The prompt sound ended, and the exam interface of the app was finally updated.

[Autumn is the harvest season! ]

Below the season reminder, there are two more rows of circular light spots. Counting from top to bottom, it's exactly 12.

Tang Xinjue noticed that among the 12 light spots, 11 were flashing green, and the remaining one was gray.

Exam rules say there will be 12 "reapers" in the fall. It seems that each light point corresponds to one of them.

Touch the light spot, a more detailed explanation will pop up:

[Green: Reaper is farther away]

[Yellow: Reaper is approaching]

[RED: The Reaper has come to you]

[Grey: Reaper has left]

Tang Xinjue heard Guo Guorumeng's exhalation.

—According to the current color of the light spot, a reaper has already come and left with the "harvest". Now that the other reapers have not arrived, they are temporarily in a safe state.

After confirming safety, Tang Xinjue immediately knocked on the wardrobe door, "Let's come out first."

Guo Guo was the worst - she almost suffocated herself.

The rest of the people are slightly lighter, and their hands and feet are also weak, and they are sweating.

The last few minutes were like a silent walk on the line of life and death. Although several people could not see the "reaper" outside the wardrobe, they could clearly feel the instinctive sound of the creatures. Alarm bell: It is an existence that is dangerous beyond their imagination, far more terrifying than NPCs, dark creatures, ordinary ghosts, etc.!

While the others were adjusting their state, Tang Xinjue took out a piece of paper and quickly drew a pattern on it with a few strokes.

After finishing the painting, several other people looked at it distractedly, and all looked confused: "What is this?"

.

After drawing the things in his mind, Tang Xinjue wiped away the blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, and answered succinctly, "Reaper."

The rest: "!!"

Reaper looks... so curious?

However, the sigh is only a momentary thing, after all, since it is a monster, it is not surprising that it looks like a ghost.

Putting away the pen, Tang Xinjue frowned imperceptibly.

Because she is too sensitive to the senses of game creatures, she passively perceives the existence and status of the other party almost all the time. This is also the reason why her san value dropped rapidly.

"If I feel right, this reaper's patrol should only use this part..." She drew a circle on the cloth strip at the bottom of the rag, "...simply swept all the bedrooms , check it out."

That's why it didn't find the four people hiding in the closet.

Fortunately, a new problem also emerged. Tang Xinjue's expression was solemn: "This is just the first one."

And there are twelve reapers.

Each may be different.

They can't predict what kind of patrol the next reaper will take. At that time, it will be useful to hide in the wardrobe.

Within the range of the bedroom, there is no other better hiding place than a closed wardrobe.

Zhang You was shocked: "So, there is no plan that can be absolutely effective..."

Tang Xinjue confirmed: "Yes, at least with our current capabilities, we cannot find a systematic countermeasure that can deal with all the reapers at the same time."

This time, they may only be able to fight for endurance and luck.

It was 2 minutes before the last reaper left. With Tang Xinjue's quick decision, everyone changed into thick winter clothes and masks. At the same time, he tore off the quilt on the bed and stuffed it all over the sides of the closet, leaving only the central space for people to hide.

"Possessed ghosts once said that they rely on human breath to identify the bedroom, and they will drift over when they smell the smell of human beings."

"Assuming that the reapers will also be able to discern through this when searching for humans, then what we need to do is to reduce our breath leakage as much as possible."

Tang Xinjue took a large pot of cold water from the tap and poured it on the glass window.

Since they came out of the closet again, the vegetation outside the window has disappeared, and it may have been "harvested" according to the season.

Others also splashed the floor of the bedroom with icy cold water, including the door of the desk and chairs, to remove traces of their activities.

In the end, one person squeezed a frozen three-foot amulet, which cooled the bedroom by dozens of degrees, as if back to the winter dungeon, everyone in the thick clothes, as if the blood flow was frozen Gotta slow down.

"Wait for me, wait for me."

Guo Guo pulled out a cloth bag and stuffed it with self-defense tools and a bunch of parts—before they entered the closet for the first time, in order to prevent the alarm from attracting the attention of monsters, Guo Guo and The early warning props that Zhang You reluctantly disassembled.

"The color has changed!"

Zhang You let out a short, low voice, anxious.

app exam interface, at the bottom of the 12 light spots, one of the light spots turned yellow.

This means that a reaper is approaching them!

