Life Dungeon Game

The old security door was slowly pushed open, but there was no response from inside.

He Ao waited a moment, making sure there was no sound, before slowly extending one leg, then his body, and finally his head.

Nothing happens.

He frowned, then slowly walked into the house.

boom--

The sound of the window being flung open came suddenly.

He Ao immediately chased after him, but when he reached the window, all he could see was a figure rapidly disappearing in a hang glider.

Foldable smart hang gliders are not cheap. The FBI's combat uniforms are equipped with this type of hang glider, which can be deployed directly in an emergency for high-altitude escape.

Unfortunately, Reggie wasn't good with firearms and didn't have any at home, otherwise Heo could have tried to leave something on that guy.

In the brief moment that He Ao watched, the figure holding the paraglider had already turned into a small dot and disappeared among the skyscrapers.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and turned on the room light.

His apartment is a duplex, divided into two floors. The upper floor has a bed, and the lower floor has a small living room, kitchen, and bathroom.

The entire small living room was in complete disarray, with all the cabinets, drawers, and lids open.

He Ao went upstairs and found that his bed had also been turned upside down and was in a mess.

He checked the smart devices and valuables in the room, and nothing was missing.

Clearly, the other party wasn't there to steal anything, but rather to look for something else. Ordinary thieves couldn't afford such an expensive folding paraglider.

He Ao carefully inspected the entire room again, and then he found a tiny, dark camera on the cabinet near the door.

The camera is pointed directly at the door, so it can clearly record the appearance of the person entering.

He picked up the camera and examined it closely. This camera was a cheap miniature camera produced by the Tervina Communications Group.

These cameras sell well in the underground black market of Dawn City, not only because they are cheap, but also because their systems are easy to hack and can be modified into anonymous, untraceable 'black cameras'.

Clearly, this camera is a 'black camera' produced on the underground black market.

He Ao crushed the camera, his gaze narrowing slightly.

He began to review the whole incident. The intruders were equipped with advanced technology and did not take any valuables, proving that they were not short of money but had come for something special.

In a typical burglary, the door is locked after entering the house. This gives the homeowner a warning when they return and allows the intruder time to hide or escape.

The door was ajar, which suggests only one possibility: the intruder wanted to lure someone else into the room.

This is also the reason for He Ao's series of cautious actions; he was worried that the intruder would be waiting at the door to attack him.

However, the intruders did not attack the person who opened the door; instead, they placed a camera at the entrance.

The camera's function is simple: to record the scene and capture the appearance of the person opening the door.

But if he wanted to record what Regis looked like, there was no need.

Since Regis is the owner of the house, he will definitely come home. By simply waiting nearby for a few days or renting a house next door, it is not difficult to determine who the owner of the house is. This is not difficult for the intruder to demonstrate their wealth.

What if he was waiting for someone to 'visit' Rijit instead of Rijit?

When guests arrive at the host's door and find it slightly ajar, knocking, pushing it open, and entering with some hesitation are all normal actions.

At that point, the camera will record the 'visitor's' face, allowing the intruder, who is observing from the other side, to take further action.

When He Ao got to this point, his thinking got stuck because he searched through all of Reggie's memories but couldn't find a single 'guest' who matched this condition.

Regis was so engrossed in martial arts that he had almost no friends, and none of his few friends knew where he lived.

In other words, the 'visitor' does not exist at the beginning of the logic.

Regis will never have any visitors.

The reasoning for this problem couldn't continue, so He Ao pulled himself back to think about the significance behind it.

It appears that Reggie has gotten involved in something she shouldn't have, and may even have taken something she shouldn't have.

He recalled Reggie's most recent memories. Until he met that machine apprentice, Reggie's life had been regular and stable. He worked in the library, talked with visitors, and practiced martial arts in his spare time.

I did not receive any items, not even online orders.

Old people generally have few desires, and Rijette had no wife or children; his only hobby was martial arts.

The situation has become interesting.

He Ao glanced at his bracelet; the time was 9:17 PM.

In the past, Reggie would have been home by this time. The time she encountered the thugs three days ago was because she was a volunteer who had taken leave and was organizing the bookshelves too late. Most of the time, Reggie would have been home by this time.

Did the other party break into the room at this time because they were confident they wouldn't encounter the room's owner?

Or is it because the other party scouted the place for a long time and confirmed that the owner had not returned today?

Or perhaps, you feel that the room's owner will never return?

Thoughts began to surface in He Ao's mind, these clues like tangled threads, intertwined with each other.

He Ao took a deep breath, suppressing his doubts.

He locked the door, tidied up all his belongings, and then contacted the library manager to confirm that he could go to work the next day.

When all clues get stuck at a crucial point, exploring new maps to find new clues is an excellent approach.

