Chapter 277 Destruction
On the chair where Xu Youyou sat in the tall building where she had stayed before, a woman wrapped in black gauze now sat.
The woman kept mumbling to herself, and the people around her kept their distance from her, as if they were afraid of being contaminated.
The Gu siblings were standing in the corner. Gu Yuji was holding a telescope and looking into the house. From his perspective, he could see that the entire courtyard was now filled with gray smoke and there was no movement at all.
"Will she die?" Gu Xueying suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, she will die without leaving any bones." Gu Yuji said sinisterly.
Gu Xueying forced a smile. She really hated Xu Youyou, but she couldn't be happy after hearing this. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, Lu Jingyao liked Xu Youyou so much, would he be sad if he knew this? But this thought only lasted for a moment. Gu Xueying understood better than anyone that only when Xu Youyou died would her life be better.
Deep down, she also hoped that Xu Youyou would die.
The woman in the center of the crowd had a smile on her face beneath her black veil, and she felt that everything was under control.
But suddenly, she seemed to feel some inexplicable power. Her forehead tensed in an instant, and the sound of her chanting became faster and faster. She even picked up a small knife beside her and wiped a handful of blood from her palm.
Gu Yuji, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but frowned when he saw this situation: "Such a situation? Can Xu Youyou break it?"
At this moment, Xu Youyou was in the yard, and it was as if there were two villains fighting in her mind. One of them was arrogant and urged her to act quickly, while the other one, who was weak in breath, kept shouting, "Don't be impulsive."
Xu Youyou, who was always calm and rational, acted as if she didn't hear the weak voice. She raised the dagger in her hand and gradually brought it closer to her neck.
[Ding! The host is in a state of loss of soul, please regain your sanity as soon as possible and complete the task of picking up leaks as soon as possible! ]
The mechanical sound of the system rang in Xu Youyou's ears countless times, and a look of struggle gradually appeared on Xu Youyou's face.
“Ding ding ding!”
The cell phone that fell to the ground suddenly rang.
After a while, Xu Youyou suddenly woke up, gasping for breath.
"What's wrong with me?"
She was in the gray fog. She lowered her head and saw the dagger in her hand that was shining with a cold and eerie light. She was so scared that she let go of her hand. The dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The cell phone continued to ring persistently. Xu Youyou squatted down, picked up the phone, and looked at the caller displayed on it.
"Qing girl, you...you know that I'm in danger?" Xu Youyou asked.
The voice of Qing Yatou on the other end of the phone was still as ethereal as if she was singing: "Sister Youyou, I didn't know you were in danger. I just thought I should call you, but I didn't know what to say to you when the call is connected."
Xu Youyou felt a lump in her throat, and she felt that picking up Qing Yatou was the most important task she had ever completed. Even if Qing Yatou didn't become a million-dollar up-host like she is now, Xu Youyou was willing to support her for the rest of her life.
"Sister Youyou, goodbye." Qing Yatou was about to hang up the phone.
Xu Youyou quickly said: "Thank you.
Qing Yatou said: "Sister Youyou, I did what I should do."
After the call ended, Xu Youyou said to the system solemnly, "You saved me again."
The system still had an extremely stable mechanical voice: [Host, only by living can you see a wider landscape. Please live long and healthily. ]
Xu Youyou's heart softened.
【Host, pick up that dagger. 】
Xu Youyou was stunned when she heard this. Before, after she held the dagger, she fell into some abnormal state.
After hesitating for a moment, she took out a handkerchief and wrapped the dagger. Her expression was full of alert, waiting to throw the dagger away immediately if she noticed anything wrong.
But she didn't fall into that strange state again.
The system suddenly spoke and explained: [Host, you will not be trapped by the same trap twice. ]
Xu Youyou immediately understood that this same trick had worked on her once and she had developed antibodies, so she was not afraid now.
Now that she had come out of that trance, she could finally see clearly what the golden pointer in front of her was pointing to.
The golden pointer still fell in the original place. Xu Youyou thought at first that it was pointing to the dagger, but now she realized that it was pointing to a wooden box under the dagger.
She walked forward and opened the box. What she saw was a shiny black round sphere that seemed to be only the size of an adult's fist.
She took out something from the box through the handkerchief. It felt heavy in her hand, but as soon as she saw what it was, she wanted to throw it away on the spot.
It was a head, a round head, and it looked like a child, with eyes slightly closed and a very peaceful expression.
But this strange thing gave Xu Youyou the illusion that it would open its eyes at any time.
She recalled the cries of the children she had heard before, and her heart tightened for a moment: "Is this the head taken from a child?"
【no.】
After getting the system's answer, Xu Youyou did not relax and still felt extremely uncomfortable.
[Although this thing was not taken from a living person, it contains the resentment of countless babies.]
Xu Youyou wanted to throw the thing away again, and was so anxious that she almost jumped up: "Am I going to leave with this thing?"
[Host, sometimes picking up bargains is not about gaining, but about destroying.]
When Xu Youyou heard this, she didn't even have time to think about it. She impatiently picked up the dagger and stabbed it hard into the head.
Suddenly, she heard a sharp baby cry, and the sound seemed to penetrate her eardrum.
"This sound is simply fatal!" Xu Youyou couldn't help but complain.
The system rarely responds to anything: [It will definitely cost someone’s life. 】
On the rooftop opposite the courtyard, the woman in black veil who was performing a spell suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood: "Impossible! How could such a perfect spell be destroyed!"
Seeing her like this, Gu Yuji ran over quickly and said, "Queen of Heaven, Xu Youyou is not dead?"
The woman stared at him with eyes like sharp swords and said, "How did she solve the trap I set up in my dojo? Are you hiding something from me?"
Gu Yuji said: "Xu Youyou has nothing special except that she is a little bit lucky."
The woman in black veil glared at him fiercely and said, "Something is wrong! There must be something about her that we don't know about. No, since her magic has been destroyed, we can't let her stay there any longer..."
Before the woman in black veil could finish her words, her eyes suddenly widened and she fell to the ground without any warning.
