Chapter 879 Don’t think too much
Chen Mu's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
"Let's take a break now. We can't stop from 3 a.m. until tomorrow. The final battle with the man-eating monster is about to begin. Everyone should get enough rest and don't let down."
Although the players were nervous, they were all a little sleepy.
Theoretically, the more nervous you are, the harder it is to sleep. However, since people eat very little, it is easy to feel sleepy when there is a lack of food.
This is also why many people who died of starvation were unconscious at the last moment.
Sleep can reduce consumption and also retain more energy.
Everyone still did as they did last night, working in groups of two, taking turns keeping watch, with each group keeping watch for two hours.
Chen Mu and Jiao Chong'e took a rest first.
Lying on the bed, Chen Mu's mind was always thinking about the clues at hand.
There is now strong evidence that proves that Old Man Ma's granddaughter is a cannibal.
But deep down in his heart, in his subconscious, Chen Mu vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong.
In the logic of deducing that the granddaughter is a cannibal, there are many important clues that are not used.
A particularly important point is the door that becomes heavier at midnight. Apart from that, there are many details that cannot be explained logically.
For example, the old man clearly knew that his granddaughter was the one who had a ghost marriage, but he still revealed the specific information to the players and even said that it was presided over by the village chief.
It was also with the help of the old man's information that Chen Mu found the village chief and discovered that the old man was Old Man Ma, and then deduced that the granddaughter was the cannibal.
Another point is that the villagers must be aware of the ghost marriage.
Didn’t those villagers ever doubt the old man?
If you had doubts, why didn't you take any action against the old man?
As he thought about it, Chen Mu felt dizzy and he always felt that he was missing some important clue.
Now the clues are like scattered pearls, jumping in my mind.
Chen Mu urgently needed a thread to string these pearls together.
This clue is sometimes called inspiration.
But... Chen Mu found that he couldn't find this inspiration.
The night grew darker and midnight approached.
The players took turns, Chen Mu and Jiao Chong'e kept watch, while Zhang Shu slept with the charming girl.
The night was long, and Chen Mu told Jiao Chonge about his doubts.
After listening to this, Jiao Chong'e also shook his head, "Chen Mu, I think you are worrying too much. Now the situation is very clear. Old Man Ma's granddaughter is the cannibal ghost, and Old Man Ma is involved.
Those clues you mentioned, like the door becoming heavier at midnight, etc. Let me tell you this, I'm actually a specialist for a certain organization and have a lot of experience.
I have done a lot of strange missions and I have more experience than you young people.
According to my experience, what you call 'useless clues' are most likely useless.
In a weird mission, not all clues are useful. Sometimes useless clues appear, which interfere with our thinking, which is normal.
Don't think too much, just ignore the clues that interfere with your vision. The more you think, the more tired you will be.
As for the illogicality you mentioned, this is a weird mission after all, so it is not normal to have some logical loopholes.
The boss who designs weird tasks is not an omnipotent genius, so there will always be some unreasonable things. As long as the overall logic works and the story has that meaning, it’s fine.”
Hearing Jiao Chong'e's comfort, Chen Mu's expression did not relax much.
Is it really as Jiao Chonge said?
Jiao Chong'e said he had experience, and Chen Mu knew very well that in terms of experience, no one could compare to him.
There are indeed some interfering clues in the weird missions.
But please note that interference clues ≠ useless clues.
Many interfering clues can be seen in the end, and they also play a role in the weird missions, playing the negative role of misleading, suggesting, and misinterpreting.
However, the clue "the door becomes heavier at midnight" is an important clue in itself. Even if it is a distraction, it should at least play a starting role.
So far, Chen Mu has not figured out what the interference was.
Is it misleading players?
No!
Any hints?
Did not see it.
Does it cause players to misinterpret the story?
No.
"The doors get heavier at midnight" is totally useless!
In a novel, it is just padding the words at best and has no effect on advancing the plot.
In a weird mission, are there really clues to this kind of "water plot"?
Chen Mu thought that was unlikely.
As for those illogical parts, Jiao Chong'e simply brushed them off by saying "It's normal for a story to have some bugs."
But Chen Mu has participated in many strange missions, and he still believes in the logic of the strange missions.
Not to mention that he has never seen any bugs. Even if there are bugs, such unreasonable loopholes will not appear in a weird scene of the Weird Lord level.
Old Man Ma revealed the information to the player's granddaughter, but the villagers never doubted him...
It's irrational no matter how you think about it.
