Chapter 1720: The Passage of Reincarnation
The bodies of the surviving club members started to slowly petrify, finally becoming human statues. Then, their souls floated out from the stone statues. Every single one of them had become a spiritual body.
Ning Shu also returned to her original appearance. All the task-takers were restored.
Lu Shanshan was dressed in an elegant ancient costume. There was no need to mention her beauty.
“Wow, you guys have nice souls. If I knew earlier, I would have devoured you first,” said Pan Chen in a depressed tone.
The uncle pointed his finger in the air, and a black hole slowly started emerging from his fingertip. Once the black hole appeared, these souls immediately scrambled to float towards it.
The black hole gradually shrunk and finally disappeared.
Ning Shu had seen this kind of black hole when she was transcending people as a Mt. Mao Daoist priest.
“What was that?” Ning Shu asked 795.
“The passage of reincarnation. Since these people have died, they naturally have to enter the reincarnation cycle,” said 795.
Ning Shu: …
What the hell? He was able to invoke the passage of reincarnation that easily?
Ning Shu forced a polite smile. From now on she should really stay away from the uncle. Who knew if he would suddenly kick her into the path of reincarnation?
“Go back,” said the uncle indifferently.
Ning Shu suddenly felt a bout of dizziness. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a room in the fabricated space.
She let out a long breath and looked down to see her soul had darkened a lot.
“Is everything okay?” Mei Ziqing asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu turned her head. She saw Mei Ziqing and asked in surprise, “You’ve been waiting here?”
“Well, the task won’t be complete until you guys come back,” said Mei Ziqing.
Ning Shu asked in confusion, “Isn’t there an upgraded version of the protective talisman? Why don’t you exchange one?”
Mei Ziqing said somewhat helplessly, “I’ve been stuck as an advanced task-taker for a long time. I have to save as much merit as possible to level up.”
Seeing Ning Shu nod, Mei Ziqing said, “Then, I’ll leave first. I have to go see how much merit I got this time. But I died early, so I guess there won’t be much. I still have to do such tasks. It seems like I have to get my hands on a few upgraded protective talismans. Sigh…”
When Mei Ziqing finished the sentence, her body had disappeared.
795 said to Ning Shu, “2333, I’m also leaving. Add my number. If there’s an opportunity in the future, let’s cooperate again.”
“Sure.”
Once the task-takers departed, only Zhang Jiasen, the uncle, 496, and Ning Shu were left behind in the room.
Zhang Jiasen’s soul was incomparably transparent, as if it was about to dissipate. It seemed that the two possessions had cost him no small price.
If Ning Shu used a little prop, she might be able to make Zhang Jiasen completely vanish.
Zhang Jiasen keenly sensed Ning Shu’s malicious gaze. He gave her a look and disappeared.
496 said to the uncle, “Can you give me a small piece of that stone?”
The uncle said indifferently, “No.”
496 was a little discouraged. “Then, can you show it to me? I’ll just take a look. I haven’t seen this kind of stone before.”
“No.”
“Can’t I even just look at it?”
It seemed like 496 was trying to act spoiled in front of the uncle again despite the embarrassment. It was so strange. Still, the uncle had really good determination. Even in the face of such a beauty, he wore a cold look.
After getting rejected, 496’s facial color looked a little bad. She stared at the indifferent first-generation task-taker and felt exasperated. Nonetheless, she was still full of fighting spirit.
Ning Shu felt that it was best not to stay here. She mentally called out to 2333, “Head back to the system space.”
“Yes…” The previously dead 2333 finally responded.
Ning Shu felt another bout of dizziness as she left the virtual space.
