"The Garden of Eden? Sinners? Archie stared at the words on the note and frowned.

"I guess it's just a religious organization." Aaron stumbled and guessed, "Isn't it similar to that myth, God created man, Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden by stealing the forbidden fruit, and all human beings are burdened with original sin and so on." ”

What do you say? Myth fusion? Rann looked at the note on it and thought about it, but soon he shook his head again, he felt that this should not be just a legend, the 'land of the gods' in it gave him a sense of déjà vu, such as a dream world.

At least the dream world is real in this game, he has been there in his previous life, but it is full of dangers.

Almost none of the players who have been there have come back intact, they have all come back dead, and the character cards remain in that dream world forever.

The crowd then looked down.

[November 6th, what a bad day, I seem to have been seen when I was connecting, he was ...... The caretaker of the apartment? This guy has unclean hands and feet, he's a greedy guy, and I hope the hush money I give will stop him. 】

In addition, there are some bits and pieces of information, such as the members of the Outlanders' organization, what events they have held, the list of members is listed one by one, and Archie even sees the names of many councillors or high-ranking people on it, if these names are announced, the whole city of Arkham will be shaken several times.

In the back, the notes are more and more casual, and in addition to important information, there are also some relaxed daily routines interspersed, as if Charlie is venting his inner pressure by keeping a diary.

Judging from the information in the notes, Archie's father mixed well, and he was thriving in the Outlander Organization, and he came into contact with many big names one after another.

But in the subsequent notes, the situation took a turn for the worse.

[Frank is blackmailing me again, damn it, his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, I have to find a way to keep him shut up forever.] 】

[The sect leader met with me today, it seems that my work has finally been recognized by him, in order to win me over, he taught me how to open the gap between dreams, but it made me cold from the beginning to the bottom of the feet]

[Why is this method almost exactly the same as the method taught within the Inspection Bureau?] Is there someone inside the inspection bureau who betrayed, is it that the stranger has his own source of intelligence, no, if the stranger really has someone undercover in the inspection bureau, this is too dangerous, I have to find a way to find out the truth. 】

[The Dream Gap successfully broke through the first layer, but the second layer ...... The second layer is an impossible test! 'Give up your sanity and go madness.' 'He wants me to be a madman first, what if I fail?' Just go crazy for the rest of your life? Who can do this! Just trying to go down the second ladder was already starting to feel wrong, and I was thinking that it would be nice if I could just kill that greedy administrator, once and for all. 】

[No, maybe I really think so, anyway, the left and right are just scumbags, and no one will shed even a single tear for him when he dies! 】

The back line is crossed out with a red line, and the handwriting is noticeably heavier.

[Nope! How can I think so, Charlie, Charlie, have you forgotten the oath you took when you joined the Inspection Bureau, the people are the ones I want to protect! 】

Seeing this, Aaron couldn't help but kick Frank again: "Yo, you still dare to blackmail people!" ”

Frank was silent, with a deep pleading in his eyes: "I know I was wrong, I have paid the price now, just let me go, really, I will go to the police station and turn myself in!" ”

Archie turned a deaf ear to Frank's pleas for mercy and continued to flip through the next page, trying to crawl out of the room while the others were all focused on the notes.

was discovered by Aaron and Matcha Custard, and dragged back.

[Frank, who had been overwhelmed lately, suddenly relented, but I don't think it's a good thing, I have an extremely bad guess, he may see that I won't pay him any more money, I may have to give up being an undercover agent, and Luke has told me that it is too dangerous for me to go on like this.] But I'm only halfway through the investigation, and I feel like I've caught a big fish, and I can't get out of it. 】

[Perhaps the inspection bureau ......]

The back was torn off half of the page, the content was mutilated, and the next page was torn

The notes were visibly hurried.

[I have received an important piece of information, this Outlander organization is planning an extremely evil plot, and this plan has been going on for more than ten years, they may be nearing the end, their purpose is to open the door to the land of the gods!] But more than that, I can't investigate any further, my actions are too eager, and there may already be people who suspect me......]

[I have to leave anyway, I'm going to get out of this organization, Luke said he has already arranged it for me, fake my death and get out, with his origin ability, my wife and children will not have problems, but I can't see them for the time being, I have to go and see them for the last time, tomorrow is Archie's birthday, he has wanted to see me for a long time...... I want to see him too. 】

Archie's hand began to shake again, he pressed his forehead, his muscles bulged, his cheeks bloodshot, the voice grew louder and louder in his head, as if to suppress him from remembering that memory, but Archie held back, he desperately tried to remember what had happened that day.

