Even so, he was unable to find the "survivor" at the location of the next safe.
who I am? Where am I? What am I going to do?
Two minutes later, when the fifth safe was also lit up, Yin Kong couldn't help but stand in the center of the castle and look up at the sky.
Could I be the only person in this castle?
Otherwise, why is it that even now, Jack the Ripper, the terrifying demon who should be slaughtering people in the castle, hasn't even seen a single "survivor"?
Yin Kong, whose mentality was starting to crumble, didn't even plan to guard the gate anymore.
Given the current situation, it's entirely impossible for him to hold the gate.
Yin Kong made up his mind that he would dig three feet into the ground if necessary to find this "escapee" hidden within his perception range.
He succeeded. After an almost exhaustive search, he finally found Xiangling hiding in the bushes about ten minutes later.
To Yin Kong's astonishment, Xiangling, dressed in a new cheongsam, realized she had been exposed and stabbed him in the chest with a stick, slamming him against the wall.
Then, Yin Kong found himself "dizzy".
Clearly, although the theme of the instance is demons hunting down "survivors," the "survivors" are not entirely without means of fighting back.
In his "dizzy" state, Yin Kong was completely unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Xiang Ling climbed over a window and disappeared from his sight once again.
Fortunately, he shouldn't lose sight of his target this time.
Because the places where the "survivors" run will leave footprints that only the "demon" can see in a short period of time.
As long as Yin Kong catches up with these footprints, he will soon be able to catch up with Xiang Ling.
Then, Yin Kong realized a problem.
Although he received personal guidance from Lord Yan, it had only been a few days.
In this situation, it would be incredibly foolish to try and outmaneuver a proper disciple of a celestial being.
Not to mention, the green bamboo stick in Xiangling's hand seemed to have the effect of making him dizzy.
In fact, the speed of his attack was significantly faster than his claw strike.
Often, Yin Kong would only raise his claws before they were snapped in two by a single blow.
As for the Fog Blade, which is used for ranged attacks?
The speed was far too slow for them.
Unless it's face-to-face, let alone Xiangling, Yin Kong felt he could easily avoid it.
But obviously, if you try to get too close to the face, the bamboo stick will break the connection.
In the midst of this struggle, Xiangling successfully escaped to the newly appeared "cellar"—
When only one survivor remains on the field, a "cellar" will randomly appear on the map.
If you can jump into the "cellar," it's equivalent to escaping the castle through the main gate.
In the end, Yin Kong could only watch helplessly as Xiang Ling leaped into the cellar, bringing this long contest to a close.
[A crushing defeat].
Upon seeing this result, Yin Kong felt no anger whatsoever; instead, he felt a sense of relief.
He summarized his many mistakes in this game and finally concluded—
I knew I shouldn't have chosen characters from the gacha pool for this dungeon.
Even the seemingly most vulnerable Corelli has enough experience in adventure and combat to easily defeat him.
Playing hide-and-seek with them is simply humiliating.
Without saying a word, Yin Kong directly "invited" the mirror images of Wan Ye and the other three out of the group.
Then, he looked through the invitation list again and finally chose to invite the mirror images of Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Ran to re-enter the dungeon with him.
Chapter 160 Black and White Impermanence
Yin Kong directly gave up on "Jack".
Because he had discovered the two main abilities of this terrifying evil spirit:
Fog Blade, and the ability to hide oneself in fog that requires dealing enough damage to a Survivor to unlock, are practically useless to someone like Xiangling and Manyo.
Having been kited for almost the entire game, Yin Kong had basically grasped some of the tricks of the [Twilight Pavilion] dungeon.
Target acquisition and movement are almost the most crucial factors in this dungeon.
So he immediately chose the "terrifying evil spirit" called "Umbrella Soul".
Unlike the obviously obvious "Jack the Ripper," Yin Kong only realized upon closer inspection that this demon was actually modeled after "Black and White Impermanence."
Not only can it switch between two different forms, "black" and "white", it can also throw out the [Soul-Suppressing Umbrella] to teleport directly to the corresponding location and launch a surprise attack on the "escapees" in the distance.
After dealing enough damage to the "Survivors", you can further unlock the "Soul Stealing" ability.
When Yin Kong put the descriptions of "Jack" and "Soul of the Umbrella" together, he felt that this was probably another kind of primitive man and Trisolaran.
However, these things don't really matter anymore.
Upon re-entering the Twilight Mansion, Yin Kong discovered that he actually had no need for these fancy abilities.
It's very simple; the opponent he carefully selected this time was simply too easy to beat.
Without Yin Kong even needing to actively seek him out, right after the game started, Ayumi, dressed in a white dress, ran up to him and looked him over with curiosity.
"Uncle, your umbrella looks really strange."
Yin Kong nodded, then raised his umbrella and slashed down, instantly taking away most of her health.
Only then did Ayumi realize something was wrong and choose to turn and run away.
However, it was all too late.
After wiping his umbrella, Yin Kong chased after the adorable little angel who had come to him, completely knocking her to the ground.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to launch additional attacks on downed "survivors" in the instance.
To completely eliminate Ayumi, you must use demonic power to trap her and then place her in front of a specific painting.
When Yin Kong was strolling around the castle with Xiang Ling, he had previously discovered the painting "Heavenly Punishment," which was used to open the dungeon. It was one of these paintings used for sacrifice.
"Ayumi, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
Just as Yin Kong picked up Bu Mei, Kojima Genta shouted and immediately rode out from behind the wall on a howling wild boar.
Clearly, the character he chose possesses the ability to rescue teammates from "terrifying demons".
Yin Kong stood there, watching as the disheveled Kojima Genta rode past him menacingly on a wild boar.
