Bai Liu stood quietly with his back to the door and covered himself with a white cloth.
He could hear the sound of marble colliding with the door and the doorknob also moved twice. The door was locked and the doorknob was vigorously twisted by the rfolk statue outside the door, making the fragile tal crack. It sounded like it was going to be scrapped soon and even the door started to shake.
This thing seed to really want to co inside. The dead white eyes searched around Bai Liu’s room and didn’t seem to find anyone. Then the room beca quiet inside and out. The doorknob didn’t move for a long ti and the other party seed to have left.
Bai Liu still held his breath. He rembered that when this thing moved around, it would make a very dull noise. It was wrong that there wasn’t this sound. The rfolk statue didn’t leave at all and was quietly guarding his door.
This thing was deceiving him and inducing him to co out. Bai Liu’s eyes narrowed and he found that the peephole, which had been restored to the color of the carpet, suddenly turned white again.
That thing was still there! It hadn’t given up after waiting a while. It still wanted to co in. The doorknob abruptly twisted into a protruding, broken shape and was about to slide down from the door. The rfolk statue outside was coming in!
So of the viewers in front of Bai Liu’s TV couldn’t bear it and closed their eyes.
“It is rare to see a seeded player… what a pity.”
“The main reason is that the Siren Town instance is too disgusting. This isn’t at the difficulty of a novice instance at all. It is completely ant to kill newcors.”
“What is going on? I am still very optimistic about him. A talent with 100 points in ntal value!”
“So what if it is 100? His other attributes are very ordinary. I didn’t know much about the Siren Town instance when I first entered, let alone newcors. The veterans here are bound to die if we didn’t know the weaknesses of the rfolk statues. How much adversity will the newcors have to face before they can pass the instance…”
Bai Liu’s brain was spinning quickly as he slowed down his breathing.
The ga clearly told him that these monsters had weaknesses and players could use the weaknesses to escape from the hands of the monsters. So the current way to clear the ga was to find the weakness that restricted the movent of this thing.
Bai Liu closed his eyes as he recalled everything that happened tonight.
It was a ga so it must be solvable. Gas that were unsolvable were the worst trash. Bai Liu had been making horror gas for many years and he was extrely sure there must be sothing that suggested the weakness of the rfolk statue.
What exactly was it…?
Bai Liu calmly started to comb through all his encounters with the rfolk statues.
The first ti was the fountain outside the hotel. Jeff exclaid that he saw the rmaid statue moving. The movent was silent and it was when the car turned. The rmaid statue didn’t look directly at them but was watching the water.
The second ti was in the hotel lobby. There were a large number of various rfolk statues watching him without moving.
The third ti was in the hotel room. Apart from the huge rmaid statue with the mirror, the other statues had looked directly at Bai Liu. Once Bai Liu fell asleep, these statues started to move. The mirror rmaid moved the fastest. Then once Bai Liu woke up, these statues stopped moving.
Obviously, Bai Liu staying away wasn’t a condition to restrict the movent of the rfolk statues since the one outside the door was ready to break in. The ga wouldn’t have an unbreakable situation. He must have sothing that could limit the rfolk statues’ movents.
If it wasn’t sothing in the room or in the hotel then it must be sothing he brought with him. It was because the things in the hotel and the rooms couldn’t restrict the movents of the statues. This was proven when the statue freely entered and exited from Jeff’s room
What exactly was it?
Mirror… water… gathering at the bed… looking!
Bai Liu knew what it was!
Bai Liu stood up sharply. He opened the door and looked directly at the rfolk statue.
The statue outside the door was so close that they were almost face to face. From Bai Liu’s point of view, the face of this lifeless rfolk statue seed to be stuck to the tip of his nose. Its hand was still on the doorknob and its pure white eyes were looking through the peephole to the lower right corner—it was right where Bai Liu had been hiding.
No wonder this thing tried to co in. It must’ve seen Bai Liu hidden in the lower right corner behind the door. All its movents had frozen. The fishtail touched Bai Liu’s toes and it stood still in front of the door at the last mont before entering Bai Liu’s room. Bai Liu sighed with relief. It was true that the secret weapon to stopping this thing was the human eye.
The crowd in front of Bai Liu’s TV was stunned.
