[System prompt: Player Bai Liu was attacked by player Liu Huai's (Dark Night Hidden Blade), and his spirit value was eroded, down by -35. The current spirit value is 4. Warning! Warning! Entered the violent zone! ! ]

[Player name: Bai Liu (Rage attribute bonus panel)]

[Physical Strength: 56 → 655]

[Agility: 249 → 1133]

【Attack: 37→1555】

[Resistance: 36→1776]

[Comprehensive defense and attack power increased, the total attribute points of the playing panel exceeded 4000, and the player was rated as an A+ level player. The player Bai Liu's level increased from F to A+ level]

"That's enough." Bai Liu finally stopped Liu Huai's attacking hands.

Zhang Kui saw Bai Liu's attribute panel and quickly judged: "Your panel is not strong enough to withstand the [Thief Brothers]. [Thief Brothers] are at least A+ level monsters. Only players like Mu Sicheng who are A++ level can withstand them."

"I know." Bai Liu said calmly, "Aren't you still here? Why are you in such a hurry?"

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu controls player Zhang Kui to use his personal skill (Puppet Enhancement) on himself]

[System warning: Player Bai Liu's spirit value is not enough to drop by 50 points!!! Do you want to forcibly strengthen the puppet? ! ! It will cause the player Bai Liu's spirit value to collapse! ]

[System warning: Did the player Bai Liu forcibly use his personal skill (enhanced puppet)? ]

Bai Liu did not hesitate: [Use]

"You're crazy, Bai Liu!!!" Zhang Kui collapsed and was forced to dance his ten fingers to control Bai Liu. The transparent puppet threads invaded the back of Bai Liu's head and pierced into his foramen magnum like a syringe. The remaining puppet threads vibrated his joints and drilled into the seams of Bai Liu's bones. This was an extremely bloody and painful process, but soon the player would become numb to the pain as his mental value decreased.

Zhang Kui yelled at the top of his lungs, frantically pulling the puppet strings in his hand in an attempt to stop Bai Liu, the psychopath: "Bai Liu!!! Your mental value is only 4 points! You can't use this [Puppet Strengthening] skill at all! Forcibly using human skills to reduce your mental value will not forcibly clear your mental value, but it will cause your mental value to collapse! You will go crazy!!!"

Spirit value collapse refers to a state in which the spirit value is not reset to zero even when non-monster mutations in the game reduce the spirit value.

Players can use their personal skills or items to reduce or clear another player's spirit value, but cannot forcibly clear another player's spirit value. In the entire game setting, only monsters can clear a person's spirit value, and players cannot clear a person's spirit value.

For example, Zhang Kui cannot control a player in a berserk state, and the spirit value reduced by Liu Huai's [Dark Night Sleeve Sword] after attacking will suddenly decrease. This shows that these skills and props cannot clear the player's spirit value.

But a very strange situation will occur.

Under the forced and continuous attacks of these [personal skills] and [props], the player's spirit value will eventually approach 0 infinitely. This state is called [infinite spirit value] or [spirit value collapse] among players.

It is said that when the player's mental value is at this stage, the mind will be trapped in the crack between [monster] and [normal human]. The brain has the thinking of a monster, but has a human shell.

Why is the word "rumor" used to describe "mental collapse"?

——Because all the players who have really experienced mental collapse have gone crazy, whether they went crazy and killed all the players in the game, or committed suicide while laughing after leaving the game. As long as they have experienced the state of [mental collapse], every one of them has gone crazy.

Moreover, most of these players with mental collapse have greatly enhanced panel attributes due to their berserk state, and they tend to kill all players in the game. Therefore, the appearance of players with [mental collapse] can be said to be the nightmare of all players in the entire dungeon.

"Bai Liu!!!" Zhang Kui tried his best to control his hands and not to strengthen Bai Liu, "Don't go crazy!! The mental value collapse is not the same as your last mental value of 0.1!! This state is much more dangerous! Your mental value has been reset to zero in theory, but in reality it has not. You will fall into a chaotic subconscious desire space! You will go crazy, Bai Liu!! "

Zhang Kui gnashed his teeth and dragged the puppet string in his hand: "Mu Sicheng is dead, it has no effect on you at all! You can obviously pass the level successfully! You are a smart person, aren't you?! If your mental value collapses, you attack people crazily, and your attribute value is so high, we will all be killed by you! You can't save Mu Sicheng at all! You can only attack him!"

The car door gradually closed and Mu Sicheng was slowly dragged out of the car. He curled up his fingers and pulled at the door frame, as if he was struggling to survive.

Mu Sicheng suddenly opened his eyelids and looked at Bai Liu, his lips opening and closing, as if he was calling Bai Liu's name very unwillingly.

