"Actually, that's what it is," Kolotia said, reaching into her neckline and pulling out a silver-gray card between her fingers: "In principle, it's similar to those necklaces, but it's also embedded in the autoanalysis system, so it can be directly applied to the body beyond the limit of health, which means that if it explodes, it will be killed in one fell swoop." ”

The gaze around seemed a little strange. Most of them, to be exact, stared at Kolotia's chest.

"I can't help it, because time was very tight, and I didn't figure out how to perpetuate a directional fireball technique, so I just made do with it." Kolotia turned her head away from the gaze of others and said, "Anyway, the effect of this thing is very simple, it explodes when the condition is activated. No, Lisa, remember that business card I gave you the other day, right? Give it to me. ”

"Ah...... Good. ”

Lisa came back to her senses, then nodded, and pulled out the business card that Kolotia had given her.

It is said that if she was in a bad mood and approached Kolotia with this business card, the other card in Kolotia's hand would be red and hot, like some kind of "early warning mechanism for dangerous people", Lisa lost her temper at first, but finally chose to keep it by her side.

"Well, it's a gift." - That's probably what Lisa thought at the time, completely unaware of how dangerous it was. Or rather, this thing turned out to be the guarantee of her life.

Collotia used a spell to launch the silver-gray card in her hand into the open space outside the courtyard, and then took the business card she had given from Lisa's hand.

"It's amazing. Lisa's health status is detected every five seconds, and if a qiē is normal, a 'normal' signal is emitted. So guess what happens if this signal fails? It's like this—" Kolotia said, narrowing her eyes, then clenching her little hand tightly to emanate a blue glow.

The business card turned into a blue dot of light and then dissipated into the air.

"There's no signal coming out now, and look—"

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds, six seconds...... Eleven seconds later, with a violent explosion, the flames rushed up two or three meters high, and a large amount of sand and gravel was blown up—a small pit was directly blown out of the place where the silver-white card was located.

The shock wave even sent shivers to the people in the courtyard - of course, it could have been due to the chill in the heart.

"Two consecutive failures to receive a signal will explode, and that's such a mechanism."

Kolotia explained lightly.

Everyone gasped.

The card has been clipped to Kolotia's chest for the past few days.

In other words, something that could blow up a crater even in the ground, if it really exploded in her chest like this, Kolotia would probably be blown apart immediately, and as far as the sand and stones could splash just now, Kolotia's plasma could fly as far as that-

Lisa's face turned pale.

"You, what's ...... How dare you ......? ”

"There's nothing you don't dare," Kolotia said nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders, "To be honest, the moment I was blown up passed very quickly, and I died before I could come to my senses." Then, using the mechanism of memory rollback, I went back to the point in time when I gave away the business card. ”

"You must all be curious as to why I can grasp things so accurately, right?"

Kolotia asked with a smile.

Almost all of them turned their heads away in unison.

It's not really death, but it's not a pleasant experience. It's absolutely unpleasant to see yourself blown apart and blood splattered in your soul state, not to mention the complete loss of connection with the world after that, and fall into the darkness of no perception - no one who has experienced "death" will forget that feeling, and in that darkness, it really makes people feel like "I can't go back".

"The answer is that I have been through more than 40 times in the past few days, and I have asked for help from various people and tried to make various plans. In your opinion, less than a week is almost half a year for me. For the sake of me working so hard, it's not too much for me to win once, right? ”

There was a slight choked voice in Kolotia's voice, but just when everyone thought she was going to cry, Kolotia fainted.

Feelings fluctuate too much so you can't hold it up mentally?

Not really. Even if she wanted to cry, it was unlikely that with Kolotia's personality, she would cry in front of so many people.

In fact, Colotia's expression is not so much "to cry" as "to endure some kind of pain"—the "threat of death" for Colotia has been lifted after the burning of the "cause" of the qiē, that is, the business card.

That is, it is time for "reckoning".

"Kolotia, Human Priest, Level 30"

#

In short, after this battle, in addition to "Hypnotic Witch", Kolotia's other nickname among players, "Self-Destructing Maniac", is also settled.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Colonia, who has died more than forty times, is also the first player to experience the effect of the "Death Punishment" stacked under the new mechanic with her own experience.

Kolotia's coma lasted almost two days. Dropping to level 30 and losing a lot of experience is still a small problem, and the consequences of "memory stripping" caused by more than 40 deaths have become a concern for the entire player society.

When Kolotia woke up again, she looked at the large circle of people around her in a daze, bit her fingers, and asked, "Huh...... You, who are you? Almost everyone gasped.

Then Kolotia stuck out her tongue: "Hey, liar. ”

According to Kolotia herself, it seems that "I feel that my memory is fine, and I don't feel that I have forgotten anything." Even elementary school students can remember a lot, and the molecular formula of dihydrogen oxide can be written well-"

"Oh oh - awesome, I almost forgot about chemistry after I graduated from high school."

Then the surrounding crowd let out such an exclamation that it was not until finally that someone finally reacted:

"Wait, dihydrogen monoxide...... That's water, right? ”

"Ah, what the gentleman said is very true. I'm talking about water. ”

……

As a result, in the end, people can only come to the conclusion that "things that are forgotten should not be important" and "people who forget things do not know what they have forgotten", and that "there may be some subtle changes in personality" that have yet to be further confirmed.
