I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 345 - 218: Slipping Up

Li Xiang watched helplessly as the car he was sitting in sped forward uncontrollably. In the end, the steering wheel was locked, and they could only watch as their car crashed head-on into a truck, resulting in instant destruction and death.

The surroundings gradually faded and returned to the Virtual Space.

[Ding, mission failed. You still have one free restart opportunity today. Do you wish to restart?]

Li Xiang didn’t rush to restart. Instead, he recalled the accident just now, feeling that something was off.

Why did a perfectly fine car become uncontrollable?

And coincidentally, there was no problem when they left, but after coming back, the car malfunctioned.

Could it be that someone tampered with the car they were in?

This was the only explanation for now.

The system instance had introduced a highly intelligent world where cars were undoubtedly intelligent. For a hacker, controlling their car would be child’s play.

If they can control even a magnetic levitation artificial heart, he doesn’t believe they can’t control their car.

It seems that once he re-enters the game, he’ll have to be very careful with all smart devices around him because he never knows when they might cost him his life.

Learning a lesson from this, Li Xiang never thought that such a day would come when he could be brought down by someone.

But now, thinking back, he still felt a bit scared. The game could be restarted, but what about in real life?

If the same situation occurred in reality as in the game, would he also have his life ended by machinery?

"No, I need to learn Computer Technology too."

The future belongs to computers, and if he doesn’t learn, he’ll fall behind.

He hopes this instance will teach him Computer Technology.

But considering the system’s usual patterns, it’s not impossible.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang decided to start a new game.

"Begin～"

The scenery around gradually filled in, and the instance began.

"Captain Li, Captain Li, Renmin Hospital called, saying there’s a disturbance by a patient in Y. It seems the patient died in the hospital, and the situation is somewhat complicated. You should go take a look."

Li Xiang grabbed his coat, put it on, and went to the parking lot with Jiang Fei to get the car: "On my way."

He followed Jiang Fei to the hospital. Li Xiang was familiar with this plot and just needed to complete it step by step.

The real unexpected event would occur when heading to the Zhao Family villa.

This game had an unreasonable design in that there was no save option; every failure required starting over.

"Captain Li, this is the home of the chairman of the Zhao Group. This is the best location in the city. Only the wealthy or powerful can live here, and only the Zhao Group could afford houses here."

"I don’t need to know these details. Jiang Fei, where’s your body camera? Hand it over."

"Captain Li, why do you need that?"

"Why ask so many questions? Just give it to me when I ask."

After getting the body camera from him, Li Xiang turned it on, adjusted the angle, and placed it in the car, covering it with some miscellaneous items.

"Captain Li, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, just a precaution."

After ensuring everything was correct, Li Xiang took Jiang Fei inside the Zhao Family house, with the procedure going as usual.

After understanding the situation with Mrs. Zhao, he prepared to leave. At this point, he was very curious about who was tampering with his car.

Back in the car, Li Xiang eagerly took out the body camera to watch.

"Captain Li, what are you looking at? What do you want to record?"

"You’ll find out soon enough."

Li Xiang pulled up the video, and soon, the footage appeared.

The scene showed the maid who had just received them, accompanied by a person in a black suit and sunglasses, only a rough outline visible.

"Captain Li, there’s definitely something going on."

At this moment, Jiang Fei also noticed something was amiss: "How did you know someone would come over?"

No kidding, I’ve been screwed over before.

Li Xiang inwardly complained but outwardly played it cool: "Keep watching."

The maid pointed at Li Xiang’s car and then hurriedly left.

No wonder she had left under the pretense of making tea earlier; she was actually bringing someone to identify their car.

Subsequently, the man in black held an unknown device, pointed it at their car, and pressed a button. Surprisingly, their car unlocked automatically. The man opened the car door, dismantled the front console, exposing the car’s computer, installed a pre-prepared device inside, then quickly restored it to its original state. After a quick glance to ensure no one was around, he left gracefully.

"He... He tampered with our car. I have to go find them."

Seeing this, Jiang Fei was shocked. He never thought anyone from the Zhao Family would dare to mess with their car.

"Don’t be impulsive. Think it over carefully. Since we know the maid, we’ll investigate her thoroughly later, and she won’t resist."

Li Xiang stopped him. What good would it do to confront them now?

Better to seize the opportunity.

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."

Afterward, they got in the car and removed the mysterious device installed earlier.

"What is this?"

"It seems to be some kind of control device. Let’s bring it back to the tech department."

This time, nothing unexpected happened during their drive back.

After returning, they brought the device they removed from the car to the tech department.

Soon, they confirmed that it contained a virus. Once connected to the car’s computer, it would infect the system, causing the vehicle to be uncontrollable by the driver.
