Chapter 69, the truth is revealed
At the beginning in the game, the biggest reason why the "Sweetwater Hotel Murder Case" was confusing and became an unsolvable mystery was not because the case was complicated or the statements of the various people involved contradicted each other.
In reality, the police should not only look for clues of various clues, but also use psychological means to ask for true and reliable information from the mouths of relevant people and even suspects, many of which are quite simple but effective - for example, there is a very common method, which is to repeatedly ask all kinds of simple questions, so that the other party can relax their vigilance, and then suddenly ask key questions......
Using various techniques, the police can often successfully break the suspect's mental defense, get the most important information, and then piece together pieces of evidence into a complete criminal record according to the map, and complete the entire investigation process.
But in the game, players can only search the hotel little by little, looking for clues, those NPCs' lines are just a few sentences over and over, no matter how many times you ask them, there will be no change, and you can only ask a few fixed questions, which will not help much at all.
Not only that, but in the game, this area is a safe zone, and whether it is magic or force, it loses its meaning. Players can only solve problems with intelligence and care.
In the game, that's fine. Otherwise, if you encounter a player in the style of Horus, you will directly smash it down with an "anti-evil circle", and whoever has a negative buff on it will be hacked to death with an axe.
This practice, known colloquially as "kicking the door", comes from a long, long time ago, before the rise of online games, when players played a variety of fantasy roles and solved puzzles, mazes, and monsters. Some of them are keen to bypass puzzles and traps and solve problems in a brutal or straightforward way, because the most typical style of this practice is "there is a lock on the door, and this lock needs a key - key your sister, Lao Tzu kicks the door open", so they are called "kicking the door group" or "smashing the door group".
Last night, Panda had determined that he could use force in the hotel, and immediately thought about what to do.
What should a paladin do if he wants to find the murderer in a group of people?
Looking for clues?
Repeatedly ask for verification?
That's a detective's job!
Where can the holy knight be so troublesome, just come and "detect lies"!
Although this method is a bit rough, lacking a sense of art, beauty, and wisdom, Panda really can't remember the long strategy, and he doesn't have the leisure to accompany this group of guys who are strictly speaking a good person to play crime-solving games such as "Detective Conan" or "Young Bao Qingtian", so he chose the most straightforward method.
Kick the door to solve the puzzle and detect lies.
When this spell was released, the baroness smiled, and everyone in the hotel breathed a sigh of relief, only the knight Little Noon's face changed greatly, and he didn't want to think about it.
He already had some foreboding, so when he chose a seat in the hall downstairs, he chose the closest to the door, and turned around and charged at this moment, and he could rush out of the door in no more than two seconds at most.
Outside the stable, there was the carriage from which they came. In order to give the pack horses pulling the cart a good rest, they untied the ropes last night so that the horses could rest. Now rush out, just rush to the stable, beat the horse and gallop, no one will try to catch up with him!
He took one step, one step, two steps...... Suddenly, he looked at everything around him, and it seemed that he was flying, and then he saw a headless body rushing towards the door, tripped over the threshold, and fell to the door, blood gushing out.
(Huh, why did I fly?, why does this guy's armor look so familiar?)
In the next moment, he realized what had happened.
It was his head that flew up, and it was his body that tripped over the doorway.
(I'm dead...... )
With this last thought, the head fell to the ground.
It was only then that the people in the hotel hall came to their senses.
"Although it is said that there is no need to test anymore, in order to ensure that the criminals are not missed, please verify the authenticity of what I just said. The panda swung his sword, threw the blood on the sword to the ground, and then slowly returned the sword into its sheath, with a hint of coldness on his face, and said to everyone, "Although it is unlikely, maybe he still has accomplices...... Not necessarily. ”
Looking at his murderous face and the knight in a different place, everyone in the hall couldn't help but shudder, even the bard, who had been cold and indifferent and seemed to care about nothing, also showed a little horror.
Then there were no twists and turns, and everyone verified them one by one according to the panda's request, and everyone passed the verification - some of them may have colluded with little Noon, but it is true that no one was involved in the crime of killing the baron last night.
Panda didn't intend to delve into their other matters, nodded and asked the cook to prepare breakfast.
"I'm hungry, and I'm sure you're hungry too. He said, "It's a little unappetizing to eat in front of a corpse, but you always have to eat, right?"
Everyone nodded, and the panda found a vacant seat and was about to sit down, when he saw the scenery around him suddenly shake - not like a car or ship jolting, but like a ripple on the surface of the water reflecting the scenery.
The panda was slightly stunned, then guessed a few points, and stood still.
After a few moments, everything around them faded away, and only a cloud of light slowly coalesced. Finally, when everything was gone, and the surrounding area was once again a long yellow sand, the light turned into a small seal, which he stretched out his hand to catch it.
This seal is about five centimeters long, the color should be silver, the overall shape is a sword inserted into the lion's head, the seal used to seal is about three centimeters square, the inscription on it is reversed, it is not clear, he tried to cover it on the sand, only to see the content of the inscription - it is actually a sword, the top of the sword is "Noang", the bottom is "glory".
This seal called "Noon's Glory" has a very interesting attribute, in addition to slightly improving some basic attributes, there are two special effects, the first effect is "Prevent Assassination" - Panda really doesn't understand, how can this thing prevent assassination? Is it to invalidate the thief's "backstab" skill? Or is it like the legendary sword psychic, it will automatically alarm when it feels murderous?
Its second effect is to increase the friendliness of nobles, robbers, soldiers, and bards, and this effect makes Panda wonder even more - the nobles can understand, what the hell are robbers, soldiers, and bards, and why is the seal of the Noon family able to increase the friendliness of these unrelated people?
When he looked through the system logs, he finally understood.
[You are trapped in a fantasy]
[You solved the problem that had plagued the souls for many years in the illusion, and the souls left the world with peace of mind and gave you the last gift]
It turned out that the map of the labyrinth, and everything that happened inside the hotel, was just an illusion.
This illusion is so vivid, even the panda who deceived the professionals, I really don't know how deep the obsession of those dead souls is, so they left such a real illusion.
The panda sighed and put away the seal.
The real best thing about this piece of equipment is that it doesn't need to be equipped, just keep it in your inventory and it will have an effect.
With this attribute, it is undoubtedly a top-of-the-line piece of equipment despite being only blue quality!
