Chapter 223

In the night, a huge motorcycle with yellow-brown stripes passed by, raising countless dust.

They are getting closer and closer to the factory that is about to explode.

The factory that was found to be secretly producing rose perfume was built in the suburbs, and it's one o'clock, which is exactly the time for Su Chao and the others to investigate.

Su Chao held the gun specially made by the Bureau of Institutional Disposal against his side, leaning against the door of the factory and cautiously peered in.

After looking around, Su Chou came out. He raised his collar and said to the microphone above:

"No one, safe."

At the same time, there was a reply from his earphone:

"Captain Su, we don't have any around us, it's safe."

"The second district is also safe."

"...The third district is also safe, Team Su is so strange..." The voice in the earphone paused hesitantly, "It doesn't look like anyone is working here at all, the ground is full of dust, and the latest footprints are ours. my own."

"The last time we came to inspect this factory, it wasn't the same, this time it seemed to have been abandoned for several years..."

Su Chou's eyes were clear and his face was calm: "Don't panic, it is very likely that there is a new heresy associated with the dry-leaf rose, or it is a new heresy that gave birth to the dry-leaf rose."

"This should be a heretical ability."

Su Chao continued to search downwards. He stepped on the open-air square covered with withered branches and leaves, and came to the dormitory where the processing workers lived. Kick at the crack at the lower end of the door that is warped by moisture.

The corpses lying on the bed in the dormitory opened their eyes. They twisted their limbs and stood up. Their rotten eyes turned to look at the crumbling door that was about to be kicked open. go.

At the same time as , the basement floor of the factory.

The team members held their noses and walked forward in a stinking prison imitation layer. They scanned the iron cages neatly one by one with complicated eyes. The structure inside the factory.

The green screen of the camera at night casts an ominous light in the dimly lit underground.

"...I don't know if this cage was built to hold something..." A team member frowned and walked a few steps inside, "And when we came here to seal up a factory a month ago, the place was completely different of."

"Yes." Another team member agreed, "Not only that, we have been closely monitoring the situation in the factory, this factory can't operate at all, I don't know how they are still producing and transporting perfume. "

As they talked, they walked in.

In the cage at the end of the basement floor, there is a huge three-meter-high cylindrical glass container as thick as four people hugging each other. The open opening of this container is emitting rose-red smoke. A vessel filled with a brightly colored liquid rose gas perfume with dried leaves.

There is a clock counting down on the glass cabinet, and the remaining time on it is less than a minute.

If Bailiu is in the room, he may estimate that this amount of perfume liquid is enough to pay the wages of all the employees of the rose factory in the game for a year.

Dried leaf rose gas is a flammable and explosive liquid. When a certain amount of liquid explodes, it will spread the aroma of roses to the entire sleeping mirror city nearby.

Even if Bailiu already knew how to use blood ganoderma branches to deal with dry-leaf roses, in the early stage of the disaster, before all order was established and functioning, there would be quite a few people with poor tolerance to dry-leaf roses who would wither because of it.

—— Compared with pregnant women who are still breastfeeding and newborns who have just been born for one month.

A group of team members walked cautiously to the end of the cage. Someone moved their nose and frowned and said, "...I smell a very strong fragrance of roses."

These words instantly alerted all the team members. They picked up their flashlights and searched carefully in the dungeon, walking back and forth in front of the glass vessel containing the huge rose liquid countless times.

But a strange thing happened, as if they couldn't see a glass cabinet, they could even pass through it directly——

——It was as if they were in a world of different dimensions with a glass cabinet that was about to explode.

"... Strange, I did smell it, but why can't I see anything?" The team members looked at the empty last cell, frowned in confusion, but finally chose to turn and leave.

The team members walked towards the exit of the basement floor. They turned on the communicator and broadcast to Su Chao: "Captain Su, the basement floor smells like roses, but there is nothing on the first floor."

Back then, the countdown of □□ jumped by one second, from 9:00 to 8:59.

On the first floor of the factory, outside the door of the workers' dormitory, Su Chong kicked the door open.

