Chapter 3248: Whose Fault Is It (Part )
Everyone present was smart, and they thought of it as soon as Bruce said it.
Originally, the protagonists were supposed to be on the run, and then they were met and rescued by Greed, but Greed did not save them at all, and even joined the pursuit army.
They were supposed to run in the village, but because Bruce set up an underground cave, they somehow ran into the cave, and there was a river in the cave, which gave the Wanderers the opportunity to come into contact with water.
In the setting of Cthulhu Mythos, if people want to avoid being killed by Ibo's blood clone, they have to hide in the water, so the Wanderer is also afraid of water. Greed takes advantage of this and traps the Wanderer.
"I think whether the detective is dead or alive has no impact on the main plot." Greedy said, "Didn't we roughly piece together the main background story in the end? This proves that it doesn't matter whether there are clues from his mouth or not."
"That's your lucky accord..."
"Then we have hit too many targets by accident." Greedy argued, "We didn't just figure out one line, we figured out almost all the lines we set."
"That, that..."
The Transcendent thought about it carefully and found that he really couldn't refute it.
The Book of Evil God and Ghost Ship lines designed by the Transcendent, the Sirtek and Hotel lines designed by Greed, and the Deep Diver line designed by the Joker were basically figured out by the end.
There are two kinds of puzzle players in this world. One is the one who looks for clues 12345 step by step and finally draws a conclusion. The other is the one who finds clue 1, then makes a hole in the ground, finds clue 5, and then encounters 2, 3, and 4 while wandering around.
This game is like they didn't even find clue 1, but they dug a hole leading to the other side of the earth, and then found clues 80 while traveling around the world in 12345 days, discovering new continents, and proving that the earth is round.
"Don't worry about how you found it. Just tell me whether you found it or not."
The Transcendent reviewed the entire game and said, "None of your clues were discovered in the normal way."
"Impossible." The agent denied it first. He said, "We first found the cabin owner's diary in the drawer. Isn't that normal enough?"
"Ah, wait a minute." He suddenly realized, "The cabin itself is not normal, right? Then Madeleine's diary is also... Madeleine is not normal either... The hotel, I read about the hotel tragedy in an encyclopedia, this is definitely normal."
"Where did you find the encyclopedia?"
"In old Siltek's house. Although this is not the background story you set, it is at least in the village. Is this the correct scope of the clue?"
"Right? Totally wrong!" The Transcendent said unhappily, "The book was put there out of greed!"
Everyone looked at Greed.
"You can't blame me for that." Greedy said immediately, "I asked him if he could tell me about the setting of the game world, and he said no. I said okay, my father is an encyclopedia lover, and his study is filled with all kinds of encyclopedias on astronomy, geography, society, and history."
The others remained silent.
The agent thought hard, trying to find a clue that should be in its original location. After thinking for a while, he said, "The clues in the lighthouse should all be correct, right?"
"Yes." The Transcendent said coldly, "You were right to shoot those hounds."
"Other than that?"
"No more." said the Transcendent.
"But the dog didn't give any clues." The agent rubbed his temple and said, "The Pope! The Pope should appear on the top of the lighthouse, right?"
The Transcendent looked at Brand.
"I only joined the game in the second half." Brand waved his hand and said, "I didn't do anything before you asked me to take over the game. Don't blame me for everything."
"So it's still a matter of greed." Bruce said, "Naya was not involved in the first half of the game, but it had already deviated from the main storyline. It was because of greed that the protagonists were killed."
"No!" Greedy looked at the agent and said, "If he hadn't burned the house and prevented us from going to the village, we might still be able to get to the main line!"
The others went to see the agent again, and Greed continued, "Although the protagonists are dead, if we explore the village according to the normal process, we can also directly find the book, and then we can look for clues under the guidance of the book and finally board the ghost ship."
"Why didn't you go to the village at that time?" Bruce also asked.
"Because of greed, we were distracted." The agent immediately passed the blame and said, "He led us to focus on the monster. I thought that if we just went to the village, we might be attacked by the monster on the way."
"Then you don't have to burn the house down," Bruce pointed out.
"Because I guess there is a cellar under this house." The agent looked at Bruce again and said, "If you hadn't set up the underground cave and the cabin, we would have been born in the village. How dare you say that to me?"
The others looked at Bruce again.
"But if we were born directly in the village, wouldn't the game process be too short?" Bruce raised his question.
"If that were the case, we wouldn't have gotten the cabin owner's diary, and we wouldn't know the story of Jeff's family. It would probably take a long time to investigate their family." Batman said, "It's the same thing, actually."
It's become a vicious circle, but everyone agrees that the reason the story deviates so much from the main plot is that greed and Bruce are the main culprits.
The two of them cried out that they were wronged. Greedily slammed the table and said, "It's all the fault of the agent who killed me halfway. If I were still alive..."
