If this were a game, the designer would be scolded to death.
Kerrigan watched the blood-stained girl in the white dress gradually disappear as she was frantically "preying" on the poultry in the chicken farm. She was angry but also a little self-blame.
There are three "missions" in total, and they all have pitfalls.
If you walk in a straight line, you will inevitably encounter a cliff that you cannot jump over. If you go directly to move flowers, you will definitely be poisoned by inhaling pollen or other things. If you go through the main entrance of the village, you will definitely encounter an incident of wild dogs stealing chickens and fall into madness.
And these pitfalls are impossible to bypass without prompts.
No...it seems that there is indeed a prompt.
At first, the only thing pointing to the wrong route was the diamond shape, and there was no road in that direction.
In the botanical garden, there is an obvious transparent mask similar to a gas mask at the entrance.
As for the last thing, if you encounter a wild dog or something, if you can't see clearly in front of you, you won't be able to find it even if there are prompts.
Therefore, the correct process should be: take a detour in time, wear a mask to move flowers, and stay away from chicken farms and wild dogs when prompted. In this way, the girl can get home safely.
etc.
Kerrigan analyzed it carefully and found a suspicious point.
It only lasted ten minutes from the time the infection broke out after falling down to the time when the infection broke out on the way home. If those plants were really that poisonous, something would have happened to the girl who had been helping. Therefore, the conclusion is that while she was helping, she was infected from time to time.
His carelessness has gradually been affected by the toxins of those plants. Today's scene is just the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Without her own participation, this girl's normal routine today would have been: having fun at the beach and forgetting time, running back in a hurry to move flowers and forgetting to wear a mask, trying to return home while feeling extremely unwell, but encountered
Out of control with blood.
If you can only pass if you can successfully complete this scenario without any problems, then a 30% chance of passing is indeed quite normal.
The only problem is that the Queen of Blades should have been born only after something happened. Is keeping her safe here to make up for the regret?
As I thought about it, the scene rewinded and it was still the sea, the beach and the girl.
"This is just a simple mission." Kerrigan whispered confidently, embarking on the road she had already traveled twice.
[Return to Mr. Imiya’s laboratory]
【Place plant samples outside the house.5/5】
【Water the plant samples.10/10】
【Fertilizing plant samples.10/10】
【Turn on the humidifier and cooler.2/2】
【Go home and rest.】
"Very good." After the girl put the key back under the footrest, Kerrigan looked in the direction of "home", "Now we will see what happens on the way home."
After some previous work, Kerrigan was basically sure that the girl's daily work was not heavy. She came twice a day and worked according to the scheduled plan posted on the wall, while the "Mr. Imiah" would come three times apart.
Let's check the situation in five days.
As for other details, Kerrigan has no way of knowing unless the girl talks to herself "without control".
【Home, 380 meters.】
【Aiming Mego Island.】
[Wild dogs are out and about, please do not let poultry roam free.]
On the way "home", Kerrigan saw the notice on the street sign that she hadn't noticed because it was blurry last time.
Why are there wild dogs on the island? Heh, they are probably brought here by tourists.
Based on Kerrigan's observations of the island during this period, he roughly judged that this is an island that mainly focuses on tourism and fishing. He works as a fisherman in the off-season and as a tour guide in the peak season.
Kerrigan was about to bypass the "wild dogs stealing chickens" spot at the entrance of the village, but found that she had lost control of her body.
"Wild dogs?" The girl stared at the street sign and said to herself: "I haven't seen this notice this morning. Aunt Doris must not know about it. Can I help her put the chickens in the cage?"
Hey! Girl! Think clearly!
Naturally, Kerrigan's voice could not be transmitted to the girl. When she regained control, the mission was also refreshed simultaneously.
[Go to Aunt Doris’ chicken farm.]
[Chicken farm.170 meters.]
Okay... Kerrigan sighed. No wonder the girl was able to catch chickens accurately after going crazy. In addition to the invasion of the unknown virus, her own skills were also an important reason.
In short, if you see a wild dog stealing chickens, you must drive it away first.
Now that she is not too affected by the plant virus, maybe she can see some blood?
