Thriller Paradise

11th month, 15th day, 11 am.

In a residential building in S city, a 17-year-old teenager was gradually waking up from a coma.

After spending a few seconds to get used to the light in the room, he could see the scene in front of him clearly.

The first thing he saw were three figures ...

They were three men in dark-colored jackets, jeans, and ski masks. They were smoking and playing cards around a table.

Seeing that the young man had woken up, the three of them only glanced at him casually and did not have much of a reaction.

As for the young man ... He immediately fell into a panic.

Because he immediately realized that ... He was tied to a chair. Not only his hands, but even his waist and legs were firmly tied to the chair, and he could barely move. In addition ... His mouth was also taped, so he couldn't speak.

"Where am I? How did I get here?" The young man was shocked, who are these people? Is this a kidnapping?"

Soon, with a wave of dizziness, fragments of memories flashed through his mind ...

"Oh right! It's in that toilet!"

This young man's name was MA junzhu. A year ago, he was still an ordinary high school student who was average in his studies, loved to play games, had an average appearance, and was short. But now, he was a celebrity professional player and one of the top players in the industry's largest studio. His ID was "sky-swallowing Phantom dawn."

Recently, because of the competition, ghost hunter had been working the night shift every day. Of course, although he said that he was going to work, he actually spent most of his time sleeping in the game cabin.

During the day, he didn't need to stay in the company. As long as he stayed online for more than three hours a day (real time, non-sleep mode), he could work from home.

But at night ... He still had to clock in at the Order headquarters around 10 O' clock to do some pre-match preparations, then lie down in the company's equipment for the game.

At Seveno' clock in the morning, ghost hunter left the company building as usual. He bought some breakfast on the way and took the subway home.

Although it was still peak hour around Seveno' clock, and it was well known that the subway in S city could squeeze people dry, ghost hunter didn't "work" at this time, but "off work". The line he took was the opposite of the crowded one, and there were about seven or eight people in an average carriage.

Therefore, he had an empty seat as soon as he got on the bus today.

However ... After two stops, the demon ghost suddenly felt uncomfortable. Maybe the breakfast she bought today was not clean ... A sharp pain in her stomach came without warning.

Fortunately, the subway station was not long, and there was a toilet at the station. So, he rushed out of the carriage at the next stop and went straight to the toilet in the subway station.

This trip ... Took almost two hours.

Two hours later, ghost hunter walked out of the toilet cubicle with weak legs.

In fact, in the last 20 minutes, his diarrhea symptoms had basically been relieved. Otherwise, he might have called the ambulance. However ... He spent another 20 minutes massaging his legs before he could stand again.

After coming out, the demon ghost went to the sink in the public toilet. He let out a long breath, washed his hands, and then lowered his head to wash his face.

However, the moment he lowered his head ... He lost consciousness.

He couldn't remember the last part of his memory, but he wasn't stupid ... From the current situation, he was either knocked unconscious from behind, or his mouth and nose were covered with anesthetic.

"I don't feel any pain in my neck, just a little dizzy ..." After calming down, Phantom dawn began to think."It's probably ether or something ..." His eyes swept over the three men."These three ... They're obviously adults. It'll be easy to take me away."

Thinking about this, he looked around.

The place he was in at the moment seemed to be an unfurnished room. There was almost no furniture in the empty room, but thick curtains had been hung by the windows. The walls and ceiling were simply painted white, and the floor was made of concrete.

As far as his eyes could see, the only furniture he could see was a simple folding table, a few chairs, and a fluorescent light in the corner of the ceiling. The light was still on, which meant that there was at least electricity in the house. According to ghost Hunter's reasoning ... There should be water too. Otherwise, these people couldn't have gone to the public toilet while holding the hostage, right?

This is not good ... These people are as calm as ever after I woke up ... Looking around, Xiao Gui thought to himself, according to the movies ... People who have this kind of reaction are either desperadoes, professional criminals, or both ... He broke out in a cold sweat. I'm not a young girl, so it's not possible for me to rape him ..."

