Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 31 Corner
……

Cold and dark, as if something was dragging his body bit by bit.

Fragments of memory began to emerge, the vines attacking the mountain, the assessment, the Twelve Ghost Moons...pictures began to flash through his mind.

Finally, all the images were fixed on the warning composed of cold light blue text, and then, memories accompanied by unimaginable pain began to rush out of his mind.

“Hoo…ho, ho!”

Xin Lailai suddenly woke up, breathing heavily, her pupils contracted and expanded unnaturally, and her pale face showed the remaining fear.

"I'm alive?"

It took several minutes for Xin Lailai to finally react. He touched his chest and felt the beating from his heart. He was startled, with a dazed look in his eyes.

"And, my hands..."

Xin Lailai looked to his right side and saw that the right arm that was supposed to be chopped off by himself in the image was still intact on his body for some reason, as if the scene in his memory was just an illusion.

Xin Lailai tried to raise his right hand, and a strong tingling sensation suddenly came from his right arm.

"Human, I advise you not to move around now. The inner parts of your arms probably haven't fully grown yet."

A cold and childish voice came from the side. Xin Lailai turned around suddenly and her pupils shrank slightly.

I saw a streak of white hair and red eyes, a pair of small sharp horns on his forehead, wearing a black and red kimono with white animal fur embellishments, a petite figure standing behind him, watching him quietly.

At the end of the string, there are only a few remaining pieces.

The moment he saw Ling Yuzi, Xin Lailai instinctively prepared to take a defensive stance, but before he could stand up, a strong feeling of weakness suddenly hit him, followed closely by an extremely strong feeling of hunger. .

so hungry...

So hungry, so hungry, so hungry!

"Oh, it doesn't seem right to call you human now."

Ling Yuzi looked at Xin Lailai and said indifferently:
"After all, you are a ghost now."

"Roar!"

What she responded to was an irrational roar. Xin Lailai, who looked calm a second ago, was now like a crazy beast, with red eyes roaring.

Seeing Xin Lailai's appearance, Ling Yuzi's eyelids drooped slightly. She threw her arm, and something was suddenly thrown out of the dark shadows on the side.

The pungent smell of blood suddenly filled the air.

Xin Lailai, whose eyes were red, was stunned for a moment, and then he crawled desperately towards the thing thrown by Ling Yuzi - a corpse with half of its bones and extra internal organs still left.

The muddy sound of chewing quickly sounded, and a disgusting devouring process was staged in the cave. It took half an hour for the eating to gradually subside.

……

After half an hour.

In the cave, Xin Lailai, covered in blood, sat on the stone bed without saying a word.

After a long silence, Xin Lailai spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you."

A look of surprise flashed through Ling Yuzi's eyes. She did not expect that the other party's first words were neither a complaint nor an outpouring of anger, but a thank you.

"I'm not ungrateful enough to speak ill of someone who saved me twice."

Seemingly seeing something strange on Ling Yuzi's face, Xin Lailai explained and looked at Ling Yuzi:
"Anyway, if you hadn't turned me into a ghost, I would most likely be a corpse now... No, maybe there would be no bones left."

After hearing this, Ling Yuzi was silent for a while and then said:

"Human, you are really weird."

"Is it weird? Ha, it would be better to say that you are a little desperate, right?"

Xin Lailai shook his head and said mockingly to himself. At the same time, he looked to the side with his peripheral vision. In his pupils, words that Ling Yuzi could not see were reflected:

[Contractor number: 83112
Name: Xin Lailai
……

……

Power: 2
Agility: 2
Stamina: 2
Intelligence: 3
Charisma: 7
Lucky: 1
...]

The basic attributes of his body dropped to the point where the sum of the four attributes could not reach 10 points. Two years of hard work were all gone. Now, in terms of his basic physical attributes, he was even worse than himself before entering the paradise.

He is alive now entirely because of the paradise's attribute penalty, which will only deduct the attribute to 0 points even if it overflows, and Ling Yuzi's life-saving ghost blood transformation:
……

【Bloodline of Ghost】

Skill effects: Strength +2, Agility +2, Physical +2, Intelligence +3, Physical Defense +2, Health +50, Cell Energy +100, and gain [Ripple Fear], [Flesh Devouring], [Regeneration] body] effect. …

If Ling Yuzi hadn't transformed him into a ghost in time, he would be a corpse now.

