After taking care of the situation, Lin Sheng walked out of the rented yard.
There was a sign outside the yard: Ironfist Martial Arts Club.
There were signs of unfinished renovations around, and some places were not even painted properly.
"They really just got a random place …" Lin Sheng was speechless.
No wonder those guys were so fast.
He didn't look anymore and looked left and right along the street where the Ironfist Club was located.
There was an internet cafe on the right with a sign on the door: New Century Cafe.
A few fifteen or sixteen-year-old kids were squatting in front of the door, smoking and bragging.
"I haven't been online for a while. Time to go shopping. "
Lin Sheng's heart skipped a beat as he casually walked towards the internet cafe.
He walked past the two smoking teenagers and pushed open the transparent glass door.
Inside were two neat rows of slightly dirty computers.
On the right side of the door was a counter where a girl no older than twenty was watching a soap opera while eating instant noodles.
There was a sign on the counter: $1.50 per hour, members who top up 100 get 50 free.
"Get me a computer, I'll go for three hours."
Lin Sheng looked at the clock on the wall. Since he was already out, he found an excuse to go out for a picnic with his friends. He had his own plans for the entire afternoon.
It was only three o 'clock now. Three hours later, he could go back home after dinner.
The girl looked up at him.
"Tell me your ID number. Do you remember? If you don't remember to use a temporary card, it's a little more expensive. "
Lin Sheng quickly told her his number and paid for a computer.
He bought a bottle of mineral water from the bar counter, took the water, and sat down in front of his corresponding machine.
He pressed the power button and waited for the blue CPU icon, motherboard icon, and then the operating system NWE to appear on the screen.
NWE was this world's operating system similar to the Windows platform. It was developed overseas and abused by Celine in China.
After Lin Sheng sat down, he pulled the chair closer to the screen, held the mouse, and clicked on an icon on the desktop.
It was an animated blue and white interstellar battleship icon.
This was Celine's popular real-time strategy game, similar to Starcraft.
The controls were similar to Starcraft's Red Alert.
This was Lin Sheng's favorite.
For this reason, he even joined an online group of people with similar interests.
He quickly logged into the game. Lin Sheng's username was Seven Feet Big Khan.
As soon as he logged into the sci-fi style game interface, a notification sounded from the friend interface on the right.
Sunset Star: "You there?"
Sunset Star: "Let's do it together!"
Sunset Star: "Are you there?"
The Sunset Star: "Not again?"
Falling Leaf on the Horizon: "Is Seven Feet there?"
King's Hate: "F * ck! We f * cking lost again. Seven Feet, if you don't come, our group is going to be destroyed! "
Sunset Star: "The people at the Copper Furnace are too arrogant! Seven Feet, look for me when you're online! You're the only one left! "
Sunset Star: "It's been so long and you still haven't come?!"
Lin Sheng looked at the time. The most recent post was two days ago.
Because of his good skills, he had always been the main force of the game in a small chat group with a few of his comrades.
Unfortunately, ever since the nightmare, he had focused most of his energy on his dreams. He hadn't played for a long time.
Even if he came to the internet cafe occasionally, it was to look up information about dreams and swordsmanship.
Beep beep.
Suddenly, a notification sounded.
The Starset Over Sunset: "Finally! Let's do it! "
Lin Sheng was surprised. This guy was the most frequently online among the eight people in the small chat group. He was almost a fanatic of Starpath. When he went crazy, he could play from morning to night.
"Come on. You form a team, "Lin Sheng replied.
"Okay."
The two of them quickly formed a team. Then, they called for the others. Unfortunately, they weren't there.
Soon, the game began. They randomly selected their opponents.
Although Lin Sheng hadn't played for a long time, this game depended on hand speed and strategic awareness. It was similar to fighting.
Therefore, his skills didn't deteriorate much. Together with Sunset Star, they quickly achieved the first kill.
They cleanly defeated the first two opponents in the first round. The whole process took less than 20 minutes.
Then, it was the second and third round.
After playing for close to an hour, Lin Sheng also felt bored. He paused and began.
Sunset Star: "Why? Isn't it a holiday today? "
Seven Feet: "I have something to do. I'm not playing anymore."
Sunset Star: "What's the matter? Let's do it!"
Seven Feet: "I really have something to do. I've been very busy at home recently. I don't have that much time to play."
Sunset Star: "Even Crown isn't as busy as you. Aren't you a student? What are you busy with all day? "
Seven Feet: "I have something to deal with."
Sunset Star: "Crown will be passing by Huaisha soon. Why don't we have a party here? I'll book the venue! "
Lin Sheng looked at the screen and smiled.
He had mentioned in the group that he was a poor student with little pocket money and little time online. And this Sunset Star seemed to have a good family background. He didn't seem to care about the internet fees at all.
Now that he said he wanted to book the venue, it was obvious that he wasn't short of money.
He smiled and replied casually.
"Whatever. It depends on everyone."
Sunset Star grumbled a few more times. The two played another round, and Lin Sheng went offline.
Not playing games, he opened the search engine and skimmed into Huaisha's Tieba to see if there were any new posts.
Soon, a post that was posted two hours ago appeared in front of him.
"Robbery and murder in Blackwater District, south of the city, live broadcast!"
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes and quickly opened it.
The post was posted by a guy called WindTalker. The first page was a photo of the murder scene.
The scene seemed to be in an unfinished construction site room.
The floor was dark red with blood, and three words were written on the wall: Do you love me?
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the following post.
"It's this damn place again. There have been several incidents at this unfinished building site, but people still don't listen and dare to go there! They don't want to live! "
"It was a man last time. He was also robbed and died here. This is so strange."
"Not only that, a couple also disappeared here, leaving only a room full of blood."
"Have the police been there?"
"God knows how many times, but it's useless. The murderer left nothing behind. "
Lin Sheng silently browsed through all the posts and fell into deep thought.
Huaisha was not big, but it was not small either. He had actually heard of a few cases like this.
The police had investigated many times, but they were all helpless, and in the end, they just found an excuse to arrest someone and close the case.
But those cases that were closed, anyone with a bit of knowledge could tell that they were just fooling the public.
He did not pay attention to these before, and at most used it as a casual conversation topic. But now that he thought about it, something was not right.
There seemed to be too many cases that the police could not do anything about.
He casually browsed through the other posts and soon found a similar case of the Chamber Murder Case. It was also a headless case, and it had not been solved yet.
Closing the Tieba, Lin Sheng browsed through the news. Celine and Redwin were still bickering.
Both sides had been in a war of words as they stationed their troops at the border, as if a fight could break out at any time.
But in reality, this had been going on for more than a year. At first, everyone was nervous, but as time went on, they got used to it.
