Sun Jingyu

Biodata

Appearance

Sun Jingyu is described as somewhat handsome, with a cold expression 27.

Personality

Sun is analytical and cautious. At the crossroads, he reasoned that the opposing warnings were truthful but incomplete, and he repeatedly urged his companions to obey the park’s rules 27 30.

He values teammates as a practical resource and promises to help Liu Shuai if he can. He is also ambitious: after obtaining the Demon Eye, he anticipates recognition and advancement within his guild 28 36.

Sun is willing to risk his life for his mission. Although he could have bypassed the restaurant, he entered to confront its hidden boss and keep the Demon Eye out of the hands of evil guilds 35 36.

Abilities & Skills

Control-type abilities

Sun uses mental power to manipulate objects and create defenses 27 36.

• Ghost deterrence: He and Zhao Guodong spread spiritual power through the lake to scatter Water Ghosts, though Sun judged that killing so many was unlikely 27.
• Mental barrier: He blocked the restaurant’s diners and staff and resisted the One-Eyed Chef’s cleaver. Blocking the chef consumed considerable energy and gave him a sharp headache 36.
• Flying swords: He controlled short swords to attack from different directions and made them explode, using the fragments to sever the chef’s tentacles and deliver a fatal strike 36.
• Object retrieval: He pulled both the Demon Eye and the Puppet Girl’s key into his hands from a distance 37.

Equipment & Items

• Soul-Returning Incense — Consumed to resurrect Sun at a chosen point in the instance after his first erasure 34.
• Short swords — Flying weapons used against the One-Eyed Chef and the restaurant’s occupants; some were destroyed during the fight 36.
• Demon Eye — The hidden quest’s target, taken from the One-Eyed Chef. Shen Hao collected it after Sun’s erasure 36 38.
• Gate key — Obtained from the Puppet Girl, but it snapped inside the exit lock 37 38.

Relationships

• Zhao Guodong — Fellow Control-type Ability User; he and Sun worked together to drive away the lake’s Water Ghosts 27 28.
• Wang Ruoxi — Companion who saved the surviving group from pursuing boats with a black flag and helped identify how to pass the wax figures 29 31.
• Liu Shuai — Fellow traveler whom Sun advised and offered to protect. Liu later planned to sacrifice his companions for a hidden quest, but encountered a controlled impostor resembling Sun rather than Sun himself 28 33.
• Puppet Girl — Led the group out of the maze and later caused Sun’s first erasure. At the exit, she offered a key in exchange for the Demon Eye 30 34 37.
• One-Eyed Chef — The restaurant’s hidden boss and keeper of the Demon Eye; Sun killed him to complete the hidden quest 35 36.
• Shen Hao — Revealed himself after Sun’s final erasure, gained 600 Fear Points, and collected the Demon Eye 38.

Story Role

Lake, maze and haunted house

Sun concluded that two hostile forces had placed the crossroads warnings and led the group down the middle road. At the artificial lake, he helped repel Water Ghosts and suggested switching boats to avoid collisions. Chen Yan died after a replacement boat broke apart, but Wang Ruoxi’s black flag helped the four survivors escape the pursuing boats 27 28 29.

The group took another middle path and became lost in a shifting maze. They followed the Puppet Girl out to a haunted house, where Sun warned them to obey its rules. When they discovered that wax figures moved while unobserved, he arranged for two people to watch them as the group moved toward the next room 29 30 31.

Resurrection and the Demon Eye

Sun was erased after blocking the Puppet Girl’s spiked club with his spirit: the doll shattered, making him appear to have damaged park property. He used the Soul-Returning Incense to resurrect at the restaurant, where he intended to confront the hidden boss and obtain the Demon Eye for the Alliance Guild 34 35.

Sun understood that the park’s two bosses competed for territory and grew stronger when players died in their domains. Because the players had died in the director’s territory, he believed the restaurant’s boss had been weakened and that it was a favorable time to complete the hidden quest 35.

Inside, Sun ordered frozen rabbit blood but found a warning carved into a table saying the restaurant did not sell it. He spilled the dish, provoking the One-Eyed Chef, then defeated him and removed the Demon Eye 35 36.

Final erasure

At the locked exit, the Puppet Girl demanded the Demon Eye in exchange for a key. Sun appeared to agree, then used his control ability to seize both items. The key snapped in the lock, however, and the park system erased him for damaging its property. Shen Hao subsequently collected the Demon Eye 37 38.
