Chapter 91 91. Survivorship Bias

The room sank into darkness, and Jiang Jianxin stood there quietly.

She was wondering if there was anything on her body that could illuminate it.

"Wipe—Wipe—"

A certain slippery rhythm flowed past my left ear, like sausage casings sliding across a rusty chopping board, with a scalp-numbing friction sound.

Jiang Jianxin pursed his lips, and when the friction sound got closer, he raised his fist and punched hard to the left.

The tense knuckles slammed into a film of warm blood, and the sticky resistance suddenly dissipated—a piercing roar came from the right rear.

[HP -10000]

A prompt indicating a five-digit health bar reduction appeared in his mind, and a cold spike pierced him.

Jiang Jianxin didn't feel any pain. After all, this attack was still conservative compared to her vernier caliper health bar.

At most, this will scrape the surface of the skin and lift up some frizzy flakes.

Compared to the slight tingling sensation on the body, the biggest fluctuation was Jiang Jianxin's mental fluctuation.

——She realized that she had fallen into a trap.

This strange thing knew how to use the darkness to its advantage to divert attention, and while she was hammering on the left, it launched a swift blow on the right.

If it were someone with ordinary talent, these 10,000 hits would be enough to empty their health bar and kill them instantly.

Jiang Jianxin took a deep breath.

——The darkness greatly affected her judgment, and she needed some light.

Jiang Jianxin thought of the green light trailed by the tail of the Tangguang Sword when he was flying with the sword before.

Her ability [Unknown 1] has low attack power and unknown defense power, but her healing ability and special effects are very explosive.

Jiang Jianxin's sword energy before was a white streak that didn't look obvious. Now, this [Unknown 1] would emit a bright green light whenever it was healing, and would be accompanied by the warm fragrance of blooming green tangerine flowers, which maximized the visual and olfactory aspects.

This would not be a good thing during a battle, but now it is pitch black, which is just right for this light pollution capability.

Seeing his health bar missing a small piece, Jiang Jianxin thought of a sword technique with the most dazzling special effects, quickly unsheathed his sword, slashed at himself, and shouted loudly:

"Mountain flowers, sea trees, swords reflecting neon!"

[HP+1000]

Along with the increase in blood volume in the brain, a brilliant green light surged out from the Tangguang Sword, instantly illuminating the entire room.

Jiang Jianxin thought she would see the monster in some corner, but the moment the green light came on, she saw a pile of bloody flesh stuck to her face, and some warm and foul breath gushed out from close range. Her pupils reflected the six rotating compound eyes in the monster's huge eyes.

"puff----"

It stretched out its scarlet tongue and stabbed it towards Jiang Jianxin's forehead with such force that the latter's forehead turned red.

[HP -100000]

Jiang Jianxin didn't say anything and started beating him with his fist.

"boom----"

With the added bonus of the sword energy, this fierce punch directly turned the mysterious monster into a pile of blue pixels.

"Wow--"

The blue things collapsed into a heap.

With the help of the dim blue light, Jiang Jianxin saw scarlet eyes appearing one after another in the room and various strange figures with blurred outlines hidden in the darkness.

Only then did she realize that it was not this monster that was making a feint to the east and attacking in the west... There were monsters on her left and right.

——The whole house is full of weirdness.

……

"puff----"

After punching the last monster to pieces, Jiang Jianxin stood in a sea of ​​blue pixels, gasping for breath.

There was a beeping sound at the door:
"The sun has risen, and the safe house will be unsealed in ten minutes..."

“Hula——————”

The lights in the room came back on, illuminating the battlefield where the fighting had taken place that night.

The entire room was riddled with holes, the white walls curling and twisting like scalded skin, each scorch mark oozing slime. Dark red flesh membranes trembled at the edges of the deep pits left by the bombardment. The furniture in the room had long since been reduced to shards, and the floor was also pitted and cratered. At the deepest point of all the wounds, a faint, asphalt-like black tide could be seen slowly creeping.

——It’s not difficult to imagine what she fought fiercely with all night.

Jiang Jianxin recalled the entire battle and felt sad.

In the first half of the night, she was unaware of these strange abilities, and the darkness made it difficult for her to dodge, so she was attacked many times and felt itchy all over.

But fortunately, her health bar was long enough, and the monsters surrounded her and hacked her wildly, until they were foaming at the mouth, but they couldn't even reduce one tenth of her health bar.

In the second half of the night, Jiang Jianxin quickly absorbed the combat experience from the first half of the night and delivered precise and painful punches.

After another bloody battle for half a night, we finally won the victory.

"Drip..."

"The safe house is unlocking..."

The door opened wide, and bright sunlight from outside shone in.

It reflects the blue pixels all over the ground, and also shows Jiang Jianxin's upright figure holding a sword.

She rubbed her eyes.

Fighting all night made her eyes red.

A strong sense of fatigue spread from his limbs. Jiang Jianxin took a deep breath and said to himself:
"And I got the Tangguang Sword, so I could cross the sea and tame the giant whale."

"Om——"

With a flash of green light, her blood volume was restored, and the warm healing power also cheered her up a little.

Jiang Jianxin yawned and lazily walked out of the room in the bright morning light.

"Sword Master, this way!"

In the distance, Christine put her hands in her pockets and was calling her. Gu Fengliu had also come out, squatting on the ground with a heavy sword on his shoulder and eating a banana. When he saw her looking at him, he waved the banana in his hand in a friendly manner.

For some reason, ever since she saw his agile jumping skills in the jungle, the image of Gu Fengliu in her mind has become that of a nimble monkey in the mountains.

——Obviously, he was quite handsome, but Jiang Jianxin just couldn’t get his elegant figure.

She walked over slowly. Gu Fengliu stood up from the ground, stuffed a banana into her mouth, and then stammered:
"There's water in my safe house. I'll give it to you and the Emperor. Each of you can take one. It's the size of a banana. The Emperor just ate it and it's all gone."

Christine nodded gracefully and then smacked her lips.

Jiang Jianxin stared at the banana in his hand and asked blankly:

"Why... is there fruit in your safe house?"

Gu Fengliu looked at her in surprise:
"There's water in the safe house, but bananas are very, very rare."

He asked casually:
"What's wrong? Didn't you see any fruit?"

Jiang Jianxin: “…”

She didn't really see any fruit, but she did see a lot of weird things.

Seeing that her expression was not right, Christine asked with concern:

"Did something happen last night?"

Jiang Jianxin let out a breath and told the two of them some of his experiences.

Gu Fengliu was surprised:

"I haven't heard of that. Everyone says the house is safe."

Christine was also surprised:

"This is the first time I've heard of something strange happening in someone's safe house."

"But then again...it's possible that there really is danger in the safe house like the one Sword Master described."

Gu Fengliu asked while chewing a banana with a bulging stomach:
"How to say?"

Christine said slowly:
"Survivor bias: everyone who encounters a dangerous house dies, and only those who live in a safe house survive."

"So the safe house, just became a 'safe house'."
