Chapter 504 Chapter 502 · “Dynamite in the heart.”

 Eleven seconds.

 The immortal skill expires.

 —At this second, the fate of death befell him in an irresistible manner.

 The five senses disappear, breathing stops, and the broken heart stops beating.

Thinking is fragmented, and the severe pain disappears instantly like cutting off the power supply.

With the feeling of suffocation fading away like a tide, Su Mingan opened his eyes.

In front of him, there was mud all over the place. He was sitting on the roof of the stone castle, his tentacles lying obediently beside him. They had not yet escaped his control, and the strange heartbeat sound in the black mud had not yet appeared.

The SAN value in the upper left corner is still the normal 65 points, and it has not fallen to the bottom like a cliff.

 …But his eyes were still blank.

  The cane suddenly pierced his chest, the severe pain of his heart being broken bit by bit... and the endless weirdness and fear that climbed up from his whole body were still like hammers hitting his nerves.

 He has never felt such a painful change.

It was as if something was forcibly using his body as a battlefield and started a tug-of-war with him. He was forcibly deprived of the ability to control his limbs and think.

 …Those players who became mentally ill after playing the White Sand Paradise dungeon turned out to have experienced such a change.

 This is what they suffered.

During the natural disaster period, some hot wind blew against his cheeks, and his finger joints made a slight "click" sound uncontrollably.

In the barrage in the upper right corner, the audience also found that something was obviously wrong with him.

It seems that from the blink of an eye, he showed an expression of pain that could not be concealed.

  【What's going on? Why did Su Mingan suddenly become like this?】

 【Is the first player sick?】

　　【It seems difficult for adventure players to get sick. They usually have a debuff state. After all, we all have digitalized bodies... Is this poisoning?】

  【This symptom is not like a curse, but like a fever. The first player should drink more boiled water. 】

  【Hey, sick Ming'an, hehehe...】

Without him needing to explain, the audience came up with 108 reasons for him in a few seconds, ranging from remote curses to heart attacks to sudden illnesses. No one even thought about returning to the scene after death.

But, in fact, normal people shouldn’t think about it.

 He closed his eyes and calmed down.

Last week's goal was alienated, and the stamina was too great.

However, his current situation is much better than those players with real mental problems. After all, his mental points are far higher than theirs, almost eight times more.

Even though he was unable to control his limbs and his thinking ability was stagnant after being alienated, he still maintained a stable state and could even vaguely remember the situation after the alienation.

 He raised his head and looked into the distance. At this point in time, the battlefield mission had just been released, and players gradually appeared in the sky.

 He ​​remembered that after he extended the tentacle monster to 10,000 yards and completed the "Purification Road" mission, he began to hear the strange heartbeat in the black mud, and he began to mutate.

 He has noticed that there were many hints of changes before this. For example, the oracle said that humans cannot match the gods, so if he wants to forcibly control the gods' creations, he will inevitably pay a price.

For another example, yesterday, he digested the malice of Big Eyeball with eight times the strength bonus, but after the time limit of the copy of "The Cursed Ghost and Man" expired and the eight times bonus was removed, this became a trap.

 …an extremely insidious trap.

 …

　　【Player (Su Mingan), due to your strength returning to normal levels for a long time and insufficient mental points, you have lost control of the tentacle monster. 】

 …

 This is the system prompt he heard last week.

 Obviously, this is the reason why he was "alienated".

 He could no longer suppress the tentacle monster, so he became its "dependent".

 That’s why Noel wanted to kill him last week.

  Sometimes, for smart people, killing people is also saving others.

 There are three possibilities for Noel to kill him.

　　First, Noel didn’t know that his clone had been sent out to be Boss Rabbit. He thought he would be resurrected from his clone after death, so he wanted to kill him and help him get rid of the influence of alienation.

 Second, Noel accurately guessed that he had a death retracement—but this was unlikely. After all, judging from the situation in the previous week, Noel only guessed that he had a trump card similar to retracement.

Thirdly, Noel hadn’t talked to the Riddler in the last week, and he didn’t see that he had a death rollback. This was just a simple backstab.

However, overall, he believes more in the first guess.

 He turned around and patted the face of Yamada Machichi who was unconscious next to him.

"Well, well..." Yamada Machichi was sleeping soundly when he slapped him awake, his eyes still full of confusion.

 “Have you seen Noel?” Su Mingan asked him.

"Ah, no, no." Yamada Machichi said, "I fell into a coma when I entered the stone castle the day before yesterday."

 “Yeah.” Su Mingan woke up the unconscious Michael next to him again. And Yamada Machichi fainted again. A player like him whose mental strength is not up to par would find it difficult to resist in this environment.

Su Mingan asked Michael about the extent of his time authority.

Michael said that his authority is not to really go back in time, but to "create a situation" - he can freeze the scene within a certain range, and activate 'backtracking' after a certain period of time to return everything to the scene when it was frozen. state.

“I understand.” A white mechanical explosive appeared at Su Mingan’s fingertips. This is the explosive making skill he learned in Bairi Floating City. Although it is powerful, it costs 40 points to make each one, which is not cost-effective. He has not used it for a long time.

He shook the explosive and handed it to Michael before it exploded.

 “Freeze it for an hour,” he said.

　　Michael freezes the explosive on the verge of exploding, and Su Mingan throws it away.

 The explosive exploded with a "boom".

This explosive is extremely lethal and can burst a person's heart at close range.

 He stepped forward, picked up the remains of the explosive, and put it into his pocket.

 After thinking for a moment, he took a deep breath and put it against his chest.
