Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 73 Special Investigator Tan Qi

Tan Qi, Special Investigator of Bureau 725.

She is 163cm tall and weighs 42kg. She has beautiful chestnut short hair that is neatly styled with the ends slightly curled inwards.

Her bangs were trimmed just right, adding a touch of softness to her delicate features.

She usually wears a short black trench coat over a light gray turtleneck sweater.

The bottoms were fitted dark trousers, which were black skinny jeans, and the shoes were black ankle boots with low heels.

In the impression of many colleagues, Tan Qi has always been someone who is unapproachable.

However, only a few people know that's not the case.

For example, Su Feng.

For example, team leader Zhou Daoshen.

"Report!"

Tan Qi walked into the office and called out.

Zhou Daoshen smiled, as if he were a close relative of Tan Qi.

Seeing that smile, Tan Qi remained expressionless, but her heart skipped a beat.

She realized that the captain was about to set someone up.

She looked around and found that there was no one else in the office except her.

So, the answer is obvious: the captain is trying to trick her.

"Come on in, have a seat."

Zhou Daoshen picked up a teacup from the coffee table and personally poured a cup of tea for Tan Qi: "Have some tea. This is a good tea that I managed to get with great difficulty. It can inhibit pollution to some extent."

"Thank you, Captain."

Tan Qi took the tea and carefully took a sip.

In an instant, she felt much lighter, both physically and mentally; it really worked.

"Captain, am I doomed to fail on this mission?"

,

Zhou Daoshen was starting to lose his composure. This kid was good in every other way, except he was too blunt.

She shouted, "Nonsense! What rubbish! If this mission really goes wrong, it won't just be your tragedy, it will be the tragedy of the entire city. Don't think about these things anymore."

Tan Qi held the teacup, her eyes fixed intently on Zhou Daoshen.

A tragedy for the entire city of Shanghai?

What's going on?

Zhou Daoshen raised his hand, hesitated, and said, "The task I'm giving you is to make contact with Su Feng's older sister, Su Xiaoshuang."

?

Tan Qi's heart skipped a beat: "Captain, has Su Feng's sister been corrupted?"

"nonsense!"

Zhou Dao took a deep breath.

""

This is another problem for Tan Qi.

A bizarre incident caused Tan Qi's hair to turn chestnut brown, and her brain was also affected.

There's nothing wrong with her intelligence, she just tends to overthink.

However, thanks to this overthinking, Tan Qi was able to survive every time she participated in the bizarre games.

Zhou Daoshen activated the soundproof energy field in the office and said, "What I'm about to tell you is top secret from Bureau 725, and it's related to the mission you're about to receive. You can't tell anyone."

"Why don't you contact Su Feng?" Tan Qi asked again.

"The strange game that Su Feng is participating in this time is a bit special, and she won't be able to get out for a while," Zhou Daoshen said. "But the crisis facing Shanghai is imminent, and a strange messenger has come to Shanghai."

A mysterious messenger?

Tan Qi's eyes widened.

This word was both very familiar and extremely unfamiliar to her.

It's familiar because after joining Bureau 725, I could see some of it every time I looked at the data.

It feels unfamiliar because I've never encountered anything like it since I started working.

In addition, there is a Sequence 3 demigod in the 725th Bureau of Shanghai.

This means that many people are not overly shocked by the appearance of the eerie messenger.

However, this time, Captain Zhou Daoshen's expression was more solemn than ever before.

This shows that the situation is really serious.

and many more.

Tan Qi came to her senses.

She stared wide-eyed at Zhou Daoshen.

No, she's a regular player at Sequence 7 who's going to carry out a mission related to the Strange Envoy.

"team leader----"

"Don't speak. You've already heard a lot of top secrets. It's too late to back out now."

Zhou Daoshen said, "In addition, big data shows that out of the 725 bureaus in the entire Shanghai, only you are suitable for this mission."

Tan Qi fell silent, staring directly at Zhou Daoshen.

However, after less than three seconds of silence, she couldn't help but ask, "Captain Zhou, do you suspect that Su Xiaoshuang is a mysterious messenger?"

Zhou Daoshen slapped his forehead: "I already told you, don't overthink it!"

Fortunately, he activated a soundproof barrier.

If today's conversation were overheard by some investigator with super hearing, and then accidentally spread, it could cause a major incident.

"Let me tell you, Su Feng, her contamination level is 0."

Zhou Daoshen said solemnly, "Su Xiaoshuang, her contamination level is also 0. Do you think someone with a contamination level of 0 can be a strange messenger?"

