Chapter 67: Speculation, Curse Crystal, and the Three Ghost Families

"This...isn't it? This shouldn't be..."

Looking at the golden liquid that seeped into his crotch, Xu Shu was confused and uncertain.

Over the past few days, he has gone from being a newbie in the wasteland to being considered the little overlord of the wasteland. The number of monsters he has killed is definitely not small.

However, there has never been a time when a monster was killed, where a liquid-like light was absorbed by the upgrade drive from the erosion crystal.

There was once, and that was the only time, when the Alliance wanted criminal, Lu Bingwei, was killed.

But, that golden liquid at that time should have been some kind of information, right?

Xu Shu still remembers that after that, he opened the upgrade driver and saw several emails.

The golden light jumped out from Lu Bingwei's upgrade drive.

But this one...

"Why? Does killing high-level monsters also have corresponding achievements?"

With this suspicion, Xu Shu saw that there was no one around, so he moved his second brother and opened the upgraded network interface.

I saw that there were indeed a few more lines of information in the lower left corner.

[You have defeated/killed other extraordinary people. You can freely choose whether to upload your record to the upgrade network. Excellent records have the opportunity to improve your ranking. ]

[Your current ranking: No. 438 on the Rising Stars List, nickname: Iron-clad Bull, Gu Pan]

[You have picked up the upgrade drive of another extraordinary person... The data is wrong, there is no valid information... Requesting array correction... Correction completed. ]

[You picked up the spell crystal of another extraordinary person. The other party's identity is: blank, not an upgraded extraordinary person registered on the network. ]

[Information input completed: Yang Manman, first-level unclean.]

hold head high?
Curse crystal? What is it?
So, isn't this thing just an ordinary erosion crystal?
Also, for those who are unclean, what is the path?

Xu Shu had been lurking on Shengge Network for such a long time, but this was the first time he heard of this profession.

Considering that Yang Manman was not a monster but a first-level extraordinary being whose occupation was "Unclean", Xu Shu couldn't help but have some speculations.

"The bodies of ordinary extraordinary people contain curse marks, such as me and Lu Bingwei. However, the curse marks did not appear after Lu Bingwei's death. This shows that the curse marks of normal extraordinary people decay along with their bodies after death and cannot be extracted."

"Only the erosion crystals in the monsters are independent individuals. If we kill them, we can take the erosion crystals."

"So, this curse crystal is something between the erosion crystal and the curse seal?"

Xu Shu was playing with the blue crystal in his hand and felt a burning sensation. It was quite similar to the Black Widow's curse he had obtained before.

They feel very similar and are both very hot.

However, there was no similar feeling when I touched the erosion crystal before.

Although the erosion crystals also contain "curse erosion factors", they can be swallowed by the curse seal and used for upgrading.

"Why did you mistake the curse crystal for the upgrade drive at first? Is there a bug?"

"Strange, it seems that there are still many secrets hidden in the extraordinary path that I don't know about... Damn Riddler."

Xu Shu seemed to be thinking about something, but his previous doubts were still not answered.

That is, why was Yang Manman not sacrificed?
Since Lie Zhenzi believes that Yang Manman is not a monster and she is still a human being, why doesn't she accept my sacrifice?

Or is it that the array is particularly merciful to the extraordinary people and only allows ordinary people to be sacrificed, while extraordinary people cannot be sacrificed?

This explanation is also very strange, because if the quality of the sacrifice is judged by the strength of its vitality, then the vitality of a transcendental person is naturally much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Since the array has already accepted the sacrifice of life, there should not be such double standard judgment.

Xu Shu was confused and scraped the ground with his feet a few times. When he kicked all the remaining corpses to the middle, he had another idea.

"Perhaps, a crystallized transcendent like Yang Manman is already somewhere between a monster and a human."

"Ah, right!"

Xu Shu thought of something, opened the pinned post [Alliance of Human Supernatural Beings (Must-Read for Newbies)], and scrolled to the bottom one.

I saw that it was written:

*Newbies, if you see extraordinary people of the following three professions, be sure to treat them with caution: aliens, demons, and evil spirits; remember that they are no longer human.

-

"I see! It seems that Yang Manman is one of the three."

"I originally thought that what this Master Dongxuan, Melanie, said was just an angry remark, a curse similar to 'You are not a fucking human', but I didn't expect it to be a declarative sentence."

"Unfortunately, without the Taichu Volume to assist me in the journey simulation, I cannot tell which path she belongs to."

Xu Shu suddenly understood.

The state that Yang Manman showed just now was completely crazy. She killed her father and even ate her biological father's egg white.

Those were her unborn brothers and sisters. She was really no different from a monster by behaving like this.

Yang Manman is really not a human being.

"Neither a human nor a complete monster, hehe, interesting."

Xu Shu shook his head, looked at the two scattered hemp ropes on the ground, and suddenly sighed.

He picked up a torch and pushed the bodies of Yang Chong and Yang Manman and the two bundles of hemp ropes on the ground into the fire, and they started burning fiercely.

"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God! You two unlucky guys, don't blame me for not saving you, it's just that the monster is too powerful."

"If I hadn't been so careful, I would have been killed and ended up like you, with no intact body."

"If you want to blame someone, just blame yourselves for being too weak, and these monsters for being too treacherous and cunning."

"We just met by chance and didn't know each other at all. I'm burning the bodies of Yang Chong and Yang Manman as your cenotaphs. I've done my best and you can rest in peace. I hope you'll be reborn into a good family in your next life and live in a safe zone."

