We Are Gamers

He caressed the warm alchemy furnace with his palm, impatiently waiting for the fire to subside slowly. He could imagine that, where he could not see, the white flame melted the inner alchemy and refined it into the most essence. All the materials, the dross turned into gas under the burning of the flame, and the most essential things formed a pill, shining in the dark.

Taste it, live a hundred years.

"It's almost done, it's almost done..."

He took off his eyes, rubbed his eyes dazed by the flames, and was so excited that he was about to tap dance.

At this moment, he also noticed Tachibana Chiyuki's gaze.

She is not dead yet.

The half-demon may not necessarily die after the inner alchemy is removed, but the vitality is lacking, and it may be exhausted and die.

Her vitality was very tenacious, maybe it was hatred, maybe it was anger, which supported her to stare at the murderer.

Ito sighed regretfully, he reluctantly left the stove, and gently lifted Tachibana Chiyuki's head.

"If you want to watch it, just watch it for a while... At this time, I really hope that there are other viewers here, but unfortunately, it is destined that no one can share this joy for me... Just take a look while you are still alive , this miraculous elixir."

The furnace fire receded slowly, and the elixir was about to be refined.

Ito laughed out loud.

However, just as he laughed loudly, an indifferent tone came.

"What happy thing happened?"

Ito turned around abruptly.

I saw a young man broke into the door at some point, he smiled playfully.

"Can I ask someone to share your joy?"

ps: Chapter 2 stuck with me for a long time, and I wrote it for nearly three hours. In fact, the story line has been dealt with, but there are some problems in the closing stage.

I have been laying the groundwork before, but later I found that the rhythm of writing in this way is seriously procrastinated, and the detective drama is more serious, which is not suitable for writing too much joy.

So after thinking about it, I decided to add a faster rhythm, but there was a small error in this rhythm.

The identity of the murderer is too obvious. With the development of the plot, his identity is easily exposed. It is better to say that he has been exposed from the beginning. I think it is too stupid to continue to play tricks on this aspect.

Simply point out the identity of the murderer, and then reorganize the fragments of clues obtained earlier.

Of course, this time it is not just a simple investigation, but also a more important plot branch. This chapter announces the end of the foreshadowing, and the next chapter begins with high energy.

Chapter 63 Third Stream

In the twilight of the morning sun.

Bai Ge leaned against the edge of the door, with a lazy attitude and a calm demeanor.

His eyes were half closed, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, and his dark pupils were full of playfulness.

Ito's pupils shrank to the smallest in an instant.

One moment he was intoxicated by Dan Cheng's ecstasy, and the next moment this ecstasy was broken by the arrival of an unexpected guest.

He watched the visitor warily.

In other words, looking behind Baige, he was afraid that there would be thousands of troops coming this time, but a few seconds passed... Baige was still standing there alone, and the player slowly lowered his arms and moved closer.

"Don't come here!"

There was a cold light in Ito's eyes.

Holding the scalpel, he stuck the sharp edge on Tachibana Qianxue's neck artery, and warned Baige: "Don't move if you don't want her to die!"

Ito was suddenly very grateful that Tachibana Chiyuki's vitality was strong enough. If she died, he would die with her now.

Before she dies, the little girl has to show him her last residual value.

Ito warned Baige not to approach.

And Bai Ge did stop.

"Very well, just don't move like that, or..."

"Ah……"

Baige chuckled ironically, he raised his foot in slow motion in front of Ito, and then lowered it down in front of Ito, as if playing a prank.

He spread his hands: "I moved, so what?"

His expression was cold and almost heartless: "Do you like to kill or not..."

Ito saw the same coldness and ruthlessness from this young man's face, but it was different from his own, Baige's eyes only had a disregard for life.

He gritted his teeth, still unwilling to believe Bai Ge's words, this was his last straw.

His scalpel cut Tachibana Chiyuki's skin, and blood flowed.

"I'm really going to kill her, don't move!"

"If I really wanted to save her, I wouldn't have let her come here in the first place."

Bai Ge turned a deaf ear and continued to approach: "It's just that if she doesn't come, I can't find your hiding place. You used her, and I used her too. We are all using her. No one cares about her life. If you kill her, it will only make your death worse later on."

"You followed her?"

Ito stared at Tachibana Chiyuki: "She said it and didn't tell anyone."

"It's true that she didn't tell anyone, but I found out the truth in advance. It's better to say...you didn't hide it deeply from the beginning." Bai Ge said lightly: "From the moment you destroyed the hospital, I knew You are the murderer."

"impossible!"

"What's impossible?"

"My plan is obviously perfect!"

"Perfect ghost, with a lot of loopholes."

Bai Ge was not in a hurry to act, but was interested in talking to him about the process of the case.

He was speechless: "If it weren't for the fact that there are too many monsters and ghosts in this game space, which confuse my vision, I would have caught you on the first day... This is not a superpower crime at all, but a very ordinary murder case. It's just that the scene was deliberately faked, if you let experienced criminal investigators come, you don't need to make so many detours to catch you."

In fact, Bai Ge has always thought too much.

