Chapter 16: The Man in the Closet
"Recipes: Use this recipe to get dish information. Find a cooking station and follow the steps to successfully prepare the dish to receive a reward. As a side note, the player is in a special state while cooking, and all attacks and damage taken are negated. ”
Bai Siyi recalled the recipe introduction in his mind, and then casually flipped through a page of the recipe in his mind and looked at the information on it.
An image of a casserole immediately came to mind, steaming hot, with a small pot of viscous soup simmering, and several ingredients leaking out of the soup.
"Buddha jumping over the wall: Since you dare to call this name, it must be the best delicacy in the world.
Main materials: sea cucumber, abalone, fish gelatin, Jinhua ham, hoof tendons......"
Before he could see the sixth ingredient, Bai Siyi turned to another dish.
This simple, one-plated dish features red tomatoes and yellow eggs scrambled together, topped with a few slices of chopped green onions.
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: When it comes to home-cooked dishes, whether you're a savory party or a sweet party, you won't get many points rewarded.
Ingredients: All said to be tomato scrambled eggs, tomatoes, and eggs.
How to make it: If you can't even make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, how did you live so big. The specific steps are as follows......"
Bai Siyi skipped this page again, she really knows how to make tomato scrambled eggs, so she doesn't need to look at the specific steps. Bai Si thought that if the ingredients were right, this dish would be a good choice. If you're lucky, you only need to kill two people, and you can do it.
Bai Siyi flipped through many pages of recipes, and skipped directly with a wide variety of ingredients. She found that most Chinese food requires a wide variety of ingredients, but judging from the introduction, there are also many points that can be obtained. Western food, on the other hand, requires relatively simple ingredients and is easy to make, but the points that can be rewarded are obviously not as many as those of Chinese food. Of course, if you want to make a mixed pizza with twenty-eight toppings, that's a different story.
However, there was a doubt lingering in Bai Siyi's mind. In the two dungeon prompts, it doesn't say that the ingredients that fall down must be the ingredients that the player needs, doesn't that mean that if you're unlucky and can't get all the ingredients for a dish, then even if you kill 10,000 people, isn't there no way to leave the dungeon?
There must be some information that you don't know, and it's the key to completing this copy.
While Bai Si was thinking, the corpse subconsciously walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass of the restaurant. The restaurant has an entire wall of glass, and when you look out at it, you can see an open scene: a large river flows slowly not far away, and on the other side of the river is a cluster of old-fashioned buildings, with a towering bell tower standing out. By this time, it was already dark outside, and you can imagine what it would be like when night came, and the boats on the river and the buildings on the opposite side were lit up.
The corpse casually glanced at the downstairs of the hotel a few times, and then Bai Siyi gently said in his heart, "Huh?" "Yes.
Just in front of the hotel, on the ground in front of the European-style white fountain, a few large characters were abruptly written in red paint, and a crooked arrow was drawn. This distance is a bit far, and in the blurred vision of the corpse, the red characters are blurred into color blocks, and they can't be seen clearly.
Bai Siyi's instincts told her that these words must be important. Otherwise, it would not be written in a place that can be found as soon as someone looks from the building to the ground in front of the hotel.
Bai Siyi immediately decided to go downstairs and read the content of those words.
Coming out of the restaurant, into the safe passageway, and down to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, there was silence all the way, and nothing happened.
Bai Siyi had expected this situation for a long time. After all, this is a world where there is only one life, just like a dark forest, where everyone is lurking and observing the surrounding situation, and if they are not sure that they will kill with one blow, they will definitely not show their heads easily. And the first person to be exposed often becomes the target of others. If Bai Siyi hadn't relied on the fact that she was using a corpse now, and she didn't feel pain from many injuries that could lead to the death of normal people, she would never have walked in the copy with such a swagger as she did now. Of course, this so-called swagger is only relative to one's own ontology.
The hall is still a luxurious decoration style, there is a two-story birdcage in the center of the hall, the inside and outside of the birdcage are placed with leafy plants, and the birdcage also comes out of the crisp and gentle birdsong.
Two inopportune questions suddenly came to Bai Siyi's mind, who are feeding these birds? Can I catch it as an ingredient?
The lobby was empty behind the service desk, and there were many watches hanging on the walls, ticking and ticking, showing the time around the world. On one side of the hall, there is a sofa and coffee table.
The corpse's gaze swept over the hall, and after confirming that it was empty, he strode towards the revolving door at the entrance of the hall.
