Chapter 712: 420, Tail Ring and Departure

“What do you want to do for you?” Qing Chen asked.

Abby said, “I know promises are useless with you, so I hope to tell you the conditions for its containnt after you help with the last task.”

Qing Chen asked, “Do you think you have the right to negotiate with ?”

Abby retorted, “Do you dare to try it out slowly on your own?”

Qing Chen laughed. He had searched online for a long ti and found no information about the taboo held by Capri.

Due to the taboo being originated in North Arica, Qing Chen couldn’t return to the Inner World to find information related to it either, as there was no exchange of information between the continents.

So, if Qing Chen didn’t want to go back to China and figure it out slowly, it was better to clarify everything before his trip to Europe ended.

Figuring out a taboo item sotis takes generations to uncover just a smidgen of its rules.

It could even cost one’s life to test it out.

Knowing who it originated from was sowhat better. Generally, taboo items would erge at the burial site of a deceased Transcendent, and there would be so anomalies before their ergence.

If one knew whose tomb it was, it could be deduced based on the deceased’s preferences.

For instance, the taboo item ACE-005 Da Fu, Uncle Li Dong said it erged from a cat lover. That Transcendent had a total of seven famous cats, so the first holder figured out its containnt condition and usage thod within a month.

As for the Puppeteer, it appeared very early on, but at that ti, no one knew its use.

Everyone only knew it was a taboo item, but for hundreds of years, no one figured out its purpose or containnt condition.

So used it as a fishing line, others as a clothesline, who would have thought it needed one to wrap it around the wrists of the host and an enemy?

So gay.

Qing Chen couldn’t imagine how the first host who discovered its use had done so…

And because of its nature, it was particularly taxing on the host.

The complete containnt rule for the Puppeteer was to sacrifice a group of people every month, and if the ritual failed, the number of sacrifices needed to double next ti.

If it reached the ninth ti without success, it would sacrifice the host…

On average, sacrificing a host every nine months, who could endure that? It was even faster than the cycle of reincarnation.

It is estimated that the Puppeteer had killed over thirty hosts, making it the most wasteful of hosts in the history of taboo items.

There are several taboo items similar to the Puppeteer.

Like the Correct Gold Coin, if it’s asked a question and given an answer but not fed a gold bar, it would cause the host to beco blind and deaf for seven days.

Then there’s the taboo item ACE-038 “The End of Secrets”, which allows the host to disclose a secret about themselves that nobody else knows, in exchange for soone else’s secret.

But if the host tells the taboo item a secret that they believe no one else knows, yet soone actually does, then they will lose 4,999 strands of hair.

The hosts of taboo item ACE-038 have always been bald.

So, taboo items have always been a double-edged sword.

Now, Qing Chen didn’t know the containnt condition for the Tail Ring or what consequences would arise from containing it incorrectly.

If he inadvertently touched so backfiring rule during his attempts, it could cause major problems.

Even if Abby and Capri were willing to disclose the function and containnt condition of the taboo item, Qing Chen would have to test it on soone else before daring to use it himself.

For example, nobody still knows what the containnt condition is for the taboo item ACE-089 Hunter of Praise held by the Contraindicated courts; they can only temporarily seal it in a tal box.

This thing, once it hears a song, will chase the singer to the ends of the earth.

If Capri’s item is similar to the Hunter of Praise, and Abby tells Qing Chen that the containnt condition is to sing, then Qing Chen would be in deep trouble.

But he needed a reference point.

Perhaps this was Abby’s confidence. He was certain Qing Chen didn’t want to try slowly, so he confidently laid out his conditions.

However, Qing Chen wasn’t worried. As long as soone was willing to speak, things would be easy to handle.

Abby wasn’t the only one who knew the use and containnt conditions of the Tail Ring.

Too many humans have died because of an old saying, “It’s not scarcity that troubles them, but unfairness.”

Strategies like “Killing three warriors with two peaches” have been overused by the Chinese.

He restrained Abby from speaking, then looked at Capri with a smile, saying, “You’re unwilling to speak, but soone else is. It’s your taboo item, yet he cos to with conditions. If I were you, I couldn’t stand to listen! Can you tolerate him?! Here’s my offer, it’s the sa: Tell the function of the taboo, and I’ll take care of the last thing you wanted done in life.”

Qing Chen glanced at Abby with a smile, wondering what sort of person the real powerholder back in North Arica was, if soone like him could beco the third-ranked person in the Europe Branch in the future.

Capri, sensing his restraints were released, gave Abby a cold glance, then told Qing Chen, “You delete all the private ssages on my social dia and erase everything in my cloud storage, and I’ll tell you.”

Qing Chen: “…”

Abby: “…”

Qing Chen remarked, “You truly aren’t afraid to perish completely, but insist on leaving a clean reputation in this world. That the last thing you’d ask of is to help you destroy evidence of social death, such noble character, is truly touching.”
