Chapter 1623: Brothel Woman Murder Case
Bad news, Mo Tan died just like that.
The good news is that Mo Tan’s death was incomplete.
In short, five seconds after he was stabbed across the body with a knife, he regained consciousness on the square stone platform, surrounded by the bright stars and the small forge in front of him. , [Ruthless Sword] is floating there quietly, looking nothing strange.
But this is just a look. Mo Tan can swear that the reason why he just appeared in a strange 'illusion' that probably does not belong to the realm of innocence is 100%. Because of touching the sword in front of me.
Although the numb feeling in his scalp when he was penetrated by a long knife did not dissipate, given that Mo Tan's willpower under his current personality was different from ordinary people, he did not immerse himself in the aftertaste of being 'killed', but immediately started Started thinking.
As we all know, in many works, for the needs of the plot, many characters who originally had online intelligence will suddenly become stupid, and some people who are obviously not very bright may be responsible for the "flash of the soul" It's not an undisputed shortcoming that he doesn't perform all the tasks and just cheats, but to a certain extent it does seem a little unreliable, and it feels like he's treating people like monkeys.
However, monkeys can also be divided into three, six or nine levels. If the creator's imagination is big enough and the writing power is strong enough, then even if the writing is a little nonsensical, some characters will be treated like monkeys or some readers/audiences will be treated like monkeys. Monkey play is acceptable. After all, aside from other things, at least there is high-quality content to enjoy.
But there is another situation, that is, given that the creator’s ability is limited and even far below the level of compulsory education, it is easy for everyone to feel that they have been insulted by their IQ and think that he is the monkey, for example, in movies and TV shows In a play or written work, the protagonist creates some problems that even a monkey can solve, not to mention the readers and viewers, and makes everyone worry like headless chickens. This is a situation that requires apology. .
Sadly, if we look at some "idol" and relatively professional films, such as business war films, we will find that there is not much of this kind of dross.
Of course, the above criticisms are not intended to prove how excellent this book is, but just to let everyone know that if conditions permit, I try not to be a monkey, and I don’t let everyone be a monkey.
To sum up, Mo Tan did not look blank with questions, but after pondering for a moment, he came up with a relatively reliable guess, which was the illusion he had just experienced. Nine times out of ten it has something to do with Jian Po, and it may even be Jian Po's own experience.
The logical relationship here is very clear. [The Ruthless Sword] is related to the sword soul. Mo Tan was able to enter that illusion through the Ruthless Sword on the small forge in front of him, and he was in that illusion. The character he plays is a girl with a sword in her hand, because people say that someone wants to adopt him as his adopted daughter.
Finally... the man who wanted to adopt the girl was named Huangfu.
To be honest, with so many clues in hand, unless Mo Tan's brain suddenly shrank to the size of a walnut due to a serious illness, it would be impossible for him to show a state of 'confusion'. .
"Well, this should be the memory of Jian Po in another world view."
Mo Tan murmured, and then left the small forging furnace in front of him after a brief pause. He took the [Ruthless Sword] in front of him and walked to the [Snow Gun] next to him. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to hold the handle of the gun.
Then what was expected -
Buzz! !
When Mo Tan came back to his senses, he found that he was in a restaurant that looked very much like a restaurant, but not like the one in the Gun Soul Realm. In fact, judging from the surrounding environment, this place seemed to be more Like——
"Uncle, what's wrong with you today? Why are your hands so honest?"
Looking down at the smiling, pretty, charming, ragged girl in his arms, Mo Tan felt helpless. The ground sighed inwardly.
【It is indeed a brothel. 】
He smiled bitterly, not at all tempted by this situation that would make most people think that he was making a lot of money. He just sat on the chair with a calm face and did not push away the person in his arms. , and did not give any response, just watching the development of the situation with a calm expression.
Then...
And he died.
To put it more precisely, I was stabbed by the warm and fragrant nephrite in my arms.