After leaving the main road and going around the side of the village, Kerrigan quickly saw a small-scale chicken farm and surrounding vegetable fields. This also slightly verified her previous guess. When tourists from outside the island come to travel, they cannot
If you only feed them fish, you have to enrich the menu anyway, and it's obviously not worthwhile to buy it, so you might as well just grow and raise it yourself.
Kick-kick~ Kick-kick~
Except for the egg-laying hens, almost all the chicken cages in this chicken farm are open. Obviously the owner is not afraid of them getting lost, and these chickens of all sizes wandering outside saw Kai.
When Ruigan came to see him, they all gathered around him.
"This..." Kerrigan was surrounded by chickens and was at a loss. She subconsciously looked at the location of the task prompt.
【Put free-range chickens in cages.0/75】
This amount is too much!
Well, if you think about it carefully, this mission should not be to catch them one by one, but judging from the fact that they gathered around the girl when they saw the girl...
Kerrigan looked around and quickly found the target in one of the cages, a bag of chicken feed that was about the size of grains.
The cage door can be easily opened by someone, but chickens obviously don't have that intelligence.
Kerrigan tried to grab a handful of grain and showed it to the chickens surrounding her. Sure enough, they chased after her with eyes as wide as black beans.
Since this was effective, the next step was easy. Kerrigan grabbed the grains along the way and easily put all the free-range chickens into the cages without even giving them food. As for whether it was the cage where they originally lived.
, then forget about it.
And when she cleared the entire chicken farm, the task showed:
【Put free-range chickens in cages.74/75】
"... Damn it." There is nothing more to say, the wild dogs must have appeared.
Kerrigan looked around and grabbed a pitchfork from the haystack.
Although the ghost's training includes cold weapons, these things are out of specification, but there is no room for pickiness now.
Roar! Roar!
With the familiar sound of chickens and dogs jumping, Kerrigan confirmed that the girl had no intention of snatching control of her body, and walked towards the direction of the sound with a pitchfork in hand.
Half a minute later, Kerrigan saw the wild dog stealing the chicken.
The good news is that the chicken has not been killed by wild dogs and is still alive and kicking.
The bad news is that the wild dog's eyes were red, its mouth was drooling, and bursts of white steam were constantly spraying out of its mouth - the same thing happened to the girl before when she fell into the "eating" state.
Before Kerrigan could think of how to deal with it, the wild dog infected by the "virus" barked and rushed towards her.
——???——
[Loss of synchronization]
Damn it.
Kerrigan looked at the familiar sea in front of her and wanted to curse.
This time the girl herself was not infected, but the dog somehow went to the botanical garden and infected itself, then came back to steal the chickens, bit into it and infected the girl again, and then slaughtered all the chicken farms, one person and one dog.
Why is this girl so doomed? How can we not "lose sync"?
[Return to Mr. Imiya’s research institute.00:00]
【Loss of synchronization.】
[Return to Mr. Imiya’s research institute.00:00]
【Loss of synchronization.】
"Well, that's it."
After standing there and thinking for two rounds, Kerrigan initially figured out one thing.
It is necessary to go to the institute. Failure to go will result in "losing synchronization" and returning to the present moment. However, even if there are obvious differences in other behaviors, such as whether the work is completed or whether the plant is infected, it will not cause "loss of synchronization" except not going.
Outside of the institute, another condition for "out of sync" is infection and loss of control.
Then, next, let’s use the task of “returning to the institute” as the “save point” to test the subsequent behavior.
[Loss of synchronization]
It is possible to go home without doing any work at all, and the road will not turn to a chicken farm, but the task will always be stuck on "moving plant samples out", and because we don't know where the girl's home is, it can only be in the village.
Wandering around, finally there was a violent explosion in the direction of the research institute and then inexplicably lost control.
[Loss of synchronization]
Directly destroying the plants in the institute would not work. When the girl smashed the fifth pot of flowers, the institute suddenly exploded, and the smoke and dust produced covered the entire island along with the sea breeze.
[Loss of synchronization]
It's okay to complete the work seriously, but don't turn to the chicken farm after seeing the notice, but after a while, a large number of crazy chickens and dogs attack the village.
[Loss of synchronization]
It is feasible to complete the work seriously, but not go home directly after the end, and stay near the research institute to ambush the dog, but during the fight the dog suddenly went crazy...
