The daily news this time just pointed at Zuniga's head and said: The people of the mountains you are looking for are in the corridor from the fifth town to the thirteenth town.
Zuniga originally planned to search the whole city slowly, but it might take several days or even half a month to achieve initial results.
But this news directly saved him a lot of time.
How can you make him unhappy?
No wonder he was so excited...
"Wait for me for a moment, I will ask Print Girl to quickly go to the corridor from the fifth town to the thirteenth town to draw graffiti!" Zuniga said to Angel excitedly.
Angel nodded silently.
Zuniga quickly summoned the clone of Print Girl, told her the situation, and asked her to quickly go to the underground neighborhood with her collaborators.
When the printed girl disappeared, Zuniga's mood was still high.
If Zuniga hadn't been able to distinguish clearly, finding the people of the mountains did not mean that he would be able to find the dark corners. He would have abandoned what he was doing at this time and went to wait and see with the printed girl.
"The people of the motherland are the people of the motherland, the dark corner passage is the dark corner passage, calm down... calm down..."
Zuniga took a few long breaths of relief before slowly returning his pounding heart to normal.
Zuniga turned to look at Angel: "It seems that the Daily News can't give us any clues here. How about I continue to analyze the hanging paintings? There are several oil paintings in the corridor..."
Angel: "You analyze it, it's better for me to analyze it."
Zuniga coughed awkwardly: "Then how about I gamble with "fixed news"?"
"Who do you want to target?"
"It is possible that the participants in the matter of fixing the location, or the tracers looking for clues, can get the clues." Zuniga said this and looked at Angel.
The meaning is self-evident.
Zuniga couldn't target himself, so he could only target Angel.
Angel squinted his eyes and thought about the feasibility of this matter.
He actually doesn't mind being "targeted in the news". After all, Zuniga is not "dreaming about NPCs". No matter what news he targets himself, it will never be brought into reality.
No matter how big the news is, it will only be digested in this copy.
But the premise of all this is that Angel is willing to target his own news based on understanding "himself".
To put it bluntly: If Angel really lets Zuniga use "fixed news" on him in the future, he is just curious about what news will appear on him.
Rather than "fixing yourself to look for clues in dark corners".
Because this is basically impossible to achieve, the probability is infinitely close to zero.
"Targeting me is basically impossible to help clues." Angel: "If you want to maximize the use of targeted news, it is better to target Alfred's relatives and friends, or wait until we find the identity of the Lord of Darkness.
Target him."
Zuniga touched his chin: "You are right. So what should we do now? Continue to search for clues, or look for Alfred's friends?"
Angel still prefers to continue looking for clues here.
Because according to the hints of the fairyland information, there is a high probability that there are clues here. They didn't find it. Maybe it was because they were not careful enough or they ignored certain characteristics?
Angel pondered for a moment and said softly: "Since your daily news is of no use, how about I try..."
Zuniga was surprised: "You also have daily news?"
Angel shook his head: "I don't have daily news, but I have...traffic insights!"
Traffic insight? Zuniga frowned. As a senior magician, how could he not know the fashionable magic of "traffic insight".
Traffic insights come from the popular fashion monster: traffic bat.
It is a conventional ability, and its effect is to target an event of ordinary popularity. After the news uses this ability, there is a probability of identifying the key figures who made the event a hot topic.
This ability is mostly used to build public opinion. Angel wants to use this ability to find clues... which is a bit beyond Zuniga's imagination.
"Let me think about it. Do you want to use this ability to find someone who can find the clues here? Do you want him to interpret the clues left in the room?" Zuniga asked.
"Isn't it possible?" Angel asked rhetorically instead of speaking directly.
Zuniga shook his head: "Of course not. This ability is only to find people who have the ability to 'build momentum', not to find people who have the ability to 'solve cases'."
"Moreover, this ability also has a release probability, which is very low..."
In short, in Zuniga's mind, it is impossible to find clues using this ability.
At most, they can find someone who can make the "Missing Knight Case" a hot news item.
But if it becomes a hot news item, you may not be able to find someone to solve the puzzle clues, and it may even attract a large group of onlookers, destroying the layout of the place.
Angel: "It doesn't matter. I don't have any clues anyway. I'll try whatever I want."
If his traffic insight is really the original, then he also supports Zuniga's statement. But his traffic insight is not the original, but a "viral" one.
Although Angel is not sure that he will be able to find the answer by relying on "traffic insight and viralization", the probability is still higher than the original version.
Because there is such a text description in "Traffic Insights. Viralization": For events and news where there is a behind-the-scenes promoter, you can use this ability to find out the identity of the promoter.
According to Angel's personal understanding...if there is really a person behind the "Knight Disappearance Case", then perhaps we can use this to find traces of this person.
Seeing that Angel was determined to try, Zuniga no longer stopped him.
In Zuniga's opinion, whether the dissuasion is useful is another matter, but hitting the southern wall will definitely leave a deeper impression on Angel.
Therefore, there is no need to dissuade, there is no harm in trying "traffic insight" anyway, it is just a waste of time and energy bar.
Zuniga stood up and continued to the tapestry, deciding to take advantage of this time to conduct another analysis.
Maybe his "reasoning skills" will be the key to victory this time.
On the other side, Angel took out his magic book and turned to the page about traffic bats.
Angel actually tried "traffic insight and viralization" before, but it was completed by Turing at that time. This time Turing was not around, so he had to explore the release of magic by himself.
I have to say that if you have Turing, you can release magic very quickly...
Let Angel try it himself. It took him ten seconds just to inject the energy bar into the magic book and search for the corresponding "magic" among the vast light spots.
Although ten seconds may not seem like a long time, you must know that before Turing released this ability, he released it in seconds.
