Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

After Zhu Zheng read Robert's notes, he finally understood everything.

In his early years, Robert was just an ordinary history teacher and had a brief experience of tomb robbing.

As for the reason for tomb robbing?

Maybe it's for money, or maybe it's for excitement, but it's hard to verify.

During a tomb robbery, Robert unearthed an alchemy furnace.

In this alchemy furnace, he found multiple pieces of Pluto's medicine and the magic book The Secret of Worms, which made him feel like he had found a treasure.

In the decades that followed, Robert immersed himself in the study of magical books and traveled through time many times by taking the Pluto medicine.

The reason why he is good at ancient culture research is actually due to Pluto's medicine.

However, human curiosity is always infinite.

The smoothness of time travel greatly reduced his awe, and he suddenly decided to peek into the end of history.

During this time travel, he saw the city of Tindalos in the time gap, and the Hounds of Tindalos worshiping around the tower.

Robert is just an ordinary person who has had a magical experience. After seeing this weird scene, he was mentally shocked.

He immediately fled there, ended the time travel hastily, and recorded this strange experience in his notes.

It was also from this time on that he always dreamed of being chased by terrifying creatures, and his health deteriorated as a result.

The strange dream may be some kind of curse, or it may be due to excessive fright. In short, it is definitely related to what he saw in Tindaros City.

At this point in the story, Zhu Zheng also knew why the Hound of Tindalos appeared.

It was because Robert accidentally caught a glimpse of the hound that he was pursued relentlessly by the hound.

It's just that the city of Tindaros was too long ago, and the hound traveled through the time dimension based on the concept of space, so the hound didn't appear until today.

As for the strange story about Mogu and the death prophecy, it should be another version of the story.

Zhu Zheng closed his note, thoughtfully.

While Robert was concentrating on the study of magic books, a mysterious force also focused on him.

This force discovered Robert's secret and knew the existence of the secret vault. They placed people around Robert and waited for an opportunity to find the secret vault.

However, at this time, Robert was suffering from strange dreams, his physical condition was very bad, and he might die at any time.

In order to avoid danger, these people concocted ghost stories about death prophecies, hoping to use Robert's mentality of protecting the treasure to defraud the location of the secret vault.

If Zhu Zheng guessed correctly, this force had installed at least two people.

One is Mogu, and the other should be Hansa, the butler.

Because only with the cooperation of Hansa, the death prophecy can be performed seamlessly.

Just as the plan was progressing in an orderly manner, Zhu Zheng intervened on entrustment.

In order to prevent Zhu Zheng from disrupting the plan, Hansa once again cooperated with Mogu to create a strange event involving death through time.

After seeing Zhen Mogu, Zhu Zheng naturally knew that the deceased was just an unlucky guy who looked exactly like Mogu.

After all, they had just arrived in the villa not long ago and were not familiar with Mogu. With the cooperation of Zhen Mogu, they could easily be misled.

After the death of Fake Mogu, the strange story of death prophecy was confirmed again.

People in the villa were panicked.

Hansa originally wanted to wait for Zhu Zheng and others to leave before making the final plan. Who knew that Robert's health had deteriorated and he could only rely on medical equipment to maintain his life. As a last resort, Hansa chose to take action in advance.

He tells Robert the latest death prophecy.

Robert was indeed panicked and told everyone the location of the secret vault.

But no one expected that Robert had already noticed something unusual in the villa. He gave the news about another secret warehouse and trapped those people using the means he had arranged earlier.

But his real purpose was to enter the basement and set fire to it.

Zhu Zheng guessed that Robert's motive for doing this was for his posthumous reputation.

He won't live long, and there are too many secrets and some disgraceful history recorded here, so it's better to destroy it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zheng felt that his guess was almost accurate.

But at this moment, Zhu Zheng suddenly thought of something unusual about tool man Mogu.

As Mogu's companion, Hansa shouldn't be simple either.

Si Guo and others may be in danger.

Zhu Zheng looked at Anna and Lao Dao.

Can you still fight?

Anna immediately felt that the wound no longer hurt.

She got up from the ground, looking eager to try, It's still okay to hammer people.

ten minutes later.

Zhu Zheng came to the secret warehouse disguised as hills.

Seeing the chaotic footsteps on the ground, he knew he was in the right place.

Across the hills, Zhu Zheng called out the names of Qisi Guo and others.

It was not long before there was a sound coming from the hills.

Is it Zhu Zheng? I'm Si Guo, please help us.

Zhu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then asked casually: How are you doing now?

Si Guo: We are trapped inside, and the mechanism can only be opened from the outside.

Zhu Zheng: How is the situation inside?

Si Guo: Everyone is fine, but a little tired. They all fell asleep.

Zhu Zheng: Okay, I will rescue you right now.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Zheng called Anna over and whispered: When the door to the secret treasury is opened, if the first person to come out is Hansa the housekeeper, you will beat me to death.

Anna nodded.

She raised the bone-crushing hammer high with a serious look on her face.

It was dawn the next day.

Zhu Zheng dialed the number of the secret agency.

He was not kept waiting for too long. Follow-up investigators and Robert's family soon arrived at the floating island.

In front of everyone, Zhu Zheng said the words he had prepared in advance.

In the process of telling the story, he deliberately concealed Robert's notes, the medicine of Pluto and the Secret of the Worm.

Anyway, the basement is now destroyed, Robert is stupid, and both Mogu and Hansa died in his hands. This can be regarded as a death without evidence.

With the evidence of the strange corpses of Mogu and Hansa's semi-mechanized bodies, his argument is quite convincing.

It's a pity. Si Guo is an investigator that I value very much. I thought it was just ordinary relaxation.

The speaker was a muscular tyrant. Judging from his tone, he should be Si Guo's direct superior.

Zhu Zheng sighed.

I tried my best, but when I found the secret vault, they were already dead at the hands of the Hanse.

Big Muscle Ba also sighed, and he patted Zhu Zheng on the shoulder.

Go back. Just leave the matters here to us. Besides, your commission fee will not be less.

Double, that's Mr. Robert's promise.

The big muscle tyrant rubbed his brows.

I try my best.

Zhu Zheng nodded and left the floating island in the aircraft.

Looking at the floating island gradually moving away, Zhu Zheng had a dog tag in his hand.

There is a line of text engraved on the dog tag.

[Sanshui Psychiatric Hospital, Captain of the Ninth Security Brigade, Charlie Quinnier].

This is an item found on Hansa's body.

Under his gaze, a line of words twisted like smoke appeared on the dog tag.
