Chapter 395: How to own five buildings

The edge of the fissure on the ground split by Bai Liu's whip twisted and stretched out tentacle-like veins connecting and pulling each other, and the flesh-like land was slowly pulled to connect together, and the fissure closed.

The land let out a satisfied yet hoarse gasp.

Bai Liu glanced at his system panel, noting that after he had whipped the land-like developer, his own blood loss had instead gotten faster.

Tang Er hit also noticed this, he wrinkled his brow, "What's going on?"

Bai Liu calmly explains, "The damage is transferred, I attack this monster developer once, and after it loses blood it can quickly heal itself by sucking blood from me and the other tenants on the land in Zone E."

"Attacking it is equivalent to offering to attack you." Tang Er hit gruffly looked at Bai Liu whose lips didn't have a trace of blood color , "Then won't it endlessly suck your blood if it goes on like this? Why don't you transfer the houses in Area E to me first."

Bai Liu shook his head, his tone flat: "Cure the symptoms, not the cause, not sucking my blood sucking your blood what difference does it make?"

Tang Er hit silence for a moment.

Bai Liu continued, "If taking title to a building attracts out the big developers in each area, and the game requires us to own five buildings, then one of the five of us has to hold the building, and be sucked to death by the big developers."

"This is a game, and if this form of monster exists in the game, then this monster is bound to have a weakness, and we need to find that weakness." Bai Liu's eyes were light as he looked at Tang Er and fought, "Since attacks are useless against the land this monster is attached to, then we need to find a way to sever the connection between it and the land, and force it out of the land."

"A connection between the land and this monster? " Tang Er hit back, "What do you think it could be?"

The corners of Bai Liu's mouth slowly curled into a smile, "Currently in terms of the game's information, I am indeed unclear, but thanks to you, Team Tang, you have reminded me that this is most likely a game that will log into reality, so the game's most basic settings must be in line with the rules of reality."

"For example, how can land and a dead person be linked together-" Bai Liu lifted his eyelids and smiled, "then naturally this dead person still owns this piece of land after his death, that's why he's attached to the host on it. "

"In reality, what would make a person own a piece of land?" Bai Liu asked lightly.

Tang Er hit the ground hard: "Land use right certificate?!"

Reality, Sunshine Property.

Su Yang scans over this Lee developer's profile in a single glance and looks up at the team, "Aside from this jailed Lee developer, what about the other four developers?"

"It was ages ago last year, they all ran off just as soon as the last name Lee was interrogated, and it was only in July this year that they were rechecked." The team member sighed and handed over a report, "But all four are dead too, in a traffic accident."

"All dead too?" Su Yang's voice sank, he received the report with a heavy expression, his eyebrows raised, "Last June, in the name of the company's reunion outing, they brought along their parents, relatives, wives and mistresses, and chartered four buses to go to the border in a low-profile manner, but they encountered a very bizarre high-speed lorry rear-end chase successive incidents, the out-of-control and overweight lorries kept charging forward, and the four buses together flipped over a guardrail, and none of the people on board survived."

The team nodded: "Because of the fake ID card to create a false identity, but also changed the appearance, the explosion of the bus all the bodies have varying degrees of burns, the relationship between the people and all the people in the car died together, so the four developers body has not come to claim, until May this year, only to dig up their whereabouts, to determine that they were on that bus. "

Su Yang looked up, her eyes straight at the team, "This major traffic accident last June, if I remember correctly, there seems to be an eighteen year old, fresh out of high school survivor."

"Yes." The team member gave Su Yang a surprised look, "Team Su, how did you know? This survivor is called Du Ying."

Su Yang closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling violently twice.

Of course he knew, Tang Er had asked him to look into this traffic accident just two months ago, and specifically asked to check for a child named Du Ying.

I didn't expect to run into it again here, and it led to the deaths of these four developers ......

All the serendipities were strung together so aptly, woven into a great web that invisibly channeled them into a certain path.

It was as if there was a god who diffidently fiddled with some node in the world, dropping a card or a piece as he pleased and arranged, and these light toys could smash the ground with a roaring dent, and the ordinary people who stood on the ground would howl in pulverized, bloodied shreds.

