A talisman shimmering with purple light was placed in Su Lin's hand.
[Basic Lightning Strike Talisman]: Purple consumable item; activated with any "energy". Once activated, it is thrown and can automatically track the nearest spirit or ghost-like enemy unit, dealing non-physical lightning damage; requires 50,000 resource coins to exchange.
These were the contingency items that Su Lin had prepared in advance, and he happened to possess internal energy, which allowed him to activate the talisman.
"Bang!"
As internal energy flowed into the talisman, it instantly burst into flames, but was not destroyed by the fire. Purple flames enveloped the talisman, and flashes of electricity could be seen with the naked eye.
"Whoosh!"
Su Lin tossed the talisman behind him. The lightning talisman paused briefly in the air, then, as if attracted by something, it transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the ghost doll.
"Bang!! Crash! Crack!"
Behind the corridor, the lightning talisman exploded around the ghost doll, bursting into blinding arcs of electricity in an instant.
The electric arc was so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes, but in the next second Su Lin saw it: the ghost doll was still holding the rattle drum, laughing as it chased after him through the tip of the electric arc.
"This is useless too?!"
Su Lin was surprised and momentarily confused, but quickly regained his composure.
Fear and cowardice are of no help in the fight; you must calmly think about the next battle strategy.
But... but what other solutions are there?
The Tang sword's strongest physical attacks are ineffective, as are its magical attacks!
What on earth is this thing?
The game was supposed to be supernatural, so why is the difficulty level so abnormally high?
In that instant, a flash of inspiration struck Su Lin; he seemed to be about to grasp the key to the problem, but he just couldn't recall it.
"It's decryption... It's invincible until it's successfully decrypted..."
Xiao Linlin whispered her explanation in Su Lin's arms. She was quick-witted and soon grasped the core of the problem.
"Invincible?"
Su Lin's voice was filled with anger: "How am I supposed to fight like this! Is the game system messing with me?!"
Is he invincible until the decryption is complete?
It seems this is just a strange mechanism!
Then what's the point of running away?!
It's already got its eye on them, and judging by how frantically it's chasing after the guy on steroids, it can't shake him off at all.
You can't expect Su Lin to run around while trying to decipher the code, can you?
"Run faster, brother, faster!"
Xiao Linlin took a deep breath, gripping Su Lin's collar tightly, her eyes becoming vacant again: "Hurry! Brother, hurry! It's almost time!"
"time?"
Su Lin was taken aback. As he ran around a corner in the corridor, he made a point of glancing at the clocks hanging in each corridor.
2:58 AM!
The in-game cycle timer is about to expire!
Su Lin suddenly realized what was happening, but at that moment he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from behind him!
It's that ghost doll!
For some reason, its speed suddenly increased dramatically, and it caught up with Su Lin from behind.
"Bang!"
A whooshing sound came from the air, and Su Lin suddenly turned around, raised his Tang sword to fight back, and slashed in the opposite direction!
In the instant he turned around, he saw the ghost doll floating high in the air, raising the rattle drum in its hand and smashing it hard against him.
The Tang sword flashed through the air, striking the rattle drum in a cold light!
"puff!"
The blade flashed through the air, passing through the rattle drum as if piercing through a shadow, without any effective resistance.
"Missed it again!"
Su Lin was momentarily surprised. The rattle accelerated halfway through its flight, striking Su Lin's chest and abdomen in almost a millisecond. Su Lin only had time to raise his right hand to block!
"Crack!"
His right wrist was shattered, his entire hand was smashed and twisted, and the bones cracked on the spot.
My attacks are ineffective against it, but it can hit me!
That's outrageous!
This is a completely unfair fight!
A sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body, but Su Lin remained calm in the face of danger. He used the force to retreat rapidly, creating distance between himself and the ghost doll. Then, using his remaining internal energy to boost his speed, he quickly rushed towards the last corridor!
Su Lin pursed her lips tightly and ran away without looking back.
Su Lin had lost all will to fight and kept dodging. The two minutes passed quickly.
"Big brother, it's time..."
When Xiao Linlin whispered a reminder in his arms, Su Lin suddenly stumbled and missed a step!
Su Lin felt a wave of dizziness and nearly stumbled. When he regained his balance and looked around, he realized that the surrounding environment had changed from the first floor of the hospital to a parking lot under the moonlight.
He's back in the starting position!
"hiss!"
Su Lin gasped, his body still tense, but the sharp pain in his arms made cold sweat break out on his forehead.
In those brief few minutes, he endured the excruciating pain of his bones being shattered and his flesh being torn apart as he ran wildly. Even with his high physical stats, he was starting to feel the strain.
"Big brother, let me do it..."
Xiao Linlin obediently jumped down from Su Lin's arms, rummaged through Su Lin's backpack to find medicine, and began to apply it and treat Su Lin.
Su Lin brought a great many kinds of war supplies, including a lot of medicines for fractures and other external injuries, and the quality of these medicines was not low.
With the application of medication, the pain was quickly suppressed, and the fractured area was rapidly healing.
However, the battle losses were quite significant. Su Lin glanced at the resource coin information above his backpack, next to which were the numbers for losses in each match.
What was originally only 80,000 or 90,000 has suddenly soared to almost 200,000!
Okay!
We haven't even found an escape point yet, and we haven't earned anything, but we've already lost supplies worth 200,000!
Su Lin's face immediately darkened. Fortunately, he had earned a martial arts box worth tens of millions from his first welfare payment, otherwise he would have really lost big time!
"What exactly is going on?"
Su Lin took a deep breath and looked down at Xiao Linlin: "Do you understand now?"
"I think I understand."
Xiao Linlin nodded, applying medicine to Su Lin while speaking softly: "The mystery has been fully revealed, most of the wrong directions have been eliminated, and what remains is the truth."
"besides..."
Xiao Linlin looked up at Su Lin and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, big brother's new talent effect should be coming soon."
The moment Xiao Linlin finished speaking, a new notification appeared before Su Lin's eyes.
[Match start detected. You have gained a new match talent effect!]
