death gap

Chapter 37 The Clock

After riding a Velociraptor motorcycle and racing all the way, Su Chen calmly took a hot shower before returning to his residence, and then came to the training room to think.

In fact, it doesn’t count as thinking.

Just make a choice.

Because there are only two masks that he can upgrade now - the Mask of Courage and the Mask of Creation.

The repair ability of the Creation Mask is more than enough now, and the main thing is to upgrade the Courage Mask.

It’s all about fighting weirdness.

Su Chen took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then sat down on the floor.

Press your knees with both hands, concentrate your energy on the center of your eyebrows, and calm down.

Gradually, Su Chen's consciousness began to drift, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He had appeared in a familiar space that he had not seen for a long time.

Seven "stars" of different colors shine through the void, emitting a comfortable halo, and the majestic black water waves roll, rippling with powerful fluctuations.

Among the stars, other masks are blurred white images, only the activated Mask of Courage and the Mask of Creation shine brightly.

"I'm back with six hundred tribulations! Upgrade me the Courage Mask!"

As soon as he had this thought, the entire space of consciousness immediately shook. The star belonging to the Courage Mask shone brightly, and the black water rolled and surged up, continuously pouring into the stars high in the sky.

Moisturized by the power of the black water, countless mysterious molten golden lines flowed on the surface of the Courage Mask, and soon it became radiant.

After almost ten seconds, the upgrade was completed.

The surface of the Courage Mask finally calmed down, and its appearance seemed to remain unchanged.

Seeing this situation, Su Chen immediately used his consciousness to communicate with the mask, and the data belonging to the Courage Mask was immediately transferred to his memory.

Mask of God: The Courage to Resist - Phase Two.

Battery life: 30 seconds.

Abilities unlocked at this stage: super strength, super defense, super speed, super senses.

The ability to be unlocked in the next stage: Diamond Wheel·Extreme Dominance Light.

Su Chen compared the previous abilities and found that the upgraded God-like Mask only seemed to have an extra ten seconds of battery life.

Super strength, super defense, super speed, super senses, these abilities are all passive abilities that come with them when they are first activated.

But the next stage looks very powerful, and you can unlock a big move!
"It's almost enough. The battery life has been increased by one-third, but the energy consumption has remained the same. The increase in this upgrade is not small."

Su Chen reluctantly withdrew his senses with satisfaction, and then checked the remaining calamity power.

It was discovered that after upgrading the Mask of Courage, only half of Black Water was left.

Three hundred units were consumed, and there were still three hundred units left.

He planned to keep these three hundred tribulations for the time being, leaving them to recharge in the future, or to use when unlocking the next god-like mask.

Exit consciousness space.

Su Chen opened his eyes, then leaned back and lay directly on the floor.

For the next mask, he was ready to unlock intelligence, because in comparison, this mask was the easiest to unlock.

The activation requirement is enough knowledge. Any knowledge is acceptable, even knowledge that is not needed at all can be used for activation.

This also means that Su Chen has to study hard.

Each mask corresponds to a unique ability, and he believes that wisdom will not let him down.Speaking of which, Su Chen is still on leave from high school in his second year of high school... A year from now, he may have to face the college entrance examination.

Originally, in his life plan, he wanted to practice An Jin before his senior year in high school, and then directly skip the college entrance examination and enter the fighting league to study in a university with related majors.

If there was no intellectual mask, Su Chenzhen would have been prepared to do it step by step, because he had been doing nothing in his previous life and had almost forgotten everything taught in school.

But now we need to unlock our knowledge, so we might as well take the college entrance examination and try it out.

……

Before going to bed, Su Chen tried to contact "Going to the Gap" as usual.

This old man is very low-key now. Since the last time he contacted me, he has not been very active online, and even his mobile phone number cannot be reached.

Although she knew that he probably didn't want to be disturbed, Su Chen still tried to contact him.

Because this old man has information above him.

"Are you there?"

After sending these two words, Su Chen stared at the screen like a licking dog waiting for a reply from a goddess.

This time the other party was actually online and immediately replied:
"Holy crap, why aren't you dead yet?"

"...Did you remember it wrong? I still have dozens of days before I can enter the gap."

"I remember correctly, weren't you being chased by a corpse last time?"

"I'm lucky I didn't die. I want to ask you something."

"For the sake of you being my 999th fan, tell me!"

Seeing that "Going to the Gap" agreed to him, Su Chen immediately asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time:
"After being pulled into the gap, what do you need to pay attention to, and how can you improve your survival rate?"

The head of "Going to the Gap" kept flashing, proving that he was making voice input. It took more than a minute before he sent out two sentences:

"When you are pulled in, your belongings will also be brought in, so prepare more food and water. As for improving the survival rate... first you need to know where the monster is lurking, and then figure out its killing mechanism. The rest It just depends on fate.”

"In addition, the length of each time you enter the gap is different. Once the time is up, you can return to the living world. I remember that there is a mysterious prop called a chime clock, which can calculate the length of each time you enter the gap, but this thing seems to be on the market. Can’t buy it.”

This old man is indeed very honest and tells all the key information.

After Su Chen digested this information, he asked another question:
“Is there an official group for gap victims to exchange information?”

"It seems to have happened before, but because the group members couldn't live long, they were later disbanded by the group leader who had a broken mentality."

"Okay, last question, are you a gap victim too?"

"No, my wife used to be, but she is dead." After saying this sentence, a voice came directly from "walking towards the gap", still the deep uncle's voice:

"I used to research all this like crazy for her... After she died, I got annoyed whenever I saw anything related to the gap. Now I just want to get rid of the nightmare as soon as possible and live a good life with my son."

"I wish you get rid of the nightmare soon." Su Chen shook his head and then exited the chat.

There is no need to disturb the other party anymore, he has already got the information he wants.

First, pulling people in for a while does not mean locking the victim in there forever, and they can return after a certain period of time.

Second, there is a prop called "chime clock" that can calculate the length of time each time the victim enters the gap. It is suspected to be a sealed weapon.

"Sound the clock...Sound the clock..."

Su Chen chewed on this term, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
