End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

In the urban center of Moonlight City, Bonnie was diligently poring over rare materials in the central library.

Although the downtown library was accessible to every citizen, the exceptionally valuable resources within required individuals of a certain level to gain access.

As Benjamin's daughter, Bonnie naturally possessed the qualifications to access these exceptionally rare materials.

Just as she was becoming engrossed in her research, her phone suddenly emitted a vibration.

"Didn't Jeremy mention earlier that he had a matter of utmost importance to attend to? Why is he calling me now? Could it be that he has encountered some trouble?"

Bonnie felt a twinge of confusion, yet she quickly made her way outside the library to answer the call.

"I know you have many questions you wish to ask, but I implore you to trust me and refrain from uttering a single word! The only task at hand for you is to swiftly make your way to my house. I have something of great importance to discuss with you."

Having said this, Jeremy abruptly ended the call.

Bonnie did not have the opportunity to press for further details.

After hanging up, a hint of helplessness crept into Bonnie's smile.

"Jeremy remains, as ever, a man of decisive action. Yet it is precisely because of this characteristic that I consider him to be exceptionally reliable."

Though she felt a slight sense of dissatisfaction within, Bonnie nonetheless hurried at full speed toward Jeremy's residence.

When she arrived outside Jeremy's door, it swung open without warning.

Ritchie looked at Bonnie and said, "Come in quickly! You haven't been followed by anyone on your way here, have you?"

Bonnie shook her head.

"I was not followed by anyone! On my way here, I even took the time to visit a few other places. What on earth has happened that has you all so anxious?"

Bonnie chose to directly inquire of Ritchie about the nature of the situation.

However, Ritchie did not provide her with an answer, he merely gestured for her to step inside, then stood at the doorway, scanning the surroundings to ensure that no one had been tracking Bonnie.

Upon entering Jeremy's home, Bonnie was struck by the sight of an enormous map spread across the living room floor.

This map was clearly a three-dimensional representation of an instance.

At that moment, Jeremy was hunched over one side of the map, furrowing his brow as he meticulously studied it.

He was so engrossed in his examination that he failed to notice Bonnie's arrival.

Bonnie, for her part, did not feel the need to alert Jeremy, she simply mirrored his expression of concentration as she gazed at the vast map before her.

"What's going on? I assume you have a clearer understanding of the situation now?" Ritchie's voice called from the doorway.

It was only then that Jeremy lifted his head, and upon seeing Bonnie, a slight look of apology crossed his face.

"Oh, so you've already arrived. I must apologize to you, I got so caught up in studying this map."

Bonnie smiled and shook her head gently, "You truly don't need to apologize, as I too find this instance depicted on the map to be quite intriguing."

Bonnie's remark left both Jeremy and Ritchie slightly taken aback.

"How did you know this is a map of an instance? Is it merely because the map is divided into different layers?" Ritchie directly posed this question, which was the foremost concern of Jeremy.

Bonnie smiled and shook her head gently.

"Of course not, while it is indeed rare for a map to be segmented into several layers, I have encountered some valuable materials at the library downtown that also contained corresponding maps.

After all, every large military base is constructed with considerable complexity and is typically divided into multiple levels. Therefore, this map could also be interpreted as a representation of a military installation.

However, on this particular map, Jeremy has marked numerous distinct areas in red ink. These highlighted regions are clearly the areas within the instance where one might encounter monsters.

This is because these zones are, under normal circumstances, unavoidable. If this were a military base, there would be no need to mark these locations at all."

"Although I do not comprehend why there are so many areas where monsters appear, this characteristic is unique to instances, a typical military base would never exhibit such traits."

After Bonnie finished speaking, she waited for a moment, yet she still did not hear a response from Jeremy or Ritchie.

She lifted her gaze toward Jeremy and Ritchie, only to find both of them staring at her with expressions of astonishment.

"What's the matter? Do you disagree with what I said? If you believe my assessment is incorrect, I welcome you to share your thoughts."

"You are absolutely correct. The reason I brought you here today is to discuss how we can efficiently navigate and complete the entire instance."

Jeremy had come to recognize Bonnie's strategic capabilities, and he felt confident that she would be able to offer him substantial assistance this time around.

