"Wow-"

The elevator door opened, and Shen Yu took advantage of the dim night to walk towards the café.

The red map in the field of view no longer shows points of light, but time remains.

It's half past two now, and the second stage is longer than the first, not because it's difficult and dangerous, it's just that the process is longer.

Shen Ji doesn't think there is any difficulty, there are so many routines in this game, the later you go, the more rules you master, as long as you can calm down and think about it, the answer will not be too difficult to find.

At this time, a cold night breeze blew into the mall, blowing Shen Yu raised his head.

I'm already at the door of the café.

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

There were no ghosts, and there was no being dragged into any weird environment, Shen Yu pushed open the door and walked in.

The floor of the café is wooden and thick.

Even though he had walked into the café, it was business as usual, nothing happened.

Could it be that I am thinking wrong?

This thought just flashed through Shen Ji's mind, but he saw that in his field of vision, next to the red map, new words appeared.

[Hello, Shen Ji, welcome to this game. 】

Shen Yu's brows furrowed instantly.

The words are not weird, and they don't say anything peculiar.

But this tone ...... But it made Shen Yu very uncomfortable.

This strange tale included in the [Hitomi Realm], right?

In this way, the one who makes this line of red text appear in the field of vision is either [Hitomi Realm] or the ghost in this game.

But no matter which of the two of them was, it made Shen Ji not so happy.

He had never imagined that the [Hitomi Realm] and the Devil had the same characteristics as humans.

In other words, he didn't feel that the [Hitomi Realm] and the ghosts had any intelligence.

At least they can't communicate with humans.

But......

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

Because the tone of this line of words is very much like a person talking to someone.

It's no longer the signature emotionless voice of [Hitomi], or hoarse and low, difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Shen Yu stared at the red letter in front of him, but what he thought in his heart was - am I under the gaze of something?

Or is the anomaly that is happening right now just the ghost in the café making it?

Shen Ji stared at the red text, and in less than a second, a new text appeared.

[It's your pleasure to solve the mystery of the strange story, and indeed, every question has an answer.] 】

[There is no such thing as an absolute dead end in this game, unless you make the wrong choice. 】

[So...... Can you be sure that you have made the right choices? 】

[This is a game for you, now, you have thirty minutes to find the true body of the ghost in the café.] 】

You only need to touch it, and it will be successful. 】

Here are three things to keep in mind. 】

[One, the farther away 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 time, you will die directly.] 】

[Good luck.] 】

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

Shen Yu was still wondering if there was a mystery such as hiding the head and tail of these words, but he didn't expect it to disappear immediately.

Fortunately, at this level of text, you can remember it even after reading it once.

Shen Ji glanced around, interesting......

My own game is the most real hide-and-seek.

The red text mentions the phrase "the true body of the ghost".

In other words, the ghost in this café is not "humanoid", but disguised as something common?

Maybe......

Shen Yu thought as he turned on the lights in the café.

The whole café lit up in an instant.

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

A bunch of things that had been seen during the day appeared in front of me.

Shen Ji went through the words just now in his mind, and all his information now came from those red words.

It's weird...... This is the first time that a mission has been issued to players in a "human voice" tone.

And those words, they look like they know me very well.

At present, it should not be the ghost of this game who posted those red words, but the [Pupil Realm].

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

Shen Ji didn't think too much, and hurried to search in the café.

It only took half an hour to find the ghost's true body and die.

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

In other words, this is a probability event, as long as you are lucky enough, you can stay far away from the ghost and not die?

In addition, the closer to the end of thirty minutes, the greater the probability of death.

This strange rule completely aroused Shen Yu's interest, and the red text was provocative as soon as it came up, with an attitude of "although you treat strange talk as a puzzle game and are not afraid at all, can you guarantee that the choice you make will always be the most preferred".

If he just scolded Shen Ji for being stupid, he wouldn't be angry at all, but if he made the wrong choice, he would be jumping on a minefield.

Now even if there is a way out in front of him, Shen Yu has to find out the ghost and then go.

But, then again, there's a lot of stuff in this café.

From chandeliers on the ceiling to drains on the floor, from landscape paintings on the walls to landscape plants by the windows.

Each one of them could be a ghost.

Do you want to touch them all?

After all, the exhaustive approach is also a solution.

Although there are a lot of things in the café, it doesn't take long to touch them all, half an hour is completely enough.

But in Shen Ji's opinion, I'm afraid that the problem is not so simple.

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

In other words, it is very likely that the real ghost will not be found by exhaustive methods.

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

Shen Yu looked up at the delicate chandelier.

It's not so much that they can't be physically touched, but he thinks that the real hiding place of ghosts is a place that players like them have not subconsciously thought about.

The real answer is not in the options that are the safest.

What is it in a café that you don't usually even think about it, it's a ghost?

Shen Ji thought about it and felt that the easiest thing to be used was indeed the subconscious mentality of human beings.

You have to find that psychological trap.

He took a step and walked around the café.

The farther away from the ghost, the greater the risk of violent death, and there is no hint when it comes to it, and I don't know it from the bottom of my heart if I am far away.

Well?

Shen Yu suddenly thought of something.

If you look at those three precautions together......

The farther away you are, the higher the probability of dying, and the closer you are to the time limit, the higher the probability of dying......

Death as soon as the time limit expires......

This description is almost like saying...... The ghost is all around you.