"I know." Bai Liu had already been taught the concept of mental breakdown by Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying, but his eyes were calm to the point of being almost inorganic, and his tone was a bit casual and nonchalant, "But I don't like to break the deal."

"Zhang Kui, or the master." Bai Liu suddenly turned around and smiled at Zhang Kui. "If I really go crazy, then that will be the time to test you. I will still be your puppet at that time. You must control me and make me do what I should do."

“Fuck you!!! Bai Liu——!!” Zhang Kui’s face was bulging with veins from trying so hard. His hands trembled as he tried to control the puppet strings on Bai Liu: “No!!! I can’t do it!!”

"You can do it." Bai Liu smiled carelessly, turned his head and waved his hands, "I believe in you, Great Puppet Master."

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu has entered the (Strengthen Puppet) state. The spiritual value has not dropped enough, and the replenishment calculation is in progress. The replenishment calculation failed. Player Bai Liu cannot provide the 50 spiritual values ​​required for (Strengthen Puppet). Entering the state of forcibly requesting spiritual value.]

[System prompt: Request successful, player Bai Liu's spirit value decreases, 4, 3, 2——0.000000000……1]

Zhang Kui was hysterical: "Stop Bai Liu for me!!!"

[System warning (for all players): Player Bai Liu's mental value has reached a breaking point, making him an extremely dangerous creature! Please escape from him quickly! ]

Bai Liu's eyes gradually lost focus, his breathing stopped, and all the sounds and lights drew very long and chaotic lines in his eyes, becoming something like another plane and latitude.

He entered into a subconscious hallucination caused by a drop in mental status.

Then, Bai Liu seemed to be grabbed by the chest and pulled into the car. The thief brother stepped on his chest and raised his flaming fist at him. When the fist fell, Bai Liu grunted briefly. He turned his head to see his shattered brain, bones and blood. The pain spread vividly to every part of his body.

A second later, Bai Liu was dragged into a completely new scene. He was standing in the carriage that had just started moving. Exploding passengers were pouring into the carriage. Mu Sicheng was saying with a gloomy face that he was going to chase them. A few seconds later, Mu Sicheng walked away indifferently with the mermaid amulet he had stolen. Bai Liu was caught by the limbs and trapped in place by the exploding passengers. The flames engulfed him, and he was burned alive into a charred corpse with a sense of pain.

The vision changed again, Bai Liu was standing on Du Sanying's car with a whip in his hand. He was kneeling on the car gasping for breath, and Du Sanying said to Bai Liu, I can't do it, I can't be with you. With tears in his eyes, he pushed Bai Liu into the crowd of passengers and drove away in his own car. Bai Liu, whose hatred value was locked and his physical strength was drained, could only fall to the ground and was bitten by a group of lost passengers.

He saw Mu Sicheng use the mermaid's amulet, and he himself became a puppet in Zhang Kui's hands forever. He gradually became stupid and dull, and was finally abandoned in a certain copy and died alone.

Endless illusions of death came upon him, and all the possibilities of another fork in the road that led to Bai Liu's death, the scenes that might have appeared in his subconscious, all became real, and then kept reappearing on him as if they had happened.

If people cannot stop thinking, cannot stop imagining, and cannot stop being afraid, then they cannot stop the illusions created from their subconscious mind, not even Bai Liu can do that.

So he could only repeat these subconscious hallucinations thousands of times.

"It's boring to assume that there is no possibility of something happening in the past." Bai Liu was pinned to the ground by Mu Sicheng. He had forgotten which node this death plot originated from. His throat had been brutally cut open by Mu Sicheng's monkey claws. Blood flowed into his trachea as he spoke, which made him cough and laugh. He sighed, "But I'm actually so boring. I've thought about the ways you betrayed me, Mu Sicheng. There are so many ways. I counted them. There may be more than 800 ways."

Burn to death, slit throat, bite to death, strangle to death...

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu strangely, who was still smiling even though he was about to die.

Bai Liu's face was covered with blood from laughing. His eyelids slowly closed as death approached. His words had a peculiar tone because his trachea was cut open.

"Among so many possibilities, you chose the one that didn't betray me." Bai Liu's voice weakened and he closed his eyes. "Then I would choose this one too, Mu Sicheng. This is a fair deal."

[Bai Liu, if I was really dragged away by a monster, would you really risk your life to save me? ]

[Don't worry, if you can do without the mermaid amulet, I am a trustworthy person. Even if I go crazy, I will remember to save you, Mu Sicheng]

After hearing what Bai Liu said, Mu Sicheng lowered his eyes and sneered. He said, I don’t believe you at all, Bai Liu.