To put it more clearly, the girl put her arms around Mo Tan's neck, exhaled softly and whispered something into his ear, and at the same time used her other hand to take out a diamond from the lapel of the infinite spring. The hairpin came out and pierced Mo Tan's heart.
And the hairpin was probably smeared with poison, so Mo Tan didn't even have room to struggle after being stabbed, and died in less than three seconds.
Of course, when he died in that illusion...or 'memory', he just left there and returned to the [Snow Gun] on the platform.
"Last time it was an encirclement and suppression, this time is an assassination..."
Mo Tan pinched the scales between his eyebrows with a bitter smile, then remained silent for a long while, but did not leave from the [Snow Gun], but He reached out and held it again.
As expected, after a buzzing sound, his consciousness left the platform at his feet again and returned to the brothel.
It must be explained here that Mo Tan did not come back with the mentality of "holding the little girl for a while longer", even though he had to change to "Tan Mo" in the world of innocence, now He may have tried to feel good before he died, but at least under his current personality, he would not do such a 'boring' thing.
There is only one reason for coming back, and that is that Mo Tan feels that he can still struggle a little longer.
Different from the place he entered through the [Ruthless Sword] before, Mo Tan didn't feel that the girl he was holding in the brothel was very strong. Even if she was also a practitioner, there was absolutely no way she could compete with that girl in the snow. He was comparable to all the swordsmen in the world, so he wanted to try to see how things would develop if he could block the opponent's unexpected hairpin.
So Mo Tan returned here again through the [Plain Snow Gun]. Different from the last time, this time he came back and was always carefully observing and sensing every move of the woman in his arms, and successfully controlled the woman in his arms. His hand reached into the collar, and when he took out the poisonous hairpin, he gently pulled it, and perfectly subdued the young lady with a simple joint technique.
At the same time, Mo Tan, who was highly focused and always observing the movements around him, took off the long gun from behind with his backhand and swung it directly to the other side. It seemed that he was pouring wine for himself, but in fact he was sneaking around. Two bluestones that were sharp at the top and plump at the bottom, shaped like locusts, were released. The girl who was about to throw a dart at her BIU put them down to the ground as gently as possible.
Obviously, these two young ladies want to kill themselves. In addition to the poisonous hairpin and locust stone, there may be something wrong with the glass of wine on the table. After taking precautions, Mo Tan easily subdued the two of them and breathed a sigh of relief. He then maintained the posture of controlling the poisonous hairpin girl with his joint technique with his left hand and suppressing the hidden weapon girl with a spear in his right hand, quietly waiting for the follow-up.
He didn't wait too long. Soon, a slender figure walked slowly from outside. Mo Tan took a closer look and found that although he was a little older, he was still quite handsome, both in terms of temperament and temperament. , a middle-aged woman with a good figure. Judging from her dress, Mo Tan felt that this lady was not responsible for entertaining guests, but most likely a 'bustard'.
"Alas..."
The middle-aged woman sighed lightly, glanced at the two people restrained by Mo Tan, and said softly: "Two Damn frizzy girl, how can this young master’s business be handled by you two? It’s really... Oh, that’s it, young master, let’s do it. The girls here are all pitiful people. You send them two to go there early. Reincarnation can be regarded as doing good deeds."
"..."
Mo Tan did not answer immediately, but shook his head after a brief silence, released his left hand, and raised it. He picked up the spear and actually let go of the two girls who had closed their eyes and were preparing to die.
He is like this, even if he knows very well that this is not reality, he is not willing to take other people's lives easily if he can. What's more, didn't the eldest sister who is probably a bustard also said that the girls here are all pitiful people, and for Poor guy, Mo Tan will naturally do whatever he can when conditions permit.
Of course, this does not mean that he is a pedantic, stupid and good person. After all, this is the [Innocent Realm], and it is also in the [Conscious Space] of [Akatsuki] in the [Innocent Realm]. A certain memory], this special meow's BUFF stack is almost full, it's really nothing to take a little risk to do good things.