Su Chao walked into the dusty dormitory floor, looked around vigilantly with a gun, and finally put the gun on his waist.

He frowned and looked at an empty dormitory, and lifted the collar to announce: "The first floor of the dormitory building, I didn't find anything in my room, but I just smelled a strong smell of rotting corpses..."

"I thought I could find those missing employees here. It's been a month, but I haven't found them..." Su Chao sighed, and then cheered up again, "No news can be considered good news. Maybe they're still alive."

"Everyone, let's talk about the essence. In addition to searching for the equipment that secretly makes rose perfume in this factory, you should also pay attention to the search. When we searched this factory a month ago, we found that there were several employees who had disappeared in the employee list. ..."

"Most of the employees in this team are migrants who come to work in other places. If they go missing, no one will notice them. They may still be alive. Let the team members be ready to rescue at any time..."

While talking, Su Chou walked out.

In another space behind Su Chao's back, several pairs of rotten eyes stared at him motionlessly.

There are still eight minutes, four days and seven seconds before the explosion.

"There are still eight minutes, four days and seven seconds." Looking at the time on the wheel, Bai Liu reported calmly.

"It's already the fastest speed!" Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth, his motorcycle tires almost sparked on the cold and hard ground because of the high speed rotation, he cursed anxiously, "Damn! It turned out that it was in the game An explosion of that scale should require a large container of perfume, why can't the people who went to investigate see anything!"

"It's impossible not to see it." Bai Liu said lightly, "In order to minimize the harm of rose perfume, the investigation of the Bureau of Heresy has gone beyond the limit to prevent it from arresting me before it happens."

"Normally speaking, let's not talk about a bottle of rose perfume. Normally, they would not be able to miss a single rose seed."

Mu Sicheng was startled: "Then why..."

"Because the people who planned the launch of the game "Rose Factory" [now] have their world authority, just like ordinary people can't hear anything about the game in this world." Night Breeze said to Bai Liu With his forehead blown up and swaying, he looked up at the factory not far away, "Ordinary people who want to protect other people can't see or touch the world related to games."

"In order to protect the normal operation of the factory in the [real world], the game designer created an [inside world] for the factory manager to hide the real rose factory."

Mu Sicheng breathed out a breath of cold air: "It's the same design as the game "Rose Factory", isn't it?"

"Yes." Bai Liu's eyes were squinted by the fierce night wind, "According to my understanding, Tang Erda and the others are monitoring 24/7 factories that may produce perfume, but this factory is still able to It is illogical to continue to produce rose perfume for export under such surveillance.”

"Unless they finished the perfume in the other world, and then flipped it over to the store for sale, they wouldn't be able to find it at all, right?" Mu Sicheng asked back.

Bai Liu: "That's right."

Bai Liu continued: "Not only that, but the in-game newspaper said that before the explosion, members of the Bureau of Heresy searched the factory repeatedly, but they did not issue any notice to evacuate the citizens of the city. Stay where you are and search until the bomb goes off."

"It proves that they didn't see anything dangerous."

"It's very possible." Bai Liu looked up at the factory that was getting closer, "—what they saw was just an empty factory turned upside down as a cover."

"There's nothing in there,"

"Team Su, it's just an empty factory." The team members searched the entire factory and reported the results to Su Chao, "There's nothing inside."

Su Chao frowned, looking up at the decaying old factory in the night, he felt a sense of ominousness that was getting heavier and heavier.

He turned around and went back to the car, ready to fetch a special night vision device and search again, but the moment he opened the car door, his hands seemed to have expected that Su Chao would come back to get the night vision device, and stretched out to hand it to him. over him.

Su Chao looked at the person sitting in the car and was startled: "Why did you follow? Didn't you be told to stay in the heresy bureau to have a good rest?"

Lu Yizhan, who was sitting on the backseat of the car, scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Captain Su, I thought about it and it has something to do with Bai Liu. He really did it. As a public official around him, I didn't take the responsibility of supervision. , I can’t escape the blame, so after thinking about it, I still followed.”

