? ? ?
On the one hand, Shen Ling admired His Highness's composure.
On the other hand, although I was extremely worried,... the pain of my soul being torn apart was too much.
Her only way to protect herself was to release poisonous insects and powder to destroy enemies within a certain radius.
But this was the safe palace of the prince, and besides the imperial physician, there were also Youyou and Luming, who had followed her for many years.
She didn't need to let these people die.
So... she could only watch helplessly as His Highness left the room with the parchment scroll, and then Youyou lowered the bed curtains. She stretched out a hand from inside the curtains and placed it on the stool beside the bed, where the imperial physician made a diagnosis.
"I hope... Your Highness will have a way..." For some reason, Shen Ling felt a little trust in His Highness at this moment.
Perhaps it's because His Highness once saved the people from famine in Jiangnan, and wouldn't abandon the suffering of the people.
Perhaps it was because His Highness remained calm and composed in the face of the Empress Dowager's massive army during her coup, and ultimately turned the tables and killed the Empress Dowager.
Perhaps it was because they won against overwhelming odds in border wars, repelling the enemy and safeguarding the integrity of the territory...
Or perhaps,
It was during her most vulnerable and helpless moment, when she never imagined anyone would appear by her side to protect her.
His Highness has appeared.
Then, gently, he pulled her into his arms.
She hates His Highness.
But she knew that His Highness was very powerful.
It can do many things.
Your Highness is so calm in the face of the parchment scroll; perhaps Your Highness really does have a solution?
At this moment... Shen Ling is on the same side as Gu Mu, after all, they have a common enemy with a very high priority, which is the parchment scroll.
"Your Highness... I hope you can resolve this..." Shen Ling thought silently to herself, then gently closed her eyes.
Gu Mu left with the parchment scroll because he wanted to try putting it in his inventory.
But for something to disappear into thin air like this would inevitably frighten everyone in the Prince's Palace.
So Gu Mu went to his study and closed the door.
As he walked to his study, the voice in his head indeed grew louder.
It seems his guess was correct; the voice would become more and more seductive and have a deeper impact on the soul over time.
"Hunger...kills..."
"Hunger...kills..."
It seems this needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Gu Mu was alone in the study.
Gu Mu tried to put the parchment scroll into his inventory.
All the system reward items that Gu Mu obtained were placed in the inventory at the top, which is specifically for storing system reward items, and there is no limit to the number.
In addition, there are ten slots at the bottom where you can put real-world items.
At this moment, Gu Mu only placed a tiger tally.
Logically, the parchment should have appeared in the inventory as soon as Gu Mu made his decision.
But... Gu Mu couldn't put it inside!
Then there's only one possibility...
This parchment is not just an object; it has its own consciousness...
The item slots can only hold inanimate objects; anything conscious is not within Gu Mu's storage range.
Otherwise, if Gu Mu were to get into a fight and couldn't win, wouldn't it be incredibly powerful to simply store the opponent in his inventory?
This parchment scroll...
It is alive.
Gu Mu quickly realized this.
At this moment, the voice in my mind grew louder and louder.
The pain of my soul being torn apart became more and more pronounced.
"You little brat, do you think you're so powerful that I can't deal with you?" Gu Mu said coldly, sensing the arrogance of the parchment scroll.
If he can't put items into his inventory, he still has Hidden City.
He now needs to conduct an experiment: whether the parchment can still affect him when he is far away from it, even in a different space.
Therefore, he used his consciousness to enter the Hidden City and opened the entrance to it.
Then, amidst a vast expanse of white, I stepped into the hidden city.
Gu Mu tossed the parchment scroll into the Hidden City alone, then retreated.
At first, the voice in my head was still ringing, but it gradually faded away.
But it didn't disappear; instead, it weakened to a certain point and maintained its balance, continuing to say in this tone, "Hungry...hungry..."
"Hungry...hungry..."
It's very stable; I didn't feel any significant increase, but it definitely didn't disappear.
However, this level of impact wouldn't have a significant effect on Gu Mu.
After several rounds of back-and-forth trips,
Gu Mu quickly understood the pattern in the parchment scroll.
That is,
The closer the parchment scroll is, the faster the sound will grow.
When the parchment is imprisoned in the hidden city, its influence will gradually diminish, but it will not disappear.
It's just that the growth rate has become very slow.
