Chapter 283: Missing seaman

Wu Fei now speculates that there is no real evidence yet. He just made guesses based on the information already available, and then tried to confirm it with the clues he found. Maybe his guess is right, everything is exactly what he thought; of course, it is also very likely that these guesses are just his speculations, the truth is quite different.
The Bert family is undoubtedly very suspicious. Whether it is the old Bert or the young Bert, they are full of violation bugs and some dramatic points of attention.
A family that has been in decline for many years, took over a boat at a very low price, and then became rich overnight... Old Bert's life is full of horror suspense dramas. According to routines, a person suddenly develops in a desperate situation, usually getting something evil, or doing a deal.
And why did the original owner of the Deep Sea sell the ship to the old Burt, who he never knew, at such a low price? It is very likely that something happened to the boat at that time. The original owner hurriedly wanted to take the boat out of fear, but people who knew the matter were reluctant to buy the boat. Only Old Burt was willing to buy it.
So does Old Burt know about this ship? Wu Fei felt that he knew everything. Not even just knowing, it is possible that this problem was caused by him in some way; it is also possible that he only knew that there was such a problem on this ship, and he deliberately wanted to buy it. Otherwise, the old Burt, whose family had fallen completely, would not easily press his last barrel of gold on a problematic ship.
According to the information, the money was still a sum of money that Old Burt had joined a mercenary and sold his life.
In the end, Old Bert died so strangely, but Little Bert easily accepted the claim that his father died normally, and even disgusted the police station to investigate the matter again. Obviously he knew the real reason for the death of Old Bert-for example, it was suffered. Some kind of backlash, and even more likely, the death of Old Burt has something to do with himself.
There is a problem with the Bert family, and the Deep Sea, which is the family that the Bert family depends on, has a problem. What about the crew who have been working on this ship? Are they innocent? The missing crew members did not seem to affect their mood to continue working.
If, as they have judged before, the setting of this world is really similar to the Cthulhu system on earth (or a similar setting system born on other planetary civilizations), then there will usually be characters beyond The evil gods they understand and imagine generally include other strange monsters under the evil gods, cults that believe in evil gods, scientific research institutions that want to explore the truth of the world, and the powerful forces behind them.
But as far as old Burt and Little Burt and these seafarers look, they are crazy research workers in scientific research institutions. Wu Fei does not believe it. He thinks that they are more like cults-even if it is not that kind of religious belief. The denominational organization is also very likely to have the same behavioral motives and purposes as cults.
...For example, for some foolish and selfish purpose, hoping to summon evil spirits.
Especially if it is speculated that Old Burt’s one-night richness was related to the mysterious power from the evil god, since he has tasted the sweetness, it is very likely that after he is developed, he will be willing to invest more energy and financial resources to get more of this. This kind of mysterious power, even in this process, he himself feels fear or uneasiness, it is difficult for him to easily take it away-that mysterious and powerful power is undoubtedly like a drug to a small human being Will be addicted, and it will be difficult to get rid of from now on.
If the truth is the same as he guessed, then the next thing will be better understood. For more than two decades, the Shenhai has traveled on the same route for one day. It must be because somewhere on this route can be related to the acquisition of that mysterious power. The maritime trade is only a cover for its true purpose. . Those who can stay on this ship for a long time are probably already in the true sense, and are on the same ship as the Burt family.
As for the missing crew members, they may have discovered their secrets and refused to join them, so they were killed and killed; or it may be that these seafarers have lost their lives after being exposed to such powerful and powerful things. It’s the same thing, so you can kill someone who doesn’t look good on you without any burden...
Of course, there is a more terrifying guess-
For example, if they want to exchange that kind of power, they have to use something as an exchange, and those people are used as sacrifices to exchange power.
Wu Fei shook his head and said to Mubei Road: "Look at the locked crew member. From him, we may be able to find out why the crew members were missing before. The missing crew member is the original puzzle. One thing, we should be able to know almost the secrets on the Deep Sea."
Mu Bei just wanted to agree, Wu Fei thought about it, and added: "No, if that's the case, it's very likely that he couldn't find out if something went wrong, and finally missed a clue in vain."
He said that he took out a big slap-shaped human figure puppet from his communicator. This is a high-level puppet made by him. He needs a lot of advanced materials. Fortunately, these materials can be traded from the system store or between players. There are no particularly rare ones available on the market, and their tactile feel can already be faked.
