890: "Strange Talk Rules. Town" Completed
"You!" Feeling the blood constantly flowing from his body, the shot Corey coughed twice with a flushed face: "Captain, what nonsense are you saying? I'm not the murderer!"
Seeing Corey shouting with a ferocious expression, Mo De slowly took out a badge from his hand.
"When I asked you to go to the Meatpacking Plant before, I gave you a badge, and you came out safe and sound."
"Is there any problem with this?" Corey couldn't understand, couldn't accept, he felt like an idiot who guessed the right answer.
"Didn't you ever think this badge was fake?"
While sneering, Mo De casually threw the badge on the ground and added: "This morning I went to Old Tang Na's place, and under the pretext of visiting, asked him to help me make this thing."
"ordinary people wearing a real badge can indeed enter and exit the Meatpacking Plant, but someone wearing a fake badge who can still enter and exit the Meatpacking Plant can only be the Town's real meat supplier!"
"That bone cleaver used for killing and dismembering people, you actually put it in the vegetable market, right?"
After these words came out, Corey finally fell silent.
After a long time, he spoke unwillingly: "When did you start suspecting me?"
"Your marksmanship is very accurate." Mo De said, walking to the immobile Corey's side and taking off the Police gun from his waist: "When we were arresting Old Tang Na, I told you to shoot his leg, and you hit it with one shot, not missing by an inch!"
"If I remember correctly, in Corey's employment report, his personal abilities were all very mediocre, which naturally included the use of firearms. The real Corey couldn't possibly have that kind of marksmanship, but you... performed too well."
Of course, one experience doesn't prove anything.
"I searched your workstation and found that although Corey's ability was poor, he was very serious about cases, and collected a lot of information and materials for all cases,"
"The work of organizing and collecting materials takes a lot of time. I believe it's normal to be busy for nearly twenty hours a day, but you... wake up at eight or nine every day. Your laziness doesn't match the amount of materials at your workstation."
"You didn't play Corey's role well."
As Mo De said this, 'Corey', who was lying back against the Police car, also flushed, and a distortion different from his usual expression finally appeared!
"At first, I didn't understand why I would wake up so early to go to the Police station. Later, combining the dismemberment case materials I organized, I realized that I myself was the Police officer Corey who was worked like a dog by the Sheriff!"
"As a Police officer, I woke up early because I was afraid of being late."
"That large amount of case materials not only exposed your identity but also revealed the Sheriff's exploitation of Corey."
"Bringing you breakfast wasn't because we had a good relationship, but because I was originally your subordinate!"
"Those letters with slanted handwriting, like they were written by a drunk person, were also written by you!" Mo De broke the words he had said to the Second Personality in the mirror before.
"After drinking, the Second Personality actually couldn't wake up, because after waking up, just one room couldn't possibly trap me."
"The only purpose of staying in the room was to prevent being seen by others, by you!"
"You found me drunk at the Police station, so you used my method to forge those letters."
"This isn't over yet."
"After that day, when I arrested you on the charge of rape and asked you who else knew you were in a relationship with Bertha, you said only me!"
"Only I knew!"
"Those words were truly absolute."
"Even if I were careless, I would associate the suspect with myself."
"However, you forgot that such absolute words could come from a liar's mouth, but would absolutely not come from the mouth of the submissive Corey who was willing to be exploited at work!"
"It was also from that time, from when you handed over the letters from the so-called mysterious person, that you were setting up this situation for me, creating all of this, and guiding me down the path you desired."
"The night I locked you up at the Police station, the night it rained heavily, you still came out." Mo De rummaged in the car for a bit, then threw out a pheasant that had already started to smell.
"This is the pheasant I shot in the Redwood Forest at that time."
"No, I should say it was you who shot it."
"Pheasants' sleeping habits at night are mostly in trees, and even more so on rainy days."
"On that kind of rainy day, if I just randomly fired a shot overhead, the chance of hitting a pheasant would be higher than the chance of hitting one by shooting between the trees."
"But it just so happened that I hit a pheasant when I fired forward."
"The argument of extremely low probability doesn't hold water in a place like this."
"So this pheasant wasn't something I hunted at all, you hunted it early and put it there!"
