As the footsteps got closer, Chi Mu looked around, trying to find a weapon that suits him.
Just then, a pair of black leather shoes came into Chi Mu's sight.
He stood up suddenly, intending to strike first and pounce directly on the special chosen one.
Unexpectedly, when Chi Mu saw clearly who was coming, he was stunned, because this was someone he had never seen before.
The man was wearing a dark brown sweater and had a beard. He looked to be only in his thirties, with a very elegant temperament. He wore gold-framed glasses.
"Sir, you are the chosen one to participate in the ghost story game, right? I am the manager of the study, my name is Peter."
Peter smiled at Chi Mu, very politely.
Chi Mu's heart was instantly relieved. It turned out that he was not a special chosen one at all, but the manager of this study.
"call......"
Chi Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect that this study room actually had a dedicated administrator.
Then he asked, "Mr. Peter, do you have an owl in your study?"
Peter's expression changed slightly and he shook his head slightly: "No, there is no owl in the study. I am the only one here. Excuse me, do you want to borrow books?"
Chi Mu was a little disappointed when he heard Peter deny that there was an owl here.
But he was absolutely sure that there was definitely an owl in this study, and he couldn't have heard it wrong just now.
Peter might be lying, or the owl might really be in the study, but Peter just doesn't know it.
"Mr. Peter, besides me, has anyone else been here?"
"Of course, several Chosen Ones have been here before you."
Chi Mu nodded, then left Peter's presence, presumably because he could not get any useful information from here.
At least, Peter knew nothing about owls.
Chi Mu walked around the study again, but ultimately could not find any clues about the talking owl.
Before leaving, he found Peter again, looked at him deeply, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Peter, what did those chosen ones do in the study before I came?"
"They? They all read a book called The Castle of Truth. I wonder if you would like to read it, sir?"
Peter asked Chi Mu politely.
The Castle of Truth?
After thinking about it, Chi Mu nodded to Peter, indicating that he wanted to read the book.
Peter walked to a bookcase, took out a book and handed it to Chi Mu.
"The Castle of Truth" is a very old book, a bit like the magic books that Chi Mu had seen in science fiction movies, and the decoration on the surface is particularly interesting.
Chi Mu sat on the leather sofa in front of the fireplace and opened the book with great curiosity.
The beginning of this book was exactly the same as any book Chi Mu had read before. He couldn't understand the content at all. After flipping through more than ten pages, he became confused.
"I don't understand. Can those chosen ones understand what this book says?"
Chi Mu flipped through a few more pages, but still couldn't understand the contents of the book.
He put the book back on the table and fell into deep thought.
Logically speaking, since Chi Mu couldn't understand the contents of the book, no one else could understand it either, but why did they keep reading this book?
Could it be that they are not looking at what the book is about, but the question itself is what is in the book?
Thinking of this, Chi Mu picked up the book again and quickly flipped through it one page at a time. Finally, when he turned to page 193, he discovered the secret of the book.
I saw that this entire page was completely different from the previous content. The content on it was actually rule sequence two!
【Rule Sequence 2】
[1: The owl can only be found during even-numbered hours, but it can also appear during odd-numbered hours.]
[2: There are four rounds of ghost story games. Please pay attention to the timing of entering the game to get free points.]
[3: All the contents of the ghost story game are written in a book, which is hidden in the study.]
[4: Not only does the owl know the identity of the special chosen one, but the identity of the special chosen one can also be known through other things.]
After reading these four new rules, Chi Mu finally understood why those chosen ones would read this book.
It turned out that they had already known Rule Sequence 2, and Chi Mu was already considered the slowest to react.
This time, there was no system notification sound, not even half of the system sound.
Chi Mu concluded that the four rules in rule sequence two should all be correct.
"Owls are only seen at even-numbered hours, but they also appear at odd-numbered hours, which..."
Chi Mu looked at the first rule and took out his pocket watch.
15:19.
It is now an odd-numbered hour period, and according to the rules, it is impossible for the owl to be discovered.
Judging from the time, the time when I heard the owl's wings flapping should be around two o'clock, an even number.
It seems that if I want to find a talking owl, I have to stay in the study for a while longer.
Then, Chi Mu turned his attention to Rule 2.
It clearly states that there are only four rounds of the ghost story game, but three of them have already been completed, which means there is only the last game left.
"It's broken. If I can't get 20 free points in the next round of games, there will be no more games that will allow me to get free points!"
