It's this dream again!!

Standing on the barren and silent earth again, looking at the huge rift in front of him, fear quickly spread to every pore of his body.

Kurobuchi knew very well that he was dreaming, and he had the same dream every year on his birthday. And as I get older, my dreams become clearer.

The feet are full of dark brown stones, and they are strangely craggy!

At the moment, they were trembling at a strange frequency. To be precise, the direction of the tremors of these stones is one circle after another, and the center of the circle is the black abyss.

Overhead, there was a thick gray haze, hanging upside down from the depths of the clouds like chrysalis struggling to hatch, which was even more strange and depressing.

The surrounding space is filled with invisible pressure, not wind!

No matter where Kurobuchi stood, these invisible pressures were like the huge sea pressure during diving, desperately squeezing every inch of his body.

In my ears were whispers and smirks that were near and far away, bright and dark, clear and faint. There was a tearing, burning, bone-piercing pain on the body.

It was as if something wanted to get into his body! Dig into the soul through the cracks of his shell and devour him.

He was like a lonely boat in a storm, miserable, insignificant, and powerless.

Come on, come to me.

Come on, be with me!

In the depths of his soul, it seemed that a voice had been calling him closer to the abyss ahead.

The black abyss lifted his feet with difficulty, moving towards the rift in the distant earth.

Last time I only walked here!!

A pile of rubble appeared at the foot of the abyss, the same position he had reached in his last dream, where he could no longer move forward.

Every year he dreams, he places a special symbol with a stone in the final position.

This year's figure is made up of 24 stones of similar shapes in uniform and increasing size, and if you look closely, you can see that they resemble some kind of arc, diverging from the center in a strange pattern, much like the shell of some kind of conch, quietly half-submerged in the dark brown soil, with no signs of being moved or destroyed.

Will you be able to go to the abyss this time???

Kurobuchi endured the pain and continued to move forward. Abyssal dreams are clearer!

Huge cracks tore through the earth, and the black wind swept up countless rubble and ruins from the bottom of the abyss, with a strong bloody aura, mixed with bursts of low roars, ghosts and wolves, and terrifying.

The abyss, like an indifferent and merciless eye, stares at this small uninvited guest.

Fear, helplessness, sadness, despair, death, silence.

Endless negative emotions poured in, and he wanted to escape!!

An invisible force towered in front of him like a huge wall, blocking his escape. Outside of his skin, an invisible force pulled him into the abyss.

That force is irresistible!

Hei Yuan struggled desperately, screaming frantically, but there was nothing he could do.

He was getting closer and closer to the abyss, getting closer and closer, and finally, the cliff under him cracked, and he fell into the abyss.

......

Yes!!!

Kurobuchi sat up from the bed suddenly, sweating profusely, his chest heaving violently, his pajamas already soaked with sweat and clinging tightly to his muscular body. The headache is splitting, and the palpitations in the dream have not subsided. He slowly adjusted his breathing, gradually calming down the negative emotions caused by the nightmare.

"Why do I have the same dream every year on my birthday?"

Thinking again, again there is no answer.

......

......

"One of the passengers died on the train, it was Mr. Ratchet." The gentleman with a mustache, a fat body, and meticulously dressed said in a deep voice. At this moment, he was standing at the front of a luxury car, tilting his head slightly, and looking at the passengers with different expressions sitting in the entire dining car with a serious expression.

There were a few exclamations in the carriage, and a well-dressed beautiful young woman covered her lips lightly, her face was full of shock, her white slender hand crossed her chest, and whispered, "God bless Mr. Raychet." ”

"Looks like they got their way." A short man sitting at the table in front of the woman spoke. His face was a little pale, and although there was surprise in his tone, he didn't see any surprise, and then the corners of his mouth suffocated, but there was some understanding.

The bearded gentleman turned his gaze to him and asked, "Then you think he was murdered?" ”

The short man suddenly became nervous and stammered, "No, no, I don't think so, Mr. Ratchet is in good health, but he has offended a lot of people." I think maybe ......"

