68: Chapter 68 Return to Zero

"Wait, brother, don't kill me yet. How about... we play a game, the two of us?"

At the same time, Chen Mo tossed that coin up again.

The coin spun in the air and landed in Chen Mo's palm.

Amy was the key person most likely to be hiding clues, but she was dead.

I cannot leave the house, and currently, only I and the dog are left in the house.

Even if the coin were used on the dog, it couldn't speak human language.

Everything in the Thriller Game is logical.

There is no such thing as a dead end.

Therefore, there is actually one more person in this house on whom the Truth can be used.

Chen Mo faced the empty Villa.

He said, "I choose Truth."

Then, Chen Mo asked and answered himself, "Sam Ricardo, tell me... why did you buy this house!"

Chen Mo's pupils suddenly became dull, and his mouth was forced open.

He stated to himself,

"This house used to be the residence of my teacher and his friend.

It was a secret base used for researching magic.

I once stayed here for a period of time; back then, I thought the things they displayed were just magic tricks.

Later, after the teacher gave me the parchment, I discovered that it was actually magic.

Afterward, I left the city without saying goodbye.

Until many years later, the teacher's friend suddenly called me.

He told me he wanted to give me this house.

My wife, Anna, has been unable to touch sunlight for 10 years because of that accident.

I have always wanted to help her solve the problem with sunlight.

So I decided, I must return.

Although that magic is very strange, for the sake of my wife, I must use magic once again.

I know where those potions are hidden.

Before I left this city, I had seen them.

There is a secret passage in the Basement that leads to a Secret Room in the Basement!

There is a mirror inside the Secret Room.

I saw it by accident, you must not tell anyone.

I am afraid that if the teacher's friend discovers that I know his secret, he will come to kill me.

No matter where I run to the ends of the earth.

So, please make sure to keep this secret for me, okay?"

His pupils suddenly became bright again, and Chen Mo regained control of his body.

He nodded and replied, "I promise you!"

The next second.

Sam occupied the body again and said,

"That day when I was tidying up things in the Basement.

I saw the teacher's friend drill into that mirror out of thin air.

It was as easy as a fish jumping into a pond.

During the day, the teacher's friend would lie in the mirror and sleep; when night came, he would wake up.

And get up to brew magic potions."

The words stopped there.

Consciousness returned to Chen Mo himself.

[Holy crap, so that's how it is. The coin can be used once a day; given the nature of the Thriller Game.]

[That means the coin must be used at least once a day, so Many Children Many Blessings deduced from this that Sam himself also harbors secrets!]

[He has grasped the core gameplay and is constantly utilizing the tricks of the Thriller Game.]

[If it were me, I absolutely wouldn't have thought that Sam himself actually still held clues.]

[And this question that Many Children Many Blessings asked is very easy for normal people to ignore.]

[Even if normal people thought of it, they would definitely just make Sam tell them secrets or clues or something.]

[That would be too broad a scope and very likely to lead astray.]

[But Many Children Many Blessings has always grasped the key to the game; he knew there was always a hole that hadn't been filled.]

[That is, why Sam moved here to live.]

[What terrifying control over details this is.]

[Awesome! Although I don't quite understand it, I feel quite excited.]

The Group Leader, far away in the world of data torrents, saw the messages in the chat group and the corners of their mouth curled up slightly.

"Many Children Many Blessings really does have the strength to become an Administrator, but his level is still too low."

"At least wait until he completes his first job change before considering pulling him into the Management Group."

"However... is that really good for him?"

"Entering the Management Group requires paying a price."

The Group Leader fell into deep hesitation.

Indeed, to enter the Management Group, some trials are required.

And most of those trials are related to life and death.

Therefore, almost everyone who can finally enter the Management Group has crawled out from a pile of dead bodies.

This guy named Return to Zero was originally supposed to be pulled into the Management Group.

He passed the incredibly difficult trials, even almost dying several times during the trials.

Just to find a way to enter the Management Group and get a tenured position.

After all, it is too hard for young people nowadays.

A suitable job is simply harder to find than a partner.

However, when he was ecstatic and preparing to join the Management Group.

He discovered that the Group Leader seemed to have pulled the wrong person.

The Management Group account was his own, but when the consciousness was imported, it was someone else's.

Return to Zero clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and swore to the heavens.

"I must kill the person who stole my position!"

"No matter who this person is, no matter which corner of the world they are in."

"One day, I will find you."

"I will definitely take back the position that belongs to me!"

Having obtained the hidden information, Chen Mo immediately set off for the Basement.

At this time, there was no one left at home, so there was no need to tread lightly.

Standing in the space of the Basement.

Chen Mo pressed his ears against the four walls and listened to each one.

There was a faint sound of wind inside the left wall.

This was because there was a hidden layer inside the wall, and it was connected to the Basement, thus creating a draft.

With his feet touching the wall, Chen Mo climbed directly to the junction of the wall and the ceiling.

The wall surface in front of him was slightly curved; looking closely.

He discovered that a layer of frosted paper had been laid on the surface of the wall, using a similar antique color to disguise it.

Chen Mo grabbed the edge of the peeling paper and gave it a hard tug.

With a "rip" sound.

Chen Mo jumped down from the air and ripped all the paper off more than half of the wall.

Then, a door appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.

He leaned in to look.

The surface of the door was very old, but the door handle was very clean.

This meant that someone frequently entered and exited this door, and when opening the door.

The palm would wipe away the dust along with it.

Chen Mo did not hesitate at all; he directly summoned the bone-scraping knife and transformed it into the Deans Axe.

And smashed it against the door in front of him!

The Deans Axe's passive skill: there is no door it cannot break.

Unless this door is a higher-level item.

With a "creak" sound, there was no large-scale physical damage in front of him.

Or the super cool scene of the door panel shattering into pieces on the spot.

Instead, the door just opened by itself.

Chen Mo felt a bit dumbfounded.

"This is different from the passive effect I imagined; shouldn't it be a super cool door-smashing artifact?"

"Such a dainty way of opening a door."

"Shouldn't it be called a universal lock-picking tool?" Chen Mo couldn't help but complain.

However... as long as it can open the door, it's fine.

Putting on gloves to avoid leaving his fingerprints.

Chen Mo took a deep breath.

And opened the door.
