The lack of a dictionary prevented them from completely deciphering the correct text content for a while. Shen Lin asked them: "Do you know about Princess Louise?"

Several people nodded. Although this matter was a secret, many people in the aristocratic circle knew about it because it was too much trouble.

Baier slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot, I'm still a nobleman, and I went to a fucking noble academy."

Floy: "But live like a beggar here."

Everyone was silent in the sad reality.

KP: "You mentioned Princess Louise, just for inspiration."

Shen Lin rolled and passed.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something. He had heard his godfather mention that ten years ago, Princess Louise had an engagement with the eldest son of the Heinuo family, and the wedding was held when the princess was 16 years old.

But unfortunately, the eldest son of the Heinuo family died of a sudden illness, and shortly thereafter, the princess also died in the iris bush after holding the horrible sacrifice ceremony.

Shen Lin: "Ten years ago, because a sacrifice was lost, the sacrificial ceremony failed. The eldest son of the Hai Nuo family, that is, Dorenna's elder brother, died suddenly. The princess also died in the ceremony not long after."

Nana asked, "Are they worshiping a god?"

KP: "One more inspiration."

Bayer had goosebumps all over his body: "It's over, it's over, I have a hunch that something bad is going to happen."

Shen Lin rolled.

success.

KP: "Pass through the san-check first, minus 0 for success, minus 1D6 for failure."

"Fuck! 1D6?!" Bayer roared out.

Floy's finger pushing the glasses was trembling, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "I remember that there is a rule that once the San value loses 5 points or more, it will fall into temporary madness?"

KP: "Yes, but before falling into temporary madness, you need to make a will check to see if you can understand this sudden thought."

"1D6... If you roll to 5 or 6 points, you may fall into madness."

"What is the manifestation of temporary madness?"

"Well..." KP said slowly, "Random performance, roll a 10-sided dice, and the number that comes out represents your symptoms of madness, for example, 1 is amnesia, 2 is pseudo-disability, 3 is violent tendencies, and 4 is madness. Paranoid, 5 interpersonal dependence, 6 fainting, 7 avoidance behavior, 8 hysteria, 9 fear, 10 mania."

Everyone: "..." Damn it, it all sounds scary.

KP smiled friendly: "Explain in more detail. For example, pseudo-disability means that you think you have physical defects, such as blindness, deafness, missing arms and broken legs, etc.; There is a serious dependence on someone in your life," his eyes fell on Yan Xiuyi intentionally or unintentionally, "you will think that he is your lover, have a strong sense of possession of him, and even desire to have a relationship with him."

"Oh shit."

"Is it possible for anyone?"

"Yes," said KP, "it's not limited to players, NPCs are also possible."

"Who specifically has an explanation?"

A strange arc appeared on the face of the paper figurine dressed as a magician, full of malice: "Look at my mood."

Everyone: "..." Fuck, I still can't offend KP.

Shen Lin was silent and asked, "How long will the temporary madness last?"

"Soon, 1D10 only."

"Up to 10 days?!" Everyone was furious, "Ten days have passed, and our ashes have to be collected."

"So, good luck to you." He looked at Shen Lin with a smile.

The dice appeared before Shen Lin's eyes, and Shen Lin threw it.

san-check failed.

Re-roll the reduction.

6 points.

Everyone: "!!!!"

Shen Lin asked, "Will test?"

KP: "Yes, please throw, let me explain to you in detail, if you pass this sanity check, it proves that you can understand what is going on, and you will go crazy; if you don't, it proves that you can't Understand what's going on right now, and your brain's protective mechanisms will allow you to ignore these incomprehensible things."

Shen Lin rolled, 89 points, failed.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Baier: "Scared me to death."

Shen Lin's mind was in chaos, and a childhood memory flooded in. After a long time, those memories were blurred, like gray fog rising in the morning, thin but covering his sight.

Childhood nightmares flooded into my mind——

He heard dogs barking.

He pushed open the door.

All corners are thick with smoke.

He saw a handsome blond man in the room being bitten to pieces by something that couldn't see clearly. Something like a tail trailed by black mist.

They all bit on the man's body, densely packed, like blood vessels and bones distributed on the black mist, the body was intertwined and piled up, without entity.The slender and soft tongue pierced the skin like a beak, sucking all the liquid on the man's body, and he quickly became dry. Under the black mist, the seemingly soft but hard and sharp claws pierced the man's flesh and picked out the internal organs , blood and turbid internal organs dripped all over the ground.

The man was not completely dead yet, he looked at Shen Rin weakly, his emerald green pupils were full of dull light, he exhausted his last bit of strength, and mouthed to Shen Rin: "Run away—"

He stopped breathing.

——The black invisible scourge swept through the obscure and endless corridors full of terrible fantasies, which will bring about my destruction.

