Angel? Devil?
I can't play hide-and-seek with the little girl.
At the same time, I can't refuse any request from the little girl?
What if the little girl asks me to play hide-and-seek with her?
After seeing the nanny handbook, Gu Yi immediately realized the trap in it.
It was obvious.
What he needs to do in this mission is to try his best not to let the little girl feel bored and not to let her ask to play hide-and-seek.
The bloody words on the back of the paper can no longer provide any information.
Gu Yi found that the bloody words found on the square in front of the hospital were all in this strange style, and it was impossible to believe.
Seeing Gu Yi falling into silence, the shop owner spoke up, "So, will you accept this mission or not?"
Isn't this point like an opportunity for him to save his progress?
Gu Yi didn't answer but closed his eyes and began to deduce.
(Deduction begins!)
(You accept the shop owner's task.)
(The shop owner sneers and hands the little girl in his arms to you.)
(The shop owner points to the backyard of the shop and asks you to accompany the little girl to play there.)
(You carry the little girl to the backyard.)
(The little girl points to the doll on the ground.)
(Little girl: Brother, play dolls with me.)
(You: Okay.)
(You think playing dolls won't be a problem.)
(You play house with the little girl holding the doll.)
(The little girl suddenly tilts her head and points to a tree, saying: Brother, I want you to get me the bird's nest on that tree.)
(You don't refuse and climb up immediately.)
(The little girl plays happily with the bird's nest in her arms.)
(The shop owner brings out a plate of stir-fried pork liver and places it in front of the little girl.)
(The little girl loves pork liver and finished it in just a few bites.)
(Little girl: Not enough to eat.)
(You: I'll call the shop owner to make another plate.)
(Little girl: No, I want to eat yours.)
(You: What?)
(Little girl: I want to eat your liver.)
(You shudder and sweat drip from your forehead.)
(Little girl: I want to eat your liver!)
(Dark shadows appear on the little girl's head, and her white teeth turn into crimson fangs.)
(Little girl: I want to eat your liver!)
(You: Impossible.)
(The little girl reaches into your stomach with her hand.)
(You see a blood-red scene before your eyes.)
(You died.)
(Deduction ends!)
Gu Yi returned to reality, a cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Just because she ate a plate of stir-fried pork liver, she wanted to eat human liver?
Who could bear it?
Gu Yi still didn't immediately agree to the shop owner's request but continued the deduction.
He had to find a perfect way to complete the task before he could accept the shop owner's request.
(Deduction begins!)
(You don't immediately agree to the shop owner's request.)
(You go to the kitchen and throw all the pork liver prepared by the shop owner into the trash can.)
(The shop owner is furious.)
(You take out the remaining two hundred yuan and ask the shop owner to buy other food, preferably vegetables.)
(The shop owner is puzzled but still did as you asked.)
(You breathe a sigh of relief, as long as you gave enough money, the shop owner can satisfy some of your small requests.)
(You officially accept the shop owner's task.)
(You walk with the little girl to the backyard.)
(You continue to play with dolls with the little girl.)
(The little girl gets tired of playing with dolls and points to a big tree, asking you to find a bird's nest for her.)
(You fulfill the little girl's request.)
(The owner of the shop fries a plate of vegetables and places it in front of the little girl.)
(The little girl takes a few bites but doesn't want to eat anymore.)
(Little girl: It's not tasty, throw it away!)
(You: Okay.)
(You pour the vegetables into the garbage can.)
(The shop owner scolds you: The little girl only likes to eat offal, she won't eat vegetables.)
(You ignore the owner.)
(You turn back and continue to play with the little girl.)
(Little girl: I want to ride a big horse, come over here and be my horse.)
(You lie down on the ground and carry the little girl on your back for a walk.)
(The little girl jumps off your back and picks up a stick, saying to you: You're a bad horse, I'm going to hit you.)
(You: Go ahead and hit me.)
(The little girl hit your face hard with the stick.)
(Your face is covered in blood and you almost faint from the pain.)
(A smell of barbecue come from outside the wall.)
(Little girl: I want to eat lamb kidneys.)
(You break out in a cold sweat.)
(You can't climb over the wall to buy the offal for the little girl, and you don't understand why there was someone selling offal in this remote area.)
(You: Sister, we can't leave the hospital. How about you change your request?)
(You try to negotiate with the little girl.)
(Little girl: No way! I want to eat lamb kidneys!)
(Black lines start appearing on the little girl's head, revealing her crimson teeth.)
(You know that if you don't satisfy this little girl before she says her request three times in a row, you will die.)
(You: Don't get upset. I'm not saying I won't satisfy you, but can we change it? Can you not eat lamb kidneys anymore? It's not good for you and can cause acne on your face.)
