00050 Deadly Test

As Lin Sen walked down the steps, the Holy Spirit Knights on both sides of the golden stairs knelt down and saluted.

Lin Sen was a little uncomfortable receiving such a grand welcome for the first time. After all, nothing good had happened to him since this turning point in his life.

At this moment, in Lin Sen's heart, Lemidia's voice came: "Don't look back. When you step on the golden stairs, there are only two endings."

"Huh!?" Lin Sen was startled. The joy he felt just now was gone, and he smelled the smell of the pit again.

"The first outcome is that you successfully pass the test, become the inheritor of King Xin's legacy and leave the treasure house safely. The second outcome is that you fail to pass the test, then you will be wrapped in endless darkness and trapped in eternal prison!"

After hearing this, Lin Sen's expression stiffened.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"You didn't ask me?" Lemidia looked very innocent, and his innocent tone sounded like a cute uncle.

Is this inability to guess also a kind of inheritance...

Lin Sen was speechless. He pinched his eyebrows and continued to move forward.

"Okay, then what do you mean by test?" Lin Sen began to make amends.

However, Lemedia said innocently: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you this."

"Ha? Why? Do you want to watch me try my luck? If it fails, how can you rekindle the king's oath?" Lin Sen stopped again, now he wanted to hit someone.

"Slip of the tongue, it's not that it's impossible, it's that I don't know what kind of test you will face, because when the first salary king sealed the treasure house, he found thirteen sages, and these thirteen wise men were responsible for sealing the treasure house.

A taboo test was set up, and after the setting was completed, all thirteen sages rested in the treasure house, so there is no specific content of the test in my memory..." Lemidia was also a little embarrassed.

Lin Sen understood it and summed it up in one sentence.

"I can not help you……"

"Okay." The irritability was only temporary. Lin Sen nodded, looked at the open door under the stairs, and stopped asking questions.

When Lin Sen walked down nearly a thousand steps and arrived outside the gate located in the dark deep sea, the sunlight above his head began to gradually dim.

Lin Sen looked up and saw that the ocean was closing again, and the golden stairs behind him were quietly disappearing. The dreamlike unreality of everything made Lin Sen deeply feel three words.

"Unscientific!"

However, this unscientificness was just due to the gaps outside Lin Sen's understanding. Without thinking much, he stepped into the door.

As soon as you enter the treasure house, the first thing that greets you is endless darkness.

And as the door of the treasure house closed quietly, Lin Sen, who was in the darkness, even felt hazy and unconscious.

I was about to ask Lemidia where to go next, but then I thought about it.

Anyway, she didn't know anything about it.

Lin Sen decided to wait and see what would happen. Darkness was temporary after all. If he really had to grope his way forward in this darkness, then this kind of test would be too perfunctory.

Sure enough, after being baptized in darkness for a long time, Lin Sen's mood was not anxious. Instead, he calmed down in the dark night. At that moment when he was almost confused, a little light quietly appeared.

Lin Sen was a little uncomfortable with the sudden sight of light. Although the light was small, it was dazzling in the distance.

Lin Sen frowned, hesitated for a moment, and decided to walk towards the light.

But as soon as he took a step, the light instantly magnified, so big that it was like looking directly into the blazing sun, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

The light was so dazzling that Lin Sen tried to block it with his hands. As a result, the originally gentle sunlight suddenly became blazing hot.

"Hiss!" Lin Sen cried out in pain and hurriedly put down his hand. Then the light came into his eyes again, and his eyes regained their original gentleness, and even felt a little more soothing.

You can't look directly at it, and you can't block it, right...

Lin Sen understood the principle and could only helplessly close his eyes and not look at the light.

"What should we do?" But Lin Sen, who closed his eyes, returned to the feeling of being in the dark.

Is pure light also eternal darkness?

Lin Sen echoed these words in his heart.

"Wu Huan, have you received five-sense training?" Lin Sen stood still. He was bathed in the light and closed his eyes. He suddenly thought of something. Having no vision does not mean that he cannot control his body.

"Yes, I have."

"Do you have any good ideas about the current situation?"

Wu Huan thought for a while, and then said: "Slow down your breathing first, let your heart rate drop, and then try to feel the sound with your heart."

Yes, sound, people's understanding of the world, apart from vision, is hearing.

So Lin Sen calmed himself down first and slowly took deep breaths to adjust the rhythm of his heart rate.

After his heart rate dropped very low, Lin Sen began to listen intently to all the sounds.

However……

The whole world seemed to have disappeared, and that feeling was even more frightening than being deaf.

Lin Sen raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the result...

Everything is quiet, and what follows after the quiet is a sense of suffocation...

The air is gone!

