The edges of the fissure in the ground, split by Bai Liu's whip, twist and stretch out in tentacle-like veins to connect and pull on each other, the fleshy earth is slowly pulled together and the fissure closes.

The land let out a contented and hoarse gasp.

Bai Liu glanced at his system panel and noticed that after he had whipped this land-like developer, he was losing blood at a faster rate himself instead.

Tang Erda noticed this too, and he wrinkled his nose: "What's going on?"

Bai Liu calmly explains, "The damage is transferred, I attack the monster developer once, and it can quickly heal itself by drawing blood from me and the other tenants on E land after it bleeds out."

"Attacking it is the same as attacking you." Tang Erda looked intently at Bai Liu, whose lips had no hint of blood, "Then won't it suck your blood endlessly at this rate? Why don't we transfer the houses in E to me first."

Bai Liu shook his head, his tone even: "What difference does it make if you don't suck my blood and suck yours?"

Tang Erda is silent for a moment.

Bai Liu continued, "If taking ownership of a property attracts big developers from the regions, and the game requires us to own five buildings, then one of the five of us has to hold the building, and be sucked to death by the big developers."

"This is a game, and if this form of monster exists in the game, then the monster must have a weakness, and we need to find that weakness." Bai Liu looked at Tang Erda with light eyes, "Since attacks are useless against the land this monster is attached to, we need to find a way to sever its connection to the land, to force it out of it."

"A connection between the land and this monster? " Tang Erda asked rhetorically, "What do you think it could be?"

Bai Liu's mouth slowly curved into a smile: "I really don't know anything about the game at the moment, but thanks to Team Tang, you reminded me that this is most likely a game that will be logged into reality, so the game's basic setting must be in line with the rules of reality."

"For example, how can the land and the dead be connected-" Bai Liu lifted his eyes and smiled, "it is only natural that the dead person still owns the land after his death, and that is why he is attached to it. "

"In reality, what would make a person own a piece of land?" Bai Liu asks in a light-hearted manner.

Tang Erda snapped, "A land use right certificate?!"

Reality, Sunshine Properties.

Su Yang scanned through the information on this developer surnamed Li and looked up at Team Xiang: "Apart from this developer surnamed Li who is in jail, what about the other four developers?"

"It was ages ago last year, they all ran away just as soon as the one surnamed Li was interrogated, and we only found out about them again in July this year." The team member sighed and handed over a report, "But all four of them are also dead, killed in a traffic accident."

"And they're all dead?" Su Yang's voice sank as he took the report with a heavy expression and raised his eyebrows, "Last June, they took their parents' wives and mistresses on a low-key trip to the border in the name of a company reunion outing, but encountered a very bizarre high-speed truck rear-ending succession, the out-of-control overweight truck kept ramming forward and the four buses together tipped over the guardrail and none of the people on board survived."

The team nodded: "Because of the fake ID to create a false identity, but also changed the appearance, the explosion of the bus in the body of all the people have different degrees of burns, and related people and all died together in the bus, so the four developers body has never come to claim, until May this year, only to dig up their whereabouts, determined that they were on that bus. "

Su Yang looked up, her eyes straight at the team, "This major traffic accident last June, if I remember correctly, there seems to be a survivor who was eighteen years old and had just finished her high school exams."

"Yes." The team member gave Su Yang a surprised look, " Team Su, how did you know? The survivor's name is Du Ying."

Su Yang closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, her chest heaving violently twice.

He knew, of course, that Tang Erda had asked him to look into the accident just two months ago, specifically instructing him to look up a child called Du Ying.

I never thought I'd run into it again here, and it led to the death of these four developers ......

All the serendipities are strung together in such a way as to weave an invisible web that leads them into a certain path.

It is as if there is a god who diffidently fiddles with some node in the world, dropping a card or a pawn to his liking and arrangement, and these flimsy toys can smash the ground into a roaring dent, leaving ordinary people standing on the ground in pieces and howling in blood.

This jokey, uncontrollable thing that befalls a person is called fate.

