Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

The overall facilities of the hotel are relatively old and not very big, with only three floors in total.

The third floor is the prison, the second floor is the room where 12 players live, and the first floor is the hotel reception hall, kitchen, dining room, storage room and the residence of the proprietress.

After entering through the back door of the hotel, the players are directly in the corridor on the first floor.

Afterwards, it took about 10 minutes for everyone to look upstairs and downstairs, and came to the front desk.

There is a middle-aged woman standing at the front desk, she should be the legendary proprietress.

The proprietress is blond and wearing a long skirt. She is no longer young, but her charm is still there. She is holding a pen and paper to settle accounts.Seeing the players coming, she looked up at everyone, didn't say much, and lowered her head to settle her own account again.

Duan Yi took the first step forward. "How do you call the lady boss? Can you speak Chinese?"

Probably the NPC will automatically adjust the language according to the player, but the proprietress actually replied in fluent Chinese: "My name is Lisa."

"Okay. Excuse me, what month and date is it today?" Duan Yi asked again.

Lisa lowered her head and took a pen to write and draw on the account book, "Hey, life is so muddled, today is November 11th."

"Yeah, don't be confused now. We don't have the smart lady boss. The lady boss is smart, she runs the hotel business in an orderly manner, and she is also beautiful." Duan Yi leaned at the front desk and looked at Lisa with a smile, "Then ask me again, come on." Haven't there been a lot of homicides here in the past month?"

"Yeah. It happened last month. Do you want to know the details?" Lisa seemed very happy to be coaxed by Duan Yi. She immediately put down her pen, looked at him happily, and put her hand on him The face, the eyes reveal a little obsession.

Duan Yi stared intently at Lisa, and was about to hear her follow-up, when someone grabbed his wrist suddenly, and was taken to move back a few steps.He looked back and saw that it was done tomorrow.

"Why? I'm talking to her." Duan Yi asked him in a low voice.

I looked at him quietly tomorrow without explaining anything.

Lisa didn't notice the actions of these two people. Her eyes seemed to pass through them and reached the not-too-distant past, showing a sense of confusion. "A lot of people died. Really a lot of people. It's a pity. Those who died are all beautiful girls..."

"They made up a song. Would you like to hear it?"

"Jack the Ripper was killed, Pauline and Sheffield were walking in the white church, the sniper's footsteps sounded, Jack the Ripper came..."

After finishing the song in a poetic tone, Lisa's relaxed and happy expression disappeared.Her gaze became a little heavy, she no longer paid attention to the player, but just kept her head down and went to keep accounts.

The wallpaper behind the proprietress has turned yellow, and there is a clock hanging on it, showing that the current time is less than 2:[-] in the afternoon.

The place opposite the front desk is the hotel's gate.

It was daytime, but the gate was closed.

Duan Yi thought for a while, walked to the gate, and put his hand on the wooden door.

"What are you doing?" It was Peng Cheng who stopped him, "Didn't the system broadcast say, let's cross tomorrow."

Duan Yi explained: "If you don't have a calendar, you can't travel through the main entrance here. I asked Lisa just now, and it is now November 11th, and she said that the murder happened last month. That means the homicide also happened this year, not the year before or many years ago."

"Without using the calendar to achieve time travel, the time outside the hotel is also November 11th. So, let's go out now, although we can't know what happened during the murder, that is, between October 15st and 10rd, But at least you can familiarize yourself with the map in advance. In addition, since the murder happened a month and a half ago, there may be some clues left."

Peng Cheng slapped his forehead. "It makes sense! Then let's go out and have a look!"

Pushing the door out, a square is in front of the player's eyes.

There is a fountain directly opposite the hotel, and on the left is a church with a white spire.In front of the fountain is a row of old houses. The houses look dilapidated. Even if the window sills are more or less decorated with some flowers, it is hard to hide the decayed atmosphere. Fortunately, the splashing water in the pool adds a layer of light to them. Filters give everything a hazy beauty.

