by himself. It was too much to finish, but no one gave it to him. Li Yilun didn't like it. Dessert, it would be great if Codename could come out and help him eat it.
Before he could think of a reasonable solution, Shen Yunzhe's cell phone rang again. He took it out and unexpectedly saw Huang Yihua's chat box.
The message from Huang Yihua was very short, only four words: Happy birthday.
Shen Yunzhe replied thank you, and after thinking for a while, he typed a few more words.
【Do you want to eat cake? 】
【I really want to eat, but the doctor won't let me eat desserts. 】Huang Yihua sent an angry emoticon, 【A lot of people here are staring at me. If I take a bite, I'm afraid I'll be scolded and cry. 】
Realizing that he couldn't find anyone to eat the cake with him, Shen Yunzhe opened the cake box. The cake was eight inches. It didn't look too big or too small. At least one person couldn't finish it. Shen Yunzhe took out the plate. , ready to cut the cake.
[Don't you want to make a wish? 】The system asked him.
"No." Shen Yunzhe said, "I am not a delusional person."
The system has become very accustomed to disappearing on the spot after being criticized by him, and will not talk to him for at least a week unless there is no big event.
Cutting the cake open, Shen Yunzhe put one piece on the plate and took a bite. The cake was delicious and not sweet. At least Shen Yunzhe didn't feel tired after eating one piece.
Just when Shen Yunzhe was thinking about which layers of the refrigerator should be placed on the remaining cakes, a call came and the caller was Qiao Dong.
Shen Yunzhe answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Shen Yunzhe, bad news!" Qiao Dong's voice was urgent, and you could hear that he was panting as he seemed to be running, "We have been interrogating the two people who went to send you flowers. I just pried some news out of their mouths."
"They have found the law of strange objects eroding reality, but this law is difficult to find. Yesterday, they definitely found a place where strange objects eroded the reaction!"
Shen Yunzhe thought about his daily life that was always affected by strange objects in reality, and he deeply felt that Li Yilun was right when he said that he was full of bad luck.
"Where? It can't be my home again, right?"
"It's not your home." Qiao Dong said anxiously, "It's not even our city!"
Shen Yunzhe responded, "So where is it?"
"North of Weiyang City, on the outskirts of the city! The area is two kilometers in diameter!"
Shen Yunzhe stood up suddenly, "Are you sure?"
"Don't hang up the phone. I have a call from the police station. This was the only call that was broadcast when the residents there were eroding the playground. After that, the phone communication was cut off!"
Qiao Dong turned on a recording while running, and Shen Yunzhe soon heard the voice on the other side.
"Help, help!" was a woman's hysterical cry for help.
"Hello? What happened?" This was the operator's voice. "This is the Weiyang City Public Security Bureau. Where are you? We will send someone there immediately."
The woman screamed, "Flowers, so many flowers!"
"Flowers bloomed on his chest, and the flowers pierced his heart!"
"Everyone has flowers blooming in their chests!"
The screams stopped suddenly, followed by the operator's panicked call back.
But the only sound that came was that the dialed number was not in the service area.
Shen Yunzhe sat down slowly, and Qiao Dong told him to calm down. The incident of strange objects corroding has been confirmed. The official is sending people there, saying that strange objects are eroding reality faster and faster. Not only here, but also new weird things have appeared in other places. erosion events.
However, the northern part of Weiyang City was the location of his former orphanage.
Not just that...
Shen Yunzhe did not hang up the phone with Qiao Dong. He opened WeChat and found the message he had received a few days ago.
That was the message from Shen Xinlu.
She said that she recently solved a case and was slightly injured, so she was given a leave by the bureau. She did not tell Shen Yunzhe immediately but returned to her hometown. She regarded it as a holiday and went back to see her father. , she was already in her hometown at this time, and Shen Yunzhe was not allowed to see her.
She is now in the north of Weiyang City.
Qiao Dong got in the car, and there were people around him reporting information to him. He knew what Shen Yunzhe was concerned about, and only picked up the phone again after confirming the information.
"Shen Yunzhe, bad news." Qiao Dong said, "The orphanage is within the playground."
Shen Yunzhe closed his eyes and sighed, "Do you know what's going on inside?"
"I don't know at all, I'm very sorry." Qiao Dong apologized, "I don't even know how many people are inside now."
"You don't need to apologize, this has nothing to do with you." Shen Yunzhe said: "I can't control where and when the game arcade appears. I can only say it's bad luck."
According to the system, this is just a matter of time.
The system has speculated that within two years, the entire world will be occupied by game fields.