What is it called when it comes upon a group of people?

One can rationalise all this when one is miserable by saying that fate may be what it is, that I may just be unlucky, unlucky, unlucky, and then gaze around at the happy people and endure to live for this probability of happiness.

What about the group of people?

But what does one think when everyone around you is suffering so much by the same accident? Is one person's pain diluted by group understanding, or is the group's pain concentrated on each person instead because of mutual understanding and empathy?

Can people ...... continue to endure and live under these circumstances?

Su Yang was in a trance for a moment, and he found himself unable to give an answer.

A member of the team rushed into the room, threw open the door with a bang and hissed sternly with a broken expression, "Team Su! There are seven newly recovered patients at City Six Hospital who have grabbed the nurse's blade and committed suicide!"

City Six Hospital, inpatient rooftop.

Seven men in hospital gowns with bloodied wrists turned their backs to the rooftop with pale, numb faces as a group of panicked paramedics, security guards, members of the Bureau of Heresy and police officers stood before them.

The health care workers anxiously exchanged.

"Suddenly snatching the blade I was using to remove the stitches! Gave me a big scare!"

"Luckily the bedside doctor reacted quickly and snatched the blade back, none of the cuts were deep."

"Now running to the rooftops ......"

One of the police officers lowered his hands, bowed his body and slowly stepped forward, "Guys, you can talk to us about anything, don't take it lightly."

An aunt in a hospital gown, thin, with dry lips and curly yellow hair, looked at the policeman expressionlessly and before she could say anything, tears slowly dripped down her face.

"It's useless, what can be the use of discussing it."

Her eyes stared out into the air somewhere, her eyes lax, and with a sudden laugh she raised her hand to wipe the tears from her own face.

"I don't blame you guys either, I know you did your best, you were getting us relocation certificates today and then suddenly this weird thing happened and we had to be relocated back ......"

"Let's just say we're doomed and can't escape this blood-sucking mess."

With that, the aunt slowly began to move with her back turned towards the rooftop behind her, her head inclined to look away, her eyes drifting to herself as she muttered.

"...... Little Yuan has carried us for three years, and with Little Yuan on the field today, the kid can't hold out either ......"

"It would be too selfish of us to go on living, to continue to pin all hope of living on him with our deaths."

"That's it, let's live that much, I'll admit it."

She closed her eyes, smiled twice, opened her arms and collapsed backwards.

"Don't die! Work hard and stay alive today too!"

A male voice came from the ground.

This aunt, who was just about to fall down, jerked her eyes open and twisted her head around to look at the ground:" Little Yuan ?!"

Other patients with blood dripping from their hands also eagerly poked their heads over the fence and looked down: "I heard Little Yuan too!"

"But isn't Little Yuan in a race?"

"Is it a win after the match!"

The same voice again from downstairs, "Don't die! Work hard and stay alive today too!"

The second time the voice rang out, the people upstairs finally realised something was wrong - it had an electronic feel to it, like a recording.

Su Yang stood downstairs, he held up his horn to dislike a SpongeBob SquarePants-shaped alarm clock and pressed play again, "Don't die! Work hard and live today too!"

Su Yang then moved the speaker to her mouth and calmly stated, "People upstairs, what you have just heard is the sound of Yuan Guang's alarm clock, who I know is very close to you and has been stepping in to argue with the developer's representative on your behalf."

" Yuan Guang plays this alarm clock sound to himself every morning in the hope that he lives well to get you more benefits, and I'm sure he wants you to live well enough to enjoy what he has gotten you."

Su Yang tilted her head and looked at those shifting on the edge of the rooftop: "Please trust us, we will do our best to take care of whatever it is that is bothering you."

His gaze was firm and clear: "No matter who brought this bad luck to you, we will fight for our lives to solve it for you!"

The aunt clutched the rooftop fence with a death grip, her eyes red, before slowly releasing her own grip on the fence and taking a step back.

The officers at the back of the room sprang to their feet and ripped her and the other six off.