Lu Yizhan raised his eyes, let out a deep breath, and looked at Su Chao: "I also ask Captain Su to let me search together!"

Su Chao was silent for a while, and finally, he was helplessly defeated by Lu Yizhan's eyes that almost stared at him, nodded: "It's an empty factory, there is no danger, come if you want."

Lu Yizhan breathed a sigh of relief, got out of the car and followed Su Chao and the others into the factory who were preparing for a second search.

There are still 6 minutes, 3 days and 1 second before the explosion.

The motorcycle hummed and turned steadily to a stop at the gate of the factory.

Bai Liu glanced over and saw several cars with the logo of the Dangerous Heresy Bureau parked in front of the factory.

On the way to the Heresy Processing Bureau, Bai Liu took a ride in this kind of car, and was deeply impressed by the weird octopus logo.

Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng found a place to hide as soon as they got out of the car—people from the Bureau of Heresy were patrolling outside, one of them is now a heretic who escaped from prison, and the other is a criminal who robbed a prison, both of which are to be arrested by the Bureau of Heresy People who show up directly will only be arrested on the spot.

At present, the arrest is still secondary. Tang Erda can help deal with it, but it will waste their time to deal with the arrest.

"How do you get in? Are you going to break in?" Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu, and he glanced at his digital watch, his face became more serious, "It's only six minutes!"

Bai Liu's eyes fell on the factory without moving: "Go in in a fair manner."

He touched the reverse cross frame and system coins that Tang Erda had returned at his neckline.

[System warning: It is forbidden to use props that have nothing to do with core desires in the present - zi la zi la - ban - stop -]

The current sizzle of resistance gradually weakened.

[System prompt: Does player Bai Liu use extraordinary props (reverse eyeballs)? 】

[props can glimpse the hidden evil truth]

【Sure. 】

Bai Liu took out a glass marble-shaped eyeball, and a rose floated and bloomed in the center of the eyeball. He held it between Mu Sicheng and himself:

"Closing the left eye and looking at the first eyeball, we can enter the inner world of the factory."

Before Mu Sicheng had time to think about what Bai Liu wanted him to do, he subconsciously followed his words and closed his left eye.

The roses in the eyeballs slowly bloomed, making people dazzled. The originally dense scenery around them withered faster, and the howls of rotting corpses and someone's skull appeared at their feet.

Mu Sicheng took a deep breath, covered his head, pushed away the eyeball, and stepped back.

Mu Sicheng, who had been racing for so long and didn't feel any discomfort just now, just looked at the eyes for a second, and felt a little nauseous—a disgusting feeling of being polluted by semen.

They entered a dark and real [inner world].

Bai Liu didn't feel affected at all, he closed his eyes and turned around to look at the factory behind him - the factory that was originally empty is now brightly lit, shadows coming and going, who don't know if they are people or ghosts, shuttle in the dim light, hands In it was a dustpan for delivering roses.

—Exactly like the scene in "The Rose Factory".

Bai Liu grabbed Mu Sicheng's wrist and ran in: "Go."

"Hey! Do you know where the bombs and perfume are placed?!" Mu Sicheng tried to hold Bai Liu, "At least we need to confirm the location so that we can rush in, otherwise it's not a gift?"

"I guess it's the innermost cage in the dungeon on the first floor of the basement." Bai Liu, who was running, turned around and looked at Mu Sicheng. "Someone told me."

Mu Sicheng was stunned: "Who told you?"

Bai Liu had no expression on his face: "Lu Yizhan, you are a fool."

"Hey! Hey! Why didn't I know when he told you! Was it during the blockade of hearts? You should tell me, Bai Liu!"

Bai Liu didn't say a word, and didn't care about Mu Sicheng who was screaming, but just dragged him into the factory.

In the game "Rose Factory", the place where Lu Yizhan, who serves as a test paper, is held is the last cage in the prison on the basement level.

And Lu Yizhan is a fool, if he was arrested with a group of people when the explosion happened, then this guy must apply to be imprisoned in the place where the perfume pollution and aroma damage are the most serious in order to protect others, and replace others. The harshest torture.

