Staring directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

The penalty for failing this mission actually increases exponentially?

In the darkness, Fu Qian was silent for a few seconds after confirming the loss of his sanity.

I have to say that the cost of doing the opposite this time was much higher than expected.

At the same time, in these few seconds, all the tasks along the way flashed through Fu Qian's mind, allowing him to quickly guess a possibility.

Not counting escaping from the incinerator, this happened to be my sixth mission after entering.

When the first task failed, the san value was only reduced by 1 point.

According to the simplest algorithm to find the rule, if the failure penalty of each task is doubled, then the sixth task will be exactly 32 points.

Not good news!

I sighed for a while before paying.

It's not even that it accumulates with failure, but that the punishment increases exponentially regardless of success or failure.

If this rule is followed, the penalty for failing the next mission will be 64.

[The current mission has been updated, escape from Sheriff Stan’s pursuit until dawn]

Just when I thought of this, new task instructions appeared in my mind.

Sheriff Stan, was he the one who led his own arrest?

Facing the new task prompt, I thought deeply before paying.

There is no doubt that the content of the tasks will continue to change with the situation.

If I had chosen to surrender beforehand, my next mission would definitely not be this, but something like clearing myself from suspicion.

It was still a long time before dawn, but thanks to myself abandoning the car in advance and walking, I still gained some time.

But without a car, it means that the radius of his activities is greatly reduced.

After Sheriff Stan's people discovered that they had abandoned the car, they would most likely set up checkpoints around the area and then start a blanket search.

Even so, I am confident that I can handle it before paying.

Now he was concerned with another question - why?

Why is this Sheriff Stan so eager to find him?

There must be a special reason for such a violent reaction.

If the penalty for mission failure really increases exponentially, then there is no doubt that the further you go, the lower your error tolerance will be.

The 32 san points just now have been lost, and my current san index is only 185 points, which means that I can fail at most one more time. If I fail in any remaining tasks, I will become an idiot.

There is not much time left for yourself!

Therefore, it is not enough to complete the task. We must use this time to find a way to leave the incinerator as soon as possible.

It has been analyzed before that the probability of the police responding so quickly simply because of Joseph's incident is very small.

There must be other reasons why he was targeted by Chief Stan.

And since I don't have many memories, after thinking about it, I can think of only one thing that might be a problem - the body in the door of the storage room.

This Sheriff Stan knows about the corpse and has been keeping an eye on it secretly?

Do you suspect that you and Daniel may have discovered the body behind the door, that's why you had such a violent reaction?

Fu Qian silently pondered this possibility.

If it is true, it can only be said that the people in this place have so many secrets!

While sighing, another police car drove up not far ahead and slowly stopped on the side of the road.

Under the streetlight, a middle-aged man with a thin face got out of the back seat of the police car.

Although his hair was already a little gray, his eyes were extremely sharp as he looked around.

Is this Chief Stan?

Looking at the uniform on the middle-aged man, Fu Qian hid his body in the darkness.

The latter looked around and found nothing, and finally went upstairs surrounded by others.

It's been a long night for Medea!

Looking at the actions of a group of people, Fu Qian thought to himself.

This person appears here, obviously to find Medea, and there is a 99% chance that he wants to find his whereabouts from her.

In fact, if he followed the instructions exactly, he should be waiting for him up there right now.

After stepping on it, Fu Qian confirmed that the wound was not too much of a hindrance and left slowly along the shadow.

He had nothing to worry about on Medea's part, neither she nor Daniel knew much about him.

What's more, because of the previous incident, Medea must have tried her best to cover it up, and there was a high probability that she wouldn't be too honest.

For myself, the first thing to do now is undoubtedly to stay away from this area as much as possible before the blockade.

But this is far from enough. Considering that this may be the only fault tolerance rate you have, you must find a way to confirm more information.

In fact, for this point, I already had an idea before paying.

As the saying goes, fish in troubled waters. If you want to expose more information, you must first muddy the water.

After quietly sneaking out for a distance in the darkness, Fu Qian reached out and stopped a taxi and reported his address.

The taxi driver was a bald man. After squinting his eyes at Fu Qian, he finally motioned for him to get in the car.

"This is it."

After a while, Fu Qian motioned to the driver to park the car at a hidden spot on the roadside.

After paying the fare, he took out two extra bills and handed one to the driver.

"Wait for me here. I'll be out in fifteen minutes."

"Just fifteen minutes."

The driver took the banknote and looked up at the buildings on the roadside.

He obviously didn't like Fu Qian's tone. But the charm of banknotes is endless.

"very good."

He didn't say much before paying and just opened the door and got out of the car.

Of course, he didn't just pick a place to run away. The building not far away was the home of classmate Daniel.

This was specifically confirmed before paying when we were walking around after dinner.

At this moment, you can imagine that Daniel's family must be very busy.

So after getting off the car, Fu Qian didn't really come to disturb him. Instead, he found a position in the blind spot of the driver's field of vision and hid his figure.

Ten minutes later, Fu Qian saw the lights of the taxi that had taken him over and drove away without hesitation.

Obviously, considering that he did not go out on time, the driver was not prepared to wait any longer.

That should be almost it.

Fu Qian nodded and thought to himself.

Taking a taxi to escape was only a matter of time before someone was caught.

He had no intention of hiding this from the police. In fact, he did it just to let them find out.

In the current situation, when Sheriff Stan asked the bald driver, the feedback he got was almost as you can imagine-

"Yes, I did drive such a person."

"When he arrived at his destination, he asked me to wait for him for fifteen minutes and said he would be out soon. Unfortunately, no one was there when the time came, so I drove away first."

When any normal person hears such a description, his reaction is obvious - he has contacts with Daniel's family, visits him late at night, and then never comes out again.

Once Sheriff Stan accepts this setting, it will be time to test the strength of the Daniel family.

There are a lot of things going on as the end of the year approaches, so I’m sorry that I only have one update today.
