Life Dungeon Game

The body of the smiling masked man, made of light, shattered like quicksand in an instant, scattering on the ground. The smiling paper mask struggled in the air, the severed cuts trying to glue back together.

He Ao immediately raised his sword and changed his move.

Several more streaks of light flashed by, shattering the paper mask into countless scattered fragments.

Watching the scattered paper fragments, He Ao deactivated his super memory, inserted his knight sword into the ground to support himself, and took a breath.

"You are hurt?"

At this moment, the red-haired woman, who had been stunned by the lightning-fast battle, rushed over. She glanced at He Ao's skin, which was streaked with blood, and then looked at the quicksand-like shadow on the ground. "You killed it?"

"I'm fine,"

He Ao glanced at the scattered pieces of paper on the ground and continued, "It's not dead."

The scattered pieces of paper seemed to be drawn together by something, trying to reassemble.

This smiling masked person is not a flesh and blood creature, nor does it have an energy gathering point. However, under the spiritual vision, the mask is the place where he gathers the most distorted patterns, so He Ao prioritizes attacking the mask.

As it turns out, the mask was indeed his weakness.

This monster's defense is actually much stronger than Levins', and it took longer to defeat it than Levins when Hyper Memory was activated.

Is it staring?

The red-haired woman looked down at the scraps of paper on the ground, lost in thought.

At this moment, she also realized that the smiling masked man's invisible killing ability seemed to only take effect when he 'saw' the enemy.

So when the follower of the Eternal Old Cult attacked the smiling masked man from behind, even though the smiling masked man seemed to have already noticed the attacker's presence, he still turned around to look at the attacker before launching the attack.

The young boy in front of him had clearly discovered this pattern long ago, and seized the opportunity when the smiling masked man was attacking the believers of the Eternal Old Cult to kill the smiling masked man in one blow.

"What do we do now?"

She turned to He Ao beside her and asked, "This mask seems to have the ability to regenerate. Is there any way to seal it away?"

"have,"

He Ao nodded slightly, glanced around, and found a broom and a dustpan in the corner of the living room.

He reached out and swept a few scraps of paper from the mask into the shovel, then handed it to the red-haired woman, saying, "Put these mask fragments into different rooms."

"what?"

The red-haired woman paused for a moment.

She thought He Ao would bring out some mysterious, extraordinary props or magic arrays.

"We'll split up. I'll go check the clues. This method won't stop him for long. We need to act quickly."

He Ao didn't explain further, but quickly said, "Don't touch these paper mask pieces with your hands; there might be unknown dangers."

Even though these paper mask pieces were torn, they were still covered with a large number of twisted patterns.

"Ok."

The red-haired woman nodded slightly, then immediately put away the dustpan and headed towards the kitchen.

He Ao, on the other hand, stepped into the second bedroom.

This room appears to be Alice's room, or at least the room that the smiling masked man prepared for Alice.

The room was simply decorated, with a small wardrobe and a metal rack.

A bed, a small bedside table, and a small desk.

He Ao first walked to the bedside. The bed was covered with neat bedding, and the small bedside table was clean and empty. The bedside table drawers were also empty.

Then He Ao opened the wardrobe, which contained many old clothes, including several dresses that He Ao had seen in the previous rooms.

These dresses come in various sizes, and some were clearly from when the owner was much younger. However, they were not thrown away but are neatly hung in the closet.

However, the men's work clothes that He Ao had seen before were not in this wardrobe.

He closed the wardrobe and walked to the desk. The desk was empty on the surface and there was nothing in the drawers. However, there was a small cabinet under the desk, which could be used to hide.

Clearly, there were many places to hide in this house, but He Ao didn't dare to try.

This house is likely connected to a large number of rooms, but there is probably only one path that leads to the core area. If he takes the wrong path now, he may end up wasting his time.

So even when he was hiding in the locker, he kept the locker door slightly ajar to prevent being teleported away.

He must find the right one among these paths.

While pondering, He Ao lay down and glanced under the bed, but there was nothing there.

The second bedroom was very clean, and there didn't seem to be any new 'diaries'.

Alice is a little girl's name, and all the rooms that Heo has experienced since leaving the hall seem to be clearly connected, if the pig monster room is considered as some kind of 'fantasy' under extreme conditions.

So far, the four rooms that He Ao has experienced seem to represent different environments in which a person was at different times.

These rooms exhibit a certain sequence, rather than being completely random.

The diary entries for each room may actually be a reflection of the room owner's state of mind in that room.

The first room is the safest because the diarist and his brother are both at home.

In the second room, the diarist's brother was not home, and the diarist was home alone, so the second room was "broken in".