“Fuck! How did he think about it?! There was no hesitation as he opened the door!”
“The average newcor player wouldn’t be able to think of it at all. Even if they do think about it, they won’t dare open the door. They will just look through the peephole. However, if you do this then you will definitely die. It is because the movent of the rfolk statues will only be partially restricted if you look at it from such a close distance through the mirror image of the peephole. This is sufficient for it to break in.”
“Wow, he just confronted the rfolk statue. I have goose bumps!”
“What is his na? This newcor is so aweso…”
A crowd gradually gathered around Bai Liu’s TV.
[168 people are watching player Bai Liu’s small TV. The player has achieved the 100 viewers novice achievent.]
[102 people liked Bai Liu’s small TV, 143 people have saved Bai Liu’s small TV, 3 people have charged Bai Liu’s small TV and player Bai Liu obtained 3 points.]
Bai Liu’s expression on the small TV was still calm like he didn’t think he did anything extraordinary. It was quite simple to infer that the human eye restricted the movent of the rfolk statues.
It was because after Bai Liu went to bed, the statues started to move. Then they stopped the mont he woke up. The only difference before and after he went to bed was that he opened his eyes. This showed that ‘human eyes’ could restrict the movent of these statues.
However, there was a trap here. Looking at it through a mirror-like object would only weaken part of the rfolk statues’ movent speed. One had to look directly at it to completely stop the movents.
There were two types of statues that had moved under the direct view of the human eyes. It was the fountain statue at the entrance of the hotel and the mirror rmaid statue in the room.
The rmaid statue fountain outside the hotel was looking into the water. This ant people were looking at the rmaid through the water. The rmaid statue might be restricted and unable to move fast but she could still move slowly and rotate. Out of all the statues in Bai Liu’s room, the mirror rmaid moved the fastest. It was because she was looking in the mirror and people looked directly at the statue through the mirror. The limiting force was limited by the mirror so the mirror rmaid moved the fastest.
The rfolk statue just now was looking at Bai Liu through the peephole. If Bai Liu looked directly at it through the peephole, there might be certain restrictions but it could still move.
Such a close distance through the peephole was definitely not enough to stop the rfolk from breaking in. If it was allowed to enter, the player would be pressed under the door and the condition of ‘view directly with the human eyes’ would be lost. The player would soon die.
It had to be said that in this case, there were indeed very few new players who could open the door and face the statue. Most of them panicked. Even if they inferred the condition of ‘view directly with the human eyes’, they would have no courage to do so. Only Bai Liu, who wanted money but not life, could show this type of calmness even if he wasn’t 100% sure that his inference was correct.
[The ‘Siren Town Monster Book’ rfolk statue panel has updated.]
[Monster Na: rfolk Statue (Pupa State), Amulet Statue (Cocoon State)]
[Weaknesses: The human eyes looking directly at it (1/3)]
[Attack thod: Incubation.]
The rfolk statue’s eyes were drooping, the head was slightly tilted to the lower right, the corners of the mouth were raised in a slight smile, the fishtail was graceful, the body was white and flawless and the posture revealed an indescribable beauty and divinity. Once frozen, the statue’s chilling desire for occupation was gone and it beca a statue with a great aesthetic value, standing silently in front of the door of a stranger at midnight on the seashore.
[Player Bai Liu has obtained 3 points from the recharge of watching players. The ga rchandise store has been unlocked.]
[Your points are too low to purchase any items. Players should please continue their efforts!]
The players had recharged 3 points. Bai Liu understood a little bit. Soone should’ve given him a reward. In the unlocked rchandise store, all the rchandise were grey and had the display status of ‘unavailable to be purchased.’ He glanced through briefly and found that it had everything from daily necessities to weapons. There were also many ssy things such as ‘intact heart’, ‘potion of love at first sight’ and other items that sounded incredible. However, the prices of these items were very high.
Bai Liu finally understood the words ‘You can buy anything you want with points’ that he heard when entering the ga. Bai Liu closed the rchandise store and stared at the statue standing still in front of him.
This thing currently wasn’t moving but Bai Liu couldn’t stay up all night and stare at it. After this incident, Bai Liu had gained a new understanding of its destructive power. He glanced at the stainless steel doorknob that was about to fall off his door.
