Schiller found a hunting supplies store on the east side of the town, not far from the pier. Unsurprisingly, there was a large stock of weapons. Various types of shotguns were hung on the walls and cabinets.
There are also shiny new bullets inside.
But the bad news is that these shotguns hung on the wall for display cannot be used, but this is normal. Although there are many zero-dollar purchases in big cities in the United States, small villages do not mean safety in case someone rushes in.
The guns hanging on the wall may become a talisman to the gun shop owners during robbery, so they remove key parts from these guns.
The counter was locked, but it was just ordinary glass. Schiller used a crowbar to smash it open. He found some bullets inside that could be used for the original shotgun, but now the gun was no longer in his hand.
The pistol he has has a relatively special bullet type. Gun stores in the United States basically do not sell equipment related to small firearms, because compared to large guns, small guns are better concealed and more suitable for taking to public places.
Assassinations, so the control in this area is relatively strict.
Schiller walked around the store. He was actually looking for a posted notice, because the United States requires legal gun stores to post legal provisions related to the state's gun requirements in the store. As long as he can find the notice, he can be sure that he is now in the store.
Which state.
According to Schiller's speculation, it should be in several states close to Canada. The police uniform worn by Night Owl is a bit like the New Jersey police uniform, but the details are different. However, Schiller has never heard of such a uniform in New Jersey.
place.
After searching around, he didn't find any legal provisions, but he found the door to the warehouse. Schiller walked through a narrow passage and saw a warning sign posted on the warehouse door and it was locked.
Seeing the lock, Schiller knew that Greed had killed him early. He had high dexterity and had lock-picking skills. Schiller still had two skill points in his hand, but he didn't intend to use them on the lock-picking skills.
He planned to see what was coming off the ship. If it was really a deep diver, he'd better have some skills related to the Cthulhu Mythos.
Schiller left the gun shop and went around to the back of the house, only to see that the window had been broken open. He went inside and saw that the weapons inside had been basically looted, and the traces left behind were extremely fresh.
It was probably only a few hours ago.
The good news is that it is now certain that there are survivors in the village, but the bad news is that the survivors have shotguns and plenty of bullets, making it more difficult to deal with them.
After leaving the firearms warehouse, the next target Schiller chose was the best-looking residential house in the village. After all, old Siltke was a rich man and his life should not be too bad. He had to go to his home to see if he could
Can't find any clues.
Near the center of the village, almost a street away from the church, Schiller found a red three-story building that was incompatible with the surrounding buildings.
As we all know, in areas with relatively cold weather, houses in villages are generally not built too high because they are not conducive to storing heat. If they must be built, it will cost a lot of money to insulate the whole house and have modern heating measures.
Most countries in Europe and the United States do not have collective heating. In cities, they rely on electric heating and air conditioning, while in the countryside, they rely on primitive fireplaces. The houses Schiller walked through before all had only one floor, and there was a fireplace in the living room and room.
Schiller stood outside the door and looked around. He found that the walls of this villa were thicker than elsewhere, and he didn't see a fireplace. He concluded that this family must be very rich, at least one of the best in the village.
And when he came to the gate, he found that there were no signs of damage to the gate. The house did not seem to have been invaded by monsters, and the owner did not leave the house because the door was locked from the inside.
Is there anyone in the house now?
Schiller knocked on the door politely and rang the doorbell, but there was no response. He glanced at the wall, took a few steps back, and prepared to climb over.
Unexpectedly, just when he touched the wall, the red dice appeared again. The dexterity test was 14 < 20. The test failed. Schiller jumped up, but did not turn over.
"What bad luck." Schiller cursed in a low voice, but did not intend to give up. He came to the back door again. The gate to the backyard was a fence type. Although it was also locked with chains and locks, it could not be pried.
Lock room.
Schiller found a thin wire to secure a picnic table in the backyard of a nearby house. He took the wire and returned to the place. His dexterity check was 18<20, and he failed again.
Schiller took a deep breath, and at this time a voice sounded in his ear, "If I tell you now that Greed is laughing, will you be angry?"
This was the voice of the transcendent. Schiller said without raising his head: "Are you back? Greed made you come over to see my joke?"
"Yes, I just came back." The Transcendent said, "But it's not Greed who is watching your joke. To be precise, it's not just him, there are many people here."
