Civilized City Jianghu Han

Sitting directly under the living room light, Gao Ming carefully examined two black and white photos, trying to find some clues from them.

"The term 'home' mentioned in the suicide photo should refer to the world where the mysterious father and mother are located."

"The first photo says that I have become a 'parent', holding the key to open a house. The key it describes should not refer to a certain item, but rather an ability, such as the game I played becoming a reality."

"My father and mother, both of them, entered reality through the game I created. Parents may not be their true selves, but rather some kind of image that they have transformed into reality."

Gao Ming wrote down the words "they" and "them" in his notebook, but he still couldn't determine what the other person was?

With a slight headache, Gao Ming pressed his hand against his brow and said, "All the abnormalities that have appeared on me are related to that tunnel! After dawn, I will go and investigate carefully, maybe I can find the answer."

Looking at the second black and white photo, just a few minutes later, Qi Yan in the photo had undergone changes, with cracks appearing on his body and his expression becoming even more frightened.

"Has Qi Yan's consciousness, or rather his soul, been dragged into the world where the mysterious mother resides?"

"In less than three minutes, he felt like he was about to be played to death. It seemed like that 'home' was very terrifying."

Putting away the two photos, Gao Ming quickly dialed the police number. He didn't want Qi to drown in his own house.

"Hello, I need to report to the police. That raincoat killer is in my house."

After a brief pause, the operator's voice became noticeably tense: "Are you being held hostage? Don't be nervous, and don't make any provocative moves. Is he by your side now? Let him speak out his demands, and we will prioritize your safety!"

Looking back at Qi Yan, who had a broken head and blood, drank medicine, and had his hands and feet bound, he pondered for a moment and said, "Anyway, come over quickly. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on if I come too late."

When waiting for the police to arrive, Gao Ming searched for news on his phone.

In theory, if all the passengers on a bus were missing, it would definitely be on the news, but he couldn't find any reports.

"A psychopathic killer is the scariest person until their identity is determined, because anyone around you could be a psychopathic killer. Once their identity is determined, they are just a mentally disabled beast." Gao Ming poured himself a cup of hot water and said, "My name is Gao Ming. I used to work as a psychological counselor in the Hate Mountain Prison."

"You are brave, but I don't recommend putting yourself in danger. Before dawn, don't open the door to strangers casually." Rain Night Killer was caught, but Li Lin's expression remained serious, which caught Gao Ming's attention.

"Is there any accomplice to the Rainy Night Killer? It shouldn't be. From the perspective of abnormal psychology, these abnormal killers tend to act alone."

"In the past three days, there have been multiple cases in the old city port area. What you see in TV reports is only what you can see." Li Lin didn't finish his sentence, but the actual situation was even more serious than he said. The old city area has been shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere for three consecutive days, with a series of homicides and bizarre and cruel murder scenes, which are simply not something that humans can do.

"These homicides all happened in the past three days?" Three days ago, it happened to be when Gao Ming took a bus into the tunnel and all the anomalies began.

"Stay at home at night and don't take any more risks. Protect yourself and your family." Li Lin was about to say something when footsteps suddenly rang out in the hallway. A man with a disfigured face and a black circular communicator on his left arm ran in.

Upon seeing the disfigured man, Li Lin furrowed his brows even deeper, but he did not intervene in any of the other's actions. Both sides seemed to belong to different departments.

The disfigured man didn't say hello to Li Lin and walked around the room towards the bedroom. However, just as he entered the bedroom, the black circular communicator on his arm malfunctioned and the current rustled.

After debugging the communicator without success, the disfigured man hurriedly left again.

"Isn't that guy from yours? How could he also be qualified to participate in the arrest operation?" Gao Ming always felt that the disfigured face was more like a criminal than a police officer.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Lin whispered back, "He's an investigator from the New Shanghai Stock Exchange, but I'm not sure exactly what he's investigating."

"Investigator?" Gao Ming works in the prison system, and this is the first time he has heard this term.
