Chapter 484: The Head
The footsteps came from far away, first wandering around the neighbor's house, and then slowly approaching the wall.

When Gao Ming was lying on the wall listening, it seemed as if there was a face sticking to the wall from the neighbor's house. Ten seconds later, footsteps sounded again, as if someone hurriedly ran to the corridor and stopped at the door of Liu Yi's house.

There was no knock on the door in the darkness. Gao Ming listened attentively. The footsteps became weaker and weaker. When they sounded for the last time, it seemed that the footsteps had entered Liu Yi's house.

"Meow!" Fa Cai fell off the bed like a fur ball. Liu Yi woke up from her sleep and turned on the night light beside the bed: "Gao Ming, are you having a nightmare again?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Gao Ming looked at the empty space in the living room, and Fa Cai was also staring at the same place.

"Go to bed quickly. You have to go to work tomorrow." After Gao Ming coaxed Liu Yi to sleep, he searched again but could not find anything related to the live broadcast.

"Is it because I watched that live broadcast that I was targeted by something? Before the host disappeared, he said that if he didn't survive until dawn, someone else would have to go into the darkness again? Is this a scapegoat? Or is it some kind of boring prank?"

Gao Ming did not fall asleep until dawn. He got up early and prepared breakfast for Liu Yi and Fa Cai.

After Liu Yi went to work, Gao Ming took out the ring communicator given to him by Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, but the other party did not assign him any tasks.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Ming took the initiative to contact Tang Qing.

After the video was connected, Gao Ming saw a face full of resentment and anger.

"Dude, it's not working hours now." Sitting in the employee shuttle bus of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, Tang Qing said listlessly: "I worked overtime until very late yesterday to write the report for you testers. If you have anything to say, please talk to me in three days."

"Three days of rest is too long for me. I need to enter other middle-level nightmares as soon as possible, or you can just arrange a deep nightmare for me." After Gao Ming and Liu Yi lived together, their daily life was plain and beautiful. He liked this kind of life very much, but the problem was that he was clearly aware that his memory of that nightmare was fading. If he completely immersed himself in reality, everything that happened in the nightmare might never be found again, and he would never be able to figure out what happened to him.

"Are you really short of money? There was a drug-dependent tester before who was not as enthusiastic as you. Let's calm down first and wait until our bodies recover before conducting the next test." Tang Qing was a little helpless: "I will arrange it for you as soon as possible, don't worry."

The video call was hung up, and Gao Ming frowned slightly. After all, Tang Qing was just working for Yongsheng Pharmaceutical. If he wanted to enter the Level 5 confidentiality laboratory, he must obtain higher authority: "That Director Li doesn't look simple..."

While Gao Ming was still thinking about how to contact Director Li, his cell phone suddenly vibrated again. A blood-red unknown number called in. This number was marked as a dangerous number by 527 people.

"I've only heard of numbers being marked as fraudulent, but how can it be marked as dangerous?" Gao Ming hesitated for a moment and answered the call: "Hello?"

The crackling sound of the electric current was a bit harsh. It seemed that the person who called Gao Ming was not in the country. The signal was particularly poor and the interference was very strong.

Gao Ming couldn't hear clearly what the other party was saying and was about to hang up the phone when the other party gave him an address, apparently asking him to go there.

"The Ninth Sensory Experience Hall in Xinhu?" This store is located in the Xinhu Smart City and is one of the branches opened by Hanjiang New Century Park in Xinhu. It is said to use the latest simulation technology and can bring players unprecedented novel experiences. "The interviewer of the park ghost, Lao Zhou, said that their boss would contact me. Was it their boss who called me just now? The signal is so bad, where did their boss call from?"

"I feel like the place he recommended isn't a good one." Gao Ming looked back at the living room where the footsteps disappeared last night, and thought about what happened to him in the brain game. "But I somehow feel like that place would be a good fit for me."

Worried that Fa Cai would be afraid to be alone at home, Gao Ming put him in a cat bag and took him to the smart city on an intercity train.

The difference between the new Shanghai smart city and the old city is greater than that between humans and ghosts. They are simply two different worlds. Few pedestrians on the road use mobile phones. Basically everyone has an implanted chip that can communicate directly with the city's intelligent brain.

The intelligent brain of the smart city is also a legend, but its birth is shrouded in mystery, and there is no definite answer as to who made it.

The most common information about intelligent brains on the Internet is that their self-update speed is extremely fast, so fast that even city managers are afraid, so they imposed restrictions on them more than a decade ago and stripped of most of their permissions. Now the intelligent brains in smart city areas are actually incomplete and defective products.

At half past ten in the morning, Gao Ming found the experience center, which was built in the most prosperous core area of ​​the smart city, hidden among layers of high-rise buildings.

There are tall buildings everywhere, and the streets are bustling with traffic and neon lights. It is the most lively place in Xinhu. But as Gao Ming continued to move forward following the navigation, he slowly felt something was wrong.

Where there is light, there is darkness. Among all the buildings, there is one that is built downwind and downstream. Not only is its location awkward, but there are also several dark areas inside the building that are difficult to be illuminated by sunlight.

There are people everywhere, but only these floors look gloomy and eerie. Occasionally, people passing by will quicken their pace.

"It's not easy to find such a weird place in a downtown area." Gao Ming followed the navigation instructions and took the elevator to the seventh floor of the building. Then he turned into the stairs and walked down two floors before he finally saw the sign of the Ninth Sensory Experience Hall.

Others do business for fear that people won't see them, but this experience center seems to be afraid of being found. It is built in the darkest place in the building, and all the windows are covered with thick black cloth. Gao Ming wanted to lift the black cloth to determine his position out of caution, but when he pulled open the black cloth, he found that the scenery outside was not what he had imagined, but a thick concrete wall, which was very depressing.

"Hey, are you here for the experience?" A cold female voice sounded behind him. Gao Ming turned around and saw a very "special" woman.

The woman was very beautiful, with long legs, white arms, and a slender waist. Any part of her was very beautiful when taken alone, but when they were combined together, it gave people an extremely inharmonious feeling.

In addition, Gao Ming also discovered that when the woman spoke, her mouth did not move, and the sound seemed to come from her stomach. What was even more strange was that there was a circle of needle and thread marks on the woman's neck. This avant-garde decorative style was creepy.

"I have interviewed for Hanjiang New Century Park before. I received a strange call this morning and the other party asked me to come here." Gao Ming showed the young lady the dangerous number that had been marked by many people.
