Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 56: A state of panic plus three seconds of cardiac arrest
The moment his eyes focused, there were exactly 1.5 seconds left until midnight.

[The Lingering Power of the Lost Monkey King] was activated without hesitation, and a follow-up attack was launched immediately after the 0.5-second effective timer ended.

With precise control and time perception, Chen Baiyu instantly cleared all three of her usage opportunities for the day within 1.5 seconds.

And this is not the end.

As the skill usage opportunities refreshed at midnight, three new usage opportunities followed, adding another 1.5 seconds to the original 1.5-second duration.

This is the end.

After hearing "f*ck you," the thug's unprecedented fear had just reached its peak when he was stunned for three seconds.

This is definitely not a good thing.

Chen Baiyu was well aware of this.

Before they realized what had happened, everyone who was stunned by their own skills would turn pale for a moment and look a little weaker.

He then realized that his skill was far more complex than it initially appeared.

[Additional Skill (Active): The Lingering Power of the Lost Monkey King - Can be used three times daily. Performs a stunning effect on any primate target within 50 meters. If the target's spirit is lower than the caster's, they will immediately be stunned for 0.5 seconds.]

That 0.5-second dizziness and stiffness seems simple.

It is actually quite special.

Chen Baiyu suspected that during the moment of dizziness, the whole body would lose control, including the heart, which might even stop beating briefly, resulting in a lack of blood supply and a weak state.

It's not just a simple matter of cardiac arrest; the entire body's nerve signals and physiological functions may be forcibly cut off in the instant of dizziness.

It's like a machine that suddenly loses power; not only does the engine stop, but the lights and dashboard also go black.

When the power is restored, the machine needs time to restart, and the suspended functions need to gradually resume. That's why the test subjects who were previously shocked were pale and weak—not because of pain, but because the "parts" in their bodies were just recovering from a "shutdown" state.
Following this line of thought, a problem becomes apparent: if the pause time is too long, can it really be restarted?

After all, the skill is only responsible for cutting off the power.

Rebooting is a matter for the body itself.

Sometimes, cardiac arrest in heart patients requires electrical shock to restart the heart. But what if the cardiac arrest lasted longer than 0.5 seconds?
Could it cause cardiac arrest and prevent the heart from restarting?

if you can.

So this skill, which was originally only used to silence and interrupt others' actions, and at most to cause them to crash when they are moving at high speed, may actually be a divine skill that can kill people invisibly!

Chen Baiyu had always suspected this idea, but had never had the opportunity to verify it.

But at the moment.

There is indeed an opportunity.

As Chen Baiyu pondered, he kept his eyes fixed on the ready-made experimental subject on the ground.

After releasing the [Lost Monkey King's Lingering Power] skill for a full three seconds at the right time, he kept observing the state of the thug in front of him.

Three seconds stretched out endlessly in the quiet room.

Chen Baiyu's hearing was already beyond that of ordinary people.

He captured it clearly.

The moment the skill took effect, the rapid heartbeat in the rascal's chest suddenly stopped, like a thread being cut by scissors, and his heavy breathing also disappeared.

The thug maintained his posture of looking up and cursing, his bloodshot eyes wide with terror, his pupils already dilating rapidly.

The color drained from his face at a visible rate.

From the tip of his nose to the base of his ears, he instantly turned as white as paper.

The next second, the hoodlum's body began to convulse uncontrollably.

It wasn't a violent tremor, but a subtle, stiff quiver; his fingers curled into claw-like shapes, his mouth uncontrollably tilted to one side, and saliva dripped down his chin onto the cold corpse of the wolfhound.

Chen Baiyu could see him swallowing, but he couldn't make any sound, only a "hoarse" sound of air leaking from his throat, like a bellows with a hole.

The skill effect ends in the third second.

According to Chen Baiyu's previous guess, this should be the time for "rebooting".

But the hoodlum's chest remained flat, and his heartbeat seemed to be submerged in the deep sea, failing to return to normal for a long time.

His eyes were still open, but they were unfocused.

Fear froze in his pupils; even blinking stopped. "Didn't it restart?"

Chen Baiyu raised her eyebrows slightly.

He took a step forward and squatted down.

The moment my fingertips touched the hoodlum's carotid artery, I felt the skin there begin to cool down, and there was no pulse at all. When I touched his chest, through his sweat-soaked clothes, I could feel the outline of his ribs, but I couldn't feel the force of his heart contracting.

Just then, the hoodlum suddenly made a move.

After the skill ends.

Most bodily functions were restarted, and consciousness immediately returned from the blackout.

But his heart stopped beating.

He opened his mouth wide as if trying to inhale air, but his chest only heaved in vain, without taking in any oxygen, which instead triggered a violent cough.

The cough aggravated the wound on his broken leg, and he curled up in pain.

His body was curled up like a shrimp, and cold sweat soaked through the clothes on his back.

It adheres to the skin, outlining a trembling silhouette.

"Heart...heart..."

"It hurts... I can't breathe..."

The thug finally managed to squeeze out a few broken words, his voice hoarse like sandpaper scraping, his hands gripping his chest so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

Chen Baiyu looked at him calmly.

The thug's face had turned from deathly pale to bluish-purple, his lips were frighteningly black, and his breathing was becoming shallower and shallower, with each inhale accompanied by a sharp throat gurgling.

This is not weakness after a "reboot," but rather symptoms of acute heart failure caused by prolonged cardiac arrest, resulting in myocardial cell hypoxia and necrosis.

The thug struggled to reach the phone Chen Baiyu was holding, but his hand fell heavily back to the ground as soon as it was halfway up.

His vision began to blur, and the sounds of games and music faded into the distance, leaving only his increasingly faint breathing.

And Chen Baiyu's cold eyes, as if she were looking at something insignificant.

"help me……"

"I'll give you money... a lot of money... please don't let me die..."

He finally dropped all his arrogance, his voice filled with pleading, tears streaming down his face along with blood from his nose.

The touch on his fingertips grew colder and colder, the thug's struggles weakened, and the rise and fall of his chest went from rapid to faint, until it finally stopped completely.

Only the occasional whistling sounds from his throat proved that he was still clinging to his last breath.

"So it really can fail to restart."

Chen Baiyu murmured softly, her tone devoid of surprise, only showing a calmness that came after her suspicions had been confirmed.

People with good physical health can get through this and will most likely be able to restart successfully, but the thug in front of them doesn't seem to have succeeded.

While thinking.

Having confirmed his suspicions, he didn't rush to leave. Instead, he quietly watched as the hoodlum's last breath vanished, and he died completely.

Cardiac arrest does not mean immediate death.

If someone performs chest compressions or electric shocks at this time, these external forces may help the heart start beating again.

only.

Chen Baiyu won't do that. If you can't make it through, then it's your own fault.

After seeing that the thug was completely dead.

Chen Baiyu stood up and glanced at the time.

12:08.

The thug's body was completely still, his eyes were still open but without any life, and there was saliva and blood left at the corner of his mouth. He looked disheveled and miserable.

The wolfhound's carcass was still on top of him, its cold fur clinging to his gradually cooling skin.
