With a thought, Su Yuan flashed a light and instantly a heavy hammer appeared in his hand, the hammerhead still emanating a lingering smell of blood.

The most amazing thing is that just by holding it, Su Yuan felt a violent emotion surge up his arm and into his brain, wanting to find something to smash to pieces.

The Bloodstained Skull Crusher

[Type: Special Weapon/Heavy Blunt Weapon]

[Attack Method: Melee]

[Damage: Extremely High]

[Effect: Berserk Skull (Ignores 30% of the opponent's defense when smashing, and 50% when the target is the head. However, with each use, your mind will be corrupted, and you may hear the whispers of an evil god, causing you to fall into a brief state of madness. This state can only be cleared after the madness ends.)]

[Hidden Note: Madness (Your strength and speed will be greatly increased, and your pain perception will be greatly reduced, but your sanity will be affected, causing you to fall into a state of madness. The duration and effect depend on your constitution and your anger towards the enemy. This state is most intense when it is activated, and its effects will weaken over time.)]

"Goodness, it's a double-edged sword."

After reading the introduction, Su Yuan thought to himself that his intuition was indeed correct.

The "Ignore Defense" attribute is very powerful, especially when it hits the head, ignoring half of the defense. It's practically a weapon made for headshots.

But these side effects are just too terrible.

Driven to madness, reason is compromised.

Su Yuan didn't want to become a madman who could only scream and yell in battle; a calm mind was sometimes more important than sheer strength.

"Using it in combat is too risky; one wrong move and you could get yourself killed."

He weighed the hammer in his hand and made up his mind.

"However... this thing is quite good at destroying houses."

Su Yuan grinned, already having a picture in his mind.

He took the big sledgehammer and started smashing it randomly at an abandoned building. Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he roared as he razed the entire building to the ground.

Just imagining that scene is exciting.

"Who would have thought that I could transform while I was demolishing houses? Would this be considered a rampage demolition story?"

He happily put the skull-crushing hammer into his storage bag.

This thing will be my personal demolition tool from now on. I'll leave it for fighting, unless I'm really desperate and need to fight to the death.

Then, he took out the second item.

It was a scroll made of tanned hide from an unknown animal, with strange runes and diagrams of human anatomy drawn on it in a dark red liquid.

[Forbidden Suturing Techniques - Scroll]

[Type: Special Consumable]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: After use, it can perfectly sew together different biological limbs, creating entirely new stitched creations.]

[Hidden Note: This is an evil art from the abyss. The user will inevitably be tainted by madness and chaos. Use with caution, for what you create may not be what you want.]

"Suturing..."

When Su Yuan looked at the reel, the first thing that came to mind was Old Mike's face. To be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable having to play this game of piecing together corpses.

However, one should not judge things by appearances alone.

Su Yuan stroked his chin and quickly figured out the correct way to use this thing.

In his view, the most practical use of this scroll is not in creating any Frankenstein's monsters, but in battlefield medicament!

In this world where medical resources are scarce, this thing is practically a top-of-the-line surgical kit, capable of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bones.

"Good stuff, must keep it safe."

Su Yuan put the scroll into the storage bag with satisfaction.

Finally, his gaze fell on the rusty key that had fallen from Old Mike's body.

This key has an antique design, with some incomprehensible patterns engraved on it. It feels cold to the touch and has a faint smell of blood.

[Quest Item: Basement Key]

[Type: Special]

[Effect: Opens the hidden door leading from the farmhouse study to the basement.]

[Hidden Note: This key retains a trace of an evil god's aura; when you hold it, you seem to hear whispers from the abyss.]

"It really is this thing."

Su Yuan gripped the key, his expression turning serious.

Intelligence report four explicitly states that there is something in the basement, and it is very dangerous.

The diary also states that when Old Mike's wife, Janice, was dug out, her body looked as if she were asleep, with no signs of decomposition.

It now seems that his wife, Janice, is probably the most terrifying presence on the farm.

The aura of evil spirits she possessed was far stronger than that of old Mike.

"Whispers can bewitch people..."

Su Yuan recalled the description in the intelligence report, and a sense of apprehension crept into his heart.

He's not afraid of physical enemies now, but this kind of thing that can directly attack the mind and soul is a bit tricky.

"It seems we can't just venture into this basement rashly."

Su Yuan made up her mind.

Although the first kill reward was tempting, he wasn't an impulsive gambler.

He wouldn't risk his life without absolute certainty.

"Got it."

Having made up his mind, Su Yuan hung the storage bag on his waist, turned around, and walked towards the train.

Su Yuan leaped several times and quickly returned to the train door.

The small fire inside the car sensed his approach and automatically slid the door open.

As Su Yuan stepped into the car, a familiar warmth mixed with the unique smell of burning heavy seaweed wafted over him, which relaxed his tense nerves a little.

[Master! You're back! That's wonderful! Are you alright?]

Below the control panel, Xiao Huo's flame core suddenly shot up high with a "whoosh," its voice filled with relief and excitement at surviving the ordeal.

While Su Yuangang was wreaking havoc outside, it was terrified inside the car.

When the forecaster detected that the danger level of the instance had soared from two stars to two and a half stars, Xiao Huo's entire system was on the verge of crashing.

Even though it's only a half-star increase, the level of danger is almost doubled.

Not long after, a series of system announcements suddenly came over the train's loudspeaker, completely catching it off guard.

If I didn't lack a chin, it would have hit the ground.

[Congratulations to player "Su Yuan" for becoming the first player to solo defeat the two-star elite monster "The Madman's Stitches"!]

Congratulations to player "Su Yuan"...

Seeing that Xiao Huo was about to start babbling again, Su Yuan changed the subject, took out the rusty key from his storage bag, and threw it onto the dashboard.

"Stop talking nonsense, help me take a look at this, any clues?"

However, the moment the key touched the control panel, the core of the small flame seemed to have been doused with cold water, shrinking abruptly and instantly dimming from its original vibrant white-gold color to orange-red.

The temperature in the entire cab dropped several degrees.

[Master...Master! Quick! Take this thing away!]

Xiao Huo's voice was filled with unprecedented terror, even bordering on sobbing.

[This...this has...it has the scent of that thing! How terrifying! How disgusting! I feel like my very core is being contaminated!]

Su Yuan frowned when he saw that Xiao Huo's cowardly appearance didn't seem to be an act.

"This thing seems very dangerous; it's probably far more dangerous than a Frankenstein's monster!"

However, after calming down, Little Fire changed the subject and immediately said, "Master, do you want to continue fighting the other terrifying guy hidden in the dungeon? I just remembered something that might have a way."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan immediately understood and exchanged a smile with it, knowing that this was exactly what he was thinking.

He hadn't really expected anything from Xiao Huo on his trip back; he just wanted to see how the other party would react. After putting the key away again, he quickly moved the special box onto the table.

He then took out three train tickets from his pocket.
