Chapter 439 [Toy War] The Second Night Arrives

"I see. No wonder those players from the Investigation Bureau were looking at their watches..."

Gao Yi opened his eyes again and concluded in a low voice. He immediately flipped his wrist and checked the main mission.

[Ⅰ: Survive five nights in the department store (1/5)]

As expected, the first night has passed, and the [Toy Wars] copy has arrived for the second night.

It should be said that it is worthy of being a "Sword" dungeon. It is not sloppy at all. All the mechanisms encourage players to fight each other or fight with certain entities in the dungeon.

According to the existing information, it is not difficult to judge that every hour that passes in the dungeon will be "one night".

And the span of this "one night" seems to be far more than one day...

Standing in a new space, Gao Yi began to examine the room he was in at an extremely fast speed.

The stove, oven, iron pot, sink, large metal countertop, and every greasy item with an adhesive layer that cannot be washed away, all tell the identity of this room - a kitchen.

And judging from the size of the various tableware, cooking supplies and sinks reserved, it is obvious that this is not a home kitchen, but the kind equipped in a professional catering store.

Of course, these are just appearances.

Gao Yi took a few steps forward and grabbed the handle of a kitchen knife from the wooden knife holder.

With a slight exertion, the handle of the knife stuck to the knife holder and was lifted entirely.

Obviously, most kitchen supplies, including this one, are just decorations that add to the atmosphere, rather than real kitchen utensils.

This is not a kitchen, but a room made to look like a kitchen.

But where is the need for a room that has the appearance of a kitchen but no kitchen function?

For Gao Yi, who had read the newspaper carefully before, the answer was already on his lips - "Chuck's Haunted House".

Yes, the place where this "second night" was located was the strange haunted house that was opened in a hurry and burned down within a month.

The current time is 1993, thirty years before the opening scene of [Toy War].

Of course, it was not just the strange decoration in the "kitchen" that drove Gao Yi to make this judgment.

There is such a circular glass window on the iron door leading from the kitchen to the corridor.

Pasted below are several old newspapers outlined with red pen, making several reports stand out.

【July 22, 1972】

"A sensational case of missing children occurred at Chuck's Family Restaurant at 32 St. Martin Street."

"According to eyewitnesses, the five missing children followed a 'yellow bunny' doll into the restaurant."

"No one saw them again after that."

"Police have conducted a thorough search of Chuck's Family Restaurant and have found absolutely no clues regarding the missing children."

"The restaurant owner, Mr. Char, insisted that he did not go to the store that day and did not know which employee would control the doll."

"As of today, the restaurant has been temporarily closed pending further developments from the police."

Below there are five black and white photos of children, four boys and one girl, all looking to be seven or eight years old.

It is not difficult to guess from the smiles on their faces that these are photos of their lives before they disappeared.

Not surprisingly, it was their families who handed it over to the police and newspapers for use in locating the missing persons.

Next to the newspaper clipping was a very small column that seemed to be published in a local entertainment magazine.

【October 3, 1972】

“For a brand new local food newsletter, we’re at the legendary ‘Chuck’s Family Restaurant’.”

"The entire restaurant was closed for more than two months because it was involved in a certain case."

"On the first day of reopening, I came to this restaurant with its 'living automatic service doll' as its selling point."

"But the final experience can only be described as terrible!"

“The splendor was overshadowed by limp, slimy pasta, tasteless thin-crust pizza, and extremely awful drinks.”

"And their biggest selling point - those dolls, every one of them smelled like an unbearable stench, as if some animal had died inside."

“Overall rating: zero stars!”

This "Food News" column, on its own, seems fine - nothing more than bad food and bad-smelling dolls.

But combined with the "missing child case", people can't help but feel worried.

Could a doll that smells like "some animal died inside" explain the whereabouts of missing children who have never been found?

These two reports were obviously left by the organizers of the haunted house in order to create a spooky atmosphere.

The combination of these contents also means that the decorator has an understanding of the truth of the "missing child case".

Gao Yi still remembers that the owner of this "Chuck Haunted House" is still the same Chuck. This can be confirmed by the land sale advertisement in the newspaper later.

Considering that 1972 restaurant, it was the same person.

This Chuck's suspicion is already strong enough to basically convict him.

Could it be that putting these reports here is some kind of show off on his part? After all, more than twenty years have passed since the incident occurred...

Gao Yi touched his chin and did not rush to a conclusion.

There were enough mysteries surrounding Chuck anyway, he had to be found.

After some free time, Gao Yi began to study his belongings to see if they had been brought to the "Second Night".

The [Gentleman's Cane] disguised as an axe was still there, and the outfit transformed by the [Mist Mask] was also unchanged.

This was not unexpected, after all, "players" were better in terms of dimensions.

By the way, the two ravens were not left behind, and were pecking at the shiny iron pot by the pool.

The brochure he had taken from the front desk of "Chuck's Pizza Restaurant" was gone, but the "Kant Counter" he had picked up was still on him.

What surprised Gao Yi the most was that the tape recorder he had found in the yellow rabbit doll had also been brought to the "Second Night".

He hadn't even brought this item with him, but he didn't expect it to be here.

It seems that this tape recorder is indeed a key item in the dungeon, and he should be able to find some tapes later...

Gao Yi, who had wanted to sit by the stove, had to give up after touching his hands with dust and oil stains.

At this time, he finally roughly understood the operating logic of this [Toy War].

Small space, fast-changing time and position, and aggressive NPCs........

This is the "Sword" copy of [Doctor]. Even if the level is low, fighting is still the first priority.

No wonder everyone doesn't like the "Sword" copy...

While sighing, Gao Yi rubbed his shoulders calmly.

It's not that he is so leisurely that he doesn't need to do anything at this time.

But he knows that the story will come to him.

At this time, the iron door with a round glass window was slowly pushed open.

Guan Shi, who had not been seen for a long time, came as expected.
