Although this huge amount of money needs to be submitted after returning home, according to the rules of the forum, the big guys can still donate a lot.

If not only rely on one's own savings to support the lavish yacht expenses, which also include gambling, no one will be able to spend it.

Not long after the reply from the emperor Xiao Leng came, the gang leader Shi Chuan who had wished to meet the J country finally appeared. Xiao Leng and him had a good look at each other. Shi Chuan generously expressed that he had heard the emperor tell them about the matter, and that he could investigate the singing and dancing hall he controlled first.

The investigation plan for the singing and dancing hall was set for the next day. At night, the tycoon investigated the casino first.

The casino covers half of the submarine's hull, except for the back kitchen which cannot be entered, other places can be entered.

Under the emperor's permission, they carefully checked every corner, but still found nothing.

normal, normal...

The team members comforted themselves on one side, while feeling more or less lost.

Loss outside, of course also some lack of confidence.

Returning to the five-story guest room, he and the emperor reached an agreement that the team members did not need to pretend to be ignorant of those exposed eavesdroppers. After Xiao Leng entered the house, he directly took down the eavesdropper and threw it into the toilet. Yang Ge lay down on the sofa exhaustedly and asked everyone, "Do you think that 'that ancient force' is possibly not on this ship at all?"

"Of course there is." Ren Ningning poured wine in front of the bar, "I've always felt that 'that ancient force' isn't that easy to find. According to the clues provided by that committee member, this ship is the most suitable place to meet the requirements, but it's not necessarily the right place."

"However, we still want to investigate it thoroughly, not leaving any corner untouched."

After saying that, she carried two glasses of wine and walked over, one for Duong Ca and one for Diep Tich, then went to stir.

Wang Xinran asked: "Now that we have the Emperor's support, can we split into groups tomorrow and investigate a few places at the same time?"

"Yes." Xiao Leng walked out of the bathroom and nodded, "There are 33 people in total now. Tomorrow, we will split into 5 groups and act in unison. I have discussed with Han Yuan and Zhang Zhao that we will split into two teams."

After saying that, he glanced at Duong Ca: "You choose seven people."

Duong Ca smiled: "I want Tich Tich."

Tieu Lanh raised his eyebrows expressionlessly: "No reward for guessing, guess why I didn't let Diep Tich choose seven people?"

"Like, so awesome." Yang Ge rolled his eyes, but instead began to seriously choose people. He didn't let Xiao Leng snatch Ye Xi away again, and he had the potential to prove that he didn't have to go all out.

.

Early the next morning, the squad followed the rules and went to eat breakfast, then Xiao Leng went to the J country mafia to control the singing and dancing hall as scheduled, and the other teams also went to their destinations as planned.

This dance hall is located on a cruise ship, made up of several boxes, and seems suitable for small-scale gatherings. However, outside there is also a large hall that can accommodate a few hundred people dancing disco at the same time.

The reason why Xiao Leng decided to investigate the singing and dancing hall during the day was because the singing and dancing hall was at its best at night. They would not be late to Shichuan during the day to do business, and the other party would also be relatively easy to talk to.

But as soon as the group of people arrived at the entrance of the singing and dancing hall, they saw Shi Chuan waiting here for his subordinates to welcome him first. Without saying a word, he bowed 90 degrees.

Everyone under the feet stopped: "?"

The whole world knows that the main etiquette of Japan is bowing, but ordinary greetings are not so exaggerated.

So Vuong Tam Nhiem took a step forward and directly asked in J national language: "Excuse me, what happened?"

"That's right." The other party sat up, his face full of apologies as he said to Xiao Leng, "Sorry, Mr. Zhang, yesterday night's singing and dancing incident was a bit unexpected, our people just came here to clean up the scene, we can only ask you to wait a moment."

Diep Tich and Tieu Lanh looked at each other, then said a few words to Vuong Tam Nhiem. Vuong Tam Nhiem dutifully passed on the message: "May I ask what happened? Is it a life-or-death struggle or..."

"No, this young lady." The other party was a bit embarrassed, "There must be someone who broke the rules and was killed, but the situation was too bloody, so..."

