Chapter 3403: Demon Record (26)

Hong Yu remained calm and collected. She sat securely, watching the show as Ning Shu struggled to deal with the nail, unable to fend for herself.

Hong Yu smiled faintly. But in an instant, the smile on her face stiffened, and she furrowed her eyebrows.

Pop, pop, pop…

Every blood vessel in Hong Yu’s body burst. Blood shot out of her body like high-pressure water jets. Not a single patch of her skin remained intact.

Inside her chest, her heart pounded violently—thump-thump-thump—as if it had lost its rhythm. Finally, with a loud bang, her heart exploded.

In a split second, Hong Yu turned into a bloody human-shaped mess.

“You have some skill.” Even with an exploded heart, Hong Yu could still speak. She let out a sigh. “The imprint of the water ordinance really is a good thing.”

“But you can’t escape this nail. I didn’t lose to you; I lost to the water ordinance.”

Hong Yu ceased breathing and collapsed to the ground.

‘You lost to me,’ Ning Shu thought. ‘I made myself the embodiment of the ordinance. If you don’t like it, suck it up.’

Hong Yu was dead, but the nail continued to chase Ning Shu relentlessly. Its sole objective was to drive itself into her body.

How could she get rid of this nail?

Damn it, this was such a pit!

The creator of the illusions was dead, so the illusions shattered. Young Genius Nangong, who had been drowning in the fantasy, woke up. When he saw the bloody figure on the ground, he didn’t dare to recognize who it was.

The person who had been talking to him just moments ago was now a corpse?

Hong Yu had spoken to Ning Shu without fear earlier because she had trapped Nangong in a beautiful illusion. Now that Hong Yu was dead, the illusion was gone.

“Sis? Who… who killed you?” Nangong looked at Ning Shu. “It was you! I’m going to kill you! Kill you, you damn monster!”

Ning Shu was entangled with the nail. The thing was tireless, refusing to stop until it reached its target. Meanwhile, Young Genius Nangong was staring at her with red, bloodshot eyes.

His hatred alone felt strong enough to shoot Ning Shu dead.

Nangong grabbed the demon-binding rope, intending to tie Ning Shu up.

Ning Shu was annoyed. If she actually got tied up, the nail would definitely pierce her body, and she would be completely finished.

Ning Shu pointed a finger at Nangong.

Nangong followed in Hong Yu’s footsteps. All his blood rushed out of his body, and his heart exploded into a pile of meat pulp.

Nangong was a huge problem. The Nangong family was a famous clan of exorcists. Getting entangled with them was a major issue. But she couldn’t allow herself to be bound by that rope. Once bound, it was game over.

Nangong fell to the ground with her eyes wide open. His eyeballs were filled with blood, and tears of blood streamed down his face.

There was only one living person left in the room—An Yujun, who was powerless to truss a chicken yet had survived until now.

Seeing two people suddenly explode into a splash of blood and gore, An Yujun shuddered in terror. She grabbed her own hair, curled into a ball, and trembled uncontrollably.

She muttered about her children, muttered about the snake king, mumbling to herself while crying and laughing at the same time.

The room was in chaos. It contained nothing but corpses and snakes now. Everywhere one looked, there was blood. An Yujun clutched her head, and her eyes lost focus.

Ning Shu couldn’t think of a suitable way to deal with the nail.

If she didn’t solve this, she would be annihilated. She would disappear.

Anxious cold sweat rolled down Ning Shu’s forehead. This was a matter of life and death.

What could she do? What could she do?

Seeing the nail, Ning Shu rushed in from the window, grabbed the bureau chief’s corpse off the floor, and threw it at the nail.

If this thing wouldn’t stop until it nailed a person, she’d treat a dead horse like a live one and try it. It couldn’t hurt to try.

The nail pierced into the bureau chief’s body, went straight through it, and continued rushing toward Ning Shu.

Ning Shu: …

Holy crap!

Did this thing have a program? Like a guided missile, designated to hit a specific spot? Why was it still chasing her?

Ning Shu threw Nangong’s corpse at it. The nail pierced right through him, too. Its target remained Ning Shu.

Motherfucker!

Was she really going to die here today?

Furthermore, Ning Shu wasn’t sure if Hong Yu would return. Although she had left the bureau chief’s body, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t re-enter this plane to check on her results.

And how had Hong Yu accurately found the plane Ning Shu was in?

Ning Shu’s heart pounded wildly. The hair on her body stood on end, and her every muscle trembled.

Cold sweat ran into her eyes. She didn’t dare blink, even though the salty sweat stung her eyeballs painfully.

She couldn’t afford a moment of carelessness.

Ning Shu stood with her back against a wall. She froze, watching the reflection of the nail shooting toward her in her own pupils.

She tilted her head and leaned her body to the side. Thwack!

The nail shot into the wall and embedded itself so deeply it couldn’t come out.

Ning Shu let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. However, she didn’t dare relax, because the nail was vibrating, trying to pull itself out.

Ning Shu sprayed some water onto the wall and froze the entire surface, temporarily trapping the nail in ice.

The nail was over ten centimeters long and incredibly sharp. If it pierced her body, it would instantly obliterate her soul.

Damn it, the items in the system exchange marketplace were freaking perverse.

Not only were they rip-offs, but they were also sadistically cruel.

And she had heard Hong Yu had connections. There was no guarantee she didn’t have special privileges. What if she sent something else?

How could she destroy this thing?

“Found a treasure. Do you want to exchange it?” The voice of 2333 rang out in Ning Shu’s mind.

Ning Shu paused for a second before realizing what 2333 meant. “Exchange it!”

Using the system’s power to take the nail away—and getting paid for it? That’d be great!

She gave a thumbs-up for 2333’s quick wit.

Ning Shu tapped her finger, and the ice on the wall cracked. The nail vibrated free from the wall, turned around, and flew at Ning Shu again.

“Don’t move,” 2333 said.

Ning Shu gave a grunt of affirmation. As she was seeing the nail fly towards her, standing still was actually quite difficult.

But out of trust for 2333, Ning Shu remained motionless. She watched as the nail shot towards the space between her eyebrows.

However, the nail stopped just an inch from her forehead. It spun continuously, and finally, it vanished.

Ning Shu’s body went limp. She sat on the floor and wiped a handful of cold sweat from her forehead.

Her hands and feet were like jelly.

“How much is that thing worth?” Ning Shu asked 2333.

“1,500 faith points. Of course, that’s the trade price. The original price is 3,000,” 2333 said.

The exchange marketplace was truly evil. It chopped the value of that item right in half.

But getting 1,500 faith points for free wasn’t bad.

“Can all items be exchanged like this?” Ning Shu asked 2333.

“No. It’s only because this item currently has no owner. If that task-taker were still in this world, the system exchange marketplace couldn’t accept it. We’d found a loophole.”

Ning Shu sighed. She felt truly exhausted. The items in the exchange marketplace were essentially cheats provided to the task-takers.
