“I actually made a discovery,” a hesitant voice sounded, and everyone followed the voice to see Xia Chi pointing at the eyeball, “Don’t you think this eyeball is quite large?”
Everyone: “…”
The man in the suit licked his somewhat dry lips, “Um, it’s another clue, indicating that this person had unusually large eyes?”
“An average adult eyeball is usually around 24mm in diameter,” Bai Lixin explained quietly, “but this eyeball seems to be already 27mm, which is indeed abnormally large.”
Mohawk looked puzzled, “What does that imply?”
Bai Lixin said, “It suggests that the victim might not have died recently. This eyeball appears to have expanded after being soaked for a while.”
The man in the suit: “Alright, let me summarize.”
“First and foremost, the color of the pupil is black.”
“Secondly, the time of death was before today.”
“Thirdly, the victim might have had an eye condition or was in a state of eye strain.”
He paused for a moment, “Could it be a deranged killer?”
“If the person had an illness, maybe there are some medical records at the hospital?” Xia Chi pondered.
After speaking, he searched through the crowd and quickly focused on a player with twin ponytails, “Miss, I remember your profession is a hospital nurse, right?”
The girl with twin ponytails hesitated for a moment, then blushed and nodded, “Yes, that’s right.”
The man in the suit said, “If you have a chance, you can investigate the medical records in the ophthalmology department to see if there are any suspicious records.”
The girl with twin ponytails replied, “Okay, I’ll do my best.”
She looked a bit conflicted as she spoke, “Um, I have to leave now. My profession task indicates that I have a night shift tonight. I’m starting at 8 PM, and it’s already 7:20. I need to leave now.”
Xia Chi said, “Then take your time and be safe on the way.”
The girl with twin ponytails blushed again, quickly turned her head, and left in a brisk walk. Her floral dress swayed with her movements, like a butterfly dancing among the flowers.
After watching the girl with twin ponytails disappear from their sight, only seven players remained out of the initial ten.
[Ding! A new task is issued.]
Suddenly, a system prompt rang loudly in Bai Lixin’s mind.
[The Sleep Tester is requested to enter Unit 802, Building 16, Gold Sea Luxury Apartments before 8 PM tonight and stay inside the room until tomorrow morning at 8 AM.]
[Your working time for this task is 12 hours, during which you can do anything except leaving the room.]
[If you leave the room, the client may doubt your professional ethics, which could affect your career and even lead to losing your job.]
[Congratulations, the player has obtained the task items: access card X1, room key X1.]
After the system’s introduction, Bai Lixin found a new access card and a key in his backpack.
Then, a translucent 3D map appeared in his mind. A green triangular icon marked his task location, and it even provided a route with the estimated arrival time.
The estimated arrival time was 7:40.
Bai Lixin stood up from the ground, “I’m leaving as well; I just received a task.”
Xia Chi: “Brother, I’ll go with you. I also got a task.”
Mohawk also stood up, “Me too, I was just about to say goodbye to you guys.”
One by one, the players stood up and, seeing this, Bai Lixin asked, “Are your tasks also at 8 PM?”
Everyone nodded.
At 8 PM, they all start their first day of work. Was it a coincidence?
After bidding farewell, Bai Lixin and Xia Chi left in the same direction.
Bai Lixin asked, “The sleep tester’s district is Gold Sea Luxury Apartments. How about you?”
Xia Chi replied, “What a coincidence, it’s the same for me.”
“I have a night shift, and this neighborhood seems to be where wealthy people live. There are patrols inside the community and even inside the corridors. I’ll be on patrol duty in the community from 8 PM until 2 AM. After 2 AM, I can rest.”
Gold Sea Luxury Apartments was the high-rise area they saw after entering the game.
This neighborhood was a mix of residential buildings, with separate villas at the front, which was the best location in this community.
Behind the villa area were six-story elevator houses, eleven-story and seventeen-story low-rise buildings, and finally, high-rise buildings with more than thirty floors at the back.
Xia Chi accompanied Bai Lixin, and they quickly found Building 16. Standing at the bottom of the building, Xia Chi glanced up, “Brother, I won’t accompany you up; I need to report to the security office.”
Bai Lixin nodded, “Alright, if anything comes up, we’ll talk in the private chat.”
After parting ways, Bai Lixin used the access card to open the door of the building’s code lock and quickly found the elevator. At this moment, the elevator was on the basement floor.
When the elevator slowly ascended from the underground parking lot, there was already a person inside.
The person was covered up from head to toe, wearing large thick sunglasses, a black hood, a black windbreaker, and a black eye mask.
Bai Lixin casually glanced at the person, then turned to press the elevator button, only to find that the floor he wanted was already lit up.
They were the only two people inside the elevator, and apparently, this mysterious person in the pitch-black outfit was also going to the 8th floor.
