Chapter 3244: What is the plot of the replay? (Part )
As soon as Batman finished speaking, everyone was silent for a moment. The agent asked, "So, you added the setting that the villagers of Faraines once worshipped Dagon on the lighthouse?"
"Yes, but I only set that they were performing some religious rituals related to strange events, and gained something and paid a price. I didn't set anything specific because I don't know what gods there are in this world."
"Theory of God's Choice." Pride said, "You have made this village a place that is unique."
"Yes, because I think this makes sense." Batman nodded and said, "I know there must be more than one player. If everyone has to edit their own background story, not everyone will set themselves as a local. And there must be a reason for so many outsiders to gather here."
"Although you will definitely give yourselves various motives, in this kind of weird plot, the theory of destiny and the theory of destiny are more reasonable."
"It's not that you are here by coincidence, but because this place itself is extraordinary, it attracted you here."
"Look at them." The Beyonder said, "Only Batman considered the rationality of the overall plot, and you all just want to cause trouble for me!"
"Wait." The agent suddenly realized, and he said, "So Dagon's sudden contact with you was not a coincidence, nor was it caused by psychoanalysis, but your original setting."
Everyone else looked at Batman.
Batman nodded and said, "That's right. Since I don't know much about the god settings in the game world, but I don't want to miss this part of the resources, I set myself up to help Doggett track down the truth behind the strange events, and thus came into contact with some weird knowledge."
The Transcendent said: "Yes, Batman did not say what this knowledge is specifically, but my setting is that Docter traced the content of the shipwreck."
The others looked at the agent again, because all the clues to the two shipwrecks were basically investigated by the agent, including sailor Peak's diary and what happened on Jeff's ship.
"I think I know some clues." Bruce suddenly said. When everyone else looked at him, he said, "After I went to Higeltek, I used the Internet to investigate and found that there was no information about the three ghost ships on the dock on the ordinary Internet."
"But I did investigate the theft at the Spanish National History Museum, and it was the information about these three ships that was lost."
"Those three ships are the ones that sank in the first shipwreck, and they are the ships that sailor Pik was on." The agent said, "So it must be that the church concealed the truth about the first shipwreck, and Detective Doggett may have found information about these three ships."
"And through my contact with Doggett, I learned the forbidden information about these three ships." Batman thought for a moment and said, "So Dagon was the culprit of the first shipwreck? I was able to contact Dagon because I had access to the information on the ship?"
"It's possible." The agent said, "The culprit of the first and second shipwrecks may not be the same god, because after all, the book "Water God Ctayat" not only records Dagon's contact method, but also writes about Cthulhu Knight Otum, and Ibo Zitel who appeared later."
"For those who have read this book, it is not surprising that either of them is summoned. It is not necessarily that the sailors who caused the two shipwrecks saw the same spell. It is more likely that one saw Dagon and the other saw Ottum. Although the circumstances of the shipwrecks are similar, the gods who descended are different."
"If I knew the gods of this world were like this, I wouldn't have designed it this way." Batman sighed and shook his head, saying, "I really didn't expect that my setting would make me the target of the evil god."
"That's not an evil god, just an Old One." Brand explained, "Although most of them are ignorant fools, the game world has weakened their abilities and even given them the ability to communicate. In reality, they are not so considerate."
Batman raised an eyebrow and looked at Brand and said, "You are the most considerate one among them?"
"Yes, a liar." Bruce said.
Brand didn't argue with him. He just said, "If you accidentally came into contact with this knowledge while helping Doggett, then you will be able to contact them when you are in trouble, because knowledge itself is their form of existence. As long as you realize that this connection is inevitable and will accompany you for life."
"Thanks for reminding me not to deal with you guys," Batman said.
"Anything else?" Greedy asked, turning to look at him.
Batman looked at him and said, "I'm not greedy. I thought I only needed to get along with the main characters, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect the main character to die right at the beginning." Greedy laughed again and said, "But you heard the introduction at the beginning. He was about to die. You don't think this is the beginning of a clichéd western movie, where the hero is about to die but not yet dead, and the protagonist comes on stage to save him?"
"It should have been like that." The Transcendent looked at Greedy with resentment and said, "If you had just stood by and watched, Doggett would have lived a long time. If any of you had used a healing skill, he might not have died."
"You are so old-fashioned." Greed said mercilessly.
"I threw you in front of them so that you could save them!" The Transcendent scolded mercilessly, "You are a heartless devil! You saw the protagonists being chased, and it would have been fine if you didn't help, but you chased them more happily than the monsters!"
Greedy still laughed and said, "Is it because I asked you for too many abilities that you want to deliberately throw me in front of the protagonists so that I can use my abilities to save them and balance the strength between the players? Will I do as you wish?"
"But didn't you still use your ability?! Is there a difference between killing someone and saving someone???"
"Of course. If I hadn't killed Doggett, the plot would have been too clichéd, wouldn't it?"
