Chapter 257 : Whatever
Chapter 257 - Whatever
Since finding out that Ye Sheng had a miraculous lottery space, Gu Luoyu had been harboring many unspoken thoughts.
She didn’t want Ye Sheng to be so easily deceived.
She truly didn’t believe that obtaining the lottery space was a random event.
Where could such a coincidence come from… Compared to randomness, she believed it was premeditated.
After all, Ye Sheng only obtained the lottery space after picking up the severely injured Gu Luoyu in the junkyard. Every time she wanted to draw a lottery, she had to touch Gu Luoyu to officially activate it.
The psychic soothing ability she later obtained wasn’t of much practical use to Ye Sheng.
It wasn’t as effective as methods that could enhance strength, allowing her to adapt faster to the wasteland world.
The real effect of the psychic soothing ability was actually to calm Gu Luoyu’s on-the-verge-of-collapse psychic power, preventing her from going insane and falling into a killing spree.
Thus, the lottery space’s various attempts to make her start the trial of the gods was traceable… The truth had long been hidden in the details of the past.
With a little thought, everything connected.
It was also for this reason that Gu Luoyu accepted it quickly, without any signs of frustration, only feeling that what was meant to come would come.
However, the lottery space shouldn’t have used means that hurt Ye Sheng to coerce her. This account would be settled slowly in the future.
Thinking of this, Gu Luoyu half-closed her red eyes, hiding the ferocity within. After making sure that Ye Sheng was safe and would be protected by the lottery space, she took out a tool from the badge space.
It was a dagger that looked exquisite and ornate.
The hilt was shaped like a snake’s head, with red gemstones embedded in the snake’s eyes. The overly rich color seemed almost black, shimmering with a mysterious and cold light.
The method to activate this tool was simple; just needed to use it to make a wound on the body.
However, depending on the location of the wound made by the dagger, the difficulty of the upcoming trial of the gods would vary. The more fatal the wound, the more difficult the trial, and similarly, the more generous the rewards after recognition.
Gu Luoyu didn’t hesitate. With Ye Sheng unconscious, it was more convenient for her to act.
She directly raised her hand and stabbed the dagger hard into her heart.
The next second, the damaged heart sent out intense pain, a proof of its struggle to survive. The flesh cut open by the dagger at her chest continuously gushed out large amounts of blood, quickly staining her clothes red.
Smelling the overly obvious scent of blood, Gu Luoyu frowned. Without tending to the wound on her chest, she immediately issued a command to the lottery space: “Ye Sheng must not find out I’m injured, quickly clean up these traces afterward.”
After speaking, Gu Luoyu sensed something unusual. She looked down to see the dagger that had been stuck in her chest had now transformed into a black-red snake, disregarding the wound, drilling straight in.
The pain of a living creature burrowing into a wound would be unbearable for anyone.
However, Gu Luoyu’s expression remained unchanged, not even a sound of pain escaped her lips. She just stood still, coldly watching the snake disappear into the wound, its tail vanishing before her eyes.
【Forbidden Land, Open】
As the mechanical voice sounded, Gu Luoyu’s figure gradually became transparent. She suddenly turned her head to the left, looking at Ye Sheng, who was still unconscious, her eyes tightly shut, her rosy cheeks full of vitality, making one feel much happier just by looking at her.
Gu Luoyu’s lips slowly curved upwards, her red eyes filled with determination, softly saying, “Xiao Sheng, wait for me to come back.”
……
Ye Sheng felt as if she had slept for a very long time.
When she woke up and opened her eyes, she was a bit dazed.
When she finally came to her senses, she immediately sat up in a panic, her black eyes anxiously scanning the surroundings.
Where was Gu Luoyu!!!
Where is she!
At that time, her hand was sucked by the prophecy stone, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t remove it. She could even feel the prophecy stone sucking her blood. This ominous stone was determined to take her life.
In that situation, Ye Sheng suddenly fainted.
Thinking about it now, she guessed the reason.
It was Gu Luoyu who had acted, directly knocking her out!
Now she was fine, but Gu Luoyu was gone, making Ye Sheng easily think of the worst outcome, which was that Gu Luoyu had started the trial of the gods. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have needed to knock her out.
That Gu Luoyu, if only she hadn’t given her the tool…
Ye Sheng searched for a long time but couldn’t find anyone. She squatted down in frustration, and after a while, tears couldn’t stop flowing down, unable to stay strong.
Even if her arm was cut off, she wouldn’t want Gu Luoyu to take such a risk.
This trip to the amusement city was really bad.
Just as Ye Sheng squatted down and cried for a long time, the stone at her feet, illuminated by the moonlight, shimmered brightly, making Ye Sheng clench her teeth in anger.
It’s all because of this ghost thing!
【Goblin Queen’s Prophecy Stone (Mutating): The miraculous prophecy stone has absorbed the blood of the lucky one, supplemented by a large amount of life force as power, developing a new ability. Only the final step, the tempering of a demi-god, is needed for a new birth】
Ye Sheng picked up the prophecy stone, ignoring the tool description that had appeared in mid-air, stating that the curse had been lifted and there were other changes. She angrily threw it forward, tossing the prophecy stone away.
Unfortunately, all she got was a crisp sound of stone hitting stone, but it couldn’t bring Gu Luoyu back.
Thinking of Gu Luoyu, Ye Sheng’s tears welled up again, her eyes unconsciously turning red. But she had cried too much earlier, now she couldn’t cry anymore, only the uncomfortable sourness remained.
Ye Sheng didn’t go anywhere else; she just lay back down.
Whatever.
Wasn’t the amusement city at night full of wandering monsters?
Then come and eat her!
Without Gu Luoyu, she didn’t want to live anymore, just die.
Even though there was a child in her belly that hadn’t yet been born, in Ye Sheng’s heart, she clearly cared more about Gu Luoyu. If they couldn’t be together in this life, then after death, the three of them could reunite!
Ye Sheng lay there, staring blankly, the moon of the amusement city above her head, clearly different from the red moon of the wasteland world, without the stinging sensation of radiation on her body, not her real world.
But ironically, the amusement city monsters she had been worried about, with the dark goblins sneaking around earlier, now there wasn’t a single shadow to be seen.
It was as if the area she was in had formed a special barrier.
Besides Ye Sheng, there were no other living beings.
Ye Sheng didn’t have the mood to get up and look for death elsewhere; she just lay there quietly, tears finally able to flow again, quickly dripping down from the corners of her eyes, soon wetting a small patch of the ground.
“Look what I found, a little crying kitten.”
Just as Ye Sheng was grieving, a familiar voice rang out behind her, making her stunned for a moment before she quickly got up in an undignified manner, eagerly looking up.
