The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 27

Obviously, the secret hidden in the church could not be found out through a simple search, and the one-hour operation resulted in nothing at all.

“At the end of the first day, do you want to pause the game?”

A day in the game was equal to an hour in reality, Yu Yi entered the game at nine o’clock in the evening, so it should only be 10:00 now. The game duration of this instance was five days. Of course, five days here meant that the game had a span of only five days. If one did nothing for five days, it would certainly end, just like the Floating Island script. Although the duration of the game was three days, they actually finished the instance at the end of the first day, the beginning of the second day.

Although skipping the BOSS war was a bit shameful.

“Do you want to pause the game? To be honest, I’m a little tired.”

It was only an hour, but he felt so tired already, as if he spent a whole day in the game. In fact, it was true. He had no idea how the game company lengthened the game duration. Perhaps through hypnosis, perhaps for some other reason. Who knew?

“Well. I have to go to work tomorrow, and a group of idiots in the company lost money on the last deal. I really want to blow them all away.”

When it comes to reality, Huahua began to complain. Her company suffered a big loss in the last business operation, but it was a drop in the bucket for Huahua’s family. It was mainly because her own pocket money was almost gone. Well, for this reason, she had been complaining to Yu Yi for four or five days now.

“Then have a rest. Actually, I’m a little sleepy too. It’s only been an hour… Whoo, that’s it then.”

They began to vote to pause the game. Yu Yi saw that his companions were a little tired, so he also voted in agreement.

There would be a question for a game pause at the end of each day in the instance. After the game was paused, the player would quit the game. The instance entered the pause phase and would not be opened again until the next time all players were present, and the pause required the consent of 2/3 people to be activated.

After the game was paused, all the character cards that joined this instance couldn’t be used. If one wanted to play another game instance, one must create another character card. A player could create three character-cards without in-app purchases and could only hold three character-cards at a time, which meant that the player could join three instances at the same time.

And if a player became a pigeon after an instance and stayed offline, other players could vote to continue to enter the game, and the player who was present would be automatically added to the NPC list. If the player who became an NPC died, then the card would be torn. Well, no one could help it. No one would want to be stood up like that.

He quitted the game and did not even enter the game preparation room. Yu Yi retreated directly to the character card selection stage, and the character card named Yu Xing was labeled to be in an instance. Unless all players came back and voted to continue with the instance, this character card would always be in an unselectable state.

“By the way, Juzi, what I asked you to do, you must take a look at it for me.”

He suddenly thought of the things that had to be investigated, Yu Yi hurriedly sent a short message to Juzi who was still online.

“I know. I’ll go and check this afternoon, but with so many dead bodies, the scene is too gross. By the way, the instance you mentioned earlier is the Melody of Floating Island, right?”

“Well, that’s the name.”

“That’s strange. This kind of low-level instance… Well, I’ll go and have a look first. I still have two hours before I go to work in the afternoon, which should be enough.”

“Okay, sorry to trouble you.”

Yu Yi hung up the communication with Juzi before he laid down on his bed. He also felt a little tired. Indeed he was on the game for only an hour, but he felt very tired. In the past even if he had been online for seven or eight hours, he would not feel tired at all. It was really strange.

“I’ll just go to bed. I have work tomorrow.”

When he finished showering, he turned off the light and turned around looking at the table, on which the eye-shaped ornament exuded a strange glow in the dark.

He dragged the quilt over his head and curled up.

I’m sorry, mom… but I’m, your son, just a cowardly guy… Apart from living like this, I don’t know what to do… I should have listened to your words in the first place, not to learn those strange things. But I won’t give up… Even if I am haunted by nightmares, I will not give up.

He closed his eyes and, as usual, prepared for the invasion of nightmares.

Time went by minute by minute…

The clock ticked in his ears, but there was no clock or alarm clock in Yu Yi’s home.

He opened his eyes and stood up in the ruins. Looking around in the darkness, he saw figures that shone and something unspeakable.

Day after day, year after year, he would “wake up” here and sleep in here everyday. He was baptized by fear and was eroded by darkness. Perhaps Yu Yi’s willpower was very strong or perhaps it was because Yu Yi’s sanity value was very high. In game terms, Yu Yi’s willpower confrontation had always been successful, so Yu Yi had so far behaved like a normal person. If other people had the same nightmare every day, they would go mad sooner or later.

“Oh, what is it today? Tentacles? Fishman? Or a dog?”

Sitting on the ruins, Yu Yi was indifferent to those figures that appeared in the dark. Anyway, they were all fantasies. Even if he died here, he just died in a dream, except that he felt a little weaker after that. It was no big deal. An illusion was only an illusion after all. Well, in this state, it always felt like receiving a call from the sea, but Yu Yi didn’t remember that Cthulhu could order something strange.

Oddly enough, this time, there was no terrible monster in the darkness, but… a strange smell gradually pervaded in the air.

Yu Yi’s rich knowledge told him that this was the smell of ozone.

Some glimmer gradually appeared in the darkness.

“Even this kind of illusion has come. I don’t know how long it will take to bear such a curse.”

The monster today was a life predator… There was no way to escape.

Yu Yi gradually felt that something was going away from his body, and his body was being burned by fire. When he raised his arm, his arm was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his skin gradually became pale with ugly wrinkles and cracks. Probably in a few minutes, he would die by being absorbed by invisible life predators. It would still be better than being sucked to death by a cub with consciousness.

“Try it if you can. It’s a curse, but it’s my own dream anyway.”

Yu Yi felt a breeze, and then, there seemed to be nothing in his ear. The howl of strange creatures sounded. It was like someone was scratching the blackboard with their claws.

He opened his eyes, got up, and his hand had returned to normal. No, it was like he had died and then resurrected. The invisible monster was ready to attack him, but it was attacked. That was to say that it was vulnerable to attacks. It seemed that he should be alright.

Looking up, the dark space had been shrouded in red fog. In the fog, a figure flashed, and the glowing knife precisely chopped the monster within the red fog.

Yes, it was true that Star Color ignored physical attacks, but what if it was a physical attack carried out by an Outer God?
