Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 103: Rest Day



Chapter 103: Rest Day

Gu Yi opened his eyes, the sound of the system prompt echoing in his ears.

Back at the Chongshan Hospital, the dean's wife once told him, "Don't treat everyone like a puppet."

This time, during the completion of the dungeon, Gu Yi genuinely became emotionally involved. Even now, he couldn't calm down.

"Whew—"

Gu Yi took a deep breath and slapped his own face.

The adventure would continue.

Only by fully navigating the weird world and capturing the all-powerful director could they completely escape the never-ending nightmare.

"Come on, let's see what new abilities you have prepared for me."

Gu Yi braced himself and checked the three options provided by the system.

1. Psychological Suggestion:

- Use on oneself or others. The lower the mental power of the target, the stronger the effect.

- Using on others: Consumes 20 mental points, lasts for 5 minutes, and has a 30-minute cooldown. It can cause feelings of fear, tension, excitement, happiness, etc.

- Using on oneself: Consumes 10 mental points, lasts for 10 minutes, and has a 15-minute cooldown. It can increase resistance to mental erosion, boost courage, or physical potential.

2. Phantom Person

- Reduces 50% of mental power limit to create a phantom. Its attributes are equivalent to the character you're playing and may receive additional bonuses from the mental power limit.

- Duration it lasts for is 10 minutes, with a 12-hour cooldown.

3. Mental Spike:

- It can be used on others. The lower the target's mental power, the higher the damage.

- Consumes 10 mental power points, and has a 1-minute cooldown. Using Mental Spike on the same person three times in succession will trigger an instant death effect. This cannot trigger the instant death effect on the unspeakable.

(Note: You can use skills during deductions without actually consuming mental power, but if you use skills during a deduction, you cannot use the "Backtracking" function.)

"Oh, it's so frustrating, why can I only choose one skill?"

Gu Yi scratched his head.

Each of the three skills had its own unique advantages and could stand on its own.

The first skill combined control and support capabilities. If Gu Yi had the Psychological Suggestion skill from the beginning, he wouldn't have suffered so much in the "The Family of Three".

The second skill was similar to his sister's weird power. Its long cooldown and substantial consumption implied that the growth and power of the Phantom Person might be the strongest among the three skills. fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

However, with the current high difficulty of the dungeon, even having an additional helper might not guarantee dominance. Besides, the summoning skill didn't seem to mesh well with Gu Yi's talent of deduction. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

The third skill was a formidable combat ability, probably derived from Miss Cat's weird power. As long as he could delay for three minutes, Gu Yi could kill with the Mental Spike unarmed. Even if it couldn't handle the unspeakable, it was still quite remarkable.

Gu Yi pondered.

It is very strange.

Interestingly, the second and third skills had their prototypes in the dungeon. Yet, the first skill couldn't be traced back to any corresponding weird power within the dungeon.

Gu Yi speculated that the first skill might be the one that complemented his "Infinite deduction."

"The system mentioned that this skill choice will impact future growth. It's hinting at me to choose a minor skill revolving around my talent.

My advantage lies in the ability to find clues and plot props through trial and error. Summoning and brute force aren't my style of completing dungeons. Instead, a support skill with a bit of control effect suits me better.

System, I choose skill one."

A golden light flashed before Gu Yi's eyes, and the knowledge of the Psychological Suggestion skill imprinted itself in his mind.

"Adventurer, you have earned a seven-day rest period. You can return to the real world for recuperation. After seven days, you'll need to return to the weird world to take risks again. Would you like to return to the real world now?"

"Return."

Gu Yi nodded and slowly lost consciousness.

...

In the real World.

One day later.

Above the office building of the Dragon Country Strategy Team, a streak of purple lightning appeared.

Qu Kangping snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, looking excitedly at the clouds in the sky, "Brothers, hurry up and come out, Gu Yi is back."

"Quickly, quickly!"

Ah Jian dropped his work and was the first to run out to the plaza in front of the building.

Boom!

The purple lightning struck down.

A portal appeared in front of everyone.

With his eyes closed, Gu Yi walked out of the portal, his consciousness gradually returning to his body.

"Ugh——"

Gu Yi shivered, and when he opened his eyes, he saw all the members of the Strategy team.

"Er... everyone..."

Clap clap--

The group spontaneously broke into applause, which made Gu Yi take a step back, looking somewhat uneasy.

Qu Kangping walked up to Gu Yi and put his arm around him, "Well done, Gu Yi. This is the first time I've seen you in the real world. You look even more spirited than in the videos."

"Thank you..."

"Want a smoke?"

Qu Kangping offered a cigarette, and Ah Jian handed over a lighter.

Gu Yi waved his hand awkwardly, "Thanks, Leader, but I don't smoke."

"Look at this young man, are you always this formal?"

"Er... you guys are too enthusiastic; I'm not used to it."

Gu Yi lowered his head.

In the weird world, he was a brave adventurer. But after returning to the real world, he reverted to his usual shy and introverted self.

After all, he was just a college student.

"So, are you retired now?"

"Retired?"

"Oh, I mean, have you left the weird world and stopped adventuring?" Qu Kangping said with a laugh. "That's fine too. No one will pressure you. You can still confront the weird powers in the real world."

"No, I haven't retired."

Gu Yi shook his head and rolled up his sleeves.

On his wrist was a black chain, symbolizing that he had only temporarily left the weird world.

Seeing this, Qu Kangping respected Gu Yi's courage even more.

"Leader, can I see my family?" Gu Yi asked.

"Of course," Qu Kangping nodded, "But after they see you, your family can never leave our Strategy Team. It's for their protection and yours. We don't know how many fanatics out there are targeting you."

"I understand."

Gu Yi nodded, following Qu Kangping into the reception hall to meet his parents.

Qu Kangping and Ah Jian sat by the entrance, waiting for Gu Yi.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yi came out just half an hour after talking with his family.

"Huh? Not staying to chat more?" Qu Kangping, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked surprised.

"Just seeing my parents in good health is enough," Gu Yi scratched his nose and said, "Actually, I'm more concerned about matters of the weird world. Did you do what I told you?"

"Of course."

"Is there really a town involved in human trafficking?"

"Yes, your speculation was correct."

"Tell me the details."

Qu Kangping sat beside Gu Yi and explained every detail of the investigation into Huang Jia Town.

Gu Yi raised an eyebrow, "So there really was a girl...and her name was Xiao Ling?"

"Yes, unfortunately, she passed away just yesterday."

"Can you take me to see her?"
