Chapter 744 -637 Xu Shuo/Luo Kai: Eating Melon

In the Script Space, the first time Xu Shuo felt threatened was when he faced Xuena’s mirror.

At that time, he intended to use Xuena as a sacrifice and lure the Evil God into the world by pushing her into the Blood Pool. Cornered, Xuena pulled out that archaically shaped copper mirror.

Even when faced with a group of madmen in the mental hospital, Xu Shuo managed quite well.

But upon touching the mirror, the sudden surge of an eerie sensation made him reflexively move away from the reflection.

The mirror had revealed his true appearance behind the disguise of the character Qiuzi, but Xu Shuo also had another strange feeling.

Continuing to expose himself to the mirror might cause problems.

Last time, he had avoided it reflexively.

But afterwards, Xu Shuo’s curiosity was piqued.

That object seemed designed to absorb negative energy, but just that alone shouldn’t have made him experience the strange threat.

This copper mirror, whether it was the Abyss Darkness invading the host’s spiritual power or the outer Evil God, dared to absorb both.

And currently, Shao Dandan is only a Level 2 player, which shows that she must have obtained this artifact at either the Level 1 or Level 2 stage.

It’s not just an empty saying that low ranks can yield Divine Artifacts.

It’s no wonder some players prefer to use “soul fruits” to reset their attributes, just to start from scratch and access certain rewards available only at lower levels.

Clearly, this copper mirror seemed no weaker than Doctor Chu’s fruit knife, likely an item that a player who has started over would want to get their hands on.

So Xu Shuo was really curious.

But seeing Shao Dandan’s protective stance, she probably wouldn’t even let him touch it.

…

Actually, under normal circumstances, Shao Dandan really wouldn’t mind offering a lifesaver, not to mention a player who is clearly (not) stronger (more trouble) than herself (better not provoke), a touch of the artifact.

After all, it was a contracted artifact; others couldn’t use it even if they took it.

But unfortunately, this guy seemed to not only want to touch it but also to take it away even if it was of no use…

“Thank… thank you?”

At this moment, faced with the familiar face she had seen for three years in the dorm, Shao Dandan regained her senses and promptly found herself an excuse for her previous overreaction.

Don’t expect the bigshot to give you an out; as weak people, find your own way out.

After hurriedly saying her thanks, she quickly added, “You must be the reinforcements called by the Safety Bureau, right? This place is a Level 4 Abyss, I can’t handle it.”

Luo Kai had just stepped onto the roller coaster and, hearing her words, sized her up before saying, “You should go out first.”

Asking a Level 2 player to handle this was indeed too much of a stretch.

Feeling relieved, Shao Dandan turned to look at the entrance of the roller coaster, only to see their area apparently cleared by an invisible force. The Dark Storms raged in the sky but couldn’t squeeze in even slightly.

She couldn’t tell which of the two’s ability it was, but seeing no obstacles on the path to the entrance, she quickly ran with the copper mirror in tow.

Once she left, Xu Shuo reduced the scope of the spiritual power barrier, leaving just enough space to accommodate two people; the entire roller coaster area was instantly shrouded in darkness again.

“It wasn’t obvious before, but now it seems that your spiritual power is indeed vast,” Luo Kai said with ambiguous implication.

Xu Shuo laughed: “Envious, huh? Too bad you can’t learn it.”

Luo Kai: “…”

He was genuinely holding back his breath, feeling somewhat annoyed as he clicked his tongue and stepped out from the coverage of the spiritual power barrier, drawing his Patterned Han Sword.

The surrounding Darkness swarmed toward him, but Luo Kai emitted a blazing light from his body. The Darkness he touched churned violently, and the burning flames were intermittently visible in a thick layer of pitch-black.

Xu Shuo disliked having these disgusting things come close, so he sustained a barrier like a halo, moving like a sphere of light in the darkness.

“Did you find the source?” Xu Shuo followed and asked.

“A few years ago, an accident happened on the roller coaster; a tourist was flung out of the carriage, landing in the bushes below,” Luo Kai stated noncommittally, while heading down toward the bushes under the tracks, mentioning the likely events that had triggered the negative energy of the Abyss.

He proceeded with caution, fearing neither the Level 4 Abyss’s interference with spiritual power nor the Darkness’s erosion of his flesh and blood, but monsters in the dark were a different story.

Suddenly, Luo Kai paused in his steps.

At this moment, Xu Shuo laughed, saying, “You just stepped on someone’s hand.”

Luo Kai immediately jumped back a step, the fiery light illuminating the ground, and saw a pitch-black hand breaking through the soil in the bushes.

Just as his foot was passing by, the hand emerged, and Luo Kai’s step charred it.

The hand was a severed limb, a palm attached to half a forearm, the color of skin and flesh vaguely visible, but the cut end was oozing thick Dark Matter, and the four outstretched fingers, stepped on by Luo Kai, were now emitting black smoke.

“Idiot?!”

Luo Kai stabbed his sword into the palm, pinning it firmly to the ground as flames began to scorch it.

The palm struggled violently, and a screeching could be heard echoing directly in their minds; malice burst out from the darkness, heading towards them, making the air around extremely sticky and dense.

However, Luo Kai suddenly turned to Xu Shuo and said, “It was attracted by you, wasn’t it?”

Xu Shuo disagreed: “What does it have to do with me? You’re the one walking in front, you’re the one who stepped on it, so why is the blame on me?”