In the carriage, already a passenger realized the development of the situation and exclaimed again: "Murder? It's happening right here with us! ”

The bearded gentleman continued: "We can't go anywhere, Mr. Booker has commissioned me to investigate the case and find the real culprit. ”

At the end of the carriage, an elderly gentleman stared at the bearded gentleman who walked towards him and examined every passenger in the carriage with sharp eyes, and asked with doubt, "Why you?" ”

The bearded gentleman slowly walked back to the front of the dining cart, turned to look at them, and said solemnly: "Because I am Hercule Poirot, probably the greatest detective in the world, I will ask each of you to ask each one of you individually." If this is murder, there must be a murderer," Poirot paused, feeling that the air had frozen a lot, staring at the passengers from all over the world in the carriage, and continued in an emotionless tone, "And the murderer is among you." ”

......

The cutscene ends, and Kurobuchi uses the mouse to operate. He is a game anchor, broadcast live from 2 to 6 p.m. every day, and the main content of the live broadcast is exploration and suspense games.

This classic detective adventure puzzle game is called "Detective Poirot" and is based on the story written by the famous detective novelist Agatha. The game has been released for a full decade and consists of 52 different stories, and this scene is based on the most famous Murder on the Orient Express.

18th time!!

...

"The anchor changes the game, I'm tired of watching it."

"+1 for changing games."

“+1”

“+1”

“+1”

...

The popularity of the live broadcast room is not high, and the daily traffic is maintained at about 50,000. At this moment, the streamer Kurobuchi began to play the game for the 18th time. Aquarists have completely lost their patience and sense of novelty.

Murder on the Orient Express is a well-known detective story.

People who love decryption, detective novels, and games are sure to dabble in everything related to this novel and have even played various spin-off games. Detective games are different from other action, survival, and strategy games, with a relatively single plot, and if you play in one scene repeatedly, you will quickly become visually tired and players will lose interest. Therefore, the only remaining hardcore aquarists in the live broadcast room began to coax and proposed that the anchor change the game.

...

"You've played this scene more than 10 times, why do you still play it. You're not bored, we're bored too. ”

"That's it, support the anchor to change the game deduction 1."

Then a +1 scrolled out of the barrage.

...

Kurobuchi ignored it, still staring intently at the screen.

"How can I get a 100-point rating? There must be something missing. "The long, bony fingers click the mouse rhythmically, the eyeballs move rapidly in the sockets, and the picture keeps jumping.

"Still not right." Hei Yuan's mind kept calculating and deducing, but there was no excessive expression on his face.

The 52 scenes in the Poirot series of games have an overall score after completion. The game is set up with three levels: beginner, master, and senior, and when a scene finds all the clues and props, and completes all the hidden plots, it will get the corresponding score, and the scene of "Murder on the Orient Express" only scored 98 points, and there is a difference of 2 points that has not been obtained.

Kurobuchi is a person who is a very perfectionist, stubborn and axial!

This 2-point difference has always been a hurdle in his heart.

At this time, the aquarists who still remained in the live broadcast room were all impressed by his perseverance and stubborn character. They quieted down, enjoying the same pleasure of pursuing ultimate perfection.

...

"Anchor, is there still a piece of clothing in the carriage just now that hasn't been searched?"

"It's not there, I've played, I've searched that place no less than 100 times. There wasn't any valuable information on that dress. ”

"yes, not there."

...

Aquarists have made moves, chatting freely about all kinds of strange strategies collected from which forum and which horn.

Soon, the game ended again, because the game was slowed down, and this time it was only rated 92.

Kurobuchi sat in front of the computer and began to sort out all the details in his head. His face was expressionless, not even a hint of emotional fluctuation. Fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, and inky eyes looked unusually misty and deep because they were deep in thought.

"Where the hell are the 2 points?" This question kept circling in his mind, and he unconsciously leaned back in his chair, unconsciously turned his body, turned to the bookshelf behind him, and his eyes fell on the bookshelves at random, sweeping back and forth among the countless bizarre figures.

