Chapter 54: Only silence produces words; only darkness becomes light
It seems to be a choice.
In fact.
Because of the final star rating of this game.
It is impossible for Su Wen to miss any opportunity to clean up the 'Tide' sect.
So.
Just the opposite of the Runaway Party.
He wants to take advantage of the approaching storm and reverse the layout.
Intercept and kill the cultists on the ship.
As for half an hour of sight.
Even a little longer.
He calmly said to the security captain beside him:
"Mr. Paul, take me to the crime scene."
In the banquet hall.
The deceased fell near the edge of the main stage. There was a slight strangulation mark on his neck. At the same time, there were blunt force wounds on his head and back.
Nielsen analysis said:
"It looks like he was attacked by surprise."
At this time.
The originally clear summer sky outside the cabin window was gradually shrouded in clouds.
There are no signs of a storm coming soon.
Everyone on the boat felt the rising turbulence.
Su Wen, on the other hand, entered the room calmly.
It is not affected by environmental factors.
He clicked on the trial ability of this game:
[Epic Relic: ‘Branlit’s Lantern’]
A faint shimmer of light expanded from inside the room, forming an undetectable circular psychic field.
A light appeared in Su Wen's hand that no one else could see.
But it exudes a brown lantern that can soothe the soul.
Silent oaths also followed:
[I mourn the dead, just like Helena swears an oath for the living]
[Only silence produces words; only darkness becomes light; only death leads to rebirth; fireflies fall into the void, shining brightly.]
[I am the extraditer of the forgotten people——‘The afterglow of the light’——Branlett]
A moment.
Su Wen's computer screen changed to a split screen.
One end.
The scene of the upcoming storm on the "Collin" cruise ship is prohibited.
And the other end.
In the deep banquet hall where all the background lights are turned off.
Only the warm dim light of a lantern was lit.
Then.
A hazy figure stood opposite Su Wen.
【Lights shrouded】
[Because the dead Bourne is in the ‘deep abyss’￥%& border pull, the power of consciousness gradually dissipates]
[Branlit Lantern Projection (First Level) cannot resist the pull of the abyss]
[So you can only ask two questions and cannot communicate to gain the power of the mourner]
It seems there are many restrictions.
He thought for a moment.
Then I found the question that needs to be asked most at the moment.
Under the dim light.
Facing the victim's remnant soul, Su Wen calmly asked the first question:
"Bourne, do you remember the characteristics of the murderer?"
Bourne replied dully:
"He has a strange smell, like a mixture of Sicilian citrus, blackcurrant and some kind of floral fragrance that I can't name.
Before I died, I heard an inexplicable suppressed excitement in his voice, which made people shudder."
Su Wen wrote down the answer to this question.
Then he asked:
"If you were to analyze it, what was his motive for killing you?"
"I am a businessman, and I make my name by shipping goods.
This time I took a luxury cruise to the Samoa Islands not because I was too rich and wanted to enjoy it.
It’s because among the guests on this trip is a shipping magnate I want to make friends with.
To this end, I specially brought a border relic that is said to have ‘extraordinary properties’ to give to him.
But I don’t know if it’s because of that relic.”
After the answer of the dead soul who gradually lost his self-consciousness due to the pull of the abyss.
[Branlett's lantern has lost its effectiveness]
[Because you completed the projection for 10 seconds, you consumed 100 points of psychic energy]
[You feel an inexplicable dizziness]
As a transcendent who has just advanced to the first level.
It is still difficult for Su Wen to use one and the epic relic that lowers the energy level.
But he already got the answer he wanted.
That's right.
These two questions point directly to the two key points of his game.
The first is to obtain the murderer and infer that the murderer belongs to the 'Tide Sect'.
The second is to analyze the characteristics and reasons of the victim and infer the identity of the ‘sacrifice’.
The main perspective of the game begins to flow.
Su Wen silently recalled the cruise roster he had just received.
He has already locked in a target.
At the same time.
Looking at the swaying lights outside the cruise ship window
There is still some time.
Layout is about to begin.
He quietly whispered a few words to the security captain and the traveler beside him.
Then.
Different from other people's panic.
Su Wen said calmly:
"Mr. Paul, I heard that there are several marine biologists on this trip. Can you take me to their lounge?"
"No problem."
Although he doesn't quite understand the arrangement just made by Detective Kevin.
But at least the location of the guests on this cruise ship is still clear.
The security captain took him to the door of the large lounge on the third floor.
Then he knocked on the door:
"Emergency investigation, please cooperate with our work."
Three seconds later.
The door was opened, and a man wearing a white research coat with messy hair opened the door.
Then he said to other people in the room:
"Stop what you are doing first, and quickly complete the investigation before conducting ocean current data analysis."
Several more researchers walked out of the room.
[Identification: Sidney Mullen, Lorenz Riel College of the Pacific - Senior teacher of the Department of Oceanography, Academy of Natural Sciences, second-level transcendent, extraordinary characteristics: orbit determination]
[Identification: Max Longfellow, Intermediate Teacher at the Department of Marine Science, Pacific Lawrence Riel College-Natural Science Park, First-Order Extraordinary Person, Extraordinary Characteristics: High-speed Thinking]
....
The subsequent identification results were not beyond Su Wen’s expectation.
But he still asked according to the expected process:
"Where were you when the murder occurred in the banquet hall?"
"At that time, there was no possibility of an 'undercurrent' erupting. Sidney was sleeping. He stayed up late last night."
"Don't talk so much."
Sidney stopped a companion
"In order to study the subsequent impact of the end of the storm season, we applied for project funding.
I spent the first three months conducting research in the Baltic Sea, and now I am following the route from Vladivostok to the Samoa Islands.
We have just been conducting research, so it is naturally impossible to be the murderer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is a letter stamped by the college, you can take a look."
Nelson is a world-famous traveler and photographer.
He took the off-white goose letter with a complicated seal and an article:
"Lauren Zrail is an extraordinary research institution comparable to All Souls College in Oxford, Westminster Clock Tower, and Albany College in New York State."
"How realistic is it?"
"At least in my opinion, it's credible."
Nelson replied.
Su Wen nodded.
"Since it is credible."
He closed the door, sat on the sofa in the luxurious cabin, and then said to the researchers in a narrative tone:
"Then have you ever heard of the 'Tide' sect?"
"Cultists?"
Sidney looked a little heavy.
He did not expect that after investigation by the night watchman, there would be this group of anti-human lunatics on the ferry to the Samoa Islands:
"Now that we have Captain Adrian's guarantee, what do you want us to do?"
Su Wen really appreciates smart people, and there is no need to explain too much.
What's more.
It seems that the two of them have a lot in common in terms of proper rest.
But now is not the time for small talk.
He said calmly:
"I have found the murderer of the deceased, but I need someone to correct this. This candidate cannot be myself."
"Aren't you a detective?"
Nelson asked slightly surprised:
"Isn't fame and prestige what you pursue? Why do you want to give the credit to others."
Hear this question.
Su Wen smiled, and then said very rationally:
"Of course I need fame and prestige.
But please listen carefully.
I'm talking about the murderer of the 'deceased'.
Could it be.
Do you think the Tide Sect has only one lunatic here this time?"
From this sentence.
Everyone felt the shocking meaning of ‘Detective Kevin’s words.
