Chapter 100: Tempest: Reversal of the Ending (6)
“... Many of the previous victims' fathers were missing, and they must have received the box, and I think they must have been killed, but the police never found their bodies. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The murderer deliberately left clues, which seem to be designed against fathers, and he tortured these fathers and killed them, such as this passage, there must be a trap in it. I don't think we can do what the killer designed us to do and be more flexible with our strengths. Tang Tu said.
"What do you suggest?" Donut girl asked.
"This passage looks relatively old, it must have been left from the past, and we have a large number of people, so we can mobilize to find the drawings of this old power plant, and from the drawings we can analyze where this passage can lead." Tang Tu said.
"But what if there are no drawings for the power plant here?" Yang Yang asked.
"I think we can spread out a little more, for example, we can send people to the city library to check the map, which has the most complete information, which will also help us to progress in the next mission." Tang Tu said.
"Agree to send someone to the library, but it will take time, and we can't waste time here," said the donut girl, "If you don't want Ethan to be in danger, then the player will go first." ”
Everyone agrees with the donut girl's proposal, and some players volunteer to be brave, and finally choose three players to enter the tunnel.
Tang Tu wiped his forehead, as if there was sweat there. Tang Tu was selfish when he said so many things this time, because he had a slight claustrophobia, and he didn't want to climb the passage but didn't want to be seen through by everyone, so he was verbose for so long.
When Tang Tu's mother died unexpectedly, he stayed at home alone, looking at the empty room, he felt inexplicably scared, and since then he has found himself a little claustrophobic. In order to avoid taking the elevator, he moved from his original residence to his current cottage.
Someone patted Tang Tu on the shoulder, he looked back and saw that it was Yang Yang, Yang Yang asked him with his eyes, he shook his head lightly to indicate that he was fine.
Although Tang Tu put forward these suggestions in order to shirk it, his thinking was not wrong. So the players acted separately, Zhao Yun led people to guard the entrance of the passage and waited for the news of the players who entered, Tang Tu led people to search the factory to find drawings, and another group of people went to the library.
Players entering the passage are updated in real time, and the killer has set a trap inside, first a passage covered with glass shards, then an even narrower drop slide, and finally they fall into a high-voltage transformer room.
At the same time, Tang Tu took several players to the office of the old factory and found an old factory layout map. The passage was found on the floor plan, and the transformer room to which it was connected.
A group of players surrounded Ethan to the door of the transformer room, Tang Tu used the lockpicking skill to open the door, and the three players were already waiting inside.
There are five rows of high-voltage transformers in the room, flickering from time to time, a butterfly is painted on the wall behind them, and a table is placed under the wall, on which is a mobile phone card. It is clear that the killer designed Ethan to get the SIM card through the transformer.
There is an electric switch on the wall of the doorway, but it reads: "Do not touch, beware of fire". This is a warning from the system, if the power switch is turned off and the transformer is passed, a fire will be caused by excessive voltage changes at the moment of power failure, or a fire will break out at the moment when the power switch is re-opened.
So the question is, should you risk walking through a sparkling transformer, or should you choose a way that a power outage could start a fire?
According to previous experience, no matter which way you choose, you have to get the clues by Ethan himself, the first way is very dangerous for Ethan personally, and the second way is too uncertain.
The players were hesitating, even Tang Tu didn't dare to take the risk, but Ethan stood up himself, "Thank you for doing so much for me, now is the time for me to do something, for Sean..."
Tang Tu looked at Ethan's back, took out a "blessing" and threw it on him, and other players also took out various buff status cards for Ethan to add.
In an instant, Ethan's body was shrouded in colorful light, and he smiled at everyone, bending down and passing through the middle of the high-voltage line...
Living up to expectations, Ethan gets his phone card, a new live video proves that Sean is still alive, and more clues to the address appear on the screen: "_52________R___E_ELT____".
The message is sent to the mission channel, and the players who have just arrived at the city library begin to look for addresses with these numbers and letters, and everyone is also divided into labor, with a few people searching through the library's computer and a few people looking up through the printed map.
Ethan's physical condition is very bad, especially every time he experiences mental stress, he has to sleep for a short time, and when he is outside, he has to go back to the motel to rest, so the player army returns to the hotel.
When everyone sent Ethan back to the hotel, Tang Tu and Yang Yang went to the theater café.
The game has been going on for a while, and Tang Tu thinks that the few foreshadowings planted by the system are almost time to break out. Players can't attack NPCs, but fighting between NPCs and NPCs is not forbidden, and Tang Tu's biggest concern is the police's attitude towards Ethan.
As Tang Tu envisioned, there were a lot of police officers drinking coffee in the theater café, and they would talk about origami killers from time to time.
The store manager reported several pieces of news to Tang Tu: the police arrested several suspects, but finally had to release them because there was no evidence; During the arrest, a suspect violently resisted, and the police shot him dead, but it was later proved that the suspect was not the murderer, and the shooting was fired by FBI agent Norman, who was reprimanded by the news media; The police made a preliminary profile of the origami killer, believing that the killer was a white male, between the ages of thirty and forty-five.
At this time, the team responsible for tracking the FBI agent Norman sent a message: "Ethan's ex-wife went to the police station to report the crime..."
In order to spy on Norman, two players from this squad entered the police station through a vent in the police station, one lying in the vent above the hall and the other in the vent in Norman's office, and only then did they get first-hand information about the police station.
In the hall of the police station, Ethan's ex-wife, Grace, sat at the table of Deputy Captain Blake, who was recording a confession while Norman stood and listened.
Grace said, "... On a rainy night a few months ago, Ethan suddenly appeared at home, drenched in a state of about three o'clock in the morning, and this happened several times and became more and more frequent.
At that time, I asked him where he went, but he said he didn't remember and was incoherent ... His eyes seemed strange, as if he had changed into a different person... What worries me even more is that the next day I'll hear reports of another origami murder incident..."
