Wasteland Love Game

Chapter 221 215

"Damn it! She's running away!"

"She's running up to the roof! Catch her!"

In the residential building in the Whitechapel District, Chen Entropy and the detective man were chasing one after the other.

And the "mission target" they are chasing is a tricolor cyborg cat.

The kitten was running around in the corridor, but Chen Entropy took a shortcut and stopped in front of it.

"Hey! Caught her!"

The kitten was so frightened that it wanted to turn around and run away, but Formalin seized the opportunity and jumped up, grabbing the kitten from behind.

Formalin threw the struggling cat into the iron cage, and praised Chen Entropy with a happy face:

"Ahahahaha! I didn't expect that we completed the commission in only half an hour! Thanks to Mr. Chen's help!"

"So this is the mysterious commission you're talking about?" Chen Entropy squatted on the edge of the corridor, looking at the complacent detective with a tired face:
"Didn't you say that this is a 'deep and crazy case' and you will die if you don't finish it?"

That's right, the case that the big detective just pretended to be mysterious is actually a commission to help the neighbor's grandmother catch a cat.

"That's wrong~ I'm not lying, this is indeed a very difficult case! After all, this cat has undergone prosthetic transformation, and it is very likely that one person will catch it without success."

Hearing Chen Entropy's complaints, Formalin wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she shook her finger, raised her head and laughed heartily:

"Besides, I'm penniless now, and the last of my money has been used to pay this month's rent. If I can't complete this commission, I'll starve to death soon. Isn't this a very dangerous thing?"

"Then if you just find someone to help you on the street, aren't you afraid that I will trick you?" Chen Entropy asked.

"Because I see sincerity in your black gem-like eyes!" Formalin stretched out her finger, showing a chic and frivolous smile, and became babbling when she spoke:

"I've always trusted my instincts, so I knew right away that you could be my 'Watson'!"

"." Looking at Formalin's smile, Chen Entropy couldn't help but sigh.

And a new prompt popped up in his favorability system:
[You have unlocked a new character: "The Poor Detective of Baker Street" Formalin]

【Favorability: 6/20】

That's right, the reason why Chen Entropy agreed to this guy's commission was because he was an important task role related to the subsequent Wudu incident.

This assisting task of catching cats is the plot where the player meets this character for the first time. As long as the player enters the Whitechapel area three days before the Fog City event, it will definitely be triggered.

The first impression of this self-proclaimed detective is that he talks to himself and is familiar with himself, and the way he speaks is a bit off-line, and he drags the player to catch the cat for no reason.

However, Formalin is definitely a "decent" character on the player's side, and has unique and outstanding skills. He will help the player a lot in the story of the foggy city, and is the key figure to help the player find "Professor Dusha" .

Although Chen Entropy didn't need to go out of his way to please him, a slight increase in favorability was always better than nothing.

"In short, thank you very much this time! I will not break my promise, and I will send you half of the entrustment money when I get the money!" Formalin carried the cat cage and went to the old lady with Chen Entropy to receive the bounty .

However, the detective did not take two steps, but suddenly his footsteps became unstable, and he fell to the ground in a flat manner.The cat cage was also smashed down, and the cat inside screamed in fright.

"Hello! Are you okay?" Seeing this, Chen Entropy hurried forward to check the situation:

"Why did you fall down all of a sudden?"

"The stomach is wriggling again, it hurts so much. I haven't eaten for five days, and I can't walk anymore." When Formalin raised her head, her complexion had turned pale.

"Hey" Chen Entropy covered his face and sighed, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said:

"I'll take you to dinner first, I invite you."

In a dilapidated small restaurant, Formalin had swallowed eight bowls of ramen in one go, like a starving ghost.The empty bowls were piled up like a hill, and the guests around were stunned.

"Boss! Another bowl!" Formalin quickly emptied the ninth bowl of ramen, and waved to the boss again.

