nightmare exec

Before answering Song Yin's doubts, Alexander raised a new question.

"You should know that the safe house has another name called the memory palace. Have you ever wondered why such an ordinary house is called a palace?"

"have not thought."

Song Yin shook his head honestly: "Maybe it's because my house is relatively dilapidated, so it's a special case? Other people's safe houses may all be magnificent... But I don't have much experience, I have only been to Shaffley's manor."

"Of course not. With the exception of Shaffley, most executives' safe houses are ordinary."

Alexander denied his answer, and then asked the second question: "In your safe house, can every door be opened? Is there anything different from what you remember?"

"...It really does exist!"

Song Yin's eyes suddenly lit up: "My parents' bedroom can't be opened for some reason, and even the windows are covered by newspapers. And my own room, the size and furnishings have all changed, completely different from when I was a child. no the same."

"That's right. The real memory palace is not reality but higher than reality. It is far more than what we can see now. It also contains the trauma that we don't want to remember in this life, and we can't completely forget it, even the past Precious memories of many lives. They are all locked behind doors. And those are the fifth and sixth floors below the fourth."

"Trauma and memories of previous lives?" Song Yin was thoughtful, "How can we open those doors?"

"It varies from person to person. In fact, I just heard about it. I have never witnessed the existence below the fourth floor."

Having said that, Alexander shook his head, and pointed to the copy projected on the wall: "It's a bit far away, let's continue to focus on the business."

After jumping off the building for rescue, Chen Mei, who had been in a coma for a whole week, miraculously woke up and began to recover slowly.

But even during her hospitalization, the harassment against her has barely stopped.

One night about three weeks later, Chen Mei suddenly left the hospital alone, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then.

Almost from the time when Chen Mei disappeared, an urban legend began to spread among the students in City S - as long as you carry celebrity photos or idol magazines with you, you can walk alone in a secluded place at 10:[-] in the middle of the night. In the alley, you may meet a woman in a red dress.

No one could describe the exact appearance of the woman in red, but everyone said in unison that this woman always repeated the same question——

"Which star do you want to curse?"

Faced with this question, no one answered it at first.And as long as you quicken your pace and walk to the nearest light, the woman will not continue to follow.

But the situation quickly changed - the first person spoke out the name of an idol singer with malicious intent.The next day, the singer stepped on the air at the announcement recording site and fell off the stage.It's not a serious problem, but it needs to rest for a while.

It was from here that the news spread like wildfire.Despite no evidence, more and more young people are taking to the streets late at night.

"Is this thing really useful?" Song Yin expressed doubts about it, "If it is really useful, most of the stars in the entertainment circle should suffer, right?"

"So a patch was released for this legend." Alexander himself highlighted a passage in the investigation document: "The woman in red can only curse at most one person per month, and the effect of the curse will be based on the number of people who participated in the curse." change."

"Are you trying to laugh me to death? What kind of April Fool's plan is this?!" Song Yin almost laughed from the sofa to the ground, "The top 10 stars you want to curse the most? If you hate him, send him to hell? 6, right?"

"Don't tell me, it really worked." Alexander dragged the document to the next part: "Three weeks later, another female artist who was rumored to have an affair with a popular idol artist had an accident and drowned in the bathtub of her home , and is still unconscious due to lack of oxygen.”

"Ah, I've heard of this! There is such a secret behind it?!" Song Yin slapped his hands in shock: "This is too much, is it considered murder?"

"From our point of view, of course it counts. But in the real world, cursing and killing people is not taken seriously at all." Alexander shrugged, "Didn't you never hear of such a thing before? It can be seen that there is no such thing at all." How many normal people believe this."

"That's true." Song Yin curled her lips: "This has killed people, and those who cursed at the lady in red should stop, right?"

"I think so too."

Alexander dragged down the document a few more paragraphs, and the following content made them frown at the same time.

Contrary to Song Yin's prediction, after the female artist's drowning incident, more and more fans worried that their idol would become the next victim of the curse.They gathered on their own initiative, wandering the alleys late at night, looking for the woman in red, and concentrating on voting for other idols.

In the later stage, many people even took the initiative to sacrifice their nails, hair, and even flesh and blood in exchange for more powerful curse power.

The matter developed to the third month, and it also ushered in the most astonishing climax-a tragic air crash in which a foreign small passenger plane caused more than 40 injuries and nearly ten deaths due to mechanical failure.Among them was a popular domestic artist who went abroad to work, but unfortunately died despite all-out rescue efforts.

In the early morning of the day when the bad news came, the fans of the idol organized the curse game of the "woman in red" into a long text and posted it on the social network. Coupled with the testimony of the two star fans who had been victimized before, it immediately triggered a huge controversy. social attention.

"But the legend is a legend after all, even if it becomes a big mess, it won't stand. It will also deepen the misunderstanding and discrimination of outsiders towards the fan circle. It will even make more good people join this vicious carnival."

