Chapter 2509: Stop Trying to Brainwash Me!
Ning Shu didn’t believe that 2333 had no way to save Luo Jiang’s parents’ souls.
“We shouldn’t involve innocent people. It’ll cost me a lot again.” Merit points were painstakingly hard to earn, but always got deducted a huge bunch at a time.
Ning Shu was very, very distressed.
If she didn’t have enough merit points, how could she become an ultra task-taker?
“I don’t have much energy, you know,” 2333 said.
“What do you not get? Think about it. If Luo Jiang can’t sacrifice his biological parents’ souls then he has no use and no value to the system. The system will definitely detach from him.
“Once the system has detached from him, you can attack it. Then you can devour its fortune, its heavenly laws, and energy, which will help improve your own data. No matter how you look at it, you will benefit from doing this, won’t you?”
“Stop trying to brainwash me!”
“I’m just laying it out for you!
“So, tell me. Is there any way?” Ning Shu asked. She had realized that she didn’t have a way to detain people’s souls right now.
If she let the soul temporarily leave the body…
She could try using the Mt. Mao Daoist method, but this plane greatly suppressed those abilities.
After all, it was a modern plane.
She wanted to have the souls of Luo Jiang’s parents leave their bodies temporarily.
However, without their bodies, where were their souls supposed to go?
Ning Shu had never attempted such a thing before.
“If Luo Jiang really sacrificed his parents’ souls, I will take their souls just before the beauty take down system absorbs them,” 2333 replied.
“Will that work?” Ning Shu was a little skeptical. “Can’t you take their souls in advance? Do you have to wait until the take down system is about to absorb it?”
What if 2333 failed to take their souls before the take down system stole them?
“I can’t take away people’s souls directly. It’s against the rules, and I’ll get eliminated. Besides, I have nothing to do with the Luo family. If I directly take their souls like that, even if I have good intentions, I will die. Miserably.”
Ning Shu let out a long breath. Since that was the rule, fine, then.
So there was no choice but to wait. Everything now depended on whether Luo Jiang would sacrifice his parents’ souls.
Ning Shu was ready for it. She asked 2333 to be constantly alert as well.
Ning Shu made speculations based on Luo Jiang’s behavior.
There was an 80% probability of Luo Jiang sacrificing his parents’ souls.
He was clearly showing filial piety and acting like a good child in preparation for his parents’ passing.
Luo Jiang, who had struggled for a long time, couldn’t make up his mind.
They were his parents. How could he sacrifice them?
However, Luo Jiang was eager to change his current situation.
The beautiful nurse treated him coldly because of his little brother’s condition.
She was always polite, but Luo Jiang still felt like she was ridiculing him.
He had always been a sensitive person and now, he wished he could just cover up his face whenever he headed out so that he wouldn’t be seen.
Sometimes, when he passed by a group of girls who were chatting and laughing, Luo Jiang would feel like they were laughing at him.
If this continued on, Luo Jiang was sure that he’d go insane.
His world had collapsed around him.
He was even more embarrassed to appear in front of the beautiful doctor. The last time he went to get a prescription, the beautiful doctor politely indicated for him to pay her back for the hospitalization fee.
Luo Jiang didn’t have such money. Moreover, he was very angry and embarrassed to be put in such a situation.
He had thought that the beautiful doctor was different from those other materialistic women, but it turned out that she was just like them.
It was so disappointing. Now that he was downtrodden, she wanted to cut her ties with him.
