Chapter 1123 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 46)
Xie Chenzhou looked at her slightly pale face, raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair with a tender touch.
"It's all over. The evidence is conclusive, the motive is clear, and the child's identity has been verified. Our mission is complete."
After speaking, Xie Chenzhou looked up at the sky, and his originally cold expression became visibly much more relaxed.
His fingertips unconsciously caressed the lingering warmth of Miao Miao's palm on his hand. He slowly raised his head and began to review the mission to the light screen in mid-air, each word precisely corresponding to the mission requirements, for fear of missing any crucial information.
"The murderer is Harris, and the motive is a psychological distortion caused by a distorted family background..."
Xie Chenzhou recounted precisely what he had just told Miaomiao, leaving almost nothing out.
As soon as he finished speaking, the numbers on the light blue, semi-transparent countdown panel, which had been steadily ticking, suddenly froze for a moment, as if the system was rapidly verifying information. Then, a slightly broken mechanical voice came through, and the whole world fell into a state of stillness.
Congratulations to the player for deciphering the game's plot and finding the real culprit.
Verify the motive and information of the crime.
interest.
Given that the player's decoding speed was the fastest across the entire network after the game difficulty was increased, exceeding the mission target, the game will reward each player with 2 Warrior Stars, 10 days of health, and trigger a residence upgrade reward.
This game may seem simple, but in reality, over the years, the number of players killed by Harris alone is countless, not to mention those who ran outside and got blown up.
If the investigation had gone on for a long time, they might have found out that an unknown man named Harris was the murderer, but this man was calm enough and had nothing to do with the case.
Luna's fiancé, her jealous neighbor, and even the supermarket manager are all highly suspicious of the crime. A normal person would investigate those people first. If the game didn't know that it was created by itself and that all the characters were made by absorbing the soul power of each other, it would have suspected that the game's secrets had been leaked.
Why would that player suddenly want to meet someone unrelated to the case? Why was he so certain the other person was a bad guy after only one meeting, and why, despite being able to force his way in, he didn't get killed by the bomb because of his vigilance?
Every step should have presented problems, yet every step passed safely.
There were so many more, so many traps set, but it seems none of them were ever used.
Even though the game was unwilling, all they could do was smile and give out the rewards.
A bright light suddenly descended, dazzling but not scorching. Miaomiao instinctively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was no longer in the bustling police station or the old world.
Now she and Xie Chenzhou were teleported to the main street outside. It had gotten dark sometime earlier. Under the streetlights, occasionally someone would look at them with malice, but they would shrink back under Miaomiao and Xie Chenzhou's expressionless stares.
Miaomiao felt something in her hand. Looking down, she saw two marble-like Warrior Stars in her hand. They were cold and hard to the touch. Including the ones she had accumulated before, she now had exactly seven in her hand.
Beside him, Xie Chenzhou also had two brand-new Warrior Stars lying in his palm. These were the second Warrior Stars he had obtained after giving all his Warrior Stars to Tan Jiashu. If you count the original six, there should be eight, but now he only had two left.
Having been in this world for only five days, Xie Chenzhou and Miaomiao have grown at an almost savage pace, which has been perceived by the mirror world in the shadows.
However, the mirror world is ultimately limited by the rules of the game and can only be passively recorded.
It can secretly turn other players against them, but it cannot take action against players who complete tasks in accordance with the rules, nor can it deprive them of the predetermined rewards.
The two men possessed different auras, and even though some people guessed that they probably had the Warrior's Star, no one dared to actually step forward to snatch it, which gave the two men time to find a safe place to stay.
Xie Chenzhou didn't even bother to look around. He simply took Miaomiao's hand and went back to the game building. They found an empty room next to the game room on the second floor and moved in.
Miaomiao was invited by Xie Chenzhou to stay with him again, out of curiosity about what Xie Chenzhou's house had been upgraded to. However, when she came in, she found that it was not much different from before.
They endured a whole night of torment in the game, but outside of the game, it was actually only about seven hours.
Miaomiao didn't think too much about it and continued to stay at Xie Chenzhou's house. After pushing open the door, she looked around and saw that the living room and bedroom were still the same as before, without any signs of upgrading. She then raised her eyes in confusion.
Didn't they say it was going to be upgraded?
Miaomiao couldn't see any upgrades. Maybe the space was bigger, but what about the rest?
She was just too tired to investigate things that weren't really related to the game.
Only Xie Chenzhou himself knew that the changes to his residence were enormous. In fact, he only realized today that the upgraded house was the greatest reward this mirror world had given him.
The area within this house is large enough to truly accommodate everything, and it is fearless of space and time.
The reward is hidden beneath the surface, but very few people actually manage to take it away.
"At most one more time," Xie Chenzhou pondered. "Perhaps this enormous space can be carried with me, and it can even take me back to that world."
What could be more exhilarating than becoming the owner of a house and keeping a mistress in it?
He had fulfilled his wish of having his beloved girl in his pocket. The only question was whether his beloved girl would be willing to have him by her side every day.
They prepared some simple food, and neither of them said anything more.
Miaomiao was especially tired. After experiencing the cellar prison and Harris's disgusting experience, Miaomiao desperately needed a warm bed to warm her body. So, after chatting for a few words about nothing important, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Although only about seven hours had passed in the mirror world due to the change in time and space, they had been in the game world for more than a day before.
So when Miaomiao lay down on the bed, a wave of exhaustion washed over her, and she quickly fell asleep.
However, in her sleep, Miaomiao fell into that dark cellar again. Harris pressed closer, his rough hands trying to grab her wrists, attempting to imprison her once more.
Without the verbal attacks from the game, Miaomiao felt her fists harden again, and instinctively threw a punch...
Miaomiao was awakened by birdsong outside the window after daybreak.
She pushed open the bedroom door and bumped into Xie Chenzhou sitting on the living room sofa. He looked somewhat unnatural, deliberately avoiding her gaze, and his jawline was tense.
"morning."
Miaomiao greeted him casually, but her gaze paused as it swept across his face. She noticed that Xie Chenzhou's left cheek was slightly swollen, with a bluish-purple tinge around his cheekbone. It looked painful, and his usual sharp and handsome features had softened, replaced by a somewhat clumsy and approachable charm...
"I just went out and someone slapped me in the face."
Xie Chenzhou's words were a classic case of "protesting too much"...