Bonnie nodded in acknowledgment.

"I can indeed provide you with relevant suggestions. However, I am not yet familiar with the specific circumstances of this instance. The difficulty of clearing an instance is contingent upon the levels and types of monsters present within it.

Could you possibly begin by giving me an introduction to this instance? Once I have a basic understanding of its parameters, I may be able to offer you some highly suitable recommendations."

Jeremy nodded in agreement.

"The instance I primarily navigate is The Misty Garden, located near Moonlight City. This instance is filled with a plethora of mutated plants, and the boss of this instance is actually composed of these mutated flora.

The overall difficulty of the instance is exceedingly high, with the majority of the monsters hovering around level 50. As for the level of the instance's boss, I cannot accurately assess it at this moment, as the entire instance has undergone significant mutation."

After hearing Jeremy's words, Bonnie's expression grew slightly grim.

"If the situation of the instance is truly as you have described, then the difficulty level is exceedingly high. I believe you should reconsider your intention to tackle the instance alone."

Bonnie felt that an instance with such formidable difficulty would likely be insurmountable, even with the assistance of others.

If Jeremy insisted on attempting to clear it by himself, it could very well lead to his demise within the instance.

A faint, wry smile appeared on Jeremy's face.

"The difficulty of the instance is indeed quite daunting! However, I must clear it! Only by doing so can I ensure that Kean's power does not surpass my own."

After expressing this, Jeremy proceeded to share information regarding the awakening process with both Bonnie and Ritchie.

Upon absorbing the details about the awakening, the two of them finally grasped the significance of Jeremy's undertaking.

"I believe the approach you proposed earlier is exceedingly reasonable, I am willing to hand over my staff to you." Bonnie stated with unwavering determination.

At that moment, Ritchie also nodded in agreement.

"Indeed! Without your assistance, we would absolutely be unable to acquire these weapons. Therefore, entrusting them to you poses no problem whatsoever."

Jeremy looked at the two of them with eyes filled with gratitude.

"However, even with your weapons in my possession, I will encounter numerous challenges during the upcoming awakening instance. Thus, I hope you can assist me in devising the most efficient route to clear the awakening instance."

Jeremy finally articulated his true objective.

Bonnie and Ritchie exhibited no hesitation, they immediately began to examine the intricate structure of the entire instance.

Bonnie quickly discovered a shortcut within The Misty Garden instance.

"Take a closer look, there exists a hidden passage between the first and second levels of The Misty Garden. Furthermore, this concealed corridor appears to lead deeper into The Misty Garden.

If the awakening gemstone you mentioned is indeed located on the third level of The Misty Garden, you can directly access the hidden passage from the first level.

This way, you can bypass the mutated plants present in the first two levels of The Misty Garden. Although those mutated plants are not particularly formidable, they will inevitably slow your progress in clearing the instance."

Under Bonnie's guidance, Jeremy finally located the hidden passage.

"You were right, this concealed corridor is indeed the only route that can lead us swiftly to the location of the awakening gemstone. Please take some time to carefully refine your plans.

Once I have confirmed that your strategy is flawless, I will memorize the route as quickly as possible. Our time is running short, as I intend to set off at dawn tomorrow."

Jeremy's statement left both Bonnie and Ritchie astounded.

From their perspective, even if Jeremy was anxious, it seemed ill-advised to initiate his journey in the early hours of the morning.

"Are you absolutely certain you want to embark at dawn? According to the intelligence we gathered earlier, the difficulty level of the instance increases during that time."

Bonnie inquired with a hint of concern in her voice.

Jeremy replied with a reassuring smile, "You need not worry. The instance I must clear is the awakening instance, and its difficulty will remain unchanged until the completion of the challenge.

Moreover, you wouldn't want Kean to awaken before us, would you? If he were to awaken first, he would undoubtedly pursue us without mercy. Even if it were not for my own sake, I must expedite the clearing of the awakening instance for your benefit."

Jeremy's words deeply moved Bonnie and Ritchie.

With renewed focus, the two of them diligently worked to revise the instance clearing plan they had devised for Jeremy.
