"So who's the murderer?" someone asked.

"Don't rush yet," replied Writer A, "let me speak slowly." First of all, we have not found the captain's body, and it is likely that he was thrown directly into the sea, but because of this, we cannot find the scene of the crime, and we do not know the murder method, so it is difficult to come up with tangible evidence. What I'm going to say now is just speculation!"

The crowd had serious expressions and listened to Writer A's words.

"First of all, we have to resolve a fundamental contradiction, which is that the captain should have died a long time ago, but as of this morning, there are still reports of sightings of the captain. In other words, people who should be dead can still jump out and move, and it is difficult to detect anomalies. ”

"How do you know the captain is dead?" asked the normal crew.

"I don't deny that this is a speculation, but it is a reasonable speculation," replied writer A. "I was the first person to notice the stoppage, and I immediately marked it and consulted with the poet K." And the poet K also responds that the captain's room is still full of ketchup and no one takes care of it. All kinds of strange signs, we are interested to start investigating deeply!"

Writer A turned his head and glanced at Kevin, who nodded and continued: "The results of the investigation are blocked everywhere. The wheelhouse and captain's room were suddenly sealed off with an enchantment, and this level of defense was not necessary in a non-emergency situation. ”

"Then the next morning, the captain himself appeared on the roof of the ship and waved at us on deck. But we hurried upstairs, but we didn't see half of them," replied writer A, "and then the poet K got drunk and made a fuss about the whole boat, but the captain still didn't show up." I don't think there's any other reason than the captain has long since died. ”

"But we've all seen the captain," replied many of the crew, "and I don't feel anything out of the ordinary." ”

"That's the problem, 'Captain' doesn't dare to appear in front of us, but he dares to appear in front of you," replied writer A, "I can only think that the other side is afraid that there will be a flaw in front of us! ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and it sounded a little uncomfortable, but they still had to admit it.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and there are no more than the following three spells that can achieve this kind of thing. 1. All those who claim to have seen the captain are lying, but since we have seen the captain ourselves, this is not true. ”

"Second, illusion. With the magic of augmented reality, it is operationally feasible to see someone else as the captain of the ship. However, illusions are usually performed individually, and in many cases, two or more people witness the captain at the same time. Moreover, the poet K has good mental strength, and he is not so easy to be hit. If the illusion is true, then it should be a super master, or at least two or more illusionist murderers, to hypnotize both at the same time. ”

"Three, Transfiguration. The most famous transfiguration technique is the Sheep Dotting Technique, but in addition to that, there are also spells that turn oneself into a specific person. If Transfiguration is true, then it can only be that after the murderer kills the captain, he will change into the captain's appearance, deliberately adding some sightings to disturb the captain's death time. ”

"I can only speculate on three, and when all things considered, Transfiguration is the most likely. Writer A finished analyzing and waited for everyone to digest it.

There was silence for a while, and many people shuddered: "You mean, we are not seeing the captain, but ...... The murderer has become?"

Kevin frowned and thought, and couldn't help but speak: "Are there really only three possibilities?"

Writer A was slightly surprised: "What else? Could it be necromancy? But it's been extinct for hundreds of years." ”

Kevin opened his mouth to refute something, but hesitated for a moment and closed his mouth.

Writer A saw that no one responded, so he continued: "If it is a transfiguration, then the method of killing is relatively simple. He can become the person the captain is most familiar with, or even a beautiful woman, to complete the real lustful trap assassination. The corpse is hidden in the space ring, and if conditions permit, it can be released directly to frame Start. If the situation is not right, the ring will be thrown into the sea, and it will be unaware. ”

"And yet the ship stopped!" replied writer A, "I've been wondering, why should the boat be stopped? Is it impossible for the boat to carry out the murder method when it is open? Is there not enough time? It doesn't make sense, if it is framed by the game of Stadt, as long as the game has time to play normally, then the murder method should be in time." ”

"Combined with the enchantment in the cab, we never went in and investigated. I have to venture to speculate that the person who killed the captain was the pilot!"

Everyone was shocked, and Start couldn't help but complain: "What? A reasoning to the end, the murderer has never appeared?"

Writer A replied calmly: "This is the reality, the murderer does not need to wander in front of the detective in advance, and the murderer who does not show up throughout the whole process will not have flaws." But in other words, people we have never seen since we got on the ship, especially people we have not been able to see even when we have deliberately investigated the whole ship. Then there is a high probability that he is the murderer!"

"Is the driver there, where is the driver?" a group of people looked for each other and quickly came to the conclusion, "The driver didn't come up!" "I didn't see it even if I thought about it." "I guess I haven't seen it in days. ”

"How many of your drivers are there?" asked Writer A.

