Chapter 107 Fungal Remains Frenzy 68 Betrayal.
Ying Yao's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. His fingertips straightened and then curled up. Just as Nanmen Jue picked up the second piece of brain and put it in her mouth, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Don't eat it. The side effects of this tool may not sound like much, but they will torment you for the rest of your life. Mental torture is more terrible than physical torture. You won't like it."
Nanmen Jue raised her eyes. She ate very cleanly, with no green slime on her face. But after eating a piece of brain, her eyes glowed with a green light, making her look like a cold-blooded beast.
"It's just a little girl's resentment and bitterness, and I should bear it too."
She tried to push Ying Yao's hand away, but Ying Yao's fingers were clenched tightly, and she couldn't budge him. She raised an eyebrow and deliberately held up his green brain, "Want a piece too?"
Ying Yao stared at her, his voice full of confusion, "Why did you do this? Do you really want her ability that much?"
Nanmen Jue said, "If Cheng Xiuye went to great lengths to obtain this ability, is it so strange that I would want it too?"
Ying Yao bluntly said, "You are different from him."
Anyone else would have believed that Ying Yao was blinded by greed and would disregard the consequences for this ability, but Nanmen Jue would not.
This is Zhang Zhi's brain, the brain of the little girl that Nanmen Jue tried her best to protect. Even if Nanmen Jue really did anything to gain power, she would not eat Zhang Zhi's brain.
Therefore, Nanmen Jue's behavior was completely incomprehensible to Ying Yao. He couldn't understand why she would do such a thing, but he wanted to stop her.
Nanmen Jue remained silent, then tugged at her wrist again, but still couldn't budge it. A gloomy look appeared in her eyes, radiating a violent aura. "Since you don't intend to take it from me, then let go."
Ying Yao still wouldn't let go. "Why do you insist on getting her ability? We're leaving in a few days, and we don't even know if this ability will still be useful later."
Nanmen Jue closed his eyes briefly, trying his best to suppress the murderous aura surging within him. "I don't want to fight you. Let go."
Ying Yao tightened his grip, but did not loosen it, demonstrating his answer through his actions.
Nanmen Jue suddenly raised her head. "Do you think you can interfere in my affairs just because you have a relationship with my sister? Even Nanmen Yu can't control me, and you want to be my parent? I'll say it one last time, let go!"
She herself did not realize that there was a hint of willfulness in her words that she only showed to her older sister, and even a very subtle childishness and grievance.
Seeing that Ying Yao still didn't speak, Nanmen Jue pursed his lips. Seeing that he was really about to take action, Ying Yao sighed softly.
He said, "I don't want you to regret it later."
Nanmen Jue's raised hand suddenly froze. She slowly lowered her head, looking at the other brains piled up in the pot. Thinking about what she was going to do next, she suddenly felt a little dazed.
What is she doing? Now that she's made up her mind, she shouldn't get involved with anyone else; she's only hurting him.
Ying Yao suddenly noticed that Nanmen Jue's eyes had changed.
Although she had been expressionless and her words were harsh, her eyes were soft. He saw a faint plea for help in her eyes when she looked at him.
She was afraid.
What was she afraid of? Was she afraid of the side effects of consuming the brain? Ying Yao didn't think so. He knew Nanmen Jue wouldn't tell, but he wanted to help her, so he didn't let go of her hand.
At this moment, the softness in Nanmen Jue's eyes disappeared, replaced by a firm and sharp look, like a piece of tempered iron. He had seen such eyes before, and those who possessed such eyes were all powerful figures with unwavering wills who would not be swayed by others.
Since he met Nanmen Jue, she seemed to be in some kind of struggle. She was decisive and clear-headed, but there was always a hint of uncertainty in the depths of her eyes. Ying Yao didn't know what she was hesitating about, and now he probably wouldn't have the chance to ask.
When Nanmen Jue revealed such a look in her eyes, it meant that she had completed a certain transformation; she had become a true and thorough warrior, willing to fight to the death for something.
"Let me go," Nanmen Jue said.
Her tone even became calm, but Ying Yao looked into her eyes and slowly loosened his grip.
Nanmen Jue didn't look at him again, picked up the rest of the brain, and stuffed it into his mouth bit by bit.
She didn't waste time trying to keep Ying Yao away from her. After all, once anyone saw what she was going to do next, any normal person would know that the further away from her the better.
To put it bluntly, what is the relationship between Ying Yao and her? Because of her sister's life-saving grace, she has helped her so many times, and this debt of gratitude should be repaid by now.
Thinking about his next move, Nanmen Jue chewed on his brain and let out a low laugh.
The overhead operating light flickered twice, perhaps because the previous combat forces had damaged its circuitry. With Nanmen Jue chuckling twice, it simply went out.
Even though it was daytime outside, the abandoned factory was dimly lit, eerily quiet, and filled with the stench of blood. There were corpses all around, and Nanmen Jue was eating their brains right next to them.
She acted quickly, and after finishing her meal, she stood up as if nothing had happened. She ignored Zhang Zhi and went to release the crows.
The crow's black bean-like eyes kept staring at her, and as soon as it was released from its cage, it flew to her shoulder and perched there.
"How many more days?" Nanmen Jue murmured, and before anyone could answer, she continued, "Eight days."
