Gu Yi read the file again and returned to the living room, listening to his mother scolding him.
This time, Gu Yi didn't talk back or explain. He silently accepted his mother's blame and handed over the slingshot in his hand.
When her mother saw that Gu Yi finally admitted his mistake, she let go of Gu Yi.
"Okay, just be good, I'm going to cook."
"I'm sorry, Mom."
"fine."
Mom shook her head, turned and walked into the kitchen.
Gu Yi glanced at his mother, ran upstairs, took out a pen and paper and began to summarize some of the doubtful points discovered in ending 1.
1. Why do you have visions of your own tragic death in your eyes?
2. Why did I obviously kill crows, but in ending 1, the corpses of those crows turned into the appearance of an unknown little boy?
3. What are the characteristics of crows that you haven’t fully summarized yet?
4. The last weapon the crow used was a pistol. Where did it come from?
5. Where is mom going when she goes out at night? The key she hid could open the lock somewhere?
6. What is in dad’s room?
"interesting."
Gu Yi did not shrink from the many problems, but began to think seriously.
"Questions 1 and 2 are related to me, questions 3 and 4 are related to crows, and questions 5 and 6 are related to parents. Currently, there are only these three forces in this copy. .”
Gu Yi drew three circles on the draft paper and wrote "I", "Parents" and "Crow" in the three circles.
“Let’s look at and analyze me first.
Mental illness is the simplest and crudest explanation for all puzzles, but the system prompts mentioned that this ending is a bad ending.
Therefore, there must be other secrets hidden in me. Could those illusions be...my powers?
Since I can accept weird creatures like crows, why can't I accept that I am also a child with supernatural powers?
Hang.
Killed.
Hack and slash.
The three illusions of death correspond to the three killing tools used by Crow - hemp rope, pistol and boning knife.
Could it be that my power can predict the future?
No, before I saw myself hanging, I saw a crow, so it couldn't be a vision of the future. So what exactly is my power?
There are too few conditions to be certain.
My powers may be one of the keys to solving the mystery. If I could freely master my powers, I might be able to kill that smelly bird.
Of course, I cannot deny another possibility, which is that the vision I saw was the influence of the crow on me.
As for why the crow I chopped to death turned into an unrecognizable little boy... I have no clue at all.
The only thing that's certain is that if I kill the crow using conventional means, it will only lead to a bad ending where I trigger 'psychosis'.
Forget it, let’s not think about this for now. "
Gu Yi looked at the second circle - the crow.
“About crows, there are two characteristics that I am now 100% sure of.
1. It must kill when no one is around.
2. It must use a weapon to kill.
However, the eyewitness aspect requires additional explanation.
If there are strangers or neighbors around, the crow can kill me as long as I and the crow are out of their sighting range.
However, if my mother is around me, even if she cannot see me, the crow will not do anything. So, as long as I stay with my mother, I am 100% safe.
Secondly, I cannot leave the villa too far. As long as I leave more than one kilometer, the crow will turn into an invincible monster and I will definitely die.
If I wanted to leave the villa and explore, I had to do so under my mother's protection.
In addition, when I fell asleep for the first time and opened my eyes and saw the crow, the crow was also sleeping. Maybe there is a certain correlation between the crow's mobility and my state. As long as I fall asleep, the crow will also fall asleep.
I can try this out later. If I sleep peacefully, I won't be attacked by crows again.
As for...
Why did Crow use a pistol that night?
Haha, no need to say more.
This gun was found in this villa, but I did not find such a terrifying weapon when I was exploring before. The only place in the villa that I have not been to is my father's study.
The pistol... belongs to Dad. "
Gu Yi's eyes lit up and he moved his gaze to the third circle - his parents.
“Both dad and mom, they have a lot of secrets.
The origin of the crow is too strange to investigate. I can only summarize its characteristics bit by bit through the SL method and by filling in my life.
As for dad...
The social background of this copy should be designed based on the background of our country. Gun control here is very strict and it is impossible for ordinary people to own handguns.
The only people who can legally use guns are policemen or soldiers. With the salaries of these two people, it is impossible for them to live such a comfortable life, and they cannot easily hide guns at home.
I live in a villa and my mother doesn't have to go to work. This only means that my father is responsible for making money, and he makes a lot of money.
He has a gun, makes a lot of money, and yet he doesn't allow me to enter his study? Then I can only reasonably suspect that dad is a killer, a mercenary leader, or a gang leader.
At present, it seems that my mother is the only normal person among the three camps, and she is also the easiest candidate for me to investigate.
This is the only thread that has fallen out of the mess.
My first task was to find out where my mother was going at night and... what the key she hid in the house was for. "
Dong dong dong——
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Gu Yi was so excited that he quickly balled up the scrap paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"The meal is ready, come down and eat."
"Okay mom."
Gu Yi returned downstairs and had dinner with his mother, acting like a loving mother and a filial son. Gu Yi rolled his eyes and asked proactively:
"Mom, what do you do when you go out every night?"
"Huh?" Mom was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "What do you think?"
"I do not know."
"Silly boy, mommy has to go out to work."
"But you didn't go out to work at night before."
Gu Yi started talking nonsense. He didn't know when his mother worked before. However, he didn't care about this. Even if he made a mistake, he could load the file and start over.
"Haha..." Mom covered her mouth and laughed, "You, you know how to play every day, don't you know that Mom has changed jobs recently? I have to work outside from eight to twelve every night. "
"What kind of job is it?"
"Help my friend, she has opened a new company."
"What company is open at night?"
"You don't understand even if I say it."
Mom didn't seem to want to continue this topic. She picked up the bowl and continued eating.
no.
You have to find a way to figure it out.
Gu Yi refused to give up and continued to ask, "Mom, if you tell me, won't I know?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"The school requires us to write an essay, and the topic is my mother. I don't even know what my mother does for a living, so how can I write an essay?"
Gu Yi pouted, looking aggrieved.
Mom looked at Gu Yi's look and her heart softened, "Okay, then I'll take you to see it during the day tomorrow."
"Why during the day? Why not at night?"
"Because you have to sleep at night, and I am too busy at work at night. It is impossible for my friends to let me bring a child there to cause trouble. Eat quickly and don't worry about these problems."
