I’m Really Scared
Chapter 220: Avoiding Door Traps

If faced with an enemy with extremely high health, there would always be a way to utilize a mechanism to kill it.

This was a design rule followed by both horror games and regular games.

The Horror Game Simulator was no exception.

When encountering the massive apartment monster previously, Guan Shan had understood this principle.

Although it seemed to have a lot of health, most of it didn't need to be manually taken down. By finding its weak point, core, or using other items, the monster's actual difficulty remained within a reasonable range.

This was why Guan Shan wasn't overly panicked when he saw the whale with 200,000 health in front of him.

"According to the current monster spawning mechanism of the simulator, low health and high-level monsters are the truly terrifying ones. The higher the health, the more stable it is."

Guan Shan knew that the simulator would not set up an unavoidable death scenario.

In games, once the mechanism was understood, everything could be resolved.

The balance between a monster's level and health was typically maintained. With Guan Shan as a reference, his current 20th-level health was just over 10,000, similar to Tao Luo at level 10, but his attack and defense attributes, along with items, could now easily kill ten Tao Luo.

Therefore, encountering a low-health monster at this level meant its attack and defense attributes would be several times or even dozens of times higher than ordinary monsters.

That was the real danger.

Upon seeing the massive whale and its corresponding information, Guan Shan began thinking about how to deal with it.

Weak point? Couldn't see it.

Mechanism? Unknown.

Item? Well, that could work!

This creature didn't seem very intelligent, and the recently acquired [Blindfolded Doll] from the Lucky Pot seemed like a suitable item.

Who said cursed items had to be used personally?

Typically, doing it yourself was for revenge, but Guan Shan had no grudge against this whale. He just wanted to kill it!

Thus, having it kill itself was the best choice!

The whale's body disintegrated mid-air, contributing 40,000 experience points.

Guan Shan's shared vision with the whale ended, and he couldn't help but smirk, "As expected... experience points for mechanism-based monsters are significantly reduced."

Although this was already comparable to a regular boss, it was still paltry compared to its 200,000 health.

At this point, Guan Shan's [Secret Behind the Door] skill duration ended, and his figure reappeared beside the iron gate.

As soon as the cooldown ended, he fully activated [Gravity Control] and flew towards the three-story building.

"Whoosh—"

The approaching blood was pushed aside, like Moses parting the sea, dividing the blood-red ocean along Guan Shan's path.

Meanwhile, the tendrils entangling 47 and the Shadow Clone didn't disintegrate like the whale but noticeably weakened, their surfaces wrinkling as if they lost much of their vitality.

The rabbits seemed to sense this and took the opportunity to pounce, laughing maniacally and biting the tendrils, turning 47 and the Shadow Clone into mere side characters.

But Guan Shan wasn't idle. He immediately had 47 and the Shadow Clone finish off the weakened enemies.

Whoever was winning, they would strike!

After a while, eyes began to sprout on the tendrils.

These weren't naturally grown like on the whale, but rather forced open wounds from which malevolent parasites peeked out, wrapped in thick black smoke, struggling to spread outward.

“Pop! Pop! Pop! ...”

More and more eyes appeared, eventually covering every tendril, blood flowing from the wounds over the eyes, leaving no gaps.

Guan Shan understood at a glance, "The doll's curse has taken effect!"

Whoever killed the doll would bear its resentment.

The whale killed the doll, so it had to bear the consequences.

With the whale dead, the tendrils had to bear it.

The tendrils initially struggled, trying to crush the eyes, but soon stiffened, leaving only the writhing eyes.

At a certain point, the eyes all froze, then exploded...

“Boom!”

The tendrils disintegrated into powder, revealing their hollow centers, filled with eyes, nothing of themselves remaining...

[Experience +8000]

[Experience +6000]

[Experience +7000]

[Experience +9000]

[Experience +10000]

[Experience +8000]

…

Guan Shan watched a flood of experience points appear before him, totaling over 100,000 from the tendrils and rabbits combined!

Instead of being happy, Guan Shan felt a sinking sensation.

The strength and experience of breakthrough mission monsters indicated the attributes of the main monsters he would face next.

Clearing elite monsters had already yielded 100,000 experience points... equivalent to all the experience he accumulated from level 10 to 20!

This implied that from level 20 to 30, the experience gradient might be 100,000 per level!

Monsters above level 15 had an average experience value of 6,000 to 8,000, equivalent to top-tier C-level Espers.

So, if he relied on killing low-level monsters, he would need to kill ten C-level Espers to level up once.

With Youhao Team as a reference, they only had three C-level or higher Espers!

The thought alone made Guan Shan's scalp tingle.

This was only level 20... how would he level up in the future? The only path was to kill bosses, making him a complete combat maniac in others' eyes.

But only Guan Shan knew, he was forced into this... if he didn't kill monsters, he couldn't level up. Without leveling up, he couldn't beat the monsters. If he couldn't beat the monsters, he would die!

"Huff... there's no use thinking about it now. Let's complete the breakthrough mission first. Who knows where the simulator has sent me this time. Luckily, I remembered to wear a mask, so they shouldn't trace my identity."

Guan Shan touched the Mask of Agony on his face, smirking.

Ahead was the entrance to the three-story building.

Guan Shan stopped.

47 and the Shadow Clone joined him.

The note at the beginning mentioned encountering elephants and rabbits, leaving only the aquarium.

Therefore, the boss must be in the aquarium!

Guan Shan switched back to the Demon Blade, approaching the flashing aquarium sign and the seemingly peaceful iron gate, hesitated, then kicked the door open.

100!

A damage value popped up from behind the door.

Guan Shan remained expressionless, "It's not a proper door without a door trap!"

Avoid door traps by kicking the door!
