Chapter 8: Black Kitchen Knife

Boom, boom.

Silent Hills, it's 9 o'clock in the evening.

The dinner of Zhang Yi and the others is over. After eating the pasta, according to Zhang Yi's instructions, Carey began to check the light bulb in the bungalow, and after a while, Carey told Zhang Yi that not only the light bulb was broken, but also the power went out.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi didn't say anything, Zhang Yi knew that the power outage in this bungalow was just the ultimate horror experience provided by "Deathland" for players.

After the power outage, players will have to spend a difficult night in a dark environment, and it will be up to players to deal with how to light and explore the unknown.

In the huge bungalow, Zhang Yi ignored the lighting problem, and called the two companions together by the fireplace fire. Now he had two other things to do, the first was to get a complete and quick understanding of the manor's structure, and the second was to find all the materials in the bungalow that could be used.

Soon, Carey and Alice provided Zhang Yi with a lot of useful information.

Silent Villa, covering an area of more than 2,000 acres, is composed of more than 10 independent houses, and there are warehouses, maids' rooms, potato gardens and so on in the manor. Now the bungalow where Zhang Yi and the others are located is an independent building, and Cole has been living in this place since he led everyone into Silent Hills.

The old butler and Baron Charles lived in an old castle more than 700 meters away from the independent bungalow, and the third floor of the castle was Baron Charles's residence.

As an excellent detective assistant for the London Detective Agency, Carey has a good drawing technique, and under the dim oil lamp, Carey quickly drew a picture of the structure of Silent Hill.

Zhang Yi held the construction diagram and looked at the "potato field" in the structural diagram in a daze.

Not long ago, Zhang Yi received an "acceptable, unacceptable" system task, asking him to go to the potato orchard to find the whereabouts of the "sack", but after careful consideration, Zhang Yi did not choose to accept this task.

The death of Detective Er of the Manor made Zhang Yi deeply feel that in this silent manor, some people did not want outsiders to be too active in exploring the secrets of the manor. Therefore, although he knew that the potato orchard might hide the key clues to decipher the secret of the Silent Manor, Zhang Yi still did not rashly choose to leave the old bungalow, not to mention that it was still raining outside at this time!

In Zhang Yi's opinion, he is not familiar with "Deathland" yet, and at the beginning of tonight's trial, this young surgeon intends to start in a safe and conservative way!

At 9:15 p.m., the system sound sounded again.

"You get a side quest to explore the potato fields at night, please accept it."

At this time, a selection panel popped up in front of Zhang Yi, and several options appeared in the panel: "Accept", "Reject", and "Reconsider".

15 minutes ago, Zhang Yi chose to "think about it again", and this time, after making it clear that the potato garden was quite a distance away from the old bungalow, Zhang Yi decisively chose "refuse".

On a rainy day, the road conditions in the manor were extremely poor, and Zhang Yi did not plan to go out on an adventure at this time.

At this time, the voice of the system sounded again: "The player chose to reject the side quest, and the main story continues!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi looked around the sofa attentively. The main plot continues, so will there still be supernatural phenomena like the "living dead" tonight?

At this time, Carey, who was holding a black kitchen knife, hurried from the kitchen, raised the kitchen knife that had just been sharpened halfway in his hand, and said to Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang, if I think about it carefully, there is still a problem with the potato sack. It can't really contain corpses! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded silently, Zhang Yi knew that the reason why Carey suddenly came over to tell him about it at this time was actually because the "Deathland" system was persuading him to explore the mysterious potato field.

As a player, Zhang Yi chose to remain silent in the face of the system's hints.

At this time, Kaili saw that Zhang Yi didn't say a word, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, do you know what it means to find a corpse?" If we do find a body in the manor, it means that we have found clues to solve the case, and we can apply for a search warrant from the police to seal the entire manor! ”

Zhang Yi understands what Kaili is thinking, but Zhang Yi's and Kaili's positions are different.

As an assistant to London Detective Cole, Carey's ultimate goal is to find evidence of possible crimes in the Silent Manor, while Zhang Yi's ultimate goal is to spend 24 hours in the manor peacefully.

Carey's stance made him reassuring about the possible corpses at Potato Manor.

And Zhang Yi's ultimate goal reminds him from time to time that more is better than less.

Looking at Carey's anxious expression, Zhang Yi finally spoke: "Mr. Carey, I know that the potato sack matter is very important, but you should not forget Mr. Cole's instructions, he told us to stay in a safe place for the next 24 hours and not go anywhere." ”

Seeing that Kaili still didn't give up, Zhang Yi said again: "If you really can't rest assured, then let's wait for the rain to stop before going!" ”

When Carey heard this, he nodded silently, and when he turned to leave, he muttered again: "Wait until the rain stops, what if the body is moved?" As a detective, the most important thing is to keep the evidence......"

Zhang Yi sat on the sofa, holding the map of Silent Manor, couldn't help but smile, looked at Kaili in the distance, and secretly said in his heart, since you know that it is quite important to preserve evidence, then why didn't you think that before dinner, why didn't you think that the sack might contain a corpse?

Zhang Yi looked helplessly at Mr. Carey who was holding a black kitchen knife, and couldn't help but say again, it seems that all the plot advancement in "Deathland" is ultimately player-led, although the characters in the plot have a good IQ, but without the player's reminder, it is difficult for them to complete some key tasks independently.

What kind of person or organization could have created such a mysterious horror game more than 100 years ago?

Before entering "Death Paradise", Zhang Yi had heard old players say that the game system of Death Paradise is like the main god, controlling the lives of countless living beings, and now Zhang Yi looks at Kai Li's disappointed back and has a deep understanding of this.

That night, at about 10 o'clock in the night, it was finally time for everyone to rest.

Carey suggested that everyone go back to the upstairs room to rest as before, but Zhang Yi rejected the plan and said to Carey and Alice: "Now that Detective Cole has something to do, there is a mystery in the Silent Manor, and we may encounter new troubles in the next period of time, so we had better not rest separately tonight, otherwise it is easy to be dangerous." ”

When Carey and the others heard this, they felt justified.

Under Zhang Yi's leadership, Alice and Carey brought three futons from the upstairs room, and everyone temporarily laid out the floor around the warm fireplace, with their backs against the sofa, and rested next to each other.

On the edge of the fireplace, a few potatoes that had already been washed were simmering on the charcoal fire, which was the breakfast of Zhang Yi and the others tomorrow.

Tick, tick, time slowly passes.

In order to recover his physical strength that disappeared in the afternoon, Zhang Yi slowly closed his eyes.

At this time, there are still 21 hours before the end of Zhang Yi's novice trial!
