Chapter 3196 The Detective Is About to Die (Twenty-One)

Chapter 3170 The Detective is about to die (Twenty-one)

Another piece of evidence that made Schiller feel that his speculation was correct was that the Wanderer had never attacked directly.

If the corpse stood up and waved its claws and teeth twice, even if it attacked, then this monster would not have the ability to kill three people in a row, not to mention that the corpse's two movements were not very good, and no one was injured at all.

So how did the three victims in the cabin die? It is worth discussing.

At this time, Schiller thought that although they seemed to see each other at the same time, did they really arrive at the same time?

Is it possible that someone actually arrived at the cabin before the others and did something, and then pretended to have just arrived when the others came.

The key is whether the way they arrived is really like in the game, appearing out of thin air, or is it like in the cutscene, where the system controls people to walk into a certain place.

If it is the latter, then there is enough time for the people who arrived earlier to prepare, and everything he saw after opening his eyes may have been arranged by others in advance.

Too many thoughts lingered in Schiller's mind. He tried to find doubts in everything he experienced, as if he felt that there were many doubts in every thing, but he could not find very favorable evidence.

Schiller went back to think from the motivation.

If this was really just a very ordinary little village, then no one would care whether the people here were dead or alive. Some people would definitely add some extraordinary things to this little village to make their motivation more reasonable when they were making up their own background stories.

For example, it was once a gathering place for a cult, there had been some chemical leakage incidents, and some landmark buildings had some mysterious images, etc.

In this way, they could say that they came to investigate these things, and the story would be rounded off.

And they didn't know what stories each other had made up, so it was possible that the above anomalies were superimposed.

Schiller remembered that the opening animation was played first, and then the attribute points and story compilation began. In other words, the only thing that their stories could not affect was the information in the opening animation. After all, it had been shown to everyone, and it was not easy to overturn it.

The opening only gives a few bits of information. A detective comes to this small village to investigate the wanderer, and indeed there is a wanderer.

This information is pitifully little, which means that the story writer has a lot of room to play.

How did the wanderer appear? When did he first appear? What research has humans done on the wanderer? What is the attitude of the villagers towards him?

These are all unknown and can be made up. Even if Schiller doesn't think about it, he can think of several ways to incorporate this information into his background story.

Batman and Greed can't have thought of it.

In other words, whether it is the diary or Madeline's notes, the things introduced on it may not be made by the transcendent, but it is very likely that they are set by someone present.

Including the entire process of the disaster outbreak, such as the missing goat, the crazy family after drinking the goat soup, the detective's invitation to come here, etc., may all be part of someone's background story.

So, why did they set these?

Even if Schiller did not set up his background story well, he could guess the attitude of the transcendent, which is that you can make up whatever you want as long as you can make it consistent. The key is to make it consistent.

For many people, this is actually very difficult, because making up stories is also lying in a sense. People who are not good at lying are rarely good at making up stories. Most writers are born liars.

For example, you set up a person with infinite strength, but when he is brought into the story, he can't even kick a door open. This is obviously a contradiction between the character setting and the performance. If you want to make a good story that is consistent, such a logical contradiction cannot appear.

Assuming that Greedy really made up a story about cultivating immortals, he must explain in detail what is going on.

There are immortals in this world, so how can this weirdness run rampant? How can the human government stand idly by? This is the problem he needs to explain. In order to make up this lie, he has to make up more lies and write a few more stories outside of the story.

In the end, he may have to make up the entire process of human history. Regardless of whether he can make it up or not, there should be a time limit for making up stories for the transcendent. Even if you don't seek precision and only make up an approximate time, it is not possible. This also restricts some settings that are too outrageous.

The diary and Madeline's research notes may be patches made by someone for his own character, in order to supplement what kind of person he is and what kind of world this world is.

Schiller first assumes that his inference is correct, so whose patch is the information recorded in these two notes?

The process of the disaster seems to complete the background story, that is, the experience of this small village, but it seems a bit long-winded, mixed with too many personal emotions.

For example, I can show that the owner of the diary loves fishing, has an ugly appearance, and is not likable, but in times of crisis, the villagers think of him first, he is compassionate and relatively weak, and can invite detectives, which shows that there is a story in the past.

