Weird Talker

Chapter 499 Conversation

"Wow—"

The elevator door opened, and Shen Shen walked towards the coffee shop through the dark night.

Although the red map in the field of vision no longer shows light spots, time still exists.

The current time is 02:30, and the second stage is longer than the first stage, not because it is difficult or dangerous, but because the process is longer.

Shen Kai didn't think there was any difficulty. There were only so many routines in this kind of game. The later he got to the later stage, the more rules he had mastered. As long as he could calm down and think about it, the answer would not be too difficult to find.

At this time, a gust of cold night wind blew into the shopping mall, causing Shen Kai to raise his head.

Already at the door of the cafe.

It was pitch black inside the glass door, and there was nothing there.

There was no ghost, nor was he dragged into any weird environment, Shen Kai pushed open the door and walked in.

The floor of the cafe is wooden and thick.

Even though he had already walked into the coffee shop, everything was still as usual and nothing happened.

Is it wrong?

Just as this thought flashed through Shen Shen's mind, he saw new text appearing in his field of vision next to the red map.

【Hello, Shen Ke, welcome to this game. 】

Shen Li frowned instantly.

This line of words is not weird, nor does it say anything strange.

But this tone... made Shen Kai very uncomfortable.

Is this a ghost story recorded in [Hitomi]?

That is to say, the one who made this line of red text appear in the field of vision was not [Pupil Realm], but the ghost in this game.

But no matter which of the two it was, Shen Bai was not so happy.

He never imagined [Tongjie] and Ligui to have the same characteristics as humans.

That is to say, he doesn't think [Tongjie] and ghosts have any intelligence.

At least it is impossible to communicate with humans.

but……

This line of red text made Shen Bai's heart sink.

Because the tone of this line is very similar to a person talking to another person.

It is no longer the iconic emotionless, or hoarse, low-pitched, male-female voice of [Tongjie].

Shen Kai stared at the scarlet letter in front of him, but what he thought in his mind was - am I under the gaze of something?

Or, the anomaly that is happening now is caused by the ghost in the coffee shop?

Shen Ke stared at the red text, and within a second, new text appeared again.

[It is your pleasure to solve the mystery of the ghost story. Indeed, every question has an answer. 】

[There is no absolute dead end in this game, unless the choice is wrong. 】

[So... can you guarantee that your choices are all correct? 】

[This is a game prepared for you. Now, you have three or ten minutes to find the real body of the ghost in the coffee shop. 】

[You only need to touch it to be considered a success. 】

[Please remember the following three points. 】

[One, the farther you are from it, the greater the probability of your sudden death. 】

[Second, the closer you are to the end time, the greater the probability of your sudden death. 】

[Three, if you don’t find it at the end of the time, you will die directly. 】

【Good luck. 】

The red text in the field of vision suddenly disappeared and ceased to exist.

Shen Kai was still pondering whether there was some kind of mystery behind these words, but he didn't expect it to disappear immediately.

Fortunately, this level of text can be remembered after only reading it once.

Shen Kai glanced around, it was interesting...

This game of mine is the most realistic hide-and-seek.

The phrase "the real body of a ghost" is mentioned in the red text.

In other words, the ghost in this cafe is not in "human form", but disguised as something common?

Maybe……

While thinking about it, Shen Ke turned on the lights in the coffee shop.

The whole cafe instantly lit up.

Tables, chairs, benches, tableware cushions, curtains and door frames, chandeliers, calligraphy and paintings, counter coffee machines...

A bunch of things I had seen during the day appeared in front of my eyes.

Shen Kai went through the words just now in his mind a little bit, all his information now comes from those red words.

It's really strange... This is the first time that a player is given a mission in a "human speaking" tone.

And those words seem to know me very well.

From the current point of view, the one who posted those red texts should not be the ghost of this game, but [Tongjie].

Could it be that the people behind [Tujijie] know me?

Shen Kai didn't think too much, and seized the time to search in the coffee shop.

Only half an hour later, the ghost died when he couldn't find his real body.

There is another point, the farther away from the ghost, the greater the probability of sudden sudden death.

In other words, this is a probabilistic event. As long as you are lucky enough, you can stay far away from ghosts without dying?

There is another one, the closer to the end time of 10 minutes, the greater the probability of death.

This weird rule completely aroused Shen Kai's interest, and the red text was provocative as soon as it came up, with a look [Although you treat strange talk as a puzzle game, you are not afraid at all, but you can guarantee that the choices you make will always be Is it the best?] attitude.

If he just scolded Shen Kai for being stupid, he wouldn't be angry at all, but if he said that he made a wrong choice, he would be playing disco on a minefield.

Now even if there is a way out in front of him, Shen Li will find out the ghost before leaving.

However, having said that, there are quite a lot of things in this cafe.

From the chandelier on the ceiling to the drain on the floor, from the landscape painting on the wall to the landscape plants by the window.

Each one could be a ghost.

Do you want to touch them all?

After all, the exhaustive method is also a method.

Although there are many things in the cafe, it doesn't take long to touch them all, half an hour is enough.

But in Shen Li's view, the problem might not be that simple.

If this game can be solved with a little trouble, then the so-called "choice" in those red letters just now is simply talking to itself.

That is to say, the real ghost may not be found by exhaustive methods.

In addition to the ceiling is difficult to touch, what other places are more difficult to touch?

Shen Ke looked up at the exquisite chandelier.

Rather than being physically inaccessible, he felt that the real hiding place of ghosts was a place that players like them subconsciously never thought about.

It is safest not to have the real answer in the options.

Is there anything in a coffee shop that is not normally considered a ghost at all?

Shen Kai thought about it, and felt that the most easily exploited is indeed the subconscious mind of human beings.

You have to find that psychological trap.

He took a step and walked up and down in the cafe.

The farther you are from the ghost, the greater the risk of sudden death, and there is no reminder, and you don't know if you are far away.

Ok?

Shen Ke suddenly thought of one thing.

If you look at those three considerations in conjunction...

The farther away, the higher the probability of death, and the closer the time limit, the higher the probability of death...

Once the time limit is up, you will die immediately...

This kind of description is almost like saying... the ghost is by your side.
