Chapter 23 Noteworthy Hidden Details

Of course, Chen Chi wouldn't give up because of this little setback. For him, the game was still in the warm-up stage, and it was really boring to play shit games that weren't difficult.

The current tactical retreat is just because an unsolvable problem has arisen. This apparent instant-death mechanism cannot be met head-on. It can only temporarily avoid the edge. Anyway, the time limit is not over yet.

The car did not stop, and drove away the Ashbringer's almost completely skeletal body, quickly disappearing into the night.

The second defeat made the morale of the team very low, and Meg couldn't recover from the shock of witnessing the mystery for a long time.

"The one just now..."

"Well, you read that right, but it's best not to tell anyone else." Chen Chi said casually, "There will be men in black coming to you after the incident is over. Remember not to blink when they press the flash, otherwise there will be sequelae."

"……understood."

Meg's stomach full of questions was suppressed, and he just returned to the hiding place in the town.

Chen Chi parked the truck at the door of the backyard, opened the door and got out of the truck, and Cross and Joliot also jumped out.

The rope that bound Rocky had long been untied, and he seemed a little lost, as if he was still worried about leaving his teammates behind and running away.

But he also knew very well that everyone was in danger just now, and no one could be sure whether the other party could still use that scream full of abnormal states in an instant, so he didn't blame Chen Chi for making the choice, but felt a little sorry.

"Why can you be so decisive? I don't mean to blame you, I'm just curious."

The two of them didn't turn their heads, and were not interested in answering the newbie's doubts, but Chen Chi was very enthusiastic. After all, this is a human radar, and he had to give it a good job before it was used up.

"Do you really want to know? The answer may not be what you expect."

"Yes." Rocky nodded vigorously, "I really want to know, and I also want to be as useful as you."

"You are already very useful, but you just didn't meet the right time. The reason why I can be so decisive is that I really treat the apostle game as a game, how about you?"

After saying this, Chen Chi followed the two into the hiding place.

He is not interested in the philosophy of life, he just treats his teammates as NPCs, since he is not familiar with him anyway, he just recruits new ones after he dies.

But Rocky seemed to have misunderstood something, he stopped behind, his eyes slowly changed from puzzlement and confusion to fanatical reverence.

He finally realized his real problem. He was always avoiding it because he was too scared. As a result, the God's Choice feature was completely unable to work. Even if he could pass the level, he was completely dependent on his teammates.

If you can adjust your mentality and face up to the game, maybe you can become such a calm and composed master!
The other party took this burden of his own to break through with difficulty, and instead of complaining, he used this method to encourage him in a roundabout way.

What a hard-hearted, soft-spoken man!
Thinking of this, Rocky couldn't help shouting at Chen Chi's back: "Brother, I will definitely do it!"

"...Huh? Oh, come on, come on."

Chen Chi was baffled by his voice. Although he was not interested in spreading the philosophy of life, it certainly wasn't a bad thing for his teammates to cheer up, so let's leave it alone.

Back at the hiding spot, the two men went to rest first, while Chen Chi took the important tool Sergeant Mag to study together.

"Are these all the relevant case records?" Chen Chi asked, pointing to a stack of documents on the table.

"Yes." Meg nodded, "There were originally two policemen in the town, but the other one was hospitalized due to illness, so I am the only one in charge of law and order for the time being. I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, you just have to help me as much as you can."

After making a worthless promise, Chen Chi invested in a new round of research.

Before, he felt that the first batch of apostles contained the existence of restraining the Ashbringer, but after calming down, he felt that something was wrong, because there were many details in this dungeon, and it didn't look like the kind of combat level that should be.

He didn't get enough evidence to support this theory, and he just made a judgment based on intuition. After all, he has played so many games, and he has some insights into the design concepts of the god and the dung, so he needs to find clues from the case files.

Is there a possibility that this dungeon actually needs to be explored to weaken the boss before killing it?Very likely.

The records in the file were very simple and revealed Mag's unprofessionalism everywhere. Chen Chi quickly discovered some doubts in it.

"Why did the deceased appear in that position in the middle of the night? Moreover, the two were similar in age and lived in the same town. Could they be acquaintances?"

"This..." Meg froze for a moment, "You mean premeditated murder?"

"It's possible." Chen Chi nodded.

Running out of control is like a wild horse running wild. Although there will be various behaviors that do not obey the control, it is still a horse in essence, and it will not become a bird with wings because of losing control. Together, the probability of the person who has a grudge against him being killed will definitely be higher.

However, Chen Chi was just guessing and did not fully understand the loss of control in the Apostle game, so he found a quiet place to land, called the off-site assistance hotline, and briefly analyzed his thoughts.

"Do you think there's something wrong with my thinking?"

[No problem, there are levels of losing control. Some war fanatics can even strengthen their combat power by losing control, and actively enter a violent state in critical moments. 】

"So evil? It seems that there are many people who are good at using the mechanism in the game."

After the idea was verified, Chen Chi's mind suddenly opened up. He did not stop at the hiding spot, but took the police chief to the small town police station and pulled out all the identity information of the two deceased people and the farmer Kurtz. .

It took a little time this time, and with the help of Mag, he found a wounding case that happened two years ago. The victim was one of the two dead, and the suspect was the farmer Kurtz.

The two parties were in an employment relationship, and the content of the dispute was about work. The victim hid in the barn to rest during work. After being discovered by Kurtz, they had an argument and got into a fight. After receiving some compensation, the matter was settled, but another patient patient The police recorded it.

In contrast, Kurtz moved out of the farm two years ago, and the truth was directly in front of the two of them.

"The skeleton man is Kurtz, and only the owner of the farm can disappear without a trace in the police's repeated searches. I suspect that there is a secret passage in the farm, and the location is in the barn. The deceased just wanted to hide in the barn to rest , I didn’t expect to discover a secret passage by accident and learned Kurtz’s secret.”

Chen Chi took advantage of the situation and guessed the truth about the wounding case that year.

"At that time, Kurtz did not have the ability to kill people. The two sides fought hard but failed to resolve the issue. In the end, they reconciled with compensation. Two years later, he reappeared and tried to use this old secret to blackmail Kurtz, resulting in was killed."

"It's not difficult to prove this. Just check this person's credit record. He must be in debt for some reason, so he decided to take a desperate risk and blackmail Kurtz."

After listening to Chen Chi's analysis, Mag immediately ran out to investigate. It was already dawn. With the old police chief's local prestige, it was easy to order a few people.

He quickly got the answer, ran back to the police station, and said breathlessly: "Yes, you guessed it all! Goring used credit cards from different banks to cash back and forth, and tipped all the loans to an Internet anchor , and ended up heavily in debt, and was judged by the court to repay the debt within the time limit, otherwise he would go to jail."

"Are you cashing out just to reward the anchor? Tsk tsk, it's really not worth the money you spent. If you tip me, maybe I can save your life."

Chen Chi picked up the work coffee that Mag had brewed and drank it in one gulp, then stood up and walked ahead.

"It's time to start Watson. We have to go to the farm again. This copy is actually simpler than imagined. The way to break the level is to find the identity of the out-of-control apostle, and then kill him during the day."
