Chapter 86: Weird Giant Tree (3)

 

Gu Yi carefully pondered the details from earlier.

Miss Cat's ability was to transform into a ghost and use psychic attacks to scare enemies to death, but Gradma's lucky pouch could withstand Miss Cat's mental assaults, making her less formidable.

Mr.
Rat's strength was comparable to that of an adult male, but he was smaller in size.
He could manipulate the giant tree with weird powers and summon a horde of rats to attack, but using conventional weapons should be enough to drive him away.

However, even if Gu Yi managed to burn down the giant tree, he couldn't escape his sister's punishment.

Gu Yi still had no clue about his sister's weakness.

“Should I first find a way to free those innocent children?”

In the breeding area, there were many children who had been abducted and sold.
Is there a way to rescue them first?

Or perhaps, I could seek help from other more powerful forces to take down their base?

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yi decided to change his approach.

(Backtracking begins!)

(You stand at a crossroads and head toward the breeding area.)

(You bite your lip, using the pain to keep yourself awake.)

(You arrive at the breeding area.)

(Your breath quickens, and your mind becomes unsteady.)

(You sprinkle the white bone branches with spirit and light them on fire.)

(The branches catch fire easily, and the entire area is illuminated by the flames in no time.)

(The sounds of wailing echo in your ears, nearly driving you to the brink of collapse.)

(You leave the breeding area and encounter the staff rushing to put out the fire.)

(They chase after you.)

(You dash towards the exit while making a frantic call to the police.)

(Most people are busy fighting the fire, and only a few employees follow you.)

(You reach the ground outside and hide in the moonlit darkness.)

(Thick smoke emanates from the ground.)

(You hear the sirens of police cars and fire trucks.)

(Cat and rat couple step outside the door, preventing the firefighters from entering.)

(The police arrive at the scene.)

(Miss Cat pulls the police officer aside and says a few words to him.
The officer then leaves.
However, the firefighters refuse to leave and bravely rush into the underground base with their equipment.)

(Painful screams echo through the air.)

(Cat and rat couple cover their ears and close their eyes.)

(The firefighters cannot withstand the overwhelming mental impact and collapse on the spot, bleeding from their seven orifices.)

(You cover your ears and run frantically towards the dock, with blood gushing from your nose.)

(Dark clouds obscure the sky.)

(You hear your sister's voice coming from the sky.)

(Sister: Brother…
save me…
I'm in so much pain…
so lonely…
sob, sob, sob…)

(The air in front of you cracks as if glass shattering.)

(Endless void rushes toward you.)

(You turn into nothingness.)

(You die.)

(The Deduction ends!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes and sprawled on the bed.

This doesn't make sense…

He has already achieved a seventy percent exploration rate and should have acquired all the plot items.
Why is it still impossible to destroy the unspeakable?

His sister's weird power is too strong.
It can actually plunge the entire world into the void.

No wonder cat and rat couple didn't want him to wake up his sister.
They must be afraid that she will destroy the world.

But wouldn't that be a dead end?

“What if I expose the truth here and let everyone come to help?”

Gu Yi thinks of another method.

(Backtracking begins!)

(You arrive at the breeding area.)

(You take out your phone and record a video of the place.)

(You turn around and quickly escape.)

(You suspect Miss Cat and the police are colluding, but you can't believe it for now.
You decide to upload the video you took to the internet.)

(You enter an internet cafe.)

(You upload the eerie scenes from the underground base, and in no time, it goes viral on the internet.
However, the effect surprises everyone.)

(Netizens don't believe it's a real scene; they think it's CGI or part of a movie's marketing campaign.)

(No matter how you explain, no one is willing to believe it.)

(You leave the internet cafe.)

(You notice many people staring at you from the corner of the street.)

(You sense something is wrong and quickly leave through the back alleys.)

(All those watching on the roadside surround you.)

(You are pushed to the ground.)

(Miss Cat walks up to you and grabs your hair.)

(You terminate the Deduction!)

“Public opinion won't work either, now that I think about it.
When the Weird world first descended, people in the real world didn't believe it either.
They only accepted reality when Weird events happened right in front of them.”

Gu Yi helplessly sat up from the bed and leaned against the window, looking outside.

There were no streetlights there, only moonlight illuminating the area.

Gu Yi noticed a few suspicious figures lingering at the street corner.
They lit up cigarettes and gathered in small groups.

Thud, thud, thud–

Someone knocked on the door from outside.

Gu Yi's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

“Deduction!”

(The Deduction begins!)

(Thud, thud, thud!)

(The knocking on the door continues.)

(You: Who?)

(Voice outside: Room service.)

(You open a corner of the door and find two men in suits outside.)

(You terminate the Deduction!)

Thud, thud, thud!

The knocking on the door continued.

“Open the door!”

Gu Yi gritted his teeth and grabbed his backpack.

He was so focused on the Deduction and pondering the problem that he didn't notice that he was being followed.
He had been lying on the bed for at least ten minutes, and that was more than enough time for his enemies to set up traps around him.

“Deduction!”

(The Deduction begins!)

(The knocking on the door becomes more urgent.)

(You turn off the room lights and open the window.)

(The guys in the corner, holding cigarettes, immediately approach towards you.)

(At this moment, dark clouds obscure the moonlight.)

(The door behind you suddenly makes a loud noise as they try to force it open.)

(You crawl out of the window and hold onto the drain pipe, sliding down.)

(Your slim figure and light weight allow you to land safely on the ground.)

(You hear footsteps behind you.)

(You start running forward and put on the eye patch as you run.)

(You notice red dots everywhere around you; they have blocked all escape routes except the one leading to the beach.)

(You run towards the sea.)

(Everyone is chasing after you desperately, but you manage to be one step ahead and dive into the seawater.)

(You swim with all your might, diving deeper into the sea.)

(You put on the eye patch and observe the movement of the red dots on the shore.)

(They gather at the shoreline, and someone has already gone to the dock to get a boat ready.)

(You continue swimming forward, heading towards a small yacht not far away.)

(You climb up onto the yacht.)

(The people on the shore make a big circle and start approaching the yacht.)

(You estimate they will catch up in no more than three minutes.)

(You find some clothes inside the small yacht and put them on.)

(You walk to the engine room of the yacht and open the fuel tank.)
