Chapter 10: Difficulty-level main quest
Smack-
Taunai reached for the button on the wall, and the blinding light lit up, dispelling the darkness.
This office is very well furnished, with everything from the sofa coffee table and so on, and it is also very warmly furnished.
As Taunai walked into the living room, a gust of wind suddenly blew behind her, slamming the door shut.
There was a thud, and it scared Tao Nai.
Not wanting to stay here for a second longer, she walked straight towards the locked locker.
Still using a small hairpin to pry the lock open, Taunai quickly opened the cabinet door.
There was a mess of daily necessities in the cabinet, and the girl's eyes were immediately attracted by a bear doll placed in the center.
The bear doll looks very cute, and its button-made eyes are lowered, as if she is looking at the diary she is holding in her arms.
Seeing the corner of the photo in the diary at a glance, Tao Nai couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes shining.
When Taunai pulled the photo out of his diary, the sound of the system immediately sounded in his ears.
[Ding - Congratulations to the player for obtaining the advanced story item.] 】
Finally found it!
Tao Nai's eyes lit up, but before she could be happy, she heard the system's prompt again.
[Ding - Congratulations to the player for triggering the difficult-level main quest and restoring the hidden story behind the family portrait, and the current story progress is 0.] 】
The corners of his lips that he didn't have time to raise immediately collapsed.
Ghost Viewer:
[Oh yes! That's right! The family portrait triggers the main quest of the difficult level! Surprised, surprised? 】
[Non-chieftain players are really hammered.] 】
[So far, no one has been able to complete this difficult task except for the top 10 players in the leaderboard.] Although "Blue Madness" is only a D-class copy, the water is really deep! 】
[Come and see if you have passed by! Someone has triggered a difficult mission again, who is going to bet with me on how long this player can survive? I bet she'll be on a dog leash in less than 1 hour. 】
Seeing the number of ghost viewers in her live broadcast room gradually rising, Tao Nai was not happy at all, but she did not show a trace of frustration, but looked down at the photo in her hand.
The yellowed photo is a group photo of a family of four.
A slender, gentle-looking woman and a chubby middle-aged man sat on the couch, behind them stood a boy and a girl.
The boy with a bright smile on his face was none other than Li Xiaoming. The girl's face was burned by the fire and only a hole remained, and she couldn't see her appearance at all, so she could only guess that she was a girl by virtue of her figure and dress.
Tao Nai guessed that the girl should be Li Xiaoming's sister, because she was much taller than Li Xiaoming.
After making sure there were no other clues available on the photo, Taunai put it away and opened the journal.
On the title page of the diary is written in Juanxiu's font a name, Xiao Ai.
It seems that this is the diary of the girl in the photo.
Taunai flipped the page back.
- October 15, 1980, fine.
Today is my first day in the hospital, and my father said that I am sick, and Director Liao will cure me, and I believe that I will get better.
The first page recorded these contents, and Taunai flipped back a few more pages, and found that they were all very simple daily life, and there was nothing unusual about them.
It wasn't until she turned to the tenth page that the font on the diary suddenly changed, from the original neatness to the extreme scribble.
- February 5, 1981, cloudy.
I remembered everything, it turned out that they were all lying to me! I'm not sick at all! I'm normal!! I'm normal!! I'm normal!! I'm fine, there's another me, she's good too! We're all sick! God, why don't they believe us?
Seeing this, Tao Nai's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but continue reading.
—February 15, 1981, cloudy.
Today, Director Liao gave me electrotherapy again, and he said that there is only one me in this world, and there is no other me at all! I knew he lied to me because I could see her every day. She's the only one who can make me believe...... I decided, in order to escape, I was going to pretend to believe their words.
—February 18, 1982, cloudy.
In order to escape, I did not drink water or take medicine for three days, but I still failed to escape. She was the one who reported me to Director Liao. Why? I believe in her so much, she's another me, we should be the closest people. Pray to the gods to bless us all.
—February 20, 1982, cloudy.
Who's going to save me, she wants to kill me! I don't want to die yet! God, please save me!
- March █, 1982, sunny.
I haven't seen another me today, is that dream real? It was █ who killed her! Hahahahaha It turns out that there really are no gods in this world! I know what to do, and I'll be free soon. Soon, I'm going to ███████.
The date of the diary and some of the words on the last page were smeared with black ink, and somehow, Taunai felt the despair and collapse of the person who wrote the diary from between the lines of the last page.
Closing the diary with a snap, Taunai decided to return the notebook first.
There wasn't much in the diary, and she had read it and memorized it.
And now is not the time to think about the contents of the diary, she should take this opportunity to find out if there are any other clues about the family portrait in this room.
As Taunai looked back at the bear doll in the wooden cupboard, his body froze and his heart beat rapidly.
The bear doll was tilting her head up, her eyes staring at her for some time.
Those eyes were obviously made of buttons, but Taunai saw an eerie chill in them.
Subconsciously threw the diary into the cabinet, and the girl turned around and ran to the door.
Running to the door, Taunai stretched out her hand to pull the door, but the door seemed to be a thousand pounds heavy, and no matter how she pulled it, it was immovable.
The smell of blood in the air began to intensify, and the incandescent lights above him began to flicker.
The room began to change.
The floors and walls, which were clean, quickly became moldy and rotten, the new, clean furniture quickly became dilapidated, and the bear doll in the wooden cabinet gradually became crippled, with bandages on its arms and one less eye.
The only button eye left was staring at Tao Nai with the chill of Sensen.
The little face that had finally recovered a little blood turned pale again, and Tao Nai's back was pressed against the door panel, and he took out the tranquilizer and held it in his hand.
Don't panic in everything, it's useless to panic.
Tick-
A drop of thick liquid dripped from the ceiling above Taunai's head and landed right on her face.
