There are still a few hours until eight o'clock in the evening.Jiang Ying first opened the alliance lobby app and looked in the chat bar.

The nearby channels are frantically swiping the screen.

The 'Xia Xia', who was a policewoman, told the others that the '50% off special', that is, the player who randomly became the clerk of the cold drink shop, was just caught in the bureau, and he was the one who was going to be executed tonight.

She had read the information in the bureau. Just execution refers to the torture of people to death through extremely cruel means.

Xia Xia is a new policeman in the police station. The seniors entrusted her with the task of executing the "50% off special price" on the grounds of taking care of the newcomers.

Ask her to come up with an execution method before eight o'clock in the evening, and prepare the relevant props needed for the execution.

Although she didn't receive a new system task, no matter how she refused, those npcs insisted on her coming, saying that it would allow her to integrate into the town faster.

Before this female player entered the game, she was just an ordinary worker.He has never even done stealing, let alone killing people.The one to kill was someone who had talked with her for a few hours and had a good relationship.

Now she was panicking with fright and was crying anxiously.

Other players came out to comfort her, and some people asked her what happened to the '50% off special'.

Xia Xia: "It seems that because of the role he played, he was not clear with the married woman and was discovered by her husband."

Xiaoxiao smiled: "Ah, why are you so strict."

I love physics: "You didn't believe me when I said this town was abnormal."

Flipping through the chat content, Jiang Ying raised her eyebrows slightly.

He thought for a few seconds and typed a paragraph of text in the input field.

A: "It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still six hours before eight o'clock in the evening. The system has not issued an execution task for you, which means that the game does not force players to kill each other. You can use this blank period to find a rescue" 50% discount"way."

Xia Xia: "But, but the npc wants me to use this time to come up with a cruel way to kill people. I haven't figured out what to do yet."

A: "It's cruel enough to take a kitchen knife and cut people up bit by bit. If you want to save him, the remaining time is enough for you to search for clues centered on the police station. If you don't want to save him, just follow the npc and integrate into the group."

A: "Before the investigation begins, you must carefully read the police manual, don't behave abnormally, and don't arouse suspicion. Be careful, this game will really kill people."

Having said all that needs to be said, Jiang Ying exited the software without looking at other people's replies.

He can't leave the convenience store for a while, and he can't help.

And it looked like this group of people came from the central area of the city.

The central area of the city is managed by the government, with a stable and peaceful life.

The five large districts on the outskirts of the city are gray areas, where the government, royal family, emerging religions, and rebels vie for territory every day.

Jiang Ying is a permanent resident in the suburbs. He has never been to the 'city', and he doesn't like those 'city people'.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ying suddenly remembered something. He looked down at the boy in his arms: "Xiao Qin, do you live in the city or the suburbs?"

Qin Huo shook his head blankly.

Jiang Ying thought it might be because the child was too young to remember where home was.

He didn't ask any more questions, and checked the entire convenience store with Qin Huo in his arms.But apart from the human head in the freezer, there are no other clues here.

Instead, when I checked the shelves, I found several fairy tale books, which said that the school-age children were 48 years old.

After replenishing the products on the shelves, Jiang Ying hugged the boy on her lap and began to tell him stories.

This was Qin Huo's first time listening to a fairy tale. He leaned in the man's arms, grabbed the clothes on his chest, and listened seriously.

The story is called "Nasty Puppies"

Basically, there's a dirty stray dog in town.

It goes crazy on the streets every day and runs all over the town.He barks when anyone approaches and likes to interrupt police work.

Because the puppy is too noisy and disobedient, everyone doesn't like it.In order to make the little dog a good dog, the mayor specially bought a big dog and taught it how to be good.

The fairy tale book has illustrations of two cartoon anthropomorphic puppies.The big dog is teaching the little dog how to wear a collar, pick up a plate, and how to play games with its owner.

At the end of the story, the puppy successfully changed from a stray dog to a domestic dog.It has its own collar, lying at the owner's feet, happily gnawing on the bones.

There was a passage on the last page, which Jiang Ying also read out.

"This story tells us that children who obey discipline are popular and good children."

After reading, Jiang Ying clicked her tongue.

This story is so boring.

He looked down at the boy in his arms, who was yawning and seemed uninterested.

Thinking that there might be clues hidden in the storybook, Jiang Ying flipped through the whole book and jotted down all the stories.

Every story is very boring, perhaps only suitable for children under the age of three to read.

After closing the storybook, Jiang Ying put the boy on the chair, squatted down with his back to him, and let him lie on her back.

"Xiao Qin, come up, brother will take you to ride a big horse."

Qin Huo didn't know what riding a horse was, so he obediently got on it.

Hugging Jiang Ying's neck, Qin Huo was about to ask how to play the game when he suddenly felt fart.The stock was held up with one hand.

He twisted back and forth uncomfortably, but was patted twice by Jiang Ying.

"Don't move around, run for a while, I'm afraid you will fall."

Qin Huo wanted to say that he didn't want to play anymore, but Jiang Ying had already run out without him.

This was Qin Huo's first time riding a horse. He was carried back and forth in the convenience store.The man really regarded him as a child, and said something to coax the child while running.

For example, if there is a tile with a different color on the ground, he will say, 'There is a trap, and the brave knight will control the horse to jump over it.'

He came across a shelf in the way and said, 'That's a thornbush, let's be careful.'

