She offered, "This painting is called 'Sunflower' because Sister Viya said that sunflowers are very resilient plants. No matter how much wind and rain they endure, they will eventually bloom into bright and beautiful flowers."
"...Demi also wanted to be like this flower, even if it could only bloom once."
As she spoke, her mood began to drop.
"...You will."
Su Bai patted her head meaningfully.
These words were not meant to comfort her. The flower she would blossom into in the future would be far more beautiful than a sunflower, though perhaps not as radiant as some others...
Heavy topics rarely resonate with Su Bai.
But he was thinking of something else.
Taking out the chime bird and the key, Su Bai asked, "Demi, do you know what these two items are for?"
"This is the chime bird inside the clock..."
The little girl knew, as she recalled, a hint of fear showing on her face, and said, "One day, Daddy thought it was noisy and threw it away... I secretly picked it up, so please don't let Daddy see it."
"This key... seems familiar, but I can't quite place it."
She stuck out her tongue.
"It doesn't matter."
Su Bai nodded, pondering the information she had given him.
"Demi?"
"Today's treatment is about to begin!"
One minute and thirty seconds.
A woman's voice rang out from outside the door precisely on time.
"Brother Hyman, hurry up... um?" The little girl interrupted the conversation, frantically trying to get Su Bai to hide. But when she turned her head, she saw that he had already crawled under the bed. She blinked her bright eyes and swallowed the rest of her words.
As soon as he crawled inside, Su Bai turned around and crawled out from under the bed again.
A blood-red figure was left under the bed.
The timeline has been restarted.
This also reset the cooldown of his equipment skills.
Amidst the pervasive gray fog, Su Bai's actions went unnoticed by the two people inside. He brushed past the most terrifying demon in the building, walked out of the room, and returned to the living room.
Clack...
Clack...
The soft clicking of the clock hands seemed to echo in his mind.
As soon as Su Bai stepped out of the room, he immediately froze, as if he had turned into a statue and blocked the doorway.
He already knew how he had just died.
Besides 'hide-and-seek', the only other thing capable of taking him down when he's completely off guard is 'the wooden man'.
"three."
"two."
"one."
"Wooden figure, don't move."
A voice unconsciously echoed in Su Bai's mind, and he added at the end: "Those who move will die..."
The problem is,
How can he determine when it is safe to move?
"The monsters' abilities have indeed been enhanced."
He sighed inwardly.
I was just lamenting that the already unsolvable 'hide-and-seek' mechanic has now been enhanced by a new, tricky, and potentially fatal one.
Now it seems...
But the most outrageous things are yet to come.
The rules of the 'Statues' game require at least the ability to hear sounds in order to determine when it is safe to act.
result,
It doesn't even give any audio prompts.
They couldn't even find a target, let alone judge when to 'turn around'!