(The little girl touches her cheek and reverts back to her human form.)
(Little girl: Eating lamb kidneys causes acne?)
(You: Yes.)
(Little girl: Then I won't eat lamb kidneys.)
(You breathe a sigh of relief.)
(Little girl: I want to eat your kidneys.)
(You: What?)
(Little girl: I want to eat your kidneys!)
(You: Hold on, let's talk about it. I'm not refusing you, I just want to discuss it with you...)
(Little girl: Give me your kidneys!)
(The little girl transforms into a monster.)
(You end the deduction.)
Gu Yi's eyebrows furrowed and his body trembled uncontrollably.
In the last deduction, the little girl's form became even larger and her teeth became jagged like a shark.
Although both deductions ultimately failed, Gu Yi also concluded a few rules.
1. After the little girl makes a request, she will repeat it three times. If you don't agree by the third time, she will force you to "agree".
2. The little girl is not unconvincing. As long as you provide enough reasons, you can change her mind.
3. The little girl is really greedy. You must find a way to stop her from wanting to eat offal, otherwise, she will eat your internal organs if she doesn't get enough to eat.
Gu Yi closed his eyes tightly and entered the third deduction.
(Deduction begins!)
(You, like last time, go to the kitchen and put away all the internal organs, and ask the shop owner to wait at the door. If someone sells barbecue, buy as many lamb kidneys as possible.)
(The shop owner agrees.)
(You accept the task and take the little girl to play in the backyard.)
(Just like last time, the little girl points to the treetop.)
(Before the little girl could speak, you climb up the tree and take down the bird's nest.)
(You: You want to play with the bird's nest, right?)
(The little girl sniffs and points outside the wall.)
(Before she could speak again, the shop owner comes over with a string of lamb kidneys.)
(You take the lamb kidneys and hand them to the little girl: You want to eat lamb kidneys, right?)
(Little girl: How did you know?)
(You: Never mind that, just eat if you want to.)
(Little girl: You must have the ability to predict the future, right?)
(You: Not really, I just guessed that you like to eat lamb kidneys.)
(Little girl: So you have mind-reading abilities, right? Then tell me, what am I thinking right now? If you answer correctly, I'll give you a reward, but if you're wrong, I'll dig your brain out and put it in a hotpot.)
(You feel a chill down your spine.)
(Little girl: Hurry up and answer!)
(The girl begins to reveal her true colors.)
(You: Are you thinking about how to eat my brain?)
(Little girl: You guessed wrong!)
(The girl opens her mouth wide and bites towards your neck.)
(You stop the deduction!)
Damn it!
Too hasty!
Gu Yi shook his head. He didn't expect even after predicting the plot in advance. Not only did he fail to seize the opportunity, but he also ended up shooting himself in the foot.
No, this is not the correct way to clear the task.
Start over.
(Deduction begins!)
(You take the task, discard the offal in the kitchen, and arrange the shop owner to buy as many lamb kidneys as possible.)
(You take the little girl to play in the backyard.)
(You obey the little girl's every word.)
(The little girl is having a great time.)
(Little girl: I smell the aroma of barbecue. I want to eat lamb kidneys.)
(You: I'll get it for you right away.)
(You go to the door and receive the lamb kidneys from the shop owner.)
(You hand it to the little girl.)
(The little girl eats one after another, but can't eat anymore after two skewers.)
(Little girl: You can eat the rest.)
(You do as she says.)
(Little girl: It's so boring, why don't we play...)
(You: If you think it's boring, how about I do some magic tricks for you?)
(Little girl: Yes!)
(You perform a magic trick where you make your finger go through your ear, and the little girl gets excited and begs you to tell her the trick's secret.)
(You patiently explain it to her.)
(Little girl: I think doing magic tricks is boring, I still prefer playing hide and seek. Or else...)
(You shiver.)
(You: It's not boring, I'll show you a different magic trick.)
(You perform a trick where you elongate your finger.)
(The little girl seems uninterested.)
(Little girl: I've seen this trick before, it's not fun at all.)
(You: How about this one?)
(Little girl: Boring, not interesting! I don't want to see magic tricks, I want to play hide and seek!)
(You grit your teeth.)
(This is just the little girl's first request, you still have a chance to persuade her!)
(You: Hide and seek is too dangerous here, the patients have a lot of germs on them and they could infect you.)
(Little girl: No, my dad said their sicknesses won't infect us.)
(You: This place is too big, playing hide and seek is risky.)
(Little girl: Then we'll just limit ourselves to this backyard! We won't go to the square outside.)
(You: But this area is too narrow...)
