227: Investigator Simulation Event Three 227: Investigator Simulation Event Three Lu Li: “Keep moving back, increase the distance.” “As you move backward, the villager who keeps repeating the same phrase suddenly looks up and runs towards you, howling, ‘Become the Pain Totem, exist forever with these ruins!'” “Thanks to your earlier retreat, you had increased the distance from the monster, but the monster was faster than you, and the gap was closing—you planned to—” Lu Li: “Continue moving back, while speaking: where is your sister?” Lu Li’s initial gear included offensive weapons. However, he seemed to forget he had such equipment, opting primarily for stealth and communication—which worked quite well. Tesla did not understand Lu Li’s actions, but it did not stop him from continuing the story. “Your words struck a nerve with the crazed villager. ‘Sister...’ he muttered these words, no longer charging at you, his speed slowed until he stopped. He murmured softly, then suddenly, as if grasping at a lifeline, yelled at you: ‘Save my sister! I hid her in the ruins, she must still be alive! Please, save her!’ Your response was—” Lu Li: “Ask him why he has turned into this.” “This seemed to hit the villager’s sore spot, his expression filled with immense pain as he recounted the reason he and his sister came to the ruins: one day, he and his sister both heard a calling from the depths of the black land. Every villager knew the depths of the black land were dangerous. But, driven by curiosity and the ceaseless calling, they chose to run into the ruins one noon.” “They passed through the stone forest, hesitated at the entrance of the ruins and, overcoming their fear, they walked in. But it was very dark inside, and when they decided to leave the ruins, they discovered that, somehow, a group of monsters, which seemed to come from the mountain, had occupied the entrance and built nests.” “To avoid the monsters, the siblings retreated back into the ruins, losing their way in the darkness. Once inside, the calling that had filled their minds stopped, and they sensed something moving within the ruins. Out of fear, they squeezed into a narrow side chamber. It was cold there but relatively safe. The condensation on the damp walls provided them with water to stave off thirst, but they had no food. Thus, on the third day, the nearly fainting brother decided to leave his sister and venture into the eerie, dangerous ruins to look for food.” “Initially remembering the way, he slowly lost his bearings as time passed. In the darkness, he felt along the walls, occasionally sensing something brushing past him, or passing by something. He tried hard to keep quiet. Hours later, tired and starving to the point of seeing stars, he finally saw a light—it was the exit.” “Beneath the stairs of the ruins’ entrance, a bonfire was lit, roasting some meat, the irresistible smell of which spread everywhere. To the brother’s relief, there were no monsters in sight.” “He hurried down the steps, tore off a piece of the hot, undercooked meat, and wolfed it down, a vein on his forehead popping from effort. Remembering his sister was still waiting in the cold ruins for food, he tore off a large chunk of meat from the fire, intending to turn back into the ruins. But at that moment, he stumbled; losing strength, he fell to the ground, losing consciousness along with it. The last thing he saw was the meat, now dust-covered, rolling away.” “When he woke up again, the warmth made him think he had returned to the village. But when he opened his eyes, he only saw towering stone forests, the eerie ruins, and around a dozen monsters by the fire. For some reason, they didn’t harm him, nor did they pay him any attention, merely dragging him next to the bonfire. They sat by the fire, muttering to each other in an obscure language, as if communicating.” “He thought he would be eaten as food until he saw the scales similar to those on the monsters starting to appear on the lower legs of his own shadow, finally realizing: he was turning into one of them.” “Perhaps because of that food, or perhaps the monsters had done something while he was unconscious. These details weren’t important; he got up and ran towards the ruins. The monsters still ignored him, but as he approached the stone steps leading to the entrance of the ruins, a cold, evil consciousness penetrated his mind and echoed there.” “Servants are not allowed in the master’s bedroom!” “The consciousness said this, and then he found that he couldn’t resist the command. Even though the monsters no longer harmed him, and the ruins were within reach, he couldn’t enter to find his sister. He wanted to leave the stone forest to seek help from the village, but found he was equally incapable of doing that. The monsters could only stay where the black stone pillars stood.” “Over time, his shadow began to grow, becoming like the monsters, and it wasn’t just a shadow anymore; it had now taken a physical form. His consciousness began to blur, to fade, being assimilated by those monsters, becoming like them.” “In his daze, he retained only the obsession ‘to rescue his sister, to find someone to help,’ but because his mind was tainted by the evil aura, this obsession transformed into something else—what you previously saw.” “In the end, your interaction with him awakened a part of his human consciousness and dispelled the evil aura that permeated the depths of his mind.” “After listening to his brother’s account, you reveal an epiphany, and your gaze towards it is no longer filled with hostility. You then updated ‘Task Progress (60%/100%). Next, you need to—” Lu Li: “Ask him why he didn’t enter the ruins from another location.” “‘I can feel that there is some terrifying master in the ruins... existing. Just a little leak of its aura makes my soul tremble. If I approach the ruins forcibly, my soul will shatter,’ he said in agony, holding his head as did the monsters.” “‘Can you help me? My sister must still be alive, help me bring her out, please...’ He pleaded, his fragile and sad expression leaving you at a loss for words. You don’t believe the words of this guy turned monster, but your aim is also within the ruins, seemingly not conflicting, so you plan to—” Lu Li: “Inquire about the situation inside the ruins and where his sister might be.” The admiration in Tesla’s eyes grew stronger, not because Lu Li intended to rescue someone, but because Lu Li knew where to get what was needed.” “‘You are willing to help me!? That’s great, I... I’m sorry, I lost my composure before...’ he sincerely apologized, then informed you of everything he knew. You obtained ‘moderate information,’ and next, you need to—” Lu Li: “Ask him to help create a disturbance outside to draw the monsters away from the entrance of the ruins, to buy me a chance.” Tesla paused slightly at this moment, giving Lu Li a deep look.” “You decide to trust this brother, who had turned into a monster and attempted to attack you shortly before, to help you draw the monsters away from the entrance of the ruins.”
