Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 22 [Peeping at the Star]

The strong smell of medicine in his nose dissipated, his vision became clear again, and the pure black phantom stopped on the roadside.

Messiah's cell phone has been ringing for a long time, and the screen is full of messages, which makes him dazzled by fireworks.

After briefly reading a few messages, Messiah fastened his seat belt and stepped on the accelerator.

Even though his face was cold and emotionless, the other three people also saw some anxiety on his face.

"What happened?" Su Heng asked.

Messiah pressed the accelerator to the bottom: "Professor Gao, the sixth seat of the Scholars Association, is dead."

Su Heng was startled. Professor Gao used to be a scholar in the field of astronomy. He awakened special abilities after the apocalypse broke out. Later, he voluntarily joined the Scholars Association to help the official study the genes of infected people. None of the other scholars in the Scholars Association had the Messiah With such excellent individual combat capabilities, they only conduct research and do not participate in rescue or killing missions. Only Messiah has his own team.

"Professor Gao is only responsible for the research of the Scholars Association and does not do any tasks. What's wrong?"

Messiah paused and replied: "After using [Peeping Star], his body exploded and died."

Gu Lingxin raised her head. Will there be backlash if she uses her ability?

"He left behind the results of [Peeping the Stars], which the Scholars Council is currently interpreting. The Chief Law Enforcement Officer asked us to go back as soon as possible to see what we can find." Messiah said and glanced at Gu Lingxin, "You go too. "

Gu Lingxin nodded, there was still some distance from the capital, Messiah drove with a normal expression, Gu Yu had fallen asleep in the back seat, and Su Heng replied to the unread messages on his phone one by one.

Having just returned to reality from the game, the atmosphere in the carriage was very stagnant, and no one took the initiative to speak again. Gu Lingxin's eyes were calm. She had never been to other cities. The unfamiliar street scenes moved backwards. More than an hour later, the car approached the capital.

Gu Lingxin discovered that the closer she got to the capital, the less likely the surroundings were to be shrouded in doom. The streets were deserted, with occasional pools of blood or scratches left on public buildings on the side of the road. From time to time, cruise planes with sirens blaring flew over at low altitudes, taking strict precautions against possible infections that might suddenly appear.

Gu Ling looked at the tall buildings in the distance with her heart. The capital city of Hai City was well-prepared with military forces and many awakened people were stationed there. Compared to the dire straits of Yuan City and Qiming City, it was very comfortable here. There were not even the lowest-level infected people on the streets. .

The Phantom stopped at the foot of an imposing building. This building is the office and reception room of the Scholars Association, and is connected to the research institute at the back.

Messiah parked the car safely, and the three of them walked to the Scholars Association Building.

The building was empty, not a sound of human beings.

Messiah walked into the hall with Gu Lingxin, Su Heng and Gu Yu. A young man in a black suit stepped forward and spoke to Messiah very fast: "Mr. Messiah, the great law enforcement officer I have been waiting for a long time, please come with me."

Gu Lingxin secretly took a look at this man. His suit was straight, his hair was fashionable, and his face was calm and calm. Although he had no arousal, there was no sadness on his face. It seemed that the outbreak of infected people was not a problem for the official staff. Worth mentioning.

She recalled that in her previous life, she had indeed never heard of any particularly high-risk infected people in the capital. It could be seen that the officials handled the situation very well in the early stage, but the rescue efforts in other cities were very slow. Could it be that the officials still Have other questions that need to be resolved?
But what is more important than people's safety?

"Thank you." Messiah nodded politely to the man, exchanged a look with Su Heng, and followed the man deeper into the hall.

After they walked away, Su Heng took Gu Lingxin and Gu Yu to another conference room. It was well decorated and equipped with various instruments. The display screen in the center of the conference room was open, and a picture was enlarged to full screen. are some shapeless images.

"This is what Professor Gao left behind before he died." Su Heng said to Gu Lingxin and Gu Yu after sitting down.

The image on the screen is generally a mess of lines, and nothing can be seen.

"I will use [Unsealing] to interpret this information later. Please watch from the sidelines. If anything unusual happens during the process, please find a way to interrupt me."

Golden light emerged around Su Heng. He pondered for a moment, then turned around and added: "If you really can't wake me up, just kill me."

Gu Lingxin hesitated to speak. Is there any danger in this awakening ability? In a conference room, as soon as Messiah entered, he saw the chief law enforcer sitting in a chair.

The chief law enforcer was about forty years old, tall, fair-skinned, with three-dimensional and handsome features. He was a standard handsome man.

"Great Law Enforcement Officer." Messiah nodded gently and took the lead in breaking the silence.

The Grand Law Enforcement Officer stood up: "Mr. Messiah, you have accomplished your task very well!" He said, taking out a piece of paper from the drawer and handing it to Messiah, "This is what Professor Gao left. The data has been uploaded to the communicators of each squad leader."

Messiah took the thin piece of paper and glanced at it. There were densely drawn irregular lines on it.

He activated [Insight], and golden light flowed between his eyes. The paper was very ordinary, and apart from those patterns, nothing else could be seen.

"I know." Messiah folded the piece of paper and put it in his suit pocket.

The Grand Enforcer nodded, turned and walked towards the other door: "Follow me."

Messiah followed him into the next room. There was a huge round table in the room. Ten old men were sitting around the table. The sixth seat was empty - the seat that originally belonged to the deceased Professor Gao.

"I heard that your team entered the 'game' on the edge of Qiming City." The Grand Law Enforcement Officer asked after taking his seat.

Messiah nodded, "Previously, my team member Su Heng entered a game with another local awakened person in Yuan City. That awakened person has been invited to join my team. Later in Qiming City, we entered another game. A game.”

"The infected people in the game are more dangerous, and it is difficult to pass the level. After I go back, my team will submit two pieces of information about these two 'games', but I personally think it is of little reference value. The boss was defeated in the copy. Killing is a condition for passing the level, and the same 'game' will not appear again after successfully passing the level."

Messiah was the youngest person present. Although the other ten scholars were older, they all listened intently to Messiah's speech, which shows that scholars would attach great importance to him.

The old man in the second position asked: "Do you have any personal guesses about the game?"

Messiah thought for a while and replied: "There is an awakening ability that can construct an illusory world in reality, that is, a 'game', and multiple games can exist at the same time, but the owner of the ability should not directly interfere with the situation in the game ."

He paused and looked around: "I heard that the ninth team lost contact. How is the situation?"

"I haven't come back yet," another old man said. "The locator only showed a signal briefly this morning, and then there was no signal again."

"Come out of the game and immediately enter the next game?" Messiah frowned.

"So far, that's what it looks like."

Messiah flexed his knuckles and clasped the table without saying a word.

After the discussion on this matter, a somewhat thin old man said: "Mr. Messiah, I have some details I want to ask you about your previous mission of killing high-risk infected people in Qiming City."

Messiah nodded: "Professor Shen, please speak."

"Previously, the four teams were almost wiped out in Qiming City. After discussion, we sent the second team, your team, to investigate. I hope that the wisdom of you and your team members can bring us back useful information. Then we sent another team. The ninth team with the best combat capabilities carries out the extermination mission."

"Team Nine entered the game on the road, thus affecting the execution of the mission. The Grand Law Enforcement Officer's original intention was to convey to you the order to suspend standby. After all, there are only two members of your team, and the awakening ability does not have direct combat effectiveness, but you arrived at the scene A report was sent back two hours later saying that all the infected people in the area were killed. How did you do it?"

Messiah deadpanned: "I don't think there's any comparison between the idiots from Team 4 and my team."