"Are you so edible?" Chen Entropy looked at Formalin contentedly licking the corners of her shiny mouth, and couldn't help complaining:

"This appetite is no longer in the category of normal people?"

"Suck—hiccup, hahahaha! After all, I haven't eaten for five days, and I must make up for this meal!" Formalin took the ninth bowl of noodles handed to him by the boss, and continued to eat:
"At first, I expected to rely on this entrusted reward to eat, but I didn't expect to starve and faint at this juncture when I was going to get the reward. Thanks to Mr. Chen for bringing me to the restaurant, otherwise I would have died on the street!"

"Are you a camel? You eat so carefully that your stomach is ruined." Chen Entropy shook his head and asked:

"Besides, you, who run a detective agency, are you so poor?"

"Sneaking~~ There is no way to do it, after all, being a detective is very important about connections. My detective agency has only been open for a few months, and I have no connections at all. Basically, no adults will come to me for commissions. "Formalin continued to suck the noodles in the bowl, and couldn't help complaining:

"A few days ago, I managed to earn a sum of money and wanted to eat, but it turned out that it was time to pay the rent this month, so I had to pay all the money and continue to be hungry."

"Then can't you tell the landlord to pay the rent a few days later?" Chen Entropy couldn't help asking: "How can anyone pay the rent and have no money to eat?"

"Ah ha ha ha hiccup! Are you kidding? The rent must be paid on time! This is a basic integrity issue!" Formalin stuffed her mouth with noodles, and then asked vaguely:
"Mr. Chen, what do you think is the most important thing in life?"

"What is it?" Chen Entropy asked curiously.

"Of course it's 'justice'!" Formalin said with a handsome smile:

"Justice is the foundation of maintaining order and the bridge built by civilization. And I am a detective to dig out justice from the hands of evil!"

"So what does this have to do with paying the rent even if you would rather starve to death?" Chen Entropy asked, holding his cheek.

Hearing this, Formalin waved her arms in the air a few times, then lowered her head and asked seriously:

"Then let me ask you, if you found 1 yuan on the street, and you just needed 1 yuan to buy emergency medicine to survive, how would you choose?"

"I will definitely choose the latter," Chen Entropy responded.

"Yes~ I believe that 90.00% of the people in this city will choose the latter. This is a crime!" Formalin suddenly clenched her fists and said with an angry but funny expression:

"It is a crime to use ill-gotten wealth, and it is also a crime to default on the rent after making an appointment with the landlord. These evil deeds are as common as eating and drinking in Yeshu City! So this city is a sinful city. what!"

"Then you would rather starve to death and pay the rent on time in order to become what you call a 'just' person?" Chen Entropy asked.

"That's it! I'm pursuing justice, so I have to start with myself!" Formalin slapped the table, her eyes suddenly became hot:

"Do you know, Mr. Chen? My dream is to make this city just and kind! Ahahahahahaha! You think this is a great ideal too?!"

"Well, it's great." Seeing that the detective opened up the conversation, Chen Entropy could only slightly nod in response: "But can you do it?"

"Although I am just a poor little detective now, I believe that as long as I continue to investigate cases and crack down on the crimes in this city, one day I will be able to bring light to this city!" Formalin tapped lightly with her fingers Looking at the table, showing a smile full of expectation:

"Maybe this idea sounds naive to you, but this is my agreement with my father! I want to impress my father and let him recognize me again!"

"Okay, big detective, whatever you want~" Chen Entropy stroked his still somewhat empty stomach, beckoned to the boss and said:
"Boss, bring me a lamb skewer!"

As soon as Chen Entropy finished speaking, Formalin suddenly came to his side, covered Chen Entropy's mouth with her hand, and said in his ear:

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Entropy lowered his head slightly and asked in a low voice.

"Don't order the meat products from this restaurant, don't you find something wrong with this restaurant?" Formalin reminded.

"What's wrong with this restaurant?" Chen Entropy was puzzled by his surprise.