The sea, the beach, the girl.
[Return to Mr. Imiya’s research institute.9:59]
"Very good, then there is only one option, completely reproduce this girl's experience," Kerrigan pinched her forehead - even though it was not her own: "Use that color-blocked situation to bypass the dog-stealing chicken incident.
, go back home."
——???——
"Huh...huh...I have to praise myself," Kerrigan entered the girl's home with her eyes closed and fell on the hard wooden bed: "It's so skillful that it makes people feel distressed."
As for how many times she had repeated it, she was too lazy to count it. She could only say that now she could walk around the small village several times with her eyes closed.
At this time, the two missions [Go Home and Rest] and [Home, 0 Meters] slowly disappeared, and then a piece of news appeared that almost made Kerrigan burst into tears.
【Synchronization completed.】
"Boom!" At the same time, an extremely familiar explosion occurred on the other side of the island.
"Huh? What's wrong?" The girl who just lay down sat up again: "Is it because I didn't finish the work?"
No, Kerrigan, who could no longer control her body, responded silently. Who knows who your boss is? Not only does he conduct dangerous experiments, he is also ready to run away at any time and blow up the laboratory if he disagrees - although he should
It's done by some kind of default program.
"I have to go back, I have to..." The girl stood up staggeringly and tried to walk towards the door.
If this can get out of sync again, I will sleep directly on the beach. I will sleep for at least ten out of sync. Kerrigan watched her movements and made a decision silently.
"ah."
Squeak~
puff.
When she got close to the door, it opened by itself. The girl was startled, stumbled, fell forward, and then bumped into someone's arms.
"Uh-huh..." When the girl struggled to raise her head, a silver pistol was pressed directly against her head.
"Hey, cute little [Death Apostle], if you don't take care of your teeth, you will have a hole in your head~"
The person who came was a woman about the same age as Kerrigan. She was wearing a long black trench coat and a white shirt, black leather pants and boots. She had a pair of ice-blue eyes on her slightly cold face, and she had a long hair on top of her head.
She has short blue-grey hair and a serious expression with a relaxed look.
"What's a 'Dead Apostle'? I'm not... ah." The girl tried to stand firm and stay away from the gun, but her feet gave way and she fell back.
"Tsk, tsk," the woman raised her hand and grabbed her shoulder: "That guy from Imiya has a pretty good eye for choosing assistants. If it were someone else who had been polluted by those ghosts for a long time, he would have lost consciousness long ago and only knew how to devour.
A monster of flesh and blood.”
Yes, that's right, she has changed many times, and Kerrigan talked to her through the air.
"I...Mr. Imiah...Kelly..." The girl seemed to understand but didn't seem to understand. Her eyes were empty and she muttered a few words.
"First of all, congratulations on your unemployment. Your boss, Mr. Imiya, after realizing that I tracked here, blew up the laboratory and ran away with his son. It seems that he doesn't care about you and your village at all.
The life and death of the people inside." Although the woman was explaining gently, the gun in her other hand was always pressed against the girl's head.
"The village..." The girl seemed to have regained her consciousness slightly: "If I become a 'Dead Apostle', will I hurt them?"
Didn't you already guess that there's something wrong with those plants? Silly girl! Kerrigan cursed even though no one could hear her.
"Originally I would, but now I won't." The gray-blue-haired woman didn't know what she thought of. She raised her eyebrows and put away the gun: "I'm going to kidnap you and sell you, so you have no chance to hurt them."
"Really...thank you..." The girl seemed to be about to lose consciousness again, so she forced herself to speak: "My name is 'Shirley', sister, where are you?"
After being sold, you still have to pay for the count, right? As a spectator, Kerrigan can only make comments that no one can hear.
"Natalia Kaminski, a bounty hunter out of interest," the woman with short gray-blue hair put away her gun and took out an unlabeled potion to inject Xia Lei: "You
You can call me Natasha."
"..." Xia Lei has lost consciousness.
"One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain and shoot the tiger. The tiger didn't hit, but the little squirrel~" Natalia hummed a children's song, put the little girl on her shoulder, turned around and left.
Always feeling that the future of the Queen of Blades was worrying, Kerrigan watched silently as the surrounding scene dissipated into white light.