Judging from the performance of the statues in his room, this thing might have great destructive power but it could only rely on its eyes for positioning or it was only sensitive to vision. Once covered with a white cloth, there was no room to find Bai Liu even when in the sa room.
In other words, the rfolk statues didn’t seem to have hearing, sll and other senses.
Bai Liu had been in the sa room with so many rmaid statues. They just needed to detect Bai Liu’s vision and they would be able to easily locate him and twist his head like the doorknob. There would be no need to pull off the white cloth and look for him. The ability to twist the doorknob off ant they wouldn’t stay locked in the bathroom and closet.
It was so troubleso. It was really a burden to keep such a large quantity.
His eyes narrowed slightly and a bit of an evil thought occurred. Currently, there was a motionless statue in front of him. Could he do so experints on it to determine its weaknesses? For example, burn it with fire or smash it to death with a stick…
[Tip: If the player directly attacks the monster then it will cause the monster’s hatred value to remain on the player for a long ti. As long as the monster doesn’t die, it will continue to attack the player, reducing the player’s survival rate.]
Bai Liu thoughtfully touched his chin and smiled, showing a harmless little dimple on his right cheek.
“Attacking it directly will cause it to hate and want revenge on …” Bai Liu murmured to himself. “Then it can’t bla if sothing happens to it on its own.”
Bai Liu repeated his old tricks and wrapped the rmaid statue in a bed sheet and rope. Then he unkindly put the rmaid statue onto the stairs of the hotel and returned to the room. The rfolk statue would walk around like a headless fly when it couldn’t see. Bai Liu put the statue in this place so the statue would fall down the stairs by itself.
Under the premise that it might provoke endless hatred, Bai Liu wouldn’t take the initiative to break these statues. It would be nice if he could break them directly but if it didn’t work, it would obviously cause so trouble for himself.
It was just that such a large number of rfolk statues was a big hidden danger. Bai Liu had only one pair of eyes. The horizontal viewing angle of the human vision was only 188 degrees. If he was surrounded by statues on all sides then Bai Liu wouldn’t be able to look at all of them and he would undoubtedly die.
Bai Liu liked to do more cost-effective things. The ga said that it was enough to use the weaknesses to escape from the monsters but he wanted to know if these statues could be destroyed directly in so way or if they had other weaknesses.
The risk was too great if he took the initiative to break or beat the rfolk statue. However, it had nothing to do with him if the statue fell off the stairs because of its poor eyesight. Bai Liu wanted to try a little experint to see if it could be smashed.
Soon after, the statue really moved. Bai Liu was thoughtful. In fact, he was still watching the statue but it was covered by a white cloth and didn’t know Bai Liu was looking at it. This proved that ‘view directly with the human eyes’ was just an objective condition. The statue had to subjectively feel it was being looked at before it stopped moving.
There were so many statues in Bai Liu’s room that he couldn’t look at them one by one. The mont Bai Liu woke up and looked around, they actively stopped moving. Therefore, it was only when the rfolk statues ‘felt’ they were being looked at directly that they would stop moving. This level of self-awareness ant they were indeed living creatures and ones with a certain degree of intelligence, although it seed the intelligence wasn’t high.
The statue on the stairs struggled a bit and fell from the side of the stairs. It fell covered in white cloth and made a loud noise while dust rose. Standing on the stairs, Bai Liu looked down condescendingly. He patted the dust off his hands and made a regretful sound. The statue was unscathed after falling down the stairs. There wasn’t even a crack in the marble. As expected, it wasn’t broken. Physical attacks were ineffective…
Bai Liu didn’t know that this villainous appearance caused the group of players around his small TV screen to be stunned.
“Damn! Is this person really a newcor? Covering it with bedsheets and dropping the statue down the stairs… what type of villain is this? Was this newcor a kidnapper before he ca in?”
“Just now, I was nervous and afraid for him. Now I am sympathizing with the statue who knocked on the door. It is too miserable…”
“I am the sa. He looks like a villain standing at the stop of the stairs like this. He feels scarier than the statue…”
“A reversal. It was the rfolk statue that just wanted to kill him and now he wants to kill it. Does this person really think of himself as a player?”
“Other players are trying to survive the monsters while he doesn’t want the monster to live…”
“Is this the world of a bigshot?”
