Chapter 6 The fantasy world can still be reasoned with
A man who is not handsome to a certain extent will never know how crazy and active a woman can be.
What was full of love letters in the drawer when he was studying, and what was his subject teacher suddenly changed to a beautiful woman when he was in middle school, it was all basic exercises.
The most outrageous thing is that the memory tells Mark that once after the dead ghost went to the men's bathroom and opened the cubicle, he was stunned to find a beautiful girl waiting for him with a smirk......
Handsome to a certain extent, sometimes you can really do whatever you want.
On the other hand, it is easy to fill up the hatred of male compatriots.
From middle school to university, he received many duel letters. Often before the quarrel has started, these guys who sent out dueling invitations are settled by the female knights and nobles in the [Mark Support Group].
When Mark told the night watchmen this fact in a calm and distressed tone, the expressions of the three night watchmen were wonderful.
Even if they knew that Mark was really not pretentious, they still felt the urge to beat Mark.
This kid is so handsome that people hate him.
But what can they do with Mark?
After Mark finished talking about his situation, Garion stood up: "Okay, we know the situation. You can rest assured that you are protected and wait for news. ”
"How long do I have to wait?"
"It depends on when the madman gets caught."
Mark hesitated, but still proposed: "I ...... Can you take a look at the files of other victims? ”
"Why?" The three night watchmen looked him straight in the eye.
Mark suddenly smiled bitterly: "I am like a little bee locked in a glass bottle, I can see the light, but I can't see the future." ”
The poetic answer is full of bitterness and a strong sense of despair.
If it weren't for the damn music box, maybe Mark could have put himself in 'safety' and waited for the Night's Watch to solve the case. But now there is a music box on the bright side, and there is a murderer who wants to trap him in secret.
That's not good.
As someone who likes to take his destiny into his own hands, Mark wants to seize the initiative in everything.
The three night watchmen looked at each other and nodded.
A few minutes later, a large pile of files was taken.
The Night's Watch was actually curious to see what clues the occult student could come up with. After all, the occult and the night watchman are old acquaintances. Many occultists are also hired into the Night Church with high salaries.
In front of the night watchman, Mark opened the leather bag of the dossier and read through them one by one.
With the help of the original owner's memory, he was self-taught in the new foreign language [Wright].
There are three copies of the dossier:
Victim John Canon: Male, 27 years old, dock worker, righteous man, good big brother among workers. Four days ago, because his boss announced that he would extend his working hours for one hour a day without pay, John directly led someone to beat up his boss. Three days ago, in the morning, he appeared to have accidentally been wrenched into the propeller behind a broken ship in a dock that was being repaired, and his body was dismembered on the spot.
The victim, Andy Naston, male, 23 years old, an accountant in an accounting firm, is a bold person, has many friends, and is known as the No. 1 Bacchus in the western district of the city, known as a thousand cups of not drunk. Spotted drowned in a tavern barrel two days ago.
The victim, Pence DuPont, male, 26 years old, is the son-in-law of the owner of the DuPont Bank and a widely anticipated rising star in the business world. It is the pride of the sky in the eyes of young people. Yesterday, when I took a few accountants to count money in the vault of my bank, I was suddenly crushed to death by the dumped gold bricks.
Hundreds of thousands of people die every year in the Wright Empire due to various accidents such as car accidents, and under normal circumstances, most of these three cases will end with accidental deaths.
However, this cultist always issued a criminal notice before he succeeded in getting his hands on it.
The night watchman receives a notice from an ignorant newsboy or messenger and rushes to the scene as soon as possible, often only in time to collect the body.
This sane but crazy pervert is using this means to play the night watchman.
Seeing this, Mark looked up and asked, "If it's an ordinary murderer, why don't you hand it over to the police?" ”
The night watchman silently handed over the three files.
Mark narrowed his eyes: "That makes sense. ”
The three victims worship the god of storms, wine, and wealth, and are the new stars of their respective churches.
Mark himself...... Well, the dead ghost's parents are no longer there, but the original owner also has a grandfather and a second uncle who are from the Mixed Light Church, and in my impression, the status is not high, and it is only at the level of a small town priest. He finally got a name in the Church of Light.
In addition, he has several cousins and cousins.
In other words, that madman offended four churches at once, is it really worthy of being a cult?
Putting down the dossier, Mark rubbed his eyebrows.
Although he fuses memory, he is still dominated by the thinking of modern people. As a master of keyboard reasoning and a lover of detective novels born in the era of more advanced information, he prefers to peel back the cocoon on the dossier and chew on the subtle details.
Judging from the fact that the advance notice was given, it was certainly not a crime of passion.
[Crime of passion] is an explosive, short-lived, and violent emotional state of criminal behavior, usually formed after being exposed to the adverse stimuli of the external environment.