Diep Tich's eyes slightly paused: "Against what rules?"

The other side shook his head: "We don't know, we weren't at the scene at that time, we discovered what happened to them in the morning."

Wang Xinran said: "Bloody case? Wouldn't the strange murder scene be updated very soon, or would the NPC come out to deal with the corpse?"

"Ah... It's like this when it comes to lectures." The other party nodded, "But this is a singing and dancing hall, NPCs can only come to work at night. Mr. Shi Chuan said that you guys want to come investigate during the day, he told us to quickly clean it up."

Having finished speaking, he instinctively glanced inside, but the light in the singing and dancing hall was dim, and the incident happened in a private box, so he couldn't see anything from there.

He just had to turn his head back and said with a smile: "It will be handled soon."

Diep Tich looked at him, suspicion appearing in his eyes.

Tieu Lanh seemed to be thinking about something: "Can we go in and see the scene?"

The other party was stunned by this request. Although it was unexpected, he still nodded: "Of course… that's fine, please come with me."

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and walked inside. The squad immediately caught up. Diep Tich glanced at the figure in front of him and asked Tieu Lang in a low voice, "You don't trust them either?"

Tieu Lanh raised his eyebrows: "'also'?"

Diep Tich coughed and turned his gaze to the side. Very quickly, they were brought to a box in front of the door by the other party.

Someone was cleaning up inside, the other party pushed the door open, first calling them out. The team members were covered behind him, basically couldn't see the situation inside the room, only heard a strong bloody atmosphere.

After a few simple words of communication, the Shi Chuan sent people to collect the remnants of the dungeon and left. The person who had just led the way for them said, "This is a death copy after all. We want to go to the next box to complete the copy mission. Please check this side first."

"Okay." Xiao Leng nodded, conveniently pushed open the automatically closing door of the room, after their eyes adjusted to the colorful rotating lights of the room, everyone could clearly see the miserable state of the room.

This place must have been dead one after another, blood splattered all over the walls, on the ground was even more exaggerated, those congealed blood almost formed a layer of carpet, sticky and giving off a fishy smell.

Before they entered, several corpses had already been carried away by those J people in the country. They could only judge the number of dead people through the traces left on the floor.

"A total of six individuals." Xiao Leng walked in, stood at the door of the room, and looked around, "When the incident happened, four were on the ground, two were... standing on the sofa."

Diep Tich had never seen him as a police officer before, but now he heard it as if he was in a fog, and grabbed Vuong Tam Nhiem beside him: "You see why..."

"... No." Wang Xinran was equally stunned.

Guo Ying kindly explained: "The blood stains on the wall behind the sofa are much higher than other places. If you were to sit on the sofa or stand on the ground, it would be difficult to reach such a height. Also——" she pointed to the blood stains on the coffee table, "That is clearly the mark left by a fallen corpse."

Diep Tich understood at this moment. Those two blood stains were very long, covering the entire coffee table. If the person was sitting on the sofa, the fall forward would not have lasted so long.

Wang Xinran was a little nauseous from the dense smell of blood. She forced herself to restrain herself and asked, "What was the cause of death? So much blood… was it from being beaten?"

Tieu Lanh looked around at the blood stains and shook his head: "I have never seen any weapon that can create this amount of bleeding without affecting the surrounding environment, so it must be caused by supernatural power."

"From the amount of bleeding, it was most likely internal violence, the deceased's body parts exploded directly, a large amount of blood splattered everywhere, but at the same time left behind a large body mass."

"The people in the country are not lying to us, they are not fighting to the death in the mafia, it is against the rules." Speaking up to here, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

"That... What are the rules?" Wang Xinran became nervous.

"No rush." Ye Xi pursed his lips, "If the J people in the country can change seats to do missions, that means we can also... Let's go, find a clean place."

Although she was used to seeing strange dead people, she still didn't want to stay in a place filled with blood for even a second.

The tycoon therefore turned around and changed to a clean, empty box. This time, he saw a brand new rule at the coffee table in the middle of the box.

