after falling asleep

Chapter 881 52. Happy New Year's Day!

The gray-black water seeping from the bottom of the raft flowed along the threshold, to the front of the door, and into the mud.

"Leave it to me, I'm good at dealing with this situation."

Yinghua stopped Qianye who was about to speak, and instead slammed on the door: "FBI! Open the door!"

"I really don't have any big problems, really, I can recover tomorrow...eh?"

Yinghua, who didn't go on according to the plot, stopped the voice from the stone house abruptly.

Let us remember Yinghua's ugly face!

……

"...that's how it happened."

Ten minutes later, Qianye explained to the players in the open space of the stone house what happened last night.

Lanna's character has turned into a monster - that's why she can't reply to Qianye.The binding of the rope made it unable to break free from the shackles of the monster. At the same time, because it had the same aura as the attacker, it prevented the stone house from being searched, which indirectly allowed Musu to survive.

As for Musu's condition, it is much easier to understand - it has nothing to do with the prejudice of "he is sick", the environment and getting along with the weird all night caused Musu's sanity to drop severely.Although there is no specific value, it is not too low.

Musu, who shouted that "the key is in the keyhole", was carried to the open space to restore sanity through photosynthesis, and "Lannaer", who was still bound to the pillars of the stone house, was visited by curious players one after another. ’ in response with a shout of “Whoah”.

This is a bit offensive, but Lan Naer, who has already contacted, said that she doesn't care.

As for whether the countdown has not been interrupted because Lan Naer is not a human being but is still considered a player, or Musu is not a player but is human, it is the same as what happened last night, and there is no way to verify it.

Maybe everything will be clear only after Musu wakes up.

"The biggest crisis has passed, but just in case..."

With 380 minutes remaining in the countdown, Qianye asked the players to re-check the island to beware of accidents at the last moment.

Different from the appearance of "deep diver" or the appearance of amphibians they guessed before, the monsterization of "Lanaer" is more inclined to humanoid land creatures: the hair follicles are mutated, and the surface of the body appears fine brown red like atavistic Fluffy; two deformed limbs drilled out of the armpits near the armpits; the proportion of the humerus of the upper limbs is elongated, and the palms are at the same level as the knees; the body is slender and thin, and it is not sure whether the racial characteristics or the weirdness consumes too much energy.

"Why not a cat girl...why not!"

Musu's nonsense came from the open space again.

Qianye continued to observe "Lannaer".Obviously, its current form is not known for its strength, so it couldn't break free from the rope.The Sanity Point close to "Lanaer" will drop at a constant rate. The test conclusion is that if the speed of Sanity Point decrease at this time is the same as last night, Mu Su will drop by nearly one-third.

Considering environmental factors, Mu Su's sanity value could only be lower than this.

Qianye thought of the data post on the game tribe.About the change after every tenth of sanity value drops.

Regarding the sanity value, earlier players’ concept of it originated from various Lovecraftian literature, film and television and games.However, different works have slightly different settings for "sanity value".

Regarding the sanity value of the game "After a Deep Sleep", players generally admit that it originated from a time dream of Ngalalalekha.

Time Dreamland is a hidden dreamland opened after the third round of death tournament [Wanghaijiao Millennium Years ago] after deep sleep.Different from the general dream of "lying on the bed and falling asleep", the time dungeon needs specific props to trigger.

Such props usually have characteristics, like the props that Ngalalalekha got.

【Sweet Baron's Dream】

【Story】

【rare】

[This suspiciously swaying purple-red liquid holds a story from long ago]

*You feel when you hold it, what happens when you drink it.

Ngalalalekha did so, and entered a special dream state which he called the "Time Dream".

In Time Dream, he plays a police officer involved in investigating an incident in a madhouse.

Unfortunately, because Ngalalalekha was a new player shortly after buying the game, he wasted the opportunity to find out more information. Except for the place names mentioned many times such as "Belfast, Rodster Harbor, and Watch Town", they just followed the plot passively. A conversation is heard outside the sheriff's office.

A conversation by an exorcist telling another exorcist what sanity is.

Ngalalalekha took note of the conversation and posted it:
Sanity, or spirit.

It has been circulated for a long time, and it has been so long that the Night's Watch has not been formed in this world, and that the first generation of the Demon Slayer organization has just been born.

It was originally meant to refer to a person's mental state - and of course it does now.

Diving, staying in a dark room, a fire scene, being frightened, and the death of a loved one will affect a person's mental state, and the earliest sanity value also refers to these.

Until people gradually get rid of ignorance, long-masted sailboats sail away, explore outwards, and begin to contact the farther world, the mysterious and grotesque real world.

However, the world at that time was not as dangerous as it is now. There were only a few people who encountered weirdness, but without exception, most of the people who came back alive after encountering weirdness showed a kind of madness.If the situation is better, the temperament will change greatly, and it will be full of negative emotions.Slightly less straight out of madness.

This led to the first generation of demon slayer organizations at the time to conduct research.The first to put forward the theory of true sanity value is the first generation of demon slayer: Isaac Einstein.

He believes that everyone's Sanity value is different, and will be affected by personality.For example, people who love making friends and people who are indifferent at the same time hear about the death of their friends, and the decrease in Sanity value is not the same.

Sanity will decrease due to negative emotions, and naturally it can also be recovered through positive emotions, such as happiness and joy.

This is the most basic character composition: the lower the sanity value, the darker the person's character, which is close to unreasonable.

After Einstein built a normal person's sanity value model, he proposed a new theory: continuous and rapid negative emotions in a short period of time will permanently reduce the threshold of a person's sanity value.

For example, family members die in a short period of time.

Einstein applied the new theory on a deeper level, the weirdness that roamed the world.Because he found that the sanity of the survivors was approaching the lowest without exception, and even touching them and listening to them would irreversibly reduce their sanity.

No one knows where these weirdnesses come from.Some people say that the evil spirit space is overlapping with this world, and some people say that they were originally there, and it was only human exploration that induced them.

Fifteen years after the sanity theory was proposed, Isaac Einstein produced the first surrogate sanity test, which allowed people to manifest their own mental conditions.

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.

That's why anyone who knows Sanity needs to take a risk - because it's a sanity-reducing being in and of itself.
