Chapter 050: Qualifications to Fight the Devil
Fang Ling spoke very carefully. After he evaluated Flora, he changed the subject and mentioned Su Ming.
"Minister Sylvie, you are an incredible newcomer. I have never seen anyone sink so slowly."
Sylvie glanced at Fang Ling and said nothing.
The reason why the limit of fear is the most important qualification for fighting against demons is that people who fear demons cannot harm them. The more you fear demons, the less damage you will cause to them.
Even if your punch has the power of a nuclear bomb, if you are very afraid of the devil, you can only inflict 1% of the damage, and your punch may only scratch the opponent's skin.
The devil is such an unreasonable existence. No matter how strong a person is, he will not have a 100% chance of winning in front of him. Only those who have overcome fear are qualified to fight against him.
The facility used to test this qualification is the Staircase of Fear.
In the test of fear of stairs, the two most important data are sinking speed and maximum depth.
The sinking speed represents the speed at which a person's combat effectiveness decreases when facing a demon. The faster you sink in the Stairs of Fear, the faster your combat effectiveness decreases when facing a demon.
The limit of fear represents how much fighting power a person can exert when he is extremely afraid, and it also determines the ultimate strength of the demon that person can fight.
Those with deeper limits can stand their ground against stronger demons.
"Sylvie, how many meters deep are you?" Zhang Tianxiao suddenly asked.
"Two hundred and sixty meters."
"Ten meters deeper than me." Zhang Tianxiao muttered to himself, "I wonder how deep these two can reach in the end."
Fang Ling: "It should be not bad. Su Ming cannot predict the depth yet, but from his sinking speed we can tell that the depth should not be shallow.
Although Flora sank very quickly, by observing her mental changes, it can be concluded that she is still in the second stage, which means... her depth should be around 150 meters.
I have to say that Su Ming is really calm. He was able to interrogate his partner in this situation. I remember the last person who did this was Jiang Yichuan, right? "
"That's right. Being able to behave correctly even under the influence of extreme emotions is a quality That kid has natural talent."
Sylvie deliberately glanced at Zhang Tianxiao, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Perhaps, she had two more geniuses in her special attack unit.
Generally speaking, if the depth reaches 80 meters, one is qualified to fight against demons. If the depth exceeds 150 meters, the strength will hardly be reduced when facing demons that have not evolved to the second level.
And if the depth can reach 200 meters, then even when facing a second-level demon, the combat effectiveness will hardly decrease.
In the Seventh Investigation Bureau of Dongyang Island, there are no more than twenty people whose fear depth reaches 200 meters, and no more than ten people whose fear depth exceeds 250 meters.
These people include those who have died. If we remove the dead and those with weak abilities, there are only a few who can be of use.
If Flora and Su Ming can both reach a depth of 150 meters, then Investigation Bureau 7 will become the absolute main force in fighting against the monsters on Dongyang Island.
Because their abilities are already strong enough, what they lack is... the qualification to face the devil directly.
…
At this moment, Su Ming, who was in the Stairs of Fear, was completely unaware that many people were watching his actions.
His thinking is now very clear. He studies the patterns of the stairs, tries to find loopholes in the patterns, exploits them and improves his performance.
Although there may not be loopholes to follow, necessary attempts are necessary, which is also mentioned in the online course.
Oh, right! Xia Xiaoyu!
He can now cooperate with Xia Xiaoyu!
Where is Xia Xiaoyu?
Su Ming looked behind him and found Xia Xiaoyu squatting quietly on the steps behind him, holding a rectangular box in her hand.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm recording ." Xia Xiaoyu shook the box in her hand. "I recorded your entire conversation just now. Maybe we'll encounter this situation in the future, and this recording will come in handy then."
Su Ming was surprised. Xia Xiaoyu's idea was the same as his, but his idea was more specific.
"Xiaoyu, you should have brought paper and pen, right?"
"Um."
"Take out four sheets of paper and write down all our current thoughts, why we came here, what our current relationship is, and the changes that have taken place in Flora. Write all of this down, make two copies, keep one for yourself, and give the other one to the other party." Su Ming said.
The two of them started to act immediately, and soon all the information was recorded.
Now , Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu each have two pieces of paper, one written by themselves and the other written by the other.
If either Xia Xiaoyu or Su Mingzhong develops Flora's symptoms in the future, they can use this handwritten paper to wake the other up.
Although Su Ming felt that this folk method was unlikely to work, since there was a chance of success, he had to prepare in advance.
"Su Ming, should we go downstairs? Alice is calling us, she is very scared." Flora kept urging him.
"We're ready. Let's go down and find Alice." Su Ming said casually.
He helped Flora up, and Su Ming touched her arm. Her arm was cold and her skin was covered with cold sweat.
The three people continued to move forward, and their speed slowed down a lot because Flora walked slower. She was always restless and would occasionally stop and ask Su Ming to stop as well.
At this time, she would move closer to the railing and listen attentively to the call coming from the darkness, but Su Ming could not hear this call at all.
Su Ming asked Xia Xiaoyu, and Xia Xiaoyu could also hear the intermittent and vague calling. Although it was much clearer than at the beginning, she still could not hear the voice clearly.
Su Ming believed that this calling sound was most likely determined by the degree of fear of the person involved. The more deeply a person was in fear, the clearer he could hear the sound.
Now Flora could hear it most clearly, Xia Xiaoyu could vaguely hear it, but he could not hear it at all.
If nothing unexpected happens, the next person to show symptoms like Flora will be Xia Xiaoyu, and then him.
"Flora, can we go now?"
Su Ming turned his head to look at Flora who was standing by the railing and listening. She had a sad expression on her face, like a mother who had lost her beloved son.
Oh, forget it, she now feels like she is.
Hearing Su Ming's question, Flora nodded slightly as if in a daze, and quickened her pace to walk downstairs.
"Alice is calling us! She heard us, too! She's yelling for us to get down! We have to hurry!"
Su Ming hurriedly followed Flora's footsteps. For some reason, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Flora, pulling her back.
"What for?" Flora asked in a daze, as if she didn't understand why Su Ming suddenly pulled her.