In the third room, the diarist's brother was never home, and the diarist had no food and was constantly suffering from 'hunger'. As a result, a large number of monsters appeared in the third room, making the room unsafe.

Furthermore, based on the experience from the previous three rooms, only the first room, which is the safest room, has a diary entry that appears directly.

The second and third rooms are diaries created by the little girl in the red dress after He Ao solved a certain problem.

The second room was where we dealt with the 'intruder', and the third room was where we killed the 'pig monster' that was stealing our food.

In this room, He Ao did not see the little girl in the red dress, nor did the diary appear after he killed the smiling masked man.

Therefore, it's highly likely that the key to the problem in this room isn't killing the smiling masked man.

Judging from the overall flow of the room, the little girl in the red dress is most likely the 'Alice' mentioned by the smiling mask, the owner of the room, and also the owner of the diary.

And this

The smiling masked man in the fourth room where Kehao was located was the same 'figure' who tried to break into the room in the first room but failed.

He appears to be some kind of 'relative' of the little girl.

He Ao glanced at the room's decor. The environment of this second bedroom was actually much better than the two environments where the little girl had lived before.

As his thoughts raced, He Ao quickly walked out of the second bedroom.

He stepped past the pile of smiling masked figures that had transformed into a mass of 'light sand' at the door of the second bedroom and stood in the living room.

He had already roughly surveyed the living room while he was hiding in the storage cabinet.

The living room is simply decorated. Apart from the sofa, TV and other furniture, the only slightly unusual thing is an electronic painting hanging on the wall.

He Ao walked up to the electronic wall hanging and quickly swiped the screen.

This type of electronic wall hanging is still on sale. It is the cheapest model and is basically a basic display screen. Usually, it has several landscape photos built in for users to switch between.

What Heao sees at this moment is a photo of a sunrise over the wilderness, a kind of outdoor scenery that is very popular with city dwellers.

As He Ao swiped the scroll, the images on the wall changed one after another, some turning into stormy seas, others into snowy plains. After swiping through several scrolls, an electronic 'calendar' appeared in He Ao's field of vision.

The upper half of the calendar still displayed the propaganda posters of the Eternal Secret Cult that He Ao had seen before, while the lower half was a constantly changing electronic calendar showing the current date in the room.

October 25, 745

Fourteen years ago, the year Veri's father, Scorn, was assassinated.

He's gaze flickered to the lower left corner of the calendar, where there was an exquisite radiant emblem, followed by a line of smaller text.

[Exclusive for brothers and sisters within the church]

He Ao withdrew his gaze and continued to swipe to the next page of the electronic calendar, where there was a 'group photo'.

The background of the group photo is a garden. In front of the garden, a man with an indistinct face is holding the hand of a somewhat thin little girl, facing the camera.

The man was wearing a simple jacket, and even though his face was blurred, the smile on his face was still visible. The little girl was wearing a brand new white dress and looked at the camera somewhat shyly.

This little girl is 'Alice'.

He Ao stared at the man with the blurred face. He felt that the man looked somewhat familiar. Then his gaze swept over the little white dress with a somewhat familiar style. After roughly memorizing the photo, he continued to flip through the pages.

The painting returned to the first page, featuring a photograph of the sunrise.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked at the master bedroom of the entire room.

There are only two key figures in this room: Alice, who lives in the second bedroom, and the smiling masked man. If there are no key clues in the room related to Alice, then the only option is to go to the smiling masked man's room.

The core issue in this room most likely still revolves around the smiling masked man.

Just then, the red-haired woman walked out of the master bedroom carrying a trash shovel.

He Ao and she passed each other, and He Ao quickly walked into the master bedroom.

The master bedroom is decorated more simply than the second bedroom, with only a wardrobe and a large iron bed.

A bedside table.

He Ao first walked to the nearest bedside table and checked it. The bedside table and drawers were empty.

At this moment, He Ao also saw the paper mask fragments that the red-haired woman had scattered nearby. After being divided into several rooms, these fragments did not attempt to be glued back together, but their color seemed to be gradually fading.

He Ao quickly looked away, rushed to the wardrobe, and opened the wardrobe door.

A densely packed stack of clothes came into He Ao's view.

"New masks are being generated in that pile of stuff outside..."

The red-haired woman appeared at the doorway.

"I know,"

As He Ao threw clothes out of the closet, he quickly said, "Sweep those things into the second bedroom, then close the door immediately."

Upon seeing the gradually disappearing mask fragment, He Ao realized that the smiling masked man had other ways to 'resurrect'.

"it is good!"

The red-haired woman nodded quickly, then turned and walked towards the door of the second bedroom.

By this time, He Ao had already thrown away most of the clothes in his wardrobe.
