Regarding the Unknown Horror in Florida, she had read relevant reports. According to the records, in Florida, once humans approach, they experience various fears, unable to distinguish whether the terror before them is real or illusory. The closer one gets, the more intense the fear becomes. To establish a connection with the Anomalous Entity, the primary condition is to make contact with it. If one cannot even get close, how can they establish a connection?
You are quite lucky; you have encountered another Horror. Zhang Yinlin smiled, her previously heavy heart from the events in Hu Family Village lightening considerably at that moment. If I remember correctly, besides the Horror in Florida, someone has discovered a second Horror, and you happened to come across it. Perhaps you checked the almanac before heading out, Yelai joked.
Zhang Yinlin chuckled, but her eyes reflected a sense of nostalgia. From now on, who would dare say you are unworthy of Zhenxue? With the Sequence Horror, she knew instinctively that Yelai's future would not be any less promising than Luo Zhenxue's from Crimson Key. You always said you wanted to fight alongside Zhenxue; now you've achieved that. In dealing with the Li Family, you can confront them together with Zhenxue.
In a good mood, she made a rare joke towards the end. Hehe, your newfound strength will surely be a terrifying surprise for the Li Family—cough, cough.
Yinlin, what's wrong with you? Yelai patted Zhang Yinlin on the back.
Nothing, just got a bit too excited; I just paid the price for my actions earlier. After taking a breath to calm herself, Zhang Yinlin explained. No matter which Sequencer it is, as long as they have used Sequence, they must pay a price; Yelai is no exception, and neither is Zhang Yinlin. In Hu Family Village, she had used Sequence and naturally had to pay a considerable price for it.
Watching her cough, Yelai couldn't help but furrow his brows, looking serious.
"Yinlin, you should use Sequence less in the future."
"I haven't. I just need a few days to recuperate."
Yelai's concern was evident. "What you're experiencing is clearly the side effects of the price you've paid. It's already starting to affect your health."
No matter if it was before or after the Sequence Element appeared, Sequencers either died from Anomalous Entities, from paying the price of Sequence, or from the side effects of that price. None of them had a good ending.
It was like the fate of a Sequencer.
In Yelai's eyes, he and Luo Zhenxue were indeed lifesavers for Zhang Yinlin. They had never cared about such things and had always treated Zhang Yinlin like a sister.
With Zhang Yinlin showing signs of Cost of Payment Side Effects, how could Yelai not be worried?
"It's not as serious as you say. I just overused Sequence for a moment and paid too high a price, so my body couldn't handle it all at once."
Zhang Yinlin offered a smile. "I'll take care of myself; my body will recover. There's no need to worry about the side effects for now. But you..."
She turned to look at Yelai with concern.
"Your Sequence is Fear. Even if the price is small, the side effects can be significant. You should be the one to pay attention."
There's no such thing as a free lunch; this is an unchanging law.
This also applies to Sequencers and Anomalous Entities.
The connection established between Anomalous Entities and humans isn't a free lunch; it's a transaction where humans exchange something to gain Sequence, while Anomalous Entities also extract something from humans in return.
As for what they extract...
Human lives are always the favorite of Anomalous Entities.
