Chapter 285: Old Burt's Diary

With his professional experience, Wu Fei feels that he has now stepped into a pit called "trueend".
In general games, playing trueend is of course a good thing, because this undoubtedly means higher customs clearance evaluation and better rewards. Even if utilitarian considerations are aside, trueend can give people a sense of fulfillment because of As far as participants are concerned, this means that they have dug up all the content of the story.
However, a level set by a Cthulhu-like system is not necessary.
Every step leading to trueend is one step closer to the evil god, one step closer to losing reason, and one step closer to madness or death. In this setting, people are absolutely incomprehensible to evil spirits, and they cannot escape. They are crazy at a glance. There is no chance of hitting a boss. The only thing they can do is to avoid it.
So Wu Fei didn't want to trigger trueend at all.
But since there is no way to trigger it, you can avoid it, and you can't avoid it. What's more, they are now facing all kinds of difficult problems, and they can't even consider the identity and purpose of the male voice on the phone.
For example, the most urgent, how to deal with the body of Little Bert.
Wu Fei thought about it and sent a message to Shen Xing. Then he opened the system store, bought a series of black technology disguise props produced by the system, and began to draw one by one to himself.
Looking at him concisely and surprised: "Are you ready...?"
Wu Fei nodded: "If a guest disappears and has a good explanation, there will be no problem, but if Bert Jr. suddenly disappears, many problems will become troublesome."
For example, how to manage these servants and crew on the ship; for example, will the forces on the phone do anything after receiving this news, causing unexpected trouble.
There are many advantages to appearing as Bert Jr., for example, he will automatically take control of the ship, and at the same time he can freely explore the information of the Bert family and the thing that lives on the ship-although from that From the telephone, it seems that even if they removed the thing on the ship and the initiator who caused the disappearance of the seafarer, they could not be successfully removed from the incident. The force at the other end of the phone would not let them go easily, he knew too much.
With the help of succinctness, Wu Fei transformed herself into Little Bert, while Fanfan took the black technology "corpse water" bought from the system store and confirmed to Wu Fei: "Just dispose of his body Is there no problem?"
Wu Fei nodded: "No problem."
After doing all this, he swept the dishes and wine on the table to the ground, completely covering up the suspicious traces left in the room, and then asked the maid to come in and clean them.
He himself went to the captain’s room and informed the captain that the guest on the ship, Mr. Wu, had an acute illness, but they did not have a doctor on the ship, so the ship of the Shen family who had followed them would send someone to pick up Mr. Wu back on the ship. , Let them do the docking work of the two ships.
The ship on the Shen side also received orders from Shen Xing. The captains of the two ships began to dock with each other. Soon the distance between the two ships was shortened. The people from the Shen ship boarded the Shenhai.
But few people noticed that there was a small black cat with agility on the Deep Sea.
While no one was paying attention, the little black cat went upstairs with Wu Fei. Under Wu Fei's indifferent guidance, he slid into the room where Wu Fei originally lived, following the door gap that was intentionally left behind.
A moment later, the people from the Shen family also led the servant downstairs, and from Wu Fei’s room, wrapped the whole person in a blanket, with their heads hanging down, from Wu Fei’s
very sick
and
very weak body
. The gentleman came out of the room and took it back to Shen's boat.
The real Wu Fei looked back on Jr.'s appearance and wandered back to his now Bert's bedroom.
Although he took a divine career under the human identity, he did not affect his sensitivity when he regained his cat shape. When he was a cat, he was still a very healthy kitten. The curse of President Shen has become a special ability of them under certain circumstances.
After Wu Fei returned to the room, he called the simplicity and complexity and asked them to search for useful clues left by Little Bert. Finally, he found a black leather notebook under Little Bert’s pillow.
Wu Fei felt that the notebook looked a bit familiar, and recalled it, as if he had seen it in the photo of the old Burt’s bedroom. It is not difficult to infer from the oldness of the notebook that this note should originally belong to the old Burt and accompany him His short time.
Wu Fei opened the notebook and began to read from the beginning, and found that it was Older Burt's diary, but not every day, but only when he encountered some important events. At first, he talked about how he saw the news in the newspaper. After earning a living, he joined a mercenary organization. How dangerous and boring the mercenary’s life was, and then it was a large section of the file. What did the old Burt have for a long time? He didn't remember it. When he resumed recording, several of the diaries caught Wu Fei's attention:
August 10, 19xx
They gave me money and boat tickets. I hid the money at home and took the things they gave me to the boat.
