[You continue to play!]
The video on the left continues to speed up countless times...
The text explanation on the right describes in detail what will happen next!
[Text commentary:] You racked your brains and finally chose to buy a new fruit knife from a fruit shop in the middle of the night. You waited for the target character (NPC) in the hospital parking lot and killed the target in a messy and desperate manner!
[Text commentary:] You were very scared after hunting the target.
You ran away, leaving the murder weapon on the ground.
The police arrived at the scene, lifted fingerprints, and used the hospital cameras to identify a suspect who had investigated the deceased in advance!
[Text commentary:] Later that night, your identity as the murderer was confirmed by the police, and a warrant for your arrest was issued!
Arthur immediately shook his head when he saw this.
This should be the outcome if you act on your own, but it still feels very stupid to deduce it from a third-party perspective!
He asked in surprise, "What if I'm not satisfied with the deduction process?"
"How do I change the way I deduce?"
"For example, what if I don't buy a fruit knife?"
"What if I wipe my fingerprints in advance and then block the surveillance camera with something?"
"No, I can do it in a way that avoids the camera altogether!"
At that moment, the system detected his wishes, and a solution immediately emerged!
[You are dissatisfied with the deduction process and decide to scrap it and start over!]
[It is recommended that you save the node records during the deduction process. Once you find that the progress of the situation does not meet your expectations, you can revert to the saved point and choose another way to proceed!]
[If you don't save it, the progress of the deduction will be completely erased!]
[The development of the world timeline will not change after the rollback; the historical trajectory will follow everything before the deduction. Players only need to change their behavior, which will create a butterfly effect and alter the final deduction result!]
Arthur suddenly smiled and said, "So that's how it works! Then I'll just go back to the beginning and save!"
[Saving—]
[3]
[2]
[1]
[Save successful: Please name...]
Arthur smiled and named this save [Target: Doctor with Moral Decay, I Am Waiting for an Opportunity!]
"I understand now!"
"I ended the last deduction, which means that nothing actually happened!"
"If I don't change any behavior, history will still repeat itself."
"For example, if I do it again, the patient is still in that ward, and the same things will happen when you meet me!"
"But if I replay it now, the result will definitely be different!"
"Because it's simple—I already know the doctor is not a good person, so I can skip the initial investigation!"
"I don't need to investigate at all, and I won't get caught on camera in the hospital or be listed as a suspect!"
"I even know how to avoid the same low-level mistakes!"
"At the very least, I won't leave my fingerprints at the crime scene!"
There was a gleam of excitement in Arthur's eyes. He felt that things were becoming more and more interesting. Although he wasn't a top professional assassin, with the system's infinite deduction, he was confident he could handle it seamlessly!
[Replay...]
[Based on the player's current thinking, the deduction is being restarted!]
[The deduction speed will be automatically adjusted for you!]
[Text commentary:] You calmly confirmed your target character (NPC) and started scouting the area to find a crime spot that perfectly avoids the cameras!
[Text commentary:] You spent three days secretly recording the positions of all the cameras around the hospital!
"Wait!"
A smirk appeared on Arthur's face. During this investigation, he noticed an excellent opportunity to strike.
At 1:23 am the next day, the target would go downstairs to a nearby 24-hour convenience store to buy cigarettes due to his smoking addiction!
At that hour, there would be few people on the road, and many opportunities to strike!
[End the deduction!]
[Restart the deduction!]
[Text commentary:] You have restarted the deduction. This time, you've learned the future actions of the target character (NPC) over the next three days. For this, you've carefully prepared the tools to commit the crime...
[Text commentary:] At midnight the next day, you waited on the street where the target character (NPC) must pass, wearing a large black trench coat, a mask, and hiding the dagger in your sleeve, waiting for the target!
[Text commentary:] At 1:23 am, you waited for the target (NPC).
You approached the target under the pretense of asking for directions.
Finally, you stabbed the target three times in quick succession.
After killing the target, you dragged the body into the bushes and left the scene quickly!
Arthur nodded with satisfaction after a few simple deductions.
He was beginning to see the shadow of an assassin in himself.
What followed was endless deductions.
[Re-deduction, the fourth deduction...]
[…]
[Text commentary:] You killed the target, hid the body at the crime scene, and left early the next morning, perfectly avoiding all the nearby surveillance cameras!
[…]
[Text commentary:] However, your skin tissue was caught under the deceased's nails during the struggle, and your DNA was found, listing you as a suspect...
[Text commentary:] After a few days on the run, you were arrested by the police in a nearby town!
Arthur was a little frustrated, murmuring, "Damn, let's do it again!"
He realized that while killing the target was easy, escaping the police was quite difficult.
No wonder people say the law is inescapable!
Even with "infinite deduction" and the ability to avoid mistakes time and time again, he still ended up making a mistake if he wasn't careful!
[Re-deduction, the fifth deduction...]
[…]
[Re-deduction, the seventh deduction...]
[…]
[…]
[Re-deduction, the twentieth deduction...]
[…]
[Re-deduction, the seventy-sixth deduction...]
In the end, Arthur was completely frustrated and couldn't help cursing: "This is too hard!"
"Why does this doctor have such a deep network? Damn it!"
"They actually hired a professional investigation team and a senior criminal detective to analyze the case, which led to me being arrested dozens of times!"
He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
It took him more than a dozen replays to erase the traces of his previous crimes.
But after the professional team got involved, the trick he thought was foolproof suddenly had a massive loophole.
Because of this.
He repeated the process over and over again, making progress each time, but ultimately, he still couldn't escape the law!
Arthur took a drag on his cigarette, murmuring with a solemn expression: "No, I need to change my approach. I can't keep doing it like this!"
"Is there any other way that doesn't require me to do it myself?"
Suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind.
In one of the dozens of deductions, he was almost killed by a large truck while trying to escape.
Arthur's mind started racing. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "I've got it!"
"I know how to do it!"
"I don't need to do it myself. Why should I buy knives, hide, or make it mysterious?"
"I can create an accident and make this guy die accidentally."
"There's no need to prepare any tools for the crime, and no need to plan an escape route."
"What I need to do is to plan a seemingly accidental accident, which is actually the result of countless deductions, and then use this accident to make sure this morally corrupt guy is punished by fate!"
Arthur suddenly felt like he had opened up a new world, and he was so excited because this direction was perfect!
He even thought of a name for his accidental hunting technique!
"Why not call it—The Accidental Formula?"