"——To ensure that all customers enjoy their time at our dance hall, please strictly abide by the following rules:"

"1. This dance hall is divided into a main hall and a box. No matter which area you choose to perform the experience, you will need to wait for 30 minutes;

2. You are required to do at least one single point, please press down to call the spirit to call the store staff;

3. The uniform of the shop assistant is red, if you press the call button, the shop assistant will wear blue uniform, please respond skillfully;

4. Every time you order, you can get a free fruit tray. Please feel free to eat it, but you don't need to eat the cherries inside;

5. Used to drink drinks first, please confirm the drink color is not normal;

6. If you accidentally drink an unusual beverage, please disregard rule 4, immediately eat at least 1 cherry, then call the store staff;

7. Please ensure that your time in the singing room, projector and pavilion does not exceed 1 minute;

8. When the projector starts singing, please make sure that there is someone singing or dancing with you and your companions. Of course, you can rest, but the time between singing and dancing should not exceed 5 minutes."

The rich people sat together and finished reading the rules. Guo Ying's eyebrows furrowed: "How could this happen? Are the people in the country still deceiving us?"

Just now that person said frankly that there were no NPCs coming to work, so there was no one to collect the bodies.

But the rule says, ask to call the store staff.

Diep Tich shook his head: "Not necessarily, this is a strange talk, it cannot be completely based on real life speculation."

If this kind of murder case happened in reality... Even assuming the police weren't alerted, workers would definitely clean up immediately before business could resume as usual.

But as the rules of the game say, the so-called store employees are all NPCs, so he can completely make this system simple and crude, during the day only NPCs that can be summoned by the player will appear, only at night will normal NPCs come to "go to work".

Moreover, this kind of detail is not too important at present. Regardless of whether the J people in the country are lying to them or not, they have now completed the investigation, and passed through this copy.

Xiao Leng opened the countdown timer on his phone and started timing: "We will first conduct a single point, then start investigating the box, and after that, we will make sure to complete a new single point every half hour."

"Alright." The team members responded in unison. Ye Xi raised his eyebrows: "Let's analyze the rules first——can anyone verify the sixth one?"

Rule 6: If you accidentally drink an unusual beverage, please disregard rule 4, immediately eat at least 1 cherry, then call the store staff.

She suspected the intermediate rule section was fake.:, n..,.Guo Ying raised her hand: "I'm coming!"

She spoke as she activated the props, an inexplicable sense of nervousness made her glance at everyone.

After Truong Lap Binh sacrificed and Tran Dang Vu left the ship, their squad still had 13 people left. Today, the soldiers split into two groups. Duong Ca brought seven people, and they still had six people left.

The seven people on their side are: Her, Tieu Lanh, Vuong Tam Nhiem, Quach Dinh, Vuong Canh and Tieu Manh.

Guo Ying's other side of the rule verification quickly gave a result: "This rule... is real."

Diep Tich was stunned: "Is it completely true? Including that middle sentence?"

"I am a [fake fighter], only when the rules are completely real, can they appear real." Guo Ying nodded, "So, that's right, the middle part of this rule is also completely real."

Diep Tich couldn't help but frown, holding the phone to take a picture of the complete rule, then took a picture of 4, 5, 6 three separate things.

"4. Every time you order, you will be able to get a free fruit tray. Please feel free to eat it, but you don't need to eat the cherries inside;"

"5. Before drinking, please confirm whether the color of the drink is abnormal;"

"6. If you accidentally drink an unusual beverage, please disregard rule number four, immediately eat at least one cherry, and then call the store staff."

These three rules have a causal relationship between them.

Cherries cannot be eaten, before drinking the drink, check whether the color is abnormal. If you accidentally drink a drink with an abnormal color, the originally problematic cherry will turn into a life-saving divine weapon.

Beside, Xiao Leng had already pressed the call button, calling the store staff. Entering the box provided by the store staff wearing red uniforms, it was safe, everyone casually ordered a carbonated drink, after the drink was delivered, they immediately began to hurriedly check this box.

The area of ​​the box is about the same as a normal KTV big box, but most of it is empty space, probably used by the rich to dance disco.

But, the current tycoon clearly doesn't have time to worry about dancing Disco.

