The Lightless Sea 36

The game system keeps showing new prompts.

“[Task Content]: Investigate the murder case of the cultist.”

“It is detected that the subject of the investigation is dead, and your mission is considered complete.”

“[Investigation progress]: 100%.”

“When faced with a murderer with extraordinary abilities, you remained calm, turned passive into active, and executed the mission target on the spot. During the mission, you showed acumen, calmness and wisdom far beyond ordinary people. Your tactical quality is outstanding. It’s beyond the reach of ordinary people.”

“You completed the mission brilliantly. As a lone wolf without teammates, you are the only winner of this mission.”

“Based on your mission performance, you have been awarded the title [Stalker].”

“[Stalker]: You are a hunter with super-intuition, and any prey you target will not escape your tracking and hunting. You can use this title to speak in the forum, such as using the title, before your forum nickname The ‘Stalker’ prefix will be added.”

Kai Xin took a deep breath.

Killing Fang Zhi with her own hands was a choice she made. At present, it seems that her choice is extremely correct.

Once a player dies, the information will be notified by the forum. From the moment Kai Xin decided to clean up the pollutants around him, he was thinking, how can he avoid being notified by the forum while killing people?

She thought about it for a long time, and planned to take a little risk to try to cause an accidental death. She couldn’t kill with her own hands, but had to use other things to kill her prey, such as letting him drown, falling down to his death… But Kai Xin didn’t know If the human factor of the cause of death is also taken into account by the judgment standard of the game system, then her plan will not work.

Therefore, Kai Xin needs to take a risk to do a test, to test the judgment standard of the game system, and to test whether the death notification of the game system can be avoided.

However, Fang Zhi’s extraordinary ability dispelled Kai Xin’s plans.

If his ability is related to file reading and resetting, then she will deprive him of his extraordinary ability even at the risk.

With such extraordinary abilities, Kai Xin has a greater guarantee of survival.

She cherishes her life very much. In such a dangerous situation in the second world, she has no way to protect herself. Life is a game that cannot be played again. She doesn’t want to risk her life. Dan Fang Zhi’s death wheelReturning can give her a chance to start again, increase her game fault tolerance rate, and give her the chance to fight back and restart in extreme situations.

Kai Xin hoped that he would never trigger the cycle of death.

She hates death. Once she really triggers the death cycle, it means that she has been cornered, an unprecedented corner. Kai Xin wants her life to go smoothly, so that those people and things that can threaten her will never appear.

Kai Xin could imagine that after Fang Zhi’s death information was reported, there would be a new round of storms on the forum, but the first thing to do was not to turn over the phone to read the forum, but to dispose of the corpse.

She looked at the human corpses after visiting the xenobiotic herbarium in the basement of the investigation building, and her mood was quite stable.

Just as Kai Xin reached out to move the corpse, a blood blister appeared on the skin of Fang Zhi’s corpse.

She had a premonition that something was wrong and abruptly withdrew her hand, and then retreated a long distance away.

One after another, blood bubbles appeared continuously on the surface of the corpse’s skin. After a while, the corpse melted into a pool of blood, and a ball of blood-soaked clothes was quietly spread on the ground.

“Is this… the natural dissolution of the alien blood after being killed?” Kai Xin was stunned.

Shu Xuyao ​​mentioned this to her in the follow-up work. Only those with highly digested blood will automatically dissolve after death. However, this type of people with different blood still cannot escape the curse of body mutation and death.

Fang Zhi was an exception. Not only did he digest the divine blood to a high degree, but his body was not deformed.

Kui Xin was silent.

It’s a good thing that she doesn’t have to deal with the corpse, it can save her a lot of effort.

Next, as long as Fang Zhi’s clothes and blood stains left on the ground are disposed of, everything will be fine, and there is no need to clean it too much, because the traces of the corpse have disappeared. There is a strict process for determining death, and one of the important criteria is the corpse. Death cannot be determined without finding the body or fragments of the body. Who would have thought that the body had turned into blood? Even soaking sulfuric acid can’t make traces so clean.

If someone really investigates here in the later stage, they can only judge from the bloodstains that there was a fierce fight here, but they cannot judge whether the person is dead or not.

Kai Xin squatted down and wiped off the blood on the knife with Fang Zhi’s leftover clothes. But blood is difficult to wipe off, so Kai Xin left the tobacco factory and found a pool to clean the kitchen knives. When no blood was visible on the surface of the kitchen knives, she pinned the knives to her waist.

The knife cannot be discarded at will. Although her knife seems to be cleaned, there will be a lot of genetic information on it that cannot be discerned by the human eye. The handle was engraved with the brand of the kitchen utensil, and if someone found the knife, it would be likely to track her down based on that.

With a knife in hand, it is impossible to take the subway home.

Kai Xin took care of the scene and took advantage of the rain and cloudy weather to use the shadows to shuttle back home.

At the same time that Kai Xin received the mission completion notification, the players in the Jingchu region who also accepted the mission of investigating the murder of the believers like her also received the mission notification issued by the game system.