Greed looked at Batman and said, "If we meet a living Docter, he will recognize you immediately, and because he is an important figure in the opening introduction, the two of you will have infinite say. Is this your purpose?"
Batman did not deny it but nodded. This was indeed what he planned at the time. By tying himself to the first important character that appeared in the plot, he could easily gain the leadership of the team.
But he didn't expect that Greed was much more ruthless than him. He would rather give up the key clues and silence them. After killing the protagonists, he used their deaths to guide everyone's thinking and interfere with the players' vision.
"This is where the plot goes haywire." The Transcendent spread his hands and said, "Dogett is very important. He should survive no matter what. At least he should live long enough to tell you important clues."
"What important clues did he have?" Bruce asked.
"The shipwreck of Jeff's family." The Transcendent replied, "He has been investigating these matters and has obtained some clues. He will guide you to find Jeff's family in the village."
"Batman has also dealt with Jeff's family, right? I mean, is this family part of your setting?"
"Yes." Batman nodded and said, "After all, I am a local. I have to have some local friends. I thought they would be my helpers."
"The lost goat and the crazy man were also your settings?"
"Yes, but it's just a misunderstanding." Batman said, "In my design, Jeff's temper is not very good. His financial situation is getting worse and worse. When the goat is lost, it is inevitable that he will become more irritable."
"The villagers are very superstitious and think that the loss of the goat is a bad sign, so they want to drive the whole family out of the village so that they can come to me and help me in the future because I have helped them before."
The agent looked at the Transcendent and said, "But you made it true. Their goats went crazy because they ate the feed placed on top of the Water God Ketayat."
"Yes, I said that originally this book was supposed to be the final boss. You must have clues before you can investigate here and get this book. I embedded these clues in the story of Jeff's family. After all, the goat going missing is indeed very strange."
The Transcendent said helplessly, "That's why I said Douget couldn't die. If he didn't die, he would tell you the clues he found about the shipwreck, and you would follow the clues to find Jeff's home in the village. But Jeff's family has already gone to the lighthouse, so you can search his house naturally."
"Jeff's cellar is not difficult to find. Once you can find it, you will find the empty boxes and the abnormality in the feed. After moving the boxes away, you will find the book of evil spirits. This book will give you clues for the next stage."
"No." Greedy said, "If that's the case, then none of us can read the book, or does this actually require the sacrifice of a teammate?"
The Transcendent was even more helpless. He said, "There is no need to sacrifice the player. Madeline was supposed to be sacrificed in this round, but you killed her."
After the Transcendent said this, everyone probably understood that this game couldn't have only a final BOSS, there should be several small BOSSes.
From Madeleine's notes and Schiller's analysis, everyone can see that Madeleine is actually a naturally cold person and is very likely a psychopath.
If she is not dead, she may follow the player's team to the village, and then turn against them when they find the "Water God Ketayat". The players need to fight her and sacrifice her life to crack the secret of the book.
"You will face a critical choice here." The Transcendent said, "If you choose not to kill Madeline, but just lock her up and wait until the incident is over before handing her over to the police, then what you will have to fight in the captain's room at the end is only the soul of the cultist attached to the book."
"What if I kill her then?"
"Attack Autumn." The Transcendent said, "Don't worry, it's not a dead end. Not to mention that it's not the real body that descended. If you choose to sacrifice Madeline, you can get more forbidden knowledge from this book. Almost everyone can get 5 Cthulhu Mythos points, plus some props looted later, you will definitely win if one or two people die. If you're lucky, you may even win without any injuries."
"Does this have any impact on the final outcome?" Batman asked sharply.
"Yes." The Transcendent nodded and said, "Madeline lured the monster into her home in order to study strange events and gain forbidden knowledge, causing the monster to influence her family to kill each other. To some extent, she was indeed an insurance fraud, not a victim whose insurance did not pay."
"If you don't kill Madeleine and hand her over to the police when they arrive, she will go crazy due to mental pollution and tell the truth directly."
Batman understood it immediately and said, "This will make the subsequent Silturk storyline more difficult, because if Madeline, the poor victim in the eyes of the public, is indeed an insurance fraud, then it will be easy for old Silturk to clear himself."
"That's right. Although not killing Madeline will make your final boss battle easier, it will make Old Siltek more difficult."
"He is also one of the BOSS?" Bruce said with some surprise.
"Doesn't he look like one?" The Transcendent said, "A typical conspirator who turned his wife into a parasite of a monster, has been planning in Faraines for a long time, and has a hand in two states. Isn't this a standard template?"
Greedy seemed to understand a little bit, he said: "In fact, we can choose which final boss to fight?"
"If you kill Madeline, you're fighting the Cthulhu Knight's clone. If you don't kill Madeline, you're fighting old Siltk?"
"exactly."
“It’s quite humane.”
"I am over-flattered."
