Chapter 213 Secret Code
Li Ang roughly explained the background of this matter to Tang Rannuo, and then refreshed the Anti-996 License project page on the tablet computer, but there was no trace of garbled characters.
"Well... there are three possibilities."
Li Ang said seriously: "One, this page has been reset, canceling the curse of cognitive bias.
Second, the previous curse was specifically aimed at Xia Junqiang. After it took effect, the caster would immediately cancel it.
Three, we did not meet the conditions to trigger the curse. "
Tang Rannuo frowned and thought about it, and quickly realized it.
The probability of the first possibility is not high, because the Anti-996 License page has a lot of visitors. If the visitor is cursed with cognitive bias, there may be a series of death incidents exposed by now.
The second possibility is currently untestable. It is impossible for two players to enter Xia Junqiang's room right now and search on his computer.
Even if they find an intelligence dealer now, buy a set of hacking software from him, and try to hack into Xia Junqiang's personal computer, it is unrealistic - there is too little time left, and it is a matter of whether the computer is scrapped or not.
The third possibility, on the contrary, is the most likely,
If the unknown caster widely arranges the curse of cognitive bias on the webpage, and sets certain trigger conditions (for example, the curse will only take effect when the viewer has red hair),
Then it is indeed possible to shrink the scope of spread and accurately curse certain groups.
But the problem is, God knows what characteristic of Xia Junqiang's body meets the trigger condition of the curse,
Li Ang and Tang Rannuo are not experts in mysticism, and they don't have time to verify Xia Junqiang's curse trigger process one by one.
The mission goal of the first stage is to find out the cause of Xia Junqiang's death,
The two guessed that he died of a curse, but they haven't figured out the specific process of triggering and taking effect of the curse, and failed to meet the requirements for completing the first stage of the task.
Seeing that the mission time limit is approaching, the atmosphere between the two players has become more and more weird.
The cooperative tasks in the regular world are best if they can be completed, and there is no big loss if they cannot be completed.
And once the time limit is over and the friendly forces between the two are shielded from damage, the first thing to do is probably to guard against attacks from the other party.
There is no trust between players. The strong can take advantage of the weak at will, using the real identity and life safety of the weak as bargaining chips, threatening the other party to hand over all the equipment and props on their bodies, and then package and sell the weak.
Such things are quite common overseas. Some bad players even form hunting brigades to actively search for extraordinary events and hunt other players who unfortunately come into their sight.
Lone wolf players and all major official organizations hate hunting brigades, but as long as there are interests, there will be disputes and killings.
'If you can't think of a way, you can only fight him head-on...'
The expression on Tang Rannuo's face was still cold, but his brain was running fast, and he said silently in his heart, 'If we really want to fight, I'm afraid I'm not his opponent.
This guy's basic attributes are extremely high, not at all like the physique that an ordinary player of my level should have. '
It is true that Tang Rannuo is a player above level ten, but she is not a complete combat professional player, nor has she joined any organization, and she only maintains a relationship of "knowing but not familiar" with members of the Special Affairs Bureau.
If she really wanted to fight Li Ang, Tang Rannuo felt that she had no advantage—even if she was accompanied by a golden retriever dog with extraordinary abilities.
Difficult....
Tang Rannuo let out a long sigh in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all - any slight expression would make the other party suspicious, and then magnify his killing intent towards her.
"I have a way to verify the third possibility." Tang Rannuo said, "But I have to send a message to my friend."
"Oh?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "The friend you mentioned is a mystic?"
"Almost, she has some research on occult rituals."
Tang Rannuo answered vaguely, staring straight at Li Ang, waiting for the other party's agreement.
From the beginning of the mission, the two players have been inseparable like conjoined twins. This is mainly to prevent the other party from notifying the official organization and betraying the other party.
Actively contacting a third person is likely to be considered a provocative move, and there is also the threat of intelligence leakage.
"Ok...."
Li Ang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, and let go of the tablet that originally belonged to Tang Rannuo.
The latter took the tablet and put it on the coffee table. After sliding it a few times, he found a QQ friend named "White Bear" (the profile picture is a polar bear), and sent him a photo of Xia Junqiang's screen , and sent a message.
"Hello, this picture is an extraordinary event I just encountered. I guess it is the curse of cognitive bias in occultism. Can you find a way to figure out its trigger conditions, mode of action and target of the curse?"
After sending the message, Tang Rannuo and Li Ang waited quietly for several minutes, staring at the tablet screen in silence.
This white bear's QQ friend is actually the best friend who lives with Tang Rannuo, and is also a model, a young hairy girl from Russia.
A few months ago, the two were randomly selected by the system to become players at almost the same time.
For so long, Tang Rannuo and Mao Mei have been supporting and encouraging each other, struggling to survive in the terrifying and desperate tasks, and the pure feelings between each other have also heated up sharply.
The QQ account she is using now and Bai Xiong's QQ account are both registered before, and there is nothing in it.
The two made an appointment, in the event of any emergency (such as being held hostage, coerced, kidnapped or forced to enter a routine task),
Just use these two QQs to communicate. When communicating, you can further express your current situation and hidden requests to the other party based on tone, words, and punctuation.
(For example, there is the word "Hello" at the beginning, which proves that you have entered a regular mission and is with another player you don't know. There is no punctuation at the end, which proves that you are still safe now...)
Tang Rannuo issued a request to his girlfriend who is proficient in occultism, and the secret code contained in the request,
And that best friend also reacted quickly, and while preparing to support Tang Rannuo, she typed and sent a message.
"These garbled characters on the screen are indeed the curse of cognitive bias.
The source and caster of the curse are unknown.
The triggering condition of the curse is that the concept of interests is biased towards the working people, they have strong and simple values, and they have a hatred attitude towards business owners who squeeze the surplus wealth created by workers.
The ultimate goal of the curse is to further solidify the subject's outlook on life, world outlook and values, making them tenacious, tenacious, and not easy to yield. "
Following the best friend's answer, Li Ang and Tang Rannuo also heard a system notification sound, reminding them that the first phase of the mission objective has been completed and they are entering the second phase.