The first time Schiller saw the diary, he sketched in his mind the image of a tough guy who is cold-faced but warm-hearted, independent and free, and has a very extraordinary past.

He remembered very clearly that after reading the diary, his first feeling was that this guy might be a retired clergyman who had once been a big shot in a big city.

Such character creation is undoubtedly very attractive. It can be said that in disaster movies, they are all locals who can live for at least 20 minutes. When they die, they have to use their legendary experiences to encourage the protagonist, or tell some truths.

So this diary may seem to be about the outbreak of a disaster, but it is actually for character creation.

If Schiller's inference is correct, then this is definitely someone using the completed information to gild himself.

And looking at the identities of all the teammates, only the hunter played by Batman fits the image of this tough guy.

Schiller still remembers that he saw the animal skins obtained through hunting everywhere in the cabin at first glance. If the owner of the diary is really a person who only knows how to fish, then this animal skin can't be bought from Amazon, right?

The hunter played by Batman in the main universe is actually the owner of the diary?

Continuing to think about it, the notebook in Madeline's hand seems to be her research results. It introduces to everyone in detail what the so-called weirdness is, as if it completes the setting of the weirdness.

But it also introduces Madeline's life experience and mentions the tragedy that Madeline's family once experienced.

Apart from Bruce, would anyone really write about their life experience in an academic paper?

Even if it is not from a professional perspective, Schiller feels that if he opens his notebook every day and sees his horrible past, will he still have the mood to do research?

Only enemies would write your most terrible past everywhere, right?

In this way, this part about Madeline's life experience may also be the introduction of a certain character, providing someone with a motivation to come here.

In that tragedy, Madeline's family was almost wiped out, and only she and her youngest sister survived.

If only she survived, it would be a very classic protagonist script, but it is also mentioned that her youngest sister also survived, which should not be a useless clue.

Although the story of Madeline's family was not seriously written in the notes, it can be inferred from common sense that she and her sister should depend on each other and their relationship is not bad.

The elder sister came to such a remote village for research. The snow blocked the mountain. It is estimated that she has been missing for several days. Her younger sister must come to find her.

There are no female teammates among Schiller's teammates, but it is very likely that someone has some relationship with this younger sister, such as her boyfriend, or someone she hired to find her sister.

Based on Madeline's age, the most likely person is Bruce. Although he likes to pretend to be young, he is indeed the youngest here. The Pale Knight is also a possibility. Schiller does not know his specific age, but he looks young and has a decent job.

In this case, the motives of about 2~3 people are clearer.

According to the consistent style of Batman in the main universe, he must save the village, so he set himself the identity of a tough local man. Such an identity is the most legitimate to save the village.

Bruce or the Pale Knight may come to find Madeline, but it is not ruled out that he knows that Madeline will die, so he wants to inherit her will and avenge Madeline's family.

The remaining identities and motives are still unclear, especially greed. Schiller is sure that he has a lot of bad intentions and definitely has no intention of doing anything good. If he says he is a rich second-generation, he is not joking. He is very likely to come here for business or political games to eliminate dissidents.

The painter played by the Joker is also very confusing. This identity is somewhat like a hermit, and people can't figure out why he came here.

There are also the police of Night Owl. Just now, Jeff and Night Owl confronted each other head-on. The two obviously didn't know each other, which proves that either one of them is an outsider or both are outsiders.

But Jeff just said that they are outsiders, which means that Jeff is a local, which can infer that Night Owl is not a local policeman, at least not the sheriff of this village.

Thinking of this, Schiller remembered that if the hunter played by Batman in the main universe is a local, then why didn't Jeff recognize him?

Oh, wait, Schiller put down the bread in his hand and turned to look at the main universe Batman lying there. He was not lying face up, but lying on his stomach with his face facing the wall. Jeff might not have failed to recognize him, but simply did not see his face.

Assuming that the hunter played by the main universe Batman is really a hero who wants to save the village, then he is lying here half dead, is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?

Schiller couldn't help but look up at Greed.

Hehehe
