The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 53: March 4, 1458

  "Recently, Mr. Amos Morrison, a famous artist and painter in Frozen Water Harbor, was arrested by the security guard for consecutive homicides.

"According to an anonymous letter, it was reported that there were a large number of corpses hidden in the gallery of His Excellency Amos Morrison. Although the sheriff His Excellency Hiram thought this might be a prank, our respectable Sergeant Hiram still With the help of his own security police and many relevant industry insiders, he conducted a raid on Morrison Gallery last night."

…what?

   Gallery?

  Annan saw this, thoughtful.

   He looked up and saw that this newspaper was called "Recent Events in Beihai", which seemed to be a monthly newspaper.

   After writing down the name, Annan carefully unfolded the already somewhat brittle newspaper and looked down carefully:

"Earlier, His Excellency Amos Morrison reported to the frozen water port police station, claiming that his daughter Ile Morrison was missing inexplicably. Because of the outstanding creation of Mr. Amos, this was caused beforehand. There was an uproar.

"Our beloved Viscount Alvin Barber and the Honorable Earl Gerante also once questioned this matter. The Frozenwater Port Police Department, together with the security guards of Roseburg, Baidi, and Gaoyabao, jointly handled the case and recruited them. A number of well-known detectives and seeking assistance from relevant industry insiders have yet to discover the whereabouts of Ile Morrison.

  "This incident was once introduced to the capital as a case proving the weakness of the North Sea territorial law and order. Count Gerant severely criticized the incident, and the former Chief of the Frozenwater Port Police, Job Boluo, was also demoted because of the unfavorable handling of the case.

"At 2:15 on March 4, Sergeant Hiram's investigative team was attacked in the Morrison Gallery. Three police officers died unfortunately, and the two police officers also suffered a huge mental shock due to the cruel scenes. He went mad on the spot and died from his injuries a few days later.

  "The attacker was shot dead on the spot, and the body was recovered by the police station. The identity is reported to be a mercenary from Zedi. More details, including the number of attackers, are still under confidentiality.

"According to the testimony of a drinker who just left the rotten fish bar, he heard a huge roar at about 2:30 in the morning. After he rushed to the Morrison Gallery, he found that the police officers were talking with a'whole body burning.' He was stunned by the colorful giant ball of flames, and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the colorful ball of flesh, and was then knocked out from behind.

"Later, Sergeant Hiram found multiple body fragments of Elle Morrison in the Morrison Gallery. They were hidden inside the frame and sniffed out by police dogs—and before that, Morrison Gallery Pets have always been forbidden.

"Irele Morrison was originally called Elle Buckle. When she was seven, her biological father died, and her mother Clara Buckle remarried to Amos Morrison, who was five years younger than herself. Ai Lei also changed her surname to Morrison at this time.

"When she was fourteen years old, her mother Clara died of illness for unknown reasons. In the basement of the Morrison Gallery, a six-month-old stillbirth that had just been made into a specimen was found, and relevant industry insiders confirmed that its mother was working. It’s Elle Morrison, and its father is Amos Morrison. We have reason to suspect that there is an improper and unhealthy relationship between them."

   Below here, "Note: This specimen has been recovered by the relevant department" in a line of small letters.

  ...Six month old stillbirth?

  Annan paused.

   If I say that the year when Iray died and Amos was arrested, it was the second year of the nightmare...

   He roughly calculated it. The month Ai Lei was pregnant... was almost the month of Amos's second plot ceremony.

  Annan suddenly felt a horror behind him.

   But he didn't realize where this uneasy feeling came from.

   He continued to look down:

  " The body of Ile Morrison was confirmed by the police from relevant industry insiders that he died half a month ago, ten days after Mr. Amos Morrison reported the case.

"In addition, in the underground warehouse of the Morrison Gallery, a number of corpses were also found, most of them were vagrants, but also the famous art critic Absolen Flagg. He was formerly Morrison. He was a critic of the painting, but he became a fanatical supporter of Morrison six months ago. Three months ago, he went to Frozen Water Harbor to participate in Mr. Morrison's painting exhibition, but disappeared midway.

   "We have reason to suspect that he was killed by Amos. His Excellency Amos confessed to this fact."

  " When asked about other details in the gallery and the so-called colorful meatball, the sheriff Hiram said:

"'Undoubtedly, the mercenaries from Zedi were fighting with us. All the police officers on the scene can attest to this. The reason for the appearance of such abstract monsters on the scene can only be the effect of alcohol. What happened in the gallery We have nothing to comment on other matters related to confidentiality regulations. But Mr. reporter, I sincerely tell you that you did not show up at the scene, which is really a great blessing. I think anyone with a conscience and sound morals Everyone will cry for the tragedy in the basement.'

   "At present, the Morrison Gallery has been blocked by the Security Guard, and the persons involved in the case are being interrogated one after another. Your Excellency Morrison is under strict imprisonment control. It is reported that Lord Morrison intends to demolish the Morrison Gallery in the near future."

  ...Is this the end of Amos.

   Annan wrote down all the other contents of the newspaper in the same period, and then slowly closed the newspaper back.

  Earl Gerante...

   Forty-five years ago, who was Gerante?

   Don Juan’s father, or his grandfather?

  Also, is the Viscount of Roseburg mentioned in the nightmare really Alvin Barber?

   and Elei’s previous surname, "Buckel".

   If Annan remembers correctly, in the cutscene CG of Nightmare, Amos is yelling "Don't...Buckel..."

   Who is he talking to?

   Annan vaguely realized that it seems that these old things are not completely connected. It is even possible that the Frozen Water Port has been abandoned decades ago, perhaps not just because of the prohibition of trade and exports with the Duchy of Winter.

   Then, Don Juan came to this land...maybe more than simply because of "persecution in the royal capital".

   "Forty-five years ago..."

   Annan murmured.

   He silently wrote down the number.

   Anyway, something must have happened forty-five years ago.

"how is it?"

   Salvatore watched Annan looking solemnly at the newspaper, and couldn't help asking: "Are there any gains?"

   "Yes. Do you still have the newspaper this year?"

   Annan replied immediately: "There are still the previous year's, I want to."

   The current time is December 1503 in the new calendar. The last month of the year protected by the cold-blooded lady and harsh old grandmother will be 1504 soon.

   Then forty-five years ago, it was 1458.

  Something must have happened at this time...

   "Such old newspapers are not easy to find, and their circulation is small."

   Salvatore scratched his head in confusion: "I only brought the Gerant family and news-related newspapers from the Black Tower this time...mainly for fear of taboos. I may not be able to find all of them, I will try my best..."

   "Thank you, senior."

  Annan nodded.

   It's better to let Salvatore help in the investigation than to run into a headless fly.

   is another question, and Annan needs to deal with it personally now...

   "My guards, how is the situation now?"