It was indeed impossible ... Because if the other party really wanted to rape him, it was very likely that he wouldn 't' naturally wake up ', but wake up in some other way.

"If it's a robbery ... That's not right ..." Ghost hunter continued to think,"my parents are ordinary blue collar workers. Although my current annual salary is not bad, it's not so high that I need to be kidnapped ..."

That's right, the deduction of "exchange for ransom"... Was also unreasonable.

In terms of difficulty, kidnapping a child was obviously much easier than kidnapping a high school student like him. In terms of profit, if he really wanted to kidnap the adults ... He should at least choose someone who came from a relatively rich family, such as Jin Fugui ...

No matter how he thought about it, kidnapping ghost hunter was a difficult and low-paying job. Obviously, the three people who attacked ghost hunter ... Had other purposes.

"Wait ... Could it be ..." After a few seconds, a reliable thought flashed through ghost Hunter's mind."Could it be related to my match in the early morning?"

He finally thought of something.

But ... Even if he knew this, he did not have the ability to escape.

At this time, there were still ... 12 hours and 53 minutes left before the competition at midnight on the 16th.

…………

At the same time, in the main office of studio order.

"Hmm ... Still can't get through ..." Zen dream was suspicious when he heard the line "the number you have dialed can't be reached".

Brother Zen was not a person who liked to bring work home, so he did not leave the company in the morning like the other members of team one. Instead, he switched to non-sleep mode and prepared to get off work after completing the requirements for the day.

"That's troublesome ..." This was the fifth time Zen dream had called ghost Hunter's phone in the past 40 minutes, but he still couldn't get through.

It was a coincidence. When ghost hunter came to the company last night, he had forgotten to bring the key to his storage cabinet, so he had borrowed brother Chan's storage cabinet. In the end, this kid had forgotten to put the key at the front desk when he went home this morning and had taken it away in a daze ...

As for brother Zen ... His car keys, house keys, wallet, and other miscellaneous items were all in his jacket, and his jacket was in the locker ...

Of course, the company definitely had a spare key for the storage cabinet, but due to personal privacy issues, the administrative process of applying for this key was very troublesome (there was a very casual period, but after several incidents of theft and invasion of personal privacy, it became stricter), which might take half a day.

At this moment ... Brother Chan had nothing but a mobile phone with him, so he naturally had to call ghost hunter ... And use this guy to ask.

But ... He just couldn't get through.

"Hmm ... Why don't I ask the team leader what's the phone number of this kid's house ..." Brother Zen had not thought of the worst. The first thing he thought of was whether the other party had thrown the phone in some place with bad signal or lost it.

…………

Afternoon, 4:49.

There were still ... Seven hours, eleven minutes to go before the competition on the 16th at midnight.

呜--呜--

After hearing the vibration, Feng bujue, who was browsing the internet, glanced at the phone on the table and saw an unknown number.

"Is this some sort of marketing or scamming again ..." Brother Jue mumbled and picked up the phone.

Although he felt that it was probably a harassment call, he would still pick it up. Basically ... When Feng bujue picked up this kind of call, he would only need to listen to the other party speak for five seconds to know the general nature of the call. Then, he would hang up without a word and add the number to his blocked list.

"Hello, who is this?" Brother Jue said after picking up the phone.

"Er ... Hello, are you Feng bujue?" A familiar voice came from the other side of the phone.

Brother Jue quickly identified the source of the voice in his mind."Smoking and drinking hot soup?"

"Hey, hey ... Even if You Don't Know My Name, you can still call me by my in-game nickname ..." Brother Zen was not angry, but he was a little annoyed."What the hell is this smoking and drinking hot water?"

"How did you get my number?" Feng bujue did not answer the question but threw out a question that he was more interested in.

"I'm at the Public Security Bureau now. The police told me. " Zen Dream's reply was rather surprising.

"Oh ..." Feng bujue answered casually."You want me to protect you when you're caught for prostitution?"

