The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 181 University Establishment Plan
See how a true detective works.

Gwen folded her hands and watched the gloved detective work. In order to provide a little motivation for the other party, Gwen hooked the silver string with her feet, and the other end of the silver string was tied around the other party's neck.Although the detective complained a little, "Should I kiss the ring on your foot next?", but after Gwen responded cleverly, "I can kiss the lips of your severed head", he did things obediently.

Talos half-kneeled on the ground, carefully inspecting the two corpses.Pinch open the mouth of the corpse, turn over the collar, destructively pull the sternum, collect the scorched clues, and even take off the pants and shoes of the lower half of the corpse, some of the unsightly scenes made Gwen wrinkle eyebrows, but she whistled happily.

Seems like a great harvest.

"this person…"

She paused for a moment, "...they are not considered figures in their clubs, but ordinary lower-level management, who belong to the kind of people who exploit their own people. It is a ginger tea cat-type Verge, and it is very likely that it originated from the Fellowship. The exterior Newcastle Waters."

So far, the detective has shown the detective's working attitude.

What happened after that made Gwen incomprehensible.

Just under his supervision, I saw the detective take out first a red chalk from the material bag bound by the thigh strap of his tights, then incense candles, cat hair bags, gold and silver coins, and wooden marches. An icon of a goddess.

"Stop, stop!" Gwen yelled to stop.

"Huh? Why are you calling to stop?" Talos looked puzzled.

"What are you going to do? Take out these things..." Gwen kicked back with her left foot, and Yinxian pulled the other party closer.

Talos pulled the silver string and felt that the flexibility and firmness of this thing were dozens of times more than he expected, and he reluctantly introduced it honestly: "Performing a psychic ritual, this person has no defenses. The items and preparations for the psychic ceremony, so that there may be gains or no gains, it’s not that I’m talking nonsense, but based on reality-if you don’t make preparations, it may be that this is a small shrimp, or the other party’s club is a Small shrimp."

"Aren't you a detective?"

"Ah? Detectives can't be psychic? Detectives are so inconvenient!" Talos raised his index finger, "What is the purpose of being a detective? It is to find the truth, to know the whole story. So how important is the means? No It's important. The most famous detective in the detective world is a trainer, she has reached an information exchange contract with three giant cat lights, and with the cat lights to collect information, she will naturally become a very good detective."

What's the difference between you and a necromancer?
But needless to say, Gwen was only a little more vigilant in her heart.Seeing Gwen's face, Talos remained expressionless like a narrow-minded bereaved girl, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

It's hard to say who the mind flayer is.

But the mind flayer in front of him has great potential.

After hearing the news of Lal's death, Talos combined some information and came to a conclusion of 'deceived death'.If it wasn't for cheating his death, she really couldn't believe that that shrewd man would die in the mind flayer's ghost story, the ghost story is terrifying, and the ghost story is very cute.Because for a person like Lal, strange talk is unlikely to kill him, and it is impossible to hurt him.

If it is fake death, then the danger and return rate of mind flayers can be seen.

There is no need for Lal to pursue this kind of high-risk and high-return investment, but Talos is different. He was born in the same area as Lal, worked in the same profession, and studied in the same school, but his reputation is not obvious.In order to make her famous, in order to exercise the source of strength in her heart, she decided to go through a situation that was so dangerous that Lal would have to feign death to escape.

Mind Flayer Rebellion.

Or it could be said that it was the chaos of strange stories, the scene of the fellow countryman has changed too fast recently.The authorities were just about to praise Long Yan for his good management, and he didn't suffer much loss during the long night, which reserved precious vitality for the island's development strategy.But in the blink of an eye, it was never expected that the "Ghost Story Rebellion" would break out under Long Yan's rule, which was embarrassing.

There are four levels of chaos in Utopia.

Ends with a 'vicious incident', judging by recent events, is the defection of Lizzie from the academy.Also known as a very serious event.

It ends with a "major hazard event". The latest major hazard event is Long Night, which is a terrible event that will kill several town-level train passengers if it is not handled well.

It ends with the "heinous and extremely criminal incident", which is quite serious and even subversive to the urban level. The three strange stories of the mind flayer, the rainy night butcher, and the fog murderer are composed of this incident. A total of dozens of high-ranking officials died , Thousands of mutant monsters were released, and the Utopians realized for the first time that 'how terrible power it means to capture the power of monsters'.

Even professors who are highly respected and have achieved a lot of achievements have fallen into evil ways because of this, frantically pursuing the power of ghost stories.

The last category is the 'chaos' that the people of Utopia try to avoid mentioning as much as possible.

In the history of Utopia, there have been more than [-] such horrific incidents, each of which resulted in the starvation death of several high-level car captains.Seriously, even a large number of commander-level vehicles were killed in battle. The most famous one was the "Rebellion of the Immortals". Four of them lost their family names, and one family lost four generations, winning the game for Utopia.

This is the only superlative event that a Utopian can speak of with pride.

The rebellion of ghost stories—on this scale, Lal's suspended animation can be said to be a very reasonable thing.

If you can get a share of it
……

The soul of the corpse was called out.

This is a person whose soul looks much older than his body. Gwen looked at the face of the corpse on the ground, and then at the face of this spirit body, feeling a little strange.

"Is that so?"

Talos said softly, "It's another cult that consumes people's souls to obtain source power. It uses the thickness of a large-scale burning spiritual body to burst out the light of source power for a short time. Coupled with enough stupidity, Through blind faith, a little source of power has been used, and this is the consumables of paganism."

"Now, soul, answer my question!"

She raised her voice and yelled on the main road like this: "Where do you come from? What kind of paganism do you believe in? What's your purpose?"

There is nothing to say about where it came from. It is indeed from the train near the fellow, a place where you can't get enough food.

