Chapter 225: Goodbye
As expected...
This aged woman was a hidden threat in the mission. She was an NPC and was limited by the rules. She could only make a move when she was alone with another player.
“Is that so...” Leaning on the wall, Chen Ran laughed weakly.
Jiang Cheng ignored him. Compared to Chen Ran’s death, Jiang Cheng was more concerned about how to survive. Plus... it was too quiet outside. He wondered if Fatty had encountered some troubles.
“Wait...” Chen Ran’s voice floated over. Jiang Cheng frowned as he turned around. Could he have more things to say? Even though he knew it was just a waste of time, Jiang Cheng still paused to stare at this problematic man as if waiting for him to continue.
“Brother Hao,” Chen Ran grinned, “Are you... leaving just like that? Aren’t you worried this thing is not going to work on me for long, and I’d recover and stab this old lady to death?” He lifted his head with difficulty. His eyes still glowed with arrogance. It was like... their positions had been switched, and he was the one who had cornered Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng stared at him. “So...”
“I suggest you do not hold kindness in your heart.” He coughed a few more times. His face was red. There was a clear issue with his breathing as well. The strange substance slathered on the dagger seemed to possess other effects. “You better take away my daggers and chop off my arms. It’s best... if you can take away my legs too.” A few seconds later, Chen Ran laughed through gasps of breaths. “If possible, I need you to dig out my eyes and sever my tongue. Turn me... into a person who can’t see, fight and run away.” He suggested, “That’s the safest.”
“What kind of hatred do you have with your body?” Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes. The danger rating of Chen Ran greatly increased in his heart. There was no lack of mad people in the nightmare realm. This place was a theme park for them. However, Chen Ran was a unique brand of madness.
Jiang Cheng didn’t expect this man to be harsh to others and harsher to himself. When their eyes met, Jiang Cheng didn’t see fear in his eyes. He was open regarding his impending doom.
Be it good or bad people, their morality had no connection to their survival. The only thing that could help their survivability was a calm and clever brain. And... luck. That was very important.
When he turned and saw the wounds on Jiang Cheng, he gasped, “Doctor, you’re injured!”
“These won’t kill me.” Jiang Cheng interrupted him and rubbed his face with the back of his hand, “I’ve dealt with Chen Ran. We’ll enter the room to view the results in a bit.”
Fatty’s face glowed and said excitedly, “Doctor, did you manage to ambush him?!”
Jiang Cheng tutted and glared at Fatty, “What ambush? He clearly couldn’t beat me in a fight. I’ll tell you the truth. I even held back by only using one arm and one leg in the fight.”
Fatty didn’t care about the details because he was used to the Doctor rambling. He lowered his voice to ask, “Doctor, do you mean the aged woman... will deal with him for us?”
“Yes.”
“Then....” Fatty asked, “What should we do after that?”
Jiang Cheng used the time to catch Fatty up on his understanding of this mission. Fatty shivered multiple times. He looked at the Doctor and said weakly, “Doctor, I can understand that the woman is an NPC... but isn’t it a bit too much to say that she’s a part of the curse?” Fatty regarded him with confusion, “Plus, you said that woman in the white dress at the stone plate...”
“The priest,” Jiang Cheng added.
“Yes, the white-dressed priest is the aged woman. What do you mean by that?” Fatty blinked at him. “I saw her clearly at the stone plate. She was incredibly beautiful and young. She didn’t look like the aged woman at all!”
After spending so much time with Chen Ran, Jiang Cheng suddenly had a whiplash when interacting with Fatty. “It has nothing to do with their looks.” Jiang Cheng shook his head. His tone became severe. “You can understand it... as a kind of inheritance.”
