Chapter 51: Identity
"Curator, we're here today to ask you about this clay board...... " Joseph didn't want to waste time, so he took out the clay board and said directly.
"Perhaps, you shouldn't have come and asked me, because some of the specimens in the museum are from your grandfather, George. Angels sent it. The curator said.
"Shall we go and see it?" Xiao Yi said.
"Come with me," he said, leading the group to the museum's storage room, where the lights weren't bright.
"KP: We want to do a reconnaissance of this storage room." Several people said at the same time.
"Then, the detective judgment begins:
Xiao Yi 97/91 big failure
Old Ghost 80/75 failed
Catherine 77/70 failed
Flowing Dragon 80/65 failed
It's incredible, you all failed, so everyone didn't find anything wrong in the room, and because Xiao Yi looked around, causing the curator to be disgusted, Joseph's suspicion of you increased by 5 points, and once the suspicion broke through a certain limit, he would directly dismiss you. KP Nanako said.
"Recon Verdict: 20/91 Difficult Success,
Xiao Yi at the critical moment, you still have to rely on me, I will give you a difficult success, although you didn't find anything wrong in the room, but in what the curator said just now, you vaguely noticed a big loophole, maybe you can ask him rhetorically. "KP is impermanent.
Xiao Yi was looking around at the furnishings in the room, because it was a storage room, there must be some exhibits that were not often seen, the curator noticed his behavior, and said unhappily: "The things here are not usually exhibited, even if you see them, don't go around saying them, otherwise I will sue you."
"Xiao, we have to ask for people, pay attention." Joseph looked back, his tone a little stiff.
"Curator, didn't you say that the other items related to that clay tablet were George. Professor Angell sent it to you, I wonder why he sent it here, and not somewhere else? Xiao Yi suddenly asked.
"Because, at the suggestion of the housekeeper at that time, he told Professor Angell that I was safe and confidential here." The curator replied.
"Officially, I'm an FBI agent and I've been invited to investigate the real cause of Professor Angell's death, and this is my credentials, so I have the right to suspect you're lying." Xiao Yi said and took out his documents from his underwear pocket.
The curator just glanced at it and said, "From the time you came, I suspected that Joseph should not have invited so many private detectives to come and investigate, but I didn't expect you to be FBI agents."
"Professor Ingres put things with me partly because of the housekeeper's suggestion, and partly because the sheriff at the time requested that he want to keep a copy of the information." Curator said.
"So where did these samples come from?" The old ghost suddenly asked.
That year, the mysterious Abandonment Alert was found in the sea, towing a powered New Zealand armed speedboat to the harbor, and a dead and a survivor were found on board, and the speedboat was said to have fought at sea, with several casualties, and there were traces left after the battle everywhere.
The rescued crew member refused to reveal details about his bizarre experience, and found a strange statue on his body, which was carved in the style of Cthulhu, the same one that was in the deep forest that day......" With that, he took the statue from the shelf.
When everyone saw it, it was a statue of Cthulhu, but it looked a little bit old, and one corner was still worn.
"Perhaps tomorrow you can go to the port of Dunedin in this city and ask the seafarers there, and I will tell you everything I know." After speaking, the curator motioned for everyone to leave.
Xiao Yi is now more and more suspicious of the steward of the ancient castle, because it seems that everything seems to have his shadow.
The next day, the crowd arrived at Dunedin Harbour before the seafarers set out for the sea, and upon their arrival, they learned that the locals knew very little about the strange cultists who frequented the seaside bars.
When I came to the bar, I had just asked the bar owner, Shilek, about something, when suddenly a drunken seaman saw Catherine and staggered over and said, "Come, have a drink, I have money."
The atmosphere in the bar was instantly high, and Hilek said: "Don't worry about him, there are such people every day, you want to know about that speedboat, maybe we can sit down and talk."
After saying that, he took out a few goblets and put them on the bar, turned around and pulled out a bottle of light blue wine from the wine cabinet, and poured it into the wine glass.
The pale blue liquor bubbles up in the glass, giving a deep mystery, and the wine seems to contain some kind of magic.
"KP has an inspiration judgment, I don't think this bottle is so simple." Xiao Yi looked at the wine glass and said.
"Inspiration verdict: 15/91 difficult success
The traveler's natural inspiration tells you that this wine is not so simple, and in a trance you go to a group of dwarves in a winery to make this wine from a blue flower, and drinking the wine will have unexpected effects, which can be confirmed, and there are no side effects. KP Nanako said.
"Now that the benefits of high inspiration are there, let's move on to the second inspiration verdict: 10/91 is extremely difficult to succeed
Xiao Yi seems that your luck is good, you actually succeeded in two judgments, although you didn't taste it, but you smell the mellow smell of wine, and you probably know the role of this wine.
Name: Unknown liquor
Quality: Between the ordinary and the extraordinary, it can barely be regarded as green quality.
Description: This is a dwarven liquor made from blue plants that keep people awake, and the production is not very large, and only when they become friends with the dwarves, they will give it away or allow it to be purchased.
Effect: It does not get drunk after drinking, but will stay awake for a period of time, and is a very rare wine. Appropriate can temporarily restore a certain amount of sanity...... To get people out of a temporary state of madness, maybe you can use intel and bosses in exchange for a little drink. "KP is impermanent.
Xiao Yi took a sip of the wine glass, and said with a deep sigh of relief: "It tastes good, can I have another drink?"
The others watched Xiao Yi drink the wine and waited for a few minutes before picking up the wine glass and carefully examining the blue liquor inside.
"Xiao, how do you feel?" The old ghost spoke.
"It was so nice that I would even like to have another drink...... It depends on whether the boss is willing or not? Xiao Yi said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yi's appearance, and with a hesitant attitude, they raised their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
After a moment, with a shocked expression on her face, KP Nanako put the general information on the public channel.
"Congratulations on drinking the specially brewed liquor, the sanity value has increased by 2 points, and within 10 minutes, you can stay awake, and your sanity judgment is directly normal." KP Nanako said with a smile.
Helek put the bottle on the wine cabinet again and said, "How's it going?" Yes, this is the liquor left over from that speedboat, and for so many years I only drank a glass when I was confused.
That's why I'm giving you a drink because you're looking into it, because you're going to go crazy when you hear what I'm going to say. ”
"The boss doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." Xiao Yi smiled and put down his wine glass and said.
"Joseph, your grandfather once wrote me a letter through the butler, and strangely I received two different letters, the handwriting in which was the same, but the contents were diametrically opposed." Shilek said slowly, as if he was caught up in memory.
"At that time, the speedboat happened to be docked, and because I was relatively close to here, I went to check it out for the first time, and found that many of the traces on it could not be caused by humans.
Because some kind of animal claw marks appeared around the ship, the one who survived was my uncle, with whom I knew him well, and once drunk he spat out part of the truth to me. Helek poured himself a glass of wine and continued in one gulp.
"They were at sea, they were caught in a storm, and it was supposed to be a medium-sized four-pole boat, and the speedboat was just a contingency plan.
After the storm, I saw a huge city reflected on the sea, and it was unbelievable that there would be a city in the sea.
And they were on the edge of the reflection, and suddenly a pale green humanoid species appeared in the reflection and swam towards them, at first they thought it was a mermaid, and then something terrible happened. ”
"The green mermaid attacked them, and the boat sank, leaving only a few people to escape in the speedboat, or the mermaid deliberately let them go, and left something on the speedboat. Am I right? Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and said.
