Chapter 759: Offline Meeting
The mod said very scary things in a casual tone. Finding the difference was amon game, but the picture the admin provided was of someone being tortured. The differences were the torture being done to his body. It was very scary.
For normal people, they’d have nightmares from just ncing at the picture. The mod was very generous to give Han Fei a full minute. To the mod’s surprise, Han Fei only used ten seconds to find 25 differences in the picture.
The mod was stunned. They had an internal system to discern a person’s twistedness based on how long it took to find all the differences. If one took one minute to find 10 differences, they were mentally unhinged; if one took one minute to find 15 differences, they were twisted; if one took one minute to find all 25 differences, they were evil mad people.
“10 seconds and found all 25 differences.” The mod was nervous. He knew he was dealing with a monster.
“Is there a problem?” Han Fei was used to seeing gore in the cryptic world. “Did I miss anything? I’ve used five seconds to check before I handed in my answer.”
“You even used five seconds to check your answer first?” The mod didn’t dare to ask too much. His tone was more respectful. “You got full marks for the first games, but we have more mini-games for you to try.”
The mod decided to give Han Fei more tests because one game was not enough to tell everything. He sent Han Fei games like hide-and-seek, puzzle, and so on. He had no idea that Han Fei’s first case was a human jigsaw puzzle, he had no idea that Han Fei had a talent called Hide-and-seek, and Han Fei’s talent was in Art Appraisal. He cleared all the games wlessly. After a few simple tests, the mod was greatly impressed. This was the first time he felt like worshipping someone.
“Do you have other mini games?” Han Fei found them to be quite rxing after ying Perfect Life.
“That’s all.” The mod sent a sweat emoji. He understood Han Fei’s spot on the food chain. “We’ll have a small offline meeting tomorrow night. Many mods and chat group leaders will be there. Would you like to join us?”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’d go and murder all of you?” Sunny Boy replied.
“I like your humor. If you think you’re that capable, you can try.” The mod pulled Han Fei into another chat. This new chat group only had 20 people. They were all mods and managers of other chat groups. “We’ll have a new member for our next offline meeting. He is Sunny Boy.”
While they greeted each other, Han Fei used all his means to check the info of the other members. They were basically the central members of the Death Chat Group. Han Fei did find something useful.
Everyone in the group used a codename. The manager of this group was someone called Guinea Pig. Han Fei remembered Bu Kaixin said that Mr. Xia had been wearing a guinea pig mask. Other than that, a mod called Death also grabbed Han Fei’s attention. This person showed great interest in art and singing. Every one of their murder was highly artistic. “I’ve met a woman in a Death Mask at the murderer’s clubhouse. Based on what the police found out, she could be a singer.” These murderers lived their lives with a mask, but their acting skills were nothingpared to Han Fei. Through analysis of mannerisms and verbal cues, Han Fei gathered more evidence. He wanted to confirm everyone’s identity. After the introduction, the mod who approached Han Fei sent everyone a picture, “This picture will disintegrate after one minute. The meeting address and time are on it. Don’t bete.” The picture was of a young girl whose face was shielded. Her body was submerged in a dark ocean. There was an injured dolphin holding her up. There were five people standing around the girl, a heavily made-up mama-san, a polite white-cor, a tattooed bouncer, an ugly andscivious gangster, and a kind and mature stepfather.
“Who tosses her into the Dolphin Bay?” There was no other hint but the single sentence.
“Dolphin Bay?” Han Fei searched for it online. It used to be a fishing vige but was bought by a mysterious buyer. Based on rumors, people had seen big fish in the bay. They also heard melodic voices that sounded like dolphins. The address was confirmed, and then it was the time.
Han Feipared the facial features of the few people in the picture and immediately found them to be rted to an assault case that happened a few weeks ago. A young girl who lived in the countryside mysteriously disappeared. That day, five people entered her room, and their time of entry was different.
“Is this their way to weed out the non-crazy?” The members left the group. The mod reminded Han Fei not to bete. Actually, Han Fei’s goal for joining the group was very simple. If he couldn’t find the core member, then he’d be the core member. Han Fei left the grey zone and used his phone to call Li Xue. A few secondster, the call was picked. Li Xue’s familiar voice grumbled, “Brother, don’t you need to sleep? Do you know what time is it?”
“I’m sorry. My day and night are a bit inversed.” Han Fei told Li Xue about the case at Dolphin Bay. Li Xue provided him with the info.
“The gangster surrendered but based on our investigation, things were not that simple. Everyone had their own motive. The mama-san suspected that the girl was seducing her boss. The bouncer had a violent tendency. The white-cor worker was mentally unstable. But in the end, we caught the victim’s stepfather. He had no criminal history and was a good person. His motive for killing the girl was that he believed death was salvation for the girl.”
“What time did the man enter the girl’s room?”
“3.50 am. He was thest to enter the room.” The police did detailed research, but this case was not made public. If Han Fei used this info to attend the meeting, the others might know that he was working with the police. This could be a test.
“Thank you.” After that, Han Fei asked Li Xue for another favor. He hoped the police could find Bu Kaixin’s mother. Li Xue hung up and promised to give Han Fei thetest by tomorrow afternoon. Han Fei spent more time on his hobby than a professional police officer.
Dawn wasing, but Han Fei didn’t feel drowsy. He grabbed some food and started to study the B-list singer, Ye Xuan. Han Fei fought with the woman at the clubhouse. She was the only person who could match Han Fei in a real match in real life.
“Ye Xuan, parents divorced. Her mother is an opera singer, and her father is one of the shareholders at Immortal Pharma. She is born rich. She is currently nning to join the singingpetition held by Deep Space Tech and Immortal Pharma…” Han Fei was in the acting circle, so he didn’t know much about the singing stuff. He needed to do more research before he found out how big thepetition was.
Perfect Life’s new yer guide and songs needed a newposition. Deep Space Tech and Immortal Pharma nned to search for the world’s most beautiful voice. As technology improved, autotune could make everyone a great singer. However, singing was meant to showcase human emotions. Therefore, thepetition required the singers to sing without any technological aid. The participants would be anonymous, and everything would be decided by the voice. The chosen one would do the voice-over for a key NPC in Perfect Life and would sing the promo song for Perfect Life. Thepetition was huge, attracting amateur and professional singers.
“Everyone will participate using virtual identities. No one’s real identity will be known. However, with Ye Xuan’s singing ability, she’ll definitely reach the final. I can use this chance to approach her to see if she’s the woman with the Death Mask.”
Han Fei thought for a while and called Seass cat. The kitten who was saved by the devil was so excited when Han Fei said he wanted to participate in the singingpetition. She helped Han Feiplete the registration and even pulled Han Fei to join her singing group.
“You’ve be a lot livelier.” Han Fei was d to see the change in Seass Cat. Wasn’t it his goal to make other people’s lives better and to bring more smiles into the world?
After a simple discussion, the group named the Devil and the Cat was born. Han Fei collected his info and headed to Seass Cat’s ce.
He was busy, so he would leave the first audition to Seass Cat. He nned to find ways to approach Ye Xuan at the finale.
