Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 43: The Deal with I's Mother (3)

Chapter 43: The Deal with I's Mother (3)

(Your vision is pitch black.)

(You can't perceive anything.)

(You wait in the void for half an hour, but nothing happens.)

(You terminate the deduction.)

Gu Yi opened his eyes and frustratedly rubbed his head.

"What's going on?"

Supporting his chin, Gu Yi pondered carefully.

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation during his deductions.

Normally, even if he triggered a death flag, his talent would still simulate the scene of his demise.

However, this time, he lost all perception, as if he had fallen into a void.

He had waited in complete emptiness for half an hour, and still, nothing happened.

"Calm down and think about the reasons."

Gu Yi took a deep breath and silently contemplated, summarizing the clues he had gathered.

1. "I's" mother could be killed, and he has just deducted the safest and most effective method to do so.

2. After killing "I's" mother, he can obtain a red access card from the doll.

3. Using the red access card, he can enter the hospital's inner world, the third basement.

4. On the third basement, he will encounter "I," that is Toto, who looked identical to him.

5. After watching "Monster Siege" in Toto's theatre, he will be trapped in a void. The theatre seemed to be an unsafe place.

Gu Yi recalled everything he had experienced and considered if he had overlooked any clues that hindered his progress.

"No, there's only this last path."

Gu Yi shook his head with determination.

He had recollected all his experiences and deducted scenarios, ultimately concluding that the theatre on the hospital's third basement was the only lead.

But...

Why did I end up in a void while watching the movie?

No!

It wasn't a void.

Gu Yi suddenly understood the crucial point.

During these days, he had become overly reliant on his talent of infinite deduction, to the point where he forgot that his talent also had limitations.

-- Infinite deduction couldn't simulate anything related to the "Weird World" system!

Whenever he made progress in the dungeon process and received rewards from the system, his infinite deduction couldn't calculate those aspects.

It was an inevitable limitation because the talent of infinite deduction was originally bestowed upon him by the Weird World system.

Recalling the appearance of the red access card, he could understand it better.

The front of the access card depicted the logo of the "Weird World" live broadcast channel, which was a clear hint.

In that underground theater, Gu Yi might not only collect clues about the dungeon world but can also learn about the entire Weird World. Hence, he couldn't utilize his talent to speculate the details within it.

To explore the underground theatre, Gu Yi had to go there personally.

"Phew, it's not a big deal."

Gu Yi let out a long sigh and put on the bird mask, walking out of the toilet.

First, he stole a box of pills and hid them inside "I's" mother's corpse.

Then, he put on Toto's handmade mask and went skillfully to the secret room in the second basement.

This time, Gu Yi was facing "I's" mother in reality. Although he had interacted with her many times before, facing her in person still evoked a suffocating feeling deep in his soul.

"Who are you? Why do you have Toto's mask?"

"It doesn't matter who I am," Gu Yi cut straight to the point. "I can give you back your corpse, but the condition is that you must give me your doll."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mother looked confused, even her hair behind her eerily floated in the air.

Gu Yi felt no fear. As long as he wore Toto's mask, Toto's mother wouldn't harm him in the slightest.

Snap!

Gu Yi took out his mother's corpse from his kangaroo pants, and Toto's mother immediately panicked.

"This is... this is my body, I can feel it!"

"So, can we discuss the terms now?"

"I have nothing to discuss with you!"

Gu Yi sneered, stepping on the corpse, and lifted the hammer towards his own mask. "I don't want to waste time with you. Are you willing to make the exchange or not?"

"Wait, I agree!"

Mother immediately dropped her intimidating demeanor and reverted to her human form.

She felt extremely strange.

She had clearly encountered this man for the first time, yet he seemed to have met her before.

He always seemed to predict her actions in advance, even her inner thoughts were clear to him.

"I's" Mother suspected there was deception involved.

But she had no choice but to agree to his demands.

Without reclaiming her body, she would be trapped here forever.

"Recieve with one hand, deliver with the other."

Toto's Mother tossed her doll.

Gu Yi caught the doll and casually placed the corpse on the floor.

Gu Yi tucked the doll into his pants and coldly watched as Toto's mother swallowed her own corpse.

"Ah, I've finally regained my strength. I'm going to... kill you!"

Toto's Mother suddenly transformed into a monster, extending black claws toward Gu Yi.

Gu Yi calmly stood his ground, gazing into Toto's mother's eyes with a mocking smile.

"Why? Are you poisoned?"

Mother clutched her stomach, collapsing on the ground, gradually losing strength.

Foam foamed from her mouth, her body convulsed, and she lost consciousness.

Gu Yi took out the hammer, prepared to do as he did in his deduction, smashing "I's" mother's head.

"Good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds have consequences. She wanted to kill me, but in the end, she was poisoned to death by drugs. She has received the retribution she deserves. There's no need to be so ruthless."

Gu Yi remembered the words on the mask and ultimately put away the hammer.

—In this replica, one must never resort to extreme measures.

Gu Yi tore open the doll and retrieved the red access card from inside, confirming the prompt from the system.

"You have obtained a special plot item in the dungeon: Red Access Card."

"Your plot exploration level has increased."

"Current exploration progress: 67%."

"You can choose one reward from the following options."

"1. Increase your strength by 10%."

"2. Increase your agility by 10%."

"3. Increase your stamina by 10%."

Seeing these rewards, Gu Yi's face immediately fell. "How unlucky! This is a decryption-type dungeon, what use is enhancing physical attributes? Why can't it reward me with enhanced mental power?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Yi ultimately chose to strengthen his stamina by 10%.

In the next moment, a white light flashed before Gu Yi's eyes, and he felt his body rejuvenated as if he had become much more comfortable all over. Gu Yi opened his clothes and glanced at himself. Even the black fur on his body seemed to have reduced.

"So that's how it is. Enhancing stamina can also increase my resistance to illness. In the end, my current condition is similar to being sick. It seems I made the right choice in enhancing stamina."

Gu Yi let out a long sigh of relief, clutching the red access card in his hand, and headed for the nearest elevator.