The prediction of murder and the helplessness of the orthodox church are in themselves a kind of show-off!
Mark asked tentatively: "Excuse me, are there any special conditions and requirements for the promotion of the cult's career?" ”
Garion said coldly: "No comment. ”
Mark shrugged, "Even if the night watchman won't reveal it, I can probably guess the other person's bad taste." The three victims, plus me, are basically the ones who are affected by which church they follow. It is not written in the dossier, probably because the three churches have covered up their own demons or anomalies. ”
Night's Watchman: "......"
Mark's eyes sharpened: "Through the method of elimination, we can skim off the big sins such as [gluttony] that are obviously characteristic." Then there is only one answer - [jealousy]! ”
Don't listen to Mark so categorically, there is no doubt about it. His heart was actually beating a drum.
The Cult of Light didn't even see the existence of the music box at Albert's level, so he could only gamble.
Now, he is just using his maximum thinking speed to grasp the changes in the situation as much as possible and make more efficient decisions.
The biggest key is that he has to do a test that is not too big or too small.
With a thought, he threw out the [Twenty-Sided Dice].
Not as a judgment on the fate of an event, but as a 'divination'.
The attempt was successful.
The dice, which were invisible to others, rolled on the ground and finally landed on the number [12].
Mark's heart tightened first and then loosened.
In the game, the 20-point cap is 12 points, which is enough in most cases as long as you don't run headlong into the boss in the novice village.
What does this mean?
The general direction is correct, but the details need to be improved?
It's just that Mark noticed that the glow on the dice seemed to dim a little. This is not a good sign. He knew he had to do something.
Anyway, there is support from metaphysics.
This emboldened Mark.
At this time, the faces of the night watchmen turned pale at the same time.
Garion muttered: "Reason? ”
"It's very simple - why is everyone excellent, just you?"
Well, this important sentence should actually be said twice.
Mark continued, "If you exclude the specific conditions required for the promotion ceremony, in order to gain the favor of the cult's higher-ups, you must fully display your evil wisdom. There's nothing like playing around with the entire Night's Watch in public. ”
Alas! Unexpectedly, in the other world, the mixed cult was also involuted to the point that it had to rely on the whole work to get to the top.
It's really a bad day.
Garion groaned, "Well, if it's [jealousy] as you say. So what is this demon jealous of? We don't think there is anything similar between the four of you, after all, you all have different origins, religious backgrounds, and social circles. ”
Mark slowly raised the four fingers of his right hand.
"Well, the four of us really don't know each other. But in the world, disputes and comparisons between men are often inseparable from wealth, wine, gas, and sex! At the end, Mark pointed his index finger at his handsome face, which even men would envy, and spread his hands.
Garion's pupils shrank to the size of a pin's eye. He must have come to his senses. The other two night watchmen clenched their fists in excitement with wide eyes.
At a young age, Pence had the wealth of a rich country, and he was Cai.
Andy, who is not drunk in a thousand cups, is naturally [wine].
For the worker brothers, he can stick a knife in both ribs, and John, who beats the boss, is of course [angry].
Finally, who says that male color is not [color]?
Wealth, wine, gas, and sex are directly alive together.
Instead of taking reckless means to directly kill the object of one's envy and jealousy, but using despicable conspiracy to pit the object of one's envy to death, in the [jealous] church, what could be more approving of the cult leader's superior performance?
When Mark told him the full story, the three Night's Watch were all gasping for air.
That's because of excitement.
Admittedly, as a night watchman who specializes in fighting evil spirits, he lacks wisdom in this case, and is a bit humiliating.
But this case involves the four major Orthodox churches, and they are under even more pressure to solve the case.
What if the calculation is wrong?
It's better than having a black eye right now.
In any case, Mark is just an ordinary person, and it is up to them to really kill the cultists. They take the lion's share of the credit afterwards.
Compared with the shame, it is more practical to solve the case.
Mark added a handful of firewood to the fire.
"Most of the target people are poor, have poor alcohol consumption, never dare to disobey their bosses or get angry with others, and they also look like wretchedness that affects the city's appearance." He graciously picked up the hot black tea that the night watchman had served him earlier, and took a pleasant sip: "For my lovely freedom." If you can guarantee my safety, I am willing to put on a good show for the cultist who is hiding in the shadows, and tell him what kind of great man is who combines the four virtues of wealth, wine, and complexion. ”
Several night watchmen had the urge to beat Mark on the spot, but at the moment, Mark's little stinky beauty was directly ignored.
Garion's eyes snapped: "As long as you can fish that guy out, we'll kill him!" ”
"Deal." Mark smiled casually: "Then, I can continue to be a quiet beautiful man." ”