"The purpose was to guide me to discover the cabin in the Redwood Forest, and in the cabin, there was a large amount of information pointing to myself as the murderer!"
"The next day I brought you hot dogs for breakfast."
"But you still had leftovers, you weren't hungry at all! This also shows that you came out and ate something the night of the heavy rain."
"Then what about your Second Personality? He was clearly the murderer, and he admitted it!" Corey stopped explaining his previous self and instead brought up the Second Personality, who should have been the murderer.
"The murderer was indeed the Second Personality, but this Second Personality, he's not mine." Mo De finished speaking, took out a document from the car, and threw it in front of Corey: "This is a document from Leon Mental Hospital, a psychiatric patient certificate."
"Guess who the patient shown on it is?"
Cold wind swept through.
The document was opened.
Patient: Bo Lin
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Occupation: Police Officer
Condition Description: Schizophrenia, with the presence of a Second Personality...
Other Symptoms: Moderate burns...
"Do you still need to hide? Sheriff, Bo Lin?" Mo De looked back at the A Man in front of him.
"All along, it was you who was burned!"
"And it was the twisted psychology brought about by the burns that gave rise to your Second Personality."
"The person who won the lottery wasn't Bosen, it was you! The process of the Second Personality's crime that I described earlier can be completely applied to you."
"As for why the upper body of the corpse disappeared, it was to mislead people."
"People generally believe that if there's no problem, there's no need to hide. You certainly remembered this incorrect way of thinking."
"You're talking nonsense!" Bo Lin roared suppressively.
In his final moments as his life force drained away, he still held extreme unwillingness.
"How could my Second Personality appear on you? How should this be explained?"
"If everything could be explained by logic, I think no one would have been able to pass this Town instance until now!" Mo De smiled.
This point indeed cannot be explained, but it doesn't need to be explained.
In the Tales of the Weird world.
You can't look at everything with logic.
So many people failed to clear it before, can you say they had poor minds?
Why didn't they pass?
It was nothing more than wanting to explain everything clearly, articulate it, and understand it.
Yet few people realized that in this World, the logic from the original World couldn't be applied.
In essence, the System had already told Mo De the correct answer.
Excluding himself and Old Tang Na, wasn't the remaining one Corey?
In the Hospital, Mo De also tried to commit suicide, and the final result was naturally failing to pass.
After trying everything once, relying on the System to eliminate all the wrong answers, the final one was naturally the correct one.
As for the Second Personality he had just seen, it could be regarded as a hypnotic method Bo Lin used on him.
The fact that so many people couldn't pass this stage was greatly related to the Second Personality, who was completely controlled by Bo Lin and lodged in the chosen person, capable of knowing all their actions!
When the Second Personality said: "Amazing, you really pay attention to details, there are few people as smart as you in the World. Kill me, you should be the first person to find me, this murderer, and kill me, solving this case!"
At the time of these words.
Mo De could imagine.
Most of those people must have had the smiling face of a Dragon King who had everything under control.
And then they would point the gun at their own temple without hesitation and pull the trigger!
They truly ended everything themselves.
Indeed, this stage should be seen as a 1+1=2 problem.
The moment he started suspecting Corey on the first day, he would have cleared the stage by shooting him.
To be able to take such a detour and return to the original point, he could only say he was lucky.
Lucky to have the System as a fallback.
"Ho ho ho..." After struggling hard on the ground for a while, Bo Lin, the twin brother who had been playing Corey for so many days, finally fell to the ground, lifeless.
[Congratulations, you have successfully cleared the stage, Weird Tales Rules. Town.]
In front of Mo De, the black text turned mottled blood red.
These words, like a badge, expressed his victory!
[You have gained one month of rest time, looking forward to your performance in the next Tales of the Weird world.]
[Friendly reminder, in the next Tales of the Weird world, you will enter together with another player who cleared the Weird Tales Rules. Town one minute later than you.]
The moment the scarlet subtitles appeared, Mo De's breathing became slightly solemn.
As expected, this wasn't the end yet.
Perhaps, it could only be said that it was just the beginning!
What he didn't expect was that someone could still clear the stage with so many traps in Weird Tales Rules. Town!
Looking up at the only System he could rely on, it was still in the process of updating.
