1080 Monitored
"Well, the master's words..."
After Lin Chi asked the question, the Terminator thought for a moment, but still shook his head: "I really don't know this, I've been playing by myself."
"Oh, that's fine." Lin Chi said.
He didn't expect to ask any information from the Terminator, and he would get such an answer as expected. After the game that unexpectedly ended, it was almost time to leave. Before that...
"You lost." Lin Chi compared the finisher downward with a thumbs-up.
"I'm sorry, I was too involved just now." The Terminator apologized listlessly.
"It's a good thing to focus on playing games." Lin Chi smiled: "But you'd better change the exoskeleton back to normal power, otherwise an accident may occur."
"I understand, I'll change it when I go back." The Terminator kept nodding.
"See you next time." Lin Chi waved to the two people on the stage, turned around and walked to the outside of the game hall, and the drone that had been floating in the air was closely following him.
The "fight of revenge" that the girl said ended with Lin Chi's victory. Lin Chi, who had just been punched a few times and was still suffering from a vague pain, planned to go home and rest for a while.
"Hey, it's time for you to come in." When leaving the entrance of the game hall, Lin Chi took down the schoolbag behind him and looked up at the drone.
In many places in the city, using drones without authorization is a violation. Moreover, the drone possessed by Frankenstein is almost out of power now. No matter how you look at it, it is better to put it away as soon as possible.
“…”
Frankenstein did not answer immediately, but flew to the window and pointed the lens at the shopping mall below through the spotless glass.
"Human construction projects are very good," said Frankenstein.
"It's a pity that the shopping mall is useless now." Lin Chi said with a smile.
Nowadays, online shopping and express delivery businesses have reached an incredible level. Most shopping can be done at home. Not only is it fast, but it is also cheap and cheap. Except for some stubborn guys or people with special needs, not many people will go out to purchase.
There are still room for living in small shops downstairs in the community. The one who is most injured by online shopping is a large shopping mall similar to the Emperor Shopping Plaza. As for the tragic situation of Emperor Shopping Plaza, just look at the degree of desertification below.
"The number of people actually exceeds ten, it's not easy." Looking at the sparse pedestrians in the square, Lin Chi couldn't help laughing out loud.
The drone's camera swept through the pedestrians in the square through the glass, and Frankenstein immediately reported the exact number: "There are only nine people, three of them, and five of them."
"There are eight men and women in total, and who is the other one?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.
"The gender is unknown." Frankenstein pointed the camera at a figure next to the fountain: "It is impossible to judge from the appearance."
"Ha, should you improve your judgment method of 'judging people by appearance'?" Lin Chi leaned against the window and put his arms on the metal railing: "What if you encounter a fake girl?"
"You can judge by your body shape and certain characteristics unless he performs special disguise." Even when facing this problem, Frankenstein is still meticulous, and has the style of a "scientific worker".
Seeing that Frankenstein was very serious, Lin Chi became interested in Frankenstein's recognition method and asked with interest: "Can you take pictures of their faces?"
"The lens of this drone can be shot at high power." Frankenstein replied, the lens of the drone extended outwards and began to observe passers-by below.
Two seconds later, Frankenstein said something beyond Lin Chi's expectations:
"I saw Zhou Tianhao."
"ah?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chi, who was still staring at the drone, immediately looked down at the square: "Which is him?"
"The man moving towards the building opposite, a brown long-sleeved top and a hat." Frankenstein immediately said: "That's your friend."
"Yeah?"
Lin Chi looked at the description of Frankenstein and saw a man walking towards another building opposite. Because of the distance, and the other party was facing his back, Lin Chi couldn't see the guy's appearance clearly.
However, the other person's pace and posture when walking seemed to be somewhat similar to his old classmate.
"Are you sure you admit it?" Lin Chi stared at the man's back.
"The last time I contacted him, I recorded his appearance, and his pupils and bone structure would not go wrong." Frankenstein's tone was very certain, as firm as usual: "That person is Zhou Tianhao."
