There is a reading comprehension article in the textbook titled "Hey - Come Out", which is a short science fiction novel written by Xin Xinyi.
Gu Yi knew nothing about this name, but this text reminded him of the locksmith boss - he was also named Shinichi.
"You put this topic aside for now, I'll be here later."
"Ah? Wait..."
Gu Yi left his friend with a confused look on his face and quickly came to the store where Xinyi unlocked the door. He took a deep breath, walked to the boss's side, and slapped the keys in his hand on the table.
"Boss, is your name Xin Xinyi?"
"Xin Xinyi? I don't believe Xin. My surname is Liu."
"Am I wrong?"
Gu Yi thought for a moment.
My father has been urging me to write my summer homework, and my friends have been talking about their summer homework, and today the name "Xinyi" appeared in the summer homework book.
There are various signs that "Xinyi Unlocking" is where the plot clues point to.
There must be something that I haven't figured out yet.
Gu Yi turned around and looked at the store.
Not only are there tools for matching keys, but they also sell locks. A bold idea flashed through Gu Yi's mind.
"Boss, I have a request. Can you match this key with a lock?"
Gu Yi took out his copper key and looked at the boss with a smile.
The boss was stunned for a long time before he said, "I've seen people match a key to a lock, but I've never seen people match a lock to a key."
"Can you do it?"
"Can it be possible..."
"Money is not an issue, tell me how long it will take to complete it."
"It will probably take a day."
"I want it tonight."
After speaking, Gu Yi took out all the cash in his pocket and placed it on the boss's desk.
The boss was amazed and took half of the cash on the table, "Okay, just wait here."
"good."
Gu Yi sat on his seat and looked at his boss.
The boss closed the door of the shop and started working. Through Caiyu Crow's vision, Gu Yi discovered that the boss's body was actually wrapped in strange energy.
it's dark.
Gu Yi felt hairy all over his body, always feeling that something terrible was always watching him in the darkness.
He controlled the colorful feather crow to look towards the darkness.
It turns out that the boss has a strange thing in his house. It was an iron felt with four limbs, lying at the boss's feet like a puppy.
"The lock you asked for is ready. The time you gave me was too short, so I can only do it like this."
"Thanks."
Gu Yi took the old-fashioned padlock from the boss's hand.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to order such a padlock so quickly, and the reason why the boss can be so quick is definitely due to the iron felt monster.
"It's dark outside, aren't your parents worried? Do you want me to take you back?"
"if you are free……"
"Well, I'll take you back."
The boss drove his car and prepared to take Gu Yi home.
Gu Yi put the car in gear before getting in the car, then got in the car and walked towards home. Gu Yi's cell phone contained several missed calls from his parents, as well as messages and missed calls from his friends.
He did not reply to his parents, but checked the messages of his friends one by one.
As he expected, none of these children found the door lock corresponding to the key, and he had no intention of disbanding his team.
The car passed by a small park that Gu Yi often went to. Seeing no one around, Gu Yi picked up the padlock in his hand and inserted the copper key into it.
Click——
The key was inserted into the keyhole perfectly, Gu Yi gently turned the padlock, and everything in front of him changed.
At this time, he found that he had fallen out of his boss's car, and the car was getting further and further away from him.
Everything around is only black, white and gray, except for one little boy who is in color.
"Hello!"
Gu Yi screamed loudly, trying to attract the attention of the people around him, but they couldn't hear or see him. He rushed over and pounced on the colorful little boy.
However, Gu Yi passed through the little boy's body. He was like a ghost in this world, unable to touch any objects at all.
Gu Yi quickly chased after him and walked around to the little boy.
This little boy had no facial features and acted rigidly like a puppet. He walked aimlessly on the street. After five minutes, he left the street and walked towards a large supermarket in the distance.
"This is the path I've taken."
Gu Yi whispered to himself.
This little boy is his own "ghost", retracing the path he took when he first entered the level.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yi immediately quickened his pace and arrived at a large supermarket in advance to wait.
After more than twenty minutes, Gu Yi finally saw the black crow.
In this world, he no longer has the head of a crow, but has the face of a father. He is following the little boy, silently waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Snapped!
Time stopped.
The crow grabbed the little boy and threw him into the fish tank, drowning him alive.
"Who are you?"
After the crow killed the little boy, it set its sights on Gu Yi. He shook off the water stains on his hands, walked up to Gu Yi and started attacking without saying a word.
Gu Yi covered his head and backed away repeatedly. He found that the father in this world was not very powerful. He waved his hand and summoned the black-feathered crow.
"Gah——"
Dad let out a scream like a crow, and then turned into black feathers all over the sky and disappeared into the air.
"Killed like this?"
Gu Yi looked at the crow in front of him in surprise, and the system notification sounded in his mind.
"Congratulations to the player for unlocking the ending - 'Assimilation'."
"You have unlocked 3 secrets."
"You have unlocked the ending (4/5)."
"Please enjoy the Easter egg at the end."
This time, Gu Yi, like the third ending, ends with a first-person experience.
At this time, he was lying on a hospital bed with countless tubes inserted into his body and his whole body was weak. Mother knelt before the high priest and cried uncontrollably.
"Master Priest, please save my child, we are willing to pay any price."
"You have nothing left to give. If your husband fails, your son will die. This is the inevitable outcome."
"No, the Lord can definitely save him. I know that the almighty God of Time can do anything!"
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"As long as the child lives, I can do anything."
"Okay, then what you have to pay this time is your life."
As soon as the priest finished speaking, my mother opened the window without thinking and jumped out headfirst. The priest nodded with satisfaction. He walked to Gu Yi and touched Gu Yi's eyes.
"You have a destiny with God. He has promised to make you his most trusted servant. This is your honor."
Gu Yi suddenly felt that his body became very light, as if his soul had left the body. He looked down at his body and found that he had turned into a black crow.
