Chapter 116
Shimeng, who was busy with work, didn't pay attention to the remarks in the "Yokohama News" this morning, but this article from an old-timer in the literary world was ground-breaking. Not only many of his book fans were blown up, but many people who knew him were also surprised .
And even more people who read this article fell silent...
On the day when it was just published, Shi Meng heard a light knock on the door in the office, and after answering, he found that it was Qiu Yuanyang who pushed the door and came in.
"Boss." He bowed slightly, then put the newspaper on the table, "Have you read this article?"
Shi Meng shook her head suspiciously, picked up the newspaper, and quickly finished reading the short article. The moment she finished reading, she exhaled deeply, with an indescribable feeling.
And when she finally recovered from her thoughts, she realized that Qiu Yuan was still in the office, very quiet... So he wanted to ask her for something?
"what happened?"
"Boss..." Qiu Yuan was unhealthily thin, but his eyes were clear, "Can you please come to my dreamland as a guest at night?"
Ok?
Hearing his words, Shi Meng's heart was filled with shame and some doubts, the shame was related to the dream witch, she hardly went out to be a dream witch now;
What is puzzling is that Qiuyuan no longer needs to play "psychoanalysis" to help him fall asleep. In addition to his mental improvement, another main reason is that employees spend almost all their evening time in {spiritual space}-adding bricks and tiles to virtual games , Qiu Yuan, as the person in charge of the music group, is naturally one of the main builders.
But she still nodded in agreement: "Cough, of course."
Qiu Yuan showed a quiet smile. Afraid of embarrassing her, he didn't stay in the office any longer, and gently took her out the door.
When Shi Meng waited for him to walk out the door, he flipped through the article written by Mr. Fangye again. His gaze stayed on that sentence for a long time—"No one can speak." He silently turned on his phone and glanced at the screen saver. Several people on it All smiling... After all, she didn't say anything or do anything, and turned her attention back to her work.
……
And at this time today, it has been more than a week since the launch of "Sunflower Apartment". At present, the game is only available in Japanese, and the translated version will be launched soon.
With the previous same type of reasoning game "Iris Academy", many people are very accustomed to the four difficulties of the deep space game "rookie-simple-difficult-nightmare".
Players who just want to watch the plot and salty fish choose the speedrunning rookie mode. Normal players will basically not die to challenge the nightmare difficulty. They have already deeply understood that this difficulty is not made for them to play, and they will never take it for themselves its shame.
Therefore, the nightmare list still belongs to the road of enlightenment of the gods. This time, as expected, No.1 on the nightmare list is still {No.1 detective in the world}, but No.2 is a foreigner who has never appeared before. Name - {Ellen Poe}.
{World No.1 Detective} has a large number of fans on the reasoning forum, and reasoning players with high IQ basically have judgment, and they can better understand the gold content of this No.1, and the "famous detective" will occasionally publish some brief explanations Ordinary players see it in a cloud, but high-level players understand it instantly, and solve the problem that has plagued them for a long time like they have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du.
Therefore, in the reasoning forum, there are often people @世界No.1评论, seeking his help.
But obviously, he usually doesn't answer questions that are too simple, and he will be blocked one-way; simple questions either don't answer or give an answer directly, depending on his mood, there is never a process; The sentence "This is too simple" is similar; the difficult ones are the answers with analysis. Although there are only one or two sentences, they are all key problem-solving steps.
According to statistics, each of his replies on {Reasoning Forum} basically does not exceed 50 characters, but according to the arrangement of fans of {World No.1 Detective}, he has posted a thousand-character post——
It was a quarrel with a well-known black fan of Mr. April. During the process, he deduced the other party's gender, age, marriage status, family address, and black history, etc., until the other party became angry from embarrassment, full of swear words, full of swear words, incompetent and furious , delete the account to beg for mercy...
Since then, the forum has become a god and became famous in one battle!
However, {World No.1 Detective} appears very rarely on the forum, only last week, I don’t know what happened, suddenly appeared, and caught a black fan of Mr. April on the forum, and continued to reason about the other party’s net worth situation, push it again until the other party deletes the number.