Outside the hotel's door, there are various varieties of greenery, clusters of flowers, and even a few tall coconut trees. The corpse looked up at the top of the coconut tree, and the idea of being out of place reappeared in her mind.
Is there a coconut on the tree? Can coconut also be used as an ingredient?
Bai Siyi felt that he was simply a magic barrier, and he could think of ingredients when he looked at anything. This is really because, deep down, she is very resistant to this dungeon's method of killing people to obtain ingredients.
The corpse walked towards the fountain with the writing on it, and as he passed by a flower bed, something unexpected happened.
"Boom."
A very slight voice came into Bai Siyi's ears, and the corpse turned its head from side to side, not finding anything suspicious.
There was another grinding sound, and the corpse's face changed dramatically, and it fell headlong into the flower bed next to it.
It was Bai Siyi who took the initiative to release control over the corpse. Because she had already understood, these two sounds were heard from her own body.
In the cabinet where she was hiding, there were other people, or things that could move.
Yes, if you can hide in a cabinet in this tool room, why can't anyone else? If you can think of pulling the door from the inside and pretending that the cabinet is locked, why can't someone else? Now, the person in the cabinet next door, Dingli obviously did not directly give up control of his body, so he took the lead in making a sound.
It was too late to get the corpse back immediately, so Bai Siyi decisively gave up the idea and focused all his attention on his body.
Now, I don't want to install that stone eyeball. Although she still doesn't understand what the so-called death vision means, at least she can get the vision and not be too passive.
Bai Siyi took out the white ball from the parcel space and pulled loose the bandage that was wrapped around his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he lifted his sunken eyelids and pressed the white ball in his hand towards his left eye socket.
The imaginary pain or foreign body sensation did not appear. The moment the stone ball touched the eyelids, it dissipated into the air, and the fingers holding the stone ball immediately loosened and grabbed the air, and Bai Si's heart was also a little looser when he mentioned it. She should have tried it a long time ago, after all, this is a game world, and no matter how real it is, there will be something different from reality.
There was another sound of rustling in the cabinet next to him, and as soon as Bai Si heard it clearly, the sound came from another cabinet that was only separated by a piece of iron from himself. Thinking that he had stayed less than 5 centimeters apart from a player in a competitive copy for so long, Bai Siyi's heart was filled with a trace of fear.
The person next to him must know that he is in this cabinet. After all, when the corpse stuffed itself in, it thought that there was no one in the tool room, and the action was not deliberately lightened.
Now the question is, after Bai Siyi was in the cabinet, he didn't make any sound, would that person think that he was a corpse or a heavy object that was put in?
"Oops."
There was another muffled moan from next door. Although the voice was very low, Bai Siyi could still hear it, it was a young boy's voice.
The boy next door probably really thought that something was just being put in the cabinet next to him, so he gradually made more noises.
"It's so sore, my legs are numb." Bai Si complained when he heard the boy. It's so good, my legs are sore, so get out of the cupboard and leave. In this way, you can continue to hide in the cupboard.
However, Bai Si waited for a long time, and the boy kept making more noises, but he did not leave the cabinet. Bai Siyi felt that this kind of waiting was too torturous, and she felt that her legs were starting to go numb and sore.
Bai Siyi measured it horizontally, a boy who had been hiding in the cabinet and didn't want to come out, he shouldn't be tall when he stood tall, maybe she could talk to the boy, the two of them had been in the cabinet and did nothing, it was definitely not a way.
Bai Si made up his mind, pushed open the cabinet door, and jumped from the cabinet to the ground.
This noise obviously startled the boy in the door of the cabinet next to him, and there was no sound in the cabinet immediately. Apparently, the boy had no idea that there was a big living person next to him.
As soon as Bai Si jumped out of the cabinet and saw the surrounding situation clearly with his newly acquired eyes, his mind was immediately filled with a sense of dizziness, which almost caused her to lie directly on the ground.
She finally knew what the so-called death vision meant.
She looked inside both of her eyes, yes, two eyes, and although she only had one eyeball attached, both eyes had a visual effect. From the inside, the cabinets in this tool room and the cleaning tools scattered on the side are all made up of small color blocks. The color of these patches is much dimmer than what can be seen with normal vision. These patches of color are spliced together to form the outlines of individual objects. Under the lighting effect, the shadows cast by the objects are also small black color blocks, and the three-dimensional sense of the whole room is immediately diluted a lot.
Bai Siyi felt as if she had been suddenly pulled from the three-dimensional world to the two-dimensional world, and everything around her made her feel distorted and uncomfortable, and her brain obviously couldn't accept this visual impact immediately.