"Big brother ... I really have to call you big brother ..." Zen dream said,"How did you come to that conclusion?"

"It's very simple. From the way you smoke and drink hot water, it gives me the feeling that you often visit low-end brothels. " Feng bujue replied in a lazy tone,"and then you said that you were at the police station when you called me. Then, there's an 80% chance that you were unlucky enough to be caught in an operation to crack down on prostitution, right? In your case ... If you inform your family, you basically won't survive. If you ask your unit's leader to pick you up or your friend to bail you out ... Not to mention that you won't be able to raise your head in front of others in the future, the news will eventually leak out. And so, you thought of me. "

Zen dream was silent for 30 seconds.

"Brother Feng ... Your reasoning is fine, but your prejudice against me is too serious ..." Brother Zen finally said after holding it in for a long time.

"Alright, then tell me, what's the matter?" Feng bujue said.

"Mm ... It's like this ..." Zen dream said,"ghost hunter ... Seems to have been kidnapped."

"Ha?" Feng bujue was stunned for a second."Have you called the police?"

"I signed up at noon." Zen dream said,"at first, we thought it was a case of disappearance. Plus, he's a young man, so the police didn't pay much attention to it ... But as you know, we have an important competition tonight ... So, our company's leader used some connections and 'delayed' the progress of the investigation ... An hour ago, the police had already taken the surveillance footage ..."

"Stop! Thank you!" Feng bujue interrupted the man."Just answer me that you called the police, and that will do ... There is no need to say so much."

"Brother Feng ..." Brother Chan said."I called you ... To ask for your help."

"You need my help?" Feng bujue laughed coldly."Ha ... What can I do to help?" He then said something shameless,"although I'm a great writer and have the ability of a famous detective ... It's obviously more appropriate for the police to handle this case." He paused for a moment."Don't worry~our country's police officers are very powerful when they 'get serious'. Their investigation and execution abilities are ..."

"Brother Feng," Suddenly, Zen dream lowered his voice and said to brother Jue in a serious tone,"it's not that I'm worried about their abilities ... But there's something else."

"Oh?" Feng bujue's sharp senses picked up something from the man's tone."Why do you say that?"

"It's not convenient to talk over the phone ... Can you come to the Public Security Bureau?" Zen dream replied.

"Hmm ..." Feng bujue thought about it for a few seconds."Sure ..." Before the other party could reply, he asked,"give me the address."

…………

Thirty minutes later, a silver Porsche stopped in front of a Public Security Bureau in S city.

Two men got out of the car. One was Feng bujue, and the other was Wang Tanzhi.

As they had contacted each other through the phone, Zen dream was waiting for them outside the reception hall.

"I say ... You two, come to the police station and drive a Porsche or something ..." Brother Chan complained as soon as the three of them greeted each other.

"You don't have to say anything. I understand. We've always kept a low profile." Feng bujue replied calmly.

In a way, he was right ... Compared to the other cars in Xiao Tan's house, be it color or price, this one was very low-key ...

"Haha ... Okay ... Okay ..." Brother Chan really didn't know how to continue, so he changed the subject."Right, time is limited. Let's talk about business first ..."

After that, he pulled brother Jue and Xiao Tan to the side mysteriously and stood in an empty corner outside the room.

" This ... I’m only telling you ..." Zen dream was obviously a smart person. He knew that what he was about to say could not be passed to ghost Hunter’s family or any police officer's ears. " In fact, I had a lot of faith in the police, but ... Just before I called you, I accidentally heard the Deputy bureau chief talking to someone else on the phone in the toilet ..." He looked around cautiously and lowered his voice. " It was muffled in the bathroom, so I could hear the conversation on the phone ..." He paused for half a second, stared into their eyes, and said, " I don’t know who was on the other end of the phone, but ... I clearly heard that he instructed the Deputy Director to try to delay the investigation ... He also said that it should be delayed until at least two in the morning. " (To be continued.)
