Translator 549690339
âAfter Zhou Jiangping got the first clue, he immediately went to the living room to search for clues on the victim. â
âRe-establishing the entire timeline, Zhou Jiangping found that the victim, the hostageâs father, was holding something in his hand when he was shot. â
âFollowing the timeline of the reconstruction, Zhou Jiangping found a tablet in the corner. â
âBending down to pick it up, Zhou Jiangping found that it was a shopping websiteâs product details interface, and there was a line of notification ââYour AP700 Android order has been registered.ââ â
âââIn other words, this abnormal Bionic horse is going to be replaced by master?ââ Zhou Jiangping pondered. â
âThe estimated success rate interface once again appeared in his field of vision. After unlocking two more key pieces of information, the success rate had risen to 60%. â
âThe situation around them was still very tense. From time to time, the special police officers would be shot. In addition to the intense background music, although Zhou Jiangping knew that this was all virtual, he couldnât help but speed up his pace to search for more clues. â
He learned the name of the Android from his daughterâs bedroom.
They found a gun under the table next to the dead officerâs body.
âThere was a pool of blue blood on the ground. Before Zhou Jiangping could react, Connor had already touched it and put it into his mouth. â
Zhou Jiangping was speechless.
âWhy Blueberry? This must be Chen Zhaoâs bad taste, right? â
âThrough the blue blood, one could determine that the Android was injured and also determine its model. â
âAfter collecting all the clues in the room, the success rate was almost 90%. Zhou Jiangping began to walk outside, ready to talk to the abnormal Android holding the hostage. â
âAs a result, he was hit by a bullet as soon as he stepped out of the door. Fortunately, it hit his shoulder, so it was not fatal. â
âZhou Jiangping cursed in his heart. The shot had given him a fright. Fortunately, he didnât feel any pain because the androids didnât feel pain. He only felt his left arm being hit. â
âAn option appeared in his field of vision,[address the abnormal Android by her name]. â
âObviously, the next stage was the negotiation stage with the criminals. However, the players could not organize their own words during the negotiation. Not to mention the feasibility, many players who were not eloquent and did not react fast enough might not even know what they were going to say ... â
âAt this point, Zhou Jiangping roughly understood that one of the core principles of this game was reasoning and solving riddles. By gathering clues in the scene, they could infer the cause and effect of the event, and then negotiate with the criminalâs psychology. Different actions and conversations would lead to different endings. â
âAt this moment, a string of information appeared on the left side of Zhou Jiangpingâs vision. â
The final mission was to rescue the hostage at all costs.
âUnder this final mission, there were several steps, such as [find the hostage],[gain the trust of the abnormal Android], and [slowly approach]. Zhou Jiangping had only completed the first mission,[discovered hostage]. The other two missions were still in gray. â
âAs Connar continued to move forward, Zhou Jiangping was also constantly choosing options and talking to the abnormal Android. â
âMany topics and options in the conversation were not unlocked by default. Some of them required the relevant information to be retrieved in the room in advance, while others required the player to choose a specific topic in the conversation. â
âââTheyâre planning to replace you and youâre very unhappy, right?ââ Connor said as he walked forward. â
âThe abnormal Androidâs reaction was very intense.ââI thought I was a part of this family! I thought they cared about me ... But Iâm just a toy to them!ââ â
The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer. Zhou Jiangping could even see the abnormal Androidâs ferocious expression and the tears on the little girlâs face.
âFinally, the negotiations came to an end, and the abnormal Androidâs emotions had stabilized. He asked for a car, and he would release the little girl after leaving Detroit. â
âAt this moment, four options appeared in Zhou Jiangpingâs field of vision [Use guns],[sacrifice],[compromise],[reject]. â
âââHe should have used a gun. I donât want to waste my time talking to him!ââ Zhou Jiangping was a boss after all, so he chose the first option without hesitation. â
âHis right hand quietly moved behind him and held the pistol. At this time, two options appeared,[shoot at the head] and [intimidate]. â
âZhou Jiangping cursed in his heart,ââââOnly an idiot would choose the second option!ââ â
âââBang!ââ â
âA gunshot rang out, and a large amount of blue blood instantly burst out of the head of the abnormal Android. His eyes instantly lost focus, and he couldnât even make any counterattacks. He couldnât continue to hold on to the little girl, and just like that, he lost consciousness and fell down the stairs, face up. â
âThe little girl screamed, but Connor immediately stepped forward and grabbed the little girlâs arm to save her. â
âZhou Jiangping was shocked.ââ...Heâs a little handsome!ââ â
âThe moment he selected [shoot at the head], Zhou Jiangping felt his right hand swing out like lightning. He instantly stopped aiming at the criminalâs head and pulled the trigger. The entire process would probably not take more than 0.5 seconds. â
âZhou Jiangping could clearly feel the entire process, how the muscles in his shoulder exerted force, how he accurately aimed, and the reaction force when he pulled the trigger ... But the whole process was too short, less than 0.5 seconds, so this feeling lingered in his heart for a long time. â
âThis feeling was like someone who had scored an excellent shot when he was playing football. He could clearly remember the feeling of the kick, but it was impossible for him to do it again. â
âHowever, the feeling of this moment was wonderful enough. â
âZhou Jiangping was immersed in this wonderful feeling. In the illusionary world, he had become a sharpshooter with 100% accuracy. He could even feel how every muscle exerted force. This feeling could be described as a dream. â
âConnor automatically walked forward to the edge of the building and looked at the fallen Android. Then, he turned around and left. He unloaded the bullet and handed the gun to Captain Allen, who was standing next to him with a dumbfounded expression. â
Even Zhou Jiangping himself felt that he had scored full marks for this act!
âAfter leaving the rooftop, everything around them suddenly stopped. The SWAT team was still dealing with the mess, and the helicopters were still flying in the sky, but everything was no longer moving. It was as if time had stopped at this moment. â
âZhou Jiangping regained control of his body and asked in confusion,ââââWhatâs going on, President Chen? is there a bug in the game?ââ â
âââNo,ââ Chen Mo said,ââyour trial has ended.ââ â
âZhou Jiangping was speechless,âwhat do you mean by my trial content is over? I just got addicted to it!ââ â
âChen Mo laughed.ââI canât help it. Thereâs only so much to try out. If you want to try out the rest of the story, wait for the official version.ââ â
âZhou Jiangping cursed in his heart, but he could only obediently exit the game cabin. â
