Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 45 Investigation 1
"My family is having a funeral." The other party hesitated for a while.

The area of ​​China is so large that although cremation is implemented, there are still some differences in funeral customs in different places.For example, the funeral customs in a large area around Dongzhou is to rent a crystal coffin at home and park it for 7 days, and then send it to the funeral home after the "first seven".If it is a family that is very old-fashioned and superstitious, or the deceased has many relatives and friends before his death, and it is difficult to gather at the same time, or if the family is rich, they make a special trip to invite monks and nuns to recite sutras, and so on. Under special circumstances, the funeral It can be extended to 14 days or even 21 days.

Families with funerals usually have no one to come to the house except for their relatives and friends.You also don't invite others to come to your door when you are not in your family for a funeral.

But for Zhang Cheng, this is not a problem.What is this thing compared to a looming crisis?
"This matter may be very important." Zhang Cheng typed these words on the keyboard, which was also a test.

"About my brother?"

"I think so."

The other party did not reply in time, obviously hesitating for a while.But in the end, an address was sent.

Zhang Cheng took a look, it was not Dongzhou, but it was in the same province.

This distance was very troublesome if it was put in the past, but it is not a big deal in this era.It only takes two hours to go there.Zhang Cheng immediately bought the ticket online, then got up and walked towards the gate.

However, when I was in a hurry to go out, I stepped on something slippery and almost fell.

I don't know when there were a few more balls on the ground. They were the kind of small balls that Zhang Cheng had seen before, suspected to be made of plastic or resin or other materials, or they could be called beads.

Another five or six beads, I don't know when they appeared on the floor.Zhang Cheng is absolutely certain that these things are of unknown origin.

The windows and doors are closed, and everything in the room is where it should be.Obviously not some kind of gentleman on the beam came to the door.In fact, if a gentleman on the beam really came to the door, he should take things instead of leaving them.

Originally, this was something to be surprised or even studied, but where does Zhang Cheng have time to care about such trivial matters at this moment?With a broom in hand, he swept five or six small balls on the ground under the bed (this was to prevent them from rolling around so that he accidentally stepped on them and slipped), and went out immediately.

Modern traffic conditions are truly radically different from those of the barbarian era.Thinking about it, Zhang Cheng was also the one who had ridden the fastest means of transportation in that other world, the chariot.But it took half a day for that chariot to travel thirty or forty kilometers.The high-speed rail is hundreds of kilometers in one or two hours.In ancient times, it was not a thousand miles a day, but a thousand miles a day, and it was just the same for the gods flying in the clouds.

The high-speed rail traveled at an unimaginable speed in the barbaric era. Feeling the barely perceptible slight vibration of the carriage, Zhang Cheng's mood also became tense as he watched the scenery passing by the car window.

There are no supernatural powers on Earth, nor that incredible panel.He is an ordinary ordinary person.And what he will face this time is likely to be a supernatural ability that he does not understand at all.

Although the other party calls this game his brother's relic, as the saying goes, you don't even know if there is a dog on the other side across the Internet.The other party's words can only be used as a reference, but don't take it seriously.Really stupid.

What the hell is going on with this game and this time-travel?The special ability of superpowers?The magic of a mysterious sorcerer?The quest of a mad scientist?Or is it alien black technology?

In short, no matter how I think about it, I think this is too incredible.

If a relative or friend encounters such a thing at this moment, Zhang Cheng thinks that he absolutely does not believe it.Even if the relatives and friends use an extremely sincere tone and attitude, he will feel that the other party has hallucinations or even mental illness.After all, there is no way to verify that the soul passes through and then the soul passes back through.

Therefore, in the end, we can only rely on our own strength to investigate, can we not expect the help of others at all?

Damn, I'm just an ordinary person, regardless of economic ability or IQ, if it is really an evil force like the umbrella company, I don't seem to have any way to fight it!

The scientific and technological progress of modern society has formed a huge convenience.

For example, the talent of "Lu Chi" is definitely not a small defect in ancient times, and even a disaster for some occupations, but there is absolutely no problem in modern times.A mobile app completely solves this problem.Even in a completely unfamiliar city, Zhang Cheng easily reached the address given to him by Anonymous.

By the way, Anonymous is the name of the other party on Penguin Chat, just like Zhang Cheng's screen name on Penguin Chat is "Game Master".

Although he knew that he was just a powerless ordinary person, Zhang Cheng still tried to be as cautious as he could.He didn't go to the door directly and recklessly, but after arriving at the place, he first conducted a reconnaissance within a range of several hundred meters.At least after understanding the surrounding environment and confirming that this is a very ordinary community, I came to the target location at close range.

Thankfully, there is indeed a funeral going on here.No need for anything else, you can see it by looking at the rows of wreaths placed downstairs at your target.

An obituary posted on the outside wall attests to the death of a young man in his twenties.The cause of death was vaguely written as "died due to illness", but it was unclear what the disease was.And if you stand still, you can hear the typical religious music upstairs.Usually, this kind of music is only played at funerals.

This should not be a trap.

"Do you live on the fourth floor..." Zhang Cheng walked up the stairs slowly.This community is half-old and not new. There is no elevator in this building, but the fourth floor is not very high, and the lack of elevator does not affect life.

I didn't feel it when I was downstairs, but when I came to the second floor, I could hear the sound that was obviously not of sadness.

It was easy to tell that it was the intense and hurried voices of adult men and women, speaking, but it was more similar to shouting, because the voice was so loud that even the loud sorrow and joy could not be suppressed.

