Chapter 144 The Curse of Eternal Life.

"I have a bold idea."

Hughes blinked, Chloe's words interrupting his thoughts.

She had already sat up, stopped what she was doing, and was looking over here hesitantly.

There was still a trace of blood at the corner of the girl's mouth, which was gradually sliding down and then dripping onto her black nun's uniform with a "pa" sound.

"Oh, it's dirty."

She lowered her head in annoyance, her orange-red hair was a little messy, like a ball of fire.

"What was the effect of drinking the blood just now?"

"It didn't work very well." Chloe tried to rub the blood, but it only made it bigger. "Well, I don't want to discourage you, but it actually didn't have any effect."

"That's a pity. It seems my blood can't dispel the pollution." Zeus looked down at his finger. The cut that the girl had just made was not big and would heal soon.

"No, not necessarily. I just thought about it. Drinking blood doesn't actually count as entering the body."

"What do you mean?"

"For example, if there is contamination in my body, it can appear anywhere, but not in my stomach. It seems that the definition of contamination inside and outside the body is different from our common sense."

This seems to make some sense. Zeus had experienced persistent contamination in his body before, and there was indeed no contamination in his stomach.

The location of the pollution is really accurate. Even if he keeps moving, it can appear in the flesh and blood without any deviation, as if the pollution does not come from the outside world, but from his heart.

"So drinking blood is not okay. It's not that your blood cannot be purified, but the method of [drinking] it is wrong. It's like performing a ritual. The materials used are completely correct, but if the steps deviate even a little bit, the original effect cannot be achieved."

Chloe's eyes were sparkling, and they seemed to gradually brighten up, as if she had thought of an idea.

"So I have an idea. Maybe it's a little too bold. I wonder if you can accept it."

"You can tell me first. I will tell you whether you can accept it or not after you listen to me." Xius thought for a moment and looked into her eyes. "By the way, I have a question. Why do your eyes light up when you are excited?"

"Eyes shining?"

Chloe was stunned and shook her head: "My eyes don't shine, do they? Is it because the room is too dark and you saw it wrong?"

She looked over with some confusion, tilted her head and blinked, her eyes like two bright candles in the dim room.

Xiu Si frowned. He had always thought that this was some effect of his supernatural power, such as the brightness of his eyes increasing as his mood improved. But she didn't know? That should have nothing to do with her supernatural power. Could it be his ability? Perhaps the symbiotic contract gave him new abilities, such as being able to directly see other people's moods.

Zeus looked at Chloe's eyes carefully. Her pupils were also orange-red, the same color as her hair. The light emitted from them was not dazzling, but rather fluorescent like a cat's eyes at night.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Just tell me what you think first."

Then Xius saw that the girl's orange-red pupils suddenly brightened by two levels.

"Okay, but let me make it clear in advance. I'm a superhuman and won't get hurt by this kind of thing. I hope you won't get scared later." She bit her lip and said, "I want you to really put your hand inside me and try."

Hughes' eyes widened.

"I am a Nymph, a supernatural path unique to the Fire-Chasing Moth. Its main abilities are concealment and escape, and its perception ability is also outstanding. However, few people know that this path has a unique ability."

Chloe was now lying flat on the table, with her fingers interlocked in front of her chest.

She looked at Xius who was standing aside, and said with some encouragement: "Come on, don't worry, you won't hurt me."

"Are you sure? This is too weird, right?"

Xius's expression was complicated, and he looked very hesitant and conflicted.

"Come on, I'll continue telling you." Chloe's voice was firm, and she tried to keep her eyes open without blinking.

Xius took a deep breath, calmed down some of the hesitation in his heart, and put his hand on the girl's face.

Chloe smiled, her eyes curved a little. Her eyes were already big, and when Hughes got closer, they looked like two bays of lake water with orange-red bottom sand beneath the surface.

Zeus gritted his teeth and put his fingers into the lake.

".The ability of the [Nymph] is limb reconstruction."

"My internal structure is completely different from that of humans, and what you see is not real."

There was not much resistance and the fingers sank in. Xiusi only felt that his fingers were entering into the jelly. He did not dare to move and stopped hesitantly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Suddenly, he felt a warmth on his wrist, and when he looked up, he saw Chloe's hand holding his arm, guiding him to explore inside her body.

"Don't worry, it's totally fine. Even if you smash my head, I won't die. The most I'll do is lose my mouth and won't be able to talk to you."

Hughes' fingers almost completely entered Chloe's eye sockets, and the warm touch told him that this was not an illusion.

It was really amazing. The finger clearly entered her pupil but did not force her eyeball open. It was as if the orange pupil was just painted on. The girl in front of him was just wearing human skin, and her inside was completely different.

"Your ability is too weird. I even doubt whether you are still human." Xius couldn't help but sigh. He felt that his three views were impacted.

"It's just a small price to pay. Extraordinary beings are like this. They bear the curse, gain power, and drift away from humans."

Chloe said it nonchalantly, as if she really didn't feel lost at all, but Zeus felt that even if she was a fire moth, even if she had devoted her whole body and soul to the truth, it might not be so easy for her to abandon her human body.

"I don't think Nora has changed at all."

"Her? Humph." Chloe chuckled. "All the extraordinary people in the Silent Temple are... pitiful. She is the Undertaker, right? Did she tell you that she won't die?"

"She said she didn't expect eternal life to be so simple. I was shocked at the time."

"Eternal life? It is indeed eternal life. The eternal life curse of the Silent Temple is really famous."

Xiu Si frowned. "Isn't immortality good? So many people are longing for immortality. To be honest, I am confused as to why those nobles didn't secretly become extraordinary beings to gain the ability of immortality."

"Who told you they don't have any more?" Chloe sneered. "You should go to the choir of their church. It's filled with heads wailing day and night - their torment will never end."

Hughes stopped moving and his eyes slowly widened.

"Legend has it that at the northernmost end of the North, in the Pure White Land that no one can reach, there is a mountain peak made of diamonds. It is the pillar of the world that supports the sky from falling. It takes a year to climb it, and another year to go around it. Every hundred years, a two-headed bird the size of a sparrow comes here, sharpens its beak twice, and then flies away. When this diamond mountain is ground into a flat ground, the pillar collapses, the sky falls to the ground, and the first second of eternal life is gone."

"Now, do you still like eternal life?"