As for the right side of the fountain, there is a brand new building with the sign of "PoliceStation" on it, which is the police station.

Compared with the previous two dungeons, the venue of this dungeon seems quite large.

The players divided into several teams to conduct preliminary investigations, and dispersed in twos and threes.

After the test of two games, everyone's courage has become bigger and bigger.After all, judging from their experience, unless their own death violates the rules of the game, this game will not let the player die in the initial exploration stage.So everyone is quite interested in exploring right now.

Duan Yi naturally formed a team with Gu Liang. Of course, he will follow him tomorrow.

During this process, Duan Yi found that Gu Liang hadn't spoken.In fact, he has been very silent since entering the hotel. When everyone was exploring the hotel together, he kept his head down and followed the crowd, looking very inconspicuous.

Duan Yi knew that his cousin had never talked much, and sometimes he would appear cold and difficult to get along with.But not expressing any opinions has never seemed like something he can do.Gu Liang's personality is actually quite strong, and he has the potential to be a leader.

Walking to the fountain, taking advantage of the lack of people at this moment, Duan Yi asked him: "Why have you been silent? Do you think my current speculation is correct?"

Gu Liang looked at him, and replied lightly: "Shoot the bird that stands out."

Duan Yi understood—his brother came to lurk.

There is probably some kind of monitoring method in this game, and Gu Liang is using his way to evade supervision.

Pretentiously sighing, Duan Yi said: "It's over, I still want to paddle with you to get this dungeon over."

Gu Liang patted him on the shoulder. "On your own. You can do it."

"Jack the Ripper..." Duan Yi read the name of the dungeon and asked Gu Liang, "This seems to be a famous serial murder case. Do you know what happened?"

In Duan Yi's eyes, Gu Liang is a walking encyclopedia, shining with wisdom all over his body.

At this moment, he didn't realize that the way he looked at Gu Liang was full of the admiration and admiration that his younger brother had for his elder brother.

But from tomorrow's point of view, his eyes were full of anticipation, eager to the point where it was almost too much.

So, behind Duan Yi not noticing, standing in the shadow cast by the billboard tomorrow, subconsciously frowned.

Gu Liang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but tomorrow he suddenly said, "Brother Xiao Yi, I understand this matter."

In the center of the square is a fountain made of marble. Under the orange sun at three o'clock in the afternoon, the water waves and marble are all beautiful.The fountain is surrounded by a row of medieval Western-style buildings. Several white pigeons flew low along the roof, and finally perched on the spire of the white church.

The scenery is picturesque, and the facial features are extremely delicate tomorrow, standing in it, also looks like a painting.

Turning around, looking at tomorrow for a while, Duan Yi said: "Okay. Then talk about it."

Tomorrow said: "In the 19s, a series of serial murders occurred in the Whitechapel area of ​​East London. The murderer killed at least five people. The Whitechapel area was a gathering place for immigrants at that time, and it can be regarded as a slum. And the five The victims were all prostitutes living at the bottom of society. The murderer himself wrote a letter to the news agency, claiming that he was the real murderer of the serial murder, and he called himself 'Jack the Ripper'."

Pause, take a look at Duan Yi's expression, and say again tomorrow: "That's all I know. I don't know more details."

"You have made it very clear." Duan Yi said, "Let's get a general understanding of the background. After all, this is a copy with its own separate plot."

Leaving the fountain, the three of them went to the white church first.

The church is not big, it is estimated to be only about [-] square meters. At the moment, the church is closed, and there is no one around.After walking around the church, the three found that there was no way to get in for the time being, so they went to the police station instead.

There are no policemen in the police station, only an old man who is the gatekeeper.

The old man was deaf and couldn't hear clearly. Duan Yi asked many times before finally finding out clearly. The police were on holiday recently, so no one was here.The matter of solving the case was completely handed over to the psychic, that is, the 12 players this time.

Regarding the murder case, the old man didn't know anything about it.