At the beginning, he also had the same idea with the judgment of the corresponding game, thinking that this was a crime with super powers, and was confused by the design of the game space itself, thus ignoring the simplest possibility.

Dr. Ito was holding the scalpel tightly, his hair had started to become disheveled, and his usual gentle expression gradually became ferocious.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a low voice: "You said you saw through my modus operandi, okay, let's talk about it..."

Bai Ge could tell at a glance that he was stalling for time.

But he doesn't mind playing tricks with each other.

"Okay, then I'll just say something briefly... Your seemingly complicated, but in fact wise, method of committing a crime."

"The first two cases were also the two cases when the case was filed. They were also the core tricks you created at the beginning. It is precisely because of your complicated crime methods that the direction of the investigation has gone wrong."

"Everyone, including me, thinks that this is a crime that ordinary people cannot accomplish... But we are all wrong. In fact, as long as the method is correct, it is not impossible for humans to kill half-demons."

"After the murder, the murderer took away Neidan and chopped off his head. The traces of the scene were destroyed, leaving almost no useful clues... This is your cleverness, which made me feel that for a long time. They are all wondering, since you took the inner alchemy, why do you want to cut off their heads."

"I didn't know why you did this until last night."

"Last night, I met a fortune teller who claimed that he was psychic and had seen dead people somewhere, and I went to the place she said, and I found a wax figure In the depths of the wax museum, I found two well-made wax figures whose heads bear a subtle resemblance to those of the first two deceased."

"The idea of ​​using real people as wax figures to cover up crimes is ingenious, but unfortunately your skills are not skilled enough, so I couldn't help but cut off those two heads and took them back for inspection, and then found them in their closed mouths after death. A certain chemical—enflurane and ether."

"These two drugs are often used in general anesthesia and are inhaled anesthetics."

Baige sighed.

"That's when I realized that your killing method is so simple that it's outrageous, it's not complicated at all, it's even so simple that it's child's play."

"You cut off their heads and took them away so as not to leave any evidence, and then destroyed the scene to create a tragic atmosphere. However, in fact, your killing process was so simple and neat that it didn't even take ten minutes."

"You are a doctor, it is very easy to get these two drugs, and you have in-depth research on half-demons, so you naturally know what drugs are effective for them and what drugs are not effective for them... These two strong anesthetic drugs are mixed together. Used together, even a half-demon will quickly fall into a coma, and then you take the inner alchemy alive, then chop off their heads, splash a lot of blood to destroy the traces on the scene, and cover up the smell of the medicine. When the time is long enough, the traces will disappear Without a trace, no one will notice your modus operandi."

"Even the secret room in the second case is just a simple trick."

"That is also a fake secret room that you deliberately built to create a superpower crime. We all thought that the murderer threw the deceased from the tenth floor, and then left the crime scene directly from the balcony, because the key fell on the balcony, there is no more Keys, doors can't be cumbersome, in fact they're not..."

"Because the apartment where the deceased is located is the highest floor, you carried the deceased out the door, locked the door, then went up to the top floor, threw the deceased from the top floor, and then threw the key from the top floor to the balcony It's just a simple scam."

"When I realized that the murderer didn't need much strength to complete the crime, the identity of the murderer was already revealed..."

"The medical equipment left behind in the third case further proves that the murderer is a surgeon, otherwise he would not have chosen to abandon the hospital as his base...and the murderer knows half-demons and monsters so well that he can easily get their personal information." If you understand the inner alchemy attributes of a half-demon, you will naturally not be an unknown ordinary doctor."

"In addition, when I asked you to answer questions that day, you deliberately avoided several important questions from me. It is really hard for me not to think of you."

There was a bit of boredom in Bai Ge's playful smile, and he said without hesitation: "If you want to find the true identity of the murderer, what you need to decipher is not the logic of the murder, but the method of committing the crime...it's really third-rate."

Dr. Ito's breathing gradually became short of breath, and Baige cracked all his tricks, which made him grit his teeth.

He refused to give up and asked: "How do you know that my last target is her!"

"It's very simple. After I see through your identity, the following inferences will not be difficult."

"You kill people like hemp, and treat half-demons like pigs to slaughter recklessly, but before you left that day, you told Tachibana Qianxue to remember to go to the hospital to find you. I don't believe that a murderer would have such kindness, unless it is for yourself. livestock."

Bai Ge smiled sarcastically.

"It turns out that I didn't make a mistake in my judgment. What you care about is not her, but her inner alchemy... I didn't expect Tachibana Qianxue to be a half-demon. She hides really well and listens to you very well."

Hearing this comment, Tachibana Chiyuki's eyes filled with complex emotions, feeling ashamed and lonely.

She didn't even have the strength to speak, so she could only close her eyes in pain.

She didn't expect Bai Ge to save herself, because there was no pity or sympathy in his words, but simply presenting the facts, as if mocking her for her own suffering.

She really did it on her own...

After finishing his long speech, Bai Ge asked, "How is it? Do you have anything else to add?"

Ito couldn't speak.

"Of course I know you have nothing to add, just a formulaic question."

Bai Ge snapped his fingers, and a pair of bladed scissors fell into his palm.