The speed of a wild boar's charge is not even as fast as the fog blade fired by "Jack the Ripper".
Even if Kojima Genta hadn't kindly shouted a warning before charging, he wouldn't have been hit by a charge at that speed.
Moreover, the direction you bumped into seems to be the direction of the painting used for sacrifice.
Does this mean that if you are hit by the "terrifying demon" by the wild boar's charge, your teammates who are being held in your hands will automatically regain their freedom?
While Yin Kong was thinking, he also casually hit the wild boar's rear with an umbrella, reducing the boar's health by more than half.
"It actually failed!"
While Kojima Genta was still lamenting that he hadn't hit his target, Yin Kong had already come up behind him with Ayumi and killed the wild boar he was riding with another umbrella.
It is worth mentioning that Yin Kong, as a "terrifying evil spirit", will force the "survivor" to stay in place for about two or three seconds after each attack hits.
At the same time, injured "survivors" will suddenly move faster for a few seconds.
In this way, the "survivor" can once again create distance between themselves and the "terrifying spirit," and have the opportunity to use the terrain to entangle with him again.
However, after being injured, Ayumi was running around like a headless fly, so she was quickly caught up and defeated by Yin Kong.
However, Yin Kong discovered that when he was carrying Bu Mei, there was no forced stun when he hit the "Survivor".
Of course, when Yin Kong, as a demon, was carrying Ayumi, Ayumi would constantly struggle.
If he fails to deliver Ayumi to the specific painting and imprison her in time, she can break free from the demon's power and regain her freedom.
Therefore, in general, it is obviously impossible for Yin Kong to carry a "survivor" and go on a killing spree.
However, it's a different story if someone like Genta willingly walks into a trap.
Yin Kong then used two umbrellas with a bang, easily knocking down the panicked Yuan Tai as well.
Soon, Ayumi and Genta were forced to sit in a row in front of the painting, and the countdown began.
According to the storyline of the instance, once the countdown ends, the soul of the "survivor" will be devoured by the demon, which is equivalent to being eliminated.
Ding! Ding! Ding…
Almost from the very beginning of the game, Yin Kong could hear strange popping sounds and see conspicuous red lights occasionally emanating from two combination lock boxes in the distance.
This is the sound a survivor makes when they make a mistake while cracking the combination lock, essentially revealing their location to their pursuers.
In the previous game, Yin Kong naturally didn't see this thing at all. After all, Wan Ye and the others' operational ability was beyond doubt, so it was impossible for them to make such a low-level mistake.
But during this game, the explosions in Yin Kong's ears almost never stopped.
However, after he hung up the dollar bills, the popping sound from one of the combination locks stopped.
Clearly, the other party has come to bail them out.
Mitsuhiko, or Ran?
The answer was soon revealed.
"It's actually Xiaolan?"
Seeing Xiaolan dressed almost exactly like someone from the real world, raising a flare gun at him, Yin Kong was slightly surprised.
After all, judging from the current situation, not only as a terrifying demon, but also as a mirror image of the "survivor," their clothing and appearance will be quite different from reality, more in line with the "profession" they are playing.
Moreover, given Xiaolan's fear of ghosts, why would she take the initiative to come over?
You see, Yin Kong invited Xiao Lan's mirror image to join this "carnival" because he saw Xiao Lan's characteristic of completely losing her fighting ability after seeing ghosts and monsters.
However, Yin Kong quickly noticed that although Xiao Lan's arms were trembling, her eyes were filled with unwavering determination as she looked at the restrained Ayumi Munetta.
Chapter 161 Memory
Xiaolan wasn't holding a real gun; she was holding a signal flare.
Of course, even if it were a real gun, Yin Kong doubted that it would be of much use to the "terrifying evil spirits" he was currently playing.
This signal gun, like the bamboo stick Xiangling used before, is a special item that can forcibly stun demons for a full five or six seconds.
Watching Ran's reflection run past him with her eyes almost closed, heading straight for Ayumi, Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully to himself.
It seems he did miscalculate somewhat. At least according to the system's assessment, while Xiaolan is indeed afraid of all sorts of demons and monsters, she can still overcome her fear and step forward when her companions, especially companions like Ayumi, need rescue, so she won't be completely sacrificed.
But—it's so lame!
When Yin Kong finally recovered from his dizziness, Xiao Lan had already touched the barrier on Ayumi's body and began to rescue her.
This action only takes about a second, but Yin Kong was still nearly ten meters away from them, which should have been beyond his reach.
However, Yin Kong suddenly shook the "Soul Cleansing Bell" in his hand with a "clang".
This is the power of the "Soul of the Umbrella"—soul-stealing and soul-shattering.
In its black and white forms, it possesses the abilities of "soul-capturing" and "soul-shattering" respectively.
At this moment, Yin Kong was using the "Soul-Shattering" technique:
Shaking the bell will force "survivors" within a certain range in front of you to cover their heads with their hands and lie on the ground for about half a second before undergoing a special judgment.
During the judgment period, the "survivor" cannot use items and skills, and after two consecutive judgment failures, they will enter a "disillusioned" state in which their movement direction is reversed.
Of course, Yin Kong only needs the former right now.
Because "Soul-Shattering" makes the "Survivor" crouch and defend with extremely high priority, almost all of the "Survivor's" skills and actions, including Xiaolan's rescue action at this moment, will be forcibly interrupted.
Then, Xiaolan, who was "lying down in defense with her head in her hands," was naturally judged to have failed.
For her, being able to rush out to save people at this moment was already her limit; as for assessing the situation and thinking calmly, that would be asking too much.