As Song Yin speculated, the online exposure of the woman in red had no practical effect.On the contrary, these four words have become hot words on the Internet for a while.Many self-media following suit have published serious "analysis" and "secret" articles.

What's more, someone pretended to be a woman in red and shot a short video harassing passers-by.

And when all these dances of demons reached their peak, the quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change—the police in City S issued a "Rumor Refutation Announcement", social media blocked the keywords of the woman in red, and blocked several most active, But an irrelevant self-media account.

So after earning enough traffic dividends, this topic was quickly forgotten by the public without any substantive resolution.

"Is there something else hidden about this matter?"

Song Yin wrinkled her nose, like a pig that found a truffle: "If the woman in red is Chen Mei who was possessed by a stowaway, why didn't Purgatory send a dream executive to contain her as early as the infection stage? Wouldn't it be much easier if the danger had been killed in the cradle at the beginning."

Of course, Alexander couldn't answer this question. He shook his head and turned his attention to the assistant officer Ergou who was standing aside.

"I don't know much about the specific situation." The assistant officer said honestly: "However, I have heard other assistant officers mention that due to the large number of smugglers, sometimes a few fish slip through the net. In this case, the system will Arrange for the execution department in the human world to carry out a second recovery-the arrest operation is currently being carried out secretly."

"Do you also chat among assistants?" Song Yin seemed to have discovered a new continent: "Didn't you say before that there is only me in your world?"

"I only recently discovered that my system also has a communication function." Ergou himself was a little shaken and puzzled by this, "It seems that my program will also be upgraded synchronously according to your level."

"Okay...then if you meet someone you want to chat with, you can take it home and let me check it out for you." Song Yin put on an air of an elder, but it's a pity that artificial intelligence can't understand human beings' interest in "ethical stalking" where.

Alexander once again turned the focus back to the main topic: "So, the woman in red is arrested by the executive officer in the world, so why is the system issuing the super copy recruitment notice?"

"Because the woman in red is not the only stowaway."

The assistant officer operated the document projection and continued to slide down: "Just this week after the topic of the woman in red was blocked, city S reported more than [-] cases of young women suddenly falling into a coma due to unknown reasons. Among them, five cases of coma Severely ill patients for more than five days were found to wake up from a coma in the middle of the night, and left the hospital in incredible ways such as jumping out of windows and climbing facades, and their whereabouts have been unknown since then."

"These people are all fanatical star-chasers who have made wishes to the woman in red and cursed others?" Song Yin had already guessed the connection.

"According to the evidence and testimonies obtained by the police, all the sleeping people are believers of the woman in red, and even offered their own blood to her." The assistant officer further deduced, "The woman in red should have infected the stowaway to the on them."

"So, these young girls are the dream masters of this super dungeon?" Song Yin stretched out his arms, not seeming to be very interested in it: "What about the level of the dungeon? How many people are you recruiting?"

辅佐官旋即报出了一串数字：“截至目前的梦境子副本数为37个。其中危险副本7个、困难副本12个、剩下18个都属于挑战副本。保守估计共需要4级以上执行官70人，3级执行官80-100人，至于2级执行官更是多多益善。”

"There are quite a few pits. How about the reward?"

"Because of the urgency of the situation, the work points and rewards obtained for all dungeons will be tripled. In your words - if you grab it, you earn it."

Song Yin finally got a little interested when he heard the triple reward.But he still pouted: "Where is it the turn of us idlers to grab the fat? Most of it is contracted by those wealthy teams. Alas, I didn't expect that there would be polarization and the gap between the rich and the poor in this purgatory. See it through."

"You can go to Brother Yun Shi."

Alexander suddenly said with a smile: "He is so rich, he must have a team. Maybe he is the captain. Just take this opportunity to ask him to join you in the team. He treats you very well, and he probably won't refuse."

At first glance, Alexander's suggestion sounded reasonable—except that he didn't know that Yun Shi might be Qi Zhengnan.

Song Yin actually had a good impression of the other members of Yu Gutai, and wanted to join the team.It's just that with his current relationship with Qi Zhengnan, even if he squeezes in, he will only be arguing all day long, which is really meaningless.

However, it is possible to use this matter to test the reality of Yun Shi.

Thinking of this, he first asked Ergou: "Did you sign up at Yugutai?"

"Reported." Ergou nodded, "One of the seven members of the dangerous dungeon, and it is said that Foehn is the general coordinator of this super dungeon, and his assistant is very proud."

When Er Gou said that, Song Yin's mind suddenly came up with that oily big yellow cat, proudly sticking out its thick white-haired little chest.

He couldn't help but gossip a little again: "Hey, do you know why that guy asked Mao to be an assistant officer?"

"Not sure." Ergou shook his head, "Maybe it's your so-called cat slave attribute."

They were whispering, when Alexander asked with a smile: "Who are you talking about? Whose assistant is a cat?"

Song Yin was about to answer, but after thinking about it, it seemed a bit embarrassing for him to unilaterally pretend to be familiar with Qi Zhengnan, so he pretended to be indifferent: "It's nothing, I'm just a cat slave."
