72: Chapter 72 Hexagram Array

The vision before his eyes was distorted; Chen Mo felt as if he had stepped into the intersection of two dimensions.

The Dark Forest and the lake spun rapidly in his vision.

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Mo had returned to the Basement.

"First, I need to replenish the Mental Value of my wife and children. I need to go out. Is there enough time?"

Chen Mo already knew who the true boss of the dungeon was.

Sam's friend—the Evil Wizard.

This was the entity that had almost sent him away with a single shout earlier.

The opponent would appear when night fell, or more accurately... it should be at 3:15 AM.

Currently, two scapegoats had already died in the game.

One was the Brother-in-law, and the other was Amy.

Therefore, the next ones to die tonight would definitely be Chen Mo's family.

He opened the system rewards.

[One opportunity to go out and seek assistance]

The purpose of this reward was likely to allow Chen Mo to go outside the Haunted House and find someone capable of defeating the Dark Wizard.

Only magic could defeat magic; his father had told him that.

New York didn't support idlers, so there shouldn't be a shortage of wizards.

In any case, he had to revive his family first.

It was currently 10 AM, leaving 17 hours remaining.

The time seemed ample, but it was actually urgent.

Chen Mo changed into casual clothes from the closet and set out.

"Woof woof!"

Sadi also ran out at this moment, wagging its tail and circling around Chen Mo.

"Do you want to come along too?" Chen Mo asked.

Sadi nodded. Although it couldn't speak, its expression was very intelligent, as if it could help Chen Mo find the person who could assist him.

"Alright, good dog, come with Daddy."

The man and the dog drove off immediately.

Turning on the navigation, Chen Mo soon arrived at the town's only private Hospital.

He went up to the 2nd floor, which took 30 minutes.

He pushed open the door to the Patient room.

Chen Mo saw a balding doctor measuring the blood pressure for his wife and children.

He was muttering to himself constantly.

"What a strange illness. I've been practicing medicine for 40 years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

"The brain and body functions are all normal, yet they remain in a coma."

"Stimulants don't work either."

Chen Mo walked over.

Upon seeing Chen Mo's figure, his wife, who had been in a dull state, suddenly showed a slight reaction in her previously unfocused pupils.

Chen Mo came to the bedside and held his wife's hand tightly.

"You must be her lover. I'm very sorry, this condition is too rare, and I don't have the ability to cure them."

"It's okay, Doctor. Actually... the love of family is the best antidote."

The doctor nodded with a smile upon hearing this, though he sighed inwardly.

He had seen too many partings of life and death.

He understood the feelings of the family members of the Patient; love was indeed useful, but...

Before the doctor could finish his inner monologue, the wife and children, who had been like a Puppet, suddenly woke up.

The family of four embraced, reunited.

"What?!" The doctor was stunned.

Just by holding hands, exchanging warmth between their palms, and then feeding them some mineral water... they woke up?

Tears of excitement streamed from Chen Mo's eyes as he gripped the doctor's hand and shook it up and down.

He said excitedly: "Doctor, thank you so much!"

"You truly are a miracle doctor!"

The doctor scratched his head, feeling guilty for the praise, but he still had to maintain the image of a profound and mysterious doctor.

He waved his hand and said: "It's nothing. I am a doctor; saving lives and healing the wounded is what I should do."

"Once your family members have rested a bit, you can handle the discharge procedures."

"Alright!" Chen Mo nodded.

Afterward, the doctor walked out of the Patient room somewhat awkwardly.

He thought to himself that he should study what love meant with his wife tonight.

Chen Mo's actions just now were a good example.

This was a moment of historical significance.

If love could be made into medicine, he could make it onto the Forbes celebrity list.

"Sam, have you already recalled your past memories?" his wife asked.

Chen Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded.

What would his wife say next? That things between them were over, or that he should just forget?

"Sam." His wife gripped Chen Mo's hand tightly.

Smiling, she said: "Actually, we should have made a clean break with the past a long time ago."

"Those sad memories are like nightmares that we've never been able to let go of."

"If our family is to be together forever, we must move past them."

Hearing this, Chen Mo also smiled. "Yes."

