Chapter 233 233. Traitor

To put it simply, [borrowing money] is not so much an anomaly as it is an extraordinary behavior.

From a principle point of view, [Borrowing Money] is to transfer one's own pollution to others by giving money to others. The main degree of harm depends on the pollution of the person who uses it, and the number of people who receive [Borrowing Money].

According to NHI's standards, how harmful an abnormality is does not only depend on the severity of the pollution.

Some anomalies are seriously polluted, but the depth is very high, which is extremely dangerous for investigators who can be interfered with, but has no impact on ordinary people at all.

Some abnormal pollution is not deep and can float in shallow layers, making it easy for ordinary people to suffer.

[Borrowing money] is an anomaly that can easily affect ordinary people.

Moreover, due to its special nature, it can be known that once [Borrowing Money] appears, there will definitely be God's Chosen Ones wandering around.

[Du Ruo]: And there is a high probability that he was a former official investigator.

The phone vibrated and Qiao Mu saw Du Ruo's message.

[Du Ruo]: Because the implementation method of [Borrowing Money] itself is not public, only investigators who have access to internal documents are most likely to know.

[Qiao Mu]: Then why do they use these?

Qiao Mu immediately typed and asked.

[Du Ruo]: Because the pollution is too deep, I want to go back to my original life.

I don’t know why, but although Du Ruo’s words are cold and cool, they still feel a bit sad.

[Du Ruo]: There are no rules for being selected as the Chosen One. Some people just want to survive, and some are not good-natured. Only half of them are willing to work as investigators in various institutions, and many of them are forced to join. You can Go to the database and search the wanted lists of various agencies.

[Qiao Mu]: Oh!

Qiao Mu immediately went to the database to search.

There are quite a few discoveries.

There are currently more than 4,000 registered Chosen Ones, but less than 2,000 investigators, and investigators defect every year.

As we all know, the Chosen Ones appear irregularly. Just like in the novel, many people suddenly obtain the system and other things without making too much publicity, and will only quietly enjoy the benefits. Many of them died directly in the novice mission. , so there may actually be many more Chosen Ones appearing every year than in official statistics.

As for what happens after becoming the Chosen One, some people hide in the city, complete tasks again and again, and use their extraordinary power to obtain benefits. As long as they are not too excessive, investigators may not be able to discover them.

Some people were exposed directly after the novice mission and were found by nearby investigators. After that, some people died or escaped while fighting the official organization, while others joined the official organization.

That's what happened to Qiao Mu.

For this reason, everyone has different reasons for joining official organizations and becoming investigators.

Some people just follow the maximization of interests, some succumb to other powerful divine choices, and some simply have an official status and continue to do their own things.

But after all, these official organizations are relatively decent organizations with many rules and regulations. It is naturally not allowed to use the extraordinary power of the Chosen One to control and enslave the public.

The Chosen One himself will be accompanied by tasks, the pollution will deepen, and he will gradually sink into the abyss.

According to NHI's regulations, investigators cannot pass on their own pollution to ordinary people.

To use another metaphor, all the chosen ones are runners running towards the end of destruction. Some are unwilling to move forward, and some want to turn back, but NHI does not allow everyone to go back.

"There's a bit of faith in it."

Qiao Mu commented.

Of course, this is not just about idealistic things such as belief. Anyone who has received education from official institutions will know the chain reaction of pollution and know that if the entire civilization is allowed to be polluted, the whole world will eventually be destroyed.

This is similar to protecting the environment. Some people are thinking about future generations and the millennium plan, while others are only looking at their own eyes and just discharging polluted sewage into the sea.

Therefore, the [life loan money] was probably obtained by an escaped investigator, so Qiao Mu must be careful.

"Better find this guy."

Qiao Mu looked at the red thread extending from the red envelope into the crowd. The thread was composed of words in his field of vision and stretched into the distance.

He gave chase.

At this point, there were not many people on the street next to the university. Qiao Mu followed the red thread forward, crossed the corner, and found that the line extended into a residential area.

This is a new community with basically elevator rooms. There are many people renting houses, and there are also some college students who do not live in dormitories renting houses here.

Qiao Mu followed the four stars and came to room 701 on the seventh floor of a building.

He knocked on the door.

No response.

[She doesn’t want to open the door, give up. Unless you forcefully pick the lock, don’t expect to see her today! 】

Qiao Mu frowned slightly and a crowbar materialized in his hand.

Tried it, but couldn't pry it open.

After all, this is a security door. If an ordinary crowbar can open it, then that's okay.

After thinking about it, Qiao Mu's shadow began to extend and slipped under the door.

No matter how tight the door is, there will always be cracks.

But Qiao Mu didn't rush to let Ah Hui out, but looked inside the house through the eyes of the ghost bride in the shadow.

This is a typical rental house. The decoration inside is very simple, and there is not much atmosphere of life. Only the old aunt who just gave Qiao Mu a red envelope is sitting on a chair, putting her hands on her legs awkwardly, glancing at her from time to time. The door looked quite nervous.

"Is this the Chosen One?"

Qiao Mu felt that this old aunt did not look like the chosen one who would do such a thing. He thought for a while, and first walked to the stairwell, ready to run away at any time. At the same time, extending to the shadow in the room, Ah Hui suddenly stood up.

"ah!"

The old aunt screamed, stood up in fear, and kept retreating.

"Spare your life, spare your life, I don't know anything, I'm just helping people, I don't know anything!"

The old aunt begged for mercy again and again.

"Who asked you to do it?"

Ah Hui asked.

"Yes, it's a man. He said he just wants me to give this red envelope to a random college student. He's wearing a mask and glasses. I don't recognize him!"

The old aunt stumbled and said.

"Is this where he lives?"

Ah Hui continued to ask.

"Yes, yes, he told me to come back here after delivering the goods and give me some money."

In the distance, Qiao Mu touched his chin.

It seems that this person's counter-investigation ability is quite strong. If this old aunt really stuffed the red envelope into the hands of an ordinary college student, no one would be able to discover it.

"never mind."

Ah Hui disappeared into the shadows with a whoosh.

After a while, the old aunt looked around and touched her pocket.

There were several hundred dollars in it, which she had secretly taken out from the red envelope she had given to Qiao Mu before.

In her opinion, these red envelopes are all given to others anyway. It's okay to take a few more for herself, and no one will know.

However, where the old aunt didn't notice, the red thread had already wrapped around her.
