Chapter 279: Sanity

In the evening, everyone returned to the Shen's mansion to gather. Of course, it is impossible for the Shen family to have a mansion in every place. This mansion was temporarily rented while the plane was preparing. As far as the Shen family's financial resources are concerned, it is a breeze to complete such daily activities, so it can be directly successful without the need to roll the dice for identification.
In Wu Fei's previous arrangements, ten of them were divided into four groups to carry out operations-thieves were in charge of sneaking into Burt's mansion to obtain intelligence; Wu Fei, Shen Xing, Yuan Sanfan and Yuan Lao as guests Investigate the Burt House; the actor succinctly investigates clues from Little Burt; Mubei and Qingshan have to go to the police station and the port to investigate before and after the death of Old Burt. 1. Matt of the Bert family.
After meeting the Quartet, Wu Fei first introduced their experience in the Burt House. When talking about what Yuan Sanfan saw and his sensible value was deducted a little, Fanfan could not help but interjected and asked: "This sensible value What is it? I can understand the other attributes, but what does "sense" do? Why is it deducted?"
Wu Fei glanced at Mubei, and the latter thought about it and explained: "The big background setting of this level believes that this world is not what we feel now, what we feel is the reality, not Real. In the real world, there is our'unknown, insensible, incomprehensible, and indescribable' existence. When we touch the'real' of this world, because it completely exceeds our cognition and Understand, let us fear, discomfort, despair... At this time the sensible value will fall."
"What effect will the sane value be deducted?" Fanfan continued to ask.
"When reason is lower than a certain value, it will be in a state of mental instability. In this state, actions will be affected, and it will be easier to detect or see those existences. This unstable state will decrease with the value of reason. And getting more and more serious, if the sanity value is zero, you will be completely crazy. The only good news fortunately is that you are not really crazy, but are eliminated by the level at the moment of crazy, and after returning to the real world , You are still a normal person." Mubei Road.
But this is really not "good news". After all, the planners here, no one wants to be eliminated.
Wu Fei nodded on the side. He didn’t know much about the settings of the Cthulhu system. Basically, not much of the knowledge came from the game-some of them were like "Blood Source Curse" and some of the people For example, in "The Fifth Personality" slogan like "what you see with your own eyes is not true" "all fears are from the unknown". What Mubei said is basically consistent with his limited cognition, and the so-called "intellectual value" is actually a more fashionable statement on the earth before, called the san value.
Yuan San-fat looked at Mubei nervously: "So what should I do? Is there a way to control the reason?"
Mu Bei shook his head: "According to my experience in the previous level, there is no such method. After all, you should have a little experience... When humans encounter something beyond their understanding, the instinctive feelings and reactions are very Difficult to control."
As the only person in the team who has lost his blood, Yuan Sanfan suddenly became more nervous when he heard the words.
Mubei then simply introduced the situation they investigated: "We went to the police station and the port. Because Mr. Older died very suddenly, and the state at the time of his death was very strange, so police and forensic intervention had already been carried out at the time. The conclusion is that the normal death was due to a heart attack. His actions before his death were all normal. The only thing worth noting is that three days before his death, the Deep Sea just returned to Willand, and Old Burt boarded. Inspected."
"And when I got the news from the port, these days the Shenhai has been docked in the port and has not sailed again, but it has been moving up and down to unload the cargo. It is said that the next departure of the Shenhai will be set in three days. "
"Exactly," concisely said, "The news I got here is that Bert Jr. is going to sea in three days. Because I revealed the meaning of wanting to experience the feeling of going out to sea, he invited me to go with me. I did not directly agree to tell He will come back to ask his cousin for advice."
Combining the news on both sides, everyone intuitively felt that by then, nine out of nine of the ships that Bert Jr. was on would be the Shenhai.
Finally, there are clues that I have found: "The book and the notes in that photo are very concise. I have a few of them in Bert’s bedroom, and even two of them are on his desk. God should have read the contents of those books and notes. As for the safe, except for the half of the cellar that was completely sealed in Bert’s house, I found all the other places, but I did not find it. I suspect that the safe has been Was transferred out of Burt's house-there are two cases, the first is that the contents of the cabinet have been taken out, hidden in the house, the cabinet is disposed of; the second is the contents of the cabinet alone or It was transferred together with the locker. So I went to investigate the debris that Burt's family recently dealt with. I didn't find anything that might be the safe. It was basically sure that it was transferred together."
