Chapter 17: A Hint from the Bug Nation: Learn from Qian Gu Guang! He is right!

The next day.

The extent to which it was bound by the rules was still severe, and coupled with the fact that the erosion of the house was not deep, the Guiyi could not make any major moves.

However, some slight, small movements were still possible.

For instance, controlling the clock in the house that had long been broken, making it emit a sound that it should not have emitted.

"Clang."

"Clang."

Driven by the Guiyi's power.

The clock rang.

At 3:27 PM, a time it should not have rung, it rang out. "Hm? What is going on?"

The sound emitted by the clock quickly aroused Qian Gu Guang's suspicion.

He turned his gaze toward the direction the sound came from.

The clock?

This clock, which had not made a single sound during the entire day he had descended into the Guiyi Zhijia, why would it make a sound at this moment? Qian Gu Guang was stunned.

Just as an unprecedented sense of coldness washed over him, Qian Gu Guang guessed the reason the clock rang.

It was it!

He had just been thinking about doing nothing, and unexpectedly, it had made a move! 【That thing must have done something!】

【I just came back from other countries' livestreams; other countries, including the Great Yan Empire's livestream, did not have this situation!】

【Without a doubt, that thing saw through Qian Gu Guang's plan, and it intervened!】

【It doesn't want to let Qian Gu Guang pass the early stage peacefully?】

【If that's really the case, Qian Gu Guang's plan of inaction might just be the correct one!】

【...】

The appearance of the Guiyi immediately attracted countless viewers.

Everyone stared intently at the livestream.

Looking forward to the battle of wits between the Chongzi Dome Livestream Room's Detective God and the terrifying entity!

In the Chongzi Dome Livestream Room.

After the brief intimidation by the Guiyi entity, an unprecedented sense of excitement surged into Qian Gu Guang's heart.

Years of professional experience told him: the opportunity had arrived! The Guiyi's probing move would inevitably leave a flaw; as long as Qian Gu Guang could seize this flaw, he would surely become the first Chosen One in the world to master important intelligence! "I want to see what you are trying to achieve by making the clock ring!"

Qian Gu Guang turned his gaze toward the clock.

At this moment.

He saw clearly the time marked on the clock: it was 12:31 PM! "Hahahaha!"

It was also the moment he finished looking at the wrong time on the clock that Qian Gu Guang burst into loud laughter.

He knew why the Guiyi had made the clock ring at this time; it was to interfere with his calculation of the correct time!

【Do not forget the time!】

This was a crucial rule; only by keeping this rule in mind was there a possibility of clearing the Guiyi Zhijia!

By presenting the wrong time on a series of items in the house, such as the clock and the television, to make the Chosen One forget the correct time—this was what the Guiyi wanted to do!

Unfortunately,

the Guiyi's methods were far too low-level; he had seen through them at a glance!

This was the first contest between him and the Guiyi.

He had won.

And the benefit of winning was... Qian Gu Guang had confirmed the correctness of all rules related to time! And furthermore,

he had gained a period of safe time that would not be affected by the Guiyi. "You cannot mislead me."

"The current time is not 12:31 PM, but rather..."

Qian Gu Guang wanted to tell the Guiyi the correct time out loud to declare his victory, but when he spoke, Qian Gu Guang hesitated.

The time he had firmly kept in his heart seemed to have become somewhat blurred... His thoughts went blank.

The Guiyi's sudden interference.

The simultaneous occurrence of these two things caused Qian Gu Guang's memory of the time to fade!

Thinking of this, Qian Gu Guang's expression changed drastically: "Damn it!"

He had wanted to achieve the goal of not violating any rules by emptying his thoughts, but how could the Guiyi not want to do something during the time he emptied his thoughts! He had actually overlooked this point in his carelessness!

Truly damn it!

Qian Gu Guang rose from the sofa and rushed to the kitchen to start deducing the time based on the food.

"The food I have eaten is five portions."

"This means I have spent the noon of the second day in this house, but I haven't eaten dinner yet, which means it is now the afternoon!"

After reconfirming the time, Qian Gu Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he also knew,

he could not empty his thoughts and zone out like before.

Even if he wanted to avoid violating the rules by doing nothing, he could not empty his thoughts and let his brain be in a blank state! People are most likely to forget things when they are at their most relaxed!

"I will not let you find a gap again."

After firmly keeping this lesson in his heart, Qian Gu Guang began to wander around the house.

As long as he firmly remembered the hints on the note.

As long as he did not violate the rules, nothing would go wrong! The Guiyi had already made a move against him once in the early stage.

Affected by the rules.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for him to be affected by the Guiyi a second time.

This is a very precious period of safety.

During this time, he should better explore the unknown areas of the house and find more clues to clear this Gui Tan! Unknowingly.

Qian Gu Guang arrived at the staircase leading to the second floor.

Looking at the staircase that spread upward like a long snake toward the second floor, Qian Gu Guang felt an oppressive atmosphere.

He did not rashly choose to head to the second floor.

Instead, he reached out and felt around the gaps of each step of the staircase.

In this house of only about two hundred square meters.

The places where things can be hidden are limited.

He was certain that he had finished searching for the notes on the first floor, so what remained was the second floor and the staircase leading to it.

Now that he dared not rashly head to the second floor, he could only temporarily grope around the first few steps where there was light, hoping to find some clues in these places.

"Eh!"

Qian Gu Guang's prayer received a response.

He actually felt something on the third step of the staircase! It was a piece of white paper.

Unlike the notes collected on the first floor that contained hints, this was a completely blank Message Note!

"This is..."

Just as Qian Gu Guang felt puzzled about what he had found.

Xianshishijie.

The Bug Country received a special notification from the Dier Shijie: 【The Bug Country's Chosen One has found a special item—Message Note!】

【Message Note】: After use, Xianshishijie can gain 60 seconds of time to communicate with the Chosen One!

"!!!"

At this moment, the whole world was shocked! So.

It was not that Xianshishijie could not cross the 【Membrane】 to establish contact with the challengers located in the Dier Shijie, but that the Chosen One needed to find a special item in the Gui Tan dungeon first!

"Great!"

"With the 【Message Note】, we can establish communication with Qian Gu Guang!"

"We can tell him about the situation on Su Qiu's side!"

As the leader of the Bug Rules Exploration Team who was fully responsible for this matter, Lin Cun Xiao Ci Lang decided to use the Message Note immediately.

He had to provide Qian Gu Guang with Su Qiu's experience.

He believed that the Detective God, upon learning of Su Qiu's experience, would be able to make the most correct choice!

Through that one opportunity to drive the Guiyi to act.

He would inevitably lead the Bug Country to clear the Rules Gui Tan!