"May the array bless you, well, well - Amen."

Xu Shu used a variety of blessings and made the sign of the cross on his chest in a formal manner to pray for the two poor souls to be reborn.

After the body was completely burned, leaving only some white bones, Xu Shu was completely relieved. He went into the room that Yang had just rushed out of to see if there was anything valuable inside.

But after entering, I found that the room was decorated like a girl's boudoir, and the sofa on one side was filled with cute pink plush toys.

In addition, the room was filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine and the stench of feces and urine, and there was a convenient shit pot under the bed.

A strange room that was both warm and smelled of shit was born.

There is a thick, yellowed diary on the table.

Xu Shu covered his nose and flipped through the book casually.

The first sentence of the opening:
"On August 2124, , a calamity struck the sky, destroying the world. Too many people died, and my wife also died from radiation infection. Fortunately, Manman survived, but since she saw that thing, she seems to have suffered brain trauma.

"Dad will definitely save you, no matter what the cost, Manman."

This should have been written by Yang Chong, and the handwriting is very neat and regular.

What is recorded later are all the trivial matters of taking care of his paralyzed daughter over the years. There is nothing noteworthy.

As for how he got to know this strange church, and how he degenerated from a highly respected old principal into a cultist who regarded human life as worthless, there is no record of this.

It seems that even Yang Chong himself must have known long ago that what he believed in was not the right way.

"Oh, he's a good father, but not a good person."

Xu Shu closed the diary, took it out, threw it into the fire, and burned it together with their ashes.

*
Next, Xu Shu left the underground garage and broke the entrance door.

Then he returned to the room he had just stayed in and called Gu Pan.

"Hello, Gu Pan."

"What are you doing?" Gu Pan woke up with a start, and quickly curled up on the bed, his hands rustling in the quilt, no one knew what he was doing.

"Get up, something big has happened!"

Xu Shu pried open her door with force and found that when she turned over, her large, white and round breasts flashed by briefly, but it was too dark to see clearly.

When she got out of bed, her chest became flat again.

"How magical! Is this chest wrap a cursed tool? I wonder if she is willing to give it to me?" Xu Shu was suspicious.

"What's the matter?" Upon hearing what happened, Gu Pan did not bother to ask him why he was so reckless, and immediately became alert.

Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "The leader of this shelter is that old man Yang Chong. You still remember him, right?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"His daughter got a strange disease. In order to save his daughter, he performed a cult sacrifice in the underground garage and summoned a strange magic circle, which turned his daughter into a monster." Xu Shu described it as briefly as possible.

"What the fuck?!"

After hearing this, Gu Pan jumped up and said, "What? Cult sacrifice? And it succeeded? Quick, quick, we have to go. If we stay here, we will all die!"

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet..." Xu Shu hurriedly grabbed her.

"What do you mean don't worry? You don't understand the horror of cult sacrifices. Even a third-level transcendent would most likely die if he encountered something like this.

"Trust me, I won't hurt you, brother. Let's run first."

Gu Pan analyzed the situation calmly, but in fact he was so frightened that his hair stood on end. How could this person act as if nothing was a big deal?
But she was no match for Xu Shu in strength, and was pinned down on the bed by Xu Shu.

Xu Shu said, "Don't worry, don't worry. They didn't succeed. I have killed them all. The problem is solved. However, there may be their accomplices in this shelter, so don't make it public for now."

"……Oh."

Gu Pan looked at him blankly, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Damn it, you're going to scare people to death when you're talking halfway, okay! ?
Suddenly, her eyes were slightly puzzled: "You killed them all? Didn't you just say that one of them, someone's daughter, turned into a monster?"

"Yes, I also killed Yang Chong's daughter. I woke you up just to ask you something."

Xu Shu took out a blue curse crystal wrapped in cloth.

"Fuck! Curse Crystal?!" Gu Pan widened his eyes.

"You really know her? That's great." Xu Shu couldn't help but compliment her upon hearing this, and then asked, "After I killed her, the upgrade drive determined that she was not a monster, but a transcendent called [Unclean One]. Do you know what this path is?

"And this curse crystal, can it be used to upgrade me like the erosion crystal?"

"Hey, I'm asking you a question. Why do you look like your parents are dead?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Shu couldn't help but shook her shoulders.

However, at this moment, Gu Pan had completely fallen into dementia.

Her attention was attracted by the fifteen distinctly rooted flocs and some flashing strange spells inside the curse crystal.

"Level 15! It's really level 15..."

"He has only been a transcendent for three days? No, four days?"

"Four days, while other extraordinary people are still nursing their wounds, he has already killed a level 4 enemy alone, and that was an unclean person from the third path of the treacherous way, the most difficult kind to deal with..."

"Hehe, hehehe..."

Gu Pan suddenly looked up to the sky, took a long breath, closed his eyes, and turned down the corners of his mouth, revealing a heartbroken expression.

"If you can upgrade it, go ahead and use it. Don't disturb me while I sleep in."

After saying that, she turned around and crawled into the bed, covering her head, with tears of despair streaming down her face.

It's over, it's over.

I can't beat him at all.

　Actually, I originally wrote three ghosts in the outline, but I found that I couldn’t write ghosts~
　　After thinking about it, it seems that using Gui would be the same, and might have a better effect, so let's use Gui.

　　Godfathers, come and support us!
