Chapter 122 The Day of Doomsday (Twenty-Five)
Qiao Yuan had no desire for power, but she knew that this was Sun Ji's way of winning her over. If she didn't agree, Sun Ji, who was wary of absolute leadership, might think that she was not satisfied with her current position and still coveted the other party's leadership position, so she agreed directly.
Compared to her deputy, she actually wanted to know more about the base and the captain of the security team.
After all, from the psychiatrist's words, it can be seen that the captain seems to want to actively suppress this matter, so after thanking him a few times, he deliberately brought the topic back: "I suggest that we should investigate the security captain again. Whether he committed suicide because of a terminal illness or because of this matter, it seems to make no difference. After all, this is just an individual case, and the people in the base will definitely understand..."
She had quickly gotten into the role, and considering Sun Ji's personality, she even deliberately used the word "suggestion", which really made Sun Ji have a better impression of her.
"It's not an isolated case." But after hearing what Qiao Yuan said, Sun Ji's expression became serious: "This is the ninth suicide case that the deputy captain knows about, and several people came to ask for help before they died and said they saw infected people. However, according to the deputy captain, there is no way there is an infected person in this base."
"I suspect these nine cases are just the tip of the iceberg, and many more suicides have been suppressed."
Because Qiao Yuan didn't say anything, the three of them didn't mention the fact that they encountered an infected person last night, or that Qiao Yuan had a similar experience.
Yu Guo raised his hand and asked, "Won't the families of the deceased make a fuss?"
Sun Ji: "Most of these dead entered the base alone, or as a whole family."
As soon as he said this, everyone understood the controllable space.
The former, such as Wang Shui, was just a cohabitant under the same roof and had not known each other for a long time, so the relationship was not deep. The latter just needed to appease the neighbor or find an excuse to move to another place.
Yu Guo responded and his eyes fell on Qiao Yuan beside him, as if he was assessing something.
Qiao Yuan didn't have time to think about Yu Guo's sight. Sun Ji's words reminded her of the two bodies from yesterday. Thinking of the gossips from the neighbors before, she intuitively felt that there was a connection between them, so she asked tentatively: "Are there any other abnormalities among these people who committed suicide?"
Sun Ji: "Yes, the person I know entered the base later. His predecessor, the deputy security captain, also committed suicide. Before he died, he told him that the base was weird and he wanted to leave. But he committed suicide a few days later, so he was just in time to take over."
"I heard from a player who came on the same bus with you that there was an indigenous person on your bus who also stole the ticket from someone who left the base."
After all, it seems strange that he chose to leave the base instead of staying in it.
However, Sun Ji did not plan to continue investigating. For him, it was enough to know that there was something wrong with this base and that he could not stay there for long.
Sun Ji: "Now we know that there is a problem with this base, so we need to find the shadow and a way to change it back as soon as possible. Currently, the person who is most likely to know this method is Hammers... "
Song Yanchi frowned: "You didn't see him through your connections?"
Sun Ji: "Of course not. Hammers is like this every once in a while and doesn't see anyone."
"I'm thinking that if it doesn't work, we can plan to kidnap the Saint Son and Saint Daughter and force Hammos to come out..."
If possible, Sun Ji certainly didn't want to take such a tough approach as if he would make an enemy of the entire base. However, not to mention that it was almost two weeks before the mission deadline, and now the base was not as safe as it seemed, it was better to take a gamble.
The joining of Qiao Yuan and others just made up for his lack of manpower.
Upon hearing Sun Ji's plan, Yu Guo's eyes lit up, and although he hadn't uttered a word yet, he had already made the shape of the word "do".
Qiao Yuan fell into deep thought and did not think this was a good idea. After all, although the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter were raised by Hammos on the surface, they did not know how much family affection there was behind it.
And she always felt that the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter were a little strange.
At this moment, Qiao Yuan suddenly felt the light dim.
The originally clear sky was now covered with dark clouds, and muffled thunder could be heard faintly, as if it was going to rain heavily. But after a while, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the blue sky again.
Song Yanchi was puzzled: "This is..."
No wonder there is no need to establish a weather forecast in the doomsday, after all, the weather is too changeable.
Suddenly, an excited shout came from not far away, and someone seemed to be shouting something.
Because the group was standing in a secluded corner, they naturally couldn't hear clearly.
Then laughter and cheers came like a wave, seemingly sweeping across the entire base in an instant, forming a sharp contrast to the dull atmosphere of the group of people who were discussing.
"What, what happened?" A player from Sun Ji's side asked subconsciously, but no one present could answer his question, after all, everyone was equally surprised.
This was the first time they heard such a reaction from the base since they entered the base.
Qiao Yuan subconsciously wanted to go over to check the situation, but when he caught a glimpse of Sun Ji standing nearby, he stopped where he was.
Fortunately, Sun Ji reacted quickly, turned around and said to everyone, "Let's go and take a look", and then took the lead to walk in the direction where the sound came from.
As he started walking, everyone quickly followed.
The base was always bustling during the day with people coming and going. Although most people looked relaxed, this was the first time that Qiao Yuan saw everyone showing such uniform joy since entering the base. The smiles on their faces could hardly be concealed, and some had already hugged the people around them, crying bitterly, but with happy smiles on their lips.
When they learned that the base was not as safe as it seemed, and now looked at the unified joy on everyone's faces, Qiao Yuan and others inexplicably felt a sense of absurdity and separation in their hearts.
There seemed to be an invisible wall in the air, separating them from this group of happy people.
Qiao Yuan was about to go up to ask, but unexpectedly, after seeing them approaching, the resident closest to them rushed over, laughing and shouting impatiently: "God has descended!"
"The security team said that Mr. Hammers really summoned a god!"
god?
As the other party finished speaking, Qiao Yuan and his group were already stunned where they were.
Qiao Yuan was also stunned along with the audience in the live broadcast room.
[The weather just now changed faster than Sister Qiao’s slap in the face]
[? What kind of description is this? Hahaha]
[Because Sister Qiao’s slap was really fast, between seconds and minutes]
However, the topic soon turned to what the residents had just said.
[… No , did he really summon a god?]
[No wonder these people are so excited, after all, they see hope of ending the doomsday]
[This Hammos is not ordinary. In the dungeon I experienced before, there were also people who wanted to summon the god, but he is the only one who succeeded so far.]
[This is the first time I am so curious and admire an NPC]
[Maybe because this is the end of the world, it is not ordinary]
[Didn’t we agree to summon together? Hammos, why don’t you let me see the process of summoning a god? Maybe I can use it in other dungeons.]
【System: 404 not found】
So what kind of god is this?
[There is already a thread on the forum discussing this god, and people are voting on whether he is a good god or a bad god.]
[But the whole base is weird. I feel like it might not be a good god.]
[I think the main thing players want to ask is Hammos. As for whether the god is a good god, it shouldn’t matter much. Anyway, you can leave the dungeon after completing the task.]
[Yes, Hammos can summon gods, which shows that he is quite capable. It seems that there is hope for these players to complete their missions.]
[That’s right, the mission is completed and we’ve left the dungeon. Sister Qiao doesn’t have to experience hallucinations like that lone wolf player again.]
[So it was an illusion. No wonder the lone wolf player was like a madman sometimes. But if he could just hold on a little longer, it would be fine.]
[However, the description of this hallucination makes people feel very scary, as if the infected are everywhere.]
