Chapter 17 - Angel? Devil? (2)

(Little girl: How did you know?)

(You: Don't worry about this for now. If you want to eat, just eat.)

(Little girl: You must have the ability to predict the future, right?)

(You: No. I guessed that you love eating lamb kidneys.)

(Little girl: Then you have mind-reading skills, right? Then tell me what I'm thinking now. If you answer correctly, I will give you a reward. If you answer wrongly, I will dig out your brain and make hot pot.)

(You feel a chill down your back.)

(Little girl: Hurry up and say it?)

(The little girl begins to show her true face.)

(You: You are thinking about how to eat my brain?)

(Little girl: You guessed wrong!)

(The little girl opens her bloody mouth and bites towards your neck.)

(You stop the deduction!)

Damn it!

Too impatient!

Gu Yi shakes his head. Unexpectedly, he predicted the plot in advance. Not only did he not take the lead, but he lifted a rock and hit himself in the foot.

No, this is not the correct way to clear the level.

Start over.

(The deduction begins!)

(You take the task, throw away the offal in the kitchen, and arrange the store owner to buy as many lamb kidneys as possible.)

(You hold the little girl and go to the backyard to play.)

(You obey the little girl.)

(The little girl has a great time playing.)

(Little girl: I smell the smell of barbecue. I want to eat lamb kidneys.)

(You: I'll get it for you right away.)

(You come to the gate and take the lamb kidneys from the store owner.)

(You hand them to the little girl.)

(The little girl eats one by one. After eating two skewers, she can't eat anymore.)

(Little girl: You eat the rest.)

(You do as she says.)

(Little girl: It's so boring. Why don't we play...)

(You: You think it's boring. How about I perform magic tricks for you?)

(Little girl: Okay!)

(You perform the magic trick of a finger passing through the ear. The little girl is very excited. She pesters you to tell her the principle of the magic trick.)

(You teach patiently.)

(Little girl: I think performing magic tricks is boring. I still like playing hide and seek. Otherwise...)

(You shudder all over.)

(You: It's not boring. I'll perform other magic tricks for you.)

(You perform a magic trick of stretching a finger.)

(The little girl seems uninterested.)

(Little girl: I have seen this magic trick a long time ago. It's not interesting at all.)

(You: What about this one?)

(Little girl: Boring. Not interesting! I don't want to perform magic tricks anymore. I want to play hide and seek!)

(You clench your teeth.)

(This is only the first time the little girl makes a request. You still have a chance to persuade her!)

(You: Playing hide and seek is too dangerous. There are many germs on the patients here. They will infect you.)

(Little girl: No. My father said that the diseases of these people will not infect us.)

(You: This place is too big. Playing hide and seek is a bit dangerous.)

(Little girl: Then we just need to limit the range. Let's play in this backyard. We don't go to the outside square.)

(You: But this place is too narrow...)

(Little girl: Are you making excuses and don't want to play with me? Are you going to refuse me?)

(You: No. I'm just discussing with you.)

(Little girl: Play hide and seek with me. Play hide and seek with me!)

(Making the request three times in a row.)

(You don't agree.)

(The little girl turns into a monster and waves her sharp claws and cuts off your head.)

(You are dead.)

(The deduction ends!)

The fourth deduction.

Still ends in failure!

Gu Yi takes a deep breath and starts deduction again.

(The deduction begins!)

(You suspect that there may be false rules on the babysitting work manual.)

(You have proved that refusing the little girl will definitely lead to sudden death.)

(Not only that. No matter how you meet the little girl's requests, in the end she will still put forward a request of playing hide and seek.)

(Playing hide and seek is unavoidable.)

(There cannot be a deadly chess game in the eerie world. There must be a way to clear the level safely.)

(With the experience of the previous four times, you perfectly complete all the little girl's requests.)

(The little girl looks at you and shows an innocent smile.)

(Little girl: Let's play a game. How about playing hide and seek?)

(You: Okay.)

(You nod helplessly. If you refuse, you will die immediately. Maybe playing hide and seek may have a glimmer of hope?)

(Little girl: Great. Then you be the ghost, okay?)

(You: Okay.)

(Little girl: Then you hide quickly. I will count to one hundred and then come out to find you.)

(The little girl grins and smiles brightly.)

(You nod and find a place to hide.)

(You suddenly feel a chill all over and feel as if you are in an ice cave.)

(Everything around you becomes transparent.)

(You turn around and find your body lying on the ground.)

(You really become a "ghost"!)

(You are dead.)

(The deduction ends!)

Gu Yi is sweating profusely.

He keeps silently saying "start deduction" in his heart. But nothing happens.

Gu Yi feels a headache. This is the result of exhaustion of mental strength.

Gu Yi opens his eyes. Cold sweat wets his back.

He has exhausted five deductions and still hasn't found any method to clear the level perfectly!

Could it be that...

Am I really going to die here?

Gu Yi holds the babysitting work manual in his hand and stares blankly.

The store owner is getting impatient. He gently taps on the table and asks loudly, "Hey, what are you doing? Do you want to take this task or not?"

Gu Yi thinks for a moment.

"Can I still take this task if I come over tomorrow?"

"Ha? What are you thinking? The store owner said. "She will go home tomorrow."

"Then can I come over in an hour?"

"I am super busy now. That's why I have to ask you to help me take care of the child. After an hour, I will be done. Why do I need you to take care of the child?"

Gu Yi sighs helplessly.

He can't delay time and recover his mental strength.

If he wants to get the live toad, he must complete the store owner's task now.

The toad may be the only clue for him to defeat the spider in Room 0.

Only by getting rid of that spider can Gu Yi successfully enter the first basement floor of the hospital without using the access card.

Dealing with this little devil is an insurmountable obstacle forever!

"Hey, do you take it or not? If not, forget it!"

"Yes, I take this task."

Gu Yi clenches his teeth and nods.

He can't only rely on his own ability.

Sometimes, he must face difficulties directly!

The little girl blinks at Gu Yi and shows an innocent smile. She opens her hands towards Gu Yi and says in a childish voice:

"Big brother, will you play games with me? Uncle store owner doesn't play with me. Only you can play with me."