(Little girl: Are you making excuses because you don't want to play with me? Are you rejecting me?)
(You: No, I'm just discussing with you.)
(Little girl: Play hide and seek with me, play hide and seek with me!)
(She asks three times in a row.)
(You don't agree.)
(The little girl turns into a monster and swings her claws, chopping off your head.)
(You die.)
(The deduction ends!)
Fourth deduction.
Still ended in failure!
Gu Yi took a deep breath and started to deduce again.
(Deduction begins!)
(You suspect that there may be false rules in the nanny handbook.)
(You have already proven that refusing the little girl will definitely result in a gruesome death.)
(Not only that, no matter how you satisfy the little girl's requests, she will still eventually ask to play hide and seek.)
(Hide and seek is unavoidable.)
(There cannot be a chess game in this strange world that leads to inevitable death. There must be a way to safely pass through.)
(With the experience of the previous four attempts, you flawlessly completed all of the little girl's requests.)
(The little girl looks at you and shows an innocent smile.)
(Little girl: Let's play a game, how about playing hide and seek?)
(You: Okay.)
(You nod helplessly. If you refuse, you will die immediately. Perhaps playing hide and seek may offer a glimmer of hope?)
(Little girl: Great, then you be the ghost who hides, okay?)
(You: Okay.)
(Little girl: Then you quickly hide, I'll count to one hundred, and then come find you.)
(The little girl grins.)
(You nod and find a place to hide.)
(Suddenly, you feel a chill run through your body, like falling into an ice cave.)
(Everything around you turns transparent.)
(You turn around and find that your body was lying on the ground.)
(You have really become a "ghost"!)
(You died.)
(Deduction ends!)
Gu Yi was sweating profusely.
He kept silently repeating "deduction begins" in his mind, but nothing happened.
Gu Yi felt a headache, the result of mental exhaustion.
He opened his eyes and cold sweat soaked his back.
He had exhausted all five deductions and still could not come up with a perfect solution!
Am I...
Am I really going to die here?
Gu Yi was lost in thought while holding the nanny handbook in his hand.
The store owner was getting impatient and knocked on the table, asking loudly, "Hey, what are you doing? Are you going to take this task or not?"
Gu Yi pondered for a moment.
"If I come back tomorrow, can I still take this task?"
"Huh? What are you thinking about?" the shop owner said. "She's going home tomorrow."
"Then can I come back in an hour?"
"I'm super busy right now, that's why I need you to help me with the child. What do I need you to do with the child in an hour when I'm done with my work?"
Gu Yi sighed helplessly.
He couldn't delay any longer and needed to regain his mental strength.
If he wanted to get the live toad, he had to complete the shop owner's task now.
The toad might be the only clue to defeating the spider in Room 0.
Only by killing the spider, he can successfully enter Level -1 (basement) of the hospital without using the access card.
Dealing with this little demon was a hurdle that he would never be able to overcome!
"Hey, are you taking it or not? Forget it if you're not!"
"I'll take it. I'll take this task," Gu Yi gritted his teeth and nodded.
He couldn't rely solely on his own abilities.
Sometimes, he had to face difficulties head-on!
The little girl blinked at Gu Yi and showed an innocent smile. She opened her arms and said in a childish voice,
"Big brother, will you play games with me? The shop owner uncle can't play with me, only you can."
The little girl blinked her big innocent eyes, looking at him.
However, who would have thought that the true identity of this little girl was a bloodthirsty cannibal.
"Okay, I'll play with you."
Gu Yi led the little girl to the backyard.
The little girl pulled Gu Yi to sit at a small table and handed her a doll.
"Let's play house, who do you want to play?"
"I'll play the big brother."
"Then I'll be the mommy."
Gu Yi awkwardly smiled, not objecting to the little girl's request.
The little girl pretended to cook in the air and was amused.
Gu Yi, however, was not focused, and his mind repeatedly pondered every detail of the previous deduction.
But no matter how he thought, the ending was the same.
-Death!
He can't play hide-and-seek with the little girl.
He can't refuse the little girl's request.
Both rules were true.
So, as long as the little girl asked to play hide-and-seek, he was certain to die.
"Son, dinner is ready, call sister to come eat."
"Okay."
Gu Yi nodded and held the doll, sitting at the dining table.
The little girl held a plastic bowl with a leaf in it, "This is your food, you must have a balanced diet when eating."
"But this is a leaf..."
"What leaf? These are green vegetables!" The little girl put her hands on her hips, "Do you even know how to play house?"
"Oh, sorry, sorry."
Gu Yi waved his hand to appease the little girl's emotions.
He cooperated with the little girl's request and pretended that the stuff in the bowl was green vegetables.