"Three," replied the crew, "but now all three are gone, and...... We don't seem to see them in days. ”

"Three!" Kevin was also slightly puzzled, "Three people murdered the captain together?"

"No, if it's a conspiracy, we can just alternate the boats, and there is no need to stop the boats!" Writer A also frowned, "Or, one of them was exposed to murder and was forced to kill the other two pilots first?" or...... Forget it, there's no need to waste time. Let's head straight to the cab and take a look!"

"It's okay to go, you don't have to go, leave half of the people behind," Kevin said, "Don't go it alone now, supervise each other." ”

Writer A immediately led the way downstairs, followed by many crew members and curious travelers, while others were too lazy to move and waited on the top of the boat. Kevin sat on the edge of the circle, holding a hedron in his hand, ready to launch at any time, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

On the top of the ship, these lazy rich people were not idle, and they all gathered around Start to ask: "How can this be?" "Is this true?" "Won't it?" "Won't it still be in the game......?"

Start repeatedly reassured everyone to calm down. Kevin, on the other hand, was so annoyed that it was difficult for him to think quietly.

After a long time, writer A took people back to the top of the boat, with a solemn face. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

"We just forcibly broke the barrier in the cab, which is empty, well-equipped, and shows no signs of fighting. It is true that the boat has stopped, but it requires the permission of the pilot or the captain to drive the boat, but now there is none. Writer A replied briefly.

"Then we went to the captain's room, and broke the barrier, and the captain's room was still full of ketchup. No change from before. It should have been a long time since anyone went in. ”

Then there was a deathly silence, and the people began to panic, and now not only the captain was dead, but also the three pilots were missing.

"Wait a minute," Kevin said suddenly, "what is the driving system of your cruise ship?"

The normal crew stood up and replied, "No! The wheelhouse is heavy, not even the cleaners will go in." Three drivers rotate, and as for the specific time, they arrange it themselves. ”

Writer A thought of another possibility: "Perhaps, there were no three drivers in the first place. One driver can transfigurate, and the three of them take turns resting. Just avoid the phenomenon of three people being present at the same time......"

"This ......" Everyone only thought it was almost a fantasy, but they couldn't make sense if they wanted to refute it.

Kevin replied, "It's possible." The three drivers are hypothesized to be ABC, in which the murderer A takes the form of B or C to commit murder, and even if it is revealed or left clues in the middle of the process, it will eventually point to B and C. But when you look into it, you won't find B and C at all. It can only be defined as a headless case, or B and C jumped into the sea in fear of crime. ”

"Headless Case...... Writer A shook his head, "This is impossible! A person who has worked so hard to arrange such a delicate layout cannot jump into the sea in fear of sin."...... ”

Everyone couldn't help but ask, "But now the three of them can't be found?"

Writer A replied, "That could be that we interrupted his plan." The murderer should be hiding at this time, this ship is familiar to him, and it is difficult for us to find him for a while. And he must be some driver. ”

"Will it ...... He has changed his appearance, and he is mixed in with us?" someone exclaimed, and everyone woke up like a dream, and they all subconsciously distanced themselves from others.

"Don't worry, we can set up a dispersal circle, everyone can walk around inside. Kevin casually took out the spar, and in a moment the formation had been formed.

Everyone felt a little calmer and began to line up and walk into the formation. Kevin swept the audience with his mental power, and no one retreated or resisted, it seems that the real murderer should not be here.

"What now?" said Starter, who couldn't help but ask the real question, "Can you ask for help from the outside world?"

Writer A shook his head: "We searched for a long time, but we didn't find any communication equipment. I'm afraid it's been taken away. ”

Starter turned to Kevin and asked, "Can't you help it, don't you have a contract beast?" ”

Kevin shook his head: "The little tiger is far away in the capital, too far away. It's hard to connect with my mental power. ”

"It seems that in addition to the fact that the official found out that the ship had been parked for too long and came to check. We can only find the murderer, take back the authority, and sail the boat ourselves. Writer A is still calm and calm.

"Where the hell is the murderer?" many people were already anxious.

"What strength do three drivers have?" asked Kevin.

"Two sixth-order warriors, one fifth-order. Someone replied.

"They're all masters!" Kevin's brow tightened.

"Yes," Writer A was also a little worried, "The strength at this stage is unrivaled by anyone present, right?"

"No, I'm thinking about something else. Kevin was still frowning.

Writer A was slightly stunned, looked up at Kevin in surprise, and then remembered something: "When I said 'necromancer' just now, your expression seemed to want to say something, is it ......?"

