Regarding the fact that the 'owner of the house' is Rick Jones, in fact, Bai Ye had already suspected it when he picked up the other party's backpack, and it was not confirmed until he met Jimmy who was pretending to be a monster.

First of all, the presence of two single beds in the cottage indicates that there was more than one occupant there.

And when he first switched to the contemplation posture, Bai Ye also noticed that some of the tableware on the dining table that should have been used with the right hand was placed in the left-hand position.

These two points, combined with the clues related to 'left-handedness' in the backpack, are enough to prove that Rick Jones also lives in the cliff cabin.

In addition, the 'House Master' can also enter the scene below the cliff to hunt down the player, which can indicate that the 'House Master' may be related to the subsequent plot.

When it was confirmed that the blind man pretended by the monster was not Rick Jones, and no more characters were added to the plot during this period, the true identity of the 'house owner' was naturally understood......

"Mr. Rick Jones, don't shoot, it's your own people!"

As Bai Ye shouted to find out the identity of the comer, a new prompt message immediately popped up in front of his eyes;

You have finally found out the true identity of the owner of the house from his abnormal behavior, which is not a hope for you to survive at this time! ’

- System Prompt: Your unmistakable cracking increases the proficiency of the Concentration Stance by 100.

- System Prompt: Your concentration posture proficiency level has increased, and the current level is level 1!

- Since you have discovered the true identity of the 'House Master', the hidden side quest [House Master's Pursuit] is over, and you will receive a reward: 5 points on the escape list and 100 points on the escape list.

……

Now that the situation is urgent, Bai Ye doesn't have time to check the tips one by one.

When he found out that he was being pointed at Rick's double-barreled shotgun, he immediately raised his hands and looked up to see the face of the man with the gun.

This is a powerful bearded man, with a height of 1.9 meters, a strong body, and thick arms.

He was wearing an army-green vest, holding a shotgun in his left hand and a torch in his right hand, and his face was a little puzzled when Bai Ye shouted.

Fortunately, the chasing monster diverted Rick's attention, and the monster's tentacles struck Bai Ye's back from a distance, and was discovered by Rick Jones first, and he hurriedly shouted and reminded: "Danger!" ”

Bai Ye was still in his 'super' state at this moment, and he had been keeping an eye on the monsters chasing him in the rear.

He moved a short distance to the edge of the stairs the moment the monster attack arrived, and the tentacle slam immediately missed, shattering a stone bar of the staircase.

"Mr. Rick Jones, it's your companion's murderer!"

There is no need for Bai Ye to remind him at all, the enemy has already been very red when they meet.

Rick Jones raised his shotgun the moment he saw the monster, aimed it in the direction where the tentacle was ejected, and fired two shots in quick succession.

The bullet hit each of the monster's two thick tentacles, leaving fist-sized wounds on them, spilling a lot of blue, fishy blood.

"Taste the guns, monster!"

Rick screamed as he quickly pulled a bullet from his vest pocket to reload his shotgun.

Frustrated, the monster screamed and turned to flee......

Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately jumped down from the steps, and went around the front of the monster from the side, and even fearlessly intercepted the monster to buy time for Rick.

His steps were hurried and slow, and after finding the creeping pattern of one of the monster's tentacles, he flew directly to the tentacles, and held the tentacles tightly without letting go.

The monster was unable to move, so it could only stop and run, and threw out the tentacles in a rage, trying to shake off the 'fly' that was hugging it.

But Bai Ye's reaction was far faster than it, and when the monster raised his tentacles high, he had already flexibly let go of his hand and landed on the monster's other tentacles in the same way.

In desperation, the monster had to clumsily withdraw the raised tentacles and whip Bai Ye, who was hugging the other tentacles.

But Bai Ye was slippery like a loach, and he had long been aware of all the monsters' moves.

Having dodged away before the attack arrived, the tentacle ended up foolishly sucking on the monster's other tentacle.

But because the tentacles that were drawn happened to be one of the tentacles that the monster used to support the body, so, the monster's self-pumping was a bit similar to the way it tripped itself.

It slammed to the ground, and Rick Jones, reloaded from behind, seized the opportunity to rush up and fire two shots at the area where he had been attacked.

One of the monster's tentacles snapped, and blue blood spilled all over the ground.

Suddenly losing its tentacles to support its balance, the monster rolled and struggled on the ground in pain, screaming and screaming, but unable to get back to its feet.

Rick Jones grimaced, mechanically reloaded the shotgun, and then poured all the bullets onto the monster's other intact tentacle.

Another tentacle was interrupted, and the monster roared in pain on the ground, blindly waving the remaining tentacles but unable to help the two humans beside him.

Rick seems to have the intention of torturing the other party, and when he sees that the monster loses the ability to escape, he does not immediately end the other party's life, but continues to break the monster's tentacles one by one.

Eventually, when the gunfire stopped, the monster's four thick tentacles were severed, leaving only the root of the tentacles on the head of the human body that had been reduced to a puppet.

"Send me to hell."

Rick stepped forward with his shotgun in hand and aimed the barrel at the monster's head.

"Hiss...... Hiss ......"

The monster on the ground suddenly let out a strange hoarse sound, and the human puppet body twitched violently.

Then, like a severely dehydrated deep-sea creature, its skin quickly withered and withered, and finally took on the appearance of a withered plant.

The human body, which had belonged to Rick's companions, also deflated like a deflated doll, turned into a thin layer of human skin.

……

- System Prompt: Your actions add 50 proficiency to Active Stance.

After some entanglement of monsters, another 50 proficiency has been increased on Bai Ye's 'Active Posture', which is currently a level 1 100/200 proficiency.

In fact, with the upgrade of his active posture just now, Bai Ye could also clearly feel the changes in his body, which was specifically reflected in the fact that his body was more powerful, and when he was running, fighting and other behaviors, the consumption of physical energy was also reduced......

"Oh my God, what kind of evil creature is this?"

Rick Jones shuddered as he looked at the withered monster on the ground and Jimmy's skin.

It took him a while to calm down.

"And you, if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation of who you really are......"

Rick, who came back to his senses, pointed the barrel of the gun at Bai Ye as he spoke, "I will definitely treat you as a monster!" ”

"I'm just like you, sir."

Bai Ye hurriedly raised his hands and said, "He is also an explorer who was tempted here by the treasure of the dwarf king. ”

At this point, of course, you can't just use the 'car breakdown' arranged by the game system to convince the other party, so Bai Ye added some content to this reason without authorization.

Hearing this, the explorer's expression was a little less vigilant.

Bai Ye struck while the iron was hot, picked up the [Rick Jones's backpack] on the ground and handed it to the other party: "I learned about your deeds from this backpack, although ...... I committed an unforgivable crime against your dog, but I was really terrified by it......"

As for killing the dog, although it was dark on the cliff at the time, it was very likely that Rick Jones didn't see Bai Ye's appearance clearly, and Bai Ye could have thrown the pot to the monster together.

But he chose to do so at the great risk of losing Rick Jones' trust if his lies were exposed, so after some consideration, he decided that it would be better to tell the truth.

A great explorer can't just let Bai Ye, a big living person, apologize for his sins with death for the sake of a dog, right?

Rick pondered for a moment, his eyes showing a hint of disdain among his peers.

"Humph! For the sake of your desperate efforts to help me destroy this monster, I'll trust you for once. ”

His straightforward personality matched his looks.

After removing the double-barreled shotgun, Rick Jones stepped forward to pick up the human skin left behind by the monster's death.

"Jimmy, thank you for your protection, I finally helped you get revenge!"