The note slipped out of his hand, and a photo fell out of it, which was quickly caught by Ran's eyes, and the two players looked at the changes of Archie at a loss, and the matcha custard trembled: "Do you want to have a first aid?" ”

Ah Long, who had almost been killed by her before, stared at her in disbelief: "What? Just you, a quack? ”

The two almost fought, Archie stood in place and staggered, Rann stretched out his hand to support him, and the young man fell into Ran's arms, his previously indifferent black eyes were filled with mist and confusion, and Archie's memories of the past resurfaced in front of his eyes, as if returning to that night.

Archie's mother prepares a candy cake and a sumptuous dinner, and Archie sits at the table staring at the door, and runs to the door after the first sound of unlocking.

"Oh, my little prince." Charlie lifted him up high, "Miss Daddy?" ”

The next scene is of him leaving home.

"Don't, don't go."

Archie subconsciously stretched out his hand and waved it wildly in the air, and Rann could only grab his hand: "I won't go." ”

He remembered.

Little Archie was unwilling to let his father always come and go, and after his birthday, quietly followed Charlie, and he saw his father standing and talking with a man in a black coat at the entrance of the alley.

Little Alqi remembered the gossip of his neighbors on weekdays, Charlie abandoned his wife and son for the sake of his faith, and mixed with random people all day long, rushed out with his blood, and yelled at the man in the black coat to keep him away from Charlie.

Charlie's face changed for the first time and told him to hurry home, and the man in the black coat was also nervous, urging them to follow him away.

But it didn't have time.

The drunkard, who has always been annoying, led people to block them.

"It's him, everyone has stolen money, I saw them whispering last time, they must have bad intentions!" Frank flattered the man standing at the front, with the silver-white hair that only an old man could have.

"They could be cops or journalists or something, these nasty guys are hell-bent on making big news!" Frank was still chattering, but was stopped by the white-haired man, who calmly looked at Charlie and the black trench coat, "I'm sorry, I thought we were like-minded compatriots. ”

"Luke! Take Archie and go! You are not the ability of the combat department, I will come to the palace! ”

After that, there was the sound of the wind and the scenery that kept flashing, and little Archie was held in his arms by the man in the black trench coat and ran away, and the surrounding scenery kept skimming, and he just kept looking at Charlie's back.

Until the color of blood completely buried the figure.

"I'm sorry, but I have to seal this memory of yours, this is the price that my ability must pay, no one will remember this, no one will remember you, you will be safe."

"I'm sorry, Archie."

The faces of the people in his memory were blurry, and Archie only remembered that he had spoken the last sentence.

[This is the person who does not exist]

Now, the phrase shattered in his head.

Archie got up abruptly, and Rann saw that he didn't seem to be in pain, so he let go.

Archie stood up and picked up the notebook that had fallen on the floor, and the notebook automatically flipped over

The last two pages.

The content of the penultimate page has nothing to do with strangers.

[The only people I'm sorry for are my children and wife, I'm sorry, in the eyes of the people around me, their father is a crazy heretic. I didn't become a good father, a good husband. 】

This sentence, the two players and Rann also saw it, and from this single word, it seemed that the whole picture of the story had been spliced together.

[What a sad story......]

[This is what happens when you become an investigator (bushi]

[So Frank is fully responsible!] 】

Not only did the barrage think so, but the two players also thought so, especially the more emotional matcha custard, who was desperately trying to escape from Frank: "What do you say, Dr. Archie, let's beat him up!" ”

Archie stared at Frank indifferently: "Let him go." ”

Matcha Custard didn't quite understand, but still reluctantly let go.

Frank immediately climbed up and hugged Archie's legs: "I really know it's wrong, I won't do it again, really, I can also pay you back the extorted money!" ”

Archie just looked at him calmly: "Because of your blackmail, I didn't have a good time when I was a child, my mother was sick, but I didn't tell my father, and I didn't go to the hospital, I only found out that she had advanced lung cancer when I was in college and died." ”

"Alright, open your mouth."

Frank sensed something, a flash of deep fear flashed in his eyes, and he leaned back sharply, but was choked by Archie's one-handed hand, forcing his mouth to open wide and the muzzle of the gun to be roughly shoved in.

"Bang!"

