Chapter 3170: Detective is about to die (Twenty-one)

Another piece of evidence that made Schiller feel that his speculation was correct was that the Prowler had never made a direct attack.

If the corpse stood up and made a few threatening moves, even if it had attacked, the monster would not have been able to kill three people in a row. What's more, the corpse's moves were not very powerful and no one was injured.

So how the three victims in the cabin died is worth discussing.

At this time, Schiller thought, although they seemed to see each other at the same time, did they really arrive at the same time?

Is it possible that someone actually arrived at the cabin before the others and did something, and then pretended to have just arrived when the others came?

The key is whether the way they arrive is really like in the game, appearing out of thin air, or whether it is like in the cutscenes, where the system controls people to walk into a certain place.

If it is the latter, then it gives those who arrive early plenty of time to prepare, and everything he sees after opening his eyes may have been arranged in advance by others.

Too many thoughts lingered in Schiller's mind. He tried to find doubts in everything he experienced. It seemed that he felt that there were many doubts in every incident, but he could not find any very favorable evidence.

Schiller went back to thinking from the perspective of motivation.

If this is really just a very ordinary small village, then no one would care whether the people here are dead or alive. When some people are making up their background stories, they will definitely add something extraordinary to this small village in order to make their motives more reasonable.

For example, it may have been a gathering place for a cult, a chemical leak may have occurred there, a landmark building may have some mysterious imagery, etc.

In this way, they can say that they came to investigate these things, and the story can be made sense.

And they don't know what stories the other party has made up, so it is possible that the above anomalies are superimposed.

Schiller remembered that the opening animation was played first, and then they started to click on attribute points and compile stories. In other words, the only thing that could not be affected by the story they compiled was the information in the opening animation. After all, it had already been shown to everyone, and it would be difficult to overturn it.

The opening only gave a few pieces of information. There was a detective who came to this small village to investigate the prowler, and a prowler did appear.

This is pitifully little information, which means that the story writer has a lot of room to play.

How did the Prowler appear? When did it first appear? What research has humans done on the Prowler? What is the villagers' attitude towards him?

These are all unknown and can be made up. Even if Schiller doesn't think about it too much, he can think of several ways to incorporate this information into his background story.

Batman and greed can't be unthinkable.

In other words, whether it is the diary or Madeline's notes, the things described on them may not be created by the Transcendents, but may very well be the setting of someone present.

Including the entire process of the disaster, such as the missing goat, the family going crazy after drinking mutton soup, the detective's invitation to come here, etc., may all be part of someone's background story.

So, why did they set these?

Even though Schiller did not set up his background story well, he could guess the attitude of the Transcendent, which is probably that you can make up whatever you want as long as it makes sense to you. The key is to make sense to yourself.

For many people, this is actually very difficult, because making up stories is also lying in a sense. People who are not good at lying are rarely good at making up stories. Most writers are born liars.

For example, you set up a person with great strength, but when he enters the story, he can't even kick open a door. This is obviously a contradiction between the character setting and the performance. If you want to make up a good story that is self-consistent, such logical contradictions cannot appear.

Assuming that Greedy really made up a story about cultivating immortals, he would have to explain in detail what it was all about.

There are immortals in this world, so how can this monster run rampant? How can the human government stand by and watch? This is the problem he needs to explain. In order to cover up this lie, he has to make up more lies and write a few more stories outside of the story.

In the end, he may have to make up the entire process of human historical evolution. Regardless of whether he can do it or not, there should be a time limit for making up stories for the transcendents. Even if he does not seek precision and only makes up an approximate time, it will not be usable. This also indirectly limits some settings that are too outrageous.

The diary and Madeline's research notes could be patches someone made to their own character, to supplement what kind of person they are and what kind of world this is.

Schiller first assumed that his inference was correct, then whose patch was the information recorded in these two notebooks?

The process of the disaster outbreak seems to complete the background story, that is, what happened to this small village, but it seems a bit long-winded and mixed with too many personal emotions.

For example, I can show that the owner of the diary loves fishing, is ugly and unlikable, but in times of crisis, the villagers are the first one to think of him. He is compassionate and sympathetic to the weak, and he was able to invite a detective, which shows that there was a story in the past.