This needs to be made clearer, otherwise, if it continues to be misunderstood, it will waste more than just time.

"Won't."

Tan Qi shook her head.

This question is beyond her scope; she doesn't know the answer.

Zhou Daoshen breathed a sigh of relief; this exchange was far too tiring.

"So, Su Xiaoshuang is a god?"

Tan Qi's words are always shocking.

Just one sentence was enough to make Zhou Daoshen lose his composure.

"No, we haven't detected any god-level fluctuations," Zhou Daoshen said. "However, Su Feng is Sequence 3, so I suspect Su Xiaoshuang's true strength isn't too low."

"It's just that Su Xiaoshuang has only recently become a player in the strange game, so it's hard to judge many things."

"The only data I have is that the bizarre games that Su Xiaoshuang participated in should only be entered by veteran players."

"That's why I want you to contact Su Xiaoshuang and see if you can get some help from her. Maybe we can get through this strange crisis safely."

"Otherwise, if the eerie messenger were to erupt, the entire city of Shanghai might be transformed into something eerie."

Fearing another interruption, Zhou Daoshen finished speaking in one breath this time.

However, Tan Qi still had something to say.

"Captain Zhou, have you ever been a god?"

Tan Qi retorted, "You've never been a god, so how do you know about the situation of gods? It's normal not to detect god-level fluctuations in this situation. Maybe the instruments we use to detect god-level fluctuations are useless."

"In God's eyes, these are not even considered toys."

"...

'

Zhou Daoshen was speechless once again.

Are you kidding me?

If there were a god-like figure in charge of Bureau 725, even if he didn't join the company, would he need to be so panicked?

The mere eerie messenger was found by the gods in no time, seized, and instantly refined.

Strange or bizarre events are unlikely to occur in Shanghai.

"go out!"

Zhou Daoshen said, "In short, this mission is entrusted to you!"

"yes!"

Investigator Tan Qi left the office.

Zhou Daoshen slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Could Su Feng's older sister, Su Xiaoshuang, really be a god?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Zhou Daoshen dismissed it.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh.

This is clearly due to Tan Qi's influence.

If Su Xiaoshuang is a god, then the demon realm would be created, and there would be many divine phenomena.

But there was nothing there.

Most importantly, after Su Feng joined Bureau 725, Su Xiaoshuang has always been a key protected person of Bureau 725.

Does Bureau 725 not know whether someone is a god or not?

In addition, a pollution value of 0 is understandable.

The pollution level of her younger sister, Su Feng, is also 0.

Perhaps Su Feng used some special protective magic.

Zhou Daoshen's expression turned serious. He dialed a number and said, "Connect me to the control center. I am the head of Bureau 725 in Shanghai. I hereby request that space-based weapons No. 35, 36, 99, 118, and 120 be aimed at Shanghai and ready to launch an attack at any time."

"Yes."

"No, not here either."

Su Xiaoshuang searched many websites but couldn't find any clues about the magic book.

If nothing unexpected happens, the magic book should have been collected by the relevant authorities.

"Is the only option left to contact Bureau 725?"

Su Xiaoshuang rubbed her temples, looking somewhat helpless.

correct!

Should we go back to the Magic Tower and talk to Vita, asking her to add a hidden rule?

Players who come to the Magic Tower and are willing to offer a magic book will have their chances of survival increased.

That way, she wouldn't have to worry about how to collect magic books.

However, this raises a new problem.

If some sinister god were to set its sights on the world of the Magic Tower, they would try to corrupt it using magic books.

This situation has occurred at Blackrock Mountain College and Smiling Square.

This is something that must be noted.

"It's troublesome, let me think about it for now."

Su Xiaoshuang stood up from her computer chair, twisted her waist slightly, and did a few stretches to loosen her muscles.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Ok?

Is it the community manager?

Su Xiaoshuang walked towards the surveillance camera with some confusion and found a chestnut-haired beauty standing at the door. She had a great figure and was dressed very stylishly.

But I'm scared of strangers.

"Bureau 725?"

Su Xiaoshuang noticed the logo on the other person's clothes and looked puzzled.

The next second, she became extremely nervous.

"Could it be that they found out I lost my USB drive and traced it directly to me?"

Su Xiaoshuang paced back and forth.

She searched online and found that the game "Magic Tower" had been promoted overseas.

These past few days, fearless netizens both at home and abroad have been cursing online.

According to incomplete statistics, at least 30 people worldwide have been selected to participate in the Magic Tower.

As for the others who clicked on GG, they were not selected because they did not meet the eligibility criteria.