-

The next morning, He Ao changed into suitable clothes, picked up the cane leaning against the bed, tucked a strand of hair into the crack of the door, and went to work at the library.

When He Ao arrived at the library, leaning on his cane and limping, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

The library opens at nine o'clock, but He Ao needs to go inside for a security check first, do a quick cleaning of the library lobby, and check if there are any books that weren't organized yesterday, so he needs to arrive early.

He Ao did these things very quickly, and by the time he finished everything, it was exactly 8:30. According to Rijette's habit, he should go practice martial arts for a while at this time.

However, He Ao sat down at the library's computer, opened the image search, and uploaded an image that looked like hieroglyphics.

That was his copy of the first character from that 'Little Book of Martial Arts'.

The next chapter is in the morning, I can't stay up any longer, goodnight. Please add to your favorites, follow the story, give me monthly tickets, and recommend!

Chapter 67 Guiding Qi into the Body (Please read, add to your favorites, and vote with monthly tickets)

In fact, He Ao also used his bracelet to search for the text online last night, but like the talent sequence, no search results were displayed.

The dungeon world appears to be open and transparent with advanced networks, but once certain secrets are involved, they seem to be deliberately erased, leaving no trace.

That's why He Ao tried to see if he could find any relevant clues in the library.

The library in Chenxi City has two collections: electronic books and printed books.

The e-books are books whose copyrights have been purchased by the library. Citizens with library cards can log in to the official website of Chenxi City Library to borrow these books online.

Paper books are physical books stored inside the library. Citizens must bring their library cards to the library to borrow or view them. The paper books in the Chenxi City Library are mostly reprinted classic works or theoretical books by certain masters.

However, the Dawn City Library has existed since the founding of Dawn City and has a history of hundreds of years. Although the library has been moved several times, there are still some strange old books mixed in, such as the Body Tempering Technique that Regit found.

On the e-book interface, readers can directly search the contents of books to find the books they want.

The physical book interface only allows users to search for the book title to find the book they want.

He Ao first searched the e-book page, hoping to find e-books containing this 'text', but the search results were all a bunch of drawing books or some physics and chemistry drawing books. He couldn't find a single book about this kind of text.

He eventually exited the e-books page and entered the print book page. The print book search does not support images; it requires the book title or keywords.

He Ao thought for a moment and then typed 'text' into the keyword box.

Suddenly, thousands of books with the word 'text' in their titles popped up.

······

Since He Ao couldn't possibly search through them one by one, he began to think about which books might contain the hieroglyphic characters in the small book.

Pictographs are the earliest form of writing used by humankind.

The origin of writing lies in the depiction of all things in the world, starting with the concrete and then moving to the abstract.

For example, ancient people used simple strokes to depict the appearance of an elephant, and then fixed a picture to refer to the elephant. This was the earliest form of writing. Then, this character evolved into the character '象' (xiàng, elephant).

This is how pictographic writing evolved into ideographic writing, where the characters themselves carry meaning.

People who use pictographic writing systems are either ancient ancestors or have a long history, and their civilization has never been interrupted since the time of their ancestors, which is why their writing system has evolved from pictographs step by step.

The Federation in the copy world uses a phonetic script, which only pronounces words and has no specific meaning, completely different from the pictographic ideographic script in the small book.

There are two possibilities: either the little book comes from the ancestors of the Federation and is an ancient product, or the little book comes from somewhere else in this world.

He Aosi

I took a short while.

Then he added a new keyword, 'Former Federation', next to the keyword 'Text'.

The original Federation existed for a longer period and covered a wider area, so perhaps relevant books can be found there.

After this selection process, only five books remained on the catalog page, with very few books researching the original Federation script.

Of these five books, four are about the current Federation's writing system during the original Federation period. The remaining book has various languages ​​printed on its cover, including some similar to the writing on the small book.

The book is titled "Reconstruction of Texts from Various Districts of the Former Federal Republic".

"7th Floor, Section I, I-725"

He Ao glanced at the number on the back of the book, quickly got up, and walked into the elevator.

He quickly found the book "Reconstruction of Texts from Various Districts of the Former Federation". The book was hidden in the corner of the bookshelf, the pages were yellowed, and it seemed that it had been there for a long time without anyone touching it.

He took the book and returned to the first floor. It was exactly nine o'clock, so he put the book on the front desk and opened the library door.

drop--

He had just opened the door and returned to the front desk when he heard a crisp card swipe sound; someone had swiped their card to enter the Chenxi City Library.

He looked up and saw a woman with beautiful black hair, dressed in a neat shirt and suit, walking into the library.

She was slender and tall with delicate skin. Her overall figure was smaller than that of other women in Chenxi City that He Ao had seen, but she was still over 1.7 meters tall, and her face was more delicate.
