Chapter 062: The Third Floor of the Old House
(Deduction begins!)
(You drink a bottle of almond water and leave the room.)
(You come to the second floor and your sister is doing homework in her room.)
(You come to your parents' room next door.)
(You sit at your mother's dressing table, searching for clues, and find a note in a jewelry box.)
(There were lots of phone numbers on it, but no names.)
(You take out your phone and dial numbers one by one, but they are all empty.)
(You are a little confused, but you still write down all the numbers silently.)
(You open the drawer of your dresser and find some medicines inside. You discover that they are all for treating cancer.)
( Is there something wrong with my mother's health?)
(You put the medicine in the drawer, turned around and searched in the bedside table, and finally found a key in the bottom cabinet.)
(You hid the key in your arms.)
(You haven't found any valuable clues.)
(You leave the room, only to find your sister standing by the door, looking at you.)
(Sister: "Brother, did you steal something just now?")
(You: “No.”)
(Sister: "I saw you steal Dad's keys, give them back now.")
(You: “I didn’t steal anything, you saw it wrong.”)
(My sister's hair fluttered and her eyes flashed red.)
(Sister: "If you return it now, I can pretend not to see it. If you don't return it, don't blame me...")
(You terminated the game!)
"Huh... one more rule. Also, my sister seems to be a monster too. Am I the only normal person in this family?"
Gu Yi took out the rental information of the old house and added a note below.
【Don’t steal from your parents.】
Gu Yi thought silently for a while. He realized that the noise he made just now was too loud and his sister would definitely find out.
But the doors in the old house all need to be kicked twice before they can be opened, which is hard not to attract my sister's attention. I don't know when my parents will come back, and when they get home, it will be even more impossible for me to get the things inside.
"Try another way."
(Deduction begins!)
(You take a sip of almond water.)
(You go to the toilet and get a bar of soap.)
(You leave the old house and climb into your parents' room through the window from the outside.)
(You crouched by the door and listened for a while, but your sister didn't notice you at all.)
(You take out your father's key and use soap to make the tooth marks on the key.)
(You return to your room with the soap.)
(You waited for a while, but your sister didn't notice you.)
(You return to your room, take out your student card, and cut it into the shape of a key according to the soap mark.)
(You return to the third floor.)
(You successfully opened the door to the third floor with the forged key.)
(You stand at the door for a moment, checking the speed of time on your phone. As you pass the unlocked room, time speeds up significantly.)
(You try to stay away from unlocked rooms.)
(You successfully opened the locked room with the key in your hand .)
(You stood at the door for a while, and the countdown did not speed up, so you walked into the room.)
(The room is empty except for a black box. You open the box and a huge python jumps out.)
(You are entangled by a python.)
(You feel suffocated.)
(Your vision goes dark.)
(you are dead.)
(The deduction is over!)
Gu Yi opened his eyes and thought for a moment.
The danger on the third floor is not only the extremely high speed of time flow, but also the hidden monsters. There is something hidden in the black box on the third floor, but I can't take it out for the time being.
However, I still have to find a way to get Dad's key.
Gu Yi successfully produced a fake key according to the method he had deduced before, and the system also issued a prompt at the same time.
"You have obtained [Dad's Key (Forged)]!"
"Your story exploration level has increased!"
"The current exploration progress is 2%!"
Gu Yi frowned slightly. In the previous copy, every time he obtained an important plot prop, he could get at least 10 points of exploration.
This time, only 1% could be obtained.
"It's much more complicated than I imagined..."
Gu Yi rubbed his temple with a frown.
After a while, Gu Yi heard the sound of a lock being unlocked outside the house.
Gu Yi quickly cleaned up the table to avoid his parents noticing anything.
Your mother came to your room and gave you a concerned look.
"Doing homework?"
"Um."
"Where's your sister?"
"upstairs."
"oh."
The mother nodded and went to her sister's room.
Gu Yi put down his pen and looked through the crack in the door.
Both parents were talking at the door of your sister's room, as if they were deliberately avoiding you. You could vaguely hear your sister sobbing, and your parents seemed to mention painting in their conversation.
"It should be the teacher who told them about the bloody painting."
Gu Yi returned to the desk and sat down again.
Obviously, my parents didn't want me to die, so when my sister drew that picture that hinted at death, they became so nervous and even scolded her.
Now it is basically certain.
My parents are on my side, while the anonymous user in the mobile phone is on the opposite side of me, and all his messages are intended to mislead me.
The anonymous user is the executioner who exposes the lies .
Boom boom boom——
Mother knocked on Gu Yi's door.
"What's up?"
Gu Yi opened the door.
The mother outside the door had already changed into her pajamas. She pointed to her empty wrist and said, "It's almost ten o'clock. Go to bed quickly."
"ah?"
Gu Yi blinked and took out his cell phone to take a look.
【6 days, 9 hours and 23 minutes】
Time has moved forward without me noticing.
"Take a shower and go to bed."
"Uh... okay."
Gu Yi nodded and went to the bathroom to wash up obediently.
There is one more thing to add about the countdown rules.
[Parents’ time flow will affect the countdown on their mobile phones. ]
This can actually be inferred from the time when I picked up my sister from school.
Gu Yi's parents gave him the task of picking up his sister. They thought that Gu Yi could arrive at his sister's school in ten minutes, so the strange time flow phenomenon occurred before.
"This is a major discovery. The countdown time is actually based on the will of the parents. They think it's time to go to bed now, so I have to go to bed."
After washing up, Gu Yi lay down on his bed and fell asleep.
…
The next morning.
Gu Yi's cell phone suddenly rang. It was another text message from an anonymous user.
[May 12, 2021, light rain.]
[My brother is gone, I feel so lonely. If he were still here, he would definitely protect me. ]
[There is always a weirdo with clown makeup outside the house. He suddenly appeared in my window tonight.]
[You know, we live on the 20th floor, how did he climb to my window? ]
【Besides, I have seen that clown. 】
[This morning, a wedding procession came to our neighborhood. The bride looked like a cat and the groom looked like a mouse. The clown was even handing out balloons to the children.]
I told my parents about the clown thing and they said I was having a nightmare, but I wasn’t having a nightmare at all.
[Dad said that no one in our neighborhood has been getting married recently. You must have seen the clown somewhere .]
