[Notification: You have obtained the 'Kidney of the Resurrected'! You have been afflicted with the Overexertion status!]
[Excessive Fatigue ④: Passive - Maximum stamina reduced by 40%, stamina consumption increased fourfold! Curse status has been stacked; the next curse effect will be increased fivefold!]
...
The curse penalty for the kidneys is a reduction in maximum stamina and doubled fatigue.
The impact won't be that severe.
As long as he doesn't fight, he won't expend too much energy, which is why Su Bai ranked the search for the kidneys fourth.
The stronger the curse effect, the more priority should be given to finding it.
He first tackled the three most difficult ones, and the kidney curse and lung curse were relatively easy afterward.
But it's also the most time-consuming.
After the kidney was found.
Nearly five minutes have passed since the task began.
The time taken for this task was almost equal to the combined time of the previous three.
"Waaah...~"
As soon as Su Bai returned to the living room, he heard a faint whimper, as if a weeping ghost was crawling behind him, very close to him.
He looked down slightly and could even see a pair of pale hands resting on his shoulders.
The walls of the living room were covered in blood, the paint peeling off to reveal piles of corpses; long, black hair was growing and writhing in the corner, covering half of the living room; a bloodstained rope was wrapped around the crystal chandelier, from which a corpse was hanging, its back to Su Bai, and strangely, no matter how he moved, he could only see its back.
Clang!
The sound of the door opening, which seemed to come from nowhere, had turned into a violent slamming of the door, as if the terror inside was eager to burst out.
"There are 7 seconds left until five minutes have passed."
Su Bai took out his pocket watch.
The system time had started spinning erratically at an alarming rate, further fueling panic. Fortunately, the mechanical pocket watch remained unaffected.
He rushed to the corpse and stuffed the kidney back into its chest.
Then he ran to the last bedroom.
It's only a dozen meters long.
It felt like he had just completed a 100-meter sprint, and he couldn't help but pant. The chill behind him was intensifying. Without hesitation, Su Bai opened the door to the second bedroom.
Whew!!
A thick cloud of smoke immediately billowed out.
"Cough cough...!!" The thick smoke seemed to be mixed with pepper powder, which immediately caused Su Bai to cough violently, and his eyes stung.
He quickly took out the crow mask and put it on.
That makes me feel a little better.
But it is also limited.
The thick smoke seemed to penetrate everything and enter his lungs directly, making it difficult for him to breathe and almost suffocating within seconds.
"This is the last difficult part..."
Su Bai held her breath and peered through her dim yellow glasses at the smoke-filled bedroom.
In front of him stood a tall figure, swaying and trying to approach him.
"We can't let him catch us!"
Su Bai felt a chill run down his spine.
Although he couldn't see their faces, he knew that the person standing in front of him was the father of this family. The final test was to find the lung organs while dodging his capture in the thick smoke.
However, being caught by him will not result in harm or death; instead, you will be randomly teleported to other locations in the room.
—This is actually more terrifying than death.
Visibility is reduced in the thick smoke, with a visibility of no more than half a meter. The only thing players can see is the floor beneath their feet.
The bedroom floor is made up of square tiles.
If players search carefully in the storage room, they can find a special chessboard. The different colored pieces on the board are the key clues to passing this test.
But the premise is...
You absolutely must not be caught by a man in thick smoke.
Once caught, their locations will be disrupted, and then it will be purely a game of luck.
Bad luck.
It's quite common for people to be trapped and die here.
The curses on the kidneys and lungs, while not as severe as the other three, present increasingly extreme challenges!
"Seven on the left, two on the right... cough cough..."
Su Bai coughed and wheezed incessantly.
The curse of excessive fatigue had drastically reduced the time he could hold his breath.
But this is already the best possible outcome.
If he takes the lungs first, the four-fold enhanced lung curse will make it impossible for him to get through the maze.
The monster couldn't actually see anything in the thick smoke.
Su Bai's cough provided it with precise location information, and several times it almost touched the hem of Su Bai's clothes.
The chase was not fast.
But I was terrified.
It was extremely dangerous. Su Bai found a wooden box placed on some kind of altar in the room. Inside the box was the last lung organ.
[Notification: You have obtained 'Lungs of the Resurrected'! You have been afflicted with the Breathlessness status!]
[Difficulty breathing ⑤: Passive mode, you feel that breathing has become very difficult!]
[Prompt: You have collected all five organs. The resurrected being is awakening. Please place the organs into its body as soon as possible, otherwise the resurrected being will indiscriminately attack anyone possessing an organ!]
[Countdown: 19!]
...
It was as if a giant hand had suddenly grabbed Su Bai's neck, making it almost impossible for him to breathe, and his cheeks quickly turned red.
"Cough cough!!"
He was still coughing.
But at that moment, the thick smoke seemed to be coming directly from his lungs.
Suffering piled up.
Double the experience.
