Chapter 420: Fear Check
"Fuyun, you are known as a shadow thief, I won't tell you more about stealth skills, but one thing, today we are going to investigate the situation, try not to do it if you can, so as not to startle the snake." He instructed as he walked.
In addition to Colin and Lucquitia, the Gramburn family had more than 100 servants, and none of the villagers could see their attributes, but he guessed that these were unlikely to be ordinary people, and only the two of them were difficult to deal with.
"Long-winded!" Fuyun replied with disgust.
More than an hour later, when the night covered the entire island through layers of mist, Sherlock and Fuyun, who had been hiding outside the mansion, entered a stealth state one after another.
Both of them have gained the power of shadows, and the stealth effect seems to be equally equal, and if it weren't for the fact that both of them were visible in the team, it would be a bit difficult to find their teammates around them.
The breakthrough they chose was the courtyard at the back of the mansion, no more lax than the front yard and the gate, where the guards were much looser, and some of the servants' children were still running around playing games.
When Sherlock first saw it, he thought it was playing hide and seek, stone people, etc., but after a little attention, he found that their rules were very strange, and the rewards and punishments were also very strange, and he vaguely heard maintenance, lubrication, and the like.
Then, within a few steps, he saw a child not far away who suddenly fell while running, throwing his entire calf out.
This terrible scene did not cause the children to scream and panic, but they all laughed one by one, and one of the children even mischievously threw the broken leg like a shoe, which happened to land next to Sherlock and the two of them.
"Hahaha, look at this fool Duff, he broke his legs."
"We'll see how soon he can pick it up this time."
In a burst of laughter, the little boy with the broken leg staggered over on one foot, crouched down in front of their eyes, picked it up, and then put it back on himself.
"My mother said she would put it on for me right away if she had the right leg." The boy shouted angrily, and returned to the group, not finding the two figures at hand.
System Judgment: You are affected by the Atmosphere of Fear, and the Trembling Judgment is passed, and it is not affected.
Seeing this group of children who don't know whether they should be human or not, Sherlock has also been subjected to a systematic inspection.
The atmosphere of fear is similar to the cold, heat and other environmental judgments, which are all affected by players in some special environments.
Unlike those actual injuries, the fear atmosphere will be more about checking the player's psychological and mental state, and the game helmet or health pod originally had the function of detecting the relevant state for the safety of the user's life, and now it is not much of a problem to use it in determining the effect.
Those who are bold or have strong mental willpower are naturally not susceptible to it, and relatively weak judgments are easy to fail.
After failure, a layer of trembling will be superimposed.,All attacks,Resistance,Verification will be weakened.,This DEBUFF is still quite scary after stacking.,When you reach two layers, it will become a state of fear.,Three layers are panic.,Generally, players who reach three layers will completely lose control of their bodies.。
Sherlock is not very bold, but sometimes he sees more and gets used to it, and in the past few months, he has encountered many undead creatures, and a few zombie-like creatures with severed hands and feet can't scare him.
His eyes gestured to the floating clouds behind him, and the two continued to walk towards the house inside.
The first room they infiltrated seemed to be a kitchen, and the reason why it seemed to be because this room was fully equipped with kitchenware, but no ingredients were stored.
The whole family, from top to bottom, hundreds of people, do they all need to eat?
Walking out of the kitchen, bypassing the servants who were patrolling around, they came to the living room.
There is only one spiral staircase up to the second floor, which is divided into two in the middle and leads to each side, and on the middle wall hangs this fresco, on which is a kind old man, staring ahead as if he were looking at all outsiders.
The two of them chose one side and one left and one right, and walked up.
The layout on both sides is much the same, they are all lined up one room after another, because they are afraid that the sound of the door opening will alarm the people in the room, so they will only try to go in and check on the unlocked door when they see it.
There weren't many of them, and they were almost at the end of the room before they saw one, and almost all at the same time.
Sherlock shrunk back and entered, it was clearly a lady's room, as you could guess by the dresser full of things and several large wardrobes.
But before he could take a closer look, a footstep slowly approached, and he glanced around and could only hide in a closet opposite the dresser.
As soon as he hid in, he regretted it a little, what kind of wardrobe is this, the headless female corpse that is neatly hung in it is still the corpse of a girl from the fair skin and not many wrinkles.
Even Sherlock, who was used to seeing disgusting scenes, almost couldn't help but throw up.
There are a total of six wardrobes in this room, and they won't all be full of this kind of female corpses, such a small village, so many female corpses can't die normally at the same time, and it is already obvious what this family is doing.
Through the crack in the closet door, Sherlock saw a richly decorated woman sitting elegantly in front of a mirror dressed up in a pair of high-tops.
All kinds of powders, all kinds of oils, all kinds of water, the cosmetics of the magic world are not much less than the real world, and even because of the abundance of resources, they also have many things with magical effects.
After wiping her face, the woman combed her hair, but she was still not satisfied after a long time, and finally she took her head off her neck as if she was angry, put it on the dresser and began to take care of it.
The eyes, staring straight ahead, cut through the middle air, and met Sherlock's eyes.
System Judgment: You are affected by the Atmosphere of Fear, and the Trembling Judgment is passed, and it is not affected.
System Judgment: You are affected by the Panic Technique, and your Perception Judgment is passed, and you fall into a trembling state.
Seeing the judgment of the panic technique, Sherlock knew that the other party had discovered his existence, and the disgusting thing about this spell was that even if you passed the judgment, you would still be subject to a layer of trembling, and if you failed, there were two layers.
Only creatures with a high enough Constitution stat are completely immune to this spell effect, and he is clearly not one of them.
Fortunately, it's just a layer of trembling, and it's not troublesome to remove.
Concentrate!
As soon as the dragon power shook his body, Sherlock instantly got rid of his abnormal state, and then his body disappeared into the shadows with a burst of void.