His fans closely followed the live broadcast and watched with gusto.
From several performances, {World No.1 Detective} is deduced to be an evil, charming, mad and domineering reasoning master—referring to guarding Teacher April—there are many rumors in reasoning forums. The one that brought the storm—the first in the high cold list.
However, he is highly sought after by high-level players and admired by ordinary players. The shoe cultists in Lily City even elected "Famous Detective" as the elder of Lily Cult.
Of course, Lily Sect is a very realistic sect. It can be seen by referring to their removal of Teacher April from the position of leader. Many believers said that the number of elders is based on the ranking of the "Nightmare List".
Whoever comes first is the Great Elder.
……
On the other side, Ranpo Edogawa didn't open the list after confirming that he was No.1. He sat on his seat in the Armed Detective Agency, swaying around in his chair with a contented expression.
He originally planned to go to deep space to find her, hmph, to find a flower bag to play with, but he didn't expect that "Sunflower Apartment" would be completed ahead of schedule, so he had to spend energy to clear the game first.
But he didn't expect "Sunflower" this time to have such a pattern and plot, the level of murder detective can only be said to be as usual, and that nasty guy!
Edogawa Ranpo stopped turning the chair, reluctantly admitting that she wrote the plot very well this time.
He opened the forum, and sure enough, there were already many idiot players in it who were amazed that the detective had cleared the game so quickly. He looked a little smug, and seeing their strange speculations about Lord Ranpo, he became unhappy .
Especially the idiot disciples taught by Lily, they are really as stupid as her!In terms of badness, it's the same as that guy... same as that annoying reasoning plan!
He is worse than them!Lord Ranpo hates him!
Hmph, anyway, a famous detective will always be the Great Elder, Edogawa Ranpo was very convinced of this, and then began to look for posts related to the plot.
【"Have you guys watched the plot of "Sunflower Apartment"? Oh my god, it's absolutely wonderful. Teacher April is really a genius in the world of mystery novels! How did he come up with the setting of exchanging murders?"
"Being a serial killer, but also erasing the motive of killing, creating a genre again!"
"It's really the leader of the reasoning world. I didn't expect to have such a setting after working hard. If you want to deduce the murderer, you need to guess all the voters, murderers, and murder motives... I listed them all. Quite a few!"
"Although the whole game has a main line, it doesn't focus on a single case. It divides the case into process paragraphs. At first, I thought that this game only needs to deduce the voters and murderers of the dead. It turns out that the whole apartment is still hiding behind the scenes."
"I agree with the above, the man behind the scenes is so well hidden! I won't spoil who 'he' is for the time being, but when you finally analyze the logic of the whole story and sort it out backwards, you will find that 'he' actually runs through the whole story. The whole case, all the cases are vaguely related to "him"... This logic is so absolute and so smooth!"
"I really think the plot of "Sunflower Apartment" can be called a work of art!"]
Analysis and discussion posts about the plot accounted for more than half of the forum. This time, the most acclaimed in Lily City's new work "Sunflower Apartment" is the plot of this game, and there are even countless fans of the game—whether it is just playing games or Lily City. Fans are writing petitions, begging Teacher April to write the plot of "Sunflower Apartment" into a novel and publish it.
Matsuura Fumichi of the Yokohama Literary Club is naturally also the one who was crazily attacked. His expression is very helpless, and he thinks too!Don't ask Teacher Siyue to follow suit, since the other party returned to Yokohama, he hasn't seen anyone yet.
However, Fumiichi Matsuura, as an experienced middle-aged editor, has made perfect preparations for urging manuscripts. He swears with his career that he will definitely urge Chapter 1 of the next novel!
……
At the same time that Edogawa was rushing to clear the difficulty of the nightmare, in a manor across the ocean in the United States, in a room where the curtains were never drawn, the desk lamp had been on for a long time.
In the place where the light can't reach, there are some scattered books scattered everywhere on the ground, and there are many books on the bookcases - notebooks full of words.
The image of the owner of the room looked a little gloomy, bangs completely covered his eyes, but at the moment he was focused, completely immersed in the gradually unfolding plot, and not long after, the word "clearance" appeared on the screen, and the words that jumped out leaderboard.
