Chapter 236 236. Investigator Credentials

3 points in the early hours.

Bai Ye returned home.

After that incident happened at the subway station in the morning, Bai Ye was in no mood to continue to the event site of the 'Magic World Engine' company.

He transferred to the subway line to Shuguang District, and met Qin Yang in a cafe next to the No. [-] Hospital in the city.

After telling Qin Yang the details, the two analyzed and discussed the matter.

Qin Yang felt that there was an obvious design behind this matter, and suggested that Bai Ye ignore the tall and thin man's invitation.

However, Bai Ye still has the right to decide, as this is his personal matter after all.

Although he agreed with Qin Yang's statement, he was still very curious about the fact that the tall and thin man knew about his heart problem.

And to find out this, he had to go to Jinfulai Bar for an appointment.

Qin Yang immediately expressed that he would accompany him there, and tried to investigate the information related to the tall and thin man within these two days.

This little boy always spared no effort when assisting Bai Ye. Although the two parties were friends on the surface, in fact, what Qin Yang did was more like Bai Ye's brother.

Later, Bai Ye also mentioned to Qin Yang what happened in the game. Although Qin Yang didn't play "Pale Dawn", he also felt that this situation was a bit strange.

His thinking is similar to that of Bai Ye. He thinks that he can start to investigate from the developer of the game, and if he can find out the person who deliberately planted eggs for Bai Ye, he may be able to unlock the so-called key to Bai Ye in advance. information.

Today's episode is like a bomb with a very long fuse. It feels urgent and important, but in fact there is still a long time before it explodes.

With this mentality, after bidding farewell to Qin Yang, Bai Ye went directly to 'Ye Xiao' again.

Now that he got home from get off work, he put on his helmet and logged in to the game as usual.

……

After entering the preparation space, he received a new system prompt:
——A new letter has been received in your mailbox.

"The reply finally came."

Among the 4 NPCs he unlocked the mailbox, Rick Jones and Henry Wilson are dead, and the story line of the chainsaw door has ended. It is impossible for Dr. Lawrence Gordon to take the initiative to write to him. There was only Joey Fox.

After clicking on the blue mailbox on the workbench, the system really reminded him that he had received a letter from Joey Fox.

After reading the letter, an ancient handwritten letter slowly unfolded before his eyes.

'Bai Ye, I'm sorry for taking so long to reply to your letter.

After receiving your letter, I immediately arranged for a manpower to investigate. We checked all the materials and records sealed in the Explorers' Association, and collected relevant clues from the outside world on the "Natural Museum" according to the old method.

It took nearly half a year, and it was not until the end of last month that the investigation had some clues.

We received a letter from an old professor from the town of Yarkham in North America. He claimed that the mysterious town of Innsmouth is a place cursed by the gods. It is actually located less than ten miles northeast of Yarkham. At a location within [-] kilometers, there was a fire that could not be extinguished, and the entire village was burned to ashes.

After the fire the town of Innsmouth was shrouded in a dreadful mist of shadows and disappeared from sight.

As time went by, as those older generations who knew Innsmouth passed away one after another, the existence of Innsmouth was gradually forgotten by the world.

The old professor also heard the town of Innsmouth mentioned by the oldest family descendant in the town by chance.

He immediately thought of the content of our solicitation of clues published in the "Natural History", and sent us a letter.

It is worth mentioning that the old professor also told us in the letter that he had seen the weird sculpture we were looking for in the ancestral home of that old family.

Perhaps there will be some inseparable connection between the sculpture and the town of Innsmouth...

Considering that you once obtained two sculptures with Rick Jones and have a deeper understanding of the whole incident than other explorers, the Explorers' Association decided to send you to take full charge of this trip to Arkham Town investigation events.

Sculptures, gemstones, and an 'Investigator' ID have been mailed to you along with the letter.

I hope you can gain something in the town of Yarkham, and reveal the truth hidden behind it.

Well, good luck!
—Your partner, Joey Fox. '

……

Compared with the homely tone when she wrote to Bai Ye for the first time, Joy's letter paper this time is full of concise and capable taste, giving people the feeling that she took time out of her busy schedule to write this reply letter everywhere. .

"The town of Innsmouth really appeared in the explorer's world, and it also established a connection with the two weird sculptures."

With these two points alone, the two worlds are enough to be connected in series to form the same world, but the time points of the separation of the two sides are different.

"The time node of the explorer world is earlier than that of the mukoff company, and what happened in this world is somewhat similar to the prequel of the whole plot story."

Bai Ye turned the letter to the bottom, and extracted the 'attachment' attached to the letter.

——You got [Strange Sculpture] X2.

——You have obtained [Sparkling Gemstone] X2
——You have obtained [Investigator Certificate].

Bai Ye only checked the investigator's credentials made from the parchment:

【Investigator certificate】

[Type: rare positioning props, consumables]

[Special Effect 1: After using it, your next game will be positioned. 】

[Special Effect 2: By carrying this item on your body, you will temporarily obtain a special status as an investigator. 】

【Load: 1】

[Remarks: If you want to escape from fatal danger, you may need a 'friend'. 】

"Temporary special status? Don't impose any restrictions on me?"

Affected by his previous identity as a reporter, Bai Ye had no expectations for the special identity arranged by the system.

He packed everything in his bag and chose to activate the special effects on the investigator's voucher.

- Your next game has been positioned.

After opening the door of the preparation space and entering, the scene in front of him quickly darkened and turned into a scene of billowing smoke.

The roar of a car engine first appeared in my ear, and two seconds later, there was a shock and jolt in my body, and the thick smoke in front of me gradually dissipated.

Bai Ye noticed that he was sitting in the back compartment of an old-fashioned car. The car was driving on a dirt road in the countryside, and the trees on both sides of the road kept retreating backwards.

In terms of time, it was at dusk, and only a little afterglow of the setting sun remained on the road. In the distance, there were large dark clouds in the sky, and the black shadows cast by the trees were long and obliquely drawn.

The driver was a middle-aged man with a mustache, his eyes were fixed on the front, his face was expressionless, and he looked like 'I refuse to communicate with you'.

Bai Ye looked forward through the windshield again, and he noticed the outline of a town at the end of the road.
