But now—
Hehe, even if it became more realistic and terrifying, it was uncertain who would be toying with whom.
"What a pitiful fellow,"
"Your eyes were sewn shut by someone. Luckily, you met me, Havier Li, a kind-hearted knight. If you had met Leon, he would definitely have hit you while you were blind. But I'm not that bad."
"So, bear with it for a moment, Garrador. Let me, this helpful knight, untie the threads sewing your eyes shut."
With a mischievous grin, and White Wolf's horrified expression, Javier pulled out his Dog Leg Knife, which he hadn't used in a long time, and lightly cut the sharp blade towards the Claw's sewn eyelids.
The next second!
"Poof—!"
Javier's surgery was incredibly steady and fast. Before the Claw could react, there was a flash of white light, and the sharp blade swiftly sliced across the Claw's eyelids. Blood splattered everywhere as the sewn eyelids were instantly cut open.
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
The pain caused the Claw to let out an angry roar. He felt an intense pain from his eyes. Not being able to see light was already his torment, and now his eyes were being attacked. The Claw felt as if his reverse scale had been touched, and he became enraged to the extreme.
"Crack, crack…"
"Clang, clang…"
The restraining iron frame began to show signs of giving way under the Claw's rage, shaking violently. The chains clanged against the iron frame and the wall, as if they could snap at any moment.
"Awooo, awooo…!"
At this moment,
White Wolf was overcome by an instinctive fear. His legs trembled slightly, and he ignored Javier, the wolf king, rushing towards the door to escape.
Javier, however, wasn't angry watching White Wolf flee. It was already remarkable that this little guy dared to roar a warning at the Claw.
He didn't expect White Wolf to help him attract attention like he did with the Plaga parasite giant. After all, there was no comparison between the two. The giant was too slow, but the Claw was different. Once caught, White Wolf would truly die.
On the contrary, it was a good thing that White Wolf could stay away from him.
Because in that case,
Javier could focus on dealing with the boss without having to worry about White Wolf's safety…
"Hoo, hoo, hoo…"
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
Under intense pain, the Claw slowly and tremblingly opened his long-sealed eyelids, as if a blind person who had been sightless for a long time had regained his vision, shocked and dazed. Even a monster like the Claw showed such a reaction.
Blood slowly flowed down from the corners of his eyes.
Although Javier's knife was fast, it still inevitably injured the eyelids. But even so, the sewn threads were cut. Along with the flowing blood, the Claw completely opened his eyes, revealing the long-hidden yellowish, cloudy, blood-red eyes within.
Because he was infected by the Plaga parasite,
His eyes were bloodshot,
His pupils were incredibly cloudy.
But even so, it couldn't hide the Claw's desire to regain his sight. Three years, three years, do you know how I've lived?
After being implanted with the Plaga parasite and transformed, he couldn't control his body and couldn't suppress the killing intent within him. But even so… he had no complaints.
But Sadler and those people, in order to control him better, actually sewed his eyes shut, binding even his last bit of freedom.
It was simply insane, beyond endurance…
This was the monologue of a poor, weak Claw who had lost his eyesight—
Ahem,
The above was pure nonsense.
But honestly,
When he helped the Claw regain his sight, and seeing the Claw's excited expression, Javier, as the chief surgeon, was very pleased.
He even fantasized that because of his help, the Claw would be very grateful to him and pledge allegiance after being fed a bewitching mushroom, turning into a double agent.
But unfortunately and cruelly,
Imagination is just imagination after all.
The moment a blind person regains their sight, the first thing they throw away is their cane. Javier saw no human gratitude in the Claw's eyes, but rather a murderous glare.
Indeed, a beast is a beast; no matter what you do, you cannot change its nature.
The absurd idea that a simple act of help will make the other party unconditionally repay and be grateful to you should only be fantasized about in dreams—!
After all, this is not a game, but reality.
Moreover, the other party is just a monster, and not all monsters are named Lisa. And he did want to repay him, but this "repayment" actually meant killing him.
"Crack, crack—!"
"Bang… Boom!"
The next second,
Under Javier's unsurprised gaze,
The Claw's skin all over his body began to turn red, and his strong muscles were constantly expanding. With a powerful pull, all the chains binding him snapped, making an extremely loud noise. It was incredibly unbelievable that a monster that had been hungry for so long still had so much strength.
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
The moment he broke free from his restraints,
The Claw let out an excited, low roar, then swung his sharp, heavy, massive hooked Claws and charged rapidly towards Javier. His enormous, strong physique and the speed of his burst were incredibly oppressive, sending shivers down one's spine.
Weak individuals would indeed be instantly frightened by the Claw's ferocity, causing their brains to freeze and their abdomens to be sliced open by the hooked Claws, with their intestines pulled out.
His bloodshot eyes were now bursting with an even more blood-red, ferocious glow.
The Claw, whose eyes were sewn shut and had no vision,
Even if he broke free from the chains, he wouldn't attack the player immediately. As long as you crouch and walk quietly, you can maneuver around him in the vast dungeon, attracting his attention by shaking the hanging chains, and then slowly wear down and attack the weak spot on the Claw's back to clear the stage.
But undoubtedly,
Javier's action of actively cutting open the Claw's eye stitches was an extremely suicidal method. A Claw with vision would constantly pursue and attack Javier, tirelessly and painlessly, completely killing all targets in his sight.
And he would also attack Javier instantly, giving no time to prepare. This completely raised the difficulty of the game.