Wu Fei handed the puppet doll to Mubei: "You have two contractors, Sapphire and Serena, although they are both human beings, but their skills should still be there. See if you can sneak into the seafarer's room, as long as you are right As the seaman turns on the puppet's right hand switch, the puppet can become the size and size of the other party, and then you use the puppet to change people away, hide them in your room, and see what happens."
Mubei nodded to remember. He was worried that he would be suspicious when he came out too long and then returned. He told Wu Fei to be careful and turned around and left. And as soon as he left, there were footsteps and conversations from a group of people outside. Obviously it was Little Bert and concise that they came back from fishing.
Wu Fei listened to the voice of Little Bert outside and always felt that the thought and doubt that had just been caught slipped away. He intuitively felt that the thing seemed very important. He tried hard but thought back, but he couldn't remember anything.
At dinner, they eat the fish that Bourgett caught, but Wu Fei did not have any appetite for the dishes on the table that should be made of fresh sea fish. They only dealt with two slices of dry bread.
Nothing strange happened until after going to bed, but after falling asleep, Wu Fei dreamed of the same situation as the night before-he was still standing on the bottom of the sea, facing the dark, hidden valley . The difference is that this time, he seemed to feel what was calling his voice.
He tried hard to discern the content of the voice, but for a moment he only felt a headache.
Wu Fei woke up with a headache, but when he woke up, he received a system prompt saying that his sanity value was deducted by one point.
Wu Fei scolded, and wrote all his experiences and dreams in the memo pad as usual, to provide information to Shen Xing.
The waiter who came to give them meals at breakfast turned out to be a seaman dressed as sapphire. Wu Fei knew that she had news to convey and found each other around the corner of the stairs through the gap in the bathroom.
"The situation is not good." Sapphire holding Wu Fei's puppet to Mubei yesterday, said, "We tried to switch people out as you said last night when no one was there, but when I sneaked in , There is no one in there. The room is empty and only has the smell of salty, wet, smelly seawater."
"What about the other crew members? How did they react?" Wu Feidao said.
"No response," Sapphire replied, "No one mentioned the seaman in the warehouse anymore, nor did anyone propose to send him water or food, as if he had never been with this person."
In fact, there is a way to quickly figure out what actually happened-that one of them deliberately mentioned the matter of the locked crew. According to his speculation, the person who mentioned it was also very They will be treated the same way, and they will know what will happen in the locked warehouse. But now they are facing unknown opponents, and contractors can only play as human beings, which is too risky, so Wu Fei can only give up this proposal.
He changed his mind. After breakfast, Wu Fei returned to the room and quickly rushed angrily to the place where the crew on the first floor claimed to have lost a gold pocket watch, and had entered him from the ship until now. Only the crew who repaired the window for him yesterday was in the room, so he suspected that Mubei had stolen his pocket watch.
Of course Mubei firmly denied it, so Wu Fei proposed a search. The crew manager seemed reluctant, but given that he was a guest of Bert Jr., he still agreed to his request. They searched Mubei’s body, luggage and bedroom. Of course, he couldn’t find such a
gold pocket watch
; so Wu Fei insisted on searching elsewhere, suspecting that Mubei had hidden the stolen goods elsewhere, waiting for him to search Go get it later.
He said it was reasonable and well-founded, but the steward raised his eyebrows and stood there, without refusing or agreeing.
While Wu Fei heard the familiar system voice at the same time: "Need to conduct event result identification, throw a six-sided dice, if the point is greater than 3, you can conduct a search; otherwise, you cannot conduct a search."
Wu Fei had good luck this time and voted 5 points, so the manager still reluctantly agreed to let him search. Wu Fei called conciseness and complexity to him because of the inefficiency of one person and not worrying about others. Search together.
The focus of their search was of course the warehouse where the seafarers were missing. So when he saw the locked warehouse from the outside, he immediately appeared suspicious and asked the steward to open the door.
The consequences of opening the door are as empty as the green jade said, and there is nothing. Wu Fei pretended to be looking for a dark cell that could hide a pocket watch, knocked around, and carefully studied the ground.
There was nothing unusual on the ground, but he knocked on the floor and found that the sounds of the two floors were not the same. He listened to him again and confirmed that this was not his illusion.
The only possible explanation is that the materials or thickness of the two areas are different.
