Chapter 49: Update?!

Chapter 49: Update?!

Liu Xing noticed that at the periphery of the peach grove, Nan Xiaoniao was squatting there, seemingly holding something in her hand.

Suddenly, Liu Xing saw a mirror materialize at the center of the peach trees! And the moment the mirror appeared, Nan Xiaoniao, as if bewitched, started walking slowly towards it.

Liu Xing suddenly felt a loss of control over his body and "he" dashed towards Nan Xiaoniao without hesitation. Tina and Akira Akashi did the same.

As for Li Ming, Tian Dao scooped him up in a princess carry and ran towards Nan Xiaoniao.

At this moment, every player had the same thought—this must be a scripted event in the story!

Although in Liu Xing's eyes, Nan Xiaoniao was moving very slowly, and he could feel "himself" running with all his might, he always remained about a meter away—just out of reach of Nan Xiaoniao.

Tina and Akira Akashi were close on Liu Xing's heels, while Tian Dao and Li Ming, who had been the furthest away, now arrived beside Liu Xing.

Just as Liu Xing was about to catch up to Nan Xiaoniao, her small hand touched the mirror, and then a flash of white light was seen, and Liu Xing lost consciousness instantly.

When Liu Xing came to, he found that control over his body had finally returned, and Nan Xiaoniao was now standing quietly to the side.

"Where is this?" Akira Akashi asked, somewhat confused.

Liu Xing also sensed that something was amiss. The Xianhe Pavilion, normally bustling with the Harvest Festival, was now eerily silent. Aside from the breathing of his companions, Liu Xing could no longer hear any other sounds.

Liu Xing, 24/88, success.

Tian Dao, 81/80, failure.

Li Ming, 99/76, failure.

Tina, 38/72, success.

Akira Akashi, 12/77, success.

As the results of the SAN checks were revealed, everyone instinctively turned to look at Li Ming, as a catastrophic failure on the SAN check assuredly meant temporary madness was imminent...

Tian Dao, 1d4=1+1=2.

"Heh, so Liu Xing, Tina, and Akira Akashi will each lose 1 SAN point and gain 1 point of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge, while Tian Dao will lose 2 SAN points and gain 2 points of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge. As for Li Ming, due to a significant failure on the SAN check, 5 SAN points will be deducted, and 5 points of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge gained," KP Cao announced with a sense of schadenfreude. "Since Li Ming has lost 5 SAN points at once, he now enters a state of temporary madness. Let's proceed with the check for temporary madness."

Li Ming, 9, Fear!

"A fine state of madness indeed. Now, it's time to select the source of the fear," KP Cao chuckled with a hint of glee.

Li Ming, 46, fear of fog!