The red, red, white and white liquid splashed on the wall, almost affecting Aaron, but Aaron didn't pay any attention to this, and watched in shock as Archie decisively turned out Frank.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a righteous man," Archie curled the corners of his lips self-deprecatingly, "just a lackey of the evil god." ”

Ran's expression: =mouth=

Wait, wait.

He didn't object to killing Frank, after all, it was Archie's own revenge, but why add the latter sentence!

Rann vaguely remembered that Aaron seemed to be still live...... Right?

Rann began to rejoice, but luckily he couldn't see the barrage.

As for the forum...... Well, I can't hear it, I can't hear it, I'll talk about it later.

Archie's pistol is a silenced version, and there is no one living on this floor of this apartment, Matcha Custard stared at Frank's corpse, a little entangled: "What about this?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll have someone take care of it later." At this time, Rann was glad that Cullens's connections came in handy.

Wait, when will he be proficient in accepting this kind of thing! Don't do this kind of thing!

Archie didn't care about the corpse on the ground, and randomly pulled the white cloth that had covered the furniture to wipe the body of the gun clean, until his fingers and the body of the gun were clean, and then he cherished the notebook that fell on the floor again.

He lowered his head and rubbed the last page of the book.

"What's wrong?"

Archie raised his head, met Ran's gaze, and after a moment of confusion, said, "This paper, it seems that there is something wrong. ”

He handed the note to Rann and walked around the room, with an extra lighter in his hand.

Ah Long immediately became excited: "Could it be the method in the TV series?" ”

Archie looked at him inexplicably: "I haven't watched this kind of TV series, but I did this experiment at home with Charlie when I was a child." Using lemon juice or vinegar, the part of the paper that is written becomes a celluloid-like substance through a chemical reaction. They have a lower ignition point than the paper itself, so when baking, the writing area is charred first*"

With that, he took out a lighter from his home, carefully tore the page off his notebook, took a picture of the contents of the note with his mobile phone, and put it on the fire to roast.

Brown-black scorch marks gradually appeared on the paper, and the color gradually became lighter, and it was as red as blood under the reflection of the flames, like a bloody book with weeping blood.

[Beware of the Inspection Bureau!] 】

Ah Long raised his head sharply and looked at the expressions of everyone present, only to see matcha milk green and Al

&nb

sp; Qi was just as shocked as he was, but Ran's expression was a little flattened, and the firelight reflected in his eyes, which were as deep as an abyss.

[You look at Ran's expression, it's not surprising at all]

[Sure enough, he knew that there was something wrong with the Inspection Bureau! 】

Maybe this question has something to do with Ran. 】

[Quite possibly.] 】

"That's all for this." After half a ring, Rann spoke, "This place is not a good place to stay long, we should go back." ”

The player and Archie come back to their senses, Archie's face is gloomy, and the player's eyes can't contain their excitement.

That's big news!

Coupled with the thrilling plot along the way, they already have a premonition that the player forum is going to fry!

Rann called Cullens to clean up the scene, and the three left in Archie's car.

The hint of the completion of the task jumped out, and Aaron and Matcha Custard were not surprised, nodded happily in acceptance, and then continued to stare at Rann with dog eyes.

Ran: "...... I'll look back for you next time I have a mission. ”

But I don't think there will be a next time.

"Okay~" The two players were overjoyed.

Subsequently, at the player's request, Archie placed them on the side of the road before opening them to Rann's psychological clinic.

Before getting out of the car, Rann suddenly remembered something, took out the group photo he had just picked up, and handed it to Archie.

It was a photo of the three of them, and Archie's fingers trembled a little the moment he took it.

The person in the photo is Archie's father, who has the same black hair as Archie, but his eyebrows and eyes look softer, his face is full of stubble, and his sea-blue eyes are bent into crescents towards the camera.

The person who took the photo with him, Archie, was all too familiar, his mother, who passed away when he was in college, and his wife's gentle face was free from the vicissitudes and exhaustion of the later hard work, and her face was full of happy smiles, holding a small baby in her arms.

When Rann got out of the car, he heard a light and precious sentence floating from the driver's seat:

“…… Thank you. ”

……

At this moment, the player forum:

When Rann returned to the psychic clinic and logged into the player forum, he was not surprised to find that there were countless hot posts on it, all of which were discussing the 'plot' that happened today.