So where is the cabinet or things in the cabinet most likely to be transferred? The same answer came out in everyone's mind-Shenhai. If there is something important in it, Little Bert will transfer it to the outside of the mansion. The most likely thing is to put it where he is about to go.
So far, all valuable clues point to the same place.
"...It seems that this time we have to board the Deep Sea anyway." Mubei smiled bitterly. There was a little helplessness in his smile, and besides, there seemed to be a hint of faint fear.
"In the last hurdle, you had four groups of planners and contractors who boarded the Deep Sea and lost contact there, so you should know more about the situation of this ship? What is this broken ship? Now? It doesn't know how many times it has returned safely. Didn't your four planners and four contractors come down from that last time?" Aoyama stared at Mubei Road.
Either the eight people are waste, or else... this boat is really not simple.
"We did make enough preparations and did a lot of investigations before boarding the ship last time." Mubei took a thick black leather notebook out of his little black bag. Because he continued the level event, some of the materials and props collected in the previous level were kept for him.
"This ship is not a new ship. It had been in service for two years when Old Burt took over it, but I don’t know why for that reason, Old Burt had a price much lower than the market price from its former owner. I bought it in my hand. Because the time is too long, we did not find the specific reason at that time. We guessed that the Shenhai had a problem at that time when an explanation was made."
"Another strange but plausible point is that the Deep Sea has been running the same route most of the time for more than 20 years of sailing," Mu Bei unfolded a route map sandwiched in a notebook. Take one of the specially marked red lines, "This is the route, starting from Willland County, all the way through Philip Town, Red Harbor, Roland Island`, and finally arrives at Paradise Island, after a period of stay in Paradise Island, then Go back. The last time my teammate boarded the ship, the planned route was the same."
Wu Fei pushed Shen Xing forward and carefully noted down the relative positions of this route and several locations-in general, these five locations were not far away, except for Paradise Island, they were all in the same area On the mainland.
Philip Town is a small town close to Willland, and Red Harbor is located in a bay and is the largest trading port in this area. Although Roland Island is an island, it is actually connected to the land and is an extension. Go out of the peninsula. Paradise Island is an island independent from the mainland. It is not only a distance away from Roland Island, but also the farthest station from the other four places. It used to produce various raw materials. The trend of tourism development.
Wu Fei pointed at these five locations to Mubei Road: "Your last teammates certainly couldn't lose contact overnight after boarding. When did you lose contact with them? In the process, they Is there any message back to you?"
"Yes." Mubei said as he opened the notebook and pointed to the newspaper clippings above. "In this level, because of the inconvenience of communication, we often pass messages to each other through newspapers. Here are them in Philip Town The message sent when we docked with Hong Kong, we still have a phone call. Because I went to Roland Island to investigate in advance at that time, so I also sent a message and they said they would meet on Roland Island."
"However, I encountered a terrible incident when I was investigating on Roland Island. After I escaped, I was taken to the hospital on Roland Island. At that time, I heard that the Deep Sea had reached Paradise Island. I did not wait on Roland Island. Anyone. After I rested in the hospital for three days, the system temporarily sent me out of the checkpoint and informed me that in the last pass, I was the only one left. You will know the next thing. "
In other words, it is very likely that the four groups of planners and contractors were no longer on the way from Hong Kong to Roland, and no clues were left.
Aoyama glanced at Mubei’s newspaper clippings and suggested:
The ship is a closed room, and communication in this gate is not convenient. It is useless to leave people on the shore. So I still think we should learn from their previous The lesson is, everyone gets on the boat together, one more person and one more strength, to avoid being destroyed one by one."
Wu Fei glanced at Shen Xing, put his hand gently on the other person’s shoulder, and pondered: "It seems necessary to board the Shenhai now, but I don’t agree that no one will answer, and everyone will board the ship. ferry."
Qingshan Hengmei looked at him: "What do you mean? I think the reason I said is obvious enough."
Wu Fei patted Shen Xing gently on the shoulder, and looked back at each other with a calm attitude: "Of course, I also agree that people should not be left on the shore to respond, and the distant water cannot save the near fire, which is of little use."