——As for the entire rose factory, is there any place that is more polluted than the place that exploded a few years ago?

Bai Liu thinks it's gone, and the guys at Lu Yi Station probably think it's gone too.

——So he was imprisoned at the place where the explosion happened for a whole year.

Bai Liu bypassed the factory's defenses and entered the factory from the back door. When passing by the corridor, Mu Sicheng quickly put down a few rickety carrion corpses, then turned around and walked to the entrance of the basement floor.

Mu Sicheng turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and walked down to follow Bai Liu. They walked all the way in until they reached the last cage.

A gigantic glass container continuously emits light pink smoke from its opening, and the entire cage is filled with the ecstatic aroma of roses.

The countdown on the glassware had reached four minutes.

"How to deal with it?" Mu Sicheng covered his mouth and nose, and asked Bai Liu in a low voice, "Move it out? Or just smash it up?"

Bai Liu stared at the utensils for less than a second, and said calmly, "It's too late."

"What's too late?!" Mu Sicheng was in a daze, he subconsciously looked at the countdown on the bomb, "Isn't there still more than four minutes?"

Bai Liu's eyes moved down, looking at the bomb at the bottom of the glass container: "It's useless to smash it, the real bomb is not a timed one, the first bomb is just a [lighter], and the real bomb is a perfume liquid , and the gas that is coming out of the tank.”

"Dried leaf rose gas, this perfume is supposed to be some kind of liquid gas analogue, even if we smashed a glass jar, or took away a bomb, as long as the liquid is still there, as long as someone brings any Mars, the explosion can still proceed smoothly."

"If the game designer insists on making a factory explode tonight, he can use anyone in the factory to use a large amount of perfume in the factory to do it, and we can't guard against it."

Speaking of identity, Bai Liu is still not in a panic: "—unless all the original perfume liquid stored in the whole factory is consumed at one time, otherwise they can create an explosion from the other world at any time, and then they will explode during the explosion." Flip to the present world in an instant."

Mu Sicheng let go of his hand covering his mouth and nose, his face tensed: "Then what should I do?"

"Evacuate the people." Bai Liu raised his eyes, "Then blow up a factory."

—————

Tang Erda confiscated a high-grade private car passing by, and now Mu Ke was driving at full speed towards the factory.

Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi were sitting on the front seat of the car. The owner of the car was not willing to borrow it, but Mu Ke gave him a credit card worth more than 3 million yuan and bought the car directly. Tang Er beat them In order to quickly rush to the factory.

"Still can't get through the phone?" Mu Ke anxiously looked into the mirror.

Tang Er said in a deep voice: "It should be impossible to get through. They are all turned off when they are performing tasks. If you want to contact them, you have to go back to the headquarters of the processing bureau to intervene in their wireless frequency modulation."

"It's too late." Liu Jiayi refuted the proposal without thinking, "Bai Liu and the others should be here, call them and ask what's going on over there."

As soon as Liu Jiayi finished speaking, Bai Liu called.

He called Tang Er: "Captain Tang, is there any way to disperse the citizens within the explosion range in a short time?"

"The city's air defense alert." Tang Erda replied quickly, but soon he clenched his fists, "But that requires a lot of evidence to prove that a dangerous situation is about to occur before it can be activated. My privilege is only for the heretics in the bureau, and I can't activate it." Various levels of alert."

"But we can't prove it. We can't even prove to people who haven't entered the game that the factory is about to explode, because it's the content in the game. If we say it, the sound will be silenced, right?" Bai Liu asked rhetorically.

Tang Erda leaned weakly on the car seat: "...Yes, they can't hear it at all."

"The explosion... will still happen, right?" Tang Erda raised his hand to cover his eyes and asked hoarsely.

Bai Liu answered him sincerely: "Yes."

"But maybe it was just an explosion." His voice was still calm and calm, without any waves, "Just now, Captain Tang, you said that if someone can prove that such an extremely dangerous thing as a rose gas explosion will happen, then the alarm Just start it, right?"