Like Lisa, the proprietress of the hotel, the old man just sang a song: "Jack the Ripper was killed, Pauline and Xi Fei walked in the white church, the footsteps of the sniper sounded, Jack the Ripper came... "

The police aren't there, but the murder files should still be here.

Thinking of this, Duan Yi and the three of them entered the police station.

The police station has only two floors.On the first floor are reception rooms, interrogation rooms and cells; on the second floor are offices, conference rooms and archives.

The door here was not locked, and when they walked into the archives room, they found the information easily—there were photos of the scene of the death of each deceased, and the notes on solving the case written by the police themselves; there were even the relationship between the victims on the blackboard and brief case analysis.

So Duan Yi, Gu Liang and tomorrow stayed in the file room for a whole afternoon.

During the period, other players came to find them one after another. In the end, No. 3 Peng Cheng, No. 9 Xu Ruofan, and No. 12 female high school student Yin Yingying stayed here to search for information with them.

They were very rewarding, and basically figured out the context of the serial murders.

第一起凶杀案并不是在10月1日发生的，而是在更早前的9月1日，第一个死者叫玛丽；第二起凶杀案则发生在9月3日，死者叫安妮。

Both were prostitutes, and they died in the same way, both by bullets to the heart.Therefore, the police speculated that this was a serial murder case and named it the "Whitechapel Serial Murder Case".

After nearly a month of investigation, the police caught the murderer.

At first the police suspected that the murderer was a man named Tom, who was a painter.

The reason why he was targeted was because after checking the relationship networks of the two victims, it was found that this man had relationships with both Mary and Anne.He was a whore client, and Mary and Anne were on an exceptionally good terms with him.

Tom's suspicion is too great, but there is a fatal problem-he can't use a gun.

He couldn't use a gun, and certainly couldn't shoot Mary and Anne.

So the police had to search again.

In the end, the police found a gun and bullets from his home, but it was his wife who used the weapon.

Therefore, Tom's wife, Nicole, was identified as the murderer.As for the motive, it was out of jealousy—her husband didn't love herself, but actually fell in love with cheap prostitutes in the slums. Nicole couldn't stand it, so she killed her.

On September 9, Nicole was detained by the police station and locked in a cell on the first floor of this building.

However, on October 10, there was a third murder—a prostitute named Pauline was shot dead.

On the morning of October 10, Nicole, who was considered the murderer, was hanged in the square in front of the police station, and everyone witnessed her death.

But in the afternoon of this day, the fourth murder occurred, a prostitute named Xi Fei died.

The last is October 10rd.This morning, Aga died of bullets, she was the fifth prostitute to die.That afternoon, the prostitute Rae also died, she was the sixth victim.

That is to say, from September 9 to October 1, a total of 10 prostitutes died; during this period, the police caught the suspected murderer Nicole and hanged her.But after Nicole died, the murders continued.

The only possible real murderer was killed, but the murders did not stop, and the police could only believe that Nicole was not the murderer.The people scolded the police for their incompetence, and the police were helpless, and finally invited 12 psychics.

Peng Cheng went through the incident with everyone, and couldn't help howling: "Fuck, what is this, it feels so difficult. Is any of us a policeman? Who will solve the case?"

Finding a notebook, Duan Yi sorted out the timeline of the whole incident, and then said, "It seems that there is no problem at the moment." He turned his head and looked at Gu Liang again, "What do you think?"

Gu Liang walked up to him, took the pen from him, and drew a circle on the name "Rui".With his other hand, he took a photo, which was a black and white photo taken at a death scene.

The deceased in the black-and-white photo is Rui Yi. She died on the afternoon of October 10. She was the sixth and last victim so far.

Duan Yi asked: "What do you think is the problem?"

Gu Liang pointed to the gun on the photo and said: "There is only a gun next to her body. And her index finger is on the trigger."