"Hmm~ Didn't you see it?" Seeing Chen Entropy's confused face, Formalin suddenly held the brim of her hat with her hands, showing a proud smile:
"That's right, after all, you are not a detective, so some things can't be seen! If that's the case, then let me tell you about 'Watson', the disharmony in this restaurant!"

As if entering a strange mode, Formalin stood up abruptly, pointed at the guests at the next table and said:

"First of all, the first clue is what the customer at the next table ordered!"

Following Formalin's fingers, Chen Entropy saw a middle-aged man on the opposite table.The customer ordered a mutton fried rice, but at first glance there was nothing wrong with it.

As if seeing through Chen Entropy's mind, Formalin smiled triumphantly and said:

"You must want to say, 'It's just a plate of ordinary fried rice, why is it a clue'?"

"." Formalin's current demeanor and way of speaking resembled a great detective who had already seen through everything, making Chen Entropy dare not open his mouth to refute at will.

The guests at the next table also showed confusion when they heard what Formalin said.

Without further ado, Formalin ran to the guest's table and grabbed a handful of fried rice from the plate.

"Hey! What are you doing!" The guest became impatient, wanting to punch the detective who sabotaged her lunch in the face.

However, Formalin turned around like a tap dance, nimbly dodged the guest's fist, and then brought the fried rice in front of Chen Entropy:
"Look, is there something unnatural in the fried rice?"

"This is." Following Formalin's prompt, Chen Entropy discovered that a piece of linen cloth the size of a fingernail was embedded in the fried rice held by Formalin, which looked like a piece of clothing that had been shredded. fragments.

Most of the small restaurants in Yeshu City have poor sanitation, and it is common for fried rice to be mixed with bugs.However, it is not common for food to be mixed with fragments of clothes.

"You can actually find that there are clothes and cloths in the fried rice on the next table. Normal people can't notice this kind of thing at all." Chen Entropy was taken aback, and couldn't help sighing.

"Hmph ~ As a detective, strong insight is very necessary! Even if it is a detail that is too small to be ignored, you must not let it go!"

Formalin tore off this piece of linen, then looked it over carefully, and continued:

"The texture of this piece of clothing is very rough, it should be worn by the poor or homeless. So, this detective came up with an inference!"

"What inference?" Chen Entropy asked.

"The mutton in this store is actually made of human flesh!" Seemingly very satisfied with Chen Entropy's praise, Formalin patted the table with her hand, pointed at the store owner and shouted:

"Actually, this store is slaughtering the corpses of homeless people and selling them as mutton, but they don't clean up the meat, causing pieces of clothes to get mixed into the meat! That's my reasoning!"

"What. I eat human flesh?!" Hearing this, the diner who had just been harassed by Formalin suddenly lost his composure and asked with a pale face.

The rest of the guests in the restaurant were also attracted by Formalin's shouts, and all of them gathered their eyes.

Hearing such accusations, the face of the restaurant owner also became serious:

"Don't spit blood! How can we use human flesh for cooking?!"

"Hmph~ All criminals will say they are innocent, but your struggle is so ridiculous~ why don't you explain why there is cloth in your fried rice?"

"Well, the cloth in the fried rice is probably due to the chef's mistake, probably the cloth used to wrap the ingredients was not cleaned up." The boss shook his head and looked at Formalin with a bad expression:

"But because of this kind of thing, we are slandering our restaurant for cooking with human flesh. You'd better explain this matter clearly!"

"If we only rely on this detail, we will definitely not be sure of this reasoning." Formalin went straight to the boss, pointed to a newspaper and said:
"So, let's take a look at the second evidence!"

"What is this?" Chen Entropy also stepped forward curiously, looking at the newspaper.

The headline of the newspaper was a news about the seizure of a certain meat factory in Yeshu City.According to the reporter's exposure, that meat factory secretly cooperates with the most notorious gang in Yeshu City, the "Vulture Club".

