Classical Revival Infinity Game

There were shadows in the house, but Ye Man was not panicked.

She used the shadow reflected by the front end of the straight-handled umbrella to poke the smooth-edged shadow monster.

I saw it twist away and then walk out of the shadows.

This is the shadow of a small child, with messy curly hair, attached to the ground like a flexible black piece of paper.

Ye Man squatted on the ground and observed it.

It also straightened up and crossed its arms to observe Ye Man at leisure.

It even came up boldly and poked Ye Man's shadow with the shadow of its finger. What Ye Man felt was an extremely cold finger.

Ye Man stretched out his hand and waved, making a "hello" gesture.

It stretched out its entire arm, waved widely, and responded enthusiastically to "hello".

Ye Man pointed at the electric light and put his hands on his hips as if he was angry. Meaning: Was the light on the first day a good thing you did?

Tong Ying was seen nodding deeply, exaggeratedly, as if his whole body was bowing.

Then it laughed so hard that it bent over and slapped its thigh.

Although the shadow was laughing, it didn't make any sound.

"Bad boy, bad boy. You are not good, you are too naughty!" Ye Man said loudly, but it did not react at all to this sentence.

Ye Man tried several more times with various styles of words - cold jokes, weird and exaggerated words, all to no avail.

She eventually came to the conclusion that words could not travel between the world of the living and the shadow world.

Looking back, she only heard the rustling sounds of rats, but not their chirps. When I saw the square full of people, I could only hear the clanging of the blacksmith shop, but not the noisy people.

That phone is the only cross-world communication tool in this world, and it is one-way.

So now, how should we communicate with this little shadow?

Finally, a shadow appeared that noticed her but was not hostile. Ye Man didn't want to miss the opportunity.

She thought for a moment, went to the kitchen, and found cans of corn and chickpeas.

She opened the cans one by one, poured the beans and corn onto the ground, and spread them in a thin but dense layer. Then she stretched out her fingers and made slits in the pile of beans.

The cut-out part is illuminated by the light and has no shadow, while the part where the beans are piled blocks the light completely and is completely covered with black shadows. Through the light and shadow of the beans and gaps, a "small blackboard" is made.

Little Shadow came over curiously.

She wrote "Hi" on the "small blackboard". The child's shadow saw it and waved to her happily.

This method works!

Next, she wanted to confirm a conjecture through this child.

The shadow of this child is most likely the child of a seamstress.

The seamstress has lost a person who is extremely important to her. She doesn't know what chance brought her here.

But it is not easy for the shadow to come here. This is why he was directly deemed missing.

Ye Man tried to write "tailor" on the "small blackboard". Unfortunately, the Douzi blackboard is not very precise and cannot control too many strokes.

She had an idea and changed it to "Mum", then took out the small scissors from her backpack and made a cutting gesture.

The child nodded greatly in surprise and turned around happily.

In this way, the conjecture was confirmed: the shadow of the child was the missing son of the seamstress.

Just as Ye Man was about to confirm his next conjecture, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sleepiness.

She glanced at the clock with her eyelids, it was 12 o'clock.

Her sleep was just like the night before, as if something was trapping her and preventing her from waking up.

【Day 3】10 am.

Ye Man wakes up.

Another rose fell. Ye Man was keenly aware that this was a countdown.

She carefully counted the number of petals on the rose - two fell off and four remained.

When all the petals fall, it means Game Over, and something terrible should happen.

Six petals, six days countdown.

In this countdown, what is her ultimate goal?

Judging from the current clues, this city belongs to the undead, and she, the living, does not belong here. Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that her goal in the six-day countdown should be to escape from the city.

The house she is in currently has little hope, while the other houses are inhabited by shadows.

"Is brute force cracking possible?" Ye Man suddenly thought.

She took out the potato shovel and lightly shoveled the wall on the windowless side of the house.

The whole house began to shake, and a lot of dust fell from the walls.

It doesn't seem to work. This house affects the whole body. This method should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Other methods will not work either.

There is no chimney in the house, and the vents open onto the square.

Ye Man walked out of the house and found that the roof of the entire house was arc-shaped and extremely smooth.

If you want to climb up, you can't even hang a rope, let alone climb with bare hands.

It seems that the game designers have eliminated the possibility of players violently cracking the game in many aspects, but there is still only one way to decrypt the game.

The phone rang as scheduled, and Ye Man picked it up and answered: "How are you doing recently? Whenever this time, I will think of you. Especially after my son disappeared, my heart has no place to rest. The days have become more and more... It's long, and you can do a lot of things. Our guard team has been patrolling frequently during the day recently, hoping to find my son."

The current shield disappeared and the key figure of "Son" was unlocked.

The key characters of this dungeon are unlocked one by one, and the background of the entire dungeon gradually becomes clearer.

Lonely single mother, son, plague, white roses, daily phone calls, endless longing...

Ye Man spoke to the empty receiver and said the second key word of the copy: "Letter from a Strange Woman."

On the other side of the receiver, a smooth electronic female voice sounded as expected: "Congratulations on unlocking the keyword of the famous novel - "Letter from a Strange Woman". Now I will play Mr. Otto's voice record for you."

This time, the voice that sounded inside was no longer the voice of a weird monster, but the voice of a rich man. Many voice clips were played inside:

"Something bad is happening in this city. The streets are full of biting rats. Damn it, I'm out of here."

"Some of the mice look weird, and it seems like using an umbrella at night might help."

"They are all broken umbrellas... I have customized many umbrellas, but many of them are bitten. I am back and need more umbrellas."

"A figure appeared at night and broke the ribs of the umbrella I finally customized. Is this a ghost town? Why does that person only have a shadow and no entity!!"

"No, I'm going to collapse if I go on. A strange woman said she could help me. I hope she is serious."

"Oh, thank God her house has a back door! I'm outta here and never see this damn place again!"

The recording ends here.

The seamstress's back door holds the key to escaping the city.

However, the writer and the seamstress were both living people at that time, and because they were the seamstress's secret crush, they were able to get help out of the city unconditionally.

As an "alien" in the city, Ye Man needs to survive at night, so how can he get help from a seamstress?

She thought of the little shadow, the tailor's son.

This shadow is the key to breaking the situation.
