After a simple breakfast, Su Yi proposed to go out for a walk and refused to be accompanied by his servant.
The weather is pretty good, but the atmosphere is very weird.
I didn't see many people along the way, but when I met them occasionally, I would raise a stiff smile and salute hurriedly, and then hurried away.
Fortunately for Toka, all the "people" she saw before the time expired were all exuding cold black energy, their faces were deathly white, and their eyes were as dark as thick ink.
But Su Yi acted as if he hadn't seen anything. He looked calm and calm. However -
...Tsk, I'm scared to death!
However, she heard a familiar mechanical sound the next second.
[Side Mission 1 - Players are asked to find the antidote within fifteen minutes. Mission rewards will be given after successfully completing the level. 】
[Ghosts will randomly enter three times during the period. Players are advised not to be seen by it and avoid it. 】
Oh haha.
Then the garden became a study.
Fine.
Su Yi took a look at the structure of the study.
Opposite the door are two chairs. There is a gray blanket on the ground. On the far left is a desk and chairs. To the left of the desk is a large cabinet. On the right is a bookshelf. To the right of the door is an opaque vertical screen. Su Yi I guess there should be a bed over there.
Although the study room is small, there are many places Su Yi wants to find.
In addition to the antidote, there may be some other clues.
As soon as he took a step, the system sounded a beep.
[The ghost will enter the study in five seconds. Players are requested to avoid it immediately. 】
so fast? !
Su Yi's spirit immediately became tense.
The moment the system sound just fell, the room became dark, as if day suddenly turned into night, the furniture aged instantly, dust filled the entire space, and even the breath took on the unavoidable smell of decay.
[Three—two—one. 】
As soon as the countdown ended, the ghost looked at the expressionless Su Yi——
[The ghost sees the player and is about to enter the thirty-second rampage mode——]
Evil game system reminder.
The ghost's body was covered with wounds, its face was bloody, its white clothes were soaked in blood, and it exuded a disgusting stench.
Then the next second, it teleported in front of her, grabbed it with one hand, and after Su Yi took two steps back reflexively, it split open the screen.
Su Yi's pupils trembled, and then——
Turn around and run!
"boom--"
The chair she held up to resist was smashed to pieces.
"Bah-"
She leaned on the wall and bent down suddenly, and the wall was scratched.
"boom!!!"
The desk was opened.
This attack method feels familiar.
Su Yi felt a chill on the back of her head, and quickly rolled on the ground, then rolled twice more and entered under the bed.
She was thinking just now, what does the system's explanation mean?
Therefore, she quickly recalled the system prompts in her mind and found two very important prompt words - see and avoid.
As long as you are seen, you must avoid it and never be aggressive.
On the other hand, if you can avoid being seen by her, you can meet the avoidance condition.
To put it bluntly, it means that physical attacks cannot be carried out.
Huh, is she such a rough person?
Su Yi pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, with a hint of reluctance in her round eyes.
...well, she is.
After two seconds, there was no movement outside, and then the system beeped.
[Thirty seconds have expired, players please continue to complete the task. 】
Su Yi crawled out from under the bed and patted the dust on his body.
Looking at the study room that had returned to its original state, she recalled the ghost's movements just now and found that it paused for two seconds every time it teleported. Adding in the previous time, she estimated that there would be about twelve minutes left.
Then she went over and opened all the cabinets one by one.
The first one is a pile of books, the second one is some papers and letters, and the big cabinet below is actually empty, and there is just enough room for an adult to hide in it.
Su Yi subconsciously felt something was wrong, but couldn't explain what he felt. He guessed that this might be a temporary refuge arranged by the system to prevent players from traveling around.
She returned her gaze to the first cabinet she opened.
The books were stacked neatly. Su Yi quickly took them out one by one and flipped through them. He found that there were some "irrelevant" things on them, so he stopped reading.
Then she opened the paper in another cabinet - it was a woman, and she was very beautiful.
Su Yi blinked in confusion, her almond-shaped eyes as pure as autumn water showing a bit of confusion.
Then she discovered that the other seven were all portraits of women.
She didn't know what was going on until she saw the rest of the letter.
It turns out that these women were all bought, and these letters were transaction records with human traffickers. There was a name in the signature - Gu Changze.
Su Yi took a deep breath and put the things away.
Corresponds to the initial prompt.
So...this NPC doesn't just buy people randomly, right? It must be based on some characteristics.
Su Yi's head was filled with questions, and after finding no other information, she turned around and started checking the desk.
There is a written letter on the desk, folded and placed on the table. Next to it is a brush and an inkstone filled with ink, and next to it are several rolled papers.