The first time Schiller saw the diary, he immediately pictured in his mind the image of a tough guy who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, independent and free, and had a very extraordinary past.

He remembered very clearly that after reading the diary, his first feeling was that this guy might be a retired clergyman who had once been a big shot in the big city.

This kind of character creation is undoubtedly very attractive. It can be said that the characters in disaster films are the locals who can survive for at least 20 minutes. When they die in the end, they have to use their legendary experiences to encourage the protagonist, or tell some truths.

So this diary may seem to be about the outbreak of a disaster, but it is actually for the purpose of character development.

If Shiller's inference is correct, then this is definitely someone using complete information to gild their own image.

Looking at the identities of all the teammates, only the hunter played by Batman fits the image of this tough guy.

Schiller still remembered that the first thing he saw were animal skins obtained through hunting all over the cabin. If the owner of the diary was really a person who only knew how to fish, then it was impossible that he bought these animal skins from Amazon, right?

The hunter played by Batman in the main universe is actually the owner of the diary?

Thinking further, the notebook in Madeline's hand seemed to be the result of her research. It introduced to everyone in detail what the so-called weirdness was, as if it completed the weird settings.

But it also introduced Madeleine's life experience and mentioned the tragedy that Madeleine's family had suffered.

Apart from Bruce, would anyone really write about their life story in an academic paper?

Even without talking about it from a professional perspective, Schiller felt that if he saw his horrific past every time he opened his notebook, would he still have the mood to do research?

Only an enemy would write about your most horrific past everywhere, right?

It seems that this part about Madeline's life experience may also be the introduction of a certain character, providing someone with a motivation to come here.

In that tragedy, Madeline's family was almost wiped out, and only she and her youngest sister survived.

If she was the only one who survived, that would be a very classic protagonist script, but it also mentioned that her youngest sister also survived, so this shouldn't be a useless clue.

Although the notes did not seriously describe the story of Madeline's family, it is common sense to infer that she and her sister should depend on each other and have a fairly good relationship.

The elder sister came to such a remote village to do research. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow and she must have been missing for several days. Her younger sister must have come to look for her.

There were no female teammates on Schiller's team, but it was very likely that someone had some relationship with the sister, such as her boyfriend, or someone she hired to find her sister.

Judging from Madeline's age, the most likely person is Bruce. Although he likes to pretend to be young, he is indeed the youngest here. The Pale Knight is also a possibility. Schiller doesn't know his exact age, but he looks young and has a decent job.

In this case, the motives of about 2 to 3 people will be clearer.

According to the consistent style of Batman in the main universe, he must save the village, so he gave himself the identity of a tough local, which makes it most legitimate for him to save the village.

Bruce or the Pale Knight may have come to find Madeline, but it is not ruled out that they knew Madeline was doomed to die, so they wanted to inherit her will and avenge Madeline's family.

The identities and motives of the remaining people are still unclear, especially his greed. Schiller is sure that he has bad intentions and has absolutely no intention of doing anything good. If he says that he is a rich second-generation and is not joking, he is most likely here for business or political games, with the purpose of eliminating dissidents.

The painter played by the Joker is also very confusing. His identity is somewhat like that of a hermit, and it is hard to understand why he came here.

There are also Night Owl's police officers. Just now, Jeff and Night Owl had a face-to-face confrontation, and it was obvious that the two did not know each other. This proves that either one of them is from another place, or both of them are from other places.

But Jeff just said that they were outsiders, which meant that Jeff was a local. This showed that Night Owl was not a local policeman, at least not the sheriff of this village.

Thinking of this, Schiller remembered again, if the hunter played by Batman in the main universe was a local, then why didn't Jeff recognize him?

Oh, wait, Schiller put down the bread in his hand and turned to look at the main universe Batman lying there. He was not lying face up, but lying on his stomach with his face facing the wall. Jeff might not have failed to recognize him, but he just didn't see his face at all.

Assuming that the hunter played by Batman in the main universe is really a hero who wants to save the village, then he is lying here half-dead now. Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?

Schiller couldn't help but look up at Greed.

Hehe hehe