Of course, they will still have the opportunity to participate if they become eligible in the future.

None of this matters.

The important thing is that Su Xiaoshuang is very scared; Bureau 725 has come to investigate.

After all, she left behind quite a few flaws.

For example, searching for a lost USB drive in a snack building is monitored by surveillance cameras.

For example, buying a new phone and posting on social media using a SIM card that doesn't require real-name registration, revealing the rules of the bizarre game Magic Tower.

With a dedicated investigation by Bureau 725 and the assistance of intelligent AI and big data, finding her will definitely be easy.

"What to do, what to do?"

After pacing back and forth a few steps, Su Xiaoshuang gently patted her face and made a major decision.

"As long as I deny it to the death, there won't be any problems."

"Yes, pretend I'm a professor of occultism at Blackrock Mountain College. Stay calm, stay calm."

After adjusting her mindset, Su Xiaoshuang pressed the control switch and opened the door.

If you don't open the door when someone arrives, people will suspect you're guilty.

Investigator Tan Qi entered the villa garden.

The garden is well taken care of.

It's clear that this place is maintained by professionals every day, so there aren't even any weeds in the garden.

For some reason, standing in the garden, she felt more relaxed than ever before.

It felt as if all the pollution in my body and soul was being purified.

Thinking of what Captain Zhou Daoshen said, she admired Su Feng even more.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is related to Su Feng's sister, Su Xiaoshuang.

Upon reaching the villa's gate, the door opened by itself.

"Hello, this is Tan Qi from Bureau 725."

Tan Qi stood at the door and said, "I'm coming in."

Su Xiaoshuang came downstairs, maintaining her mystical professor persona, and said, "Hello."

She almost lost her composure when she took the initiative to greet him.

Meeting strangers alone is too stressful.

"What's the matter?"

Su Xiaoshuang asked directly.

She doesn't know how to test people; it's better to just ask directly if there's a problem.

"Captain Zhou Daoshen sent me here to seek your help."

Tan Qi said, "These past few days, a weird game called Magic Tower has been spreading rapidly."

[They really are here to investigate me. What should I do? Should I run away?]

Upon hearing the keywords, Su Xiaoshuang became extremely nervous.

"After investigation, it has been confirmed that the source of the bizarre game is in Shanghai —"

Tan Qi continued.

She had no idea that she was in danger.

This must mean they've traced the USB drive back to me and found out I lost it.

Su Xiaoshuang became increasingly nervous, wondering whether she should give Tan Qi a purification of light before running away.

However, Tan Qi is Su Feng's colleague, so it wouldn't be right to actually lay a hand on her.

Tan Qi paused.

A strange tremor ran through the depths of her soul, as if she were about to face death at any moment.

But the words were spoken faster than her fears.

"Team Leader Zhou suspects that the eerie messenger spreading GG is in Shanghai. Bureau 725 needs to guard against the eerie messenger turning Shanghai into a strange place."

Tan Qi said, "However, Su Feng is not here, and no one in the 725 Bureau of Shanghai can take on this mission. Captain Zhou thinks you can help."

error?

Su Xiaoshuang blinked.

I couldn't find her before, I just wanted to ask her for help.

But she's so weak, how can we help her?

To make matters worse, her Silver Ring shield was broken during the battle at Smile Square.

To this day, Su Xiaoshuang still doesn't know how to charge the silver ring.

Fighting is definitely out of the question.

"How can I help?"

Su Xiaoshuang blinked and asked.

"have no idea."

Tan Qi answered.

Silence fell over the air.

Social anxiety left Su Xiaoshuang unsure of what to say.

Tan Qi then entered a state of frantic, divergent thinking.

Just now, she sensed the fear of facing death, but that fear came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

She strongly suspected that her investigation might have attracted the attention of the eerie messenger.

Even that strange messenger passed through here.

However, this is Su Feng's home.

That's why the strange messenger didn't come in.

Thinking of this, Tan Qi was filled with dread.

If she attracts a strange messenger and puts Su Xiaoshuang in danger, the consequences will be unimaginable when Su Feng returns.

Su Xiaoshuang was bewildered when she saw Tan Qi's icy expression suddenly turn fearful.

This isn't right.

Is this investigator from Bureau 725 also socially anxious?

Even if she's socially anxious, shouldn't she at least be the one trembling with fear first?

"Are you alright?" Su Xiaoshuang asked softly.

"Thank you, it's nothing."

Tan Qi glanced out the window, then at Su Xiaoshuang, and said in a low voice, "I feel like I'm being watched by a dangerous presence."
