Chapter 110 Peeling off the cocoon
“First of all, we need to find out how the other party stole the things.” Lin Qi knocked on the box and said thoughtfully, “Just now you said that the powers of this evil god include Teleportation? "
"Yes, but I have been holding the box and never left my body. If someone uses the ability on the box, it is equivalent to using it on me. They must go through a confrontation with me first, and I can't be without it. Notice.”
"I see, but it did happen. Did you really never leave? Not even for a moment?"
"Huh? Please don't question my loyalty to the goddess?"
Rui The knight's expression became serious:
"I swear by my loyalty to the Lord, I will never lie to shirk responsibility. I followed the escort procedures throughout the entire process and did not loosen the goods."
"You misunderstood, Mr. Knight, I did not I suspect you are lying. In fact, I have only been a soul shifter for five days, and I don’t have a deep understanding of the knowledge in the mysterious world, so I can’t say anything about it. I just analyzed it based on normal logic.” The big boat next to the dock said, "My investigation method is to pick out all the unreasonable details, and then find out the reasons one by one. Finally, stringing all the reasons together is the final answer to the case. For example, I am thinking about just now "
Rick Knight frowned and looked at Lynch with questioning eyes.
"The possibility of two groups of people targeting this ship at the same time is not too high. Theoretically, the attack just now and the theft of the goods are probably the same incident, but if they plan to steal the items quietly, there is no need to make a fuss. There was such a big movement, and dozens of seabirds and three finless porpoises were dispatched. The explosives alone were not cheap. Even a crazy cultist would not be willing to do anything when faced with the real rand pound problem. So this is why. An attack should not exist unless..."
"Unless it is essential?"
Rick Knight looked at Lynch with surprised eyes, realizing what the other party said. , and straightened out my thoughts.
"Yes, this is my judgment. Then the next step is to re-organize the experience just now and see where there is a problem. But unfortunately, I don't know anything about attacks, water thefts or escorts. I'm afraid there is nothing I can do. Help you find the key to the problem, you...huh? "What did you think of?"
Lin Qi noticed that Rick's face suddenly turned pale and his breathing became rapid.
"I betrayed the goddess's trust. I did loosen the shipping box."
Rick clenched his fists and lowered his head, his voice trembling and low:
"When I hid the ship, because it was transporting sacred memories, the level of mystery was too high. If I were integrated with the sacred memories, then My ability is bound to be interfered with by the sacred memories, and it is impossible to take effect at all, so I can only let go of the box, cut off the connection with the sacred memories, and hide everything with the ship through a roundabout way. At my feet, but, but, I did let go of the goods in these few seconds."
It seems to be right, Lynch and the Archbishop looked at each other and nodded to each other.
"You should have found the answer to the first question. The other party investigated you and learned about your abilities, so they forced you to use your abilities through several fire attacks and took the opportunity to steal the goods. Then the next question is, how did the other party catch you? These few seconds of opportunity..."
"No, not a few seconds," Rick Knight said with certainty, "Once my ability takes effect, they will no longer be able to find the target, so they want to take action. Only when I put down the box and the ability takes effect."
"How long will it take?"
Knight Rick thought for a moment, then suddenly picked up the empty box, knelt down on one knee, put the box down, and then slapped his palms on the ground.
"That's it, less than a second." "You just said that if the other party teleports you while you are controlling the goods, you will definitely have a reaction, so the other party's time must be very accurate. It is impossible. Make a move in advance, otherwise you will be discovered, right?" Seeing Rick Knight's confirmation, Lynch pursed his lips and recalled the knowledge he learned when taking the first subject in his hometown, "The human vision reflects the consciousness. There is a limit to the reaction. If it takes less than one second, it has exceeded the reaction limit. Even if you watch closely, it is impossible to react. I don't understand how this kind of accuracy can be used in prediction. Can you do it? ”
"Impossible. Maybe someone can increase the accuracy of prediction to 100%, but it is impossible to be accurate to the second, because there are too many interfering factors involved in the specific time, and it is impossible to have accurate results. Even the oracle cannot It can only be specific to the hour."
Lin Qi frowned, holding his chin and thinking: "If prediction is impossible, is there any other way to measure the time so accurately to the second... "
"No, there is another way." Rick suddenly widened his eyes and almost shouted, "After the ability takes effect, the target does not exist from the outside, but for the people on the ship, it is an exception. Said, everything is normal except that the surroundings become a little unreal, and the target is always there.”
"I see. Although a few seconds is still very short, it is much longer than less than one second. And the other party knows exactly when it starts and when it ends, so you don't have to worry about being discovered by you in advance." Lynch pointed He tapped his palms and squinted his eyes, "So when the incident happened, at least one person on the ship was a mole, but it is also possible that he was temporarily teleported up."
Rick hesitated for a moment with a sullen face and shook his head. Said: "I would rather believe that someone sent it here."
"Huh?"
"The escorts are all senior priests, and the sailors involved in the transport are also devout believers. Their beliefs have been tested and cannot be faked." Rick explained, "What's more, the sailors were all on the deck during the time of the accident. Get ready to dock, you should have seen it, they can't have time to do anything else, I'm... wrong."
As if he remembered something, his expression suddenly changed and he called to dock. The officer who gave the order asked a few questions in a low voice. The officer's expression also became tense, and he immediately ordered a few sailors, and a group of people ran towards the long bridge.
Lynch knew something was wrong, and when Archbishop Trinleth signaled him to lead people to guard the goods here, he followed him with confidence.
"Have you discovered anything? Sir Knight." Lynch ran all the way, barely keeping up with the sailors and Rick.
“Not everyone is on the deck.” Rick ran back to the deck along the gangplank and said without looking back, “Two people are still in the infirmary.”
“Yes. ?”
"Two sailors had unexplained diarrhea last night and fell into coma in the end. The captain placed them in the medical cabin to rest. They were going to ask the priests from the Hall of Misery to help diagnose them later, so they were not involved in the battle just now. . If there was someone on the ship who was secretly sabotaging it, it could only be the two of them. Especially during the battle just now, no one had time to pay attention to their behavior. "
The group of people got in quickly. Stairs below deck, the door to the infirmary is at the top of the stairs. The officer kicked open the hatch, and then several people breathed a sigh of relief.
The two patients had already sat up and were looking at the intruders in surprise.
"You two..."
Just as the officer was about to walk over, his arms were pulled by Lynch and Rick at the same time. The next moment, the heads of the two sailors suddenly exploded like water melons, and blood was like A fountain gushes wildly in the infirmary.
