Staring directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

This should be it.

After checking the house number in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction before paying.

Considering that time was precious, he didn't waste any time after coming out of the police station and went straight to the address he got from Stan.

After all the prodding just now, although some information was obtained from Stan, in order to maintain his composure, he had to pretend to be inscrutable, so the information obtained was actually very trivial.

What can be determined so far is that Stan is undoubtedly related to the corpse in the storage room, and there is even a high probability that it was him who did it, and Joseph knew about it.

But what exactly happened at that time and why it happened are not yet certain.

In addition, I am also not sure whether these will be useful in escaping.

Maybe you can give yourself some answers here.

Fu Qian thought while trying to push.

The door opened and was unlocked.

Inside was an ordinary house that looked like it had been unoccupied for a while. Everything was messy and there were footprints on the ground.

Sure enough, Chief Stan has already arrived.

It's not surprising that he muttered to himself before paying.

The footprints on the ground obviously belong to more than one person. Coupled with the exaggerated messiness, it is obvious that the door has been left unlocked for a long time and has been visited repeatedly by thieves and the like.

According to the strange laws of this world, everyone, after being prompted, takes it for granted that the lock can only be opened by a key, so there is no possibility of picking the lock.

It is relatively rare for a person to leave home without locking the door.

Most likely, someone came later with the key and left it unlocked on purpose.

Fu Qian thought while looking around.

Sheriff Stan is undoubtedly very qualified.

First of all, if a person dies, the key will most likely fall into the hands of the person who killed him.

In addition, Stan not only knew the address, but when faced with his own request to inspect the relics, he suggested that he not mention the key at all after coming here, as if he was sure that he could enter the house.

As for why you deliberately left the door unlocked and covered up the traces left behind, the best way is to involve more people.

If you don't lock the door after you leave, there will be no traces left over time.

In fact, this idea is very successful. I don’t know how many times it has been read here.

At first glance, there is almost nothing of value visible.

But that's for other people.

After looking around, Fu Qian's eyes quickly fell on a desk.

Things on the table were equally messy, including the drawers that had been pulled out.

Stepping forward, he picked up a notebook from the table.

It's very thin and the workmanship is ordinary. It's something you can easily buy in a stationery store.

The only special thing is that there is a very simple lock on one side of the notebook.

[Locked, need a key to open]

I tried it before paying and soon received the expected prompt.

Presumably this is the reason why it has not been opened. It seems to be of little value, and few people will go around looking for the key for it.

Seeing that this kind of lock was too simple, I found a piece of wire and opened it in a few seconds.

"...It's a very special place. They seem to have a special brain circuit. They think that a locked place cannot be opened, and they never question why..."

After opening it, there was something like a diary inside.

The address is "they".

Fu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and continued reading.

"...I even asked my classmates, what should I do if I lose my key? They told me that I can only get a replacement key, but the procedure will be very cumbersome, and I was advised to keep it..."

"...It's weird, but one thing is clear, that is, now I only need the simplest lock to keep the secrets...and after I leave, I only need to throw away the key, and these will become permanent Untouchable information, quite interesting..."

"...Things have become difficult to understand. I have completed one mission after another. The content is very simple and not difficult, but there is always the next one waiting for me..."

"...I confirm that I have done nothing wrong, but I feel like I am in a whirlpool. The involvement is getting deeper and deeper, and there is no sign of an end in sight. I have never encountered such a thing..."

"... I'm a little hesitant. For example, should I try to fail the mission and see what the reaction will be? But wouldn't that be a failure... Just hold on, come on Edlar..."

Knew it!

Seeing this, Fu Qian let out a long sigh.

What has been speculated for a long time has finally been confirmed today.

It was obvious that this note was written by a senior, and as expected, he had died behind that strange door.

From the notes, we can clearly feel his novelty from the beginning to his uneasiness later on.

There is no date on the front of the notes, but they all have a number.

There are jumps in the middle of the numbers, which are not completely regular. By the time of the self-doubt period, the number next to it has reached 12.

Take a guess before you pay that this may be the number of tasks completed.

It should be that this person subconsciously counted the tasks after realizing that he could not escape.

At the same time, it can be seen from the contents of the note that this man named Edlar should not have received the prompt to escape from the incinerator, otherwise there should not be any doubts as to why it has not been completed.

As for why he didn't receive the reminder, before paying, it seemed that the reason had actually been written in the notes - he had completed any task.

In other words, he has never experienced the situation of losing san value due to mission failure.

It seems that the containment condition prompt needs to drop san to trigger it.

This is the importance of skepticism!

Fu Qian was very emotional for a while.

Although I didn't have any evidence to prove that anything was abnormal at the time, I didn't want to be too passive and chose to fail the mission.

Facts have proved that his subconscious behavior was correct.

In fact, it was impossible for Edlar to receive the prompt later, because he had already experienced at least twelve missions.

According to previous experience, when the punishment increases exponentially, if he tries to deliberately fail the mission at this time, the san value to be deducted is already an astronomical figure, and there is a high probability that he will go crazy.

When he was hesitating whether to try and make mistakes, he actually had no room for error.

In addition, according to this person's description, the tasks he received did not seem to be very difficult.

This reminded Fu Qian of his first mission.

Thinking about it, if I complete it as required and don't expose the teacher-student sadomasochistic relationship, there may not be those involvements later, and the difficulty of the task will plummet.

This is a path I have never chosen.

Having said that, the name Edlar always seemed a bit familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

After briefly searching the memory, he quickly remembered where it was - Medea's pile of photos.

One of her former lovers seemed to have this name.