Su Yang breathes a long sigh of relief.

The team member next to him had a complicated look in his eyes, "Captain, how did you know that this alarm clock had this alarm?"

Su Yang finally brought a smile to his face as he smacked the team member on the head with his horn: "I found it when I was testing the object, this alarm clock screams when I press it, it screams extra loud and mid-air, I remembered it."

Is it the fate of the group ...... Su Yang pondered as he walked back.

If this group can meet someone whose destiny is enough to change, perhaps this life path, which is like being maliciously arranged by the gods, can be changed. ......

Su Yang was stunned, and he couldn't help but think of Bai Liu at the Rose Factory.

The guy also changed the fate of everyone, including him, by himself.

The team member next to Su Yang followed Su Yang forward while looking down to quickly check the news report, " Team Su, you just asked us to search the four cars that were involved in the accident for certificates of land ownership and so on, but we found nothing for now."

Su Yang nodded: "Did anything come out of the search at the site of the accident?"

"That's what I want to talk to you about." The team member looked up, "The area where the accident occurred originally turned up several bags of documents that contained almost all of the real estate information for the four developers, except for the four illegal secondary contracting contracts for the Sunshine property."

Su Yang's footsteps were halting as he slowly turned his head: "The developer named Li, where is the body buried?"

"That developer surnamed Li's body was picked up by his son after cremation, his son hasn't reported the burial place yet, saying he put the person at home without a burial." The team member quickly searched for a few moments, then gave a beat, "But our people found that after the developer surnamed Li died in August, his son often went in and out of a certain cemetery."

Su Yang quickly gave the order, "Have the men surround that cemetery and don't allow anyone in or out!"

In-game, Area E.

Bai Liu and Tang Erda quickly returned to the spot where Liu Jiayi and the others had stayed, Mu Sicheng Muke and the others were half crouched on the ground.

On the ground lay a dying, almost out-of-breath but not near-breath NPC, his skin dried throughout against his cheekbones and forehead, thin and out of shape, more like a mantis than a person.

Tang Erda looks away, unable to look away.

"Is it still alive?" Bai Liu asked faintly, "Can you tell from this NPC what the rate of blood loss is?"

Liu Jiayi shook his head, "It's almost dead but it's alive now, the rate of blood loss is not clear to calculate, but if you calculate the rate of death, the creature should be able to suck someone dry in almost an hour."

Muke frowns: "This is losing blood too fast."

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu: "Did you solve the monster?"

"No, that monster is tricky." Tang Erda tensed her jaw, "We'll have to stay here for now to look for weaknesses, Bai Liu means you guys take this NPC and go to the other zones first."

Muke and Mu Sicheng were both startled.

Especially Mu Sicheng, who jumped up and down: "Shit, Bai Liu! You're carrying a blood loss buff that can suck people to death in an hour, and then you want us to split up? Don't you know that splitting up in a horror story is a death sentence?"

Muke also frowned rather disapprovingly, " Bai Liu, at least let Liu Jiayi stay."

Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu and was just about to speak.

Bai Liu's eyes glanced shallowly around the room and he did not speak.

Everyone went quiet.

Bai Liu spoke up at this time, he ordered calmly and methodically, "This is not a game pool where me and you guys play around against each other, this is not some horror movie, this is a competitive type of horror game match and I am your tactician."

"Now I need you to split up, and you will have to split up."

Liu Jiayi, Muke and Mu Sicheng all bowed their heads and whispered, "Yes."

" Mu Sicheng to Area A, Liu Jiayi to Area B, Muke to Area D. A new property has appeared in Area C. It should be a new branch line and should be more informative, Team Tang and I will go there after we finish with Area E. You should not pass by and explore for now."

"Go to each area first go and sweep the cemetery building, after you have cleared it don't take the cemetery house title, keep sweeping until you have angered the developer, that cemetery house is the developer's cemetery, go inside and look for the land ownership certificate, when you have found it meet me in Area C."

Bai Liu looked to everyone: "Now move."
