Gu Yi wanted to save the file, but received a reminder that he was in battle, so he could only bite the bullet and continue searching in the office.
He found the "caterpillar" here last time, and there may be clues here.
The clock in the office rotates minute by minute, and the "tick" sound made by the second hand is eerie in the silent night.
"Gah!"
The crow sounded.
Gu Yi trembled all over and turned his head suddenly to look.
The crow condensed into a humanoid monster, holding a fire ax in its hand and walking towards him with a grin.
"go!"
Gu Yi summoned his crow and flew towards the enemy.
The monster swung the ax and easily split Gu Yi's crow into two pieces.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Yi raised his gun with both hands, pointed at the monster and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
Three bullets dispersed the monster, and crows flew all over the sky, dropping countless black feathers and covering the floor of the office.
Gu Yi turned around and walked towards the back door. As soon as he put his hand on the handle, a crack was made in the door panel by another axe.
The monster didn't know when it got behind the door, and smashed the door with its heavy shoulder.
Gu Yi retreated repeatedly, but fell into a soft embrace.
Turn around and look.
Three or four monsters were looking at Gu Yi with smiles. Each of them was two meters tall. Even without weapons, they could touch and hurt Gu Yi normally.
"Gah..."
The monsters dragged Gu Yi and threw him out of the window like a sandbag.
The whistling wind sounded in Gu Yi's ears, and he saw the ground getting closer and closer to him.
Gu Yi's eyes were blood red...
…
"Read the file."
Gu Yi read the file and returned to his father's study. This time he was not in a hurry to go to his mother's office building to look for clues. Instead, he calmed down and thought about what he had gained during this period and the unanswered puzzles.
"It takes too much time to go to my mother's office. Even if there is something in the office, I don't have enough time to search for it. With my current strength, I can't fight the monster at all. Don't waste time going to the office to try and make mistakes." ,Pointless."
Gu Yi took out a pen and paper and wrote down the six questions that came to mind at the beginning.
Mom's key.
Dad's room.
These two problems have been solved. Although I haven't figured out the function of my mother's key, I at least have an idea for solving the problem.
Dad's room is a restricted area at home, but now he has entered the room and obtained a revolver for self-defense.
Monster secrets.
Now, there are no unsolved parts of the monster's abilities. The reason why the system does not recognize the monster's secret is probably because it has not found the key Flag.
Just like the Black Crow's underground altar, the monster's secret also has a trigger event, but I haven't found it yet.
Gu Yi drew three circles on the paper and wrote three groups of words inside.
parents.
crow.
Own.
The first two clues have intersected, but the third one still has not made any progress.
"The above questions are what I have been exploring and pursuing, but now the first two clues have reached a dead end, and I need to find another direction that can open up the situation."
Gu Yi moved his eyes to the third circle - "self".
"This is the so-called darkness under the lamp. My attention has always been on my mother and the crow, and my curiosity has been on my father's study, but I have never investigated my own affairs. First, let's investigate the graffiti. It’s something about that.”
Gu Yi left the study and walked into the living room with his cell phone.
Last time, Gu Yi discovered that "he" had graffiti on the wall of the living room. At that time, his attention was always on the keys, so he did not dig deeply for clues about the graffiti.
Gu Yi found the toolbox stored in the basement, took out a small shovel, jumped on the TV cabinet and started shoveling on the wall.
The newly painted wall was not thick, and in less than three minutes, Gu Yi shoveled out the graffiti on the wall.
The graffiti is a series of meaningless circles arranged in a row, like an endless caterpillar.
Gu Yi followed the direction of the caterpillar and kept shoveling until he finally found the end.
The caterpillar has a human face on its head, but its facial features are composed of "circles" and "crosses", which makes it look a bit abstract.
Gu Yi touched the graffiti gently and murmured in a low voice:
"It turns out that I have seen this kind of caterpillar for a long time, not just in the office. Therefore, my idea just now was wrong from the beginning. I should not go to the office to look for things."
Gu Yi jumped off the TV cabinet and ran to his room again. He put the phone holder aside and searched the room carefully.
First is the school bag.
There are only three sets of "Happy Summer Vacation" books in the schoolbag, which show that Gu Yi is only in the third grade, which corresponds to the number of words Gu Yi can read.
In addition, there is a diary.
"Finally found something useful."
Gu Yi quickly opened the diary and checked it. The dates in the diary were not consecutive. Gu Yi only found a few meaningful diaries.
[My mother didn’t let me draw, so I had to hide all the paintings in a place that my mother would never think of. She certainly wouldn't know. 】
[I saw crows and they wanted to kill me, but my mother said there were no crows. As long as I don't look at them, they can't see me. 】
[It’s not that I don’t see crows, but the crows themselves appear in front of me. 】
[I don’t know what to say, it’s so difficult. 】
There are only so many suspicious sentences in the diary, and the rest are all about the hero's joyful mood when collecting cards.
It seems that apart from collecting cards, the role I play only enjoys painting.
"Children of this age are indeed more inclined to express their emotions through drawing. And didn't my mother say? Let me draw on paper instead of on the wall. This also echoes the content in the diary. , but...where will I hide all those paintings?"
Thinking of this, Gu Yi started to rummage through the boxes again.
My mother is a mysophobic woman, and all the rooms are neatly tidied and spotless.
"If I were a child, where would I hide my stuff?"
Under the pillow.
In the mattress.
Behind the cabinet.
Gu Yi looked through all the places he could, but in the end he couldn't find any useful clues.
"well……"
Gu Yi lay under the bed and thought carefully.
Is there any place that my mother will never look at?
"Is it dad's bookshelf?"
Gu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he rushed out of his room as fast as he could.
My father's bookshelf was full of dust, but my mother didn't dare to touch it when she was cleaning it. Because Gu Yi couldn't understand the books on the bookshelf, he only searched them half-heartedly.
So, he must have missed something crucial.