"Who sings well?" Ye Xi asked the boss with a microphone. The rules required the projector to sing loudly at all times. If a sellout occurred, the sellout could not exceed 1 minute. During this time, someone had to sing or dance. Without someone singing or dancing, the time could not exceed 5 minutes.

In other words, during the investigation, there was someone who was always there to provide human voice BGM...

With the little guy volunteering to take on the job: "I'll go!" He took the microphone and randomly picked a few songs that were on the top of the list.

With Xiao Meng being one of the 6 teams sent to participate in this special mission, Ye Xi was not familiar with her before, but he had heard her tone of voice.

I heard that the sect leader is coming.

Now that I've heard it with my own ears, she sings really well. At first, she complained that this song only had accompaniment and no original lyrics, but when she actually sang, she still felt no pressure.

Three songs time, box investigation completed, still found nothing.

Tieu Lanh looked at his watch: "Go to the next room, little mermaid finished singing in 1 minute."

The voice was steady, and the tycoon immediately took action.

The investigation work was tedious and boring, and there was no progress that the big guys were looking forward to, making people very frustrated.

So in the past 28 minutes, when everyone was about to start the next round of single points, Ye Xi even couldn't help but look forward to it, turning the strange little challenge into a chance to touch fish in a boring job.

Go to work to touch the fish, really a race.

After that, Tieu Lanh pressed down to call the spirit again.

Then, everyone saw the door of the room being pushed open, and a shop employee wearing blue uniform walked in.

Everyone was silent and exchanged a look.

In the beginning of the strange talk rule, the big guys are inexperienced in dealing with copies, many people encounter this kind of situation and will fight back, shouting loudly in front of the store staff.

But now, no one would be so stunned.

The blue-clothed shop assistant smiled and looked at the tycoon: "Do you have any requests, dear customers?"

"Let's get some drinks." Xiao Leng looked at him, the magic shop employee seemed to take out a wine list from behind.

Tieu Leng opened the wine list, the team members all went to the side to take a look, the wine list was the same as the one just brought by the red-clothed shop employee, the difference was that this one had no price.

Diep Tich glanced at the store employee and asked cautiously: "Do you have any recommendations?"

"The drinks in this shop are not bad, madam, you can come and try them all." The shop assistant was also polite and gentle.

No special recommendation, then there should be no draw.

Diep Tich nodded: "I want Coca."

"I want Coca too..."

"I want Sprite."

The teammates were excitedly making their choices, but the destination was not very bright. With the little girl still singing, Wang Xinran also ordered a glass of Sprite for her. Xiao Leng opened the envelope and asked, "How much is it?"

"This time the drinks are free." The smile on the shop assistant's face grew a little thicker, "As long as someone sings a song with me."

If not, still charge a fee...

Possessions are like that.

But of course no one would be stupid enough to say this.

The store clerk's eyes scanned the patrolling crowd, and finally stopped at the singing girl's face: "This lady's singing is very good, let her sing with me."

"..." With the little cute island not afraid, but a song just sang to the end of the weak point, she therefore very interestingly sang a head of " Towards the sky borrowed 500 years " to express her feelings at this moment.

.

8 floors, SSSVIP top loft.

A subordinate entered the room with a cell phone and glanced at his companion in the living room. His companion looked towards the bedroom and the person who had come walked over.

But just after walking a few steps, Nac Tap just happened to come out of the bedroom.

He was wearing a long, loose-fitting bathrobe, his old face showing signs of fatigue from a hangover.

He sat on the sofa and waved to the person who had just entered: "Let me look."

Just entered the room, the person pointed at a few screens, opened a video, and showed it to Nac Tap.

The video was filmed in 5 floors, in the video, several East Asian faces are standing on the porch.

In the video, clearly in a blink of an eye, the subordinate promptly hit the screen, ordering the video to pause: "Their boss is this person."

He pointed at the middle screen of the twenty-something man: "I checked, he originally claimed to be Zhang Ke from the northern region, but was later transmigrated by Kong Di. He also said that they were originally in the army, and after being discharged, they went to the M country to become mercenaries."

