Chapter 2192: More and More Like a Person
“Eat.” Jiang Chen handed Ning Shu a bowl of light noodles with a fried egg at the bottom.
Jiang Chen was becoming more and more like a person.
Ning Shu ate the noodles and then lay down to rest. As soon as she lay down, 2333’s voice sounded in her mind. “Task complete. Do you wish to leave the task world?”
“Yes.”
Ning Shu closed her eyes at the sudden dizziness. When she opened them again, she was back in the system s.p.a.ce.
“W-wha…” Ning Shu’s eyes widened as she stared at the system s.p.a.ce.
Everything was gone. It looked the same as when she’d first entered the system s.p.a.ce.
There was no sofa, bookshelf, bed, or potted plants. There was nothing at all.
“Where’s all the stuff?” Ning Shu asked. She looked around and saw a black hole about the size of a grapefruit.
…Those two pearls.
“It was all sucked away. It’s good enough that the system s.p.a.ce survived,” 2333 said.
“…It’s good enough.” Ning Shu was thankful that she’d put the Unsurpa.s.sable Martial Arts book in the system inventory and it wasn’t sucked away.
The Unsurpa.s.sable Martial Arts was her main hope for constructing her own world. If she lost it, Ning Shu would definitely cry herself blind.
After experiencing two worlds without returning to the system s.p.a.ce, Ning Shu’s soul was a little dim. She sat cross-legged on the ground to absorb the pure soul power.
After a while, Ning Shu said, “I want to receive the storyline of the previous world.”
“Okay.”
The story went as Ning Shu guessed. Fang Lanxin had been sacrificed and her soul had been trapped in the life-death bell.
The bell stole Fang Lanxin’s soul power, soul origin, luck, and merit. It basically deprived her of everything.
Chains were fastened around her feet and there was no light or sound. She was completely alone.
The iron chains constantly drew out Fang Lanxin’s soul power and the pain was like boiling oil being poured over a thousand cuts.
The more pain one endured, the stronger one’s soul power became. Fang Lanxin felt that she had gone through every torture imaginable.
She experienced countless cycles of pain.
To sacrifice the person closest to him, Gu Rui married Fang Lanxin. The closer he was to the sacrificed person, the more he could control the life-death bell and the safer it was for the user.
After this pain and despair, Fang Lanxin sacrificed her soul to counterattack.
Sure enough, this was the plot. Ning Shu’s guess had been pretty accurate.
Ning Shu opened her stats panel and looked at what she gained from the last task.