Seeing the game ID ranked first, the dark-haired young man's purple eye, which was exposed from under his thick bangs, dimmed, and then buried his face in the fur of a raccoon.
"Carl, we lost again."
The raccoon patted his head spiritually to comfort him.
Edgar Allan Poe was lost for a moment... but he was actually used to it. He raised his head from Carl's fur, his eyes fell on the scattered books on the ground, and said slightly absently: "Carl, I want to know the person who wrote the story of 'Sunflower' .”
He seems to remember Fitzgerald's invitation last time, did the other party say that Teacher will come to the United States in April...
It seems that we have to accept his invitation, and Poe made up his mind to go out.
After that, he also opened the {Reference Forum}, and searched through a large group of Japanese posts for related content without any difficulty, and one of them caught his attention.
[—Talk about the better aspects of "Sunflower Apartment" than "Iris Academy"!
Landlord: First put a picture to prove that I am a diehard fan of Lily City, {Lily City Christianity Certificate.jpg}.I like both of them, and I beat both.
But I want to talk about what "Sunflower" does better than "Iris" this time-this game has a strong sense of substitution.
First of all, decryption and reasoning are perfectly integrated. Every decryption is for the progress of reasoning. As a person who finally got through the difficult mode, what I am more satisfied with this game is the twists and turns of the whole story and plot, interlocking and exciting. , and among them, I must emphasize the word "sense of substitution".
All of our players, as the protagonists, when they moved into this apartment, experienced the story of visiting neighbors at the beginning. At that time, the whole game was peaceful and comfortable, and the graphics and music were bright, but we all knew that this was an inference The game is waiting for the first dead to appear.
As the first deceased, the "administrator" was declared dead as we expected. At that time, I was a little proud and relieved.
And the next plot that appeared was the most acclaimed "Exchanging Murder" this time. After completing the novice process and investigating the administrator's dormitory, I thought I would start the investigation of the follow-up room——
——I never expected the camera to change suddenly, and the sentence "It's your turn!" instantly brought me back to the state of mind when I watched "Red Moon Manor". At that moment, I knew that I was completely immersed in this game and this plot!
……
The gameplay of the whole game requires us to solve the case and reason in the plot personally. Imagine that you live in such an apartment where people die frequently, and you are the only person in this apartment with a clean network.
Every time you exchange and kill, every time you get new information, it inspires you to explore forward. When you guess the answer correctly, you will be immersed in the joy of success and cannot extricate yourself; Unexpectedly amazed.
The whole process of the game is not only a process of using the brain and reading the story, but also a project of acting. As an old reasoning fan, I have experienced a completely novel world and a different life in this game.
That's why I like "Sunflower Apartment" far more than "Iris Gakuen"! 】
Edgar Allan Poe's reading speed has always been fast. After reading the author's thoughts, he couldn't help but nodded silently. Yes, his feelings were the same as the author's. mobilized.
Of course, the decryption part also consumed him a lot of energy. The reasoning and planning of Ayatsuji Xingren is definitely a reasoning genius comparable to Ranpo, so every time a room is opened, the sense of accomplishment gained can be said to be indescribable. The connection with reasoning is so cooperative and tacit, the two complement each other, and the overall game experience is excellent.
Poe now became more and more curious about these two men.
"Carl, tell me, should we go directly to Yokohama?" But before the raccoon could react, he rejected the idea again, "Forget it, I don't want to go out..."
……
And when the nightmare ranking list finally got ten people, the Deep Space Reasoning and Planning Office, Ayatsuji Pedestrian also condescendingly glanced at the list on the ranking list, and naturally only looked at the nightmare list, after all, his expression The bags were all made by the idiot players on the other three lists and the Lily Babies.
Thinking of the emoticons, Ayatsuji Xingren’s face turned cold, and he clicked on the reasoning forum to investigate the situation. His reading speed was also very fast, almost continuously scrolling the scroll wheel, and turned to many plot discussion posts. Suddenly, a certain title stopped his fingers...