Lin Sen was shocked and opened his eyes. After just two minutes of isolation, he lost his perception of the world. However, the dazzling heat that broke into his field of vision was still there. He subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and then the blazing heat came again.



"Ah...cough..." Lin Sen cried out in pain, and the air seemed to come back again, but the severe discomfort accompanied by the suffocation still tortured Lin Sen.

Is this the first test? It’s too difficult!

Lin Sen slowly stood up with his eyes closed. It seemed that the method given by Wu Huan was not working.

"Is there any other way?"

Wu Huan is out of ideas.

"Five sense training is a collaborative effort to sharpen the senses. It doesn't seem to work here..."

Lin Sen let out a sigh of relief, okay, let's use the stupidest method to move forward.

However, after losing vision and hearing, pure touch seems particularly clumsy for humans, because humans walk upright on two legs, and the cerebellum is very dependent on the cooperative feedback of vision and hearing, which makes it difficult for humans to deal with deafness and blindness.

The simplest walk.

Because someone has done tests, if you walk with your eyes closed, it is difficult to walk in a straight line. If the distance is enough, you will even change the direction without knowing it.

Lin Sen also knows this, but the test of the treasure house is really a bit confusing and exaggerated. This method can be regarded as returning to nature.

Let’s try it first…

Lin Sen did not move forward rashly, but slowly squatted down, then slowly stretched out his hand, tentatively touching the ground.

This process is very simple, but it tests your courage while being invisible.

It went smoothly, Lin Sen didn't touch anything strange.

But then, Lin Sen hesitated again. After all, he couldn't see or hear the danger at all. If he encountered a very simple trap while advancing like this, Lin Sen wouldn't be able to handle it.

However, after hesitation, Lin Sen still groped forward one meter.

The ground was very smooth, like a polished mirror, and it felt cold to the touch.

Okay, okay... keep walking! Come on!

Lin Sen encouraged himself. Although this method seemed a bit low, fortunately it was effective.

However, when moving forward again, Lin Sen suddenly heard the sound of water in his ears.

"kindness?"

Lin Sen was shocked and wanted to open his eyes to take a look, but he forced himself to hold back. The burning sensation was so profound.

And with the sound of water, countless thoughts appeared in Lin Sen's mind.

Pool? Waves? Or is there something in the pool? Or is water filling this treasure house?

Too many thoughts began to make Lin Sen panic, especially the last thought was particularly profound. After all, Lin Sen still remembered that the sea was outside the treasure house!

Sure enough, as Lin Sen's thoughts deepened, Lin Sen's hand touched the water.

The cold water quickly covered Lin Sen's palms. Lin Sen stood up in a hurry, but bumped into something hard.

When I raised my hand and touched it, it was as smooth as a mirror.

Another wall? I climbed into the middle of the wall?

As soon as this idea appeared, Lin Sen hurriedly stepped back, but who would have thought that a wall appeared out of thin air behind the empty space at the moment Lin Sen made a move.

"I'm going! What's going on!" Lin Sen was a little scared, especially when he couldn't see.

Moreover, the sound of water flow was getting louder. Lin Sen could already feel that the water had reached his abdomen, and now he could only barely squat. It seemed that it would be filled with water soon. At that time, Lin Sen

About to drown!

Lin Sen's desire to survive began to increase crazily. He kept trying to explore around and no longer worried about anything else.

However, despite this lack of worry, something happened that frightened Lin Sen even more.

That was Lin Sen touching a face in the water!

"Ah!! What is it!"

Lin Sen was so frightened that he couldn't control it anymore. He hurriedly retracted his hand and opened his eyes to look!

But I saw...

A little light flickered in the distance, and everything around him was as dark as when Lin Sen first came in.

There is no water, no walls, and no faces.

Everything disappeared. As fear occupied Lin Sen's mind, everything was scattered and turned into a blank.

Lin Sen stared at his hands in astonishment.

He suddenly understood something during this test!

At this time, Lemidia's voice came from the bottom of Lin Sen's heart.

"The title of the First Knight is engraved with fearlessness. I think it might be able to help you."

Lemidia's reminder gave me an instant epiphany when I was looking for that inspiration.

Yes, this is the test of fearlessness.

What Lin Sen feared was magnified, and everything Lin Sen didn't want to see appeared.

This also explains that when Lin Sen was silent in the darkness for a long time and was dazzled by the light, the world was enveloped in light.

It also explained the sea water, the panic of being oppressed and forced into a desperate situation with no way out, and that face...

And that woman's face...

Lin Sen remembered, that was Meirui...

Everything stems from the fear of the unknown, dependence on the senses, and the weakness of the subconscious mind.

Insight.

"This test is really awesome!" Lin Sen admired sincerely and smiled confidently.