She reached for it and found that she couldn't pick it up. She touched other items and they still didn't move.
Is there no trigger condition or is it unnecessary?
Su Yi frowned, her bright and clear almond-shaped eyes were half confused and half solemn.
It's been three or four minutes now, and the ghost should be coming soon.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a prompt sounded from the system.
[The ghost will enter the study in five seconds, please avoid it immediately. 】
[Three—two—one. 】
The sound of the ghost opening the door overlapped with the sound of Su Yi closing the cabinet door.
The cabinet seemed to isolate all the sounds outside, and it was very quiet inside.
Suddenly, Su Yi felt dizzy. When she recovered again, she found that she was tied up.
Su Yi: "?"
Come again?
Before she could react, "she" began to struggle violently.
It seems that she should have reached that person and repeated what "she" had happened here.
The man seemed to have little strength, and his wrists and ankles were quickly worn out.
The most terrible thing was that she could feel tears still flowing on her face even though her eyes were tied.
Thinking of Su Yi from the last copy: "..."
Tsk.
"She" soon ran out of strength, and then she kept sobbing silently, making a faint sound.
After a while, the lock was opened.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat.
He actually has the key.
Light came in.
But at this time, her back was facing the cupboard door, so she couldn't see the visitor's face at all.
The man spoke with a faint smile in his voice: "Qiulan, you can come out now."
It's a man's voice.
Su Yi could feel the fear suddenly welling up in her heart, and then she felt dizzy. This time, she was huddled in the cabinet.
She put aside the information she had just received for the time being, thinking that the system had not yet issued a beep, indicating that the ghost had not left yet.
She didn't know how many minutes were left, but she still had nowhere to look.
[The ghost has left, please continue to complete the game. 】
As soon as the system finished speaking, Su Yi immediately opened the cabinet door, but was caught off guard and faced a bloody face, which disappeared in an instant.
Su Yi clenched her fists.
Damn, who are you scaring?
After removing the cabinet, Su Yi walked to the bookshelf.
There are many books in various genres, but I haven’t found anything useful.
Su Yi came to the screen again.
The bed is very simple, with only one pillow and a quilt.
After searching carefully, she still found nothing.
Su Yi frowned.
Hidden so deeply?
If we can't find it again this time and the ghost comes in for the third time, we don't know how many minutes it will take.
If you are more prudent, if you are seen by it and avoid his rampage mode, you can still buy some time.
I'm just afraid that this side quest will make me crazy.
To be on the safe side, she reached out and reached under the bed.
blocked.
Conjecture became reality.
I'm afraid the cabinet won't last long.
When Su Yi recalled what she had overlooked, the system spoke again.
[The ghost will enter the study in five seconds, please avoid it immediately. 】
[Three—two—one. 】
This time, Su Yi didn't hide and faced it directly.
[The ghost sees the player and is about to enter the thirty-second rampage mode——]
Just hold it for thirty seconds.
While Su Yi was thinking, he picked up the previously broken chair and banged it on the head.
The ghost was unharmed, but its movements were slowed down by a few seconds.
efficient--
Su Yi immediately turned around and threw all offensive objects at him.
Some are interference, some are attacks on the head, and every shot is accurate.
In the last ten seconds, a white cover actually appeared on the ghost, blocking the thing.
So Su Yi could only avoid its attack.
Fortunately, this ghost only has one attack method, otherwise with this fragile body, there would be no chance of counterattack.
Three seconds later, Su Yi was grabbed by the neck and fell to the ground.
The ghost's strength is very strong, and it is already slightly lacking in oxygen.
So Su Yi simply lay down, grabbed the ghost's hand with both hands and pulled it out.
Under the blanket, a hard object pressed against her head.
Su Yixin made a guess, and then rushed forward——
An indescribable feeling came over me instantly, as if I had hit a wall so hard that my head was about to explode.
The ghost's hand loosened, and Su Yi struggled and kicked it away.
[Thirty seconds have expired, players please continue to complete the task. 】
Su Yi touched the painful neck, lifted the gray blanket that was most easily ignored, and a small secret door appeared in front of her.
She reached out and opened it, feeling relieved. There was a white porcelain bottle inside.
[The mission is completed, congratulations to the player for getting the antidote, reward points: 30. 】
Wow, so stingy.
The next second, the scene changed back.
The sun was shining brightly above her head, but Su Yi couldn't feel the warmth at all.
After walking for a while, I finally saw someone in the pavilion by the lake.
Um?
Why are there so many people?
Su Yi calmly felt defensive in her heart.