Suddenly, an uncomfortable feeling suddenly appeared, and he frowned, got up from his chair, and stopped in front of the bookshelf full of figurines. He muttered, "The two figures are in the wrong place." Immediately, as if thinking of a certain possibility, the corners of his mouth unconsciously whispered and sighed with a rare soft color: "It's Ninth Grandpa again." ”

As soon as he reached over and was about to switch the positions of the two figures, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

"!! in the wrong order"

The first cutscene of Murder on the Orient Express takes place in a luxury dining car, which is used for the first class passengers of this locomotive to serve food and small gatherings. In addition to the semi-open kitchen at one end of the sleeper box, the other 3/4 of the dining car is divided equally by 8 sets of dining tables. In the final scene of the cutscene, Poirot returns to the kitchen bar and turns to look at all the passengers sitting at the table, and after the end of the scene, all players default to the two male travelers closest to the detective.

Kurobuchi realizes the problem and restarts the game.

19th time!!

Aquarists found out that the anchor had started a new round of games, and once again made a fuss.

...

"Isn't it the anchor, again? Abandon the pit and abandon the pit. ”

"I like the anchor's perseverance."

"I don't watch it, I have played this scene a few times, and the highest score is only 88, and the anchor's highest score of 98 is already standing in the clouds. There are a lot of guides on the Internet, and there is no higher rating than the anchor you, so give up. ”

"The anchor will play "ABC Murder" first, I haven't played that scene yet."

...

Aquarists, you say a word to me, and the live broadcast room suddenly became lively. Hei Yuan still ignored them, and quickly operated, and soon the classic scene of the first scene was played to the end.

I saw Hei Yuan operate the mouse and command Poirot to walk to the last set of tables and chairs in the dining car. There was only one traveler there, claiming to be a professor from Austria. According to the progress of the game, the cutscene ends, and the player clicks on the two male passengers closest to Detective Poirot to ask about the situation, and then walks deeper into the carriage, collecting information from the passengers one by one, and finally it is the professor's turn.

And this time, Poirot walked through the narrow aisle of the food truck, and under the curious, confused, and uncertain gaze of the old professor, he clicked on the golden question mark above his head.

The first line reads:

Poirot: "Who are you?" Tell me about your itinerary and destination. ”

The second line reads:

Poirot: "Tell me about your movements and discoveries after dinner last night. ”

And this time, there is an extra line of text:

"Do you suspect that I am a murderer?"

With the appearance of this line of text, the live broadcast room fell silent. Kurobuchi paused, moved the mouse to the text, and with a flick, a conversation popped up on the screen.

Professor: "Your Excellency came straight to me, do you suspect that I killed Mr. Ratchet?" ”

Poirot: "Mr. Gerhard Hardeman, do you know the deceased Mr. Raychet?" ”

Professor: "No, who would know that kind of hateful businessman." ”

Poirot smiled politely and questioned, "Words like hateful don't fit your identity, great professor. The Professor, a respectable elder with an unrivalled gentlemanly demeanor, used the swearful word "abomination" in describing the deceased, Mr. Richett, with a slang that was clearly vulgar and disgusting, at all inconsistent with the Professor's temperament and status.

The professor was noncommittal, and continued, "Don't you think that the deceased may have done something disgusting to be, uh, killed like that in his box?" ”

Poirot raised his eyebrows, stared at the professor's eyes and asked, "Is there a way to be killed?" As far as I know, Mr. Ratchet was killed in a locked box. Only me, Mr. Booker, and Dr. Absnott have seen the deceased and his injuries. May I ask you, how did Mr. Professor not know the prophet? ”

The professor made a polite and gentlemanly gesture that was the hallmark of Germany, and said slowly: "I had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Absnott last night, and I think that if friends share some information, Mr. Detective will not suspect it, right?" ”

"Looks like you're on good terms with the doctor!" Poirot replied to the professor with his usual puzzled and polite smile, and ended the conversation, getting up and asking the other passengers.

......

...

"Wow, what kind of operation is this, the answer is actually different."

"OMG, is this the legendary bug?"

"The anchor is very powerful, and the anchor is very powerful."

...

After that, the plot is logical, because of the relationship between the doctor and the professor, the great detective Poirot opens a side plot and obtains a prop. Eventually, the game ended with a perfect score.