Some people might ask what the meaning of Javier doing this is.
And Javier's answer was naturally: "Of course, it's to pass it better—!"
Because there's a very serious setting bug in the Claw's boss battle in the game.
That is, flashbangs cannot directly damage the blind, which is the Claw. You must use high-penetration or high-power weapons to hit its back.
After the Exploding Bug inside is exposed, then use a flashbang to cause huge damage to the blind man.
At low difficulty levels, after the Exploding Bug is exposed, it only takes one flashbang to instantly kill the Claw, while at expert level, several flashbangs are needed to defeat him.
This fighting style seems to have no problems,
But it ignores a serious setting: the conflict between reality and virtuality. flashbang, flashbang, flashbang, are all the same thing, but a flashbang is not only about flashing. In reality, there is also a sonic boom. Everyone says the Claw is blind, so how could a flashbang affect him?
Indeed,
This statement is correct,
But the Claw is blind, not deaf; he still has excellent hearing, doesn't he? So why can't a flashbang affect his hearing? This is the so-called setting bug.
After all, this is the real world. While a flashbang has 600W candela of brightness, its intense sonic boom can also destroy eardrums.
So the so-called blind man,
Actually, there's no need to expose the Exploding Bug; one flashbang can solve it. Regardless of whether his eyes are sewn shut or if the Exploding Bug is exposed, the flashbang's sonic boom is enough to rupture his eardrums.
Then he would become blind and deaf, only lacking a sense of smell. If you then throw a pungent smoke bomb, he would truly be a fool who can't call out to heaven or earth, a manual version of "Mirror Flower, Water Moon"! Wouldn't he be easily manipulated?
Javier originally wanted to try this setting bug,
But he thought it would be too boring,
So he simply helped the Claw open his eyes.
Anyway, having eyes or not made no difference to Javier; the flashbang would still be effective.
"Hey, hey…"
"As the chief surgeon, I have the ability to restore your sight, but also the ability to make you lose it again. Given your ingratitude, and even your desire to kill the chief surgeon, then… I shall punish you by making you lose your sight again, and both your vision and hearing will disappear, because punishment is always double!"
"Snap—!"
Facing the Claw's charge,
Javier appeared very calm.
After all, as a novice player, his operations might not be very flashy, but he was very clear about each boss's weaknesses, and having already anticipated various unexpected situations, Javier was even more confident.
While speaking eloquently to the Claw, he had already held a flashbang in his hand and pulled out the pin.
"Shatter! Mirror Flower, Water Moon…"
After an extremely embarrassing display of bravado,
Javier decisively threw the flashbang he had held. The throwing speed was very fast, and the angle was very tricky. After all, Javier was a man with the "Gun Shake Technique" causality and a forgotten basic shooting talent. There was no time to react, and the flashbang immediately hit the Claw's face.
The distance between the two was very close,
Maximizing the effect of the flashbang.
The moment he threw the flashbang, Javier immediately turned and ran, desperately trying to put distance between himself and the blind… no, the idiotic Claw. After all, he couldn't yet ignore the indiscriminate attack effect of the flashbang.
"Clang!"
"Bang… Poof—!!!"
A muffled thud,
White speckles of light suddenly bloomed completely on the idiotic Claw's face, dazzling like a brilliant golden flower. A blinding white light instantly expanded and spread, accompanied by an invisible sonic boom, like a shockwave, fiercely invading and piercing the Claw's eardrums—!
Chapter 42: Shatter, Mirror Flower, Water Moon
The white speckles of light exploded in front of the Claw's eyes. The distance between them was less than half a meter, almost touching his eyes.
The 600W candela brightness exploded, like a rising small white sun, causing the Claw's opened blood-red, cloudy eyes to suddenly twitch violently, his pupils instantly turning white.
Excessive light wildly stimulated the Claw's eyes, and blood vessels were converging towards the pupils. The next second,
The cloudy pupils in the center suddenly turned white, no longer feeling any pain. His eyes instantly lost sensation. Undoubtedly… he was blind again?!
As is well known,
The human eye's ability to adjust is not that quick, nor does it adapt that fast. There have been cases where an ordinary person was kidnapped by bandits and held in a basement for a long time. The basement was dim, and his eyes were also blindfolded, living in dark conditions for extended periods.
Until the police came to rescue him, took him out of the basement to the ground, and quickly removed his blindfold.
His eyeballs suddenly came into contact with dazzling sunlight, causing extreme discomfort, which then led to temporary blindness in the hostage's eyes.
This phenomenon is called light adaptation,
Which is the human eye's reactive adjustment to adapting to strong light environments. But if a person who has been in darkness for a long time is exposed to strong light too quickly without preparation,
It will cause rapid congestion in the eyeballs, leading to temporary blindness because the eyeballs cannot withstand it. In severe cases, it can even cause permanent blindness.
This is most evident in cats.
During the day or in bright conditions, a cat's pupils become vertical slits, but once they enter night or a dark place, their pupils become round. This is the cat's own eye adjustment ability to environmental light.
And if a cat's pupils are still round in bright light, it means the cat's eyes may have a problem and have already become blind.
And now…
For the Claw, who had been in the dim dungeon for a very long time, when he first opened his blind eyes, before adapting, he encountered a strong light of up to 600W candela, equivalent to six hundred candles lit simultaneously on his face. Such an incredibly stimulating strong light,
