Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The continuous knocking on the door in the hall on the first floor was so abrupt in this empty castle.
Chen Mo, who was thinking quietly on the second floor, couldn't help but feel excited and came back from his deep thoughts.
The reason why it was sudden was not because Chen Mo was deep in thought and unprepared.
But the frequency of knocking on the door is really too fast.
It was the knocking speed of dozens of times per second, just like the friction sound of someone using an electric drill to drill into the wall, instead of the normal knocking sound of "dong, dong, dong".
Although he was frightened, but with his previous experience and lessons, it was naturally impossible for him to stupidly ask who the other party was.
Moreover, the door on the first floor is the kind of door that can be opened and closed at will. There is no latch switch at all, so there is no need to knock on the door.
Chen Mo didn't intend to pay attention to it.
But the knocking on the door outside showed no intention of stopping.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The dense vibrations made Chen Mo upset.
After frowning slightly, he came to the window on the second floor, intending to take a look at the situation outside from a high position and take this opportunity to exercise his courage.
No matter who the other party is, just knocking on the door proves that he does not know what is going on inside.
In other words, he can't get in?
Chen Mo took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally.
At this moment, he was imagining many terrifying scenes in his heart, including monsters of various forms, and he thought he was completely mentally prepared.
But when he came to the second-floor window and looked down at the door of the first-floor hall, he was still stunned.
Nothing at all.
The empty twisted forest is filled with flowing black mist.
The door cracks and windows in the lobby on the first floor emitted weak light into the distance, which was also the only light source nearby.
With the help of these lights, Chen Mo was able to see the situation outside more clearly.
He could confirm that there was nothing in front of the gate.
"Has he already left?"
He frowned slightly, analyzing the most likely scenarios.
at this time!
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
A dense vibration sounded again from outside the door of the lobby on the first floor, but Chen Mo's eyes never left the door. He was sure there was nothing!
Where did this knock on the door come from?
Just a moment.
Chen Mo suddenly felt a chill on his back and broke into a cold sweat.
He thought about everything, including encountering various monsters, and even imagined it based on the huge oil paintings of the evil gods in the hall, but he never thought about this weird situation.
Feeling anxious and nervous, he looked at the huge empty room filled with weird colors in the castle, and felt a chill running down his back. It seemed like something invisible was watching him silently, and there would always be a dark shadow coming from him. Quietly flashed behind him.
When ordinary people face this kind of situation, they will definitely freeze in place and even stop breathing.
Chen Mo's breathing gradually became faster, and his eyes moved rapidly, thinking of a more rational way to deal with it, instead of "slowly committing suicide" here. After all, the creatures in this world have the power to absorb fear and strengthen themselves.
He thought of two ways to deal with it.
One is to turn a blind eye and ignore it.
The other is to directly use the Evil Sword and rush outside to chop at random.
Then he thought of the prompt on the optical brain.
"If you want to perfectly integrate the optical brain data chip, you need to continuously stimulate it with despair, fear, and weakness in a short period of time."
"call……"
After Chen Mo let out the tightness in his chest, he took a deep breath and tried his best to control his rationality and calm down his mood.
Then he walked down the stairs step by step.
The stairs are made of wood, and the soles of your feet will make a slight squeaking sound when you step on them.
This could almost be ignored in normal times, but at this time, Chen Mo's heart amplified the slight sound infinitely, fearing that it would disturb unknown things.
When he came to the lobby on the first floor again, his back seemed to be soaked through.
The huge oil paintings of evil gods on the walls of the hall all closed their eyes at this moment. This was obviously not a good sign. It seemed that the surrounding environment was constantly warning Chen Mo.
A strange cold feeling spread throughout his body instantly.
This feeling is like my own aura, which is incompatible with the environment here. There is something invisible and dirty peeking at me in the darkness. People are instinctively alert when facing danger.
At the same time, he noticed that the paint on the wall seemed to have peeled off a lot and looked very decayed.
This didn't seem to be the case before.
No.
Maybe I was too suspicious and magnified the details I had ignored before. This has happened before?
No!
This must be a strange situation that just happened.
This is the objective environment warning me that the current situation is very dangerous and far beyond my ability. I can no longer paralyze myself or comfort myself.
Otherwise, what is the difference between it and an ostrich with its head buried in the sand?
Get away from this door now, it's absolutely impossible to open it!
In just half a minute, Chen Mo's brain was like a machine running at a high speed. The inside became hot, and a drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down his forehead.
Now, he couldn't help but think of the stories his grandma told him when he was a child.