You can see the difference by comparison.
Fortunately, this is only auxiliary magic, not attacking each other on the battlefield. A little forward movement in casting is nothing... as long as it can be released, it is a success.
When the progress of "Traffic Insight. Viralization" reached about 30%, there was a slight pause.
It's not that there's a problem on Angel's part, it's that the ability itself makes multiple choices when it's cast.
If you use the concrete representation of the text column, it is——
"Please "circle" the events or news in which this ability is implemented."
The delineation here simply means to confirm which news event this capability will be used for?
If a magician from Modern City were to "circle" it, he would need to use energy points to construct a complete record of the news event in his mind. The more complete it is, the easier it will be to "circle" it.
However, the challenger is not a native after all. If the challenger releases this ability, he will have multiple choices.
You can use energy points to construct corresponding news events in your mind like a local magician.
You can also directly select events you have encountered before in the personal experience in the text column.
Then just check it directly.
Just like Angel, he quickly flipped up the text column until he saw the words "Side mission "The Lost Knight"", and he used "eye movement operation" to check the event.
After confirming the circle, the progress bar stuck at 30% moves forward again.
This means that the event he "described" has been successful.
The progress bar quickly jumped from 30% to 90%. At this moment, the progress bar became stuck again.
This is also the "choice node" you want to face when casting this magic.
Or use the text column to express——
"1. Find the promoter who can heat up the event. (Consumption of 20 heat points)"
"2. Find the person behind the incident. (Consumption of 20 heat points)"
"Please choose between 1 and 2."
It is said to be a choice between 1 and 2, but in fact you can also choose 1 and 2 at the same time, but for Angel, there is no need to choose both.
He currently only needs the second type.
As for the first type, Angel had a plan to test the effect, but he did not use the "Case of the Missing Knight" to test it.
Angel did not hesitate and directly chose to "find out the person behind the incident"!
After making a selection, 20 heat points are instantly deducted, and the progress bar is pushed directly to 100%!
Before Angel could react, he felt his consciousness drifting away from his body and reaching the sky above the Modern City... Below were billowing black clouds, and under the black clouds was the neon-flashing Modern City.
And his consciousness floated to the sky, which is closest to the sky!
If I could describe this place in one sentence, it would be... the card drawing interface.
Yes, this is the interface for drawing abilities every time! Even in the sky above your head, there are light groups that resemble drawing cards.
However, Angel is very sure that these light groups are not the so-called card drawing ability, but were found by "Traffic Insight. Viralization" and were the driving force behind the "Knight Disappearance Case"!
In other words, each light group represents a character!
Angel roughly counted more than twenty light groups in total, fifteen of which were blue light groups, four purple light groups, and one golden light group.
This actually corresponds to the card drawing interface. The blue light group on the card drawing interface represents regular abilities, the purple light group represents special abilities, and the golden light group represents hidden abilities.
Here, the lights of different colors represent the driving force behind the "Missing Knight Case" and their degree of connection with the case.
The blue light group represents "weak correlation".
The purple light group represents a closer degree of correlation, which is temporarily called "positive correlation".
The golden light group represents a very high degree of correlation, which can be called "strong correlation".
From the light group in the sky, we can know that the only golden light group is probably the most critical person in causing Alfred's disappearance!
Angel did not hesitate and opened the golden light group first.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this golden light group may be able to solve my mystery..." Angel said to himself, but before he finished speaking, he saw a fog in the golden light group.
Angel:???
Isn’t the golden light group a strongly related character? Why is it the mist?
When Angel was confused, relevant information appeared in the text column: "This character is not in the current copy and cannot be targeted."
Angel: "...Okay."
When he saw this sentence, he understood immediately.
The person behind the case that directly led to Alfred's disappearance is not currently in the current copy. In other words, there is a high probability that it is the existence of a dark corner.
It makes sense to think about it, if Alfred can go from reality to the dark corner, there must be help from the dark corner.
Angel had also had an "in-depth" chat with Abigail before about whether there was a way to bring humans out of the real world and into a dark corner.
Abigail said: "Yes, but not many. Apart from luck finding the entrance to the dark corner from the real world, there is only one possibility left, which is to be pulled into the dark corner by a powerful entity."
What is a “powerful entity”?
Abigail actually doesn't know much about it. There are relatively few entities in the level where it often appears. Moreover, even if it encounters entities, they are not very powerful entities.
Why did Abigail know this information even though she didn't know it clearly? Abigail said that this was what the humans in Dark Corner told him.
The "human beings" it talks about are not designators, but other human beings.
If we look at the total number, there are actually quite a lot of humans in the dark corners. It’s just because the dark corners are so large that one level is comparable to the world, and humans are distributed at all levels, so it doesn’t look like there are too many humans in the dark corners.
But in fact, there are a lot of human beings in total, and there are even a large number of organizations and groups distributed at various levels in the dark corners.
Abigail knew a lot of secret information from human organizations.
It itself has not come into contact with "powerful entities", but human organizations have. According to those humans, many levels have owners, and the owners of such levels can also be called "powerful entities".
Therefore, the most crucial person who pulled Alfred into the dark corner is most likely the "powerful entity" that Abigail calls.
And this powerful entity must exist in a dark corner.
Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that the golden light group created a fog.
Since the characters in the golden light group cannot spy, only the purple light group and the blue light group are left.
Angel thought for a while and decided to start with the "weakly correlated" blue light group.
Different from the card drawing interface, the light group here Angel can freely specify who comes first and who comes last. He picked up a blue light group and placed it in front of his eyes.
Consciousness dives into it to analyze.
In an instant, the light group exploded, and a figure appeared in front of him along with the changing scene...
