"However, there is one thing I want to tell you. You'd better ask your parents to come over."

"My parents are very busy, and they don't work in the town. I'm afraid I don't have the chance to come here. Usually, I take care of my sister's food and daily life, and I basically help with homework."

"Hey..." The female teacher struggled for a while, "You should come with me, Gu Yao, wait here for a while..."

"No, I'll take her there with me."

Gu Yi followed the female teacher to the office, just like deduction, the teacher took out the bloody painting.

Gu Yi took the painting, and a system prompt sounded in his ear.

"You found [sister's bloody painting]."

"Story exploration increased by 1%."

Only 1%?

It seems that this thing doesn't have much digging value, it probably just serves as a reminder or clue.

"Teacher, what do you think of this painting?"

"I'm not an expert. I think you need to take your children to a big hospital to see the psychology department."

"I see."

Gu Yi folded the bloody painting and put it in his schoolbag, then turned and squatted in front of his sister.

"Are you hungry?"

Gu Yi didn't see any response from his sister, but he still communicated with her confidently.

"Just now I saw that you finished your almond water, do you still want to drink it?"

Gu Yi took out the almond water bottle.

The almond water bottle floated in front of Gu Yi's eyes.

"I'll take you to the small shop later, how about it?"

The bottle dangled up and down.

"Be good, I'll take you right away, okay?"

Gu Yi grinned, patted the air in front of him lightly, and then led her out of the school gate.

The small schoolbag was floating in the air, clinging tightly to his side.

Gu Yi felt a chill in his palm, but he was still thinking about the mystery in the dungeon - what is the sister next to him?

Or, what exactly is oneself?

Gu Yi sat on the bus and fell asleep for a while.

After opening their eyes, they had already arrived at the door of the small shop.

The owner of the store is an uncle in his 40s and [-]s, with a curly hair combed back. There is a semiconductor radio next to his counter, which is broadcasting storytelling, which seems to be the story of 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 to drink.

The taste of almond water was a bit strange, Gu Yi couldn't get used to drinking it at all, he wanted to throw away the bottle after only one sip.

He had just closed the lid when a system beep sounded in his ears.

"You drank [Almond Water]!"

"You have entered the state of spiritual vision, which lasts for 5 minutes."

Gu Yi blinked, and suddenly felt a chill behind him.

He looked towards the entrance of the village, where there seemed to be endless void tides rushing towards him, as long as he stepped out of the town, he would be instantly swallowed by the void.

"What the hell?"

Gu Yi whispered, and suddenly felt his sleeves tighten.

He turned his head to look, only to find that he could actually see his sister.

"I'm done drinking!"

The younger sister held up the empty bottle with innocent eyes.

Gu Yi froze for a moment, "Do you want more?"

"No." My sister shook her head, "Let's go home, I still have to do my homework."

"Okay, I'll buy a few more bottles of almond water for later."

Gu Yi nodded, and bought a whole dozen of almond water from the boss.

With this thing, Gu Yi can communicate with his sister unimpeded.

"It's really careless. There was a reminder in the renting instructions, but unfortunately I didn't pay attention at all. I have always been attracted by the puzzles of the family of three.

but……

Why almond water?

Why do I have to drink a specific drink in the dungeon before I can see my sister?Will there be any secrets here? "

Gu Yi thought silently in his heart, he pulled his sister and stood by the bus platform to wait for the bus.

The shop owner switched the channel.

This time, he is not playing storytelling, but a scary ghost story.

The speaker's voice was very ear-catching, and Gu Yi's mind was immediately drawn to it.

Chapter 61 The Executioner and the Condemned

"Once upon a time, a prisoner went to the execution ground and was about to be executed.

The prisoner knelt on the ground, trembling.

The executioner came up behind him and said in a low voice: Don't be afraid, I won't chop off your head, but the rope on your body.After the knife falls, you run out as soon as possible, the farther you run, the better, remember not to look back.

