Chapter 6 Fantasy world can still be reasoned with
A man who is not handsome to a certain extent will never know how crazy and proactive a woman can be.
What about being filled with love letters in his drawer when he was in school, or about how when he was in middle school, all his subject teachers were suddenly replaced by beautiful women, etc., these are all basic things.
The most outrageous thing is that the memory told Mark that once when the damn guy opened the stall in the men's room, he was shocked to find a beautiful girl waiting for him with a silly smile...
If you are handsome to a certain extent, you can really do whatever you want sometimes.
On the contrary, it is easy to attract the hatred of male compatriots.
From middle school to university, he had received letters for duels frequently. Often, those guys who sent out invitations to duels would be dealt with by the female knights and ladies in the [Mark Support Group] before the fight broke out.
When Mark told the night watchman this fact in a calm and troubled tone, the expressions of the three night watchmen were very wonderful.
Even if they knew that Mark was really innocent, they still had the urge to beat Mark.
This guy is so handsome that people hate him.
But what can they do with Mark?
After Mark finished talking about his situation, Galian stood up and said, "Okay, we know the situation. Just feel free to be protected and wait for the news."
"How long do I have to wait?"
"It depends on when the madman is caught."
Mark hesitated for a moment, but then asked: "Can I... see the files of other victims?"
"Why?" The three night watchmen looked directly into his eyes.
Mark suddenly smiled bitterly: "I'm like a little bee locked in a glass bottle. I can see the light but not the future."
The poetic answer was full of anguish and a strong sense of despair.
If there wasn't that damn music box, maybe Mark could put himself in 'safety' and wait for the night watchman to solve the case. But now there is a music box on the surface, and there is a murderer secretly trying to trap him.
This is not good.
As a person who likes to control his destiny in his own hands, Mark always takes the initiative in everything he does.
The three night watchmen looked at each other and nodded.
A few minutes later, a large number of files were brought over.
The Night Watchman is actually also curious to see what clues this college student who studies occult science can come up with. After all, the profession of occultism and the Night Watchman are old acquaintances. Many occult scholars will also be hired into the Church of the Night with high salaries.
In front of the night watchman, Mark opened the cowhide bag of the file and read it one by one.
With the help of the memory of the original owner, he is self-taught in the new foreign language [Leyte] without any teacher.
There are three dossiers in total:
Victim John Cannon: Male, 27 years old, dock worker, upright and a good brother among workers. Four days ago, because the boss announced that he would extend working hours by one hour without pay every day, John directly led others to beat up the boss.
.Three days ago in the morning, it seemed that he was accidentally entangled in the propeller behind a broken ship that was being repaired in the dock, and he was quartered on the spot.
The victim, Andy Naston, male, 23 years old, was an accountant at an accounting firm. He was outgoing and had many friends. He was known as the number one drunkard in the West District and was known as the man who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. He was found drowned two days ago.
Died in a tavern barrel.
The victim, Pence* Dupont, male, 26 years old, is the legitimate son of the owner of DuPont Bank, a widely expected rising star in the business world. He is the proud son of heaven in the eyes of young people. Yesterday he took several accountants to count money in the vault of his bank.
At that time, he was suddenly crushed to death by the falling gold bricks.
Hundreds of thousands of people die every year in the Wright Empire due to car accidents and other accidents. Under normal circumstances, these three cases would most likely end in accidental death.
However, this cultist always issued criminal notices before succeeding.
The night watchman receives the notice from an ignorant newsboy or messenger and rushes to the scene as soon as possible, often only having time to collect the body.
This rational but crazy pervert uses this method to play tricks on the night watchman.
Seeing this, Mark looked up and asked: "If it is an ordinary murderer, why not leave it to the police?"
The night watchman silently handed over three files.
Mark narrowed his eyes: "That makes sense."
The three victims respectively believed in the God of Storms, the God of Wine, and the God of Wealth, and were rising stars in their respective churches.
Mark himself...well, the damn parents are no longer here, but the original owner also has a grandfather and second uncle who belong to the Church of Light. In my impression, his status is not high, just at the level of a small town pastor. He is in the Church of Light after all.
Called a number.
In addition, he has several cousins.
By the way, that lunatic offended four churches at once, does he really deserve to be a cult?
Putting down the file, Mark rubbed his eyebrows.
Although it incorporates memory, he is still dominated by modern people's thinking. As a master of keyboard reasoning and a lover of detective novels who was born in the era of more developed information, he prefers to peel off the cocoons in the files to chew on the details that are not easy to detect.
Judging from the advance notice, it is definitely not a crime of passion.
[Crime of Passion] is an explosive, short-lived criminal act committed in a relatively violent emotional state, usually as a stress response after being adversely stimulated by the external environment.
Foretelling murders and leaving the orthodox church helpless is itself a kind of evil showoff!