"Is it all because of greed?"
"He said he was disappointed with your malicious speculation, but it's not really him, it's arrogance."
"Arrogance wouldn't take the initiative to do such a thing, it should be you, right? You've been skipping work for so long just to have people come and have fun?"
"You have misunderstood me, we are just testing the copy."
"So it seems that the people watching are the developers of Doujie? The God of Story, Walt, Lucifer, who else is there?"
"Naiya is here too. He said he can provide you with professional technical support."
"Thank you, I can't believe it."
After Schiller failed to pick the lock, he walked around to the other side of the yard while talking to the Beyonder. Because there was a car parked here, it wouldn't be difficult to climb over the wall by stepping on the car, right?
This time the overtaken did not make things difficult for him. It seemed that it was too much for an adult to climb over the fence even if he was riding a car, so Schiller reached the yard smoothly.
The yard is also very tidy, there are no signs of fighting, the back door is locked, and the doors of this house are of much better quality than those of other residences, so there is no way to break in.
Schiller walked around the house and felt that the window on the right could be opened. After entering, there was the kitchen. The space was not small. If someone rushed in, he would have room to fight.
There was a crash, and the glass was smashed by the crowbar. Fortunately, the glass was not specially made. It seemed that the transcendent judged that it could be broken by normal people. Otherwise, Schiller would have really hit someone if he had no strength.
Schiller jumped up the window and climbed inside, trying to reduce the sound as much as possible, but he knew that if anyone was in the house now, they would have heard the sound of the window breaking.
The house was very quiet, there were no screams or footsteps. It seemed that the other party was not in the house now.
Schiller first searched around the kitchen, and he felt that the more useful information was that the food in the refrigerator had been looted, and judging from the traces left on the refrigerator frost, they took away the food at about the same time.
It won't be very long, probably yesterday or the day before yesterday.
After leaving the kitchen, we came to the living room. The decoration of the living room was obviously much better than that of other houses. It was also very modern, with a TV and stereo, and the decorative bookshelves were filled with various beautiful small sculptures and books.
Schiller found a family photo on the bookshelf, and sure enough, he saw his own face. To be precise, it should be greedy, so the man standing on his right should be old Siltke.
Check out the correct version one by one!
He looks like a standard white man with no special features. Instead, the woman on the left has some Asian eyebrows and eyes. Schiller thinks this should be a plot character generated by the Transcendent based on his own face.
"I don't know what your parents look like, and you don't have it in your own memory, so I just pinched two that are almost the same." The Transcendent said, "I'm sorry if it caused any offense."
"Can you read my memories?"
"You can see part of it." The Transcendent said: "Entering the fighting world will open up some memory permissions by default. This is to weave some credible hallucinations or dreams, but they are relatively superficial memories. The deeper ones cannot be seen.
Arrived."
"Then what if Greed and I look exactly the same?"
"That's not how it looks to other people."
"Then why is he the only one who retains his original appearance?"
"He requested it himself." The Transcendent explained: "In fact, in addition to those attribute points, you can also make some requirements for your appearance, such as changing your race, hair color, eye color and other insignificant details.
He asked to keep it as it was, so I can only change it for you."
Schiller didn't really care about this, so he just asked. He took the photo out of the family photo frame and put it in his arms.
Then he went upstairs, took a brief look at the bedroom and then went straight to the study. The door to the study was also locked, but this time it was locked from the outside, and it seemed relatively simple.
Schiller tried picking the lock again, with a dexterity of 18>15, and finally succeeded once, and the study door was opened.
As soon as he entered the study, Schiller felt something different, because the hangings here were all conceptual designs of monsters, and the books on the bookshelves were all related to weirdness and monsters.
Schiller found an unfinished manuscript on the table. It was red and painted on the chest of a dead man, with several pairs of eyes emerging from the blood that was constantly spurting out.
It seems that this is the old Siltke's idea of the Prowler, and it looks strangely beautiful.
Schiller rummaged through the room again and found information on several scary-looking monsters, but the one with the most information was still a monster called the "Gut Hunter". Old Siltke did what he did to him.
There are many ideas.
However, there are only pictures he drew on it, without any explanation or anything like that. The paintings are also very crazy. There are several versions that look completely different, and there seems to be no reference price.
But Schiller found a piece of paper in a locked drawer, with only one sentence written on it.