Eight days is enough.
Just as Ying Yao was about to speak, he heard Nanmen Jue say again, "No, no, it's that I'm leaving this world... not death, well, you'll see when the time comes."
A chilling feeling gradually rose within Ying Yao; he knew what had happened to Nanmen Jue.
In her mind, Zhang Zhi had been "resurrected".
Just like in the legends of Eastern culture, a person who dies full of resentment will become a vengeful ghost, haunting the person who killed him for all eternity. That prop transferred that resentment to the person who ate his brain. Nanmen Jue should now have all of Zhang Zhi's memories and be attacked by her at all times.
Ying Yao rummaged through his bag, and while Nanmen Jue was talking to himself, he took out something that looked like a mask and handed it to Nanmen Jue.
Nanmenjue glanced at him in surprise, both surprised that he hadn't left yet and surprised that he was still giving her things, like a worried old bird that had gone out hunting and returned to feed its young.
She reached out and touched the mask.
Anti-attack mask, blue item. It can filter some mental attacks when used. The usage time depends on the durability. The side effect is that the pain sensation will be quadrupled when using it.
What a worrywart!
Nanmen Jue smiled slightly and pushed the mask back to him, "Thanks, but I don't need it."
Ying Yao said, "You don't need to return anything I give you."
Nanmen Jue gave him a rather complicated look. "Zhang Zhi didn't attack me, so I don't need this."
"She didn't attack you?" Ying Yao asked, his surprise barely concealed. "No one can resist the effects of props."
"Who told you it was impossible? Was it the description from the Supreme God? That thing even told you that these worlds are all virtual." Nanmen Jue laughed again. "Zhang Zhi is a good child."
“This isn’t right…” Ying Yao pondered for a moment, “There’s only one possibility: Zhang Zhi’s mental power is so strong that it exceeds the limitations of the tool. How is that possible? This is a world without superpowers!”
Nanmen Jue gave him a meaningful smile, then turned and walked out.
Ying Yao followed, "What are you going to do?"
"Do you know where the spore mother is?" Nanmenjue asked in a light tone.
Ying Yao paused, but she seemed oblivious and continued speaking to herself, "It's on the seabed, not too far from here, but I only know the general location. It will take some effort to find it."
Ying Yao stopped in his tracks, watching Nanmen Jue stride away. His mechanical voice changed, "You're looking for the Spore Mother?"
Nanmen Jue stopped in her tracks, looked up at the blinding sunlight, and sighed softly, "I should have looked a long time ago."
She continued forward, and Ying Yao shouted loudly from behind.
"Nanmen Jue!"
He had never lost his composure like this before.
"Do you know what you're saying? The Spore Mother is the top combat force in this world. In a world where Jinming appears, its top combat force is not something that reincarnators can contend with."
Nanmen Jue seemed not to hear.
Ying Yao rushed over and blocked Nanmen Jue's path.
“I won’t let you go. With Zhang Zhi’s mental strength as a comparison, the Spore Mother has likely already transcended the monster realm and is approaching some kind of 'concept.' Going there would be suicide!”
“Have you forgotten something?” Nanmen Jue pointed to his temple. “I didn’t go looking for it by myself.”
"Zhang Zhi?" Ying Yao was even more puzzled. "You want to obtain Zhang Zhi's abilities, which means you need to find the Spore Mother? What exactly... do you want to do?"
He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his tone softened.
He thought of the legend about Nanmen Jue.
The fact that Nanmen Jue killed all the reincarnators from the same world and destroyed a reincarnation world was known to everyone in the entire reincarnation space, but when he saw Nanmen Jue with his own eyes, he could not reconcile her with such rumors.
But how can we explain Nanmenjue's current behavior?
Nanmen Jue looked at him with a faint smile on his lips, "Scared? You'd better find a place to hide, otherwise, once the killing begins, your injured body will be in real danger."
Ying Yao said softly, "I don't believe it... Nanmen Jue, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"You don't believe me? Why don't you believe me?" Nanmen Jue laughed loudly. "You've only known me for a short time, and you're already talking about whether you believe in this kind of thing. Even if you dare to believe it, I don't dare to listen."
Ying Yao remained silent. He took a step back, and under Nanmen Jue's intrigued gaze, he flicked his wrist, and the familiar lightsaber appeared. This time, it wasn't pointed at the enemy, but rather placed in front of Nanmen Jue.
“No matter what you’re thinking, I won’t let you leave here,” Ying Yao said. “Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to Nanmen Yu.”
Nanmen Jue was not surprised by his behavior, but said meaningfully, "You really are deeply in love with my sister."
“I’ve said it before, she and I aren’t in that kind of relationship.” Ying Yao held the lightsaber horizontally in front of him, revealing beautifully shaped fingers and wrist bones. “The gap between us is huge now. Even if I’m injured, it’s impossible for you to break through my defenses.”
Nanmen Jue gave him a deep look and said calmly, "Who said I was going to fight you myself?"
Ying Yao sensed something was wrong and suddenly looked up!
Nanmen Jue snapped his fingers, and suddenly the earth shook and the ground cracked. A ferocious head, resembling both a dragon and a snake, sprang up from the crack and bit at Ying Yao!
