Chapter 057 Picking up my sister from school (Part 1)
Gu Yi gradually calmed down. He opened his phone and sent a message to the anonymous user.
"Who are you?"
The other party never answered.
Gu Yi exited his inbox and checked the countdown.
【6 days, 12 hours and 20 minutes. 】
"What the hell?"
Gu Yi looked up in surprise and found that the sun had begun to set and the classmates around him were packing their bags to get ready for school.
He just lowered his head to look at his phone for a while, why was it time to go home from school now?
"Is it an illusion? No, this is something the Unspeakable is doing."
Gu Yi closed his eyes and checked his mental strength.
45/60.
At the beginning, I used one deduction and two back-deductions, which consumed a total of 20 points of mental energy.
Now, the recovery rate of my mental strength when I am awake is 10 points per hour, which means that only half an hour has passed since I left home.
——He only stayed in school for 10 minutes at most, how could he suddenly disappear for 11 hours?
Gu Yi felt a sense of powerlessness.
In the previous copy, Gu Yi was always confined to a limited space.
But this time, Gu Yi was confined to an extremely strange time flow.
If I can't unravel the secret of the time flow, I'm afraid I'll die without doing anything and without solving any puzzles.
What’s the use even if you have infinite deductions?
"Calm down, calm down...don't worry."
Gu Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
At this time, Gu Yi's cell phone rang. It was his mother calling.
Gu Yi picked up the phone.
"Mother?"
"Your dad and I will be back late because we are working overtime today. Go pick up your sister from school."
"knew."
Gu Yi put down the phone and walked out of the campus, only to find something strange on the road.
Everyone turned into pixel puzzles, walking around randomly on the road. Even though Gu Yi's mental strength was strong enough, he was almost frightened to death.
Gu Yi took two steps back and stood inside the school gate.
"Begin the deduction!"
(Deduction begins!)
(You feel scared.)
(You are worried about encountering strange attacks on the road, so you use your innate abilities to explore.)
(You walked down the street.)
(You'll find that when you pass by passersby, they will return to their normal appearance, but as long as they are more than ten meters away from you, they will turn into pixel puzzles.)
(You walk and check the time on your phone.)
(When you stop, the passage of time stops.)
(When you walk toward your sister's school, the countdown will restart.)
(Whether you walk fast or slow, the countdown will still be calculated according to your own speed, but you will vaguely feel that the countdown speed is much faster than your perception.)
(You choose to turn back.)
(The countdown is still on.)
(Countdown [6 days, 12 hours, 10 minutes], you look up.)
(You find yourself standing at the entrance of your sister's school, but you were walking the opposite way.)
(You terminated the game!)
"Why is this happening?"
Gu Yi frowned slightly, picked up his phone and thought carefully.
Now, his mental strength was 35/60, and he decided to test the countdown with his mental strength recovery speed.
Gu Yi stood there, not counting down the seconds.
However, Gu Yi's mental strength has recovered by 5 points, which means that Gu Yi has been standing there for half an hour.
Gu Yi looked at his phone and immediately understood the meaning of the countdown.
This thing is not really a countdown, it is more like a "payment tool" for taking actions.
Let me give you two examples.
The action of "going to school" takes 11 hours.
As long as you sit in school, no matter what you do in school, as long as you stay in school for 10 minutes, 11 hours will be deducted at the end of the countdown, and the time in the copy will be advanced by 11 hours into the evening, but it will not affect your personal time.
The action of "picking up sister" takes 10 minutes.
As long as you walk on the road, no matter which direction you go, you will eventually arrive at the gate of your sister's school, and 10 minutes will be deducted from the countdown.
Gu Yi also speculated that "actions" cannot be determined casually, and only actions recognized by parents can count.
During the day, it is my parents who force me to go to school.
In the evening, it was my mother who called and asked me to pick up my sister.
This countdown is not actually a tool to limit oneself, it is something that can be used. As long as it is arranged reasonably, Gu Yi can have almost unlimited time.
Just like the current situation.
As long as Gu Yi stands still and doesn't walk, he can keep the countdown in place.
"Interesting. I see."
Gu Yi's frown finally relaxed, and he found the right way to explore the island town. He walked out of the school gate and walked around the road.
Ten minutes later, Gu Yi instantly moved to the entrance of Huandao Primary School.
Gu Yi picked up his phone and checked it.
【6 days 12 hours 10 minutes】
The countdown has been paused.
Gu Yi guessed that as long as he didn't enter elementary school, time would not continue to pass.
To be on the safe side, Gu Yi started to deduce again.
(Deduction begins!)
(You were in no rush to enter elementary school.)
(You took two steps at random , but every time you walked out of the school gate, you would be back to the starting point.)
(Although the countdown has stopped, the range of your actions is still limited.)
(As for the rules of action, you still need more experiments to verify .)
(You walked into the elementary school.)
(All the classrooms in the school were closed, except for Class 2, Grade 3, where the lights were still on.)
(You pushed the door open and walked into the classroom, only to see a female teacher sitting on the podium.)
(Female teacher: "Are you Gu Yao's brother?")
(Who are you.")
(Female teacher: "Your sister has been waiting for you for a long time. Yaoyao, pack your things quickly.")
(You hear footsteps again.)
(The female teacher holds an invisible hand and passes it to you.)
(You take it in a pretentious manner.)
(Female teacher: "You two look so alike.")
(You: “Thank you.”)
(You nodded and walked out of the school.)
(Your phone rings .)
(You open it and see that it is another .)
(Run.)
(You are at a loss.)
(A gust of wind blows by.)
(You suddenly appear in the middle of the street.)
(A truck speeds by.)
(You cannot move.)
(You were run over by a car.)
(Your eyes turn red.)
(you are dead.)
(The deduction is over!)
Gu Yi opened his eyes and the scene just now kept flashing in his mind.
That street looks very familiar, it is clearly the school gate!
Gu Yi turned his head and looked around, and actually saw the truck that hit and killed him at the corner of the street.
