Life Dungeon Game

Are you scavenging in this alley?

Ignoring the young man's actions, He Ao quickly asked, "What are you picking up?"

"Bullet casing, bro,"

The young man paused, and before He Ao could ask, he blurted out, "It seems like there was a fight between security companies here the night before last. We came to see if there was anything they didn't want left behind, even bullet casings. They could be sold for a lot of money if we collected them."

"You only found out today?"

He Ao continued to ask.

"We found out the night before last, but we couldn't beat the nearby Little Dog Gang, so we had to wait until they finished looting before coming here."

The young man answered quickly.

"You were here the night before last, did you see the body?"

He asked in a low voice.

"like···"

The young man paused, seemingly deep in thought.

"Ok?"

He Ao raised an eyebrow slightly and tightened his grip.

"Ah! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The young man cried out in pain, “I was hiding in the alley across the street when I saw a group of people in black suits, who seemed to be from the security company involved in the gunfight, carrying away all the bodies.”

"All the bodies?" He asked calmly. "The bodies of both sides have been removed? Do you even know who the warring parties were?"

"It seems like they've all been taken away. The clothes on the bodies are all different. They've all been loaded onto trucks, but I can't tell who's who. It's too chaotic. I don't even dare to peek out."

The young man said cautiously.

He fell into a brief silence.

Combined with the sounds of things being moved that the convenience store clerk had mentioned, it seems that the person who attacked the parents did indeed take away their remains.

In theory, such battles should only take away the remains of one's own side, since each additional corpse means an additional burial cost.

Unless, of course, they have something useful to do with the corpse.

"Brother, brother, I was wrong, brother, please forgive me."

When the young man heard that He Ao had not asked any more questions, he spoke cautiously and tremblingly.

"get out."

He released his grip.

"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother. May you find money while taking a walk, meet a rich woman on the street, win the lottery, and live a long and healthy life."

As soon as the force restraining him loosened, the young man scrambled to his feet. He rattled off a string of blessings without looking back, and tumbled and crawled away into the deepest part of the alley.

He Ao watched his retreating figure, chuckled to himself, and then turned back to look at the street with its passing vehicles.

The situation that Ilo's parents encountered this time seems to be different from that of the Kavi couple in the previous instance.

The people who attacked Ilo's parents did not attack them because they had come into contact with something, but because of their 'people'.

The center of the vortex was not an object, but Ilo's parents themselves.

He Ao raised his wristband and hailed a driverless taxi.

He first went to the place where his 'brother' had the accident, and the answer he got was similar to that of his parents. There were no 'remains' left there either, and it seemed that they had all been taken away.

Then he hailed another taxi, setting his destination in the north of the Aca district, where Ilo's 'home' was.

The north side of the Akka district has a better environment and better security than the south side. Although it can't compare to the Cloud District, which is a wealthy area, it is still considered one of the better areas in Winter.

It's one of the 'livable' areas.

In the taxi, Heo received a message from Vili.

When Vili sent him her personal business card, he also sent her his own.

Vili: [Ilo, your skis and harpoon are still with me. Do you need to leave them with me?]

He Ao glanced at the message and quickly replied: [I'll come pick it up later.]

His 'little coffin' was still too big, and it was inconvenient to carry it around. He needed to check some things first before he could retrieve it.

Veri quickly replied: [Okay]

He Ao put down the bracelet and looked up ahead.

The Akar district doesn't have many tall buildings; narrow, low-rise old buildings are scattered along both sides of the street. Apart from chain convenience stores, the most common sight along the street is the shops of house rental companies with brightly lit advertising screens hanging at their doors.

Photos of exquisitely decorated rental apartments flashed continuously on the advertising screen, below which were price tags that looked incredibly attractive.

Below the advertising screens, along the street, stretched a long line of old tents covered in snow.

On the large screen in the shopping mall not far away, a female host with a graceful figure, wearing an elegant short skirt, is broadcasting the news facing the camera.

"United Industries recently signed a third-quarter energy mineral supply order with Rockwell Energy Group."

"It is understood that after two years of rapid development, the federal government’s demand for energy has increased significantly, and the prices of helium-3 and deuterium are expected to continue to rise throughout the year."

"Winter, as the Federation's largest producer of energy minerals, may also benefit from this price increase."

"United Industries CEO Vincent said that United Industries will continue to increase its investment in the Storm Sea and intensify the extraction of helium-3 in the Storm Sea to meet the Federation's new energy needs as much as possible."

