【The Rich Fruit of Despair】
【Props】
[Level: Rare]
[Description: This fruit, born from despair, has a rich and sweet taste. Eating it will plunge the user into endless despair, allowing them to receive guidance from the Witch of Despair.]
...
There are five fruits in total.
certainly.
If I use it all up, I should be able to ask her for more.
The problem Su Bai needed to consider was whether he could find enough five survivors.
He knew perfectly well what fate awaited the survivors once they entered the Dungeon of Despair. The witch's mention of live human research certainly didn't refer to playing house with them...
Therefore, selecting suitable survivors is also one of his tasks.
Like Youssefka.
Of course, we can't just give her guidance when there are important missions and storylines to come.
Unless they are of particularly bad character or have already lost their value... Su Bai doesn't need to feel pity for the latter, since they'll die sooner or later if they stay in the city anyway, it's just a matter of dying a few days earlier or later.
Even worse, if infected by something like Madness or Scurvy Virus, or targeted by a strange entity like the Lord of Nothingness.
They will also die a very painful death.
It's better to contribute your last bit of value before you die.
Back on the ground.
Ning Hongchen squatted to the side, her face pale, as if she hadn't recovered yet.
"What exactly did you see down there?"
Nine Lives Strangely Asked.
Ning Hongchen kept her mouth tightly shut and didn't speak, as if she didn't want to recall any of the related scenes at all.
In her eyes, she was unaware that she was under an illusion, and she was not the same witch she had seen.
Su Bai thought for a moment.
It was wise of them not to press her about what she had seen.
Otherwise, he could hardly guarantee that he wouldn't show any particular emotions when he met the witch again.
Let Ning Hongchen bear this pain alone...
Therefore, he simply smiled when faced with Jiu Ming's question.
"Let's go back."
Time is running out.
Although the journey to the polluted land took a lot of time, it would be a waste to go back now. However, without sufficient supplies of medicine, it would be difficult to explore far from here.
Going back is also to ensure that the next time everyone enters, the spawn point will still be in the city.
The tasks here have been completed.
Next, Su Bai's goal is to accelerate the exploration of the neighborhood.
There's no point in staying here.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the three of them didn't press him further and could only follow him on his journey home, filled with curiosity.
...
After crossing the swamp again and returning to the cemetery, they saw Ning Hongchen becoming nervous again.
Su Bai said, "Don't worry, we won't need to take the original route back."
As he spoke, he arrived at the gravedigger's hut.
He reached out and pulled the door open.
moment.
Thick fog rolled in.
The figures of the group were swallowed up like a tide.
"Welcome, welcome..."
Before my vision was clear, I could already hear that hoarse, strange laughter.
"We have a few more new customers."
The group of people instinctively sensed something was wrong upon hearing this.
New customers?
Did you add an extra word...?
Su Bai was already used to this. He took out a few bottles of monster blood from his backpack, handed them over, and said, "Send us away."
"Don't be in such a hurry." The old lady behind the counter turned to Su Bai, a strange and terrifying smile spreading across her wrinkled face. "Ah... it's despair, what a wonderful taste. If you can bring me her eyes, we can still complete our deal."
"...I will consider it."
Su Bai nodded slightly.
The unexpected conversation further confirmed his earlier suspicions.
The Despair Witch's strength is indeed on par with the Resurrected God's Messenger; both should be fourth-tier lord-level beings.
But obtaining the witch's eyes is probably even more difficult than finding the eyes of the resurrected.
Therefore, Su Bai didn't take those words to heart at all.
While the two were talking, the others were also browsing the merchandise displayed in the counter. The symbiotes' unique abilities made them all eager to try them out, and Ning Hongchen even pointed to a perfect-grade symbiote and asked:
How do I replace this?
“Little girl, that’s not something you can afford to trade…” The old lady’s words carried a deeper meaning. She continued, “Unless you can bring me the heart of an Aries.”
"Aries' heart?"
Ning Hongchen looked at Su Bai with a questioning gaze.
"A fourth-tier lord of the Divine Court District."
Su Bai replied simply.
"Oh." Ning Hongchen immediately withdrew his hand. "Sorry to bother you."
"It doesn't matter."
The old woman let out a sinister laugh, and then pulled out two bracelets from her bosom that looked like they were woven from tiny bone fragments.
"It's too dangerous for you two girls to walk around in this city. Buy a bracelet to ward off evil spirits. It's very cheap."
"What's this?"
Ning Hongchen looked over curiously.
This was the first time Su Bai had ever seen such a thing sold in a cemetery shop.
Otherworldly Bone Chain
【Props】

[Note: When equipped, it can shield you from the senses of certain unknown entities, or block one instance of malicious intent from an unknown entity. Once this effect is triggered, the item will be completely destroyed.]
...
"Um?"
After seeing the effect of the prop, Su Bai was stunned, and then he thought of the two people the old lady was specifically referring to: Ning Hongchen and Su Siyao.
How could he not understand?