The gun held by the corpse is a very popular revolver in the late 19th century. This gun has smooth lines, a blued surface, and a dark blue body. It has good balance, low recoil, and very accurate shooting. high.

Duan Yi carefully observed the gun, then picked up the police notes they found just now and said: "Yes, the police here have written, suspecting that she committed suicide."

Speaking of this, Duan Yi's eyes lit up: "Hey? Is it possible that she is the real murderer? After killing all the people she wanted to kill, she simply committed suicide. Didn't the murder case continue later? Wait... no ..."

Immediately afterwards, Duan Yi retorted: "But if this is the case, the police have already found the murderer, so there is no need to find us."

There were a total of six victims in this serial murder case, as well as a murderer who was unjustly killed.

But why did the features of suspected suicide appear only at the death scene of the sixth victim?

Gu Liang handed the photo to Duan Yi and said: "You are right. If this person is not the murderer and she did not commit suicide, then why the real murderer only created the illusion of suicide on her body is very strange. Let's take a look later."

After reading the file room, everyone went to the police office to look through it. When it was dinner time, they walked towards the hotel.

Duan Yi habitually walked in the front, and he didn't know when Gu Liang disappeared, probably at the end of the line again.Duan Yi hurriedly turned his head to look for him, fearing that his cousin would get lost.

Finally seeing Gu Liang, he was relieved and turned his gaze back.

Tomorrow, I had a panoramic view of what he was doing, and approached him and asked, "Are you familiar with that Mr. Yang?"

Duan Yi explained casually: "Oh, we grew up together. I call him brother."

Duan Yi thought he would say something else, but he fell silent.

Blinking his eyes, Duan Yi wanted to ask him a few words, but Peng Cheng's voice came over. "By the way, have you gone to the row of crappy houses opposite the hotel? Just over the fountain—"

Following Peng Cheng's fingers, Duan Yi looked at the row of old houses. At this moment, the sun was setting, and the water in the fountain was coated with gold. The golden water smudged the old houses very softly, like a picture old photo.

Peng Cheng winked at Duan Yi. "There are a lot of NPCs living there, all of them are... all prostitutes, and some of them are quite beautiful. When we passed by in the afternoon, they even took the initiative to invite us to enter the house. Haha, I'm embarrassed..."

"Where are you embarrassed?" 9

No. Xu Ruofan mercilessly exposed his lies, "I think Wu Junlan was there at the time, you just want to pretend that you are a gentleman."

Peng Cheng said righteously: "I... I came to this police station later, but I have been reading materials with you all the time! I am very serious!"

Seeming to have thought of something suddenly, a gossip expression appeared on his face, he glanced left and right, Xu Ruofan said in a low voice: "The new No. 10 player entered the house with a prostitute. I don't know what will happen. Let's wait and see. You are too brave to be seduced by an NPC."

Duan Yi heard this: "..."

——This man is indeed not ordinary.

Today's dinner was made by the proprietress Lisa. It included mashed potatoes, steak, buttered bread, and black tea. The taste was actually very ordinary, but compared to the canned and dehydrated vegetables in the previous copy, these foods were already very good.

During the meal, there were only 11 players present.

Player No. 10 did not come back for a long time. When everyone decided to go to him after dinner, he appeared at the main entrance of the hotel with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"Fuck, brother, what's wrong with you?" Peng Cheng on the 3rd asked him.

Number 10's face turned red at first, and then turned blue again. "I... so what... went to the row of houses across the street. It's kind of like a red-light district. Me and a woman..."

Peng Cheng had a look of disbelief. "Isn't it? You went to an NPC?"

"Well. Then she asked me for money. How can I have money in this dungeon world? She called the whole street of women to come out and beat me. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have died there. These people are so cruel .Is this the risk of death in this world?"

All other players: "..."

At 10 o'clock in the evening, in room 7.

It's time to draw an identity again.

Duan Yi picked up the tablet and saw a few large characters on it: "Player No. 7, your identity in this game is [Rogue]."
