Unable to scream.
Can't break free.
can not breath.
Gu Yi died again, and the system's beep sounded from then on.
"The character you played is dead."
"You haven't solved any secrets."
"You have not unlocked any endings."
Hearing this familiar system prompt, Gu Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, that's really interesting. The difficulty of this dungeon is to allow players to play the role of a helpless child and then strengthen the monsters, right?
Just looking at the size, that monster is far larger than an average adult. Even in the real world, I might not be able to compete with someone of this size.
What happens if I don't go home? Will that monster still find me and kill me again? What is this monster's weakness? Can you kill him?
I need to do a little more experimentation and summarize his full capabilities before I can continue exploring. "
Gu Yi touched his chin.
"Read the file."
Gu Yi activated his skills and returned to the beginning of the copy.
This time, he wanted to take two methods to deal with the monster.
The first is to avoid monsters.
The second type is to fight head-on.
If the first way doesn't work, then Gu Yi will have no choice but to face it head-on.
Gu Yi was wandering on the street, and the weird monster kept flashing in the dark corners from time to time. Moreover, the closer he got to his home position, the clearer the murmurs in his mind became.
He jogged all the way until he was about two kilometers away from the villa, and the murmur in his mind could no longer be heard.
"As expected." Gu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "But this map is really big. Isn't there an end?"
Gu Yi continued to move forward.
Ten minutes later, Gu Yi discovered something was wrong, because the surrounding street scenes were all repetitive.
Gu Yi didn't know if it was because the production team was being lazy and used the same modeling materials over and over again, or if the dungeon setting was just like that.
"It shouldn't be laziness. VR technology has become so advanced that if any production team dares to use repeated materials, they will definitely be criticized by players.
So, in fact, I am now like an ant trapped in a space cycle, unable to leave the villa for more than one kilometer.
Escape is impossible..."
Gu Yi was thinking silently, but those strange murmurs began to appear in his mind again. He turned around and saw a black feather suddenly appeared beside the trash can on the corner of the street.
"crow?"
Gu Yi raised his head.
Telephone poles, eaves, tree branches.
A large group of crows gathered from nowhere. They all tilted their necks and stared at him. Only then did Gu Yi remember that when he died for the second time, crow feathers did appear around him.
Could it be that the monster's body is a crow?
"Kill him...kill him...kill him..."
The babble in my mind was clearer than ever.
Gu Yi gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away.
"Help!"
Gu Yi screamed loudly to attract the attention of passers-by.
As expected, the shout had an effect, and the crows flying in the sky fled away and stopped chasing Gu Yi.
"Is it because there are so many people that he doesn't dare to attack?"
Gu Yi gasped and turned around and walked into a supermarket on the roadside.
From the beginning of the game to now, monsters have always appeared in places where there are no people. There are many people here, and if the monster is afraid of the crowd, it will never dare to attack here.
"Kill him...kill him...kill him..."
The murmuring sounded again.
Every time it sounded, Gu Yi would always find a black crow in various corners, and the murmur would sound every three minutes, and the frequency of the sound would also increase unknowingly.
"You definitely can't escape...you must find a way to kill it."
Gu Yi had basically determined the nature of the monster. He closed his eyes and thought silently in his heart.
"Read file 1."
"Failed to load file."
"Players are asked to disengage from the combat state."
Are you actually still in a fighting state?
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment and opened his eyes.
The movements of everyone around them were like slow motion shots in a movie. Soon they seemed to have pressed the pause button and stood motionless.
Thumping, fluttering—
An overwhelming crowd of crows descended from the sky, covering all the lights in the supermarket.
They gathered together and merged into the humanoid monster covered in black feathers.
"Gah——"
The monster let out a scream like a crow and rushed towards Gu Yi.
Gu Yi turned around and ran away, rushing into the fish market behind him.
The monster arrived quickly. He grabbed Gu Yi by the neck and pushed him upside down into the pool. The fish was frightened and swam around randomly in front of his eyes.
Gu Yi's eyes were filled with blood...
…
"The character you played is dead."
"You haven't solved any secrets."
"You have not unlocked any endings."
The system prompt sounds.
"Failed again, but it's not without gain. Load file 1."
Gu Yi was not frustrated by this, but calmed down and carefully summarized the characteristics of the monsters and the known dungeon settings.
1. The babble in the mind cannot be eliminated. The closer the player gets to the villa and the longer they play, the more babble will occur. The stronger the babble, the stronger the monster. Rumbling is not entirely a distraction in the game, it can also be used as a dangerous reminder that the monster is getting stronger.
2. The monster's body is a flock of crows. Once you encounter crows, you need to be vigilant.
3. When monsters kill people, they must stay away from people. Monsters only dare to kill people when no one is around.
4. It seems that monsters can only use tools to kill people, such as ropes, fish tanks, etc. This is doubtful, and can be verified in later games, and may be a breakthrough against monsters.
5. As time goes by, the monster's power will become stronger and stronger. After about thirty minutes, the monster can even pause time and kill people in full view of the public. If you want to kill the monster, you must achieve the goal within thirty minutes.
Gu Yi summarized it in his mind, but the system did not prompt him to unlock a certain secret, which meant that his summary just now was incomplete or inaccurate.
Gu Yi looked around, trying to find something that could be used as a weapon. It was only then that he thought of touching his pocket.
A handful of change, a pile of Ultraman cards, and there was actually a flash card among them.
"Adults don't like these things. I wonder if I can get some useful things from children?"
Gu Yi looked around and wandered around where children gathered nearby.
Some of them are playing football, some are playing on slides, and some are playing tops. The children playing tops have whips in their hands, but the whips are too thin and may not have any effect on people.
"Wow, what is this?"
"The slingshot was made by my grandfather."
"No matter how you play, I want to play too!"
"No, if you want to play, you can ask your parents to do it for you."
Gu Yi's eyes lit up and he looked in the direction of the sound.
A five- or six-year-old child held a slingshot in his hand and walked showily among the children.
"Hey, friend, can we chat?" Gu Yi took out Ultraman's flash card from his arms with a smile, "I want to exchange this flash card for the slingshot in your hand, is that okay?"