"If you were still alive, you would have started World War III." The agent bluntly exposed him and said, "You have money, monsters, and a family background. I wouldn't be surprised if you directly summoned an alien spaceship to start a space war!"
Greed slowly looked away.
The agent frowned and said, "You don't really want to fight a space war, do you?"
The Transcendent snorted coldly and said, "Guess what's going on with that bottle of golden honey wine in the captain's room?"
The agent suddenly remembered that in the Cthulhu mythology setting, the main function of golden mead is actually to enable people to live in a vacuum environment, and it is mainly used to allow humans to ride in spaceships.
He turned his head and stared at Greed.
"Why are you looking at me?" Greedy rolled his eyes and said, "Is it strange that my cultist ancestor was captured by aliens after studying cults?"
The detective covered his forehead and said, "It's a good thing you died early."
"But that's okay." Greedy said, "In the end, the Joker and Batman still fought on the back of the moon. I can find an alien to help them break up the fight."
"Then why did they fight on the back of the moon?"
"Because of Naya." Greed pointed to the side and said, "If he hadn't dug the hole, I wouldn't have to find a ghostwriter."
"Because of Bruce." Brand also pointed to the side and said, "If he doesn't pay, I won't print it."
"Because of the agent." Bruce pointed to the side and said, "If he hadn't killed Night Owl, I wouldn't have to resort to this desperate measure."
"Because of arrogance." The detective also pointed to the side and said, "If he hadn't asked me to take over, I wouldn't have killed anyone."
"Because of greed." Pride said coldly: "If he hadn't deleted the memory bank, I wouldn't have looked for an agent."
Everyone looked towards Greed.
"Is this your purpose?!" Greed raised his voice and said, "Put the blame on me so that I can tell the truth at that time for the sake of defense, but I told you, I don't remember it!"
"Someone must remember," said Pride.
Greed is silent.
"What's going on?" Bruce looked at Greedy with some curiosity. Greedy said angrily, "I said I don't know!... Forget it, if you want to know, go find Anatoly. He is the only one who knows everything."
Batman silently memorized the name. He knew that Schiller had a doctor who had a profound influence on him, but he didn't know who this person was and how profound the influence was.
But it doesn't matter, he can look it up. Although there is only one name, everything related to Schiller in the world seems very unique, so it shouldn't be difficult to look it up.
"What kind of ending did we achieve? Is it a good ending?" Greedy looked at the Transcendent and asked.
"Hmm..." The Transcendent said hesitantly, "If you think it's a good ending, then it can be. After all, one is another you, and the other is another your student. The two of them went to Miskatonic University together, which can be considered a good ending."
"Not really?" the agent demanded. After all, he was the one who finished most of the game, and he was also concerned about the ending.
"In the character setting that Matthew changed, Matthew was a cultist, and he survived. Do you think it's a good ending?"
"That's the bad ending?"
"But Rodolphus survived, too, and appears to be sane."
"Is that a happy ending?"
"But Matthew is alive too... I also want to know how they reconciled."
Everyone looked at Pride and Bruce.
"Didn't you guys watch the ending animation?"
"You did see it, but then the scene changed and you two reconciled. Was there anything that was edited out?" the agent asked.
At this moment, Greed seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the agent and said, "I advise you not to ask. Why make yourself uncomfortable?"
Batman also stood up and said, "Although the process was chaotic, it was a pleasure playing games with you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Bruce also turned and left, and the Pale Knight followed him and said, "Would you like to go to my place first, or should I go to yours first?"
"Let me go to your place. Do you have a Batman who doesn't know how to adapt? Maybe I can help you convince him. I also want to try your medicine..."
The others left the table, leaving the agent standing there in confusion.
The Beyonder was the last to leave, and seeing the agent still standing there, he threw something at the agent.
There was a flash of silver light in the air, and the agent instinctively reached out to catch it. He saw that it was a cross necklace, but there was no Jesus on the cross. Instead, there were several tentacles. Wasn't this the necklace he found in old Sirtek's safe?
Wait, in the ending animation, this necklace appeared on Rodolph’s neck?
Didn't I give this thing to Batman?
The agent suddenly came to his senses, stopped Batman who had already walked to the portal and asked, "How did you die in the end?"
"The clone of Ibo Zitel has arrived."
“It fell upon Gad?”
Batman shook his head, said nothing, turned and walked into the portal.
The agent looked down at the necklace and found that the blue gem in the center of the cross had turned blood red.
The background setting of Greed is revealed - Old Sirtek is the descendant of the cultists.
This means that the necklace in his hand is not a protective item at all, but a forbidden item for summoning evil gods. Ibo Ztel, who killed Batman, came through this necklace.
And finally, Rodolphus put on the necklace.
The agent sighed. He shouldn't have let Pride come back. Pride would always do whatever it takes to get his poor student back.
I'm wondering whether I should continue with my daily routine or push the main storyline...