Tang Erda sat up straight slowly, he realized that Bai Liu seemed to have found some way, but he couldn't think of what the way was.

"Yes." Tang Er breathed heavily, "No matter what method you use, they won't be able to receive the message you want to convey at all, and they may even think that telling people to run is crazy."

"How are you going to prove that such a horrible thing that you've witnessed can actually happen?"

There was a lazy smile in Bai Liu's voice, and he said without end: "Captain Tang, who has privileges, remember to fish me out."

Then he hangs up the phone neatly, leaving behind a bewildered Tang Erda.

———————

Under the night when the dawn is coming, the wind is whispering.

After logging out of the other world, Bai Liu was arranging a black windbreaker that didn't fit her well.

After he smashed the glass jar and blew it away, they, an outsider, were discovered by the people from the rose factory in the world.

The people in the factory were prevented from launching an explosion in order to popularize rose perfume. Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng discovered that many employees were chasing them all over the place, and at the same time, many employees were still intensively using the reserve rose essence. Create a second explosion - exactly as Bai Liu expected.

In order to delay the time, Bai Liu left Mu Sicheng, who was moving fast, in the inner world to make trouble for the employees who were preparing for the second explosion. The area affected by the explosion.

Before Bai Liu stepped out of the inner world, Mu Sicheng asked Bai Liu the same question as Tang Erda - how do you convince other people that something like this will happen?

Let ordinary people who are not in the game believe that their world is a cruel game full of monsters?

Especially since you haven't been silenced yet.

Now that the temperature in the world is a little low, Bai Liu wore a windbreaker that he took from the other world. I don't know whose windbreaker he used to keep out the cold.

From the hidden stairwell behind the factory, Bai Liu walked towards the top floor of the rose factory step by step. On his right wrist was a big red and white plastic speaker that seemed to be used for employees to train and shout—it was also taken out by Bai Liu from the other world. of.

The moment he reached the top floor, he was discovered by the team members who were closely inspecting the factory below.

"There is a figure on the roof!"

"Is it the absconding factory director! Turn on the light and go see who it is!"

"Level 1 Alert!"

A beam of dazzling high beams swayed and positioned on the figure on the top floor. The strong light directly hitting the face of the white willow made him squint his eyes, but he didn't move, and he still stood steadily on the bottom roof.

The cold night wind blows the white willow hair hanging down the side of the face, and the long windbreaker that doesn't fit him. The morning dew seems to linger around him, and the residual fragrance of roses falls on the soles of his feet.

The people below have already recognized who he is.

"——It's Bai Liu!!"

"Why is he in the factory?! Quickly notify the processing bureau! The escaped heretic No. 0006 appeared in the factory!"

"Team Tang said he is very dangerous! He has the ability to control all heretics! What is he doing here?!"

Su Chao and Lu Yizhan looked up at the white willow that seemed to fall from the sky in disbelief.

With that same old smile on his face, Bai Liu raised the big horn to his lips: "Everyone, good morning."

"That's right. Before I ran away, I decided to do something that suited my identity—" Bai Liu opened his eyelids, and his smile became thicker in the gradually violent wind, "—as a person who has never been identified as an antisocial personality How can the laid-off workers not retaliate against society?"

"I lost my job, my friends, everything for no reason—but couldn't find anyone to blame for it, and branded you as monsters and locked you up in cages."

"How could I not take revenge?" Bai Liu raised the corners of her lips and said softly, "I decided to let you all taste what it's like to be a monster."

"I decided to blow up an entire factory, let dried leaf roses spread all over the world, and make you all my slaves."

After a few seconds of stagnation, someone shouted hoarsely: "—Contact the city, sound the air defense alarm, and let all residents evacuate out of the explosion range!!"

"Someone is maliciously spreading gas addiction!!"

Su Chao looked at Bai Liu standing on the top floor with one hand in his windbreaker pocket with horror.

Across the morning wind and fading night, the man was smiling at him playfully, and mouthed to him lazily:

"Does the rose scent on your body smell good, Captain Su?"
