"It is not too difficult to investigate the whereabouts of Vincent Van Ning. First, it is not that long ago. It has only been 7 years. The management and standardization of industrial society is much better than before; second, his social activities after arriving in Janus.
It can be checked continuously, and the logic of time, place and people can be connected smoothly."
In the dark night, in the wilderness area by the river, it was impossible to see anything. The fine gravel on the river bank was covered with withered grass. The wheelchair that Mr. Wax was sitting in ran over it, making constant crackling sounds.
Lassus and two investigators followed closely behind him. He reported in a low voice. Some of his men were carrying briefcases and others were holding maps.
"The only problem is that before, we didn't match the new name 'Vincent' with the former deputy captain of the exploration team, 'Fractalist'. Once we did, the problem was no longer a problem."
"Therefore, we organized three full-process on-site investigations as early as December 912, March 913 and June 913 of the New Calendar, and there was no resistance in the process——"
"Vincent boarded the ocean-going cruise ship 'Black Gold' which set sail at 7:18 in the morning on September 6, 1909, voyage number KBH1065, ticket stub seat 1-060, departure station Uvransernan
dock area, terminal
Janus Elisha Port arrived at 9:48 a.m. on September 24. After three train transfers, two nights of hotel accommodation and several short-distance carriage transfers, he arrived at 12:01 noon on September 30.
Arrived in San Pelto”
Lassius's narrative is smooth, clear and omits nothing.
It is even accurate to the room number and meals at a certain hotel where Vincent stayed on the way, to the type of coffee he ordered on Walstein Street in St. Porto, or to visit an art museum to see something one day.
The start and end times of the exhibition.
Theoretically, under the current social operating model, the investigation team has collected all the information that can leave traces.
Order number, bill number, document number, ticket stub, and necessary third party confession and memory - obtained by providing recall clues or subconscious guidance, etc.
"Vincent's traces of activities that can be traced in San Porto are not very long, only less than ten days."
"The last trace left was that he returned his umbrella at the front desk of the Walstein Sunshine Hotel on October 10, 909 in the New Calendar. The time was 10 a.m."
"The recollections of several waiters and relevant supporting documents indicate that he had breakfast in the hotel restaurant two hours earlier that day, but did not come back for lunch or dinner, and no other restaurants in San Porto were found.
Records, maybe he had a meal at a mobile vendor later, but no matter what, he did not return to his room that night."
"On the second and third nights, Vincent still didn't return to the room. The hotel service staff didn't take it seriously at first until his prepaid room fee was used up. On the fourth morning, they contacted the police without success, but there was still a self-checkout box in his room.
The luggage O'Lion took with him when he set out, and several small-sized oil paintings of street scenes he created recently."
"This was the process of missing contact determined by the San Pelto police at the time. The news was returned to Fanning, who was a freshman at the University of San Lenia at the time. By the end of October, Vincent's disappearance was determined to be October 10.
After returning the umbrella at the front desk at 10 am on the same day.”
"But in fact, our subsequent tracing extended Vincent's actual whereabouts back a short distance!"
“Although I don’t know what Vincent went through between October 10th and October 15th, he actually left San Pelto during the six days from October 16th to October 21st!”
"He changed transportation several times, including trains, boats and carriages, and went to the Apel area where we are now! The reasons why the police did not find out at the time had both subjective and objective reasons: one was routine,
The degree of attention was limited and the root cause was not thoroughly investigated. Secondly, this was also because the popularity rate of the real-name system at that time was even lower!”
"The last traceable record we can trace is that at 5 pm on October 21st, after he got off the boat at the small town dock of Mingtkin Kangs on the Hedgewell River, he got into a taxi. The driver took a taxi
10 pounds worth of gold coins, and carried him as far upstream as possible along the river bank."
"According to the coachman's dictation, Vincent was lightly dressed and did not carry any large luggage. He showed a low desire to communicate throughout the journey, but no obvious abnormalities were found in the necessary communication. The carriage drove until the dark night in the wilderness, with no way to go, so he looked
I got him off the car and continued walking upstream."
"The last possible area starts from this area." Lasus stretched out his hand to indicate, "The first three times we came, we were twice on the border of Janus on the other side, and once on the border of Lydia on this side, but we didn't find anything.
What’s the clue?”
The current location is actually not too far from the boundary of the abnormal zone further upstream.
"Actually, we have searched almost all the major and small branches and tributaries of the Hedgewell Basin, and we have not found Vincent's body. Could it be that he went into the abnormal area again? But for someone who has had exploration experience
For a person, I am afraid that even if I die, I may not be willing to experience such a nightmare again. Moreover, since I have investigation experience, I shouldn’t go in unprepared and lightly packed.”
"Either his body is not 'complete' enough and has not even reached the 'detection limit' of occult divination. We really haven't found it."
"Sir, is it possible that the body was completely destroyed?" The investigator holding a map next to him asked, "Such as too drastic a method, or the involvement of mysterious factors."
Lasus shook his head: "The flesh of mortal creatures is the debris of appearances. As long as they have not reached the realm of the Order Enforcer, it is impossible to completely disappear from the world's appearance. Mysterious factors intervene, and the most common thing is to turn into a pile of rotten flesh and blood.
That’s all.”
"Is Lydia on this side and Janus on the other side?" Mr. Wax suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's just that the other side we see now is temporarily occupied by Lydia, but I heard that Janus has recently proposed a ceasefire."
Lassus replied.
"So Mr. Wax, you ordered us to make a fourth trip from San Porto this time. Is there any possibility of new discoveries?"
Check out the correct version one by one!
"I have checked every one of the deceased on the luxury cruise ship 'Vanessa', whether they were real people or 'phantoms', and the relevant people have also made calculations secretly." Mr. Wax narrowed his eyes, fingernails on
There was tapping on the armrest of the wheelchair.
"I don't know how he understood the gnosis of the 'Gate of Whirling Fire'. The legacy of this secret technique is indeed very difficult. Many subtle traces of the disturbance of the secret history have been replaced and turned into the same thing.
'Candle' creates a secret atmosphere"
"However, there is still an obvious anomaly, an extremely high peak anomaly that cannot be completely eliminated, which makes me feel extremely strange."
"Owen's emotions before he died were very surprised, very surprised! Extremely surprised! Even mixed with a certain degree of horror or panic!!"
Lasus, who had been listening silently, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Extreme horror, panic?
So, what did Owen suddenly learn?
Is there anything beyond his expectations and cognition?
