Classic revival of infinite games

Chapter 15 2.4 Ye Man's Reasoning

With the continuous enrichment of phone calls and information obtained through research, Ye Man gradually restored the whole story:
This is a small town where there was once a bubonic plague that infected everyone.

One of the ways to get infected is by being bitten by a mouse.

The infected person has a high fever at the beginning, and then continues to turn black, just like the Black Death in the real world, but here it will continue to turn black until it becomes a shadow monster.

The shadow monsters live in the same city, but it is an undead world that is opposite to this side day and night.

The person on the phone called the day here the night of the full moon, referring to the real sun during the day.

The werewolf legend of "cannot go out at night" should not refer to the real werewolf, but to persuade the residents of the town not to go out, probably because shadows cannot survive in daylight alone.

The night in this world, in the eyes of the shadow monsters, is the day with six suns.

Six suns, that is, six street lamps with dim lights.The special lights of street lights are very suitable for the survival of shadows.

All the houses are facing the center of the square, actually facing the six street lights, that is, facing the direction of the sun.

At night, first the street lights are turned on, and then the lights of every household are turned on, as if being ignited by the central street lights.

Her desk lamp has two modes, strong light and low light.

According to the reflections of the citizens yesterday, the weak light is the normal light that appears in the city of the undead.

And the strong light, which is called "fire", also caused obvious rejection reactions from the shadows.

The sunlight during the day and the strong light at night may be the weaknesses of the shadows.

Speaking of which, the desk lamp suddenly turned on a strong light yesterday, putting her in sudden danger.

But she remembered that when she checked the house during the day yesterday, she vaguely remembered that the desk lamp was still in low light mode at that time.

"Did I remember wrongly?" Ye Man asked suspiciously.

In addition, the "Guardian" was mentioned in the call.

The task of the guard team, I saw "fire fighting" yesterday, maybe there are other functions, such as guarding the town and the like.

It's not difficult to imagine what measures they would take if they discovered Ye Man, a different intruder.

At present, the members of the guard team are as follows.

Baker Baker, the weapon is a long shovel, the length can penetrate into the light source, and the cutting is sharp.

Blacksmith Schmidt, the weapon is an iron hammer, capable of bursting out terrifying striking abilities.

Schneider, the seamstress, didn't see the attack form, but it is probably related to the two big scissors, and she also seems to be a very ruthless character.

Shoemaker Schumacher, who has been sitting in the square for a long time, only sees the ability to inform for the time being.

Shadows attack by hitting shadows with their weapons.

The guard team achieves a seamless effect through cooperation, and so far there is no flaw.

"Goo—"

Just thinking about it, Ye Man let out a long cry.

She went to the cupboard and checked the cans: "Great! Good shelf life."

She opened a few cans of canned food to eat: corn, tuna, peas, ham, Mexican salad... .

Compared with the larva skewers in the last game and the boring breadfruit in the last station, the supplies in this game are obviously much more delicious.

"System, you are doing well, I hope the food will get better and better." Ye Man chewed the food and gave a thumbs up to the air.

She ate and thought about several doubts.

One is the identity of the caller.

In fact, Ye Man has already deduced this point—first of all, he is a member of the guard, and then excludes the blacksmith Schmidt and the baker Baker, who were mentioned in the third person on the phone.

Then the shoemaker can also be ruled out. After all, he said "today, I heard that your apartment is on fire". If it is a shoemaker, then it should be "seen" rather than "heard".

Then there was only the seamstress left.

The seamstress obviously has a special affection for Otto. Not only does she call every morning (corresponding to the night of Shadow World), but also the opening remarks are exactly the same every time, repeating "missing" constantly.

The seamstress also has hidden threads, the part that is shielded from the current.

It seems that the missing person that the seamstress cares about is the key to cracking the game.

The second left Otto.In what capacity did Otto leave the town?The living or the undead?How did he leave this prison city?

The third is that Otto's house is obviously not inhabited by rats, and even the shadows of the buildings are normal and blurred.In addition, even the seemingly invincible guards clearly stated that "the process will be more complicated" to enter the cabin.

So there must be something special about Otto's house.This shows that in addition to sunlight and strong light, shadows have other restrictions.

The fourth is the fresh rose in the house. Now it seems that this rose is undoubtedly a fresh real flower.Now it has faded slightly.So in the beginning, who had the ability to put the roses in Otto's cabin at the beginning?

Ye Man ate a lot, clapped his hands, and went downstairs to observe Otto's hut carefully.It doesn't look like anything special.The difference is that it has one more garden than other houses.Also the hallway light on the first floor lost its light bulb which was a concern.

The moment the shoemaker came out last night, she saw it very clearly. It was the shadow of the shoemaker walking out of a door full of dim light.

And the other figures, in Ye Man's impression, also came out of the bright door.

Therefore, the opaque garden and the dark environment on the first floor make it impossible for the mouse shadow to inhabit and blend in, while the human shadow needs to work hard to enter.

Then the third method of restricting shadows is about to come out, that is, large black shadows.

"Daylight, strong light, and shadow." Ye Man silently read out three ways to conquer the shadow.

Night came earlier than yesterday. At 5 o'clock, the street lights came on.

Ye Man stared at the lamp.

The desk lamp automatically reflected a dim yellow this time.

Ye Man heaved a sigh of relief, at least tonight, he will not attract the attention of the guards and be hunted down by them.

Just when Ye Man decided to continue looking out the window, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the shadow of the cabinet inside the house. Unlike other objects, the edges are smooth and sharp.

Taking a closer look, the shadow was actually undulating at a slow speed.

There are also shadow monsters in the room!