——So, Zhou Tianhao, who is working overtime, should be doing what he is doing in the shopping mall now?
Seeing that Zhou Tianhao was about to enter the building opposite, Lin Chi suddenly realized something and asked Frankenstein: "If I call him now, can I locate his position?"
"Yes, but it can only last for five minutes." Frankenstein replied.
"Okay, let's go there." Lin Chi said as he opened his backpack, stuffed the landed drone in, and zipped it up neatly.
"Do you want to follow him?" Frankenstein's voice rang out from his headphones.
"I want to see who he is going to meet." Lin Chi rubbed his hands obscenely: "I didn't expect to encounter such a thing again. This time I'm really right..."
Whether Zhou Tianhao is here to investigate Pulse Entertainment Company or contact the legendary "Blood Blade", he can provide clues for Lin Chi. What Lin Chi needs to do now is to investigate Zhou Tianhao's actions without the other party noticing it!
After putting away the drone, Frankenstein's "consciousness" returned to Lin Chi's mobile phone again. Lin Chi quickly went downstairs and returned to the square and entered the building where Zhou Tianhao was. What caught his eye was a row of big signs for luxury jewelry stores.
These stores are generally the type of "not open for half a year, but eat for half a year". You can earn a lot of money by selling a few items. Now, many of the remaining physical stores in shopping malls are such luxury goods stores.
Noticed Lin Chi's appearance, the welcome robots in front of the shop began to greet him "entirely". Lin Chi ignored these guys and just said to Frankenstein: "Prepare to track it."
After receiving a positive answer, Lin Chi stood in front of the elevator door, dialed Zhou Tianhao's number, waited for about a minute, and finally heard the familiar voice:
"Hello?"
"It's me." Lin Chi's voice was as listless as he was when he was at home.
"Oh, it's you. I'm a little confused when working overtime." Zhou Tianhao was a little angry and asked, "Is there anything I need to ask me?"
"Your sister asked me to advise you to go home as soon as possible." Lin Chi asked with concern: "Where are you? Are you healthy?"
"I'm still in the office now." Zhou Tianhao said slowly, as if he was absent-minded: "Have her phone calls reached you? I'll tell her later, so don't worry about me."
——This guy is lying.
Realizing that Zhou Tianhao was fooling people, Lin Chi did not expose the other party's lies, but asked again: "You are really fine? It's not great to listen to your voice."
"It's really okay. Thank you for your care, buddy." Zhou Tianhao said perfunctorily: "I want to go and make some convenience. Let's have a hang up first, and then chat after I finish my work."
After speaking, before Lin Chi continued to speak, Zhou Tianhao's side had already hung up.
Even though the call had ended, Lin Chi did not put down the phone, but instead answered the Frankenstein hidden in his phone: "Have you found his place?"
"Upstairs, I'll send his location to the built-in map of my phone," Frankenstein replied.
On Lin Chi's mobile phone screen, a three-dimensional map of the building appeared. A red dot appeared on the third floor and was walking towards the southeast corner. It was obviously Zhou Tianhao.
"It can only be tracked for five minutes at most," Frankenstein said.
"Five minutes are enough." Lin Chi smiled confidently.
Arriving on the third floor with the escalator, Lin Chi stepped onto the smooth floor, passed by two cylindrical cleaning robots, staring at the red dot on the mobile phone map, and saw that the red dot had already stopped in the southeast corner, and I don’t know what to do there.
"This kid is going to be exposed." Lin Chi blinked and walked along the wide corridor to the southeast corner of the third floor.
"You are very much like a human criminal now." Frankenstein said in a cold voice.
"In order to achieve your goals, sometimes you have to use some special means, you know." Lin Chi said seriously, looking at the nearby store.
Compared to the large amount of luxury goods on the first floor, the three floors exudes a little literary atmosphere. The most common things sold here are calligraphy, paintings, porcelain and other artworks, and some of them are marked "not sold", which seem to be simply displayed.
On a Chinese painting on Lin Chi's left hand, a bold brushstroke was used to draw a pine on the edge of the cliff. Even if I don't know much about this, Lin Chi can see that this painting is definitely from the master's work, and even laymen can feel a little shock.
