Chapter 114: Squatting and Sneaking

"Ah, mission accomplished?"

Lindsay's first reaction was that there was no such task on his taskbar.

In addition to the [Voice of the Heart], which is a task to participate in a concert and activate the music game module.

He doesn't have any mission related to horror games!

But Lindsay was quick to react.

Just like when you have awakened your skills, but you haven't obtained them before you have earned your [Quest Bar] skills.

Horror Game Module Awakening.

The skill itself comes from the [Gamer] skill, which is the ability obtained because Lindsay's experience matches the corresponding game environment!

"Escape the pursuit of terror plants in a complex tunnel......"

"Is that what it means?"

The sudden unlocking of the module caught Lindsay off guard.

He couldn't help but laugh, and immediately opened the stats panel to see the first skill that the new module had given him.

[Squatting and Sneaking: As long as the player squats half-way, they will automatically enter the stealth state.]

Stealth: Sneaking without being detected by the enemy will give you the following effects.

- Blending in with the crowd can reduce the sense of presence.

- When you are not directly looked at or make a sound, your sense of presence is greatly reduced.

- When the player is in the dark or in cover, their presence is greatly reduced.

- Movement speed slowed while sneaking.

Note: Ghosts, Alien Monsters, Mechanical Murderers...... In short, you squat down first and don't make a sound. 】

“……”

"Is it really a must-have skill for horror games?"

Lindsay chuckled softly and turned her head to look at Kaji beside her.

They now ran to a common room-type hall, surrounded by decorative columns that provided him with shelter.

Plus, Kaji is a perceiver with excellent reconnaissance skills.

No doubt.

Put this stealth skill to the test now!

"Kaji, you turn around, close your eyes, and open them again after a few ten seconds."

Kaji asked suspiciously:

"What are you going to do, Lord Diablo?"

Lindsey replied:

"Experiment with one thing, rest assured, it's not dangerous."

By this time, the two had escaped Yuramansol's pursuit.

Although the perceiver was full of doubts, he still honestly closed his eyes and silently recited the number in his heart:

“10、9、8…… 3、2、1。 ”

At the end of the countdown, Kaji opened his eyes.

"Lord Diablo, I'm done...... Yes? ”

The Perceiver discovers that Lindsey is missing.

"People? What about people? ”

Kaji spun around in place.

The view swept the entire lounge around, but Lindsay could not be seen.

"Are you kidding...... Leave me here? ”

Kaji was incredulous.

He began to activate his perceptual skills, using his keen sense of hearing and touch to probe his surroundings.

But the result is-

The perceiver stood for more than ten seconds, but still couldn't find any trace of Lindsay.

Kaji didn't go and inspect every nook and cranny in detail.

Because he is confident enough in his craft, as long as Lindsey is in this hall, and even further.

He can definitely detect the other party's movements!

"This ......"

Kaji swallowed.

He couldn't find Lindsay at all, and subconsciously thought that he might have been thrown here by the other party.

Alone in this dangerous secret realm of unknown origin.

The perceiver's heart began to beat wildly, as if it was about to burst out of his throat in the next second.

He is weak in combat, but he is not sure......

"Alright, confirm the end!"

Just then, Lindsay's voice came from behind Kaji.

He instantly appeared in Kaji's perception, causing the perceiver to shudder.

Kaji turned around and found Lindsay coming out from behind a nearby pillar.

"You...... I ......," Kaji could barely speak, and finally could only mutter, "how is this possible?" ”

"I just experimented with something, no fuss."

Lindsay clapped her hands and led her to the bottom of the garden.

The perceptual's reaction proves the effectiveness of the stealth skill.

As long as you hide, even the perceiver will not be able to detect your presence.

At least......

Let's be conservative and estimate.

At least below the fifth stage, there is a high probability that there will be no awakened people who can find their traces.

Lindsay chose to end the topic, and Kaji naturally didn't dare to ask more.

After a while, he spoke again:

"Lord Diablo, what are we going to do now?"

Lindsay pointed to the top of her head:

"Juramansol, the same plant that attacked us, is now barricaded in the middle of the garden, almost completely blocking the passage."

"If we want to get through, we have to find its roots and destroy this thing from the core."

Kaji was a little puzzled:

"Then why are we going down?"

"Do you remember the reservoir you passed by at the beginning?" Lindsay expressed her opinion, "The garden itself will certainly not consume the water stored in the reservoir, and there will be no other creatures here that drink a lot of water. ”

"From this point of view, it should be Yuramansol, who has absorbed all the reserve water."

Only then did Kaji understand:

"We're going to that reservoir!"

Lindsey nodded first, then shook her head:

"It doesn't have to be a reservoir, as long as you have access to a waterway."

The rhizomes of the plant absorb water.

And it's also clear on the [Hunting Notes].

Yuramansol's body cannot move, but it can control its vine branches and leaves.

Case.

The roots of the other party that absorb water must be at the junction of the waterway!

If you find this location, you will be able to find the rhizome of the other party.

You can also search for the core of the other party!

If you want to enter the waterway, the pipe in an ordinary room will definitely not be able to get into a person.

Fortunately, when Lindsay made a detour to explore the way before, the map skill had already touched the surrounding environment.

With a clear goal, he led Kaji to a large hall.

There is a fountain that has been dry for a long time, and there is an entrance to the aqueduct system next to it.

But as soon as you enter this hall.

The perceiver next to him was the first to be shocked by the image in front of him.

"What did you do before this place?"

On the map, it's just a massive cavern with an entrance to the waterway.

But when you actually come here, you will find the glorious and magnificent scene here.

The facilities built here are extremely luxurious, and the spatial layout is well organized, with clear priorities.

The surrounding towering walls are divided into equal sixths.

On each side is a majestic man with a majestic face and wearing armor, and his violent and majestic temperament is fully revealed.

But at this moment, these magnificent reliefs have all been violently scratched by people with weapons.

“……”

Lindsey didn't say a word.

This is clearly a place for serious and grand occasions.

The garden was abandoned, and naturally it was abandoned.

But on the main podium in the center of the square, there is still something eye-catching.

Lindsay walked briskly forward.

There was a wooden plaque on the lectern, and next to it was a small badge in the shape of a seven-pointed star, from which the breath of essentia was emitted.
