[Quality: Cursed Object]
[Cursed]: Can link to the heart of a designated target but requires a large amount of fresh blood daily for nourishnt.
[Description]: Every part of a powerful Faceless being carries a curse, especially their heart. Once you hear your own heartbeat, be cautious, because it might no longer be your own heart...
Lynn: "!!!"
The old woman chuckled darkly and sinisterly: "If you want soone to die, just think about them in your heart, then use your most malicious thods to deal with this heart. You will gain great pleasure, heh heh—"
Lynn imdiately felt chills down his spine.
There really weren’t many ordinary things about this old woman.
Judging by the effect, this heart was definitely a deadly weapon.
However, inevitably, the cost of using it must be enormous.
Soon, the old woman pulled the cart and slowly disappeared into the black mist ahead.
Watching the old woman leave, Lynn looked at the beating heart in his hand with a strange expression. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelfire(.)net
His bizarre collection was indeed growing more and more.
But this trade was definitely not a loss.
This scavenger passed by the shop every morning and was undoubtedly a friendly NPC who could reliably exchange various items!
When the weekly delivery monsters arrived, Lynn paid a large number of Skeleton Coins and restocked the shop’s warehouse.
Calculating the ti, his teacher was due to return tonight or possibly tomorrow.
Returning to the counter, Lynn quietly awaited the first custor of the day.
Outside, the black mist surged.
At that mont,
Knock knock knock—
Three knocks ca at the door.
Lynn imdiately raised his head, wearing a professional smile, and said:
"Welco..."
The soul lamp hanging on the doorfra flickered violently.
Lynn’s pupils contracted sharply.
Such intense flickering indicated the visitor’s level was definitely not low.
Outside the door,
A woman in a dazzling red evening gown smiled as she stood on the threshold. Wavy curls spilled down her back. She was a captivating woman who seed to drain you just by a glance.
"Boss, may business flourish."
[Blood-Robed Evil Spirit]
[Level]: ???
[Faction]: Chaotic Evil
[Combat Ability]: She will hollow you out bit by bit.
[Description]: A twisted conglorate wandering the dark world. Never be lured by their beautiful figure, or a nightmare awaits...
Lynn’s mind flashed the woman’s status panel.
She was holding a covered tray, from which faint aromas of at wafted.
Lynn heightened his vigilance but kept his face calm and said:
"Hello, may I ask if you’re feeling unwell and need treatnt?"
The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit smiled brilliantly. Her bright red lips parted to reveal a row of white, sowhat sinister teeth, giving an indescribably eerie feeling.
She flipped her curls seductively, full of charm, and said softly:
"I'm not unwell. I just moved to this street this morning, so I wanted to visit my neighbors. You shouldn’t... be unwelcoming to , right?"
She lightly licked her red lips.
[Lynn SAN -1]
Lynn knew very well that in this dark world, the more normal the monster looked, the more dangerous it was.
This woman obviously radiated a very ominous aura.
"Of course you’re welco!" Lynn’s smile did not waver.
At the sa ti, he secretly placed his revolver and the heart under the counter where he could grab them easily.
"Please co in. The Bloodsaw Potion Shop welcos any friendly neighbor."
For such monsters with no obvious level, the soul lamp outside was basically ineffective.
If she ca with ill intent, no matter how you tried to stop her, it would be impossible.
The woman smiled widely and gracefully stepped inside.
Almost at the sa ti, Lynn’s ears were filled with a system notification.
[Ding! You have triggered the mission: Survive.]
[Mission Objective: Maintain your SAN above zero before the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit’s hostility toward you reaches 100%. Ensure her hostility does not reach 100%. Last for 30 minutes.]
[Mission Reward: 500 Skeleton Coins, 200 base experience, Special reward 1]
Lynn’s heart tightened instantly.
As expected.
This evil spirit was hostile.
And the mission triggered was the terrifying “Survive,” indicating the crisis was on par with last night’s.
He was very clear that if he did nothing last night, the Head Hunter would have devoured all the residents of Wandering Souls Alley. It was a massive crisis.
What about this woman?
She didn’t seem like an Origin-Level Monster, but if she wanted to kill him, it would naturally be effortless.
"Boss, you don’t look like a native here."
The woman gracefully sat on the stool in front of the counter, resting her chin on the back of her hand, smiling softly, and gazing at Lynn with infinite charm.
"Aren’t you afraid of being eaten by so unfriendly custors?"
One of her fingers lightly traced across Lynn’s chest.
Extrely seductive.
[Lynn SAN -10]
But Lynn quickly composed himself.
Wearing a professional smile, he swiftly raised the boning knife left by his teacher and said with a smile:
"I’m a bit afraid, but a doctor’s duty is to heal and save lives. No matter how scared I am, as long as they are my custors, I treat them seriously. That’s the principle of being a doctor."
[Ding! Current crisis level 51%]
The woman blinked coquettishly, exhaling like a breeze of orchids, and said:
"How interesting. What if you’re not my custor?"
"What if... I want to eat you?"
She gently blew a breath on Lynn, as if whispering softly in his ear.
[Ding! Current crisis level 61%]
Lynn remained calm, smiling, and said seriously:
"Impossible. Sister, you’re so beautiful; your heart must be as lovely as your appearance. A beautiful and elegant lady like you would surely dine with the grace and dignity of nobility."
[Ding! Current crisis level 56%]
"Such a smooth talker."
The woman smiled seductively, lightly tracing her lips with her finger, and said: "Do you really think I’m beautiful?"
"Of course!"
"Then, do you still think I’m beautiful now?"
At that mont, under Lynn’s gaze, the woman’s face slowly cracked open down the middle.
She still wore a smile.
From the bloody flesh fissure, a row of sharp inverted teeth slowly grew out. One by one, thick, foul-slling tentacles squeezed through the cracked face.
At the sa ti, a heavy stench of decay and blood spilled from her body.
[Lynn SAN -30!]
"Do you still think I’m beautiful now?"
From the fissure on the sinister face ca sticky, chilling laughter.
[Ding! Current crisis level 81%]
[Ding! Current crisis level 85%]
[Ding! Current crisis level 90%]
Slowly, as the crisis level rose sharply, the cracked-faced ghost woman approached Lynn’s face bit by bit.
The sticky, hoarse voice grew closer and closer.
"Am... I really beautiful?"
Gradually, that terrifying visage was less than five centiters from Lynn’s face. The sticky tentacles and sharp inverted teeth nearly enveloped him.
At this critical mont,
Mua~~
Lynn kissed her.
