Chapter 35: Trifecta Of Checks

There was still some time before the agreed rendezvous in the evening. Although he wasted some time at the church ruins, it was good to get engraving. He knew that there was a big guy waiting there. If he met a guy who he could not fight, he would take him there if possible. The investigator couldn’t handle it, but what about the Light of the Stars?

“It was so f**king thrilling. I miss poetry.”

Gasping for breath back to the town, Huahua’s taut nerves finally relaxed. They unexpectedly met the Star Color but were still alive! They haven’t been attacked yet! No, no! The guy was ready to attack, but she didn’t know why he stopped! If the attack was carried out, only one of them would have survived. The other must stay to face the enemy. Although Star Color was very strong, it was strong in physical immunity. It was reasonable that guys who didn’t have physical immunity BUFF and dared to show blood bar were checked back and forth several times.

It was a waste for Juzi to get the skill of sailing a fishing boat. This time, the script was not a special show for the white octopus mother. She got the engraving that represented the awe of Yogg… then she ran into the Star Color. There was no doubt that this time the opponent was the Bubble’s race, but… what was the Bubble’s race? Was it original?

“Study poetry? All right, I’ll give you a start, Gou…”

Yu Yi too was very relaxed. Star Color was killed several times in the dream, no pressure at all.

“Dogs kneel and woof each other.”

“Wang… Where are you going next?”

“There’s still a little time. Shall we go and have a look at the clock tower? It’s very close anyway.”

He looked up at the landmark-like building. The clock tower was very high, completely a landmark of the town, and not far from the entrance. Huahua called a car. Yu Yi took out his mobile phone, edited the information he got, and took a picture of the engraving then sent it directly to his teammates; even Huahua received a text message.

“Keep it ready in case it comes in hand.”

Because of the mobile phone, they could exchange information with each other even if they were not together. This was not a net group or a real group. They could communicate out-of-game contents in parentheses; this was a real game group. Although players could communicate secretly, the friend communication system typing was very troublesome. One might as well just send a text message in a group.

The car stopped at the clock tower. Yu Yi paid the driver and got out of the car. He looked up at the towering clock tower. It was hard to imagine that such a small town would have such a building. He felt some discord. This was also why Yu Yi came back to the clock tower.

There was still a certain difference between this group and the network group in the game. After one got the map in the network group, KP generally would not draw a detailed map, but would only give him a few important locations with marks. But it was different in the game. KP would really give you a whole set of maps, so there were all architectural signs, and one could only rely on his own intuition to conduct a survey. Investigation alone would take a lot of time and the difficulty kept increasing.

It could only be said that Yu Yi and Huahua’s luck were good enough and bad enough to find the remains of the church and the Star Color.

“KP, I want to scout the outside of the clock tower. Huahua, you scout inside later.”

“. rd = 3, great success!”

The clock tower became strange in Yu Yi’s eyes. The original dilapidated decoration became very simple. The clock tower made of stone and wood was suddenly full of some mysterious colors. The door of the clock tower was locked, but the window on the second floor was open. Because it was made of stone, it was easy to climb up to the window of the second floor. It was possible to enter the clock tower from there.

Dang!

Suddenly, there was a sound of a bell from the clock tower, which attracted Yu Yi. Yu Yi looked up at the bell that kept ringing and was attracted by the things above the clock.

Red planet. Chaos, numbness, and fear climbed up Yu Yi’s spine, and he even felt that he could not breathe. On the red planet floating at the top of the clock, a giant eye made of magma was quietly looking at his direction or directly at him. His eyes stayed focused on Yu Yi’s body through thousands of light-years.

“Inspiration check! . rd = 11 Passed!”

“Willpower check! . rd = 91 Failed!”

“SC check! . rd = 71 Slightly failed. Go ahead, 1d100”

After seeing the red planet, when Yu Yi was in fear, KP’s voice sounded and quickly gave Yu Yi a trifecta of checks.

“It is agreed that this script will not have the desperate situation of 1d100?!”

He bit his tongue, so that he could recover from the fear. Yu Yi bit his teeth to look at the red planet. The forerunner of destruction, the star of judgment, the Outer God Ghroth. Nickname, Big Eyeball.

“You are all so presumptuous. I think Star Color may not be enough. I’m talking about no brilliant eight-facet hidden dice. Be reasonable. I’m ready to release the dog.”

The sanity value of Yu Yi was an integer of 70 points, while the SC check threw 71 points… This made Yu Yu change from 1d10 to 1d100. I shouldn’t have f**king casted Inspect! Who knows that I would be able to scout here successfully and see the Outer God! I thought it has something to do with bubbles?! How come it suddenly changes to Big Eyeball!

“No reasons! I’ll take a look at Maoism first and then I’ll reason with you! ”

With clenched teeth, Yu Yi threw out the 1d100. This actually counted as facing the Outer God. The collapse of the three values and the collapse of reason caused by the incredible and chaotic scene.

“. rd = 9”

[Facing the unknown god is like seeing the truth of the world; you feel the darkness approaching, nameless fear and despair hanging over you. Great pressure drives you crazy… Your symptom is… Cannibalism… The duration is nine rounds, which means nine hours. Every time you see a human body or an injured human, you need to pass a Willpower check. If you fail, you will go into an uncontrollable manic state. You will kill each human and eat him. This will cause you to face the sanity test of 1d6!]

[You have lost 9 sanity value. Noted that if you lose a little sanity value today due to uncontrollable factors, you will enter permanent insanity for 1d3/ months. If you enter another instance, the symptoms of madness will stay in your character card.]

[. rd = 51, luck verification passed.]

It was another lucky check and then the bell stopped. The terrifying world disappeared in front of Yu Yi. He saw Huahua’s slightly concerned face.

“What’s the matter? Why are you suddenly in a mad state? And 1d100?!”

Yu Yi’s personal experience was invisible to Huahua. She could only see Yu Yi’s system prompts and knew that Yu Yi was in a daze.

“This instance… Never let it appear in the real world… Damn it, I had great success in scouting the clock tower and I saw Big Eyeball.”

A sense of dizziness hung on Yu Yi’s head. He clenched his teeth and leaned against the wall of the clock tower. It took him a long time to recover.

“Big Eyeball? Ghroth?”

Huahua took a cool breath. Ghroth? Star of destruction? Isn’t this instance a low-difficulty instance? How can there be an Outer God? Besides a Missionary that worships Yogg, why is there Big Eyeball?

“Sorry, I’m in a state of temporary madness. If you get hurt, you’d better leave me or I’ll attack you if the Willpower check fails.”

Who knew that just by Inspection, one could fall into a madness state? Whose AI was it with this TRPG’s KP? Was he so determined to make Yuyi and the others fail?

“Don’t worry. I know. Cannibalism is better than pica. This map is full of dirt.” Huahua smiled, looked up at the tall clock tower, and said, “Then do we still go inside this clock tower?”

“…Go in and see what’s going on inside.”

What bad luck! Looking at his own sanity value and negative effects, Yu Yi sighed. No one in this group chose psychotherapy, but only some mental (physical) (rational) intervention.
