Chapter 15 - 15 Preparations for Going to the Source of Collapse
Tentacle Man limped down the corridor, his facial expression uncertain, "Do you really want to go to the source of collapse?"
"It's an extremely dangerous place, filled with completely polluted abnormalities; no living creature dares to approach it."
"I know, I took a detour to the city center yesterday," Su Qi knew the dangers there even better, "That's why I've come to collaborate with you."
Tentacle Man: "..."
All the previous guests were monsters, each one crazy and abnormal; yet, even so, they were all extremely fearful of the outside world.
Finally, there came a normal Su Qi.
But it turned out... he was the most abnormal of all, showing interest in the source of collapse and possessed a must-go attitude.
Tentacle Man sighed and walked to the door of the apartment's storage room: "I understand, I'll help you with all my strength."
"But, can you really let me communicate with my daughter?"
Su Qi replied, "I never deceive anyone."
"Bullshit, you just said you had released all the pollutants back..." Tentacle Man's face veins bulged, his limping was due to being too severely impacted, almost collapsing.
Su Qi: "....."
He said lightly,
"Relax, put your heart into your pelvis."
He hadn't lied to him, when he was on the third floor, he had seen information on the little girl.
It displayed.
[The lingering soul trapped in this polluted world unable to be freed; place an old item she used in the attic and draw a pentagram, you might discover her wishes.]
Su Qi speculated.
This was a side mission of exploring the third floor.
Without much thought, it was clear the wishes were related to her father, either to resolve his emotional conflicts or to free her.
Then he would gain her assistance, gradually uncover the identity of the manager, reveal the truth, engage in a massive battle, finally reform the crazed Tentacle Man, witness a father-daughter reunion, tearfully... and roll the movie's end credits.
The general process for ordinary players to clear the game would be like this, otherwise, they couldn't contend with Tentacle Man.
Unfortunately.
Su Qi didn't follow the process.
When Tentacle Man opened the storage room, a terrifying presence emanated, the air seemed much colder, sending shivers down one's spine.
He said in a deep voice,
"I'm not a good person, but I never kill indiscriminately. Over the last two years, I've provided each guest with food and shelter. Only when a guest breaks the rules or becomes completely polluted do I dispose of them."
"And the parts generated from their pollution are preserved as pollutants."
Su Qi looked around, the storage room had numerous glass jars, all filled with various pollutants, containing some residual power from their original owners.
"If you want to head toward the source of collapse, consider two things; one is how to approach the source without collapsing, and second, how to avoid those huge abnormalities." Tentacle Man looked at Su Qi, "The first, you've evidently solved, but the second... can only rely on me."
Tentacle Man adjusted his glasses, his demeanor not crazed, a hint of intelligence shining through, "Based on my two years of re
