Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats
#127 - Chapter 127 Hide and Seek
Speaking of a "person," Xu Tong wasn't entirely sure.
Because, to be precise, he had only seen a shadow appear before him.
According to the angle of the light, there should indeed be something with a "human shape" standing behind him.
For a moment, Xu Tong was wondering if he should turn around, but then he thought, since the person was already behind him, there was no reason not to.
Thinking this, Xu Tong took a deep breath.
Then, he suddenly turned around!
Unexpectedly, what appeared before Xu Tong was not a ghost.
But a genuine living person.
This man had an ordinary face, easily forgotten if lost in a crowd.
But his complexion was frighteningly haggard, as if he hadn't slept for a week, and his eyes held no desire for survival, only boundless despair.
This man didn't seem to see Xu Tong at all, and after taking two steps forward, he passed through Xu Tong's body like a phantom and arrived at the altar.
But, apart from that, he didn't do anything else.
He just quietly observed the corpse in front of him, doing nothing.
"Excuse me," Xu Tong asked, "I'm delivering a package. Could you please sign for it?"
As he spoke, he handed the package in his hand to the man, but the man and Xu Tong didn't seem to be on the same timeline. The former couldn't see what Xu Tong was doing.
"Alright, since you're ignoring me, don't blame me for being impolite," Xu Tong bent down and began searching the man for any information related to his identity. "You're wearing... work clothes?"
Xu Tong stroked his chin, feeling like he had seen the man's attire somewhere before.
The clothes on this man...
Weren't they the same clothes worn by the headless ghost?
Xu Tong raised an eyebrow, looking at the man in front of him, who was like a phantom, both real and unreal.
This person, is this what the headless ghost looked like before he died?
Why is he here?
Suddenly, a very bold conjecture appeared in Xu Tong's mind.
Regarding the truth of this street, the instance had already plastered the answer on Xu Tong's face from the very beginning.
Why did he return to his house after delivering the letter for the first time?
Why was this entire block only a straight line, with houses only on the left and right sides, and no roads leading to other places?
If the road is compared to a timeline, then these houses are actually the same house at different times on the same timeline!
The instance asking him to throw stones was actually indirectly reminding the players that all the houses are the same house, just at different points in time.
"So that's what it means..."
Xu Tong frowned and instantly confirmed that the house in front of him should be the time before the headless ghost died.
Writing the man's name down, Xu Tong placed the package next to the altar and left the basement directly.
Now that he knew that all the houses in this block were actually the same house at different points in time, another question surfaced in Xu Tong's mind.
That is, why did his own corpse also appear in this house?
Obviously, the ghost woman, headless ghost, and ghost shadow he had encountered before should also have some kind of connection with each other.
But why did his own corpse appear in this building?
What relationship did he have with these ghosts?
As a postman of Qingcheng Post Office, what role did he play in this instance?
This question couldn't be answered reasonably for the time being. On the way to the next building, Xu Tong suddenly saw the house he had first walked out of.
According to the instance introduction, if he wanted to have a good day, he would have to pour the paraquat he bought into his mouth.
If it was a perfect day, then no one would come knocking.
If someone came knocking, then the side quest would be considered a failure.
"Should I finish delivering the letters first?" Xu Tong recalled the content in the instance introduction. "The introduction says 'After knocking on the door, I remembered that my work was not finished,' which means that I have to finish the work before I can take this final step?"
Now Xu Tong only had the last letter left in his hand. After delivering this letter, Xu Tong only needed to return to Qingcheng Post Office once, and everything would be over. He could then take the final step of a "perfect day."
"Let's deliver this last letter first."
Looking at the house number on the letter, Xu Tong carefully avoided the hanging ropes in front of him and continued forward.
Arriving at the building indicated by this last letter, Xu Tong stopped.
The gate of this building, like the building where the headless ghost was, was wide open, as if waiting for the arrival of certain people.
Xu Tong raised an eyebrow, touched his completely numb neck, and walked into the building.
Ding-a-ling——
It seemed to be the sound of a bell ringing, crisp and sweet, a child's favorite toy.
Xu Tong walked into the entrance hall. The whole room looked particularly beautiful. Compared to the previous buildings, the decoration of this building was extremely new, and it didn't even feel like it had been inhabited.
But on the coffee table, there were many drugs piled up, and even a large number of drugs were marked with the word "Danger."
Xu Tong picked it up and found that these drugs were basically special medicines for infant diseases.
The sound of children crying echoed in the building, accompanied by the constant ringing of the bell, making the whole building feel extremely strange.
"Whose name should I write this time?" Xu Tong muttered, "Do I have to write the name of that headless ghost again?"
As soon as Xu Tong finished saying this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
[Your brain has mobilized the memories that were previously erased by the booklet in your hand, and found information related to the ghost in front of you. From now on, the ghost doll will start playing hide-and-seek with you. The time is ten minutes. As long as you can avoid being caught by the ghost doll, you will successfully escape and can successfully escape from the building, otherwise you will die]
Damn it! Suddenly putting pressure on me!
The sound of children crying in his ears suddenly became louder, and the sound of the bell was still ringing, as if reminding Xu Tong that the ten minutes of hiding time had not yet ended.
"As long as I don't get caught, right?"
Xu Tong immediately found a remote place to hide. A strange sound came from the stairs leading to the second floor.
It sounded neither like footsteps nor like human movements.
Xu Tong's eyes looked towards the stairs through the gap.
He didn't see anything.
But the sound of footsteps did come from the second floor to the first floor.
"Where's the ghost?"
Xu Tong could hear the footsteps, but he couldn't see the ghost.
