Chapter 17: The Organ Room

Nightcompanion doesn't know all of Shadow Hunter's abilities, but there is some mention of Curse of Fatigue' in Sequence 2.

The Fatigue Curse slows down movements, creating a mental effect of 'exhaustion' when moving.

But that doesn't mean you can't move.

To put it bluntly, it's like just running a marathon, and it feels like you have a 5-minute break to get up and continue running.

Wu Xijin, of course, continued to run.

Behind him, Snake was not really knocked down by the current, and it only took 2-3 seconds to recover from the paralysis, he first waved his hand to knock off a 'popsicle' inserted in his thigh, and then followed the pace of the old group of Wu Xi and Jin.

However, at the moment when Snake passed through the metal curtain, another powerful electric current poured down wildly along the metal curtain.

Zizi~

"Grass!"

cough cough cough ...... tui。

Snake's reaction was not unpleasant, and he had already withdrawn and returned at the moment of the electrocution, but he was still electrocuted. Coughing up a mouthful of blood and fighting through the pain, Snake finally saw a stick figure drawn with a pencil in the corner of the wall next to the door.

In the painting, several thin lines outline the shape of the door curtain, and a thick arrow is exactly the same as the direction in which the door curtain was opened before Wu Xijin.

What is this ability?

I didn't have time to think about it before I was disturbed by Wu Xijin's provocation, and after being electrocuted twice in a row, no matter how stupid Snake was, he knew that he was being calculated...... The room seemed to have been set up in some way, beyond his own supernatural knowledge...... However, these arrangements should also follow some kind of rules, which is disgusting, but not strong enough to kill yourself directly.

They are not as capable of fighting head-on as I am!

Snake quickly summed up.

With this judgment in mind, Snake adjusted his thinking and decided to change his plan slightly, and only carry out the second goal today: to kill people.

A visible red light lit up all over Snake's body at the moment.

His blood was boiling and burning.

The burning blood made Snake's already bloodless face even pale, like a corpse in a morgue. But his physical attributes have been significantly strengthened at this moment, and the feeling of weakness caused by being electrocuted twice in a row has disappeared, and the whole person has even become more energetic.

Seeing that Wu was still struggling to move, Snake looked cold, and carefully opened the door curtain in the direction indicated by the wall painting.

Safe!

Without saying anything superfluous, a shadow under Snake's feet sprang forward, moving closer to Wu Xijin. He himself stepped past the curtain and into the largest main hall on the second floor.

The shadow moved very fast, instantly crossing a distance of several meters and burrowing into Wu Xijin's feet.

Almost at the same time, Wu Xijin's right thumb and middle finger rubbed rapidly, making a crisp snap of his fingers.

Syllable.

The door behind Snake was closed, and the floor of the room was filled with dazzling brilliance, turning into red and blue squares, and Snake's shadow disappeared directly from the sudden light.

"Dark ....... ”

Wu Xijin opened his mouth again and wanted to bring up the old things again. However, this time he had just said a word, and he found that his tongue was suddenly unfavorable, and the word 'number' behind him couldn't be said no matter how hard he tried.

He's cursed again, it's a 'verbal curse'!

"Hmph, code. ”

Snake looked at Wu Xijin's bewildered look, sneered, and said the key words in a moment...... Wu Xijin temporarily lost his normal language ability, and now in this situation, even if he tries hard to call his father, he will inevitably fail, so as to taste the taste of being baptized by strong electricity.

This is the entertainment that Snake found for himself in order to save face.

But things didn't go the way Snake had hoped.

After hearing the word 'code', Wu Xijin's expression quickly changed from anxiety to joy.

Snake didn't know what Wu Xijin was happy about, but 2 seconds later, the familiar current suddenly appeared again, and he shook Snake in the face straight - this is the punishment that Snake received for refusing to answer the code, without the slightest defense.

Zizi.

"Grass!"

cough cough cough ......

Snake suffered a loss that did not understand the rules.

In order to trigger the code penalty, you must have seen or heard the content of the code stated by the 'Master of Secret Words' beforehand.

This code was thought up by Wu Xijin, yes, but he didn't really go to the door frame to take a look, so naturally the game would not be triggered. As for Snake himself, because he already understands the content of the code, he must answer the second half of the sentence in a short time after hearing the first half of the code, which has little to do with who said the first half of the sentence.

So Snake succeeded in exporting himself.

This was not only a physical trauma, but also a big impact on Snake's mind.

In the boiling state, Snake's resistance increased significantly, and he quickly recovered from the paralysis.

Even if he was not lightly injured, it would still be easy to kill Wu Xijin head-on.

The time of the fatigue curse had not yet passed, and Snake thought that Wu Xijin should have little action, but in the only 2-3 seconds that he was electrocuted, Wu Xijin actually jumped on one foot and jumped out far away with cheerful steps.

On Wu Xijin's shoulder, a golden toad was puffing out its mouth and chewing two lumps of black substance.

This golden toad is a quest companion summoned by the Night Companion's Heart, capable of devouring curses, and has a certain amount of defense and the ability to conceal itself, and is specifically designed to target the 'Shadow Hunters'.

Seeing that Wu Xijin was about to leave, Snake condensed a shadow arrow in his hand and threw it directly at Wu Xijin.

Wu Xijin was not distracted, and continued to jump his square alternately with his left and right feet. The golden toad instantly popped out its tongue, and skillfully rolled the shadow arrow into its mouth like a predator, and chewed it again.

The premise of becoming a 'shadow hunter' is to become a 'necromancer' first, and most 'necromancers' will develop psychological problems to some extent under the influence of dark erosion, and Snake is no exception.

has been continuously teased by Wu Xijin, the five scum of the war, and Snake's murderous intent has been difficult to suppress, and he wants to kill Wu Xijin as soon as possible.

Of course.

After a few losses, Snake's wariness of the room increased again.

Seeing that Wu was only stepping on the blue grid in the past, Snake naturally followed the same example, and also stepped on the blue grid and jumped up.

Two steps in one step, left foot right foot, left foot right foot, left ......

Rumble!

A blast of cold air slammed into the sky at Snake's feet, knocking him over on the ceiling, smashing it down and falling on a red grid, and then falling into another grid by a powerful heat wave......

Blowing hot and cold.

After several baptisms of ice and fire in a row, Snake finally did not trigger the punishment again, and calm returned to the trap room.

Rising from the ground with a messy breath, Snake resisted the urge to tear apart the past and the present, and finally saw a row of stick figures arranged in the corner of the wall behind him, in the order: left, right, left, left, left......

Only then did Snake realize that it wasn't just about stepping on the blue grid, this disgusting thing was also very good on the left and right feet!
