Uncle Xu crawled in the pitch-black ventilation ducts.

Maybe it was a mistake to run out on his own, he thought.

But...... I heard the voice myself.

Only that voice, I can never hear it wrong.

"It's a game," Uncle Xu repeatedly admonished himself, "fake, it's all fake." ”

The middle-aged ghoul made a difficult turn in the ventilation duct.

……

Meanwhile.

"Ahh

The waitress's exclamation startled Chen Qiang and the other four. Qin Lingxue, who had a sense of justice, rushed in the direction of the room with one arrow step-

"Wait!"

[Jon Chan is agile at 70, Haneda Snow is agile at 80, and the confrontation fails]

Chen Qiang reached out to pull it, but it was empty. Just as he was about to follow, he saw Xiaoxue make a "stop" gesture to him.

It turns out that Xiaoxue hasn't lost her cool......

"Dead, dead, dead......" The waitress fell to the ground, ice cream spilled on the ground, "corpses ......"

Xiaoxue, who saw the scene in the room, paused visibly.

[Player "Qin Lingxue" has accumulated 5 points of sanity lost from "discovering a terrifying corpse", and is accustomed to this fear, so he will not lose his sanity again]

Once an investigator has lost the maximum amount of sanity that can be caused by that monster due to the same monster, the investigator will no longer lose any additional sanity. For example, an investigator will not lose more than 6 sanity by encountering an army of ghouls (sanity loss 0/1D6), even if he is facing more ghouls than Resident Evil zombies.

This is known as "habitual fear." Of course, if the investigators had forgotten this horrific memory, the loss of sanity would have come back to them once again.

As for the loss of sanity outside of monsters, whether there will be such an "adaptation" often depends on the judgment of the secret keeper. Occasionally, some people in the Cthulhu Run game complained, saying that police officers and medical examiners who are used to seeing death would lose their sanity and go crazy because of an ordinary deceased person.

Now it seems that the judgment of the system is more lenient, and the investigator who is accustomed to some kind of source of fear will not be attacked by reason again, as long as he does not forget all this.

Xiaoxue made a "come here" gesture to everyone, and pointed to Gu Shiyin, hoping that she would stay where she was. But Gu Shiyin ran over with Chen Qiang and Xiao Yezi. Chen Qiang didn't stop her: anyway, this mythical creature with SAN=0 didn't need any sanity verification at all.

“……”

It was a male corpse. The head, left shoulder and left arm are gone. The dead man, dressed in a brown dressing gown, flipped on his back on a black upright piano in the living room of his suite......

[Jon Chen's current remaining sanity points 35]

"Call the police immediately!" Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, Chen Qiang restrained the urge to retch.

The waitress crawled out of the hallway.

Sayoko hesitated. She and Qin Lingxue are both logistics personnel who support the battle when necessary, and they are not very good at this kind of scene survey; And she is also worried that if everyone enters the scene of the murder, they will be reprimanded by the police for "destroying the scene".

"It's okay, Sayoko. They won't accuse us of sabotaging the scene, maybe they'll have to rely on us. Qin Lingxue said.

She quickly pulled two letters out of her satchel.

"Who are they?" In fact, when Sayoko saw the emblem on the letter, she understood everything.

"Yes...... The national investigation department of the United States officially invited us to serve as a transnational criminal police trainee," Qin Lingxue did not say the name "Green Delta", although the organization has long lost its official background, but in recent years, the influence of some branch organizations in relevant departments has recovered slightly, "Although it is a trainee, I don't know how we were selected, but we also have a background in the police, and it is not too much to make a cameo appearance as an agent on a ship with a shortage of manpower." ”

"The two people we replaced still have this kind of setting...... Wait, when did you find out? Sayoko was surprised.

"Just now you checked your notebook there, and after Xiao Gu was busy on the computer, I searched the bag again there," Qin Lingxue said, "There is a mezzanine in the bag." ”

Chen Qiang nodded.

When he was paying attention to Gu Shiyin's operation of the laptop, he received the news that [Haneda Snow Investigation Verification 18/25 was successful].

Just as his identity as "Jon Chen" has been arranged as a "black businessman and fraudster who deals with Mr. Imai", "Haneda Yuki" and "Haneda Sayoko" are not simple high school students, but are on their way to the United States for training at their real age.

Attached to the name of a transnational police trainee, and can also have some contact with some special departments of the United States, Xiaoxue and Sayoko's "hidden identity" is indeed very convenient to cut into the investigation.

"Shiyin, try to take pictures of the room without dead ends." Chen Qiang gave the order and began to search around the room with Sayoko. Qin Lingxue inspected the corpse.

"The blood is still new, and the zombie hasn't appeared yet," Xiaoxue hesitated, "It was just killed, and it looks like a ......"

[Biology test of ancient poetry with punishment 43/48 success]

Gu Shiyin thought for a while. She doesn't understand human medicine, but she has a little "understanding" of the hot-blooded animals of the contemporary earth, and it's time to put this knowledge to handy......

“…… The time of death is about 30 minutes," Gu Shiyin calmly reasoned, "The cause of death is unknown, and he may have died before he was torn apart." Causes of tearing...... It could be some kind of strong 'bite'. ”

The crowd shuddered.

"The little half of my body is gone," Gu Shiyin muttered, "the other half...... Gone with their faces......"

Chen Qiang felt that if Gu Shiyin continued to talk about it, everyone would have to be rational again, but fortunately, she buried herself in the shooting scene and did not continue to "deduce".

[Haneda Sayoko Investigation Verification 93/25 Failed]

【Jon Chan Investigation Verification 64/70 Success】

"What is this?"

Chen Qiang saw a golden ring in a pool of blood near the piano. Through the handkerchief, Chen Qiang picked up the ring from the ground.

This modest gold ring is not set with any gemstones, only a line of capital letters engraved on the inside.

"I'll always be with you, my favorite ......" Chen Qiang frowned, "Is this spelling the Japanese 'Yingzi'?" ”

"You take it first," Chen Qiang stuffed the ring to Sayoko, "It may be important evidence, you can show it to the police when the time comes, and I won't betray the name of destroying the scene." Xiao Gu, how are you doing over there? ”

"It's all filmed." Gu Shiyin obediently put away her phone.

【Jon Chan Listening Test 47/70 Success】

"Hmm." Chen Qiang heard noisy footsteps outside from a long distance, and knew that the police on the boat had arrived belatedly. He took a few steps closely, leaning against the door frame, pretending that only Qin Lingxue and Xiao Yazi were investigating the scene.