Gu Yi suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
He suddenly realized a hint that he had been ignoring.
-The bloody words behind the note.
...
In the real world.
On the screen, Gu Yi stood in front of the shop owner and received a task.
The audience was talking about it, and no one knew why Gu Yi had come here specifically.
"What does this mean? Why can't I understand what Master Yi is doing?"
"I always feel that Master Yi's thinking is ahead of us by several centuries. Did he obtain any clues that we don't know about?"
"Master Yi's current behavior must have deep meaning!"
The strategy group was different from the general public. They stared at the live broadcast screen from morning to night.
Last night, Gu Yi had been sleeping in the ward and didn't go anywhere.
But as soon as it was free time today, Gu Yi came purposefully to the shop on the square, which was really unusual.
"It can be determined now that Gu Yi must have unlocked a cognitive talent, and it is likely to be the kind of ability that can predict or discover hidden clues."
"It's so amazing."
"It must be an SSS-level talent ability, right?"
"The people of the Lighthouse Country have always said that strength-type talents are the way to go, but Gu Yi's appearance tells us that cognitive-type talents are the strongest.
In this decryption-type dungeon, strength is useless no matter how strong one is.
Gu Yi must have discovered some hidden clues, and he wants to achieve the perfect level clearance!"
When the team leader said this, everyone was shocked.
If Gu Yi can achieve a perfect level of clearance, then in the real world, all the strange and unspeakable things that have run out of the Chongshan Hospital will automatically disappear.
-He really is a savior!
Soon, Gu Yi picked up the "Nanny handbook" and resolutely accepted the task.
The people in the strategy group saw the inevitable death flag on the rules at first glance.
"So, the key to this task is to not let the little girl ask to play hide-and-seek?"
"It's not that simple. What if the little girl asks you to commit suicide?"
"A normal person wouldn't suddenly say something like that, right?"
"And there's the red writing on the back of the note. It's too unsettling."
"Leader, I think we shouldn't look at the red writing. It could lead us astray. All the red writing found in the square has had illogical and messy handwriting, so..."
[Brother, I want to eat your liver!]
On the screen, the little girl suddenly said something that made everyone's hair stand on end.
No one had the mood to discuss strategies anymore. Everyone's gaze was focused on Gu Yi.
"Is she crazy?"
"Shouldn't he try to negotiate with her?"
"Damn it..."
Suddenly, the little girl opened her mouth wide, revealing countless sharp teeth.
The strategy team urgently cut off the signal, so as not to show any bloody scenes to the audience.
The barrage was filled with question marks.
This time, even the strategy team leader couldn't bear to look at the screen.
"Leader, Gu Yi..."
"Don't say it, quickly figure out how we can deal with the weirdness in reality."
"No, Gu Yi, he's not dead!"
"What?"
The leader was stunned for a moment and looked back at the screen.
The little girl opened her mouth wide and pretended to take a bite out of Gu Yi's stomach.
Gu Yi cooperated by rolling his eyes and lying on the ground playing dead.
"This... this really works?"
The members of the strategy group watched the screen in amazement, their mouths agape.
...
In the Weird World.
In the backyard of the small shop on the square.
"Big brother, I want to eat your liver!"
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Gu Yi opened his arms and smiled at the little girl.
The little girl grinned and turned into a monster, charging at Gu Yi.
But Gu Yi didn't dodge or avoid, instead he opened his arms and welcomed her.
The little girl pounced into Gu Yi's arms, pretending to gnaw on his body.
"Ah!"
Gu Yi rolled his eyes and lay on the ground playing dead.
Suddenly, the little girl turned back into a normal human and lay in Gu Yi's arms giggling.
"You're so fake! Hahaha..."
"But I really could have been bitten to death by you!"
"I want to eat your brain."
"Don't do it!"
"Ah woo!"
The little girl opened her mouth wide and bit Gu Yi's head.
Gu Yi patted the little girl's cheek and begged loudly for mercy.
The little girl let go of Gu Yi and wiped her mouth contentedly, "You don't have a say in this."
"Ugh..."
Gu Yi rolled his eyes and held his hands up.
The little girl was scared and screamed, looking at Gu Yi in horror, "What's wrong with you?"
"You ate my brain and turned me into a ghost."
"Oh my god!"
"I'm going to catch you..."
"Don't do it!"
The little girl got up from the ground and quickly hid behind a big tree.
Gu Yi let out a low roar and chased after her.
"Ahahaha..."
The screams and laughter of the little girl echoed in the backyard.
The shop owner stuck his head out of the window, looking curious as he watched Gu Yi, "This guy is quite good at taking care of children!"