“It was detected that the investigation target is dead.”

“The player in the same area as you has completed the mission one step ahead of you, and your mission will be considered a failure.”

“…”

A city in the south of the Jingchu region.

“Who is it?” The man with a calm demeanor looked thoughtfully at the rainstorm outside the window.

Jinshui City.

“Someone killed Fang Zhi?” The pale-skinned young man lowered his head and murmured, “I was preempted by someone… I haven’t had the chance to test my extraordinary ability yet.”

Tonglin City.

Su Rong bit her lips nervously: “The target of the investigation is dead…Fang Zhi is dead, the forum will definitely report…Yes, let me see.”

She opened the forum, and sure enough, she saw a new death notification post marked red on the top of the forum. There is only one line on the first floor of this post – “Proctor No. 1286, killed by Depriver No. 233 on July 29.”

“Oh my god!” Su Rong was dumbfounded.

Su Rong took this task out of curiosity. The game system didn’t mention any punishment for mission failure, nor did it say any rewards for mission success, so Su Rong took it boldly. In fact, she didn’t even think about completing the mission, she just wanted to take the mission to join in the fun…

Now Su Rong has joined in this excitement – and made a big splash!

If agent No. 1286 is Fang Zhi, and Fang Zhi is in Tonglin City, then Depriver No. 233 is the one who killed him… In other words, Depriver No. 233 is also in Tonglin City? !

Su Rong hugged the goosebumps on her arms, and muttered with a pale face, “Don’t panic, don’t panic, Depriver No. 233 must be targeting Fang Zhi, he doesn’t know me, doesn’t know that I’m a player…etc Wait, he might know Su Rong, a star from the Second World?”

She almost cried in fright, and decided not to go out for the whole summer vacation, but to stay at home and study hard.

Su Rong refreshed the forum page, and with a bang, dozens of new posts popped up.

The title of the post with the highest number of replies is: “Beware of Depriver No. 233!!! The first time TA killed people may be explained by accident or coincidence, but what about the second time? I have reason to believe that TA killed someone with a purpose and a choice. Hunt and kill players!”



When Kai Xin got home, she took off her clothes and took a bath, then boiled a pot of boiling water, threw the clothes she wore and the knives she used when she killed people today into the pot and boiled them in boiling water.

Various horror movies and crime dramas often show the murderer dismembering the victim’s corpse and boiling it. This is to prevent the genetic information on the corpse from being identified by the police using technological means to determine the identity of the victim.

Kai Xin is doing the same thing now, removing the possible bloodstainsOr the clothes and knives of human tissue are boiled to completely destroy any remaining substances on them.

After the clothes are cooked, she will dry them and tear a few holes, pretending that they are accidentally damaged and cannot be worn, and then throw them into the trash can downstairs in the community.

As for the knife, she will leave it in the kitchen openly. Of course, she will not use this knife to cut vegetables.

She also dislikes the pots used to cook clothes and knives. In the future, they should be placed at the bottom of the cupboard to be completely unused. There are a few spare pots and utensils at home, which are enough for cooking.

While waiting for the clothes to boil, Kai Xin was about to open the forum to check the situation, but suddenly the phone buzzed a few times, and a call came in.

When Kai Xin saw the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat.

“Hello, is this Ms. Kuixin? This is…” The male operator on the other end of the phone reported the address of the street police station where Kuixin was located.

“Hello, what’s the matter?” Kai Xin said politely.

“It’s like this. The city monitoring system found that you followed a man for a long distance when you passed Baihua Avenue this morning. The man was 1.81 meters tall, with a strong build and a strong physique. Wearing a gray jacket, black trousers, and a sun hat… Do you have any impression?”

“…Yes.” Kai Xin said carefully, “I thought there was something wrong with this man at the time. He looked a bit like a murderer reported on the news, so I followed him to observe for a while, but he turned around. Asked me why I followed him, I saw that he was not as straightforward as a murderer, so I didn’t follow anymore…he can’t really be a murderer, right?”

“He is.” The operator said, “Please recall carefully and tell us in which direction the suspect left. This will be of great help to our breakthrough in the case.”

“I only remember that he walked south.” Kai Xin said.

“Is there any other information?” the operator asked.

“Not anymore.” Kai Xin lied without changing his expression.

The operator asked a few other questions, and Kai Xin answered every question in a seamless and ambiguous manner, with a very confused and surprised tone.

In the end, the operator said: “Thank you for the information you provided. If there is anything else to ask you later, we will continue to call you.”

After the phone hung up, Kai Xin fell into deep thought.

Before she could think for three seconds, another communication call came in.

Kai Xin saw that it was still the phone number of the local police station.

She connected suspiciously, and heard a female voice on the phone saying, “Hello, we are from the Tonglin City Police Station. This morning you are at…”

“Uh.” Kai Xin paused, “Didn’t you call the police station just now?”

The woman on the other end of the phone asked blankly, “Haven’t our police station called you?”
