I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 304: Psychicism
After decisively accepting the investigation.
Roger's eyes popped up with two more options.
……
"Faced with the questionable 'Death of the Apprentice', where do you plan to start your investigation? Please choose—
……
Option 1: Check the wound to determine the cause of death.
……
Option 2: Fumble the corpse to find the item.
……
Option 3: Send it to the morgue first! "
……
"I'm not good at touching corpses in public..."
Roger muttered to himself.
After finalizing option three.
He then controls the character and another colleague to lift the stretcher.
The two carried the apprentice's body to the dark part of the hospital.
……
The mortuary of the church hospital is a rather rudimentary place.
There are no rules or regulations here.
The only rules on the surface are:
All corpses may be kept in the morgue for up to 3 days.
Unclaimed for more than 3 days.
It will be handled uniformly by the church hospital.
This link is full of loopholes and flaws.
So much so that a lot of gray industries have been born.
When Roger was working the night shift.
Inadvertently bumped into a scene where the morgue keeper traded with a few men in grey.
Two corpses remained unclaimed for more than 3 days.
And in the course of their transactions.
The men in gray covered their faces the whole time, and their eyes were full of vigilance.
If Roger hadn't been very familiar with the hospital and had found a good spot to spy on, he probably wouldn't have been able to hide it from them.
Nevertheless.
Roger didn't get much useful information from the deal either.
All he knew was that the man in gray who traded with the stern-eyed old man in the administrator called himself a "mountain man".
I don't know if this is the unified name for corpse buyers.
It's still a certain kind of slang.
……
In between thoughts.
The two have reached the morgue.
Because it's summer.
A lot of people happened to die recently.
The cramped morgue is full.
The smell of corruption fills the air.
"Just leave it alone!"
"I have other jobs!"
The colleague quickly slips away.
Roger was overjoyed when he saw this.
He's figuring out how to get rid of this guy.
Who knew the other party slipped first!
A morgue is a remote place in a hospital.
No one will come during the day except for the bodyguards who carry the corpses.
As for the old man.
He is usually nocturnal.
Said to be an administrator.
The door to the morgue was wide open and he was nowhere to be seen.
But Roger didn't let up.
He placed the stretcher in the corner of the morgue.
After making sure no one is around.
This is the beginning of my own investigation.
Because he doesn't have skills like "autopsy", the options displayed are the same as before, either to see the cause of death, then to touch the body.
Considering that the body of the apprentice was transported along the way, I don't know how many people have touched it.
Roger decided to start with the wound!
……
"You spent some energy and time"
……
"Successful investigation! You have obtained the cause of death of 'Death of the Apprentice'"
……
"Cause of death: After initial wound analysis, you realize that the apprentice's death was not the apparent cause of bleeding.
You find 13 knife marks on his body.
But 12 of them were not fatal.
Only one of the knives pierced the heart.
That's probably the killer's first shot.
The follow-up 12 knives may be the other side trying to cover up.
Anyway.
The murderer is a master with a knife"
……
"New Lead Investigation Progress +30%"
……
After the last message flashed.
Roger noticed a round ball in the upper left corner of his field of vision.
Some blue liquid appears in the sphere.
Approximately occupies the volume of sphere 13.
System prompt.
This thing is a "clue ball."
Any investigation, supplemental information, etc. related to clues can lead to an increase in the charging progress of the clue ball.
It reflects the progress of the investigation.
Once progress reaches 100%.
He can reap the opportunity or opportunity related to the clue!
"Only 30%..."
Roger is a little disappointed.
He tried to return to the choice horizon and re-select "grope", but at this moment, there were footsteps outside, and Roger hurriedly stood up!
"After the "Zawaxiang Constellation" passed, the actions of these infidels became more and more rampant. "
"I only dealt with a series of cases committed by believers of the "Grail of Evil" last month, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to commit murder in broad daylight today! "
"The Rain God is above, why doesn't he just kill these cultists?"
"This should be easy for him, right?"
"So hard for us mortals!"
"So I need some comfort!"
It was a man's voice.
His tone was exhausted and complaining.
To the last sentence.
Suddenly it became a little ambiguous.
"Please focus on your work, Mr. Scott."
It was a cold female voice.
"This is not your police department office, nor my dean's office, this is the morgue..."
"Damn!"
"Does it have to be here?"
"I remember there is an administrator here!"
There was a hint of embarrassment and panic in her voice.
"It doesn't matter."
Scott's tone was sharp:
"At least let me relax before looking at the dead."
"Dear Dean Jenny... ah!"
"Hey, Jenny, don't be so ruthless, we're husband and wife, aren't we?"