"Citizens who already own United Industries stock are welcome to continue to increase their holdings. As one of the most profitable publicly traded companies in the entire Federation, United Industries will not let you down."

Directly below the giant shopping mall screen, a tent, slightly deformed by the weight of the snow, trembled.

An elderly man with gray hair pushed open the tent flap, glanced up at the female host on the screen who was speaking with a hint of excitement, shook off the thick snow on the tent, then went back inside and covered the tent flap with the flap.

Driverless taxis slowly drove through the streets, gently rolling over the ice-covered pavement.

After a short drive of about half an hour, He Ao arrived at a relatively tidy neighborhood.

He got out of the car and looked around at the buildings that were both strangely familiar and vaguely remembered.

There was still about a street to go from Yiluo's house. Instead of going straight home, He Ao slowly strolled around the streets surrounding the house.

He carefully scanned all the suitable spots around him to stake out the area and meticulously observed every suspicious person.

Ultimately, he became certain of one thing.

There were no people monitoring the area around the house, and there were no signs of a fire inside.

Then he calmly walked back to his apartment building.

For the people who attacked the Ilo family, there seemed to be nothing of interest in the Ilo family's house; their focus was solely on the 'people' inside.

A family of four, three of them died, their bodies...

They took them all away, including a comatose child lying in a coffin who fell into a dangerous stormy sea, and they even sent people to hunt him down.

For the sake of optimal resource allocation, He Ao couldn't think of a reason to place spies in the Yi Luo family.

The biggest question surrounding this matter is why they would send a D-level cyborg and a cultist capable of unleashing near-C-level combat power and influencing monsters in the Storm Sea to hunt down a vegetative child who had fallen into the Storm Sea.

He Ao walked to his front door, leaned against the wall, and placed his hand on the fingerprint lock on the door.

This fingerprint lock is quite old; it seems to be the one where Ilo once registered my fingerprint.

click -

With a soft click, the fingerprint lock unlocked, and He Ao pushed open the door.

However, he did not go in immediately, but leaned against the wall next to the door and waited quietly for a while.

He only went inside the house after confirming that no one had attacked him.

Everything in the living room was as usual. The air was a little cool, and there was a half-cold cup of coffee on the dining table, which seemed to be the older brother's cup.

The blanket on the sofa was piled up in a wrinkled mess, as if the person who left had left in a hurry.

He Ao closed the door and went into the study.

Opposite the door in the study is a sturdy metal base, where Ilo's 'nutrient capsule' used to be placed.

He Ao turned his gaze away from the metal base, walked to the desk, and turned on his father's computer.

Then he looked at the password input screen and entered '1216'.

This is Ilo's birthday.

With a 'ding' sound, the computer lock screen slowly unlocked.

I'll update tomorrow afternoon, a little later!

Chapter 764 Talent Sequence 127 (Mega Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Ilo's father's computer homepage was very simple, with only a few work software programs and a folder containing various game image packs.

He Ao first logged into those work software programs in stealth mode, then connected the bracelet to the computer, allowing Eve to collect and organize the files and chat logs on the computer.

Eve quickly categorized and organized the files on the computer.

After removing some holographic films from her computer that were not suitable for children, she went through all her work-related files and chat logs and compiled a simple summary report.

These documents and records indirectly reveal the development of Yiluo's father's company in recent years. It is evident that in the last three years, the company has received fewer and fewer commissions and has gradually become unprofitable.

However, it is worth noting that, judging from the records of various work documents, the incident at Yiluo marked a turning point in the company's overall operations.

Since Yiluo's accident, the company has been receiving fewer and fewer commissions.

First, some long-term clients suddenly stopped cooperating with us, and after a while, the number of new clients also suddenly decreased.

Until recently, some of the security companies in the same industry began to maliciously compete with Yiluo's company, even offering prices below cost in order to steal customers from the company.

These changes are not gradual, but rather 'step-by-step'.

It looked as if Yiluo's father had been negotiating with some power, and these gradual changes were the power playing its cards one by one to put pressure on Yiluo's father.

He remembered the 'old friend' who had visited his father twice; he seemed to have always wanted to acquire Ilo's father's company.

According to Ilo's memory, Ilo had an accident shortly after his old friend first visited his father, and Ilo's family had an accident shortly after his second visit to his father.
