Sanity Value.In the various Cthulhu game settings of his previous life, it was also called SAN value.When Lu Ze created the Illusion Realm, he combined this System with the Fear Soul Stringing Array.Without light, or under external factors like evil entities, the Sanity Value would decrease.This was not merely a numerical decrease.At the same time, the effects of the Fear Soul Stringing Array, buried within the Illusion Realm, would slowly spread.Just like at this moment,A cold wind blew from outside, and even Zhong Yi, whose will was as firm as steel, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine."Junior Brother Lu is really something, making the temperature difference effect so good."Zhong Yi chuckled to himself, then followed the others into the Abandoned House.The old, dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, letting out a "creak" that was particularly jarring in the silent air.Inside the pitch-black Abandoned House, only a single lantern on the wall of the main hall flickered with a dim flame.As the four pushed open the door, the flame suddenly trembled and then abruptly went out.The air was filled with a Death Qi."Haha... Old Devil Lu is really something, actually using these low-level tricks to scare us... Hahahaha..."Zhou Qiaoling's laughter was a bit dry.As she laughed, she took out a Spirit Lantern from her backpack.This was a complimentary basic lighting tool provided on the carriage.It contained a glowing Ore inscribed with a Magic Array, which could illuminate a certain area when taken out.Since it was a level one item, it contained many impurities, and visibility was very poor."It's still too dark with just the Spirit Lantern... Lao Zhou, go light the lantern."Watching his Sanity Value continuously drop, Zhong Yi frowned."What, Old Zhong, are you afraid of the dark too?"Zhou Yue teased him with a laugh."Afraid of what?! Don't you know that being too dark will lower your Sanity Value?""I think you're just scared... Otherwise, why don't you go yourself?""Are you making excuses because you're afraid to go?"...While the two bickered, the brave Mu Yawen walked straight forward, picked up the matches under the lantern, and relit it.As the firelight brightened, the rate at which the Sanity Value was decreasing finally slowed down.The four looked around, surveying their surroundings.The house wasn't large, but its structure was extremely oppressive; just walking inside gave a suffocating, heavy feeling.Mu Yawen and Zhou Yue went room by room, lighting all the lanterns, and only then did the entire house become slightly less eerie.The Sanity Value also began to slowly rise.Zhong Yi sat on a chair in the main hall, continuously looking at the book in his hand.This was an item granted by the System, detailing various knowledge about evil entities."Our mission is to determine the type of evil entity...""The various Magic Treasures on the carriage are key items for investigating the characteristics of the evil entity.""Each evil entity only moves within a fixed area, which means... we first need to find this area, the 【Ghost Room】.""The 【Ghost Room】 will be colder than other places due to excessive Yin Qi..."Zhong Yi rubbed his chin, muttering to himself.Vaguely, he seemed to have found the way to play the Illusion Realm."Slap!"A hand suddenly clapped on Zhong Yi's shoulder, making him jump, and he looked up.He met Zhou Yue's mischievous gaze."No way, Old Zhong, that scared you?""..."Zhong Yi rubbed his forehead, speechless."I don't know if it's my imagination... but after our Sanity Value drops, we seem to be much more sensitive to our surroundings.""Remove the 'we,' it's just you!"Zhou Yue teased, laughing."Oh right, what were you muttering about just now?"Zhong Yi pointed to the book containing information on evil entities: "Look, I've found the way to clear the Illusion Realm... The first step is to find the Ghost Room with the heaviest Yin Qi.""I think you're just talking to embolden yourself..."As the two were speaking, suddenly there was a "click," and a flash of white light.Zhou Yue nervously turned his head.He saw Zhou Qiaoling holding an item resembling a Projection Device, grinning at the two of them."Hahahaha, Big Brother, you were just mocking Senior Brother Zhong? Look how pale your own face is! Like you've seen a ghost!"Zhou Qiaoling immediately burst out laughing.What she held was one of the cheap items given by the System, a Snapshot Camera.This thing was a Beggars' Edition (beggar's version) Projection Device, only capable of capturing static images.Zhou Yue's old face flushed: "Nonsense!... Nonsense! There's no way my face is pale, it must be the light!""Really? If you don't believe me, come..."Zhou Qiaoling was speaking when her face suddenly turned deathly pale."What's wrong? Trying to trick me again? I'm not that easy to fool, Zhou Qiaoling!"Zhou Yue's face darkened, always feeling that Zhou Qiaoling was setting a trap for him.The latter, however, shakily handed the Snapshot Camera in her hand to the two of them.Zhou Yue and Zhong Yi curiously leaned over.In the black-and-white picture,Between Zhou Yue and Zhong Yi, there was actually a disheveled, blurry-faced woman standing!At this moment, the comments in the live stream immediately burst into laughter."Yo yo yo, finally seeing a ghost?""Quick, go catch her!""Where did this wild ghost come from, daring to provoke a Lingxiao Sect True Disciple?""Since I ascended to Nascent Soul, I haven't seen a ghost in a long time, now that I think about it, I really miss it.""Junior Brother Lu's low-level tricks are so funny, hahaha.""Why aren't the two True Disciples laughing?"...The Cultivators outside, unaffected by the Fear Soul Stringing Array, naturally couldn't experience the terror within.Little did they know... at this moment, Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue's hearts violently trembled, and both their faces lost a few shades of color.The two slowly twisted their necks ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) backward.It was empty; there was nothing."I think Old Zhong is right, let's go find the Ghost Room first."Zhou Yue didn't argue this time, obediently pulling out his Finger-Cold Needle.The colder the surrounding temperature, the more the Finger-Cold Needle would turn towards the direction marked "cold," clearly existing for the purpose of finding the Ghost Room."Hmm, without further ado, let's go now..."Zhong Yi stood up from the chair. He was just about to go find the Ghost Room with Zhou Yue when he suddenly felt something was wrong... His feet, as if filled with lead, couldn't lift an inch!Zhong Yi lowered his head in confusion, his breathing suddenly stopping."What's wrong, Old Zhong?"Zhou Yue and Zhou Qiaoling curiously looked at Zhong Yi, who stood rooted to the spot with a deep frown.Following his gaze, their eyes slowly moved downward—Zhong Yi's feet were actually wearing a pair of blood-red embroidered shoes!Blood dripped from the tips of the shoes, 'drip-drop, drip-drop.'In an instant, the Sanity Value of all three plummeted by a large margin!"Ah!!!!"An inexplicable fear instantly consumed Zhou Qiaoling's mind, letting out a tragic scream."What's wrong, what's wrong?"Mu Yawen, who was exploring the surroundings, heard the scream and quickly ran over.Just then,The candlelight in the main hall's lantern flickered violently a few times.The light became bright and dim intermittently.A gust of Yin wind blew through.All the lanterns in the entire house extinguished.The air fell into a deathly silence.