Bai Siyi forcibly endured the sour water that had already returned to his throat, closed his eyes, opened them again, and shook his head again and again, trying to dispel the discomfort. This discomfort was so strong that she didn't even notice that two disembodied eyeballs had appeared in her originally shriveled eye sockets, propping up her eyelids.
After trying for an unknown number of times, Bai Siyi finally got used to these little patches of color, and then she reached for the door of the cabinet where the boy was hiding. During the time that Bai Siyi was adjusting to his vision, the boy became silent again, but as soon as Bai Si knew, he was there.
The hand "banged" on the cabinet door, and at the moment when the pain came, Bai Siyi understood that in the perspective of death vision, it was difficult for her to grasp the distance between the object and herself, she originally wanted to pull the handle of the cabinet, but she obviously misjudged the distance.
Bai Siyi simply changed the action of pulling the door to knocking. "Knock knock" had to knock on the door three times.
"I know you're in there, don't hide. Come out and let's talk, I have no ill intentions. ”
However, the boy in the cabinet clearly did not believe it, and still tugged at the door from the inside without saying a word.
"There's no point in you hiding any longer, and since I know you're inside, I have many ways to get you out. Did I pry open the door and pull you out, or did you come out and talk to me on your own? ”
There was still no sound in the cabinet, and just as Bai Siyi decided to find a tool to open the cabinet door, a boy's somewhat trembling voice came out.
"Talk, talk about anything, I can talk in the cabinet."
Listening to this somewhat immature voice, Bai Siyi decided not to scare him yet. Bai Siyi simply found a bucket in the tool room, buckled it upside down on the ground, and sat on the bucket, intending to talk to the boy in the cabinet like this first.
"Well, I don't open the door. Let's talk about it like this. I just wanted to exchange information with you about this copy, and I didn't mean to hurt you. ”
There was silence in the cabinet for a moment, as if considering the credibility of Bai Siyi's words. After a few moments, the boy spoke.
"What copy information? I've been in this cabinet and don't know anything. ”
Bai Siyi sighed in his heart, this is really a child with little negotiation experience. As soon as he came up, he told others that he didn't know anything, and if he had bad intentions, wouldn't he immediately open the cabinet and attack him?
Thinking of this, Bai Siyi's tone softened a little, and he changed the topic and asked, "Why are you hiding in the cabinet all the time?" ”
This time, the boy was quick to answer the question.
"I appeared in this building out of the blue, and I walked around the building for a while, and I didn't see anyone. Then a man came, and as soon as he came up, he slashed me with a knife, and I ran here and hid. Obviously, being chased and cut with a knife is not a good memory, and the boy's voice began to tremble again when he said that he was being cut.
As soon as Bai Si said "oh", he didn't know what to say. Listening to the meaning of this boy's words, he couldn't even figure out being teleported, and he had no experience of surviving in the copy at all. I just don't know, is this his true situation, or is it disguised to deceive himself? Is there really such a simple boy in this game world? So how did he survive from the rookie training ground?
Bai Si thought about it for a while, and felt that he couldn't be so soft-hearted, and after a few words from a boy, he believed it.
Thinking of this, Bai Siyi lightly picked up a mop from the cleaning tool beside her, no way, the scissors were in the hands of the corpse, and she had no chance to find a second weapon, so she could only reluctantly use this thing to deal with it first, after all, this thing is long enough, and it is still good to use it to distance herself from others.
Bai Siyi quietly walked to the cabinet door, and slowly reached for the cabinet door handle, testing the distance between himself and the cabinet door. When she successfully grabbed the handle, she suddenly pulled open the cabinet door.
The boy behind the cabinet door obviously didn't expect Bai Si to suddenly get into trouble for a while, and let out an exclamation, because his hand grabbed the cabinet door from the inside, and he fell out of the cabinet because he was driven by the sudden opening of the door.
Bai Siyi immediately took a step back and pressed the mop against the boy on the ground.
The boy looked up at Bai Siyi in horror, and Bai Siyi also lowered his head and looked at the boy's face.
Then, exclamations came out of the mouths of both men at the same time.
It was a face that glowed with a white light. The soft black hair was attached to the head, and the face was still a little immature, and the eyes were bright and black, and they were full of tears at this time. And the reason why Bai Siyi screamed in surprise was that the outline of that face was too much like a person, and the word "white sky" almost blurted out of Bai Siyi's mouth.
"Oh,." The boy's mouth screamed in horror.