"And I've never had the pleasure of being in a morgue...well...!"
The footsteps of the man and woman were getting closer.
Roger's scalp goes numb!
A choice column quickly appeared in front of his eyes!
……
"Due to your prolonged stay in the morgue, you overheard Detective Scott and Dean Jeanne's conversation, which is not out of the ordinary for a legal couple.
But considering the Church of the Rain God has always shown restraint on human nature.
Perhaps the couple didn't want to be heard by a carer about their little sex.
Please select -
……
Your high-dimensional perspective is in effect!
……
Option one: rush out of the morgue and run away without looking back.
(Selection result: 70% probability of being fired)
……
Option 2: Walk out of the morgue normally and greet them with a surprised look.
(Selection result: 30% probability of being fired)
……
Option 3: Load the corpse.
(Hidden information: Inspector Scott has a very high discrimination ability, if you like the feeling of excitement, then you can give it a try)
……
Option four: Hide in an unremarkable cubicle deep in the morgue.
(Hidden message: This is the room of the administrator, Fergil, who sleeps so hard during the day that he hardly wakes up)"
……
Between lightning and flint.
Roger had no choice but to dodge into the room.
Just three seconds after he pressed the cubicle door.
Jenny's high heels sounded right in the morgue.
The couple really seem to be planning to mess around in the morgue...
Roger touched the cold sweat on his forehead.
Looking at the layout in the cubicle.
Except for a bunk bed and necessary furniture.
There is nothing here.
Administrator Virgil is, as mentioned in the hidden message, sound asleep in bed.
At the other end of the compartment is a small door.
The small door should lead to the depths of the church hospital.
That piece Roger hasn't set foot in yet.
Although there is no choice at this moment.
But Roger is faced with the choice of staying or leaving.
If you go.
Nature is the safest.
But considering the hidden message doesn't mention this little door.
There may be tricks behind this.
Roger ponders.
Or there is a hole behind the wicket.
Or stay in the cubicle and have fun.
Considering that "Higher Dimensional Perspective" has done a lot since his arrival.
Roger decides to stay a little longer.
Even if I put up with the couple's foul language.
It's almost a few seconds later.
The woman reprimanded from the morgue:
"You wrinkled my new clothes!"
"Go away!"
"Going for business!"
Scott grunts.
The two sides struggled for a while.
A long while.
Just listen to the male voice in a sullen voice:
"Precise technique, lethal with a single knife, he is a knife teacher."
"Strange..."
"How can a barber apprentice be targeted by a knife teacher?"
The woman pondered:
"Knife teaching?"
““Blade” or “Secret Society in the Forest”? "
"Or "Ghost of the Day," "League of Conquerors," "Plow and Fire"? "
She said five rare nouns in one go.
Roger notices.
Jenny says each word.
The progress of the investigation displayed on the Clue Ball will increase by approximately 6%.
On the data bar.
……
"You have acquired knowledge: Psychic (Knife)"
……
"Clue: You learned about the five secret orders of the Sword Sect, and the enemy who killed you in your previous life may be one of them"
……
"It's hard to say..."
"The sword sect has the largest number of people, and it is mixed. In addition to the five major sects, there are many small sects. It is difficult for us to identify the murderer from the method of killing."
Scott sounds frowning:
"It looks like another unsolved case!"
Jenny calmly analyzed:
"Perhaps we can start with the identity of the deceased."
"The people of the Knife Cult are not the madmen of the Evil Cup. They rarely kill people randomly. I suspect that the origin of this barber apprentice is not simple."
"Also, his teacher is the famous barber, Old Hawk. I heard that Old Hawk intends to marry his daughter to him..."
Scott smiled:
"You mean it's a love affair?"
"Someone bought a knife teacher to do it?"
"On the land of the Rain God?"
His three yin-yang rhetorical questions in a row drew Jenny's silence.
There was a long silence in the morgue.
Scott also seems to realize something.
Then changed the subject:
"Anyway, I'll take care of this case."
"Killing by day is a challenge to the authority of the police department."
"Even if it's a knife teacher, I can still catch it!"
"Jenny..."
"Don't be too nervous. Although someone died in your hospital, it has nothing to do with you."
Jenny said angrily:
"You don't forget."
"In addition to the dean, I have other functions within the church."
Speaking of which.
Both were silent for a while.
Next.
The two chatted for a while in the morgue again.
Leaving after a while.
Until the sound of their footsteps is gone.
Roger breathed a long sigh of relief.
He hurried out of the cubicle.
After leaving the morgue and returning to work.
He was caught and scolded severely by his boss, a guy named Gorman.
To deal with a furious Gorman.
