Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Special Magnetic Field

Seeing that he stopped talking, Xu Huo withdrew his gaze and said to the others, "Choose one person every hour to go upstairs with me to check."

"Is it possible that if we don’t follow the instructions on the note, there won’t be a next one?" The man with glasses spoke up again.

Xu Huo glanced at him, "Since the method to clear the instance has been proven to be a ’find the book by its picture’ game, the possibility you mentioned contradicts the direction to clear the instance, it most likely doesn’t exist. Besides, this instance itself isn’t too difficult, just pay attention and you’ll notice that the pictures correspond with the content of the books."

Actually, the information needed to clear the instance is almost right in front of their eyes, it all depends on whether the players are meticulous enough.

However, as the man with glasses said before, once all the methods to clear are tried, people will definitely turn their attention to the items in the villa, but who knows how many will still be alive by then or whether the time limit of the instance will have expired.

No one objected to his statement, although they were all confused initially, but judging from the results, this instance was indeed simple: just find the books corresponding to the pictures, they had never encountered such an easy instance before.

"Does the name of the instance imply anything else?" Ding Xiang couldn’t help asking, "Clearing it is one thing, but to get a high rating, shouldn’t we figure out what ’the last one’ refers to? It can’t possibly just refer to the last note exchanged, right?"

The others also turned around, but Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "What’s that got to do with me?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Haha!" Chi Minghong slapped his thigh and laughed, "Let’s not think too much since we’re just tagging along for a ride. Rely on ourselves, think hard, maybe we’ll figure out what ’the last one’ really means before finding the next note."

"But there’s still something I find very strange," Zhou Yuanzhu said, "Why are the pictures on the notes all circled?"

"This might have something to do with ’the last one’." A player from the area said, "The pictures in this ’find the book by its picture’ game might have a fixed number or correspond to something, hence the circle."

"How long has Snow White Villa been a venue for an instance?" Liang Zong asked.

"I’m not sure," the player from the area answered, "When I checked the information, I didn’t find any details about the instance here. The villa hasn’t been abandoned for long, and there have been government workers inspecting it, at least a year ago, this place definitely wasn’t an instance venue."

"That doesn’t add up," the player with the lip piercing interrupted, "Many rooms’ circle patterns have been obscured, and later it was rented out, indicating that there were several strange death cases here even while it was still being rented out."

"Quite a few tenants died in the Snow White Villa." Chi Minghong reflected, "The internet says it was due to supernatural events, and I think the government also investigated this, saying there’s a special magnetic field here, and regarding the tenants’ deaths, many believe it was the work of players."

This was all too reasonable, compared to other places in Snow City, the Snow White Villa was remote and not easily accessible, typically inhabited by the poor or those who didn’t need much social interaction, it’s quite normal for individual players to target this spot.

But now that the paintings on the instance notes correspond to marks in the villa, it takes on another meaning, the notes might correspond to books that clear the instance, but to achieve a high rating, one must make an effort in other respects.

"Shall we go check those rooms again?" Zhou Yuanzhu suggested.

The other players also thought so, and they asked for Xu Huo’s opinion.

Xu Huo had no objections and calmly followed them.

An instance could be influenced by many factors. From the clearing method mentioned earlier, the creation of this instance was at least positive, resembling a simple game suitable for children, but it doesn’t mean all elements in the villa are related to its former owner Jin Li. According to his theory, if the entire instance was just a misleading children’s game, it wouldn’t have the conditions to exist.

Thus, the instance must have another core.

But like his ownership of "The Seventeenth Hospital", the background and clearing tasks need to closely relate to the venue and the instance itself; otherwise, the reasoning for the instance’s existence wouldn’t make sense. If those death circles were key to the instance, the final clearance should be related to them. However, being able to clear it through ’find the book by its picture’ shows gaming still plays a major role. Unless the instance owner exploited game loopholes to reduce the instance difficulty.

It’s evident that there’s no owner for Snow White Villa instance.

Could it be related to the special magnetic field here?

The villa might not have the qualifications to be an instance venue, was it the magnetic field’s influence that formed the instance?

Why did Doctor Zhang choose to live here?

He follows a scientific approach, and those religious-motivated killings found in the villa likely didn’t come from him. His staying here wouldn’t be for convenient human body experiments.

The gene potion given to Luo Changren might have been incidental; the office had some potion materials, new and old, his focus was still on Dr. Wu and the Perfect Potion, he previously opened a lab, definitely in Snow City, quite popular, it’s even more unreasonable for him to live here.

If it was to deceive others, he shouldn’t have made the lab famous; since it’s famous, choosing Snow White Villa is even more inconsistent.

Thus, there must be a special reason why he chose this place.

Xu Huo surveyed the villa.

The main structure of the villa is old, unlike other buildings in Snow City filled with a sense of technology, it seems to specifically avoid metallic materials, the villa’s walls mostly use stone, no gaps within the walls, some layers might have been added by those who moved in later, the entire building looks just like an ordinary old house.

The only thing worth mentioning again is the special magnetic field environment here.

It seems to be the magnetic field then.

"The Seventeenth Hospital" was also born because the original hospital was a place of mental contamination, its space was special, Snow White Villa likely meets this condition too.

A slight deviation is, if someone previously held some evil sacrifices here, that would have been more likely to become content for an instance than a children’s game—perhaps this instance had been born long ago, just not activated frequently.

This also explains why tenants in the villa didn’t last three years, and as for those circles on the walls, they might have been made by other players who came here.

"Maybe she just drew them casually?" Chi Minghong was speaking to others, "It could also be a coincidence."

"Do you believe in coincidences in an instance?" Ding Xiang retorted.

Chi Minghong’s logic was simple, "This is a game for children, are you looking for logic from a child’s thoughts?"

Xu Huo found this reasonable, children’s thinking is whimsical, who would have thought that a child who loved drawing characters of the dead would grow up to draw warm, healing children’s books?

But the reason Doctor Zhang chose this place is worth digging into.

Not waiting for other players who were checking the rooms, he said, "I’ll go take a look on the first floor."