Kevin nodded: "Yes, I can now responsibly tell you that necromancers have never been extinct. ”

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, but Start, who was also a person with some experience, was already beginning to be sad at this time.

"Years ago, there was a group of necromancy gathered on the kobolds' side, but they were subsequently wiped out by the Empire. But as far as I know, they've just migrated in one piece. There are some things that involve state secrets, and I can't disclose them, but today the situation is dangerous, so I made an exception to say it. Kevin just calmly explained.

"Also, if it's a necromancer. Then the 'captain' you see should be a corpse. Necromancers have the ability to make corpses similar to those of a living person, especially if they are kept at a distance. ”

"This ......," everyone only felt a chill, "it's terrible." ”

"It's terrible," many ladies hugged their arms, trembling, and almost crying, "how could this happen." ”

"It's horrible. ”

"Interrupt the re-reading!!" Kevin shouted angrily, and the audience shook out.

Everyone: "......"

"Don't be nervous, it's useless to repeat," Kevin said, "Now it's imperative to find out the real culprit, and necromancers aren't so scary." If it was really so terrible, how could it be extinct in the first place?"

After hearing this, the people's hearts were relieved. And writer A even admired it: "Just now, everyone almost had an emotional breakdown, and poet K only needs to stop drinking to reverse the style of painting." What a master!"

"You're welcome. Kevin responded with a smile.

Everyone: "......"

"So, if it's a necromancer, how should the case develop?" Writer A began to humbly ask for advice at this time.

Kevin was silent for a moment: "If it's a necromancer, it's easy to explain killing the captain and killing the pilot! Because the necromancer needs the corpse of a master, it's easy to understand." At the same time, thanks to Stadt's game, he has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and his plan should have been the same as Writer A said. ”

"As the game progresses, blame Start. But necromancers are more cautious and add an extra layer of insurance. Even if the blame for Stadt's failure, then blame the driver. All three drivers are supposed to have been killed, with no proof of death. And even if you are a good reasoning master, it is difficult to think of him. ”

"Because in the common sense of most people, necromancers are long gone. It's like reasoning, you don't consider the option of 'alien killing'. But sadly, what we call 'aliens' here really exist. ”

Writer A asked, "Then who do you think the necromancer will be?"

Kevin glanced at everyone: "If you want to blame Start, you must first fully understand the subsequent plot of the game. However, necromancers also have ghost spells that can eavesdrop on content without anyone knowing. That's probably what we talked about in the barrier, but we didn't think about the possibility of a necromancer at the time. ”

"If that's the case, then each of these five hundred people is suspicious, and they can all be necromancers. Stadt couldn't help but speak.

Kevin sighed, "Yes." Although I have pinched so many people, the necromancer doesn't need muscles, and he can ...... if his acting skills are high enough."

Kevin stopped halfway through his words, his eyes lit up as if something suddenly came to mind.

"What's wrong with you?" the crowd was horrified, thinking they had been attacked by something.

Many ladies covered their mouths in horror.

"Yes, that's it," Kevin said approvingly to the ladies, "and when you want to repeat it, cover your mouth right away, and you won't repeat it." ”

Everyone: "......"

Suddenly, Kevin raised his hand and slashed out with an orange fighting spirit, and when everyone was still speechless, the fighting spirit had already reached an old man who cleaned the toilet. As soon as everyone was about to exclaim, they saw the old man sweeping the toilet flashing flexibly, passing by with a vindictive spirit, and hitting a lady behind him who was covering her mouth.

There was silence, and the lady who covered her mouth was not injured at all, but was pushed, and the people behind hurriedly pushed her. Kevin's move is extremely ingenious, with only thrust and little striking power. Even if the old man didn't hide, he wouldn't be hurt, but in a hurry, it was really difficult to tell the difference.

Hula, everyone retreated in a large circle, and the security guards dutifully surrounded the old man in the middle. The old man didn't care, his eyes were still looking at Kevin: "How can you tell it's mine?"

"First, you are too calm, the first time we played the game, other people's emotions were up and down, only you were flat. But I put it down to your older age at the time. Second, I stopped in front of a picture of an angel with a bucket and went around in a big circle. ”

"I thought at the time that you were cleaning the toilet for the sake of the customer, so you deliberately didn't pass by me. But then, I had a secret conversation with Stadt and writer A and set up an enchantment, and you were rushing a mop on the side. It's really not like a person who serves well. ”

"Now it seems that you didn't try to bypass me, but to bypass that painting, which is Beautiful Angel, and I don't see any special meaning. I can only guess that maybe there is an instinctive aversion and aversion to painting. Those who are so disgusted that they don't want to take a look at it are mostly necromancers. ”

The old man smiled coldly: "Kevin is worthy of you." ”
