Chapter 1677: Just Worry About Yourself
The ultra task-taker kept looking at Ning Shu. She frowned as she asked Ning Shu, “Do you not want to go? If you don’t want to go, say so before it’s too late so we can find someone else.”
Was that possible?
Ning Shu was about to speak when Mei Ziqing jabbed her again, so she immediately said, “I want to go.”
“Don’t force yourself if you don’t want to go.” The ultra task-taker said. Her voice was so beautiful that even Ning Shu, a woman, felt her heart flutter as she listened.
She was like a petite beauty that had stepped straight out of a painting. Her posture was natural, her aura captivating, and every feature of hers seemed to be perfect strokes from a brush.
Just looking at her beautiful features made people feel soothed. After all, everyone liked looking at beautiful things.
“I think she’s quite suitable. You should just come with us.” The man who had been arguing with the ultra task-taker said this to Ning Shu.
He was just purposely provoking the ultra task-taker.
Ning Shu saw that everyone in the room was looking at her. She was already halfway in, if she really left, it would be awkward to re-encounter these people again, especially Mei Ziqing who had brought her here.
Ning Shu shook her head. “I’m not forcing myself, I’m just worried I’ll end up dragging everyone down with my incompetence.”
The uncle pushed up his golden-rimmed glasses. “Those who aren’t capable enough deserve to be eliminated. Just worry about yourself, no one else is any of your business.”
Ning Shu: →_→
What did he mean? Wasn’t the point of making a group so that we help each other out?
Aaah, she really didn’t want to go.
“Enter the task.” The uncle was the first to disappear, and the tense atmosphere in the room loosened up a bit.
Ning Shu wipe at her cold sweat and whispered towards Mei Ziqing, “Who is that person?”
“I heard he’s a first generation task-taker, that he had existed ever since the planes first formed,” said Mei Ziqing, patting at her heart. “He can decide the life and death of ordinary task-takers.”
Damn, the uncle was older than she had thought!
The ultra task-taker also quickly disappeared after the uncle left, apparently entering the task.
The people in the house disappeared one after another. Mei Ziqing said, “You should also hurry and enter the task.”
Mei Ziqing then disappeared.
Ning Shu and Zhang Jiasen were the only ones left in the room.
Zhang Jiasen said, “You hate me a lot?”
“Yes.” Ning Shu nodded and said inwardly to 2333, “Enter the task.”
Ning Shu disappeared from the room. Zhang Jiasen pressed his lips together and disappeared as well.
The room, which had been rather crowded before, was now empty.
Ning Shu felt like she was entering a body, but she couldn’t merge with the body for a long time.
This was the first time Ning Shu had ever encountered such a situation. After finally squeezing into the body, Ning Shu opened her eyes and saw a mottled ceiling that had some water-soaked marks.
Ning Shu looked around and found that there were a few girls lying on a large brick bed, sleeping soundly.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but wrap the blanket tighter around herself. She felt like there was a chill seeping into her bones as wind howled loudly outside the window.
Ning Shu was so cold she was shivering. She sniffled hard before starting to receive the storyline.
The body’s name was Tang Shimin. She was a sophomore in college and a member of the traditional painting club. During winter break, the thirty or so members of the traditional painting club had gathered to collect local cultural materials and went to a mountain village in a remote area.
In the end, all of the students died mysteriously.
Everyone died, so it was unknown who the killer was.
