The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Clues

“KP, what punishment will I get if I don’t sleep?”

Yu Yi was driving a car along the road with Lilice, who had just emptied a restaurant. Their destination was an underground amusement park. He wanted to go there yesterday, but he was stopped by Lilice on the way, and then he was involved in the chase. As a result, Yu Yi’s itinerary was completely disrupted. Forget it, he was going to go to the underground amusement park to find some clues. He had already been to church and so on.

[It is about the penalty of -20 for all skill checks on the next day… Ah! That’s right! I forgot! It’s agreed to make an instance of all your skill checks -15! Blast it! I forgot to add it before! Well, I’ll write it down.]

Blast it! Why am I such an idiot to remind him!?

In fact, his punishment was not added at this point, but Yu Yi had always remembered. If he kept silent, KP would have already forgotten, but now he suddenly remembered. Shit?! I had a really troublesome mouth, right?!

[You… can’t always remember everything right…] KP’s faint words made Yu Yi’s body cold.

“No, I would’ve forgotten if you didn’t tell me!”

It was better to accept it, but there was generally no good result for quarrelling with KP.

Sure enough, it was still the same rule. If he didn’t sleep, all checks he made the next day would be -20. Therefore, he still needed to have a good rest. In that case, it would be impossible for them to split up.

Originally, Yu Yi planned to run around with Lilice during the day and then go out to investigate at night. There was no way to investigate with Lilice during the day. After all, he still didn’t know who Lilice was. He still remembered in the previous script, he thought gangs and police stations were allies at first, but they turned out to be the real enemies. It would be better to be careful.

After a stroll around the amusement park, Yu Yi did not find anything. He even went into the haunted house and came out like it was nothing, which made the staff feel surprised. Lilice did have a good time. She was like a child who had never been to an amusement park before. In addition to the relatively large underground maze, the rest of the place was just ordinary. Although it was called underground, it was actually a big open-air cave.

There was a beach in the cave though. Many tourists came not for the rides, but for the beach.

This was a seaside city.

This belated message did not help Yu Yi’s thinking.

“Whoa!”

He watched Lilice in a swimsuit sitting in the amusement facility. As the vehicle sailed into the shore, her beautiful body was stained with sea water. There was nothing unusual. Originally, Yu Yi always worried that Lilice’s body hidden under the black robe was a tentacle monster, but now it seemed to be alright. At least this girl was not a fish or something like that. She didn’t smell like salted fish but formalin. It was impossible to deduce what she was, but she was not dangerous. For now, at least.

Yu Yi did not use any amusement facilities but sat on the chair. With a handbag in hand, he looked like a bitter man waiting for his girlfriend to come back.

[Um… For the sake of our long friendship, I advise you not to think of Lilice too nice.]

While Yu Yi was basking in the sun and thinking about the next trip, KP’s words sounded faintly.

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

[Well, virgin boy, even if I told you to watch out for a fire in the backyard, you probably don’t know what it means. Well, that’s too much to say.]

Yes, Yu Yi had almost understood it. KP, you had made it clear.

“Well. It doesn’t matter if I feel close to her. Anyway, you are going to tear my card. When the card is torn, the interpersonal relationship will be gone.”

Yu Yi was very calm. Even if he admired her completely, he would not be able to bring her back home. If he tore the card, the interpersonal relationship would disappear too, so it did not matter.

“Moreover, this situation at least makes me feel that it is definitely not because I am ugly that I do not have a girlfriend in reality.”

This sounded a bit self-deprecating, although Yu Yi was really single at the moment. But at least he was happy to be alone, only needing to feed himself.

Looking at the happy Lilice laughing, it was hard for Yu Yi to imagine what kind of environment she grew up in. She was like a child who had never seen the world, but she knew a lot of things including many languages. She was a bit like himself when he was a child. He had been forced to learn all kinds of things at home… play? There’s no such chance. It was a heavy responsibility to be educated as an heir.

[Well, in fact, this NPC is also good. I still have a lot of confidence in my pinching figure skills.]

“You pinched the appearance of Yuming, too?”

[No, I don’t have that skill to make a figure of APP 21. Oh, I’ve never seen any character like that before. With all the information in the database, I can only squeeze out someone at 17 APP NPC at most. With any luck, I might be able to make one with 18 APP points.]

KP said that there was no way for him to do that. The appearance of the gods should be made from other professionals.

Sitting in a chair and feeling bored, Yu Yi saw the two men in front of him talking about something in a newspaper. Because he was a bit far away from them, there was no way to read what was written in the newspaper. Yu Yi said, “KP, make an eavesdrop check. Listen to what they are saying.”

[You’re so boring. Far apart, crowded, and noisy. I’ll give you a -5, plus a constant 15 impairment for this instance, you know.]

[. rd = 17 Compact 50-20, Eavesdrop passed.]

At this moment, the voices of the two men were magnified in Yu Yi’s ears.

The man on the left pointed to the newspaper and said, “That’s good news. If that’s true, I guess the sea area of New Zealand will expand a little bit, right?”

The man on the right retorted, “Not necessarily. Maybe it’s not an island and just a reef. Don’t you think it’s strange that there is no earthquake or undersea volcanic eruption. How can such a big reef come out all of a sudden?”

“Yes, and the shape is really strange.”

As the two men went farther and farther away, the voice gradually faded. Yu Yi silently turned to KP and said, “If I wasn’t bored, I would have missed this information?”

[No, you can get this information from the newspaper every day.]

So, you mean this is a very important message… Um… I’ll go and buy a newspaper first.

Going to one side of the newsstand, Yu Yi searched for a while. He then found an identical newspaper in the hands of two men.

Tourism Daily

He paid, then took the newspaper back to his seat. The text was in English and because of the mercy of KP for the skill, Yu Yi did not need to pass any check. He could read directly.

He constantly rummaged through the papers and quickly found a piece of news with several strange pictures.

Yes, it was indeed very important news. Yu Yi now realized who one of the Olden Days KP mentioned.

“KP, I want to pass a Cthulhu myth check!”

[. rd = 91/15. Failed.]

“KP, can I do it continuously?”

[No, you need at least 30 minutes to pass the same check.]
