At this point, the world of immortality has not yet merged with the real world. This results in two "him"s appearing simultaneously in the game and in reality during these eight minutes. If this problem is not resolved, he may never be able to log off again.
But before considering this long-term issue.
He's not sure yet.
Will I be able to leave this illusion alive...?
"This is truly 'sitting at home and disaster strikes out of the sky'... Normal exploration of secret realms can lead to this kind of thing. Could it be that I am the legendary jinx?"
As he murmured, Su Bai's eyes gradually sharpened.
He started to get serious.
after all.
If I don't take this seriously, I might really die.
From noticing the anomaly in the pocket watch to meticulously uncovering the truth, Su Bai's change of heart happened almost in the blink of an eye.
The little girl had just hidden the gift he gave her in a box under her bed.
Before she turned around.
Su Bai's thoughts stirred slightly.
Whoosh!
A blood-red figure rapidly materialized before him, and then, a gray-black mist enveloped Su Bai's entire body. He retreated into the shadows of the windowsill, where the light could not reach, as if he had simply vanished from this world.
The little girl, the woman outside the door, and the devil's doppelganger.
There are more than three people within ten meters.
The Forgotten Mask is in effect.
The little girl turned around, her eyes momentarily blank, but she seemed oblivious to anything amiss. She mistook the demonic clone disguised as Su Bai for 'Brother Hyman' and continued:
"Brother Hyman, tell me some more interesting things that happen outside!"
"OK."
The demon clone uttered strange tones, as if it were pinching its throat and trying to imitate Su Bai's voice.
Su Bai took out his pocket watch and silently counted the time.
One minute and thirty seconds.
A woman's voice rang out from outside the door right on time.
"Demi?"
"Today's treatment is about to begin."
This time, she didn't hear the strange voice that appeared in the room... Su Bai guessed the reason and soon got the answer.
Gift.
The gift you give to the little girl is key.
The first time, and this time, the little girl accepted the gifts without much resistance. The reason he was exposed last time was probably because the gift he gave didn't meet the little girl's approval.
Under Su Bai's command, the demon clone hid under the bed.
The door opened.
The woman, dressed in a long black dress, walked straight into the house.
She was holding a metal tray with some IV drip equipment and several bottles filled with an unknown liquid. The little girl sat nervously on the bed, and fear involuntarily showed on her face when she saw these things.
Su Bai stood in the corner, watching all of this without moving.
From his perspective.
It was clear that nothing unusual was happening around the demonic clone hidden under the bed.
However, in the clone's control panel, damage messages from unknown objects quietly appeared, indicating that it had begun to be attacked by illusions.
However, the demon clone was under his control, so even if it died, he could ensure that it would not make a sound.
"Breaking the illusion is the only way to get the timeline back on track."
"But what is the key to this illusion?"
Su Bai pondered quietly.
Is it a little girl?
The fact that the illusion reset leaves a mark on her undoubtedly proves her importance and means that she may be the only special being unaffected by the 'reset' in this time loop...
Would killing her solve the problem?
I am afraid.
That would only make things worse.
Su Bai shook his head slightly. It was this conjecture that prevented him from taking direct action, rather than the so-called guilt of killing an innocent child restraining him.
The little girl was the key to his ability to start over every time he failed.
Kill her.
If the illusion cannot be resolved.
But that means he doesn't even have a trump card left to restart the timeline.
"This illusion must be the most unforgettable memory for the Flower of the Demon Realm. It may be beautiful or painful, but in any case, there must be a key point that led to the formation of the memory."
"What I need to do is perhaps live to see that point come."
"Thinking about it that way."
"The original strategy guide can perhaps be used as a reference..."
Su Bai thought about it carefully.
In his guide to navigating wealthy neighborhoods:
Building Six is the area where the Flower of the Demon Realm seals its most fatal weakness. The main purpose of players entering Building Six is to find a little boy hiding inside, pursued by several untouchable monsters. That boy is the Seed of Sacrifice hidden in Building Six...
Little boy?
Hyman?
The information comparison indeed brought him immediate results.
He then realized that among the special monsters in Building 6, one of them had the exact same characteristics as the woman when she found him; the guide even jokingly referred to it as 'hide-and-seek'!
"If 'hide-and-seek' is done, then 'statues' and 'hopscotch' will probably appear as well..."
Su Bai's heart stirred slightly.
The guide mentions that there are three monsters roaming around Building 6.
They cannot be killed.
It cannot be controlled.
Once players encounter them, their only options are to escape or defeat them in the corresponding game to force them to retreat.
And among these three monsters...
The 'hide-and-seek' symbolized by women is essentially an unsolvable problem.
Its rule is that once a player is discovered, they will die, and no means of survival will work.
