Chapter 91: 090. [The Final Piece]_1
“Na.”
“Why does it feel like the last ti this conversation happened was just yesterday?”
“…Cooperate, please. Your na.”
“Lu Ban.”
“Age.”
“22.”
Lu Ban was once again being questioned at the police station, sitting across from him were the sa officers he had t before, Chen Danshen and He Youwu.
The sowhat familiar scene made one wonder if ti had flowed backward.
“I understand now.”
After repeating his personal information, Lu Ban suddenly had an epiphany and spoke out.
“What do you understand?”
He Youwu asked out of curiosity.
“One of the three of us has the ability to make people sit in an interrogation room.”
Lu Ban said earnestly.
“…You’ve been reading too many comics.”
He Youwu felt that he shouldn’t have asked that question to this ntally ill person thirty seconds ago.
“We were on guard at places where the suspect might appear; those were all plainclothes officers. How does an ordinary citizen specifically go looking for trouble with the police…”
Chen Danshen massaged his temples.
“I also want to do my part in catching the murderer.”
Lu Ban didn’t even think before he answered imdiately.
“The best help you could give is to take good care of yourself.”
Chen Danshen declined the offer.
“No problem.”
Lu Ban nodded, then added.
“However, Officer, I do think that the criminal might not co back to this neighborhood again.”
“Why?”
He Youwu asked subconsciously, then imdiately felt annoyed, regretting engaging in the conversation.
“His previous cri scenes were distributed in different districts of Jiangcheng, so he probably won’t co back here again.”
Lu Ban analyzed simply.
“But this kind of psychopathic killer might kill for fun, and it’s very possible he would return to the scene to check out the situation.”
He Youwu imdiately countered.
“If I were the criminal, having dismbered the body to delay its discovery, there would be no need for
to co back to the cri scene and increase suspicion.”
Lu Ban answered as though it were obvious.
“Also, with so many CCTV caras in Jiangcheng, after committing so many cris, it’s impossible that the criminal wasn’t caught on cara. You must have had specialists analyze the footage, looking for soone who appears on multiple caras. Considering the cri scenes are spread across various districts, it would be odd if the sa person kept showing up on CCTV. But so far, there are no clear suspects, so is it possible that the criminal has never been caught on cara, or maybe…”
“—he’s soone who wouldn’t be included on the suspect list even if he were caught on cara.”
“That’s a good point.”
Chen Danshen nodded repeatedly.
However, they were not part of the major case squad but rather local patrol officers responsible for this area, only involved in the investigation because a cri had occurred.
“So, what kind of person do you think the criminal could be?”
He Youwu’s curiosity got the better of him again.
“I think he might have supernatural abilities, which ordinary people can’t detect.”
Lu Ban said with utmost seriousness.
“…Finish your statent and go ho. Don’t wander outside alone at night anymore.”
He Youwu realized that expecting anything from Lu Ban was his own mistake.
Lu Ban responded and briefly answered a few more questions before leaving the transcribing room.
As soon as he stepped out, he noticed the warning posters on the wall against fruit chat and being wary of new forms of online fraud began to distort.
The System’s cold, indifferent text surfaced on the blue-background poster.
[Congratulations on completing the Career Developnt Task]
[Settlent will now comnce]
[Task Exploration Degree: 80%]
[Task Completion Status: Spectacular]
[By taking an unconventional approach, you’ve successfully srized millions with your work. Not being confined to a form of expression can better please the masses, and the world has now successfully rembered you.]
[Silence Points Earned: 7800 points]
[Settlent completed]
[It’s ti for a true adventure, to venture into those unknown domains, unearth more secrets buried in history, and let the public witness the miracle of vision!]
[Please complete the task and receive your reward.]
On the eleventh day after he posted the video, Lu Ban’s interactive video finally reached ten million hits, aning it had been viewed by ten million people.
As for how many actually watched it and how many tis they returned to it, that was beyond Lu Ban’s knowledge.
With previous accumulations included, Lu Ban now had 24,636 Silence Points, which was quite generous.
“After the job had a difficulty bonus attached, the gains clearly surpassed those of the career task, but overall, the career tasks are easier to complete.”
He thought to himself as he walked away from the police station.
The Jiangcheng University campus still held the heat of September in the afternoon, where new students were undergoing military training, teeming with youths in camouflage outfits, their skin slightly reddened from the sun.
Many of these students were still not used to university life, shuttling between military training, dormitories, and the cafeteria.
So had already started enjoying themselves, taking advantage of the early end of military training to head for internet cafes.
The trash bins had been cleaned out and the incident hushed up tight, apart from a few eyewitnesses, not many knew about the horrifying murder that had taken place here.
“Not bad, at least I don’t have to waste my single draw today.”
Lu Ban casually ate sothing on the back street of Jiangcheng University as his dinner, bought a waterlon, returned ho, tidied up a bit, and then sat down in front of his computer.
The computer screen had transford, displaying three fras.
In the leftmost fra made of a mahogany structure and crafted with care, the texts ford the style of a splash ink landscape painting. Lu Ban carefully read the system instructions that were outlined in it.
[The Final Piece]
[So say an artist’s supre masterpiece only exists after his death]
[In the upper echelons of the Abandoned Capital, where life is so cheap amidst the drunken revelry of wealth, pursuing those extraordinary art pieces becos a pasti for the rich]
[A sculptor unfortunately passes away, and you attend his lavish funeral in the Abandoned Capital]
[But rumors say his last work is a priceless treasure, coveted even by the ruler of the Abandoned Capital]
[“My… precious!”]
“The Abandoned Capital, the old place,” Lu Ban felt a sense of familiarity and fondness.
“This task seems to take place within the city, then considering the description, might the objective be to find the last work left by the sculptor before his death?”
He speculated privately.
“Brain work suits
best!”
Unfortunately, the Abandoned Capital didn’t have the breakthrough materials Lu Ban needed; if he chose this task, he would just be there to farm points.
The Abandoned Capital was obviously not a safe place, especially the ard gangs could be very dangerous. What could Lu Ban, a common law-abiding citizen, do against them?
He turned his gaze to the second picture.
This image was painted on stone, using natural minerals and plant dyes, full of a raw, wild feel. The texts outlined scenes of human hunting, except the prey depicted with six legs was particularly fearso.
Lu Ban saw that the na of this task was [Hunting Instinct].
