Just as Qin Fei was communicating with the child, a roar suddenly came from behind him.

Listen to the voice, it must have come from the old man who had gone crazy.

Qin Fei found that the expression of the old man who was sitting on the ground suddenly became extremely exaggerated, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

The old man pointed at Qin Fei and Xie Nana, and then glanced at the woman holding the child, and then continued to howl loudly.

After seeing the old man's movements, Qin Fei understood.

It seemed that this old man was afraid of Qin Fei and the others.

It didn't take long for the old man's expression to become more and more frightened, and he shrank directly into the corner of the cell out of fear.

This old man gave Qin Fei the feeling that it was as if a person's mental state had collapsed directly after being frightened to a certain extent.

This phenomenon is often seen in haunted houses, roller coasters and other entertainment projects.

Generally speaking, after the collapse of ordinary people's mentality, as long as they rest for a while, they will soon recover.

But the collapse of this old man is clearly not an ordinary situation.

He stayed in the corner and howled for a while, when suddenly he let out a 'vomit' sound, like the sound of a human vomiting.

Immediately afterwards, his entire face began to elongate rapidly, the hair on his head gradually turned red, and his body began to turn brownish-red....

This old man is turning into a face monster.

Seeing this scene, Qin Fei's right arm instantly turned into a huge black blade, and he rushed forward and slashed at the old man who had turned into a face monster.

'Poof'.

After Qin Fei turned on the blade form, even if it was as strong as the Eye of Cthulhu, he could slash it with a single sword.

Killing this face monster is naturally not a problem.

In less than a few seconds, the old man, who had turned into a face monster, was directly split from the middle by Qin Fei with a knife and fell to the ground.

Looking at the face monster who was split in half by himself, Qin Fei also had an extra guess in his heart.

He suspects that the reason why these people see others as 'monsters', or even directly mutate, may have something to do with their psychological endurance.

It's easy to see that.

Qin Fei and Xie Nanai are strong.

Naturally, when the two of them face some unknown things, or some kind of terrifying existence, the fear in their hearts will not be too strong.

Because most of the monsters except BOOS can't pose a threat to the two of them.

In addition, except for Qin Fei and the others, the one with relatively strong psychological tolerance should be the child in the woman's arms.

The boy looked to be only about four or five years old.

Four or five years old is the age of ignorance.

At this age, children are likely to not even have the most basic concept of right and wrong.

When these children see something bad, they just cry twice at most, but they don't feel much in their hearts....

Children are ignorant, but the ignorant are fearless.

Therefore, even if the child sees something 'unclean', even if he encounters some ghosts, he will not feel too frightened in his heart.

This is probably the reason why the child has remained normal.

Mature adults, on the other hand, are the most likely to have problems.

For example, the old man who is dead.

When they see something terrible, or when they are faced with some great danger, their hearts can easily collapse.

Once they have a nervous breakdown, these people will trigger some kind of unknown curse, which will cause them to 'see' and even directly turn into those terrifying monsters.

As for what this curse was and where it came from, Qin Fei didn't know.

This setting is actually very similar to the worldview in "Don't Starve".

In a 'Don't Starve' world, once a character feels uncomfortable, or is frightened or distressed, their SAN value will continue to decrease.

And as the SAN value continues to drop, it is as if these people have triggered some kind of curse.... In the future, they will be constantly attacked by shadow creatures.

Of course, all this was just Qin Fei's speculation.

To confirm this suspicion, more people must be found to confirm it.

After Qin Fei told Xie Nanai about his guess, he said, "Let's go and check if the other children in the prison are affected." ”

"Okay." After Xie Nana answered, he turned into a cloud of black mist and floated out of the wall of this cell.

Seeing that Xie Nana had already walked away, Qin Fei also turned on his shadow form and floated out in the opposite direction to her.

Not long after the two left.

The woman in the cell was leaning against the corner with her child in her arms.

She was staring at the corpse on the ground that had been cut in half by Qin Fei in a daze, her eyes were bloodshot.

The woman's mouth was still muttering, and it sounded incoherent.

It seemed that the old man's death had provoked her.

This woman must have gone crazy too.

As she collapsed, as if some kind of curse had been triggered by it, the woman's hair began to turn red like blood....

The conditions in the dungeon are extremely difficult, and it is difficult for children as young as four or five years old to survive.

After Qin Fei turned into a black mist, he carefully searched around most of the dungeon, but he didn't find any young children.

In desperation, Qin Fei had no choice but to float to the entrance of the cell and meet Xie Nanai after he finished the examination.

It didn't take long for another black mist to float out of the dungeon and gradually turn into the appearance of Xie Nana.

As soon as he saw Qin Fei, Xie Nanai said, "I just found one in the prison and talked to him a few words, and that child was not affected. ”

After hearing Xie Nanai's words, Qin Fei completely affirmed his conjecture.

In this way, the conditions for cursing and mutating into monsters may really be related to people's 'SAN value'.

As for the reason for the appearance of this curse, Qin Fei guessed that it might be related to the awakening of Cthulhu and the advent of the Blood Moon....

[Cthulhu is waking up]

[Blood Moon is coming, number of days remaining: 11 days]

[New Mission: Survive the Blood Moon.] 】

In order to find out the source of all this and get more information before the Blood Moon fell, Qin Fei had to collect more information.

In fact, there are many places where you can gather information.

Theoretically, as long as there are people, you can find useful information.

But the problem is that Qin Fei and Xie Nanai have been regarded as 'monsters' by those ordinary people.

No one wants to talk to a 'monster'.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Fei said to Xie Nanai: "Let's go, let's go to the castle...."

With that, he pointed to the castle in front of him.

In fact, if you want to get a lot of information in a short period of time, it is the most efficient way to go directly to the ruler of the human kingdom.

And the king lived in this castle.

After Qin Fei and Xie Nanai turned into a black shadow, they floated towards the top of the castle.

……

Inside the castle, a young man leaned against the window, flipping through a book in his hand.

At the same time, two clouds of black mist gradually drifted in from the window.

After these two black fogs drifted into the window, they began to gradually converge together.... A few seconds later, Qin Fei and Xie Nanai appeared in the room.

"Huh? Didn't you say that kings generally live at the top? After glancing at the room a few times, Xie Nana pointed to the young man by the window and asked, "Wouldn't he be the king?" ”

And at this moment, Qin Fei turned a deaf ear to Xie Nanai's words.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a shocking scene:

Even though 'Terraria' was a pixel-art game, Qin Fei recognized it at a glance.

This young male is none other than the NPC in the 'Terraria' game, the Guide!

It's no surprise to meet a guide in the world of 'Terraria'.

But the question is, how did this guy end up in the palace?

Moreover, this guy who looks like a guide, the clothes he wears are unusually gorgeous, and he looks.... It's like a nobleman in the royal family.

So, the guide is a royalty among the humans?