This jokey, uncontrollable thing that befalls a person is called fate.

What is it called when it comes down on a group of people?

A person in pain can rationalize it all by saying that fate might be like this, I might just be unlucky, unlucky, unfortunate, and then gaze at the happy people around them, enduring life for the sake of this probability of happiness.

What about that group?

But what does one think when everyone around you is suffering so much because of the same happenstance? Is the pain of one person diluted because of group understanding, or is the pain of the group instead centralized in each person's head because they understand and empathize with each other?

Can people ...... continue to endure living under these circumstances?

Su Yang was in a trance for a moment, and he realized he couldn't give an answer.

A team member rushed into the house, pushed the door open with a bang, and hissed sternly with a broken expression, "Team Su! There are seven newly recovered patients from the city's Sixth Hospital who snatched the nurse's razor blades and committed suicide!"

City Hospital No. 6, inpatient department rooftop.

Seven men in hospital gowns with blood dripping from their wrists were full of pale, numb faces with their backs to the rooftop, and in front of them stood a group of panicked medics, security guards, members of the Heresy Handling Bureau, and police officers.

The medics exchanged anxious words:

"Suddenly snatched the blade I was using to remove the stitches! Gave me a big scare!"

"Luckily, the managing doctor reacted quickly and got the blade back, and none of the cuts were deep."

"Now running to the rooftop ......"

One of the police officers lowered his hands, bowed his body, and slowly stepped forward, "Guys, you can talk to us about anything, don't take it lightly."

There was an aunty in a hospital gown, thin, dry lips, hair yellow and curly expressionless look at this police officer, before he could speak, but tears slowly dripping down:

"It's no use, what good can a discussion do."

Her eyes were out of focus staring somewhere in the air, her eyes lax, and suddenly she let out a laugh as she lifted a hand to wipe the tears from her face:

"I don't blame you guys, I know you did your best, you were all over us today with the relocation certificates, and then all of a sudden this weird thing happened and you had to move us back again ......"

"Let's just say we deserved it and couldn't escape this blood-sucking mess."

With that said, this aunt slowly began to move with her back turned towards the rooftop behind her, muttering to herself as she inclined her head into the distance, her eyes dazed:

"...... Xiao Yuan has been carrying us for three years now, and the kid can't hold up today with Xiao Yuan on the field as well ......"

"It would be selfish of us to continue to live, to continue to put all hope of living on him with our deaths."

"That's it, that's all there is to live for, I'll admit it."

She closed her eyes, smiled twice, opened her arms, and fell backward.

"Don't die! Work and live today too!"

A male voice came from the ground.

This aunt who was just about to fall down opened her eyes violently and twisted her waist to turn her head to look at the ground, "Little Yuan?!"

Other patients with blood dripping from their hands also eagerly came to the fence to peer down, "I heard Xiao Yuan's voice too!"

"But isn't Yuan competing?"

"It's a contest to win!"

The same voice from downstairs again, "Don't die! Work and live today too!"

The second time the voice rang out, the people upstairs finally realized something was wrong - it had an electronic feel to it, like a recording.

Su Yang stood downstairs, he held up a speaker disliking a SpongeBob SquarePants-shaped alarm clock and pressed play again, "Don't die! Work and live today too!"

Su Yang then moved the speaker to her mouth and calmly stated, "People upstairs, what you just heard was the sound of Yuan Guang's alarm clock, who I know is very close to you and has been appearing on your behalf to argue with the developer's representatives."

"Yuan Guang plays this alarm clock sound to himself every morning in the hope that he will live well to fight for more benefits for you, and I'm sure he hopes that you will live well enough to enjoy all that he has fought for you."

Su Yang tilted her head and looked at those teetering on the edge of the rooftop, "Please trust us, we will do our best to take care of whatever is bothering you."

His gaze was firm and clear: "No matter who befalls you with this doom, we will fight with our lives to fix it for you!"

That aunt clutched the rooftop fence with a death grip, her eyes reddened, then she slowly released her own hands that clutched the fence and took a step backward.

The officers in the back of the room caught wind of the situation and ripped her and six others off.

Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

The team member next to him had a complicated look in his eyes, "Captain, how did you know that's what this alarm clock's alarm sounds like?"

Su Yang's face finally brought a bit of a smile as he lightly smacked this team member on the head with his horn, "I found it when I was testing the object, this alarm clock screams when you press it, and it screams exceptionally loud and mid-sentence, so I remembered it."

Is it the fate of the group? ...... Su Yang was thoughtful as she walked back.

If this group can meet someone who can change their destiny, perhaps this path of life, which is like being maliciously arranged by the gods, can also be changed. ......

Su Yang was stunned, he couldn't help but think of Bai Liu during the Rose Factory.

That guy also changed the fate of everyone, including him, on his own.

The team member next to Su Yang followed Su Yang forward while looking down and quickly checking the news report, "Team Su, you just asked us to search the four cars that were involved in the accident for any certificates of land ownership or the like, and we haven't found any for the time being."

Su Yang nodded, "And was anything searched at the location of the original traffic accident?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." The team member looked up, "The place where the accident happened originally turned up several bags of paperwork that held almost all of the real estate information for these four developers, except for the four illegal secondary contracting contracts for the Sunnyside development."

Su Yang's footsteps lurched as he slowly turned his head, "That developer surnamed Li, where is the body buried?"

"That Li developer's body was picked up by his son after cremation, and his son hasn't reported the burial site yet, saying that he kept the person at home without burial." This team member quickly rummaged around for a few moments, then gave a beat, "But our people found out that after the death of the developer surnamed Li in August, his son frequented a certain cemetery."

Su Yang quickly gave the order, "Have the men surround that cemetery and don't allow anyone in or out!"

In-game, Zone E.

Bai Liu and Tang Er fought their way quickly back to the spot where Liu Jiayi had left them, and Mu Sicheng Mu Ke was half crouching on the ground.

On the ground lay a dying NPC, almost only out of breath without near breath, the entirety of his skin was dried up and plastered to his cheekbones and forehead, so thin and thin that it was out of shape, more like a praying mantis than a person.

Tang Er hit averted his eyes without looking at it.

"Still alive?" Bai Liu asked faintly, "Can you tell what the blood loss rate is from this npc?"

Liu Jiayi shook his head, "Almost dead but still alive now, the rate of blood loss is not clear to calculate, but if you calculate the rate of death, this monster should be able to suck a person dry in almost an hour."

Mu Ke frowned, "This blood loss is too fast."

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu: "Did you solve that monster?"

"No, that monster is tricky." Tang Er hit tensed his jaw, "We have to stay here for the time being to look for weaknesses, Bai Liu means you guys take this NPC and go to the other districts first."

Mu Ke and Mu Sicheng were both startled.

Especially Mu Sicheng, he directly jumped up, "Shit, no way Bai Liu! You're carrying a blood loss buff that can suck the life out of a person in an hour, and then you're actually going to ask us to split up? Don't you know that splitting up in a horror story is a death-defying act?!"

Mu Ke also frowned rather disapprovingly, "Bai Liu, at least let Liu Jiayi stay."

Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu and was just about to speak.

Bai Liu looked around the circle with shallow eyes, he didn't say anything.

Everyone went quiet.

Bai Liu spoke up at this time, calmly, methodically ordering, "This isn't a playful confrontation between me and you in a game pool, this isn't some horror movie, this is a competitive type of horror game match, and I'm your tactician."

"Now I need you to split up, and you'll have to split up."

Liu Jiayi, Mu Ke and Mu Sicheng all bowed their heads and whispered, "Yes."

"Mu Sicheng go to Area A, Liu Jiayi go to Area B, Mu Ke go to Area D. There's a new property appearing in Area C. It should be a new branch line, and should be richer in information, I'll go over there after Team Tang and I take care of Area E. You guys don't pass by to explore for now."

"Go to the first in each area go sweep the cemetery building, after you sweep don't take the cemetery house title, keep sweeping, sweep until you have angered the developer, that cemetery house is the developer's cemetery, go in there and look for the certificate of land ownership, when you find it meet me in area C."

Bai Liu looks to everyone, "Now move."