The speaker was not speaking Mandarin, but a dialect that Zhang was not familiar with.But even if you don't understand the specific content, just relying on the sound itself, you can naturally understand: this is a quarrel.

In a family that is having a funeral, someone is arguing.

Zhang Cheng walked to the fourth floor, the door was open, and the quarrel was now very clear.Judging from the sound, there are quite a few people arguing inside, not a dispute between two or three people.

Zhang Cheng walked into the door.There are no monks and Taoists in this family who are chanting sutras, only the portrait of the deceased is placed on a cabinet in the middle, surrounded by flower baskets, dressed as a barely qualified mourning hall.The body of the deceased should be placed in a nearby room.But he didn't have time to read more, because the people in the room had already noticed the uninvited guest.

"Who are you?" A young girl greeted her.

When you see a strange woman, the first impression is usually the appearance of the other person.But for some reason, Zhang Cheng's first feeling when he saw this girl was not the appearance of the other party, but the exhaustion of the other party.

A kind of exhaustion and boredom that is almost inscribed deep in the body from the inside out.

It's almost impossible for a young man.It should be noted that this girl is very young, and Zhang Cheng feels that the other party is younger than him, and she feels that she should be a college student or at least just entering the society.I don't know why, but this first impression is extremely strong.

"Uh...this is...that...I'm here to find someone." Zhang Cheng was a little embarrassed.He can now be sure that this is not a trap, even if it is a trap, the level of this trap is beyond what he can see through.

"Game master?" The girl was stunned, and a word suddenly appeared.

"Ah, Anonymous?" Zhang Cheng hesitated and replied.

"Sure enough, it's you, you really came." Anonymous, the girl, smiled.

There was a roar in the room, mixed with a dialect that Zhang Cheng couldn't understand, but even a fool could guess that it was scolding.

While quarrels are common, fighting at a funeral...anyone knows it's not quite right.

"It's a little noisy in here," Anonymous said in an awkward tone. "Let's talk in a quiet place."

After a short while, the two came to a small tea bar on the edge of the community.

"I made you laugh." After being seated, Anonymous said. "My name is Chen Wenwen."

"Zhang Cheng." Zhang Cheng answered simply.Now he can basically trust the other party's environment... It is estimated that it is not a wizard or a superpower, and there is no threat to him.But another kind of apprehension came to mind, maybe the girl didn't know anything.If that's the case, then he may not really find any clues to the crisis.

"That...can I know what happened?" Zhang Cheng felt that the funeral was obviously abnormal.

"My brother is dead." Chen Wenwen said after hesitating for a while. "The doctor said that it was sudden death. It is said that it was arachnoid hemorrhage in the brain or something... I don't really understand. According to the doctor, it was caused by staying up late, smoking, and irregular life. In short, he passed away suddenly. ."

Although it is a pity to pass away at a young age, it is only a greater sorrow, not this kind of quarrel.So Zhang Cheng held his breath and waited for the other party to explain further.

"He graduated from college here, and then he stayed here and found a job for three or five years." Chen Wenwen raised her head, as if recalling something. "I don't know the specifics. Every year he only goes home during the New Year. At the beginning, he should have a hard time because he came home empty-handed. But it has improved in the past two years, and every time he comes back They all have a lot of gifts. I remember he told me that he gathered a few friends to start a business and start a company... But some relatives came here to inquire, and when they came to the company, they said that there was no such person at all. They said He seems to have been fired from the company a long time ago...I still remember..."

Her voice stopped abruptly. "Of course, it doesn't make sense to say that now."

Whether it is to open a company and become a boss to reach the peak of life or be fired from the company and have nowhere to go to the bottom of society, there is no difference between the two, because people are already dead.

Death is the fairest thing in the world.Everyone in the world dies, and before death, all living beings are equal.

"That just now?" Zhang Cheng still didn't quite understand.

"This house belongs to my brother." Chen Wenwen said.

Zhang Cheng understood this situation almost immediately.It's a struggle for succession!

Her brother is so young, he probably doesn't have a wife and children, and he died suddenly. Obviously, he won't have a will.According to Chinese law, everyone knows that parents, children and spouses are the first in line of succession.It doesn't matter if you don't have a wife and children, your parents can inherit the inheritance, and there is nothing to dispute.But then again, if everything could follow the law, there would be less conflict in this society.

Big cities are fine, but this kind of scene occurs in many rural areas.Simple and clear, at a glance.

If the deceased has no property, perhaps the extinction will not happen.But the deceased left behind a sizable house in the city.No matter what happens to this house in the future, it will be worth at least several million if it is sold at the moment.It is only natural that this kind of inheritance will cause competition.

From this point of view, no matter what Brother Chen Wenwen does, at least he is considered a successful person in this society.After all, I went to a big city alone and spent five or six years to buy a house of my own, which is definitely a small achievement.Converted to an annual salary, it is estimated that it is not less than one million.It is not incomprehensible that being too busy at work leads to sudden death.

"What is that game?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask.In fact, that's what he cares about.

"I found some words in my brother's computer." Chen Wenwen said. "It seems to be related to this game. Maybe it's a diary, but it's too fragmented. In short, my brother feels that this game determines his future, and he has spent a lot of money..."

Zhang Cheng's expression changed.This matter may be inexplicable if it is placed on an unwitting third party, but Zhang Cheng understands the power behind this game.

"I was stunned." Chen Wenwen said. "Maybe, he's just developing a game."

This is obviously not a reasonable answer.Because anyone who starts the game will understand that this thing is not Chinese!You say that a Chinese person does not use his native language to develop games, but uses inexplicable other minor languages?This is not normal by any means.
