Game of Destiny: This player is different

The collaboration between the Underwater World and SpongeBob SquarePants has really attracted a lot of attention.

It happened to be the Qingming Festival, and many citizens who did not return to their hometowns took this opportunity to come and try it out.

After all, sitting on a soft chair and watching a movie is always easier than trekking through mountains and rivers, right?

It was half an hour later when Qin Nuo and Fu Xiaodie lined up to get in.

The Underwater World was well prepared this time. Not only did they hang and post huge posters at the door, but they also spent a lot of time on the interior decoration.

There were standing pictures of various characters in Bikini Bottom, life-size models, snacks and drinks, and peripheral picture books, all of which could be sold for money.

In order to accommodate more audiences at the preview ceremony, the organizers also transformed the circular stage usually used for seal performances into a simple cinema, but they had to pay extra to watch the movie.

"Do we need to come in so early?"

After the two found their seats and sat down, Fu Xiaodie, who was holding a bucket of popcorn, wondered.

"This is experience. I've seen more exaggerated ones when I was working part-time as a concert security guard."

Qin Nuo grabbed a handful from her bucket and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This is mine." Fu Xiaodie frowned: "Don't you have one yourself?"

"Haha, I'm used to it."

While they were joking, people soon filled up the seats around them.

There was still half an hour before the movie started, and the entire stage was full.

Behind Qin Nuo and the others, there were two young women.

Judging from their attire, they must have recently entered society and still looked like students.

"Shanshan, why are you still frowning when you come out to play?"

"Ah? Really?"

"I haven't seen you smile since you came in. Your face looks like a bitter melon."

"You're wrong."

The young woman named Wang Shanshan lifted her hair and forced a smile.

"Did you encounter any troubles? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"

"I'm not dating anyone yet."

Qin Nuo didn't mean to eavesdrop.

This is too close, and since he has good hearing, he can't help but listen.

Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder, and when he turned around, it was one of the girls.

"Brother, can you take a photo for us?"

The other party asked politely.

Well... a little fat, if you can lose weight, your appearance will be improved.

Qin Nuo nodded and took the phone, asking them to pose.

When adjusting the angle and preparing to press the shutter, something strange appeared on the phone screen.

A faint blue mist lingered behind one of them.

Illusion?

Qin Nuo was puzzled, and when he looked again, the mist disappeared again.

After taking the photo and handing the phone back, he glanced at the strange woman, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, because...

[Task trigger conditions have been met]

[Task type: regular task]

[Task name: Knocking on the door on a rainy night]

[Accept/reject]

It was indeed a supernatural event.

Qin Nuo concealed his expression without leaving a trace, and sat in his seat as if nothing had happened.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the preview ended.

After helping Fu Xiaodie grab an Octopus Brother doll, the two slowly left with the crowd.

It started to rain outside at some point.

"Didn't the weather forecast say it would rain today?"

Fu Xiaodie pouted, she didn't bring an umbrella.

"Let's take a taxi back." Qin Nuo suggested.

Eh?

Fu Xiaodie looked surprised.

Since they met, Qin Nuo always went out by bus, subway, shared bike, or No. 11. Why did he take a taxi today for the first time?

Something is wrong.

He called an online taxi and sent Fu Xiaodie back to the residential area where she lived, and then he returned to his rental house in the Golden Olive Residential Area.

Before going out to perform a mission, you must make some preparations.

...

Baiguan Road in Xicheng District is adjacent to the largest urban village in Xinghai City.

If Longhua Road is a symbol of the prosperity of this economic center, then Baiguan Road is a representative of poverty and backwardness.

The people living here are mixed.

There are urban white-collar workers who eat Starbucks in the morning and Shaxian Hotel in the evening, and there are migrant workers who eat steamed buns and pickles for three meals a day.

Hawkers, waiters, sanitation workers, and all kinds of low-class people are crowded in the grid-like shantytown like ants.

The Xinghai City authorities have wanted to demolish this area more than once, but because there are too many relationships involved, no developer is willing to take it over, so it has been shelved.

Qin Nuo didn't arrive at Baiguan Road until dark.

His appearance at this time was very different from that during the day.

A black clover sweatshirt from Pinduoduo, and a red cap given by Love Blood.

A fake beard was stuck on his philtrum, and his cheeks looked a little vicissitudes after makeup.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a migrant worker who has just entered the city.

"According to the mission, we need to find the victim Wang Shanshan's residence first."

Qin Nuo held a transparent umbrella and walked slowly to the entrance of the village in the city.

The cement road has long been bumpy, and the old street lights next to it flicker.

It is in sharp contrast to the brightly lit Dongcheng District in the distance.

In this road condition, you can't even find a person squatting on the roadside in the middle of the night.

Going further in, you can see residents walking in twos and threes.

There are property consultants wearing cheap black suits, backpacks, and tired faces.

There are construction workers who are sloppy, holding wine and food in their hands, and wearing safety helmets on their heads.

There were also young girls dressed in revealing clothes, walking quickly with their heads down, holding their bags in both hands.

They should be busy doing business.

The poorer the place, the more likely it is to breed crime.

As Qin Nuo looked around, he felt more than one malicious gaze.

It is estimated that the people living here have developed a sense of vigilance.

It was only 8 o'clock in the evening, but the village in the city was unusually quiet.

The doors and windows of every household were closed, and only the lights on in the house proved that someone lived inside.

The further you go into the village in the city, the fewer pedestrians there are on the road.

When Qin Nuo walked deeper, he was the only one left on the whole road.

"The village in the city is so big, where should I start looking?"

After thinking about it, he aimed at a four-story residential building.

After confirming that there was no one around, he turned around the corner.

Then he used his hands and feet to quickly climb to the rooftop like a flexible monkey.

The whole process was silent.

There were no other high-rise buildings in the village, so Qin Nuo could overlook the entire area.

He took out a second-hand laptop from his backpack.

He turned it on, inserted the USB drive, and after a while of typing, the screen turned into a grid screen like a monitoring room.

Rather than wandering around and asking about Wang Shanshan's residence at the risk of arousing residents' suspicion, it would be safer to use some means.
