I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 48 Strange Things Left by Parents

KMS Games' actions are utterly inhumane.

The employee number 15 was executed by lethal injection, and his body was dumped from the 99th floor. It was inhumane. People have human rights. Anyone who is executed must go through a strict trial process. To kill someone like that is to treat human life like dirt.

Bald Wang Hu and Chen Yifeng, who was wearing a baseball cap, remained unfazed. These two were law enforcement supervisors sent by the Black Sea City Police Department, and committing violence in front of them seemed to have been legalized.

Li Changgeng didn't understand what this employee number 15 meant by designing the skeleton grim reaper.

"Alright, let's start the meeting now." The female assistant clapped her hands, seemingly annoyed that her hands were a little dirty.

"As you can see, this is meant to serve as a warning to others. Don't even think about having any ulterior motives. Focusing on your work is the right thing to do."

The female assistant took out a document stamped with three red seals, unfolded it, and slowly said, "According to the KMS Games Company employment agreement and the detailed provisions of Article 897, Section 3 of the company's rules and regulations, the execution of Employee No. 15 by lethal injection and the disposal of the body was reasonable and justified!"

"The Black Sea City Police Department has approved and verified his death sentence. As everyone knows, many people in our company do not have names. This is a right we grant you to protect your privacy!"

Bald Wang Hu touched his shiny bald head and grinned, "That's right! Our police department never tolerates this kind of person. If there's one, we'll kill him; if there are two, we'll kill them both."

Chen Yifeng, standing beside him, straightened his baseball cap and nodded vigorously.

The female assistant turned to the last page of the document with the red seal, staring at Li Changgeng as if she were talking to him.

"Another department also approved the execution of Employee No. 15 at a higher level. This department is the [Mythology Management Bureau], a very mysterious department! One of the most important reasons for Employee No. 15's execution is that he was corrupted by the spirit of the evil god and had become the evil god's puppet. Therefore, you should not go out at night or contact strangers alone!"

Mythology Management Bureau?

Li Changgeng shook his head. This seemed unlikely. Could there really be such a magical department? Did that guy called the Saw Demon really exist? Did he even travel to the Mythical Descent game with him? Could it have already merged with reality?

After the document regarding the appropriate handling of employee number 15 was read out, Wang Hu, the bald man from the Police Security Department, and Chen Yifeng got up from their seats one after the other.

"Everyone, let's give a round of applause to send off the two from the Police Department!" The female assistant was the first to stand up, clapping her delicate white hands incessantly.

Lin Jiuge never looked up, staring intently at her phone, her expression tense and her brows furrowed from time to time.

Li Changgeng could only applaud, though he didn't know why or whether he should applaud.

"If anything unusual happens, remember to call me!"

Bald Wang Hu placed a black business card on the table in front of Li Changgeng. The card was pitch black with eye-catching gold lettering, resembling an epitaph on a tombstone. It read: Wang Hu, Investigator of the Unknown Creatures Club, Black Sea City Police Department!

"I will definitely remember!"

Wang Hu patted Li Changgeng on the shoulder again, and gave him a wink before leaving. Li Changgeng was puzzled. The Unknown Creatures Club sounded awkward and unprofessional, like a cooking department that studied how to eat deep-sea fish.

After the police officers left, the conference room returned to its previous tense atmosphere, at least not with the fear of a death stare.

"Watch out, you're being watched!"

Silly Butt wiggled his butt and whispered to Li Changgeng, "It was this bald guy last time. He said the same thing to Number 15. He was accompanied by a young girl. This time, they changed people. It must be because this bald guy bullied the girl that they changed people."

Li Changgeng ignored the idiot. He even suspected that Number 15 might not be dead; digital cyborgs weren't so easily killed. After the meeting, Li Changgeng planned to go home. On the ghost train, Li Ying told him that his parents' belongings were buried under the floor tiles. He also planned to visit Li Ying at Black Sea City Hospital. He also mentioned meeting Li Ying's attending physician, Lin Mo, on the ghost train and wanted to check on Lin Mo, who was the first person to die on the train.

Xia Mengmeng did not die on the ghost train, nor did she die in real life.

Lin Mo was killed by the Nine-Tailed Green Fox, and he might already be dead in real life. Li Changgeng wanted to know how much the events in the mythological game affected real life.

Lin Jiuge meticulously planned and deployed the entire game. Three days later, at 8 pm sharp, the game "Godhunter" was launched. This was KMS Games' flagship product, a virtual digital game in the metaverse that could bring an immersive and perfect experience.

The game requires wearing special gaming glasses and a semi-closed helmet.

This is done to bring a better gaming experience.

Gaming glasses and semi-closed gaming helmets are essential items for every household.

The meeting finally ended. Li Changgeng returned to his workstation and looked at the spot where employee number 15 had been. It was empty; the computer, chair, and everything else had disappeared.

"Who's next? If you don't court death, you won't die!" The buck-toothed girl had a toothpick in her mouth. Her face was covered in red and swollen wounds, and she didn't look well. She looked very tired, and one of her buck teeth was missing.

Li Changgeng observed that the right buck tooth he had touched the night before had changed from a double buck tooth to a single buck tooth.

"Where's your right buck tooth?" Li Changgeng felt that the whole thing was even stranger.

"I fell off my electric scooter last night. Then some thugs came crashing down on me and harassed me. I took on three of them and chased them all away!" The buck-toothed girl took out her phone and opened a video file.

The video is dimly lit, showing a buck-toothed girl battling three thugs. There are also continuous time jumps at the bottom of the video, making it look anything but fake.

Li Changgeng no longer cared about these things, whether they were true or false.

"Hey, hey! I'm talking to you! Don't you know how to be gentle with women?" the buck-toothed girl shouted at Li Changgeng's back.

Li Changgeng took the elevator downstairs. Downstairs, some people wearing white coats and police uniforms were circling around the body of employee number 15.

Employee number 15 was injected with a special drug that made his flesh and internal organs invisible, turning him into a skeleton. When Li Changgeng got closer to take a closer look, he realized that he did look somewhat like the skeleton Grim Reaper on the Ghost Train.

This time, Li Changgeng did not take the subway home. Why didn't he take the city light rail?
puff...

The tram doors slowly opened. Before boarding, Li Changgeng looked up at the misty sky, which looked like it was about to rain. It hadn't rained in Black Sea City for a long time.

The light rail tram was crowded, with both levels seemingly full.

Li Changgeng found an empty space on the first floor, bang...

The doors of the light rail tram slammed shut.

The lights inside the car crackled and popped, then all the lights shattered instantly, sending fragments flying everywhere.

"Ah, ah! Monster, monster eats people!" The big-eyed loli with twin ponytails screamed, covering her ears.
