Chapter 518 Incinerator (twenty-three)
This should be it.
He checked the house number in front of him and nodded with satisfaction before paying.
Considering that time was precious, he did not 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 incomprehensible, 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 myself.
Maybe you can give yourself some answers here.
Fu Qian thought while trying to push.
The door opened in response and was not locked.
Inside was an ordinary house. It looked like no one had lived in it 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 with the key later and deliberately left it unlocked when they left.
Fu Qian thought while looking around.
Chief Stan is undoubtedly very qualified.
First of all, if a person is killed, the keys on his body 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 leaving, any traces will disappear 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 before paying, his eyes quickly fell on a desk.
Things on the table were equally messy, including the drawers that had been pulled out.
He stepped forward and picked up a notebook from the table before paying.
It's very thin, the workmanship is ordinary, and 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. For an item that seems to be of little value, not many people will go around looking for the key for it.
Since this kind of lock is too simple, I just found a piece of wire before paying, and it took a few seconds to open it.
"...It's a very special place. They seem to have a special brain circuit. They think that as long as a locked place is locked, it 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 task 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 it is like being in a whirlpool, getting more and more involved, 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 a little longer, come on Edlar..."
Knew it!
Seeing this, I sighed deeply before paying.
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 paying which may be the number of tasks completed.
It should be that this person subconsciously counted the tasks after realizing that he couldn't 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 his notes - he had completed every task.
In other words, he has never experienced a situation where the mission failed and the san value was lost.
It seems that the containment condition prompt requires dropping San to trigger it.
This is the importance of skepticism!
I was very emotional for a while before paying.
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 just chose to fail the mission.
Facts have proved that my subconscious behavior was correct.
In fact, it is impossible for Edlar to receive prompts later on, because he has 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 that will 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, maybe there won't 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, I quickly remembered where it was before paying - the pile of photos of Medea.
One of her former lovers seemed to have this name.
