The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 43
Chapter 43: From The Light Of The Stars
The sports car drove straight into the ruins zone. Although the ground was covered with ruins, it was not a problem for the sports car nor did it feel particularly bumpy. Let’s just say that Lizi was a really good driver. Of course, it might also be because the skill points were relatively low, so her skill could be even better.
“We’ll be at the old church soon! How does Daocao feel?”
Looking at the map, Juzi showed Lizi the way while he was looking at the rear. In his eyes, everything was normal and there were no pursuers, but in Yu Yi’s eyes, the rear had fallen into darkness. Something was lurking in the air, a looming black atmosphere eroding his brain nerves. Just now, KP rolled a hidden dice. Although Yu Yi’s sanity value did not drop, this scene had already become strange.
Tindalos was coming and was getting closer and closer. Yu Yi did not know that there would be such an omen before the Hound appeared. Perhaps it was added by the game company itself to warn players that the hunter had arrived. From time to time, the distant and near whispers seemed to be eroding the nerves that created troubles for Yu Yi. The barking from afar warned Yu Yi of how far they were. After all, Tindalos was not a real dog, but it was called a Hound because of its hunting behavior.
“Hound, what an uninvited guest.”
However, the time the Hound was in must be very close to this period of time. When hunting, the Hound hunted through a span of time. Generally speaking, it was only through time rifts. When one was observing time and the distant past, one had a very high chance of meeting a Hound. At other times, it was almost impossible to meet a Hound. The characteristic of the Hound was that once it was seen and when it saw others, it would enter its hunting state, no matter how far the time and space.
The tracking of the Hound was related to the time period. If the time between the Hound and the hunter was very far away, then the Hound would pursue it for more than 100 million years a day. The Hound that was chasing Yu Yi was obviously loitering nearby for a while. It might not be a few hours before the Hound was on the road. Obviously, the uninvited guest couldn’t wait to enjoy its prey.
“Here we are!”
The sports car slammed braked near the door of the church ruins. Yu Yi glanced at Lizi and Juzi, then got out of the car and walked towards the church without hesitation, while Juzi and Lizi closed the car door. There was Star Color inside. If they entered hastily, it would obviously be gawking. Yu Yi had a cross on his body. According to the information sent back by Fengye, Star Color had a good chance of not attacking the person carrying a cross. When Star Color was about to attack Yu Yi last time, it suddenly stopped.
The other two were different. There was only one cross, and it was on Yu Yi. Whether or not they could survive if they followed Yu Yi was the question. Moreover, Yu Yi was still in the state of being chased by Hounds. The Hound would arrive soon. If they were there at that time and were seen by it, an SC would occur and then the two of them would also be caught in this struggle with the Hound. The loss outweighed the gain.
“Fengye, you’d better make sure the strategy is right. I don’t want to tear this card.”
Standing at the door of the church, Yu Yi swallowed. How troublesome! Facing the Light of the Stars and so on is a completely unthought situation!
“KP, inspect the church’s interior.”
[. rd = 64. Success.]
Standing at the church door while looking inside, he entered the church from the doorway. Although it was very dark, Yu Yi could see a strange glimmer floating in mid-air and shaking regularly. It floated on the right side of the church, near the corner of the door. With only a glimmer of light, he couldn’t see the whole picture. Despite that, there was no doubt that the smell of ozone in the air had already revealed its identity–the Light of the Stars. The independent race from the superior, Star Color.
Tolerating the irritable sound in his ear, Yu Yi walked into the church. He didn’t use a sneak skill, so he might as well go in directly and aboveboard.
The barking was getting closer and closer.
Yu Yi gently walked to the statue inside the ruins. He raised his head and looked at the vague statue.
“KP, I’m going to inspect this statue.”
What! Look at what the statue looks like! The engraving was taken down by Huahua with a dagger before, but at that time they suddenly smelled the smell of ozone so they hurriedly left. They came back again. Yu Yi didn’t mind dying here first while waiting for the hound. He took a look around to see if there was a new discovery.
[. rd = 94, failed]
With the KP’s sound, the failure let Yu Yi catch his breath. He could not see the statue clearly. He only knew that the statue made him feel very nauseous. I think it was a statue of some big shot, right? Yogg’s? No, Yogg is just a string of bubbles and the statue is not so bad, is it? And it’s not round.
Failure was good. If he succeeded, he would definitely lose sanity value.
[Luck skill check. Failed.]
KP suddenly tossed a hidden dice, and then told Yu Yi that his luck skill check had failed. At that moment, Yu Yi felt something close. Star Color was a perceptual creature, but it looked like a pure color. It was not a gas and there was no physical entity at all. When it moved, it looked like a sparkling, amorphous color flowing around, shining in its pale shadows. The color it emitted was different from any color in the known spectrum. This special color could flow on the ground and fly in the air.
And now, Yu Yi saw the strange color floating.
That floating large piece of color had some amorphous material and temperament. He did not know whether it should be called beautiful or scary.
There was no way to tell whether this was an adult or a juvenile creature. Anyway, it was definitely not the Star Color at the larval stage. The Star Color at the larval stage would invade the ecosystem and absorb the vitality of the land. Only after entering the larva stage would it leave the planet and enter the universe. The Star Color in front of him could float freely in mid-air, so it definitely was not larva.
[Willpower test failed.]
[. rd Inspiration = 41, successful.]
[Sanity value check.]
Yu Yi was still waiting to see the Light of the Stars when KP took the lead in the response. To put it simply, KP began to collect tolls.
[. rd = 33, passed.]
[You had seen this inexplicably scary scene. But perhaps because you had experienced so many things, this kind was not enough to make you afraid.]
Star Color SC, success did not reduce the sanity value. Failure was 1d4, but he could bear it. After all, it was only a mass of color. There were no victims hunted by Star Color, and that was the key. When one saw the victims of the Star Color, even with the success of an SC, one would still lose 1 sanity point. If one failed, it would be 1d8, the kind that would make people crazy if they’re not careful.
All of a sudden, there was a feeling of being burned. At the same time, Yu Yi found that his attribute points had been reduced a bit. Star Color launched an attack on him.
KP didn’t even give a hint of a Willpower resistance! Wow! I was wrong! Sure enough, this guy is also at the level of chaos and evil!