A major business of the Vulture Society is to abduct homeless and poor people, and then harvest their organs and prosthetic bodies for sale.And the meat factory bought the corpses with their organs hollowed out at a very low price to make meat products.

"Boss, when you were watching the news just now, I saw an unnatural sadness on your face!" Formalin smiled smartly:
"You must often get goods from this meat factory. After learning that this factory has been seized, you are worried that you will also be affected!"

As an important character in the Wudu incident, Formalin has a special skill called [Super Intuitive Insight].

As the name suggests, this skill is like opening a reasoning game, giving him innate intuition and insight beyond ordinary people, and he can even draw important clues by observing other people's micro-expressions.

"I..." the owner of the restaurant was taken aback by what Formalin said, and then gritted his teeth and retorted: "You, you are talking nonsense! What do you mean by unnatural eyes? You are talking nonsense without evidence!"

"Hmph~ I think my deduction is reasonable!"

Formalin picked up the pipe and stuffed it in her mouth, leaning against the wall with a full face:
"Come on, everyone! Go to the kitchen if you don't believe me! The truth is right in front of your eyes!"

After the words fell, several diners rushed into the kitchen regardless of the boss's obstruction.

"Found it!" Soon, a diner found an empty meat can, and the pattern printed on the can was the seized meat factory.

The evidence was conclusive, the restaurant owner's face darkened immediately, and he stared at Formalin with vicious eyes.

"Oh, my dear God~ Look at this look of shame and anger, this is the eyes that criminals will show after being exposed~" Formalin triumphantly raised the brim of her hat with her fingers, and made a handsome pose :

"Cowardly person, your name is sinner~"

Soon, the restaurant owner was besieged by angry diners, and Chen Entropy also took this opportunity to leave the restaurant with Formalin.

"It's really powerful reasoning." Chen Entropy smiled slightly, and he didn't know whether it was sincere or flattering and sighed: "Fortunately, you stopped me from eating their meat."

"Ahahahaha! As you can see, what you say and what you do is justice!" Formalin laughed pompously, and patted Chen Entropy's shoulder vigorously:

"I said I would owe you a favor, just now is the time to repay the favor!"

"So when you ate their ramen just now, you deliberately didn't order any meat dishes?" Chen Entropy asked.

"It's just a coincidence. In fact, it's because I don't like meat. I only discovered the problem in this restaurant when I ate the eighth bowl." Formalin suddenly lowered her head, and the shadow of the brim of the hat covered her deep eyes. :

"As you can see, 30.00% of the success rate of reasoning is given to wisdom, 50.00% to luck, and the last 20.00% is given to miracles~ If you eat kebabs before I discover the problem in this restaurant, you You should be vomiting with a green face by now~”

"That's right, thank you very much this time, Mr. Justice Detective~ But by the way, you ate so many bowls of noodles just now, it seems that you haven't paid for it yet?" Chen Entropy suddenly thought of something and reminded.

"." Hearing this, Formalin suddenly raised her head and stared at Chen Entropy with staring eyes, as if to say, "Why are you so talkative?"

After a long while, Formalin turned her head in embarrassment, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Ahem, reasoning and miracles are not free! These bowls of noodles are the price he paid for his crimes. Cough cough, that's it! It's definitely not because I want to save money!"

"You guy. Forget it. After all, not everyone can be a perfect saint." Chen Entropy shrugged, and didn't care too much:
"It's not bad to meet you in this city~"

As soon as Chen Entropy finished speaking, the system showed that Formalin's favorability increased by 2.

"Then I'll return the cat to the old lady first, and then I'll call you the money!" Formalin picked up the cat cage, took out her mobile phone and exchanged contact information with Chen Entropy.

"See you when you are free, Mr. Chen! We had a great time getting along with you!" Formalin waved her index and middle fingers together, made a farewell gesture to Chen Entropy, and left at a pace of disrespect.

"We will see you soon." Chen Entropy waved his hand and left in the opposite direction with his suitcase.