August 11, 19xx
I started trying to start that strange ritual in my room. That book is so weird. Every time I open it, I feel that I am out of control and there will be strange scenes in front of me.
August 14, 19xx overcast
God, I should have succeeded.
What did I do?
Sunny on August 17, 19xx
I saw the news in the newspaper and the ship was in trouble.
That's right, I saw the picture, it was the room where I stayed.
Sunny, September 21, 19xx
That boat is on sale, but who would dare to buy it?
No matter what is going on, the scrap factory is its best end. Let it disappear.
I swear, I will never follow its news again. Just let me think I haven't done anything.
Heavy rain on September 24, 19xx
They found me.
They gave me money to buy the boat.
I don't think I can get off the boat...
Sunny, November 15, 19xx
They really destroyed all previous reports about the incident on the ship.
What is their origin?
But this is of no avail. There is no point in erasing the past. After all, after all...
That thing is still on board...
Someone will still die.
No, I want to talk to them.
Cloudy on November 21, 19xx
They let me find a way.
I know what they mean.
There are so many people in this world, there are always some people who disappear inexplicably, no one will notice.
Yes, I know.
If I don’t do what they say, I will disappear like this, and no one will notice.
...
Even though many of Oldbert’s diaries are simple and sloppy, many things can be inferred from Oldbert’s diary.
First of all, there is indeed another group of more powerful and mysterious forces behind him. Wu Fei speculates that, out of ten, nine is the force of the man who called. For more information about this force, Old Burt's diary rarely mentioned it positively, and it was unclear whether he was himself. But it can be clearly speculated that this force has a wide reach and is very energetic. It can manipulate many things and obtain many privileges. From the beginning of a series of operations such as buying ships to Old Burt more than twenty years ago, they were all controlled by them behind their backs.
Old Burt may have been a puppet when he didn’t know the inside, but he couldn’t get rid of it when he realized how terrible things he and the group were doing. Will not let him go.
Secondly, the origin of the Shenhai and the thing on it can be basically understood. At that time, Old Burt went to work as a mercenary. I didn’t know how to get in touch with this force. This force picked up the boat and bought him a ticket to let him do a strange thing on the ship. For money, old man Specially agreed. He held a ritual in his room, and then summoned the thing now on the ship.
That thing started to make homicides on the ship. The first few homicides must have been very sensational and had a great impact. It was not as hidden as the seafarers disappeared. But of course, the police could not find any clues about such a monster. Over it. So the fearful shipowner would want to sell the boat at a low price, and for some reason, the force found the old Burt, asked him to buy the boat, and destroyed the reports of the murders, eliminating the impact, making The Deep Sea can continue normal navigation.
Old Burt knew what was on the ship and the reasons for those murders, so he knew that as long as the thing was there, people would continue to die on the ship. The Deep Sea should no longer exist. Those people hinted at a solution to him, and from the results, in order to save his life, Old Burt finally adopted it-he relied on his own shipping company to recruit people from the bottom, who had left their homes or were weak, as seafarers, and took them Arranged to work in the Shenhai, but actually opened countless "doors" on the negative floor of the seafarer's life, so that the thing can easily enjoy its sacrifice.
There was a tacit agreement between that thing and the Deep Sea, it would only take away those seafarers who were "selected" and disappeared without much impact, and under the cover and whitewash of Old Burt and that force, this The cruel thing lasted for more than 20 years. I don't know how many seafarers were killed, but they didn't even arouse a splash of water. The Shenhai has been sailing like this for more than 20 years.
And that force has been preparing for the matter for the past two decades. The thing "raised" on the Deep Sea is for this matter. Through it, the force can collect a substance they want near Paradise Island. This substance is essential to what they want to do. At the same time, that thing is also the key to guiding them.
And the cowardly, selfish, old man who has worked for the tiger for a lifetime seems to know what they want to do, and even begins to get out of it.
However, from the results, he obviously failed to get away, because he was dead, and those people found him again.
As for what the power wanted to do, Old Bert didn’t write it in his diary, it seemed indescribable, and he didn’t know much about it-he just used it many times in his diary. "Extremely terrifying".
