Chapter 155: Preparing to Clear the Level

Liu Xing pointed at the lampshade above and said with a smile, "It seems we were still in the dark, no wonder we searched for quite a while and couldn't find the second prop in the living room. It turns out the prop has been right above us."

Addison and Xue Jingliu looked up and also noticed the dark shadow inside the lampshade.

"So that's it. I never expected the second prop in the living room to be hidden here. But now, I think it might be a trap. If we remove the lampshade, chances are high that it will trigger a mechanism, and the light will automatically go out. Then we'll lose our light source, making the danger of entering the iron door even greater. After all, in the darkness, we'll face a lot of debuffs," Addison said, stroking his chin.

However, Xue Jingliu pointed at the dark shadow in the lampshade and said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, this prop should be a small bottle. If nothing goes wrong, it's another poison vial. If we can get two poison vials, plus Liu Xing's handgun, we might have a chance to kill the Dread Hunter."N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Liu Xing nodded in agreement with Xue Jingliu's point. "Xue Jingliu is right. This prop should be a poison vial. If we can get it, the possibility of killing the Dread Hunter will be higher. But Addison's idea makes sense too. Considering the consistent style of the Cthulhu RPG Game, turning off the lights is the inevitable result. However, the impact of turning off the lights depends on how significant it is."

After saying this, Liu Xing contacted KP Ghost, "Hey, if we turn off the lights, how much will our judgment decrease?"

KP Ghost anticipated this question and immediately responded, "Well, turning off the lights has two phases. The first phase is the adaptation period. Suddenly going from a bright place to a dark one, ordinary people will feel a moment of darkness. This requires an adaptation process. So, within the first five minutes of turning off the lights, all judgments will have a 40% reduction in success rate. After five minutes, once players adapt to the darkness, the reduction will be 25%. However, since you obtained the candle in the study room, it will increase your success rate by 20% and reduce the adaptation time by two minutes."

Liu Xing nodded. In simple terms, within the first three minutes after turning off the lights, all judgments for their group would have a success rate of only 30%. After three minutes, their success rate would rise to 45%, which was acceptable.

"Let's take a gamble then. I'll remove the lampshade now," Addison said, climbing onto the table.

After getting KP Ghost's answer, Liu Xing felt relieved.

After a while, Liu Xing felt his eyes had adjusted to the darkness. He stood up and said, "Alright, it's almost time. Let's go."

To avoid friendly fire, Liu Xing naturally took the lead with his handgun. Addison and Xue Jingliu stood on either side of Liu Xing to throw the poison vials without being obstructed.

As for Hilvy, she naturally stood at the back, responsible for cheering and supporting. After all, Hilvy seemed to lack combat capability, and Liu Xing's group couldn't push her to the front as a meat shield.

"Get ready, everyone. I'm opening the door," Liu Xing said, opening the iron door.

In the instant the door opened, Liu Xing saw a gigantic python with its blood-filled mouth charging towards them.

"Because the Dread Hunter's appearance is too similar to that of a python, and the distance is quite far, players don't need to conduct a SAN check temporarily. You can perform one regular action round. The order is Addison, Liu Xing, Xue Jingliu, and Hilvy. Liu Xing, you can control Hilvy's actions," KP Ghost announced.

Liu Xing understood that this was a module benefit, allowing players to delay the SAN check, preventing them from entering a temporary state of madness before the battle and giving them a chance to heavily wound or even kill the Dread Hunter with the poison vial.
