Chapter 98: Tempest: Reversing the Ending (4)
It can't attack NPCs, but it can affect NPCs in other ways, such as the previous female player in the red group, if she takes the box, the blue team will lose important clues. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"We also have to take the initiative," Zhao Yun discussed with Tang Tu.
Tang Tu nodded, "I agree, at least send someone to track the other party and grasp the progress of the other party's task." ”
Zhao Yun asked again, "Also, what do you think of our cooperation with the Huang Group?" "The NPC that the Yellow Group is responsible for protecting is FBI agent Norman, and on the surface, Norman wants to track down the truth of the case and save Sean, which is consistent with Ethan's interests.
However, Tang Tu hesitated for a moment and said, "For the yellow group, I'm a little entangled, if it's just to cooperate with NPCs, Norman and Ethan's goals are indeed the same, and they can trust each other, but with the addition of players, it's hard to say...
The Yellow Group's mission is to protect Norman, not to help Norman find out the truth, Norman is not the target of the murderer, and the issue that affects his life and death is the use of the ARI system. I've been wondering what to do to save Norman, and the only way to do that is to get Norman to give up using the ARI system. So, I think the Yellow team is the most difficult task to complete among the three groups of players.
How can I convince Norman to give up the ARI system? Norman must rely on the ARI system to solve the case, and if he succeeds, he will be promoted, and he will only rely more on ARI in the future. To get him to give up on ARI, he must fail and leave the FBI.
If there are players in the Yellow team who understand this, instead of helping us, they may frame us and prevent Norman from solving the case, and maybe secretly join forces with the Red team. ”
Zhao Yun was silent, and sighed after a while, "If you can, I really want to imprison Ethan and stay up until the end of the mission." But the player can't attack NPCs, and Ethan won't just stay there... Maybe we shouldn't have given Ethan a clue so he wouldn't be in a dangerous situation. ”
"Have you forgotten the psychiatrist? That is obviously a foreshadowing laid by the system, if Ethan does not investigate the truth, the police will find a psychiatrist sooner or later, and Ethan will become the first suspect at that time, even Ethan himself suspects that the murderer is himself, and it is certain that he will be found guilty and sentenced to death.
Moreover, if Ethan is locked up, with his mental state, once four days have passed and Sean's body is found, there is a ninety percent chance that he will commit suicide. ”
“... I forgot that there is such a possibility as suicide, it seems that we are going to find Sean before the police arrest Ethan, do you think Sean is still alive? Zhao Yun asked.
"It should be, otherwise the system doesn't need to toss so much, the previous bodies were all found four days after they disappeared, and these four days must be meaningful." Tang Tu said. As a doctor in the Department of Chinese, he has done research on speculative literature and criminal investigation literature, and he knows a little bit of relevant knowledge, of course, only at the theoretical level and the literary level.
Zhao Yun put forward a proposal to monitor the red and yellow groups in the task channel, and someone immediately responded, Tang Tu reminded everyone that the person in charge of monitoring had better have relevant skills, otherwise they would die in vain. After some discussion, there were two teams in charge of this mission, both of which had Bounty Hunter players.
Bounty Hunters, along with Assassins, are one of the classes available to players in Redeemer, and they are better at tracking and tracking down the truth than Assassins.
Tang Tu put forward another suggestion, because there are many players in this mission, how to quickly distinguish players in the same group? Tang Tu proposed the use of "passwords".
When a player encounters a stranger, he or she can immediately enter a "password" in the mission channel, and if the opponent cannot say the "password" at the first time, the opponent can be judged to be a hostile player.
Returning to the plot, Ethan has left the train station and checked into a motel. At Zhao Yun's suggestion, the players in the blue group dispersed and did not all stay in Ethan's room to prevent the players from other groups from taking advantage of the crowd to fish in troubled waters. Ethan only had three teams left around him, including Tang Tu's one.
In fact, Tang Tu's profession is suitable for going out and acting alone, but he has an eagle eye that can quickly distinguish between hostile players, and he must stay by Ethan's side to protect him.
Ethan sat in a chair in his hotel room and opened the box on the table, which contained a pistol, a cell phone, a few pieces of origami paper, a piece of brown paper, a parking ticket and a cell phone card.
There is a note on the vellum: Are you ready and have the courage to save your son? Go to Joe's warehouse, 4988 Roosevelt Ave., Lexington.
Tang Tu and the others stood beside Ethan, looking at him silently. Ethan inserted the mobile phone card into the mobile phone, the mobile phone was connected, and the video call began, because the call was real-time, so the video was also real-time.
Sean appears on the phone screen, he is locked in an underground water channel, and he can be reached through a well in the ground, because the water level in the underground water has risen due to the heavy rain, and the water line has reached his waist, Sean is standing in the water and shouting for help.
"Help... Daddy, where are you? It's so cold here..."
"Sean!" Ethan hugged his head and cried.
The video flashed away, and a few lines appeared on the screen: "How much do you want to save your loved ones?" Five folded patterns, each representing a test, each test will provide a letter, and each letter will reveal address information. ”
"Oh my God, Sean, wait for me, I'll get you out!" Ethan wiped his face, put his phone in his pocket, pinned the pistol to his waist, put the brown paper and origami back in the box, picked up the parking ticket and ran out.
Zhao Yun sent a message on the mission channel, and the blue group players who were guarding outside and on the streets began to link, and everyone converged towards the parking lot.
"What about the box?" The donut girl asked, pointing to the box that Ethan had left on the table.
"Help him hold it, maybe it will be useful later." Zhao Yun said.
So the donut girl picked up the box, and the other three girls immediately became nervous, surrounded the doughnut in the middle, and glanced around, as if to prevent others from grabbing it.
The parking lot was close to the motel, and around the corner, Ethan didn't drive and ran straight over.
A mechanic was busy under the car, and Ethan walked over to stop him and showed him the ticket, "I'll come... Drove away my car, but I forgot where I parked it. ”
The mechanic took the ticket and looked at it, with a meaningful expression, "Hey, you're such a patient guest, the car has been here for two years, and we've been following your original message, and we've been driving out for a walk every month to check if the tires and batteries are working, so the car is still working." ”
The repairman took out the car keys and gave them to Ethan, "The car is on the third basement floor, and the elevator is at the end of the parking lot. ”
Ethan took the key and thanked him, and said to himself as he walked to the elevator, "Is there any special significance to the car being left here for two years?" ”
