"How is that possible!"

"There must be something wrong here."

The two detectives returned to the unit with the investigation results. The captain listened to them explain the situation, "I asked you to handle the missing persons case. Why are you investigating these things?"

"There's something wrong with that institution."

"What's the problem? Just because people save water"

"More than that, captain, you should understand what I'm talking about."

The captain frowned, "If there is really any problem, it's just a big problem. Recently... forget it, what do you want?"

"A thorough investigation of that organization, I mean the scene, there will definitely be something discovered."

"What do you want to do?"

"Prepare an operation tonight and let's go check it out again."

The captain put down the tea cup obediently and said, "Be careful, that's a well-established company."

"Got it, head!"

The adventure prepared for the evening made the detective very excited. Some weird plots were automatically imagined in his mind. He spent the entire afternoon preparing for the evening's... er, adventure. His partner was unaware of it, just like everyone else.

, watching the grand occasion of the online live broadcast and the lively discussion.

The Total War plot has been around for about 10 days now, and the popularity is naturally not as high as the first few days, but as long as nothing happens, colleagues will sit in front of the screen, and the epic battle scenes of swords and magic will make people mesmerized.

.

Nowadays, the combination of offline and online is becoming more and more sophisticated. People like them, for example, receive online-related cases almost every day. In society, offline services include online companies, industries, and

There are so many employees, and there are only 50 million players and tourists, but it has led to the entire society being able to share the benefits of the online metaverse economy.

Professional research data shows that the online economy has become the main engine of the real economy. The online war is going on in a majestic way, while the offline ones have become 'quiet' like the rear, as if all other voices have been suppressed by the online battle.

Replaced by shouting.

Players and tourists have fought hard. The frontline has retreated again and again. What new troops have appeared in the enemy, what new strategic measures have been adopted, what powerful humanoid monsters... There are many treasures offline, even the enemy's leapfrog tactics and focused attacks.

Various resurrection points on the battlefield have also been focused on analysis by military experts and academies.

Not to mention the hygienic media and self-media platforms.

We have become accustomed to it offline, just like these colleagues, who are accustomed to watching online information after finishing their own work.

The Magic Network and the system have become well known to women and children. Online vocabulary and common sense concepts have also injected a series of new definitions and new terms into reality.

In the evening, the sky turned dark, and the whole city entered a period of immersion after the hustle and bustle. Under the influence of the all-out war, the nightlife became much more low-key, and everyone went home to watch the live broadcast.

"Lao Li, how are you?"

"What the hell, I don't understand. Why am I just messing around with you in a daze?"

"Hey, I'll definitely find something, trust me."

"At this time, I am following the live battle of Battlefield No. 4 for many days."

"The same goes for watching the video tomorrow."

"How could you really do that and sneak in secretly?"

"Well, look at that tree, enter from that way, the camera is broken."

"It's funny if you get caught."

"There is no way, who told the captain not to let things be done openly and honestly?"

The sky has darkened, the pedestrians and vehicles on the street have become sparse, and the shops facing the street are not very popular. It seems that everyone has gone home and stayed in front of the TV.

On the surface it should be depressed, but the city's temperament has indeed become much quieter from the previous bustle.

Many high-rise buildings turn dark as soon as they arrive at this store. Except for the colorful lights used for decoration outside, the inside looks like a tomb.

Speaking of tombs, this institution is very similar.

The two of them climbed a tree and entered the courtyard. It went smoothly at first and they didn't meet anyone. Except for the dim light from the street lamp provided by a feeble provider, the office building where they were going to focus on the investigation was completely dark. Only the guard room at the gate was still lit.

"What's going on?"

It started to fog up before even entering the building. An inexplicable atmosphere made the young detective's heart beat faster. Suddenly he had a strong feeling. He looked up subconsciously. In the fog, in the dark building, lights suddenly lit up on every floor.

A figure walked in front of the lighted window, his posture stiff.

"Coming, coming!"

"What's coming?"

"I can't tell..."

"What now?"

“Go in and have a look”

"Just walk in?"

The plan of sneaking in quietly failed. The young detective, with his heart beating like thunder, took his partner and walked into the foyer on the first floor in an open and aboveboard manner.

In the transparent revolving door, a staggering figure with his head lowered was staggered by the belt of the revolving door. When he looked up, the young detective's scalp was numb and he was numb.

"Are you here for an interview?"

This is a mummy, the kind that is all skin and bones.

The young detective almost drew his gun, but his partner kept calm and held his hand down, "Yes, we are here for an interview."

"Second floor!"

The mummy said as he staggered past them and staggered down the steps.

"Old, old Li"

"Go in?"

The young detective gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Curiosity killed the cat!" the old detective sighed quietly.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing... don't make a fuss about anything you see later. We'll talk about everything after we go out."

"Lao Li, do you know anything?"

"Stop asking."

Except for the beautiful front desk lady I saw during the day, the building almost continued the same as it was during the day. Everyone, every window, and every office were working 'as usual', because they were doing online business, and the online customer service was standard and mechanical.

The responses came one after another.

But sitting in the partition on the first floor were all mummified corpses.

"The interview is on the second floor!"

"Oooh!"

"The elevator is over there!"

In the elevator, the young detective discovered that there was an additional negative layer on the button.

"Old Li!"

"...They say curiosity killed the cat!"

"Would you like to go down and take a look?"

"Are you sure?"

"I have a feeling that the truth must be hidden underneath."

"Oh well!"

So, the button on the negative layer is pressed.

With a ding, the elevator started to move.
Chapter completed!