[Wife Anna's emotional knot has been untied; she has gathered the courage to face the Fear with you]

[Rule Update: You can use magic in front of your family]

His wife and children rested in the Hospital.

Chen Mo continued to take his dog out to look for someone.

This was the Thriller Game, and everything around him could potentially hide clues.

He had to avoid missing anything.

Chen Mo parked the car and began walking through the town while leading the dog.

It was already 5 PM.

Chen Mo had spent several hours driving around the town, but he hadn't found any scenes related to magic.

He asked a few NPCs on the road, and they all said they didn't know.

Chen Mo lit a cigarette; his Stamina was dropping again, and he had to drink some water of might at any time.

The dog was also panting, wearing an expression of having lost the will to live.

Although its dog nose had been trying to search for something, the weather was just too hot.

The man and the dog wandered repeatedly through the town in the afternoon.

The looks people gave Chen Mo were not quite right, and some even called the police.

They thought Chen Mo might be a terrorist looking for a suitable detonation point.

After the police arrived and saw it was this kid Chen Mo, they immediately turned back.

They told the surrounding NPCs that this guy was a poor soul.

People had died in his home for two consecutive days, so it was normal for him not to be in a good state of mind.

[Group Leader, the town is so big, where exactly should we look for clues?]

[Only you have seen the complete hidden plot of this dungeon, please reveal it!]

[Group Leader: Many Children Many Blessings has always had a strong grasp of details, and his logical thinking is also very unconventional.]

[Group Leader: He has ignored his own advantages and, under the pressure of time, has gradually been interfered with by the rhythm of the Thriller Game.]

[Group Leader: Actually, the answer is very simple. Use the lake as a mirror and cast the Truth Spell on yourself; the problem before you is simpler than all of this.]

[So... where exactly is the clue? Can you stop being mysterious, Boss? (Please tell me gif.)]

[Group Leader: I won't tell you.]

[Blooming Chrysanthemum: Actually, I suspect that if the Group Leader hadn't seen the completion record, he probably wouldn't know how to solve it himself.]

[Blooming Chrysanthemum: After all... the Group Leader is just a narcissist. He clearly doesn't understand deduction but insists on acting cool, and he's also very repressed.]

["Blooming Chrysanthemum" has been muted.]

[No way, Brother Chrysanthemum, you are truly brave. Your mute was just lifted, and you're already coming out to get beaten again?]

[666, Brother Chrysanthemum is a role model for our generation. NTR lovers just love to initiate attacks face-to-face.]

[Blooming of Chrysanthemum: Brave Bull, not afraid of difficulties! Hehehe.]

[Holy crap, Brother Chrysanthemum, you actually have a sockpuppet account?]

["Blooming of Chrysanthemum" has been kicked out of Management Group No. 5 by the Group Leader.]

["Blooming Chrysanthemum" mute duration of 1 hour has been modified to 48 hours by the Group Leader.]

[Vice Group Leader: Brother Chrysanthemum, go in peace!]

[Vice Group Leader: Everyone, actually the real clue is far away, yet right before your eyes. When you usually go to a strange city, what is the most important thing?]

It must be said that the Vice Group Leader was truly a god-tier assist in this dungeon.

The United States didn't have WeChat Pay and still used cash to this day.

So, besides money, the most important thing in a strange city was a map.

"Town map!"

The background of Ocean Avenue was the early 20th century in the United States.

At this time, the inventor of the bitten fruit hadn't yet created the 3rd generation mobile phone.

Other SBM phones, although they were touchscreens, didn't have map functions embedded.

Therefore, Chen Mo could only head to a nearby internet cafe.

He clicked on Google Maps with the mouse, proving that this was after 2005.

Chen Mo continuously zoomed in on the panoramic view of the entire town, looking down from the sky like God's perspective.

As the buildings became smaller and smaller, the scene seen from the sky also changed as a result.

For example, some adjacent buildings formed new patterns in the air.

It was just like when you were walking on the road inadvertently and saw some adjacent clouds in the sky; they would combine into different shapes.

There were fish shapes, moons, snakes.

And Chen Mo actually discovered something unusual at this moment.

Looking down from high altitude, the entire town formed the shape of a huge Hexagram Array!