"Handsome! Today's battle scene! 》

Rann didn't remember for a moment when there had been such a thing, stared at the headline for a while, and couldn't help but click in.

The video was captured from Aaron's live broadcast, and when Rann clicked in, the video started with the sound of hurried footsteps.

Later, the video just captures a group of murderous men with weapons shooting and rushing towards this side, and the camera spins for a while, when Aaron is kicked into the room by Rann mercilessly.

The next video was shot from his point of view, and the angle problem was that he could only see the doorway, and he could see the fact that the enemy was rushing towards him, and Rann crouched down and skillfully dodged.

The Soul Eater butterfly disguised as an ornament on his body flew up and lightly touched the attacking enemy, Rann didn't look back, as if he already knew the result, calmly and accurately like a scalpel, took two steps down the narrow corridor and grabbed the muzzle of another enemy's gun, deflected the bullet trajectory, and let them hit their teammates, then snatched the gun and knocked out the shooter.

By this time, the flying butterfly had already eliminated all the remaining enemies and landed lightly on Rann's shoulder.

Players have never seen a battle that is so easy to solve.

It's like taking a walk in the park, and you can easily pick the fruit from the tree.

[So handsome, my wife is so handsome! ] 】

[Woo woo handsome cry my wife]

[I originally thought that my wife couldn't fight, so I stood in place, I was wrong, my wife can beat five people. 】

[Wake up, upstairs, ten you won't be a problem.] 】

[Are you underestimating the combat power of the evil god, I will say the number, the population of a city. 】

[It's handsome, yes, but is this the way the evil god should fight?] 】

Rann saw the doubt, but he didn't take it to heart, and then his face darkened, because he finally saw the reason why the player was so easily held hostage in the live stream.

These two guys patronized to watch him fight, and they didn't share any spare light around him, and only after the sound of broken windows did they react in a hurry, and then how was the matcha custard hijacked.

The development behind is the same as before, there should be nothing to see, Rann just wanted to skip this part to see the analysis of the forum (Dihua), but suddenly found that at a certain time, the number of barrages suddenly surged.

Rann:...... A sense of foreboding.

Subsequently, his premonition came true.

Archie clutched his forehead and fell into Ran's arms, Rann knew that he was a reaction to being touched by the sealed memory, but the player didn't know it.

[What's wrong with Archie Cat? 】

[This reaction emmmmptsd?] Or is it cursed or something? 】

[Fragile cat! It's a fragile cat! Cat in the arms of the evil god! 】

[Ah, my wife's arms are mine, draw your sword! ] 】

[Seriously, what's going on?] Archie also said 'don't go']

[I don't know, heh, it's just a trick for men to compete for favor, and I still support Albert who is white and black. 】

[That's all enemies, can you still pull cp? ] 】

[The enemy is more emotional! White cut black mad dog, tune, faith transfer, evil duo hey, hey

[Grass (small face yellow) is really feeling. 】

Then, it was Archie who broke free from the mental suggestion, stood up calmly, and shot Frank.

A trace of blood splattered on Archie's pale cheek, and he wiped it off without much care, and casually pulled out a white cloth to wipe the gun, which naturally seemed to swatt away a fly that was screaming in his ear.

"I'm not a righteous person, I'm just a lackey of an evil god."

[Thank you, I'm cool.] 】

[One thing to say, so handsome (muttering) Rubbing the gun has a kind of cleanliness and abstinence, and it's too extreme. 】

[Archie, my, my, my, woo, woo, woo, new husband! ] 】

[It's been a long time since I've seen an NPC that does things so neatly, I just read the notes and saw that my heart was on fire, and now I'm finally comfortable.] 】

[Thank you Archie +1, if he really lets this Frank go, I'll probably vomit to death.] 】

[Does no one care what Archie just said, he is really a man of evil gods!] 】

[Why, do you know now?] 】

[Nope! I object, baby, you are not a lackey of the evil god, you are obviously the cat of the evil god! Woo woo woo mom doesn't allow you to say yourself dog (dog head)

[The competition in the canine group is too fierce, but the cat is the only pet! ] 】

[Cats and cats are petted! +ID number】

Rann wiped his face and hurriedly turned off the video, no, he would be embarrassed to death if he watched it any longer.

Let's take a look at the players' analysis, this plot reveals so much information, and the reasoning emperors of the forum will definitely not miss it.

As expected, the forum has opened a lot of serious analysis posts, especially the post of the black cat, which is extremely popular on the homepage.