There are three fires on the human body, one on the top of the head and two on the shoulders. As long as the fire is still burning, those unclean things cannot get close to you and cannot hurt you. They can only scare you from a distance.
However, if you encounter a serious illness, are severely frightened, suddenly look back, etc., these three fires will weaken or even be extinguished.
Then unclean things will be attracted...
Do not know why.
At this moment, Chen Mo could not help but think of these folk tales.
Will the fire on my shoulders be extinguished because of frequent frights?
If you open the door to the hall now, will something incomprehensible suddenly come out like before, causing you to be frightened to the point of near mental breakdown?
The huge psychological pressure even made Chen Mo think about ending this competition and leaving this world.
All he needs to do is shout "Return" and he can get rid of everything here and go back to have a good rest.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The intensive knocking on the door in front of him made Chen Mo's heart beat faster. At this moment, there was only a wooden door between the two sides. He kept thinking of his grandma's words, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the prompts of the optical brain.
"You're kidding me!"
He suddenly shouted.
Under tremendous pressure, his courage defeated his fear, and the Omega clone kicked open the wooden door in front of him.
The door was still empty.
He did not encounter the fright he imagined.
squeak squeak squeak.
A sound similar to the rotation of a motor attracted Chen Mo's attention.
He looked shocked and walked out with a frown on his face. He unexpectedly saw a small metal hammer vibrating at a high frequency.
Was it causing trouble just now?
"I go……"
Chen Mo couldn't bear it any longer and breathed a sigh of relief.
In just a moment, he figured out that this must be a mechanism designed by the builder of this castle.
This boring, cunning, spiteful bastard!
I was actually frightened by such a crappy thing.
Just when Chen Mo let out the stuffy feeling in his chest, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, shook his head and laughed at himself, and was about to return to the castle.
He suddenly discovered that the castle had disappeared.
All that was left in front of him was the dark mist that was full of darkness, weirdness, and unreality, and the deeper twisted forest.
"Um?"
Chen Mo's eyes widened and he kept looking around.
The castle has indeed disappeared.
It was as if everything he had just experienced was just an illusion, his own imagination, and he was in a trance.
Fortunately, the 5 fragment points on his body told him that it was definitely not an illusion just now!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was an explosion not far away, and it seemed that it was only four or five hundred meters away. This was obviously a natural disaster being fighting. After Chen Mo thought briefly, he ran over resolutely.
At this time, although the natural disaster victims are equally dangerous, he prefers to be with the natural disaster victims.
Instead of being alone, explore and understand the unknown dangers here.
So he hurried towards the direction of the black mist where the explosion came from.
Just half a minute later.
When Chen Mo pushed aside the spider threads floating in front of him, he saw a scene that made his scalp numb.
At this time, he didn't bother to explore whether these spider silks were the sequelae of toxins in his body.
The three natural disaster victims were fleeing in large strides. The direction of their escape was towards them, and behind them were densely packed human-faced spiders, chasing the three of them.
The sheer number of these human-faced spiders made Chen Mo suffer from trypophobia.
Among these human-faced spiders, the largest ones are about the size of an adult, while the smallest ones are as big as the palm of a hand. They are densely packed everywhere as far as you can see. Occasionally, one will even suddenly jump out from the black mist beneath your feet.
The three of them ran away while releasing their skills backwards to attack the human-faced spider chasing behind them.
The three people are divided into one male and two female.
He didn’t know whether they knew each other in advance or formed a temporary team after coming in, but one of the female natural disaster victims was somewhat familiar to Chen Mo. She turned out to be a member of the Five Golden Flowers Team of the Yama Temple Club that he had met in the Beehive World. The white witch is the person who entered the life evolution device.
Chen Mo has a profound memory of the captain of this team, Bianhua.
The three people who fled were also startled when they saw Chen Mo in front of them.
The only male natural disaster victim instinctively shouted: "Who!"
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he regretted it.
It has been almost an hour since the competition started and we entered the world of shadow fragments. The predators who did not meet the psychological standards, relied on long-term experience and mixed points, have already chosen to leave.
Those who can stay here have stronger psychological qualities and more or less capable means.
He had already initially adapted to the environment here and knew that his inquiry had already violated a taboo.
But fortunately, Chen Mo's reaction made him sigh in relief.
Because Chen Mo turned around and ran away just like them!
Only this normal reaction can make people feel relieved. This must also be a natural disaster victim. Although encountering a natural disaster victim does not mean safety, it is still much better than the group of guys behind him.
He had even made up his mind just now.
If Chen Mo didn't move where he was, or if he behaved strangely, or if something strange happened, he would end the mission and leave here.
He's had enough of this damn doomsday reward competition!
