The clouds were deep, the moonlight was dim, and the back alley was dark.
Although he was extremely surprised, Public Security Officer Jiavette still tried his best to restrain his shock. He held his breath as much as possible and lurked in the shadows of the recesses in the wall, eavesdropping on the conversation not far away.
"Can I understand that you are asking me for a bribe?" Zeno's playful voice came from the mobile phone.
The old affairs officer replied unhurriedly, "What you said is too ugly. Force resources can be used to protect you or protect others. This is a very vague thing. If you are unwilling to accept my offer, you can go to the Grand Alliance National Detective Consulting and Investigation Company."
"I don't think those detectives can stop the unpredictable the Reckoner." Of course, I don't think Internal Affairs Department can stop him either." Zeno mocked a little arrogantly, "Bran, you should have noticed, the Reckoner" should have supernatural abilities."
Public Security Officer Jiavette, hiding in the shadows, widened his eyes and was quite horrified.
Supernatural powers?!
"You are so rare." Old Affairs Officer Bran said quietly, "You know nothing about the Grand Alliance's true power. You don't really think that we know nothing about supernatural power, do you?"
"..." The phone was silent for a moment, "Unified Council has supernatural power?"
"You don't have to be that high, Internal Affairs Department has supernatural powers." The old clerk Bran whispered, "Internal Affairs Department has a man named Internal Affairs Department.
We are the top-secret department of Special Operations Division. This department is responsible for managing Player and the supernatural powers that extend from Player."
Hearing this, Public Security Officer Jiavette suddenly felt a slight pain in his head. For some reason, he was vaguely familiar with the name "Special Operations Division", as if he had been in contact with this department before.
"Special Operations Division? Player?" Zeno's tone lost its determination and arrogance, "What on earth are you talking about?"
"Literally, there is a game called "Investigator" in this world that allows people to gain supernatural powers."
The old affairs officer Bran said calmly.
"Zeno, although Special Operations Division is also a public institution of the Grand Alliance, most of the Players are not on Special Operations Division's employment list. If you want to drive Player to serve us, you need to pay a price. I hope you understand that I want that money, not just for myself."
"I understand, I will give it to you." Zeno said, "By the way, can you find a way to get me a game? Money is not an issue."
"Don't be stupid." Bran, the old steward, immediately denied, "Only lunatics who don't want their lives, or fools who don't understand the stakes will play this game."
"... What do you mean?"
"It's still literal. Haha, playing "Investigator" is to exchange your precious life for a negligible gain. It is almost like signing a contract with the devil. Don't look at those Player with supernatural powers who look majestic, but in the end, they end up
They are dying and going crazy. It can be said that as soon as they enter the game, their life has already entered a countdown."
"In other words, is it a Death Game that can give people supernatural powers?" Zeno asked, "Bran, do you have supernatural powers?"
"I'm not stupid." Old Affairs Officer Bran sneered, "If I can use flimsy narratives and worthless waste paper to drive those people, then why should I put myself in danger?"
Having said this, he suddenly frowned and looked behind him.
The night wind blew by, and a shriveled Coke bottle was spinning on the ground like a tumbleweed. Stealth's Public Security Officer Jiavette quickly shrank back into the shadows.
The old affairs officer Bran turned around and said again, "Zeno, you must be saying that you can only rest assured that power is in your own hands, right? Haha, let me reveal another secret information to you. In fact, Special Operations Division's leadership record has a very strange chronology."
"... Dating?"
"Yes, dating. This matter is very strange. One day we suddenly discovered that the archives of Special Operations Division were completely inconsistent with the appointment and dismissal time of the leadership. According to reasoning, we can know that the traces of the existence of the famous leader have been completely erased. What is even weirder is that the memory of this leader has also disappeared from everyone's brains."
"Later we reviewed a large number of files, and then we were shocked to discover that Nameless's leadership had outstanding achievements. She was once
She is in charge of Player affairs, and she is also an old Player herself, haha, do you understand?"
Jiavette slightly poked his head out of the shadows and carefully observed the expression of the old affairs officer Bran.
"You mean to say that even Internal Affairs Department Officer, who is well-trained, well-resourced, and experienced in gaming, may fall over in a Death Game like "Investigator"?"
"Yes, that's what I want to express." Old Affairs Officer Bran nodded.
However, the next moment, a contemptuous snort came from the phone, "After all that, you just want to cover up the fact that you can't get the game, right?"
"..." Old Affairs Officer Bran was silent for a moment, then nodded, "It is true that I can't get it for the time being, but if you don't come to me, then you have no other channels, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Zeno's tone became cold.
The tone of the old affairs officer Bran also became colder. "Zeno, I have tried so hard to persuade you, are you still going to seek death regardless?"
"Bran, although you have lived for a long time, in your long life, you have never experienced the experience of falling into a quagmire, so you cannot understand the true meaning of life. Haha, once you enter that quagmire-like state, everything will become meaningless, and your life will seem to be stuck. If you want to get out of this predicament, you must restart your life."
"?" Old Affairs Officer Bran frowned slightly, "What do you want to say?"
"Participating in hunting is a kind of Ritual that can restart life and give people a sense of rebirth. The more cunning and powerful the prey, the greater the pleasure of defeating them. The kind of designing a trap and then watching the prey step into the trap without knowing it. The feeling of knowledge will make the hunter confirm that he is a higher-level existence than the prey. Haha, aren't Bran, Death Game the perfect hunting ground? You may die at any time, but if you think about it the other way around, you can kill at will!"
"..." The old clerk was silent for a moment, "Zeno, I have no interest in participating in your perverted entertainment activities, so I may not understand you. But from a general moral perspective, your idea is too perverted. Okay, hang up and contact you later."
Jiavette in the shadow nodded in agreement. I have to say that this rich man named Zeno is really too perverted.
But now that the old clerk has finished making the phone call, it's time for him to slip away. If he is discovered by the other party, something will go wrong.
As his thoughts flowed, Jiavette slowly retreated from the shadows, and he quietly walked towards Stealth in the direction he came from. However, at this moment, a sharp dagger suddenly came out from behind and touched his neck directly!
!?
In an instant, Jiavette was like falling into an ice cave, and he froze on the spot.
The next moment, a slightly gloomy voice came from his ears.
"Have you heard enough?"
"I haven't had enough..." Renee gently placed another dinner plate on the pile of empty plates stacked in a tower, and winked at Xia Lun beside him like a coquettish person, "Can I have another lemon cake?"