If it were the [Innocent Realm] where you have to start over again if you die, or the [Real Time] where everything stops immediately after you die, Mo Tan will naturally not let him go as easily as he does now. , even if he doesn't kill him directly, he still has to take some extra precautions. After all, although he is very tolerant to others, he is not the kind of person who is cruel to himself.
But in this environment where there are no side effects other than the pain and having to do it all over again, it doesn’t really matter, the worst is to start all over again.
In addition, there is another thing that he cares about...
"What are you?"
Sure enough, just as Mo Tan expected, the madam did not turn a blind eye to her act of letting people go, but immediately gave feedback, widened her eyes and whispered: "What to do?"
Not only her, but also the two young ladies who were let off by Mo Tan were stunned and stared blankly at the 'uncle' sitting on the chair. It took a while before he stood up, and then withdrew with complicated expressions.
Then the question is, what is the other thing that Mo Tan cares about?
The answer is the reaction of these three people.
He still remembered the memory after holding the [Ruthless Sword]. After his arm was numbed by a knife, the man who was originally full of expressions and full of emotions immediately turned into a particularly standard poker face, very It was very abnormal, especially in the eyes of Mo Tan, who had been paying close attention to observing the surrounding situation. The sense of violation was serious.
How can I put it, it’s like the first batch of NPCs in the spiritual virtual world more than ten years ago, who just said a line with great emotion, such as ‘Warrior! The village in front has been invaded by vicious bandits. Please hurry up and save the fight. My beloved Fran~~~Da is still inside! ', and as a result, when you choose to cancel the conversation or start to think about how to get the best value for money after watching it, it suddenly turns into a 'smile template'. When you talk again, he opens his mouth and says 'Hello, traveler', just like his beloved Fran~~~ It doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive. In short, it feels very inconsistent.
But now, even if we don’t mention [Innocent Bound], which has almost become an industry benchmark as soon as it comes out, it is not so inconsistent even in other relatively high-cost spiritual virtual games.
Then the question arises. Since this situation cannot happen in the realm of innocence, what did Mo Tan see just now?
The answer is actually not difficult to guess at all. At least in Mo Tan's view, it was probably a form of 'acting'.
The 'act' here does not refer to the knife-wielding man who suddenly turned into a poker face, but to Mo Tan himself.
Because he knew very well that the person he played on the previous occasion was not 'himself', but someone else in a certain memory.
And that 'other person' is very likely to be the 'Jian Po', 'Gun Po' and others from who knows how long ago.
If you think about it from this perspective, the breakthrough begins to become obvious.
First of all, although Mo Tan didn’t know what the specific strength of Jian Po was in that memory, he would never be knocked out of position by someone’s sword at the very beginning like him. In other words, Even in his real memories, that man had never experienced a situation where his opponent was so vulnerable, and the [Ruthless Sword] floating on the forge was not [The Realm of Innocence], so even if he could create a lifelike one, The illusion can't be beautifully rounded off the hard-core problems that arise due to Mo Tan's failure to live up to expectations, which is why bugs such as 'emotional incoherence' will appear.
If you look at it from another angle, it is just an "emotional incoherence" bug when the cards are not played according to the script, and it does not delay the NPC from hacking Mo Tan to death. This space is actually very powerful. .
In short, Mo Tan, who had been concerned about this aspect before, confirmed it a little bit. The specific manifestation was that after the bustard mother finished speaking, she directly let go of the two young people who wanted to kill 'her' life. Sister, because in his opinion, if it were the gun soul who had just dealt with him not long ago, he would have made the same choice.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case, because the plot has not gotten out of control, but continues to go down.
"Okay, for the sake of letting those two little girls go, let's take a step back."
Although I didn't get an answer from Mo Tan, that However, the old bustard still walked slowly as he spoke, with a tempting curve on his lips: "Fifty moves, if you can withstand fifty moves in the hands of the servant, the slave will find an excuse to reject the master's commission. , let you go.”
Mo Tan nodded and stood up slowly: "What if I can't hold on?"
The other party immediately smiled sweetly: "Then I can only die here."
...
A moment later
Mo Tan died here.