Mark tentatively asked: "Excuse me, are there any special conditions and requirements for cult career advancement?"
Gallian said coldly: "No comment."
Mark shrugged: "Even if the night watchman refuses to reveal it, I can generally guess the other party's bad intentions. The three victims, plus me, basically are affected by the [abnormalities] of whichever party they believe in."
Damn. It’s not written in the file. It’s probably because the three-party churches covered up their own strange demons or anomalies.”
Night Watchman: "..."
Mark's eyes became sharp: "Through the elimination method, ignore the major sins such as [Gluttony] with obvious characteristics. Then there is only one answer - [Jealousy]!"
Don't listen to what Mark said so categorically and conclusively. His heart is actually beating a drum.
The Light Cult didn't even notice the existence of the music box even for a powerful person like Albert, so he could only take a gamble.
Now, he is just using his maximum thinking speed to grasp the changes in the situation as much as possible and make more efficient decisions.
The biggest key is that he wants to do a test that is not too big or too small.
With a thought in his mind, he threw out the [Twenty-sided Dice].
It is not used to determine the fate of a certain event, but for 'divination'.
The attempt was successful.
The dice, invisible to others, rolled on the ground and finally landed on the number [12].
Mark's heart tightened first and then relaxed.
In the game, the upper limit of 20 points is 12 points. As long as you don't run into the boss in the Novice Village, it is enough in most cases.
What does this mean?
The general direction is correct, but the details need to be improved?
But Mark noticed that the light on the dice seemed to be dimming a little bit. This was not a good sign. He knew that he had to do something.
Anyway, I got support from metaphysics.
This gave Mark the confidence.
At this time, all the night watchmen looked stern at the same time.
Gallian said in a deep voice: "Reason?"
"It's a very simple reason - why is it that you are the only one who is the best when everyone is outstanding?"
Well, this important sentence should actually be said twice.
Mark continued: "Excluding the specific conditions required for the promotion ceremony, if you want to gain the favor of the cult's senior leaders, you must fully demonstrate your evil wisdom. Nothing can attract the attention of senior leaders more than playing tricks on the entire Night's Watch organization in public."
Alas! I didn’t expect that even a cult in a different world would become so involved that I had to work hard to get to the top.
The world is really in decline.
Galian pondered for a moment: "Well, if it's [jealousy] according to what you said, then what is this evil demon jealous of? We don't think there are any similarities between the four of you. After all, your origins, religious backgrounds, and social circles
They are all different.”
Mark slowly raised the four fingers of his right hand.
"Well, it's true that the four of us don't know each other. But in the world, disputes and comparisons between men are often inseparable from money, alcohol, anger, and sex!" At the end of the sentence, Mark pointed his index finger at his own face.
With a handsome face that all men would envy, he spread his hands.
Gallian's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle's eye. He must have realized it. The other two night watchmen's eyes widened and they clenched their fists excitedly.
At a young age, Pence has wealth that rivals that of the country. He is [wealth].
Andy, who never gets drunk after a thousand cups, is naturally [wine].
Of course John was [angry] when he was able to stand up for the worker brothers and beat up the boss violently.
Finally, who says male lust is not [sexuality]?
Wealth, wine, energy, and sex all work together directly.
Rather than resorting to reckless means to directly kill the object of one's envy, jealousy and hatred, one uses a despicable conspiracy to trap the object of one's jealousy to death. In the [Jealousy] Church, what other superior performance is more recognized by the cult leader than this?
?
When Mark told him all the calculations, the three night watchmen were all breathing heavily.
That's because of excitement.
Admittedly, as a night watchman who specializes in fighting evil spirits, his lack of wisdom in this case is a bit embarrassing.
But this case involves four major orthodox churches, and they are under greater pressure to solve the case.
So what if the calculation is wrong?
It's better than having a black eye now.
No matter what, Mark is just an ordinary person, and it is up to them to actually kill the cultists. They will get most of the credit afterwards.
Compared with the embarrassment, the great achievement of solving the case is more real.
Mark added more fuel to the fire.
"Most of the target people are from poor families, have poor drinking habits, never dare to disobey their bosses or get angry with others, and are good-looking losers who disturb the appearance of the city." He generously held up the hot black tea that the night watchman had given him before, feeling comfortable.
He took a sip and said: "For my lovely freedom. If you can guarantee my safety, I am willing to put on a good show for the cultist hiding in the dark and tell him that I will gather the four major elements of [wealth, wine, complexion]
What kind of existence is a great man who has all the advantages in one body."
Several night watchmen had the urge to beat Mark up on the spot, but after the success, Mark's little beauty was simply ignored.
Gallian's eyes were sharp: "As long as you can fish that guy out, we can kill him!"
"Deal." Mark smiled smartly: "Then, I can continue to be a quiet and handsome man."
