Let them offer their loyalty!

Chapter 66 Harvest - Memory Fragment (4k words)

Hearing the scream that pierced the entire room, Qiu Tu groggily woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked over at Shen Lingshuang.

Then he saw Shen Lingshuang hugging the blanket, shrinking at the edge of the bed, staring at him in horror.

Qiu Tu yawned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lingshuang glared at Qiu Tu, "How did you end up in bed with me?"

Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then innocently pointed around his cramped home, "Where else? There's only one bed here, and the sofa is so small, I can't sleep on the floor, can I?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang stared blankly for a moment, then snorted and turned her head aside, "Well, you brought this on yourself, don't expect me to take responsibility for you!"

After saying that, she pulled her pants and walked away.

Qiu Tu: ??

Now it was Qiu Tu's turn to be stunned.

Wait a minute, did he get up wrong? Why didn't things feel like how he imagined?

Thinking along these lines, he paused and then lifted the blanket to check; his clothes were intact with no signs of being tampered with.

He looked up again at Shen Lingshuang, who was heading to the living room. The girl's ears were a bit red, and her complexion seemed unnatural.

Qiu Tu... understood.

She really is a tsundere, isn't she? Her mouth is definitely tough.

But... maybe I should tell her that the era of being a tsundere has passed?

...

After silently mocking the situation for a while in his mind, Qiu Tu lay back in bed and realized he couldn't fall asleep again.

Instead of trying to get some more sleep, he decided to check his gains from the game last night.

He called up the panel of the "Loyalty Game" and the first thing that caught Qiu Tu's eye was a "Game Over" screen.

In the screen, Ah-Tai's pixel figure was holding a tiny hammer, with hands on his hips, laughing uproariously towards the sky. Meanwhile, Wang Xi's pixel figure sat on the ground with a swollen nose and bruised face, crying while clutching his head.

Along with this image, a package gleaming with golden light appeared in the middle of the screen.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu knew last night's game was likely won by Ah-Tai, and that package must be the reward he had earned.

With this thought, Qiu Tu didn't delay and mentally clicked on the package.

The next second, several prompts appeared before him.

[Victory in Loyalty Game, reward earned.]

[Wang Xi Loyalty +5]

[Wang Xi Memory Fragment (Short) +1]

After reading the game prompts, Qiu Tu's eyes brightened slightly, feeling the rewards were quite good.

Not only had he gained some loyalty, but he also obtained a memory fragment.

If this memory fragment showed the process of Wang Xi's murder, then Qiu Tu felt he could close the case now.

Thinking this, he tried clicking on the [Memory Fragment] to see what was inside.

As he clicked, the next second, Qiu Tu felt a darkness before his eyes, and then he seemed to appear in a small room.

In the room was a stranger, dressed in a black suit, with bright red-dyed hair, wearing a clown mask.

The stranger was holding a shotgun, cleaning it.

After cleaning it, he tossed the shotgun to "Qiu Tu," then picked up another shotgun, grinned at "Qiu Tu" and said,

"Tomorrow, we'll rob the Pharmacy. The plan is...you take care of the clerks and customers inside."

"I'll handle the security guard and the responding agents."

The scene went black again after this. When Qiu Tu came back to his senses, he found himself back in bed.

Qiu Tu sat on the bed, stunned for a while, then in his mind a myriad of expletives stampeded!

Damn! The task force I'm in really is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

Out of four well-known members, one is a double-dealer, one a spy, and another... a hardcore criminal?!

Qiu Tu recalled the content that appeared in the scene just now, then quickly searched his original memory.

Soon, he found relevant information.

Half a month ago, an official Pharmacy on Xiafang Street had been robbed.

The robbers not only stole hundreds of Silver Yuan worth of medicines and herbs but also brutally killed 2 security guards, 3 clerks, 3 customers, as well as 6 temporary agents and 2 formal agents from the Investigation Bureau, totaling 16 people...

Because the incident was so serious, the Investigation Bureau received a severe reprimand from the Municipal Committee.

The Public Security Bureau, where Qin Zhengguang worked, also faced serious disciplinary action within the Investigation Bureau and was demanded to solve the case within a limited time.

But...in an era without surveillance cameras and DNA testing technology, cracking the case wasn't so easy.

Moreover, after the robbers killed all the staff and security personnel, they left, leading to a large crowd of onlookers rushing into the store to loot, nearly obliterating all evidence from the scene.

Therefore, to this day, the case remained unsolved.

To his surprise... this major case was actually pulled by Wang Xi, the demure and docile Pharmacist?

With this realization, Qiu Tu was somewhat astonished.

Indeed, you never know what your colleagues will do after work.

After silently mocking the situation for a while in his mind, Qiu Tu also quickly analyzed the information revealed by the memory fragment.

First, it confirmed the contrast in Wang Xi's identity: a hardcore criminal.

This identity proved that Wang Xi wasn't as plain and ordinary as he appeared, but rather someone on the fringes of darkness.

Secondly, Wang Xi seemed to belong to a small group or organization.

From the images in the memory, he was taking orders from a strange man wearing a clown mask, implying he wasn't the leader of that small group or organization.
