Volume 7: War and Peace in an Abandoned Town Chapter 14 Searching for clues
“How strange…”
Li Lin got up from the chair and scratched his scalp. Looking at the dark sky outside, he sighed inexplicably.
This is not the first time I got stuck. After all, this kind of situation often happens when playing games. Especially for games that are not for players at all and use high difficulty as a selling point, they will not give you many hints. However, this also makes many players feel that their IQ is not high enough.
The manifestation of low IQ is getting stuck. There are many different reasons for getting stuck, because of certain clues, or because of the lack of relevance, or because of the designer's malice. But in general, you can find a routine. The routine is a framework, a given cause and effect. If you can find the routine, you can avoid getting stuck.
Li Lin was able to figure out the routine before, but now because of these strange things and problems, plus he has been in prison for ten years, although most of the human nature is still the same, Li Lin is really unsure about the details. He also doesn't know what the designer was thinking when designing this plot, or when the AI simulated this storyline. In theory, clues will not be adapted according to strength, but everything that can be found has been found, so what is the problem?
"Is it because my clues are not clear enough? Or is there some other hidden information that I haven't found?"
Sitting up from the chair and taking some banknotes, Li Lin drew some lines to connect the clues together.
First of all, there is the old god as the main body, which is embodied in every aspect of the surface world - the uninhabited world. Every symbol and diary describes the sigils and records of the gods, and it can be seen that the kingdom of God is inside.
And according to the description in the diary, the whole town can actually only be regarded as the periphery of the Kingdom of God. With the folding and advancement of space, they will be promoted to a better place. This is the news that has been known so far. However, the problem is that after reading the diary, the surrounding environment has changed drastically. This change is not a change in the map, but only a change in the environment.
In other words, the town is still the same town, but the connection between the inner world town and the outer world town is still unknown. So even if Li Lin does not have the right to enter, he will use his fingers to carve some inexplicable marks and patterns on the door panel. If it is really a small town, the solidified magic power with the properties of reincarnation and self-permanence will not be transformed and divided because of some tricks. It is completely possible to judge whether it is the same space by the traces left on it.
But these are just digressions, the most critical issues are still just a few.
First, where did these natives living in the town come from? Are they the original believers of the Old Kingdom of God? If so, why are they afraid of those monsters? If not, then why are they there?
Second, where did the black fog and the monsters in it come from? If they were created by the gods, did they create fear and harvest faith? If not, how did they erode the kingdom of God?
Third, why is there a difference between day and night in the Kingdom of God? As a sun god, even a corrupt sun god would not have such a situation. If he had a problem, would this god still be alive? If he did it on purpose, then what religious significance does this darkness have? Can it be listed as a warning target?
“…I have absolutely no idea.”
Looking at the questions and knowledge points listed above, Li Lin scratched his head and really felt that his brain was not enough.
Just a few clues made Li Lin feel that his head was a lot bigger. And he hadn't taken into account the hostile relationship between the monsters and what the so-called outsiders were. Can the Pale Expedition be called outsiders? No, because the diary clearly described the Holy Light as a natural disaster. Then the reference to outsiders was a bit unclear.
What kind of story could have caused this small town in the Kingdom of God to fall into such a strange situation? What exactly do outsiders mean? Whether sacrifices or other actions are needed to explore this is also unknown.
And because of the problem of strength, Li Lin couldn't even use violence to deal with those so-called city people.
Keeping mysterious and aloof is the first element of pretending to be cool, and it is also the first element of safety. Li Lin does not want to destroy his current image in that town.
But after thinking a lot and coming up with no ideas, Li Lin could only take a screenshot of his current analysis and post it directly on the forum for help. It should be reliable for a natural person like him to directly ask an electronic person or a logic processing module to analyze something he doesn't understand, right?
'Help: I'm stuck, and I need help from some logic and mystery puzzle lovers. See the picture below.'
After Li Lin posted several analysis files he had on hand one by one in the post, it didn't take long for it to attract a large number of replies.
'sofa!'
'Bench!'
'floor!'
'Basement! Ah, but I did read the post. But I am too stupid to know what happened.'
'I happen to be at the company here, and I have opened more than 20 processing modules, which should be enough. But there are too few clues at the moment, and there are more than 600 possibilities. I have no other options, and can only say that I can't help. But the boss actually got stuck? It's really strange, I thought the boss had reached the level of being able to do anything. '
'Well, according to the nature of this game, ordinary research will definitely lead to failure, but the boss is stumped, and I don't know what to say. Because I am not a boss, and I don't know what I am researching. The old gods sound very cool, and I am afraid they have rushed into a world that we can't imagine. Every operation of the boss is so meaningful. I have said so much just to ask for a +6 equipment, boss, please give me a favor! '
“…”
After reading that post, Li Lin almost jumped out of bed.
However, it was still early, and the posts did not seem to be going off topic. It was rare that everyone was discussing the plot with great interest. But there would be no results for a while. After Li Lin looked at it, he just wanted to relax himself, so he threw himself on a sofa, turned on the TV, and started watching the news and program content.
