Chapter 060 Picking up my sister from school (Part 4)
“That’s wrong, this assumption is unreasonable.
It doesn't make sense that after I solved the puzzle, the system didn't reward me, but instead caused me to trigger the instant death flag. The information provided by anonymous users cannot be connected to this world, this is what the system means.
Is the anonymous user actually throwing a smokescreen at me? "
Gu Yi pondered for a moment.
At present, this contradiction cannot be solved and does not need to be solved. Future progress will definitely provide more clues to resolve this contradiction.
Now let’s find a way to leave school safely.
"Backtrack!"
(Backtracking begins!)
(You hold your sister's bloody painting and ponder for a moment.)
(You squat in front of the air and communicate with your sister in the gentlest tone possible.)
(You: “Why did you draw like this?”)
(The female teacher came over and touched the air's head.)
(Female teacher: "Maybe she had a nightmare recently? You should pay more attention to Gu Yao recently.")
(You: “Okay, shall we go home? Or should I take you out for dinner?”)
(Suddenly, the red schoolbag in your hand opens.)
(The bottle of almond water flies out and waves before your eyes.)
(You suddenly remembered the small shop mentioned in [Old House Rental Instructions].)
(You: “You want to go to the grocery store and buy a bottle of almond water?”)
(You hear no words, but the bottle bobs up and down.)
(You: “Okay, then just be good and don’t make any noise. I’ll take you there.”)
(You greeted the teacher.)
(You take your sister away.)
(You two took the bus and arrived at the small shop at the entrance of the town. The countdown consumed another 10 minutes.)
(You terminate the game.)
"Okay."
Gu Yi stood up from the ground and patted his face.
Gu Yi came to the classroom and saw the teacher correcting homework at the desk.
The female teacher raised her head, wearing a pair of thick wine bottle bottom glasses. Through the lenses, Gu Yi saw a pair of lifeless fish eyes.
"Are you Gu Yao's brother?"
"That's right." Gu Yi smiled and nodded, "I'll take Gu Yao home."
After Gu Yi finished speaking, he walked straight to his sister's desk and helped her pack her schoolbag with ease.
The female teacher stood behind Gu Yi curiously and praised:
"You are really diligent. I think many parents are not as considerate as you."
"I raised my younger sister. My parents didn't really care about her."
Gu Yi looked at the air in front of him lovingly, as if there was really a lovely sister in front of him. He felt his sleeve suddenly grabbed by someone, and he finally felt relieved.
——It seems that this is the correct way to communicate with my sister.
He must sincerely acknowledge his sister's existence and take care of her with all his heart.
"You are such a good brother."
"you flatter me."
"However, there is one thing I still want to tell you. You'd better ask your parents to come over."
"My parents are very busy. They don't work in town. I'm afraid they don't have much chance to come over. I usually take care of my sister's food and daily life, and I usually help her with her homework."
"Ah..." The female teacher hesitated for a moment, "You should come with me. Gu Yao, you wait here for a while..."
"No need, I'll take her with me."
Gu Yi followed the female teacher to the office, and just as he had imagined, the teacher took out the bloody painting.
Gu Yi took the painting and a system prompt sounded in his ears.
"You found [your sister's bloody drawing]."
"Increase plot exploration by 1%."
Only 1%?
It seems that this thing does not have much value in exploration, it may just serve as a hint or clue.
"Teacher, what do you think of this painting?"
"I'm not an expert. I think you need to take your child to a big hospital to see a psychiatrist."
"I see."
Gu Yi folded the bloody painting and put it into his schoolbag, then turned around and squatted in front of his sister.
"Are you hungry?"
Gu Yi didn't see any response , but he still communicated with her confidently.
"I saw you finished your almond water just now. Do you want some more?"
Gu Yi took out the bottle of almond water.
The almond water bottle floated in the air in front of Gu Yi.
"I'll take you to the grocery store later, how about that?"
The bottle swung up and down.
"Be good, I'll take you there right away, okay?"
Gu Yi grinned, patted the air in front of him gently, and then took her hand and walked out of the school gate.
The small backpack was floating in the air, sticking closely to his side.
Gu Yi felt his palms were cold, but his heart was still pondering the mystery in the copy - what exactly is the sister next to him?
Or in other words, who am I?
Gu Yi sat on the bus and took a short nap.
When they opened their eyes, they had arrived at the door of the grocery store.
The shop owner was a man in his thirties or forties with a slicked-back hair. Next to his counter was a semiconductor radio, which was playing a story that seemed to be from The Water Margin.
"What do you want to buy?"
"Almond water." Gu Yi paused, "Two bottles. "
"five yuan."
Gu Yi bought two bottles of water, one for his sister and one for himself.
The taste of almond water was a bit strange, and Gu Yi couldn't get used to it at all. He only took a sip and wanted to throw the bottle away.
He had just closed the lid when he heard the system prompt sound.
"You drank the [Almond Water]!"
"You enter a state of clairvoyance that lasts for five minutes."
Gu Yi blinked and suddenly felt a chill behind him.
He looked towards the entrance of the village, where it seemed as if an endless tide of void was rushing towards him. As long as he took a step out of the town, he would be swallowed up by the void in an instant.
"What the hell?"
Gu Yi was speaking in a low voice when he suddenly felt his sleeve tighten.
He turned his head and found that he could actually see his sister.
"I'm done!"
My sister held up the empty bottle with innocent eyes.
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, "Do you want more?"
"No." My sister shook her head. "Let's go home. I still have homework to do."
"Okay, I'll buy a few more bottles of almond water for later."
Gu Yi nodded and bought a whole dozen bottles of almond water from the boss.
With this thing, Gu Yi can communicate with his sister smoothly.
“I was so careless. There were hints in the rental instructions, but I didn’t pay attention to them because I was distracted by the puzzle .
but……
Why almond water?
Why do I have to drink a specific drink in the dungeon to see my sister? Is there any secret in this? "
Gu Yi was thinking silently in his heart. He took his sister to stand at the bus stop waiting for the bus.
The shop owner switched the channel.
This time, he was not performing a storytelling performance, but a horror ghost story.
The announcer's voice was very catchy, and Gu Yi's attention was immediately drawn to it.