Finally rushed to the toy area, Jiang Ying pointed to a plastic sword, and said with a soft smile in a coaxing tone: "The legendary sword at that time, the brave one quickly pull it out!"

After Jiang Ying finished speaking, she suddenly felt the child behind her trembling.

He put the child on the ground, the boy clenched his teeth, his little face flushed red.

Jiang Ying touched the boy's forehead, "Uncomfortable?"

Qin Huo lowered his head and said nothing, his body trembling uncontrollably.

It's such an embarrassing game, he won't play it anymore.

After confirming that the child was fine, Jiang Ying took Qin Huo to the shelf and stuffed the toy sword into his hand.He also pointed to the teddy bear not far away, asking him to destroy the evil dragon.

After taking the children to play the game of Dragon Quest, Jiang Ying felt that her favorability in Jin Thigh's heart should have successfully climbed a bit.

There's no boy who doesn't like role-playing, he's been doing it since he was a kid.It's just that he was riding on the little friends at that time, directing them to run around.

Thinking that the child was probably hungry, he rubbed the boy's head, turned around and went to the lounge to find staff meals.

When Jiang Ying was out of sight, Qin Huo rushed to the door of the convenience store in a few steps, trying to escape.

Before his hand touched the door of the store, two people walked up the street.

The glass door was pushed open, the mechanical doorbell rang, and Jiang Ying poked her head out of the lounge.

He greeted him enthusiastically, and brought back Qin Huo who was standing at the door, and taught him not to run around, or he would never take him to ride a horse again.

Before Jiang Ying finished speaking, the well-behaved and sensible child began to struggle desperately, with two short legs tossing back and forth in the air.

Get smacked twice.After that, it stopped again.

After coaxing the child, Jiang Ying was about to go back.The two guests who had been standing opposite him suddenly said, "This is your child."

Jiang Ying hummed, "My son."

The guest reached out to tease him, but Qin Huo gave him a hard look.

The guest looked at Jiang Ying again: "You are a single father working with children? It's not easy to take care of children, especially lively and naughty children."

He opened the briefcase: "Why don't you take a look at the new products developed by our company, good baby candy and the latest parent-child game gift pack."

Jiang Ying didn't expect to meet sellers in the game.

Probably a useful game item, but unfortunately he has no money.

————

The two guests were invited into the lounge for tea. They drank very happily, cried and left praises for Jiang Ying, and gave him two products to try.

Watching the two leave at the door, Jiang Ying returned to the cashier with the props.

Just now he found a whip and electric shocks on the two guests.gun.I heard them say that this is for dog training, and almost every household in the town has a dog.

Large dogs are not easy to train. In order to prevent vicious dogs from hurting people, they will occasionally resort to extreme measures.

I don't know how I provoked Qin Huo. From the very beginning, the young golden thigh was huddled in the corner alone, and refused to be hugged by him again.

Fortunately, the child is very forgetful, so we should be able to reconcile with him after a while.

Jiang Ying opened the software and took a look.

"Mission update prompt, received praise from 5 guests (3/5)"

"Reminder of favorability update, two residents' favorability towards you has changed from 'strange' to 'fear'; one resident's favorability towards you has changed from 'love' to 'secret love'"

Jiang Ying frowned.

There's no one in the lounge, so who the hell is that resident in the back?

————

At eight o'clock in the evening, the town radio rang again.

Jiang Ying took the map and held Qin Huo in one hand, and walked to the central statue.

All the residents gather here, but fortunately, the open space in the middle is large enough and not too crowded.

The crowd around was noisy, and Jiang Ying listened attentively to their conversation.

Several residents who were chatting said that the town seemed to have an infectious disease.The doctor took the deceased's body back for examination, but there is no result yet.

A middle-aged woman covered her mouth nervously: "What is the route of transmission of the disease, is it transmitted from person to person or from pets?"

"I don't know, but if you have pets at home, you should be careful recently."

Jiang Ying looked up at the statue while listening to them talking.

It was a faceless humanoid statue, and he was holding a board in his hand that read - 'Small Town Hero'

A few minutes later, the mayor finished his speech, and a group of policemen took the criminals onto the stage.

After seeing the number of criminals, Jiang Ying was taken aback.

There were a total of three people who were put on the execution platform.A man in a soda shop costume, a girl in a junior high school uniform, and a disheveled man.

Wearing handcuffs and anklets, they were desperately begging for mercy with terrified faces.

The mayor pointed to the three and introduced them one by one.

"He messed with a married woman, ruined other people's family harmony. She bullied classmates, caused harm to students. This man committed rape. He raped two poor ladies."

"According to the rules of the town, we will execute them justly. Now we invite our new police officer, Officer Xia, to execute the execution."

Before he finished speaking, a female police officer with a kitchen knife was pushed onto the stage.She staggered a few steps and walked over tremblingly.

The mayor took her by the arm and led her to the male clerk.

The male clerk begged wildly: "I'm on a 50% discount, we chatted before. Believe me, I don't even know who that woman is, I'm innocent!"

The townspeople shouted from below: "Kill him, kill the sinner!"

Being flanked by both sides, with the police watching, Xia Xia's eyes were red.She struggled for a while, finally clenched her teeth, closed her eyes and slashed down fiercely.

The male clerk had a big gash in his neck, and blood gushed out.His eyesight gradually became slack, completely lifeless.

Jiang Ying stood in the crowd watching the whole process, and he sighed silently.

It's over, Xia Xia is over.