But even though the passive basic bonus of ghost blood provided by Ling Yuzi is quite good, he is still just a waste with attributes so low that even a three-year-old child may not be able to fight.

Not only that, because he is still alive, the main mission assigned to him by the paradise is not over yet:

……

[Main Mission·Sixth Ring: Ghost Moon Falls]

Task Difficulty: LV.10
Mission introduction: This is the day when evil spirits cry!
Mission introduction: Kill all the Twelve Ghost Moons, and the contribution must be greater than 90%.

Mission period: 9 days, 19 hours, 31 minutes and 21 seconds

Mission reward: Attribute points*12, Paradise points*30000
Mission Punishment: Forced Execution

*Warning: Because the contractor failed to complete the main mission three times in a row, the difficulty and punishment of the main mission in this ring have been significantly increased, and the mission period has been reduced by 3%. The qualification to return to the derivative world will be issued after completing the main mission and the final ring.

……

He failed the third ring of the main quest in a daze, and his attributes dropped to the point where he was not as good as an ordinary person. In this case, trying to complete the sixth or even final ring of the main quest was tantamount to fantasy.

And because he has not yet obtained the qualification to return to the derivative world, even if he uses the team skills of the Lai Lai Cult to voluntarily give up the main mission and avoid the mission penalty, he cannot return to the paradise.

Not only that, but what really shattered the last glimmer of hope in Xin Lailai’s heart was another discovery:
[*Warning: According to ■■■■ Regulations, the imprint communication function will be blocked before the end of this derivative world]

As early as when he was doing the main plot of the second ring, Paradise told him that this derivative world was accelerated in time and space, so all external communication methods would be affected to a certain extent.

But fortunately, relying on the team passivity of Lai Lai Cult, he can still choose to spend 1000 paradise points to choose to send or receive messages in the team channel.

However, because this was too wasteful, and because Xin Lai Lai had not encountered any difficulties requiring help in the past two years, Xin Lai Lai had never used the communication function of Yijia in the past two years.

For Xin Lailai, seeking help from the leaders of the Lailai Cult was a last resort. After all, 04296 had warned him that if he relied too much on others, it would be difficult for him to go far in the paradise.

Therefore, Xin Lailai has always regarded team communication as his last trump card.

But when he really planned to rely on this trump card, he suddenly discovered that the communication function of his brand had been completely banned by the park two days ago.

No matter how stupid he is, Xin Lailai knows that this is by no means a normal phenomenon. Thinking back to some information that 04296 had vaguely mentioned to him and his experiences, Xin Lailai has vaguely guessed the answer:
——He is likely to be involved in some kind of assessment of a special contractor in the paradise.

Although it was just a guess, Xin Lailai's intuition told him that this was most likely the truth, and it was easy to verify this guess.

"I have a question for you. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to answer it."

Xin Lailai looked at Ling Yuzi beside him and said.

"Ask." Ling Yuzi replied calmly.

"What kind of strength does the executioner mentioned by the windmill have in the Twelve Ghost Moons?"

Seeing this, Xin Lailai asked her question directly without any pretense.

A look of hesitation flashed through Ling Yuzi's eyes. After being silent for a while, she said:

"She is the new ghost brought back by Lord Wuhan. As soon as she arrived, she launched a bloody battle with the original one, Lord Black Death Mou, and then... defeated and ate Lord Black Death Mou."

really.

The suspicion in my mind was completely confirmed.

Directly defeating Hei Shimo, the first of the strings, this kind of strength is definitely not what ordinary first-order contractors should have.

A sneer sounded in Xin Lailai's heart.

His fists clenched instinctively, but then slowly unclenched.

"Fuck it."

Xin Lailai cursed softly in Chinese.

What kind of balance between camps and what kind of fair competition among contractors are all bullshit.

From the beginning to the end, there was no competition between him and the guy from the evil ghost camp!
More importantly, in theory, ordinary contractors should never be so confusedly involved in such a situation, and Xin Lailai did not think that Paradise would commit such an oversight.

Therefore, Xin Lailai could only think of one answer:
He...was treated as an outcast by Paradise.

No, that is actually not accurate, because even if it is an abandoned piece, it at least once had the value of being a chess piece, and his words are more like an insignificant piece of dust that has not even set foot on the chessboard. .

To be precise, from the very beginning, Paradise had not cared about his life or death at all.
