The World of Strange Tales.
Kant Medicine Factory Building 4, Room 44.
He Gu woke up from his bed.
【Those who do not take their medicine on time will not die immediately, triggering a plot death; sticking their head into the delivery port will result in immediate death; the red-clothed girl, Teacher Fang, Personnel A21, and Old Ma have unique plotlines for you, pay attention to the risks and clues; also, if you have time, walk around and look around, the live broadcast can help you find the lock suitable for the four-sided key.】
…
Just as he opened his eyes, He Gu saw this text.
It seems that the command center has obtained some clues from the live broadcast rooms of other countries, providing some reliable judgments.
Of course, He Gu already knew that sticking his head into the delivery port would result in immediate death. With the help of the Eye of Truth, He Gu could naturally discern all the rules of immediate death.
After reading this prompt, He Gu’s focus was mainly on the first sentence: “Those who do not take their medicine on time will not die immediately, triggering a plot death.”
Due to the limited number of characters in the prompt, the command center could only use as concise language as possible to summarize.
Seeing this sentence, He Gu couldn’t help but imagine that some challengers from other countries did not take their medicine on time and then encountered sudden events that led to their deaths.
In other words, not taking the medicine would not result in immediate death, but one must deal with the subsequent plot?
Or, if no one found out that they didn’t take their medicine, would it not trigger a fatal plot?
Thinking back to the various information he received last night, a bold guess slowly formed in He Gu’s mind.
Sitting up from the bed, He Gu picked up his phone and glanced at the time. It was now 6:12 in the afternoon.
Unknowingly, he had slept for a whole day.
After getting up and washing up quickly, He Gu thought for a moment, then took out the red towel from his suitcase and folded it neatly into his pocket.
Since the hidden information said that this towel might save his life, it was better to carry it with him.
Anyway, the pockets of the work clothes were large enough, and it wasn’t difficult to put a towel in them.
After that, He Gu checked his belongings and then left the room.
The command center reminded He Gu to wander around as much as possible, as they could scan the live broadcast to help him find a lock suitable for the four-sided key.
It was just the right time to go out and wander around.
As He Gu was about to leave after opening the door, he suddenly saw something at his feet being blown by the wind.
Bending down to take a look, it was a torn page from a notebook.
Who left a piece of paper at his dormitory door?
He Gu was suspicious and picked up the paper to examine it carefully.
Because the corridor was too dark, He Gu turned on the flashlight on his phone for illumination.
Under the light of the phone’s flashlight, He Gu saw a line of words:
“Meet on the rooftop of Building 17 at 6:30 tomorrow morning, don’t let anyone know, remember!”
Seeing this line, He Gu was stunned.
This seemed to be… Old Ma’s handwriting!
In He Gu’s memory, the eight people in Room 302 wrote in a very ugly manner, and each person had their own distinctive style, making it easy to recognize.
The handwriting on this paper was exactly Old Ma’s!
Old Ma wanted to meet him!
However, He Gu was still puzzled.
When he met Old Ma in the morning, Old Ma seemed numb and indifferent, even a little strange after seeing He Gu.
At that time, He Gu wanted to say a few more words to Old Ma, but he hurried away without paying any attention to He Gu, as if he was avoiding something.
But after waking up, He Gu found a note left by Old Ma at the door?
Why couldn’t Old Ma say what he wanted to in the morning and had to ask He Gu to meet him on the rooftop of Building 17?
And also emphasized that no one should know?
It seemed that there was only one explanation: Old Ma was not able to speak in the morning.
But why couldn’t he speak?
After a moment of thought, He Gu suddenly remembered a sentence in the notebook left by 424: “Where there are people, it can see you, and in places where there are no people, you are mostly safe.”
Following this logic… Old Ma wanted to avoid being monitored by “it”!
…
As He Gu was lost in thought over the note.
In the Blue Star, the live broadcast room of the Strange Tales of China.
The barrage erupted once again.
“Damn! A note as soon as the door is opened? Who left it?”
“Hiss, meeting He Gu alone on the rooftop… could there be a conspiracy?”
“It’s not impossible that there might be danger, but it’s also possible to gain new clues or help.”
“Wait, I checked the live broadcast rooms of other countries, and several challengers from other countries have already gone out, but they didn’t find a note at the door?”
“The contestant from France also just went out, almost at the same time as He Gu, but didn’t find a note!”
“In other words, the appearance of this note is triggered only by He Gu?”
“It shouldn’t be, it can’t trigger a new plot for no reason, could it be left by Teacher Fang?”
“Is it possible that it was the Old Ma from this morning?”
“Yes! It’s highly likely Old Ma!”
“At that time, Old Ma was in a hurry, so it seems that he couldn’t speak, so he left a note for He Gu to meet him alone afterwards?”
“Tsk, it seems that this is a stable move, and it’s highly likely to get a key clue.”
…
At the same time.
The official agencies of various countries that were dealing with the Strange Tales event were alarmed when they saw the situation on He Gu’s side.
“Damn it! Why can people from China get new clues!””It must be the roommate we encountered this morning! Quick, find a way to notify our challenger, find a way to locate that roommate!”
“But we can only send text hints, and the roommate didn’t reveal their number. Just based on a description of their appearance… it’s going to be hard for our challenger to find the right person!”
“I think everyone should not panic just yet. Let’s see what happens after the challenger from China meets that person before we decide what to do next!”
“Indeed, we can only send three hints, so we need to use them sparingly. Don’t forget, in the last instance, the remaining challengers from the other two countries ran out of hints. Even though they knew it was a dead end, they could only watch helplessly as their own challengers walked towards death…”
…
As the only challenger who survived the last instance and continued the challenge, He Gu’s situation was closely monitored by all countries at all times.
Unknowingly, He Gu once again became the blueprint for other countries to reference, with some smaller countries simply using He Gu’s actions as the answer key, deciding to closely follow in his footsteps.
…
The World of Strange Tales.
After some contemplation, He Gu had a rough guess in his mind. He carefully stored the note and decided to take a stroll first, while also looking for Building 17 to scout the location in advance.
The corridor was dimly lit, and He Gu continued to use his phone’s flashlight for illumination, slowly walking forward.
However, after only a few steps, He Gu suddenly heard a faint meow coming from the dark corridor ahead.
“Meow~”
Following that, several more meows echoed.
He Gu looked carefully and saw in the dark corner ahead, several pairs of gleaming green eyes twinkling. Three yellow and white cats were rolling around in the corner.
