<h4>Chapter 58: Picking Up Sister from School (2)</h4>


    <i>What does the anonymous user mean?</i>


    <i>Why did they give me a warning?</i>


    <i>Why did I suddenly appear on the street and got hit by a truck?</i>


    <i>Who is the anonymous user?</i>


    It''s too sudden...


    Not a single clue.


    <i>Do I have to rely solely on intuition to figure it out?</i>


    Gu Yi furrowed his brow.


    His mind was now a tangled mess and he needed to organize his thoughts.


    He took out a pen and paper from his backpack and wrote down all the puzzles he had encountered, arranging them in order of important and urgent, as well as important but not urgent.


    <strong>Important and urgent:</strong>


    <i>1. How was the instant death g triggered resulting in a truck ident?</i>


    <i>2. How can I see my sister?</i>


    <i>3. How to make use of and understand the information from the anonymous user?</i>


    <strong>Important but not urgent:</strong>


    <i>1. The secret of the old house.</i>


    <i>2. Who is the "ghost" in the family of three? Are the characters in the dungeon such as parents or sister trustworthy?</i>


    <i>3. Theplete rules of the countdown.</i>


    <i>4. The true identity of the anonymous user and the faction they belong to.</i>


    Gu Yi folded the bottom half of the paper and focused on the top half.


    <i>1. How was the instant death g triggered resulting in the truck ident?</i>


    In fact, Gu Yi already had some answers.


    When he was picking up his sister, he didn''t engage in any interaction with her. Just like when he left the house without asking his sister any questions, it triggered the instant death g.


    However, Gu Yi had no idea how to interact with thin air.


    <i>If his interaction with his sister seemed incongruent to others, would the problem be even more severe?</i>


    He can only use deduction to verify this question.


    <i>2. How can I see my sister?</i>


    This point was extremely urgent.


    If he don''t know how to interact andmunicate with his sister, then more instant death gs like this would ur in the future, and he would eventually die due to negligence.


    So far, Gu Yi had never discussed his sister''s situation with any of the characters in the story. He needed to gather information about his sister from various sources.


    <i>3. How to make use of and understand the information from the anonymous user?</i>


    First, before encountering the instant death g, the anonymous user had given him a hint to escape. From this perspective, the anonymous user could temporarily be considered as part of his faction.


    Second, the anonymous user could onlymunicate with him in one direction, and Gu Yi currently couldn''t interact with ormunicate back to the anonymous user. Gu Yi believed that the anonymous user would be a key figure in the dungeon.


    Third, finding a method tomunicate with the anonymous user was one of his uing goals.


    "That''s all the information for now."


    Gu Yi looked at the notes on the paper and let out a long sigh of relief.


    If he couldn''t find any hint notes in the dungeon, then he could only rely on his own exploration and summarize all the patterns in the dungeon.


    "Let''s deduce!"


    (The deduction begins!)


    (You enter the elementary school.)


    (The countdown starts again.)


    (You arrive at the ssroom where your sister is.)


    (The female teacher sees you and immediately stands up to greet you.)


    (Female Teacher: Oh? You must be Gu Yao''s brother?)


    (You: Hello, teacher. I''m Gu Yi. Where is my sister?)


    (Female Teacher: Isn''t she right here? She''s been waiting for you for a long time.)


    (The female teacher waves her hand towards the empty space and walks towards you, holding thin air.)


    (You: Has Yao Yao been behaving well today?)


    (The female teacher nces at the empty space.)


    (Female Teacher: Hehe, of course, she''s been very well-behaved.)


    (You: That''s good.)


    (You chat with the female teacher for a while, and she gradually opens up to you.)


    (Female Teacher: Has something happened in your family recently?)


    (You: Why do you ask?)


    (Female Teacher: Well...e with me for a moment. Yao Yao, you wait here. I''ll be back soon.)


    (The female teacher takes you to the office and takes out a drawing from a pile of assignments.)


    (Female Teacher: This is her artwork from today''s art ss. I feel like she may be facing some psychological issues recently. You should talk to your parents about it.)


    (You pick up the drawing.)


    (On it is a man lying on the ground with his head smashed like a watermelon, with arge truck parked next to him.)


    (Your phone rings.)


    (You open it and check.)


    (The anonymous user has sent a photo, and theposition of the photo is exactly the same as your sister''s artwork.)


    (Your fingers tremble as you turn off the phone and put it in your pocket.)


    (Female Teacher: Oh? Yao Yao, how did youe here?)


    (You turn to look at the office door, but you see nothing.)


    (Female Teacher: It seems like Yao Yao couldn''t wait any longer.)


    (You: Teacher, we''ll go now.)


    (Female Teacher: Goodbye.)


    (You walk out of the office and reach out to thin air.)


    (You feel a chilling breeze.)


    (You remain silent for a moment.)


    (You: Let''s go home.)


    (No response.)


    (You: Did you learn something new at school today?)


    (You still cannot hear any sound.)


    (Your phone rings again.)


    (You take it out and check. The anonymous user has sent you another message.)


    ([Be careful.])


    (You look up.)


    (You are back to the entrance of the elementary school, and arge truck is rushing towards you.)


    (You terminate the deduction!)


    "Is my way of interaction wrong?"


    Gu Yi frowned and shook his head slightly.


    The photo sent by the anonymous user sent shivers down Gu Yi''s spine.


    After contemting for a moment, Gu Yi made a bold assumption.


    The anonymous user is someone from another parallel timeline—perhaps even his sister from the parallel timeline.


    The diary of his sister.


    The photo of "I" being hit by a car.


    Both of these pieces of evidence prove one thing: in the world of the anonymous user, the person who dies is "I" that is me.


    "It''s useless. Even if my assumption is correct, it''s of no use in the current situation. The important thing is how to interact with my sister. I''m already trying my best tomunicate with her."


    Gu Yi grits his teeth and ponders for a moment.


    <i>Think about it, why didn''t the previous interactions trigger the instant death g?</i>


    <i>But this time it did?</i>


    <i>Could it be...</i>


    <i>Could the reason be this?</i>


    "I understand now, let''s backtrack!"


    (Backtracking deduction begins!)


    (You stand in the teacher''s office holding your sister''s artwork.)


    (Female Teacher: It seems like Yao Yao couldn''t wait any longer.)


    (You turn back and wave at the empty space.)


    (You: Come here, Yao Yao.)


    (You hear footsteps.)


    (You hold the artwork and show it to your sister.)


    (You: Why did you draw this?)


    (The expression on the female teacher''s face changes, and she quickly squats in front of your sister, pretending to wipe away her tears.)


    (Female Teacher: Alright, alright. Your brother isn''t ming you, he''s just concerned about you.)


    (You squat in front of the empty space.)


    (You: Okay, I didn''t mean that. Don''t cry, okay?)


    (You nce at the female teacher, and her tense expression finally rxes.)


    (Female Teacher: Yao Yao, don''t be afraid.)


    (The female teacher opens her arms and gently hugs the empty space.)