The chanting voice of a bard rang in his ears, as low as the evening when the storm was about to fall.

He clearly heard the loud sound of his heart beating against his chest.

"O'Rourke? O'Rourke?" Floy's low voice pulled Shen Lin out of this dark and terrifying memory.

Shen Lin took a sharp breath of air, and after a while he said, "It's a miracle that I'm not crazy." He was about to relay this memory to everyone, when he suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked KP: "If I tell them, will they Will it drop San?"

KP smiled: "Yes, dear."

Shen Lin: "..."

Shen Lin thought for a while and said, "I saw a handsome blond man before his death. I won't describe the details. You may lose san. I guess that person is Dorenna's brother. Does anyone know about it?" What's his name?"

Floy said, "Verin Heynor, how did you see the picture of him before he died?"

"I don't know," Shen Lin said, "It feels like a nightmare I often had in my childhood."

"Fuck!" Several people were completely shocked.

"It's very likely that I really looked directly at that scene at the time," Shen Lin said with sweat dripping from his forehead, "That's why it became a childhood nightmare, but I never remembered it before."

"Then..." Nana asked suspiciously, "How did you see that picture?"

"It's possible to be a guest at Heinuo's house. Aren't we all nobles? Don't nobles often hold that kind of thing," Bayer scratched his chin and said, "Just that, a tea party?"

"Blonde hair and blue eyes..." Shen Lin murmured in a low voice.

Hearing his muttering, Floy got goosebumps all over his body: "...No way?" He thought of a possibility.

Shen Lin was silent.

"One more inspiration," KP said.

Everyone: "??? Pay it back"

KP: "Yes."

Shen Lin threw it, but failed this time.

KP sighed regretfully: "Actually, I really want to advance the plot."

Everyone knows it well: you clearly want to see someone die.

The discussion came to an end temporarily, and they shared with each other what they saw and heard today. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Several people tensed up, Baier lowered his voice, and asked nervously: "Pretend nobody?"

"There's such a big light on in the room." Floy rolled his eyes.

Bayer: "..."

Shen Lin said, "Bayer went to investigate."

Baier: "Oh!!! KP, I'll do an investigation."

He rolled and succeeded.

Bayer hid behind the window and looked out through the blurred window.

Standing outside the house was a middle-aged woman wearing an apron. She was tall and thin, her cheeks were slightly protruding, her brows were tightly frowned, and she looked quite serious. She was carrying something in her hand.

Behind her stood the girl Lysa, holding a flower basket in her hand, in which there were still a few unsold lilies left.

Bayer told Shen Lin and the others about the visitors.

Shen Lin asked through the door, "Who is it?"

Lysa's crisp voice sounded outside the house: "It's Mrs. Fournier, this house used to be hers."

Everyone: "..."

Shen Lin looked back at them, and the others temporarily found a place to hide, and he stood obediently in front of Mrs. Fournier, allowing her to look at him coldly.

Shen Lin said: "Sorry, Mrs. Fournier, we really have nowhere to go. Recently, the outside is very turbulent."

Mrs. Fournier looked away from Shen Lin's face and fell on the pool of blood on the ground. Her expression became more severe: "Why do you live here? Are you not afraid?"

Shen Lin was startled, and looked at Lysa, who winked at him, Shen Lin vaguely understood something.

KP: "It is recommended not to use Charm, this lady's will is very high."

Shen Lin gave him a blank look: "Why don't you let Yueshen Township be filled with children and grandchildren?"

KP: "..."

Shen Lin said, "Is Mrs. Fournier referring to this pool of blood?"

Mrs. Fournier's sharp eyes reminded Shen Rin of his high school math teacher. She was also a serious and upright middle-aged woman who was always unsmiling and had a strong mathematical thinking and awareness. The students liked her, and Shen Lin didn't have a good impression of her, until one day, he happened to meet her who was picking up her daughter from kindergarten, and he saw her soft side as a mother and a woman.

Serious and conscientious in her career, gentle and loving in her family, she is a good teacher and a good mother.

Shen Rin doesn't know Mrs. Fournier well enough, and apart from charm, he only has a relatively high skill point of listening. If he throws persuasion, he may fail, so he decided to achieve physical persuasion through his own observation.

"Let's do an investigation first." Shen Lin said.

He tosses the point and succeeds.

The next moment, Shen Lin found a trace of sadness under Mrs. Fournier's serious eyes, and he quickly found the direction of persuasion: "I'm not afraid, because this is the blood left by my compatriots."

Mrs. Fournier looked at Shen Rin in shock, her facial features gradually lost her serious expression, revealing her fragile line of defense.

Lysa sighed and said to Shen Lin: "Mrs. Fournier came to pay homage to her child, and it is her son who died here."

The author has something to say:

The black formless scourge swept through the dark and endless corridors full of terrifying fantasies, which would bring about my destruction.