The artistic conception of Chinese painting is hard to describe in words. Although I want to appreciate it again, reason tells Lin Chi that it is not the time to understand art.
He passed by a shop full of Chinese paintings and continued to walk towards the location where Zhou Tianhao was. He soon arrived at the southeast corner of the third floor. What caught his eye was the sign of "Quiet Bookstore".
The decoration of the bookstore was very simple, with wooden lounge chairs displayed inside. A large number of books were neatly placed on the black wooden bookshelf that looked very old.
Lin Chi looked at the wooden counter next to the entrance of the bookstore and saw a welcome robot standing behind him waving his hand, wearing a dark blue jacket, which looked a bit funny.
"This store is quite interesting..." Lin Chi whispered.
In order to avoid being discovered by Zhou Tianhao, Lin Chi did not choose to enter the bookstore, but stood in the aisle next to the bookstore, trying to "eavesdrop" the sound inside.
Zhou Tianhao should have been standing behind the bookshelf, and he couldn't be seen from here. Fortunately, the sparsely populated shopping mall is also very quiet, and you can hear the conversation inside:
"Is the locator on your body broken?" Zhou Tianhao's voice sounded a little stern: "Did you break it on purpose?"
Then a soft female voice sounded, as if a gentle breeze: "No, it broke itself."
"I brought new ones, remember to report the itinerary regularly." Zhou Tianhao said coldly: "Your actions will be recorded in the archives. Not only us, but the security department is also staring at you, which is also for the stability of society."
"I know." The woman smiled: "Your job is not easy, I can understand. Please rest assured, I will not forget it."
The extremely gentle voice even made Lin Chi feel a subtle numbness. Just listening to the sound seemed to have nothing to do with "danger".
However, from the conversation between Zhou Tianhao and the woman, Lin Chi had already determined who the other party was, and an excitement flashed in his eyes:
——The most brutal "killer" in the history of intrabrain imaging games is likely to be in this bookstore!
"Report to us when you find out the situation, and don't forget what I said before." Zhou Tianhao said again, and his footsteps began to move towards the door of the bookstore.
Lin Chi decisively hid in the bathroom not far away, avoiding Zhou Tianhao's mobile route, and the red dots displayed on his mobile phone suddenly disappeared.
"The tracking ended." Frankenstein said.
Lin Chi poked half of his head out of the bathroom door, watching Zhou Tianhao's back, which was much more vicissitudes than usual, disappearing on the escalator.
After waiting for a while, he confirmed that Zhou Tianhao had left. Lin Chi stood in front of the mirror of the sink, reached out to sort out his hairstyle, and smiled and said, "Do you want to meet the legendary figures in the player circle?"
"That fierce woman." Frankenstein immediately reacted.
"That's right." Lin Chi nodded.
Judging from the conversation just now, the Blood Blade should be in a state of being monitored and needs to report its movements regularly. It even has to carry a locator on its body.
It seems that the woman's mentality may be really wrong, so she is under surveillance. Of course, her surveillance may also be due to other reasons. However, there is no need to continue guessing now...
——As long as you meet her, you should be able to find out the truth.
"Based on the analysis, I do not recommend meeting her." Frankenstein reminded: "I analyzed her performance in the game. This person may have a strong sadistic tendency or a tendency to split personality. Contacting her will cause unnecessary trouble."
"Did you forget that I was wearing an exoskeleton?" Lin Chi moved his right arm, and the metal joint made a crackling sound.
"Anyway, I don't recommend you contact her. She is being monitored, and when you contact her, you may be recorded and become the target of suspicion of the Administration and other institutions." Frankenstein said coldly.
"It's okay, I'm just going to buy books." Lin Chi said with a smile.
After making the decision, Lin Chi's actions were also particularly decisive, storing the backpack with the drone in a nearby storage locker, and then quickly walked towards the entrance of the "Quiet Bookstore".
It's time to meet my "old friend" in "War Paradise".