Nac Tap said nothing, he raised his hand to lower the screen, and ordered the video to continue broadcasting the message.

The appearance of the monster is fake, even if the other party stood in front of him, he still wouldn't recognize who it was, so looking at the face is meaningless.

But as the video continued to broadcast, he observed without blinking, and quickly came to a conclusion: "They are indeed not ordinary people, they have undergone professional training, they are not soldiers, they are police."

He paused for a moment and asked again: "Is there a recording?"

The subordinate shook his head: "The Emperor refused to sell us the wiretapping device. However..." He glanced at the person with a gloomy expression, "I asked around with someone at the casino last night and found someone from country S. He speaks Chinese and said their Mandarin is very good, but their accent… is a bit more northern."

"North?" Noc Tac narrowed his eyes, a coldness appeared in the depths of his eyes.

He grew up in the Golden Triangle, and is very familiar with the M country. In the northern part of the M country, whether they are from the open region or mercenaries, a large portion of them are indeed from the C country, or have C country blood.

But because of geographical location, 90% of them are southerners, the vast majority of people come from Y province and G province directly bordering them.

But these two local dialects, happen to be extremely different from Mandarin, strictly speaking they are not even considered the same language. Therefore, people who grew up in these two places, even if they learned Mandarin in school since they were young, in their hometowns, they would still be covered with a thick hometown accent.

Therefore, "Mandarin is very good, but the accent is a bit more northern", this is an extremely rare situation.

In my impression, I almost never heard this kind of accent in M ​​country, let alone heard any big boss or mercenary leader with this kind of accent.

"Look straight at them, know their purpose." He said calmly.

Then suddenly there was a flash of thought, he thought of something.

... He thought of city B.

As the capital of C country, it is undoubtedly the most famous city in the northern part of C country.

But more than twenty years ago, when he was still relatively prosperous, he did indeed have some interactions with this city.

Thinking of this, he instructed again: "If necessary, tie up one of them and ask for details. For now, there is no need to risk human lives. We cannot give Mr. Kong Emperor a hard time."

"Good." The subordinate nodded, then quietly retreated, following his orders to make arrangements.

.

The singing and dancing audience, with Xiao Meng, although the person is just like the name, but when he gathered his energy in his dantian and sang "I really feel like I've borrowed another 500 years ——" he was still very heroic.

If only a blue tentacle monster with fangs and claws hadn't attacked her, and even inserted its long tentacles into her mouth and nose, it would have been even better.

A group of teammates sat silently together looking at her. Although they all wanted to step forward to help, at this moment all they could do was wait.

The store clerk's request was to sing a song in chorus. After the song started, the store clerk's voice echoed in the room. But if it was a chorus, of course, Xiao Meng couldn't stop.

So this is a test of psychological qualities, no matter how scary the tentacle monster is, she must finish singing.

Not far away, in the box under the J country's gangsters, the people and the tentacle monster choir were also performing. As the controllers of this music and dance hall, they had long since understood the scenario here.

... But clearly it is one thing, experiencing it yourself is another.

Halfway through the song, the yellow-haired young man holding the microphone was trembling like crazy, but he still managed to maintain his singing, just a little shaky, without any pause.

The blue tentacle monster seemed to be very curious about his state. A tentacle that was originally on his neck slowly moved and stretched out towards his face. The tentacle tip and his face remained about five centimeters apart.

Huang Mao tried hard to stay calm, telling himself to read the lyrics and not look at the tentacles, but the monster right before his eyes was really hard not to look.

Suddenly ——

"Wow ——" The tentacles suddenly opened towards the yellow-haired face, and six long petals sprouted from its forehead. The petals were covered with sharp teeth, and in the middle was a blood-red, thin tongue.

Huang Mao was so scared that his hand trembled, the microphone fell down and hit the ground.

The singing suddenly stopped, only the joyful and lively accompaniment still lingered in the box. The tentacles that had overflowed immediately became excited, letting out another roar, and pounced towards the yellow-haired man.

The six petals just barely held his face tightly, the yellow fur screamed loudly trying to grab it down, but the slippery tentacles were basically impossible to grasp.:, n..,.