Roger had to put all his energy into his work.
Until the stars.
He was exhausted and returned to his den.
"It's really hard for ordinary people to do things."
Look at the two "energy" on the character card that are all gray.
Roger had a lot of insight in his heart.
……
After a rough dinner in a hurry.
Roger regains some energy.
Able to view clue balls.
After completing the eavesdropping.
The investigation has reached 80% progress.
There is another option next to it -
……
"Information Supplement"
……
Roger thought for a moment.
Just click on that option.
In a brand new interface.
He sees two hovering cursors and a dotted sphere.
Remarks are displayed.
Pull the cursor into the sphere to complete the supplementary investigation progress.
The two cursors are:
……
"Secret: Two-Face (Investigation Progress +30%)"
……
"Secret: Cultist (Investigation Progress +30%)"
……
"It's a shame to investigate yourself!"
See here.
How could Roger not understand the truth?
Because it's a past life.
He naturally carries two secret messages about "The Barber's Apprentice."
Any one to add.
Complete your first survey!
He now needs to think about which one to choose!
"Secret information is a consumable item and cannot be used up at one time."
"The enemy is recruited by two-faced people, so let it be!"
Think about it.
Roger got the job done quickly!
But see after the cursor is zoomed into the sphere.
The blue light skyrocketed in the latter's body.
The blue liquid quickly filled the entire sphere and even came out!
Click!
A golden light flashed.
……
"Investigation: You have new clues 'Redhead Witch', 'Ghost of the Day' and 'Blue Tobacco'"
……
"Successful initial investigation, you have received a reward: the chance of a psychic"
……
"The Psychic's Opportunity: Full Moon Night, Docklands, Merkeld's Waste Distillery"
……
"Finding Results: Through Some Hidden Technique.
You eventually learn that the deceased had allegiance to three secret societies: The Red Haired Witches, the Ghosts of the Sun, and the Blue Tobacco.
Among them, the 'Ghost of the Day' is the secret sect of the Sword Sect.
In line with Inspector Scott's judgment of the murderer.
……
If you want to continue investigating.
You can try your luck at 'Fili Bar' or 'White Shark Boat' in the Docklands"
……
"Warning: Official Sword Sect members are at least two-star combat power, please proceed with caution"
……
"In other words, is the enemy's combat power at least equal to what I am now?"
Roger felt a little tricky.
As he ponders how to get more information from the Docklands.
Lines of text appeared again on the data column.
……
"Investigation: Your investigation progress exceeded 100%, and you unlocked the hidden opportunity (the barber apprentice's relic)"
……
"The Barber's Apprentice's Relics: Tile District, Hughes Cake Shop, Sewers, Secret Doors, and Secret Chambers"
……
"You unlocked a new map: Wafang District"
……
See here.
Roger was overjoyed, but suddenly thought of another thing——
"If I spend my life finding a place to bury my remains before I die."
"Then at the third advent, will there be a chance to inherit these things?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
The explorability of Legacy of Time is far beyond Roger's expectations.
If at first Roger was just taking one vote and leaving.
So now he has put his attitude in a very correct way.
He feels like he's getting into shape!
Thinking has also become clearer!
……
"The dock area is a mixed bag, I'm afraid there are even more powerful characters."
"My current combat power is not suitable for further investigation~IndoMTL.com~ I might as well get the relics from my previous life and find a way to get in touch with the system of 'Psychic'..."
After determining the policy.
Roger pressed Skip Night.
The next two days.
He goes to work as usual.
Until the evening of the third day.
He slipped through the back door of the hospital early while his boss was away.
30 minutes later.
Roger came to the tiled area.
In a deserted alley behind Hughes Cake Shop.
He found a narrow sewer entrance.
After some groping.
He found the secret door left by the barber apprentice!
……
The secret door is more crowded.
Roger can't even stand upright.
After a rough crawl.
Roger reaches the end of the Chamber of Secrets.
In the dark.
He touches a wooden box.
After opening the box.
He pulled out two books and some hard stuff.
Stuff these things into your underwear pockets.
Roger hurried out of the sewers.
Then took advantage of the night to return home.
……
"Record: You have acquired "Notes of a Barber's Apprentice""
……
"You have acquired The Call of the Earth (Introductory Book of Ascension)"
……
"You got a small bag of gems"
……
"Your wealth has increased!"
……
"Wealth: ★★☆☆☆" (You have a windfall that can support you to splurge for six months, or save more time, if you can cash it out)
……
"Sure enough."
"The fastest way to increase your wealth is always to inherit an inheritance..."
Roger groaned.
Opened the "Notes of a Barber Apprentice".
……
