Chapter 33: Awakening
"What's the matter?" Silently asked, puzzled.
"It's about the timing of the first phase of the mission!"
The royal sister said slowly.
"According to the system prompt, the time limit for this quest is 72 hours, if the quest is not completed after 72 hours, the quest will be judged to be a failure, and the player or team will be forced to teleport out of the quest area."
"In the system prompt, there is no hint about the clue characters, so can we understand that even if all the six dead in history died in this copy, the system will not judge us as a failure of the mission?"
Hearing this, Bu Yu and Conan were stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
"In that case, doesn't the life or death of these six people have nothing to do with us? It can't be! Since the system arranged for Jack the Ripper to kill the five dead, it could not have been for no reason. ”
Then, the royal sister organized the language slightly, and continued.
At the same time, I remembered the inference I had made before I was silent, that the time intervals between the five cases were 12 hours, 4 hours, 11 hours, and 4 and a half hours. Counting the first case that happened almost half an hour after we entered the dungeon...... In other words, even if none of us had protected these six people, it would have taken only twenty-two hours for them to die. ”
"In other words, if the worst happens, it will only take twenty-two hours for Jack the Ripper to complete the mission, but we will still have to wait until seventy-two hours later before the mission will be judged a failure. What did you do with that extra 50 hours? Just wait time in the dungeon? Isn't the 72-hour limit meaningless? ”
Hearing this, Bu Yu and Conan both frowned and thought about it.
At this time, the battle between the Awakened and the dark creatures has also come to an end, and under the leadership of the blonde beauty, the Awakened team will destroy all the dark creatures present, leaving no one behind.
Then the blonde and the others ran in the direction of the Whitechapel.
"Yes, even in the worst case, it only takes twenty-two hours, and we should be judged to have failed, so why is there a time limit of seventy-two hours? Then again, what happened to exceed the 72-hour time limit? ”
Suddenly, Conan seemed to think of something and exclaimed.
"More than seventy-two hours? That's right, more than seventy-two hours! ”
"Did you figure it out?"
The Royal Sister looked at Conan and asked.
"Hmmm! Pretty much. ”
"Like you said, even in the worst case, it only takes twenty-two hours for all six victims to be killed, so under what circumstances will it exceed seventy-two hours?"
The answer is that none of the six of them died, and only then would Jack the Ripper fail to complete his mission and would continue to hunt him down until the end of time. And when the time comes, it will naturally be judged to fail because the time is over. ”
"So, protecting these six people is a trap set in this mission!"
Conan said with a light smile.
"So, you mean, our mission this time is not to protect the victims, but to help Jack the Ripper and kill the victims?"
The royal sister said with a frown.
"No, remember what the task released by the system was? It is to solve the unsolved strange case, and according to the previous inference, after these six people are killed, we will not be directly judged to have failed the mission, I think, it is very likely that after all six people are killed, the hidden ripper Jack will appear and fight with us. ”
"After all, the classification of this copy is a realistic legend, not a suspense thriller, so I judge that there is a high probability that there will be a situation like the one I said."
Conan explained.
"But if that's the case, aren't these six dead meaningless to us? We just have to do nothing and wait for them to be killed. ”
"No, remember how Martha Tabren and Martha Tabrien died? Not only were their internal organs removed, but they were also dressed as human faces, and the blood was drained from all over their bodies. ”
"And through Anne Chapman's Bloodline identity, I deduce that these six deceased may all be Bloodline."
"The six blood clans, all engaged in special trades, and the ritual method of death, I deduce that these six people may be the chosen sacrifices, and they not only affect the appearance time of Jack the Ripper, but also affect the strength of Jack the Ripper after he appears."
said with a serious expression.
"But even so, there is nothing we can do, after all, although we know that if there is no more death, Jack the Ripper's strength may increase by one point, but if we don't let those dark creatures kill the remaining few people, this Jack the Ripper will not show up at all."
Conan said helplessly.
"Yes, according to the analysis, if these people don't die, Jack the Ripper may not show up, but we don't have to wait for those dark creatures to kill her...... We can kill them first. ”
Silent explained.
"But aren't you afraid to do that, and that Jack the Ripper won't show up?"
Conan was shocked, and then asked.
"If you don't appear, you won't appear, it's a big deal to fail the mission, because of your entry, the difficulty of this copy has been raised to the level of A-level, that is to say, if we don't do anything, this Jack the Ripper is at least A-level strength, and maybe even A+ level strength, with the help of so many dark creatures, let's not say that we can complete the task, but whether we can leave the copy safely is difficult to say...... Have you forgotten how miserable you were beaten by Alice? ”
Conan thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Okay, I'll go crazy with you once, anyway, it's purely boring for me to enter this dungeon, and it doesn't matter if I can complete the task or not." ”
Hearing this, he glanced at each other without saying anything, and saw a deep helplessness on each other's faces, this is the difference between players and awakened people, people just come in to play life, and they wait for others, as long as they don't pay attention to it, they may die with a whimper, the gap in this situation is really unacceptable.
After a moment of silence, Bu Si contacted Olsen and Scarlett in the team channel, told them all about their previous analysis and inference, and then said his thoughts and asked for their opinions.
The two thought for a moment, and then asked Bu Yu and the royal sister for some details, and both women expressed their support for Bu Si's decision.
According to Scarlett's meaning: "Compared to fighting with Jack the Ripper, who has the assistance of many dark creatures and his own strength has reached at least A-level, it is better to gamble with the captain, if he succeeds, everything will naturally be fine, or he will fail, at most he will enter the punishment copy, which is also much better than facing an enemy that is impossible for himself and others to defeat." ”
After a brief discussion, Olsen and the Royal Sister went to Bishop's Square to find Catherine Edox, while Conan went to Dorsey Street to find Mary Jane Carey.
As for Silent and Scarlett, they went to find Elizabeth Stride......
