Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 196: Three Paths

(Er Gou: How were you able to bring it here?)

(You: It's hard for me to explain that to you.)

(Er Gou looks over the device from all angles, unable to contain his excitement, but soon his brows furrow, and he looks angry.)

(Er Gou: How did you know the password?)

(Not knowing how to explain, you decide not to offer an explanation, curious to see Er Gou's reaction.)

(Er Gou gradually calms down, he too remains silent.)

(Your keen mental power tells you that if you can't persuade Er Gou, he might very well kill you.)

(You close your eyes and think for a while.)

(The phrase "Never compromise" was found on a slip of paper in the library of the Wapeng High School where you studied. Er Gou possesses the technological heritage of a mortician, which means he likely knows the history of the morticians, or perhaps he is a descendant of one.)

(You: I am on the same path as you.)

(Er Gou is taken aback.)

(You: What you want to do, I want to do as well.)

(Er Gou nods, pointing to the device on the ground.)

(Er Gou: Bring that thing and follow me.)

(You nod, stowing the device in the black orb's space.)

(Er Gou leads you to a workshop behind the casino, through the storage room, into the workshop. Two robots inside are working hard.)

(Er Gou: Since you've got that device, you probably know what it's for, right?)

(You: I don't quite understand it.)

(Er Gou: This thing can shield rules. I found it among the relics of the morticians. That's why I can break the law under the police's nose, and they can't do anything about me.)

(You suddenly understand.)

(Er Gou: However, this device needs t-091 as energy each time, so I had to buy up t-091 as the energy to activate it, and it must be obtained through transactions. Additionally, the excess t-091 has to be kept as spellcasting materials, and just these are nowhere near enough.)

(You make a grand gesture and a large pile of raw ore appears.)

(Er Gou exclaims in surprise.)

(You quickly stow the ore back.)

(You: Do you believe me now?)

(Er Gou: You're no ordinary person, how do you know so much?)

(You: Even if I explained, you wouldn't understand.)

(Er Gou: Fine, let's forget it for now. Come here at 10 p.m tomorrow night with the thing, and I'll tell you what I've been doing every day.)

(You: No problem.)

(You return to your room.)

(You terminate the deduction!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes, taking a deep breath.

As he had suspected, Er Gou's actions were likely all aimed at overthrowing "His" leadership. The true condition for perfectly clearing the game was to kill the ruler of this world.

However, Gu Yi discovered a significant weakness in Er Gou.

He was always alone.

Up until now, Gu Yi had never seen Er Gou share his secrets with anyone. How exhausting must it be for such a person to live in this world?

Gu Yi let out a soft sigh, walked over to Er Gou, and said in a low voice, "I got it back."

"What?"

Er Gou looked at Gu Yi, confused and bewildered.

...

Kanon rejected Er Gou's invitation, decisively leaving the casino, refusing to stay there.

This all happened after Kanon made a phone call.

After the call, Kanon didn't say a word.

"Didn't get through?"

"No, it got through." Kanon put down the phone and said, "Can I come here every day?"

"To whom you were calling?"

"My father. I have to call him every night at 10, it's just a pity he can't answer the phone anymore. I've kept his mobile number just so I can hear his ringback tone."

"Mmm..."

Er Gou nodded.

Kanon's excuse was a bit strange, and Er Gou still felt he couldn't fully trust her.

"You can stay here."

"No, I don't want to, thank you."

Kanon smiled, bowed, and turned to leave the casino.

Outside, several thugs blocked Kanon's way.

Kanon's face lost color, and she didn't dare to confront Er Gou.

Gu Yi had once warned her that if Er Gou insisted on having her stay at the casino, she should try not to refuse, as it could likely trigger a fatal flag.

"Why won't you let me go?"

"It's too dangerous outside; it's safest for you to stay here."

"Are you worried I'll betray you?" Kanon asked with a bitter smile. "Don't you trust me?"

"It's not that. I'm just saying it to protect you."

Er Gou shook his head, took Kanon by the arm, and led her into a house behind the casino.

Kanon closed her eyes. She didn't know why Er Gou was doing this or what his ultimate goal was; she could only act according to Gu Yi's instructions.

To be honest, since the third day, Kanon had started to feel overwhelmed.

After hearing Gu Yi's various complicated arrangements and his speculations about the plot, Kanon had completely lost track. Gaining Er Gou's trust was entirely due to her intuitive reaction and excellent acting skills.

"It's okay, Kanon... You can definitely do it."

Kanon closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Starting tomorrow, she decided to quit her job at the mine and planned to meet up with Xiao Xue and join her group.

...

Dennis wrote down a bunch of information and handed it over to his superiors.

All this information was provided by Gu Yi.

Without the help of Gu Yi and Kanon, even if he continued to undercover for another ten days, he might not have been able to find out anything.

"These two people's skills are simply godlike. If I had these skills, I would have cleared the dungeon a long time ago."

Dennis muttered somewhat resentfully. In his heart, Gu Yi and Kanon were just lucky to have drawn two incredible skills, while his own talent, besides enhancing his survival ability, was practically useless.

Rotten meat was hard to swallow, but fortunately, it wasn't expensive.

After finishing his meal, Dennis immediately took the report to the desk of the police station chief.

The chief, wearing glasses, looked at the report and then at Dennis with some surprise.

"How did you investigate this information? Especially, what is this traveler star's magic?"

"Today, I pretended to make a deal with Er Gou, and he used a teleportation skill in front of me, and he also told me that this is a traveler star's skill..."

Dennis talked eloquently, exaggerating Kanon's experiences.

The chief believed him completely and immediately arranged for someone to investigate the "Traveler Star Aliens." It wasn't long before one of his subordinates called him, providing basic information about the Traveler Star residents.

"You're right, if that's true, then we really have no way to catch him. But if he needs to sacrifice blood to use the traveler star's ability, it means he is, at least, human like us."

"So..."

"So, we must have a way to deal with it."

The chief pondered for a moment, then extended his right hand towards Dennis, "I'll give you a little reward."
