The gray-black water seeping from the bottom of the raft flowed along the threshold, to the door, and into the soil.
"Leave it to me, I'm good at handling this situation."
Yinghua stopped Qianye who was about to speak, and instead slammed the door: "FBI! Open the door!"
"I really don't have any big problem. Really, I can recover tomorrow... eh?"
Sakura, who didn't follow the plot, made the sound coming from the stone house stop abruptly.
Let us remember Yinghua’s ugly face!
…
"...That's what happened."
Ten minutes later, Qianye explained last night's experience to the players in the stone house clearing.
Lanner's character has become a monster - this is the reason why she cannot restore Qianye. The tied rope makes it unable to break free from the bondage. At the same time, because it has the same aura as the attacker, it avoids the stone house from being searched. Indirectly
Let Musu survive.
As for Mu Su's condition, it is much easier to understand - it has nothing to do with the prejudice that "he is sick". The environment and being with weird people all night caused Mu Su's sanity to seriously drop. Although there is no specific value, it is not too low.
Musu, who shouted "The key is in the keyhole", was carried to the open space to photosynthesize and recover his sanity. "Lannar", who was still tied to the pillars of the stone house, was visited by curious players one after another. Occasionally, some players were attracted by "Lannar".
” responded with a cry of “Whoa!”
This was a bit offensive, but Lanner, who had been contacted, said she didn't care.
As for whether the countdown was not interrupted because Lanner was not a human but was still a contestant, or whether Musu was not a contestant but was a human being, there is no way to verify it, just like what happened last night.
Maybe everything will be clear only when Mu Su wakes up.
"The biggest crisis has passed, but just in case..."
With 380 minutes left in the countdown, Qianye asked the players to re-check the island to be on guard against any surprises at the last moment.
Different from the appearance of a "deep diver" or an amphibious creature they had previously guessed, the monster shape of "Lannar" is more inclined to a humanoid land creature: the hair follicles have mutated, and the body surface has an atavistic fine brown-red color.
There is hair; two deformed limbs are drilled out from the armpits; the humerus of the upper limbs is elongated in proportion, with the palms and knees level; the body is slender and thin, it is not yet clear whether it is a racial trait or a monstrosity that consumes too much energy.
"Why not Cat Girl...why not!"
Mu Su's nonsense came from the clearing again.
Qianye continued to observe "Lana'er". It was obvious that its form at this moment was not known for its strength, so it could not break free from the rope. The sanity value would decrease at a constant rate when approaching "Lannar". The conclusion of the test was that if the sanity value at this time was the same as last night's
If the reduction speed is the same, the Mu Su will decrease by nearly one-third.
Taking into account environmental factors, Mu Su's sanity value can only be lower than this.
Qianye thought of the data posted on the game tribe. About the changes after the sanity value did not drop by one-tenth.
As for sanity value, early players’ concepts came from various Lovecraftian literature, movies, and games. However, different works have slightly different settings for “sanity value”.
Regarding the sanity value of the "After Sleep" game, players generally admit that it originated from a time dream of Ngalalalekha.
The Time Dream is a hidden dream that opens after the third round of the Death Tournament [Haiwang Cape Thousand Years Ago] after falling asleep. Unlike the general dream of "lying in bed and falling asleep", the Time Dungeon requires specific items to trigger.
This kind of prop usually has special characteristics, such as the prop obtained by Ngalalalekha.

[This bottle of suspiciously swaying purple-red liquid contains stories from long ago]
*When you hold it, you feel in your heart what will happen when you drink it.
Ngalalalekha did so and then entered a special dream he named "Time Dream".
In the time dream, he played a police officer involved in investigating an incident in a lunatic asylum.
Unfortunately, because Ngalalalekha was a new player shortly after purchasing the game, she wasted the opportunity to find out more information. Apart from the place names mentioned many times such as "Belfast, Rodster Harbor, and Watchtown", she just passively followed the plot.
A conversation was overheard outside the Sheriff's Office.
A conversation between an exorcist telling another exorcist about what sanity is.
Ngalalalekha wrote down this conversation and posted it:
Sanity value, or mental value.
It was circulated a long time ago, long enough for the Night Watch to be formed in this world, and long enough for the first generation of the Demon Slayer organization to have just been born.
It originally meant a person's mental state - and it still does today.
Diving, staying in a dark room, a fire scene, being frightened, and the death of a loved one will all affect a person's mental state, and the earliest sanity points also refer to these.
Until people gradually got rid of ignorance, sailed long-masted ships, explored outwards, and began to come into contact with the farther world, the mysterious and weird real world.
However, the world at that time was not as dangerous as it is now. There were only a few people who encountered strange things, but without exception, most people who came back alive after encountering strange things showed a kind of madness. If the situation was better, their temperament would change drastically and they would be full of negative emotions.
.The worse ones went crazy.
This led the first generation of demon slayers at that time to start research. The first person to propose the true theory of sanity value was the first generation of demon slayers: Isaac Einstein.
He believes that everyone's sanity value is different and will be affected by personality. For example, if a person who likes making friends and has an indifferent temperament hears about the death of a friend at the same time, the sanity value will decrease differently.
Sanity will be reduced due to negative emotions, but can naturally be restored through positive emotions, such as happiness and joy.
This is the most basic composition of character: the lower the sanity value, the darker the person's character, which is close to unreasonable.
After Einstein constructed a normal person's sanity model, he proposed a new theory: Continuous and rapid negative emotions in a short period of time will permanently lower a person's sanity threshold.
For example, family members die one after another in a short period of time.
Einstein applied the new theory to a deeper level, the weird people wandering in this world. Because he found that the sanity values of those survivors tended to be at their lowest without exception, and even those who came into contact with them and listened to their stories would
Irreversible reduction in sanity.
No one knows where these strange things come from. Some say that the evil spirit space is coinciding with this world, while others say that they are already there, but human exploration has induced them.
Fifteen years after sanity theory was proposed, Isaac Einstein created the first sanity test, which allowed people to visualize their mental state.
It is not accurate to say that it was made. Strictly speaking, Einstein used the ability of a special evil spirit to materialize the sanity value.
This is why people who know the value of sanity need to take risks - because it itself is an existence that will reduce sanity.
