Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

It's hard to imagine that when Yi Zanglan and his group rushed over, they saw Shen Yubai crawling forward with a extinguished incense stick in his mouth, carrying Qin Shaoyu on his back, like a bizi carrying a stone tablet.

"...Are you two alright?" Yan Zhao remained silent for a long time before choosing her words tactfully. "I'm really happy to see how close you two are, but I still hope you can be a little more dignified."

Qin Shaoyu was heartbroken: "Listen to what you're saying! You have no idea what we've been through! I'm blind, and Lao Shen can't stand up anymore. We're practically a disabled duo now. What do we care about decorum?"

Yi Zanglan sighed, walked over, squatted down next to Shen Yubai, and carefully checked him for injuries.

Fortunately, thanks to the effect of the Shadowless Incense skill, the fish ignored him. However, after crawling on the rocky beach for too long, his clothes were filthy, and his palms and arms were chafed and bleeding.

"Why can't you stand up?"

"I can't really say." Shen Yubai sat up with her help. He frowned and shook his head, looking confused. "I just woke up and found that my limbs were a bit unbalanced. I can't control the strength of my walking, and... I seem to have lost my sense of touch and pain. Now I don't feel much when I touch anything."

She squeezed his hand tightly to confirm, "Does it hurt? Can you feel my warmth?"

He looked at her blankly: "It doesn't hurt, and I can't feel it."

"Okay, I understand." Yi Zanglan responded softly, then reached out and patted him comfortingly, and also patted Qin Shaoyu's shoulder, "Don't be too scared, it's not just the two of you who are disabled, there's also a deaf person, a mute person, and a person with a missing nose over there."

"so……"

"It's related to statues. Worshipping different evil spirit statues may affect one's five senses at night."

She made this deduction on the way here, based on her teammates' performance and the physical characteristics of the statues, and it wasn't difficult to make a judgment.

Lingye's statue is called the Silent Hound, and its mouth is sealed shut, so it can't speak now;

Yan Zhao's statue is called the Fisherwoman with a Flower in Her Hair. The flower is inserted into the Fisherwoman's nostril, so she has lost her sense of smell.

The statue of Qin Shaoyu is called the Black Sheep with its Tail Covered by the tail, so he cannot see it.

Although Juniper is still in a coma and cannot be questioned, his statue is called the Mermaid Priest. Based on the common knowledge that fish ears are hidden in the skull, it can be roughly guessed that he has lost his hearing.

As for Shen Yubai, his statue is called Tambourine Performer. At first glance, it is just a bald, naked man holding a musical instrument. It is not yet certain what the connection is, but judging from his expression, he has definitely lost his sense of touch and balance.

The broken statues convey to players varying degrees of incompleteness.

"This round is really weird." Yan Zhao sat down on the ground and subconsciously rubbed his nose, which was completely numb. "It's one thing that I can't smell anything, but Lao Qin and Lao Shen are just torturing us. They are even the luckiest people in our team."

Luck, a mysterious force, failed to work in this round.

Qin Shaoyu hung his head, trying to save face weakly: "Sigh, luck still has some use. For example, even in my condition, those fish didn't come into the guard post to bite me, and I managed to hold on until Old Shen came to rescue me."

"...Alright then."

At this moment, Ling Ye returned from patrolling the guard post near Du Songzi and gestured to Yi Zanglan. It wasn't standard sign language; it was an original style.

Yi Zanglan nodded and translated for everyone: "The statue has been put back in place. It's not much different from before, except that there are two more holes in the fish-ear position."

"Perhaps we need to find something to install so that the evil spirits will stop bothering us," Yan Zhao pondered. "This Netherworld Island is quite vast; we'll probably need to explore it thoroughly by daybreak."

"Can the two of us still explore like this?" Qin Shaoyu shakily stretched out a hand, intending to put it on Shen Yubai's shoulder, but accidentally put it on Yi Zanglan's shoulder instead. "...Well, I don't want to cause trouble for the team. I can actually walk, but you'll have to find me a cane."

Yi Zanglan let him lean on her, and calmly replied, "Don't worry, there are so many trees on the island, it won't be a problem to wear down a walking stick for you."

"Thank you, Captain. You're so kind to me."

At this moment, Shen Yubai was crawling slowly on the ground with his teammates as the center, trying to adapt to his unfamiliar and stiff limbs.

He tried to stand up several times, but before he could take two steps, he lost control of his strength and fell to the ground with a "thud".

Later, Yi Zanglan and Yan Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, so they each supported him on either side and helped him practice walking, leaving only Ling Ye, the mute, to stay and take care of the dejected blind man and the unconscious deaf man.

Qin Shaoyu rested his chin on his hand, sighing for a long time, then suddenly seemed to remember something and realized something.

"Wait a minute, if all five of us were affected, why is the captain completely unharmed? Wild King, did the captain lose anything?"

Lingye: "..."

"...Oh, oh!" Qin Shaoyu realized what he had done and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot you can't speak!"

* * * * * *

As the sun rises above the sea, the faint morning light shines through the clouds onto the Youming Island shrouded in a thin mist.

Yi Zanglan stood in front of her own statue for a long time, observing the raven's head and wings, lost in thought.

Yan Zhao stood behind her and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure there's absolutely nothing wrong with your body?"

"no."

"This is so strange. The more normal you seem, the more uneasy I feel."

After all, in a game, special circumstances often mean greater hidden dangers.

"There's no need to put pressure on yourself beforehand; the rules will always provide an answer."

As Yi Zanglan spoke, she glanced down at her bracelet, which was only slightly tarnished and progressing normally.

Then she suddenly heard Yan Zhao exclaim "Huh?" in a very puzzled tone: "...Lanlan, I think I can smell it."

She turned her head: "Your sense of smell has returned?"

"Yes, they've recovered. Let's go check on the others!"

Just as the two were about to turn back, they saw their teammates running towards them.

Sure enough, it seemed that Qin Shaoyu could see it, and Shen Yubai was also walking briskly.

Yi Zanglan turned her gaze to Ling Ye, and before she could speak, Ling Ye nodded.

"It seems we are only affected at night; the daytime is normal."

"Um."

She looked at Du Songzi again, but before she could even say a few words of comfort, she saw that Du Songzi's eyes were red and she was about to cry.

"I'm so sorry, Captain. I was completely unconscious when I was possessed by the evil spirit. I've caused...so much trouble for everyone..."

He was already injured, and the wound was bandaged with the decorative silk scarf from Qin Shaoyu's coat. The soft silk scarf, combined with his pale and delicate face, and his tearful expression, made him look so pitiful that no one had the heart to criticize him.

"What's there to apologize for? It's a problem with the system, not your fault." Yi Zanglan casually touched his head. "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt much anymore. Brother Ling was very careful with his touch."

"Don't feel guilty. This isn't a bad thing. At least we've got some leads now, and you've contributed to that."

"Thank... thank you, Captain."

Qin Shaoyu watched from the side, filled with shock and envy, and couldn't help but pinch Shen Yubai's lower back hard, secretly complaining.

"How come Juniper can cry and act so cute? Is this what our captain falls for? Even when she speaks, she sounds gentler!"

Shen Yubai helplessly slapped his hand away: "...Why don't you try it next time?"

"Won't the captain slap me?"

"You already know, why are you asking?"