Several people immediately did not hesitate, grabbed all their belongings in a hurry, and quickly got into the closet.

Guo Guo put her hands together and kept praying: Don't come, don't come, don't come...

The reaper's light spot changes from yellow to red.

"Bang!"

The balcony window seems to be hit by a heavy object, and the sound of glass breaking is clear and harsh!

Guo Guo was so frightened that she almost cried out, she covered her mouth with all her might, and instead read silently:

Don't find, don't find, don't find...

There seems to be something crawling on the ground, from the balcony to the bedroom door, the rustling sound is getting closer and closer to the wardrobe.

This reaper is obviously much more detailed than the previous one.

Guo Guo desperately grabbed Tang Xinjue's hand.

Tang Xinjue didn't feel good either.

She could feel that the monster did not really enter the bedroom, but only used a part of her body, or a clone, but even so, she inevitably felt more.

Cold…dark yellow…spitting letters…giant pupils…

[Untouchables (Level 3): Your san value is severely damaged, health value -55]

[Your sanity is overwhelmed]

[Stop, or go crazy, just a thought. ]

Tang Xinjue closed her eyes, bit her lower lip, her nails sank into her palms, trying to use pain to relieve the sensation, but to no avail.

No, you can't sit still.

There will be a second and third monster of the same level next. Does she have to suffer a mental blow every time? If it goes on like this, even if it doesn't even wait halfway, even if the health bar is not drained, it will go crazy because the san value is cleared.

Tang Xinjue runs his thoughts like crazy.

There must be a solution, and she must find a solution... Just like surviving countless nightmares, she can control her thoughts, consciousness, reactions, and she can also control perception.

What did she do in the nightmare?

Tang Xinjue's heart rose a little of enlightenment.

Reality, to some extent, blocked her control over her brain, reduced her strength, and magnified her weakness.

But if this is a nightmare, she can do it.

—then treat it as if you were in a dream.

Acting decisively, Tang Xinjue gathered his attention, returned his thoughts, endured the attack of his spirit, sank in the vast sea of ​​consciousness, and then sank—

Found.

In the darkness, Tang Xinjue opened her eyes, but if there is light at this time, someone will see her eyes lose focus for a moment, and then become empty and indifferent.

Only Tang Xinjue knew that she felt no danger now.

The sharply decreasing san value suddenly stagnated, and the negative states began to disappear one by one.

[Perceptual closure: This is a buff created by the thinking subject, the specific function is not yet clear. Of course, no one knows better than you, right? ]

…

After an unknown period of time, Guo Guo poked her tremblingly - there was no sound outside.

In the exam interface, the second light point loses its brightness and turns gray.

The second reaper is gone too!

Seeing this prompt, Guo Guo almost cried on the spot. She sniffed, and just wanted to say something to Tang Xinjue next to her, but the girl next to her suddenly fell down, knocked open the cabinet door and fell to the ground.

"Heart!"

As Guo Guo screamed, the other two quickly pushed open the cabinet door and came out. They were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them—

Tang Xinjue's face was pale and his eyes were closed, his facial features were wrinkled together in pain, his hands were clenched into fists and pressed against his temples, the whole person curled up into a small ball, looking extremely painful.

"Heart! What's the matter with you?"

Ignoring others, a few people quickly helped her up, and they didn't dare to move easily because they didn't know the situation. She could only lightly press her shoulders and temples, trying to make Tang Xinjue feel better.

Fortunately, within a few minutes, the girl's body stretched into a bowstring stretched out and opened her eyes, except for a few more bloodshots.

"I'm fine." Tang Xinjue said hoarsely.

She took a sip of the water that Zhang You handed over, her face recovered a little, and she smiled apologetically: "I just tried a new technique, but I couldn't control it when I took it back, I didn't expect the first The aftermath of this breakthrough is so strong.”

But at the same time, it is not without gain.

"Xinjue, your health value?!" Guo Guo suddenly widened her eyes and blurted out.

From her eyes, under [Dorm Member Status], the health bar after Tang Xinjue's name has been close to the red line ten minutes ago, and it has returned to the green state in the blink of an eye.

A teardrop that was about to form hung in the corner of Guo Guo's eye. At this time, she didn't know whether it should fall or not. She was stupid.

Mist grass, the total health value is 100, Tang Xinjue recovered dozens of points in one breath? ?
