Chapter 57: The Quiet Detective Agency

After a brief conversation with Yu Qing and saying goodbye, Yao Yan sorted out Mu Zhongheng's memories while beginning to understand the worldview of this trial space in all aspects.

The results of the actual investigation were no different from the judgment Yao Yan made through his memory.

The worldview of this trial space was the appearance of the world before the great disaster when he was alive.

A "modern" world with high-rise buildings, roads and railways, satellite networks, and television and movies.

No, the word "modern" does not correspond to this environment from Yao Yan's own perspective.

Should it be called "21st century"?

Or "Internet information age"?

But compared to other things, this familiar and unfamiliar world still evoked a lot of his memories.

The city he was in was at the level of a third- or fourth-tier city before the great disaster when he was alive, except that three universities were located in the same city, which was rarely seen in third- or fourth-tier cities.

There was a mountain in the northwest of this city and a lake in the southeast.

The reason why he could not leave his body was undoubtedly due to the influence of the worldview of this world.

And more importantly, his ability.

Except for his original "rumor" ability, all other abilities have been transformed into coins.

He wants to use his abilities.

After looking at the phone in his right hand, Yao Yan turned his sight to the three crow coins in his left hand.

However, an important question is

What is the relationship between the trial space of Buzhou Mountain and "Crow Paradise"?

Is his restriction related to the simple, skilled, difficult, and hell modes of "Crow Paradise"?

If it does correspond, he should be careful.

Because in hell mode, the player's "phenomenon card" can only be used once.

In other words, if this trial space is related to the hell mode of Crow Paradise, then he can't "experiment" casually.

Otherwise, after using it once, the ability cannot be used a second time in this world.

But it doesn't seem to match.

Because the difficulty of the hell mode of "Crow Paradise" only allows one phenomenon card to be carried.

And now, including the original "rumor", he carries 4.

Is it "difficult"? In comparison, although the number of phenomenon cards that can be carried may be reduced in the difficult mode, it may not be reduced. Basically, it limits the number of times the ability can be used.

But this does not seem to match.

Or rather, it has not matched from the beginning.

In the difficult mode, players are only allowed to bring in the number of phenomenon cards of the corresponding level.

According to previous speculation, player level 1 corresponds to the real level, and player level 2 corresponds to the effect level. The total number of phenomenon cards he can have is 4, and the number he can carry into the game is 2.

But now he has brought in 4, including his own "rumors". Even if "rumors" are not counted, it should be 3.

It does not match.

If it completely corresponds to the rules of "Crow Paradise", then this trial space should correspond to the "normal" difficulty.

Because the normal difficulty will increase the upper limit of the number of cards that can be carried by 1 to 2.

But, this is where the problem lies.

What is the relationship between the trial space and "Crow Paradise".

In the case of no confirmation, he can only gain experience through trial and error.

But if there is a connection, his "trial and error" must be cautious and careful to avoid waste, which may lead to a crisis.

After thinking for a moment, he left the place and left the student activity center.

One day, two days, three days.

What surprised Yao Yan was that he had been acting as Mu Zhongheng for three days, but he had never investigated any situation that was similar to the description at the time of introduction.

He had never encountered any "carnival feast".

Such an encounter, such a peaceful life, and the days of writing scripts and playing detective games with other members of the writing literature club and the detective novel lovers club every other day, a total of ten days had passed.

Nothing strange happened, and he did not find any events on the Internet that could match the "carnival feast".

While wondering what the situation was in this world and this trial space, Yao Yan moved towards the student activity center and the location of the literature club.

Arriving at the door of the literature club, Yao Yan once again sorted out Mu Zhongheng's personality and value sequence, and while keeping life as the first sequence, he adjusted his own value standards to try not to reveal any flaws.

With a smile on his face, Yao Yan pushed open the door and walked into the club room of the literature club.

When he walked in, he saw three people, one man and two women.

"I think the island mode is not necessary."

"No, no, no, the significance of the island mode, for the author himself, is to avoid too much external interference when an event occurs, thereby controlling the variables."

"As for the readers, the island mode prevents the intervention of forces such as the police. This isolated environment can avoid some possible strong logical breakdowns."

"After all, once the violent organs intervene, the relevant groups will be controlled and moved, and under the constraints of professional violent organs, the murderer will not continue to kill."

"In this case, more professional forensic doctors and criminal investigators will replace the protagonists and directly push the story to the end."

"The core of detective mystery novels lies in the murder method and the process of committing crimes, the investigation and exposure of their methods and the obstruction encountered in the process. These are the key plots."

"If there is no island mode, then the level of these violent organs representing social order needs to be lowered."

"Moving forward in time, setting the environment in an era with a relatively low level of technology is also a method."

When Yao Yan came in, the three were discussing enthusiastically.

Seeing him come in, the president of the literature club, the girl with a high ponytail who was talking just now, stopped and greeted him with a smile:

"Lao Mu, come here, what do you want to say?"

Yao Yan sat down at the huge table that could seat 16 or 17 people, glanced at the books on the table, and then said:

"I think the core point of detective novels is the author."

"As we all know, the author's intelligence and expression level determine the upper limit of detective novels."

Hearing this, the three of them smiled.

Yao Yan also continued:

"The biggest gap between authors and readers is the information gap. A mystery novel author who is good at using the information gap can use this information gap to write a script that does not require much intellectual elements into a high-level intellectual battle script."

"In the modern stage, various technologies have helped criminal investigation and increased the upper limit of criminal investigation clues. Ordinary detectives do not have these props. The easiest way to achieve this is to reduce the strength of these "detective opponents", but if it is too abrupt, the script will naturally appear stiff."

"So going back in time, reducing the level of technology is the best method."

"If this method is not used, then the strategy that can be chosen is easier -"

"First, let this detective have the same or even better technology than the "opponent."

"A technology The company's rich man himself or his acquaintances secretly work as detectives? "

"Second, it is to create a background that will "theoretically" surpass the "opponent." "

"For example, an artificial intelligence robot?"

When saying this, the three people laughed out loud:

"Muzhong, don't mix your own opinions into it just because you are an artificial intelligence major."

"How can the current level of artificial intelligence be applied to criminal investigation?"

"Without reality as a basis, your artificial intelligence will become a mechanical deity like an alien detective or a mind-reading superpower detective. No, no, no."

"Could it be possible to write a detective novel with the future as the background?"

ps: Off topic, even if I now know why I thought detective novel authors were so great when I was a child, I still sincerely think that those suspense and mystery novel authors are great.

After all, knowing and doing are two different things.

After all, I am the kind of rookie author who knows why but can't do it.