The prisoner was surprised, but believed what the executioner said.

Knife up and down.

The prisoner suddenly felt that the rope on his body fell to the ground, and he hurriedly ran out, running for dozens of miles.

Finally, he ran home panting and met his wife.

The wife said: How did you come back?

The prisoner said: I escaped back, someone rescued me.

A few years later.

The executioner passed by the prisoner's home on a business trip, and he was surprised to find that the prisoner's wife was holding a newborn child in her arms.

When the prisoner saw the executioner, he knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.

The prisoner said: Thanks to Engong who rescued me back then, otherwise I would be dead now.

The executioner was startled, and it took a long time before he said: Didn't I already cut off your head back then?

The prisoner said, "Grandpa, didn't you say that you cut the rope for me and let me run forward without looking back?"

The executioner replied: I was just comforting you back then, and I had already chopped off your head.

The prisoner exclaimed and disappeared.

The prisoner's wife, children, and his newly built house also disappeared into the air. "

Gu Yi listened to the story with his brows tightly furrowed, feeling a chill down his spine, as if he had vaguely grasped some key point.

"Yaoyao, isn't this story interesting just now?"

"Yeah...Wu Song is so powerful that he can even kill a tiger."

"a?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, the stories he and his sister heard were completely different.

This must be the system's reminder to itself - it is the setting of the world view about life and death in the introduction copy.

In the story, the prisoner is actually dead long ago, but if no one exposes his lies, then the prisoner can live forever.

If this anecdote is combined with my current situation to understand...

The small town around the island is actually illusory.

Pixel signs for passers-by.

Hollow dead fish eyes.

Invisible sister.

Weird time flow.

Everything in the town proves this.

During the last deduction, I asked my sister if the one in the painting was me.

This kind of behavior is like the executioner is exposing the lie, so he will trigger the death flag on the spot.

in other words.

"I" is actually the ghost of the family of three, "I" has long since died, living in illusory lies like a prisoner.

The photos and diaries sent by anonymous users are what happened in the real world. As long as I show these evidences to others, or if I make a mistake, then I will trigger the death flag.

Inferred from this, then the anonymous user may not be in his own camp - does he want to die by himself?

If the town is really illusory, will he die if he escapes from the town and returns to the real world?

Don't you rely on the illusory world of the small town to survive?

Why did the system ask him to escape from this town instead?

Gu Yi felt a chill down his back.

According to this logic, if you leave the town, you will die; if you don't leave the town, you won't be able to clear the instance.

This is a dead end with two ends blocked!

Where is your reasoning wrong?

If there is nothing wrong with the reasoning process, then the problem can only lie in the prerequisites.

1. The major premise of "I" is a ghost is wrong, so the conclusion will naturally be inconsistent, and the definition of "ghost" needs to be reset.

2. Leaving the "small town" mentioned in the dungeon does not refer to the "small town around the island" where I am now.

In summary:

The town around the island is likely to be the other world, and my first task should be to find a way to escape from the other world and return to the real world.In addition, the lie that "I" is dead cannot be dismantled.

"Brother, is there something wrong with you?"

The younger sister's words interrupted Gu Yi's thinking.

Gu Yi turned his head, glanced at his sister, and found that she was gradually becoming transparent.Gu Yi quickly took a sip of almond water and said with a smile, "No, I'm just thinking about something."

"Thinking about what?"

"It's nothing, I don't understand after I tell you."

The bus arrived home soon, and it took Gu Yi a total of four and ten minutes along the way. The countdown is now [10 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes].

There were leftovers left by his parents in the kitchen, Gu Yi reheated them casually, and finished the dinner.

Gu Yi sat at the desk with his mobile phone in a daze.

In the small town, my time flow is not synchronized with the countdown time flow, but when I stay in the old house, the time flow is synchronized again.

"It seems that there is another rule to be added to the countdown rule."
