My different world is game mode.

Chapter 1034 [Horrible Heartbeat]

"The [Horror Game] module... has been upgraded again?"

Lindsay was a little confused at first.

But when he looked at the pile of living flesh lying in front of him that had lost its soul, he came to his senses.

A dark underground maze, chasing a target who is trying hard to escape.

In the end, because of this kind of interrogation, the other party's soul collapsed and died.

"This kind of plot really fits the setting of a horror game."

Lindsay shook her head slightly and opened the attribute panel in a subtle mood.

As the modules are upgraded, new skills of [Horror Game] are revealed.

[Heartbeat of Terror: Players can choose to activate the passive skills [Danger Sense] or [Aura of Fear].

Danger Perception - When a powerful enemy or crisis is approaching, the player will experience accelerated heartbeat, reddened vision, and rapid breathing to alert them to the coming of the crisis. The intensity of the alert will also change accordingly with the strength and distance of the danger.

Fear Aura - When the player chases the enemy, the enemy will gain the effect of danger perception, but will also be suppressed in all attributes, and as the distance between the two sides approaches, the enemy will gradually fall into an uncontrollable state of panic.

Note: You don’t need to look back to know that I’m here! 】

"..."

"The danger perception effect can be considered permanent."

One skill, two effects.

[Fear Aura] There are no experimental subjects, so the specific effects are not yet clear.

But just by looking at the description, Lindsay also knew the benefits of [Danger Sense].

He already has early warning equipment such as the [Sky Compass], but these things are only effective with probability, not 100% triggering.

The [danger perception] brought by [terrifying heartbeat] is different.

Once this skill is activated, it will take effect permanently as long as the module is not switched, and it will definitely be triggered. At the same time, as a passive skill, there will be no consumption of essence.

The effect and loss are both in the most ideal state!
"I now have 5 module slots."

"Even if [Horror Game] continues to occupy a slot, it will not affect the combat capability under normal conditions..."

"Lotta, let's go!"

"We just figured out the next route, and it's still a long way to go."

Lindsay switched modules, put on the clothes of a believer, and continued to move forward into the dark underground world.

From the previous inquiries, he also figured out the underground environment explored by the believers.

The space here is even larger than you might initially imagine!

Just to say the area recently explored by believers, the vertical height covers an area of ​​more than 10 kilometers.

As for the floor area...

There are tunnels all over the lake, except for areas close to the shore.

You know, this is an inland sea called a lake!

In the real world, it could even exceed the area of ​​many countries.

On this basis, if we calculate the extremely exaggerated depth, it would be absolutely no problem to say that this is an independent underground world!

"This is in line with the ability of an eighth-stage expert!"

"But according to the information we just received, there are 27 believers, and there are even fewer Deviants than them. Can they explore an area of ​​this size with such efficiency? Sometimes I have to admit that these guys are really outrageous!"

Lindsay's sigh made Rota misunderstand something.

The mechanical maid immediately answered seriously:
"Commander, if necessary, I can convert all the stored mechanical units into reconnaissance probes. As long as they are not destroyed, I can surpass the enemy's reconnaissance progress within a week..."

Rota's expression changed again:
"Commander, my reconnaissance probe has been destroyed again!"

Lindsay was not panicked at all, and even her eyes lit up:
"Let's go, your identity is settled!" Lindsay continued to accelerate, rushing forward in the dark tunnel.

Without the need to scout the route, with their extremely fast speed, the two encountered another believer who was exploring the map three minutes later.

then.

In less than a second, screams were heard before another reconnaissance probe was sacrificed.

Lota also adopted the dress and appearance of a believer.

In the following half day, as they were getting closer to their target location, Lindsay didn't even use the [Eternal Mark] anymore, and the two of them walked across a route with a vertical distance of more than 10 kilometers.

Another half hour passed.

After they turned 17 times in the underground tunnel, Rota, who was still walking on the wet soil, stopped again:

"Commander, there are signs of human activity down there, and they're fresh."

Lindsay raised her eyebrows:

"Your probe..."

Before Lindsay could finish his question, Rota shook his head:

"In light of the previous destruction incident, I adjusted my reconnaissance strategy and introduced new reference entries in the calculation of environmental parameters. Therefore, this time I found the traces in advance and was not discovered by the enemy."

Lindsay smiled at Lotta, and he sniffed the moisture on his nose.

At this depth, normal water vapor could not possibly invade the soil. So now it was certain that the entire underground space was permeated with water elements.

"Then put away the probe and let's go over there."

"Although my [Adventure Map] cannot expand its range, basic exploration is still effective."

Taking the physical conditions of the two believers into consideration, Lindsay and Rota slowed down their previous lightning-fast movement speed and tried their best to keep their pace within the range of a fifth-stage awakener.

Continue forward along the route taken by the reconnaissance probe.

After 7 turns.

Lindsay's pace continued to slow down, and he gestured to Rota:
"Remember, my name is Carl now, and your name is Millicent."

"We don't like those deformed people who come back to life after death, but we absolutely respect the people of the church."

Rota nodded slightly and followed closely behind.

It wasn't long before Lindsay heard some subtle noises above the sound of the wind in the tunnel.

Rota’s early warning was very accurate.

About 470 meters away from the map opened by the reconnaissance probe, 7 marks appeared on the [Adventure Map], and they were all hostile colors, the darkest red!

And with the help of the construction of underground tunnels.

Lindsay stepped closer, and without any tricks, the sound echoing in the tunnel air automatically became clearer:

"I think... this should be... the place we are looking for."

"no!"

"Do you think... this is really safe?"

"Our people should do as much reconnaissance as possible... and make sure everything is foolproof before taking action."

"We've spent too long here!"

"Does that mean that the people we sent out will never cause any accidents? We wasted too much time. This is the most critical issue!"

“But you have to understand that if we take action here - activate that nature spirit, life and death will be a small matter. But the masters cannot get what they want, and this is the most serious problem!”

"Listen to me, do it now!"

"If you don't come, I'll try it myself!"
