In his world, even the sound of swords disappeared, completely silent, as if the silence button had been pressed.
Even Su Lin's vision and senses were gradually swallowed up by the darkness, leaving no trace.
Until... Su Lin could no longer even sense his own sword.
He completely lost contact with all his weapons, including the Broken Luck Sword. No matter how he tried to control them, even using his innate abilities, he couldn't summon his own sword!
The enemy has some impressive methods!
Making Su Lin unable to see or hear shocked him deeply, filling him with a mixture of anger and astonishment.
"Is this another SSS-level talent ability?!"
"What kind of effect is this that leaves me completely powerless to resist!"
"Calm down! Calm down!"
Su Lin forced himself to regain his composure and silently perceived everything in the darkness.
He lost his sword and his talent, but he still had the ability to learn on his own.
Calm your mind and focus your energy, then practice the foundation-building techniques.
Su Lin understood that his self-study journey had only just begun and was still not as powerful as when he had the support of the system.
But he had no other choice; the dark, all-encompassing power continued to spread and intensify!
No perception, no heaven and earth, no body, nothing.
Sulin lost all perception of everything.
Even the workings of the world and the flow of time vanished at this moment.
It's like a soul stripped of everything, trapped in the cracks of the turbulent flow of time, trying to perceive the eternity after death with the mindset of the living.
"I still have a way out, I still have a way out!"
Su Lin desperately tried to concentrate, and even though he couldn't sense his body or spiritual energy, he instinctively circulated his mental techniques to clear his mind.
"I have game insurance; there is no penalty for losing."
"The attendants have a number of times they can be spared from death; they are not truly dead."
"At worst, it's just a first failure. Don't panic, and don't give yourself away."
"The enemy is still here, so it must still be here!"
Gradually, Su Lin felt much better. The Foundation Building Technique was indeed useful, allowing him to enter a strange realm where his mind was constantly transforming and refining under the pressure of the bizarre environment.
In that instant, Su Lin felt as if he had forgotten something.
Just like Xiao Linlin mentioned to herself when she was alive, she had forgotten something.
"It seems like I've forgotten something, just like her. Have I forgotten the same thing?"
Su Lin murmured to himself. Strangely, at this moment, he was not concerned about his own survival. Instead, he frowned and kept thinking about the memories he had forgotten.
I entered a survival game, I received an escape mission, I was ambushed by enemies... In the process, what did I forget...?
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through me.
Su Lin realized he had been attacked and severely injured, but he didn't know where he was hurt.
Is it the arm? The thigh? Or the chest?
I don't know, I can't feel my body, but I can feel intense pain and a lot of blood loss.
In this state, retaliation and resistance are virtually impossible.
At this moment, Su Lin was extremely clear-headed, his mind almost psychic. He chose to give up resisting and continue to circulate the Foundation Establishment Technique to maintain a wondrous state.
It's practically a surrender; at worst, it's just death.
Now, Su Lin is even more eager to know what exactly she has forgotten.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The mysterious, unidentified attacks continue, their killing intent so intense that it surges from all directions, yet the enemy's location remains undetermined.
The constant, high-frequency pain relentlessly surfaced, vying to penetrate Su Lin's mind and almost overwhelming his thoughts.
But he was still thinking, lost in thought.
Did Linlin know what she had forgotten before she died?
"She probably meant to tell me... but the enemy knew she was about to be exposed, so they launched an attack?"
"Yes, that's what the enemy is afraid of!"
"The forgotten content... Ouch, it hurts, it really hurts."
Su Lin kept trying to remain calm, but the more frantic the enemy's attacks became, the more anxious he became.
"It's so hard to think about... Right, I can't sense my body right now, and I don't know what my physical condition is. What if my body gets killed? Wouldn't that mean I've lost the game?"
Suddenly, a strange idea popped into Su Lin's head. It came out of nowhere, but it made a lot of sense.
With the enemy's frantic attack frequency, even if my body is incredibly resilient, I should be dead by now, right?
At that very moment, a notification suddenly appeared in Su Lin's eyes.
You have died. The current game has been lost.
Please confirm the match loss message and return to the waiting area immediately.
Forehead?
I...was killed?
However, the mechanism is really powerful. Even though I can no longer perceive anything, I can still "see" the information from the mechanism.
Su Lin's mind was in turmoil, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
After all that effort, he was still killed.
The strongest person in people's eyes died for the first time by an unknown enemy, without even knowing what methods the enemy used.
This is absolutely ridiculous, but that's exactly how it is in Outlast.
Among the countless talents, there are always some that counteract each other.
"Forget it, let's go back to the waiting area. Linlin should know the answer. Let's go ask her."
Su Lin sighed, awaiting the return of death, but there was no sign of escaping the darkness.
"Hmm? Do you want me to confirm the game loss information?"
Su Lin had a slight doubt. It was his first time failing, and he didn't quite understand the process. But just as he was about to confirm the failure with the system, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