Investigator's Notes – A Buried Past! 》

Black Cat: Hello everyone, meet again! What I bring to you today is also an analysis of the party black cat, first of all, please allow me to cry for a second, how can I always only analyze afterwards ah bastard! I want to be a part of the story! (Fall.)

Black Cat: Okay, I've calmed down, and secondly, let's congratulate the two lucky players (Lemon

Black Cat: Remember the last bloody feast, which was probably the debut of some hostile Rann faction, but we didn't know anything about their existence before, and now this mysterious organization has finally surfaced, and its name is Outlander.

At present, it seems from the notes that the purpose of the Outlander organization is to return to the 'Land of the Existence of the Gods', and I believe that the old players of the running group have thought of something like me, yes, it is a fantasy dream, sealed with many old days, a place full of various ancient gods, I don't know if this 'Land of the Gods Exists' is a similar setting.

This organization believes that it is the Ishunen Garden where humans were born, and that the world in which humans live is a foreign land, and if they want to return to that place, they need to open the door of the earth to the 'land where the gods exist', which is the purpose of the strangers.

Anyway, it's quite novel, and it sounds much more chic than simply summoning an evil god.

Black Cat: So now the question is, why did they target Ran, according to this plot, their purpose seems to be to capture and seal Ran, I boldly speculate that Rann may be from the 'Land of the Gods', and his arrival is inseparable from the stranger, so the stranger will want to capture Rann after knowing about Ran's existence, and Rann is likely to be something similar to 'coordinates' or sacrifice in their plan.

1L: This organization is so bullish? Sacrifice an evil god?

Black Cat: That's why they want to test him, maybe something went wrong when Rann came before, so now he is bound in this body, or sealed or something, so they dare to attack Rann.

Black Cat: We guessed correctly, Rann is indeed the center of this version, he is the whirlpool of this huge conspiracy, I suspect that the main quest is probably to stop the conspiracy of the strangers, and Rann must have a major clue on him that can take on the main quest!

Black Cat: Even, I suspect that the main quest is the confrontation between the forces on Rann's side and the forces of the Outlanders.

5L: Sounds like a real possibility.

6L: Grass, black cat cow batch, I believe you, you have predicted correctly a few times before, follow the big guy.

Black Cat: Secondly, in addition to the main quest, the inspection bureau revealed in the notes, tsk, is simply sure that there is something wrong with this organization! But now this organization hasn't appeared yet.,It should be a follow-up plot.,Maybe it's related to the main line behind.。

Congratulations, once again I was right! But I'm really worried about the world, why is it that even the investigator organization is so virtuous, is it really okay? You don't have to rely on evil gods to save the world!

Aaron: Good slot.

7L: Black cat, black cat, what do you think of the 'Dream Gap' in the note? Rann and Archie discussed it while they were in the car.

Black Cat: I think this may be a power system unique to NPCs, just like the level of monsters is measured by C-level to S-level, and there are also levels of this special ability between NPCs.

I don't know if it will be open to players in the future, especially since they said that the second layer of the Dream Gap seems to be to overcome madness? hhhh sounds like a test of 'state of mind', and I don't know how we're going to go if it's open to players, it feels special and fun!

Black Cat: Finally, let me be a little lyrical, I admire the investigator who wrote this notebook, really, he is the image of the investigator in my mind, silent, persistent, tireless in his quest for the truth, with a sense of justice and never despairing.

There is no one more suitable to be called the light of humanity than him, although he has been knocked down by life, he has never wavered in his principles, and has always adhered to his own humanity.

Finally, the spirit of the investigator lives on! The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage!

Druid: And, of course, there's the ending of either death and madness (dog head

Black Cat: (laughs and cries) yes, we investigators can't die well.

Black Cat: Ironically, the investigator's son has also joined the Evil God camp (chokehold), and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Druid: It's not necessarily a bad thing, since there's something wrong with the Inspectorate, why can't the evil gods save the world (dog head

Black Cat: Let's take a look at the follow-up plot development, the identity of the NPC that has appeared recently is so complicated, since there is a problem with the Inspection Bureau, Albert's identity feels like a dense cloud again, does he know the problem of the Inspection Bureau, which side he will stand on next, and who is the mysterious black-haired man, I feel that Rann seems to be very wary of him.

Black Cat: Anyway, let's look forward to the main plot later! I must stick to Ran's side this time, and never leave qwq:,,.