However, the pagan religion he believed in revealed the intelligence value that made Gwen shine.

This person came from a pagan sect called the Many-Faced Mist Mind Demon Sect, not to mention relatively heretical among mind flayers, at least extremely heretical.They confuse the image of the Mist Slayer with the mind flayer, forming a strange belief called the 'Invisible Mist Flayer'.

But speaking of weirdness, Gwen glanced at Talos with a look that didn't know where to start.

The 'March is a Goddess' believed by Talos is not inferior to this invisible fog demon in terms of heresy level.

The Invisible Fog Heart Demon Sect sounds heresy enough, but in terms of scale, it is actually very huge.It spreads all over the line from the hometown to the homecoming. There are a total of sixteen parishes, and it has most of the claims of the mind flayer sect. It is simply the top-level church configuration.

Even people are a little willing to listen to what kind of thought this sect is promoting.

The core idea of ​​the Invisible Mist Demon is like a pot of poison. They believe in a kind of 'art', and they believe in the belief that fear is art.Fog represents the uncertainty of cloudy or sunny, and the old era of confusion.The mind flayer represents the evil, the weirdness that frightens people so that they cannot go out.The combination of the two has actually formed a trend of thought called fear nostalgia.

Through fear, terror, recall the heyday of the Gray Kingdom and the Red Kingdom.

They admire all retro, such as the notorious right of the first night, the notorious slavery, etc., they want to live the darkest life——

So, what can you get?

Peace, and stability, and a kind of country-by-neighborhood joy.They believe that the suffering of Utopia comes from the spirit of rebellion, from the spirit of restraint, and from a kind of curse that princes and generals prefer.If it weren't for the rebellion, the world ruled by the immortals would be peaceful. Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people every year to fatten the immortals is a drop in the bucket for the entire Utopia, and slavery is peace.

This distorted trend of thought has been accepted on a large scale.

Accepted by worshipers of mind flayers.

Even though Gwen has now changed the way mind flayers behave, it is still explained in this teaching.

……

"Only killing the evil is to kill the evil and restless people. If you are peaceful, you will not be harmed. If you are obedient, you will not be harmed. Tranquility creates strength, and obedience brings peace."

Gwen repeated the words in her mind with a little disgust.

This is simply castration.

From the double castration of philosophy and theology, it is a trend of thought that wipes out the bloodiness of the people of Utopia.But at the same time, the promised peace and stability are too longing for the people of Utopia. They have longed for stability on the land of Utopia countless times, but all they get is disappointment.

But at the same time, not all Utopians who yearn for stability and peace joined in.

There are also a large number of villains with "little cleverness" joining in.They felt the prospect of this pagan religion, and decided to bring their talents, which were not outstanding compared with ordinary employees, to this pagan religion, so as to have some status, so that they could exploit others openly.

This aggravates their loyalty.

As for what the purpose is, it is ridiculous.

The purpose of this person is to rob, and to satisfy some extra quirks by the way.

As for what the hobby is, I can't elaborate.

……

Although Gwen had already vowed that he would never be surprised by anything that Talos detective brought out again, after just a few minutes of this vow, the other party took out a small bottle containing an unknown blue liquid from his pocket and made a statement. It was broken after a horrible event.

Detective Talos poured the liquid over the corpse.

The corpse made a sound like frying oil, and then slowly melted, turned into foam, and melted.

Talos turned his head contentedly after finishing, but saw Gwen's vigilant eyes, and explained:

"...Protecting secrets is also one of the jobs of detectives. When encountering such a corpse that is inconvenient to restrain, and after performing psychic surgery, we must deal with it cleanly. It is not a good thing to revive its dead soul. , it might turn into something like a harmful evil spirit."

She has proven her worth.

Gwen removed the silver string, and finally asked why the other party came to look for her.

"I hope to write a book called "Strange Talk." Talos said, "I will never be able to surpass a dead man on the way of detective, so I need to go another way to become famous."

Change to a new track.

Gwen doesn't know whether it's better to be bold or confident. Changing the track sounds very reliable. Before setting off, she always thinks about the future infinitely, but later she realizes that it is not the same thing at all.

But seeing her like this, Gwen still made a promise: "I will do my best to help you complete, but specifically, what do you need me to do for you?"

"What you are going to do for me is extremely dangerous, I have to say this, but I can bring you back two township-level support..."

Talos did a lot of homework before coming, "The archaeologists, jurists, and high-quality residents you are looking for, I can give you back, as long as you promise to Yuanli, I can bewitch you Come to a..."

She pronounced the sacred word: "...university."

This is so important.

It's so important to Gwen.

Gwen now has the magic power infected by the witch's blood in his body. The powerful efficiency makes the mechanical heart continue to overload, but at the same time his body functions are getting stronger and stronger.At this time, he felt that the witch's blood was like the collapsed jade in the god of death, gradually endowing him with an evolution of the ability to transcend the body structure.But can the body handle it?
He worries about that.

At present, his first evolutionary template is Mihaila's body, that is, a body with strange power.

But just like that, the burden of the witch's blood is already too strong.

He tried to find the answer with the AI ​​witch, and the other party told him that there are differences in levels among witches, but no matter what level of witches, as long as they are witches, their blood has this terrible poison of evolution and corruption.

This kind of evolution and corruption is the pain that non-witch creatures must go through in order to obtain magic power.

Although witches are not the only ones with magical powers in this world, they are the most famous and powerful among them, and Gwen has also embarked on this path.

For this, he needs more than just high-quality sources as residents.

There were also archaeologists who came to excavate the remains of the witch for him, and found research materials from them.

Scholars are needed to study how long his body can last.

All of these seem to be accomplished by 'building a university'.
