Chapter 154: Fusion's Nightmare, Double Experience Card

The building was empty, the people gone.

Only Feng Yuhuai and the dry corpse beneath her remained, facing each other in silence amid a dead stillness, one eye staring into another.

Tear—

Fingernails dug into flesh and blood, gouging out a bloody eyeball, then stuffing it back into Feng Yuhuai's eye socket.

Inside the eye socket, fine red threads wriggled like worms and snakes, eerily and disgustingly adhering to the eyeball; gradually, within the pale, gloomy eyeball, rings of red threads slowly condensed, settled, and finally formed a deep, pitch-black pupil.

"Symmetrical now!"

Feng Yuhuai checked herself against her mobile phone screen, then deleted the group photo. jpg on the phone.

She lowered her head to gaze at the dry corpse at her feet, contemplated for a long while, finally steeled her resolve, and pulverized the corpse bit by bit into fine residue, then buried it in the surrounding chaotic piles of scrap.

She did not intend to put the 【Mask】's signature on this corpse, even though the latter was indeed killed by the real 【Mask·Zheng Hang】.

Night sky hung low; a faint mist permeated the girls' dormitory restroom.

Feng Yuhuai finished showering and stood before the mirror, carefully examining herself in the reflection.

Under the pale, cold light's reflection, her face revealed a subtle disharmony: the left cheek was gentle and smooth like spring water, while the right seemed veiled in a layer of imperceptible cold frost, exuding an indescribable stiffness and gloom.

And this was already her appearance after she had done her utmost to restrain her emotions and control her facial expression.

Feng Yuhuai irritably rubbed her cheeks hard, and a few unruly strands of hair were yanked out in her anxiety.

Afterward, she took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, slowly walked out of the restroom, burrowed back into the covers, and pulled the blanket over her head.

"The drawbacks of the body half-fused with the rag doll are even greater than I imagined; it's a bit troublesome."

Feng Yuhuai tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep; she distinctly felt her thinking had become sluggish, like groping in dense fog, no longer as sharp and clear as before.

"Yu Huai, where on earth did you go tonight?" Roommate Cui Cui lay lazily on the bed, swiping her mobile phone screen while asking curiously.

Feng Yuhuai answered: "I went back to….."

Feng Yuhuai's complexion suddenly changed, her voice becoming faint as a mosquito's buzz, as she whispered from under the covers: "I went home for a trip."

Cui Cui responded, her brows furrowing slightly, asking doubtfully: "Strange, Yu Huai, what's with your throat? I just seemed to hear a little girl's childish voice inside the room."

Feng Yuhuai coughed lightly, trying her best to make her voice sound natural, and replied to her roommate's doubt with focus: "Just a slight cold; you probably misheard."

Xiao Juan's voice trembled beside her, saying timidly: "But, I also seemed to hear a little girl speaking."

The atmosphere in the dormitory instantly turned eerily cold.

Feng Yuhuai spoke no more, letting her roommates exchange doubtful glances and whispered whispers.

Her temples throbbed as if struck by invisible hammers: "Does this mean from now on I must carefully control my expression and words every split second? Otherwise, the slightest carelessness will cause facial splitting, or produce a double voice?"

My brain's already been stuffed half full of cotton, become sluggish and insufficient, and on top of that I have to constantly allocate part of my memory to managing expression and speech?

Can you imagine Feng Yuhuai's despair at this moment?

With a buzz, the phone's vibration startled Feng Yuhuai from her contemplation.

The jumping text message on the screen met her eyes:

——Congratulations, Miss 【Mask】, you completed the game task I issued within the limited time. ——Then let us meet again when the next round of the game opens; wishing you a beautiful dream tonight~

Feng Yuhuai pulled the blanket tightly over her head, her face twisted, like a resentful, grief-stricken female ghost.

She gritted her teeth and secretly vowed that no matter what, she would find the guy hidden behind this text message.

But the problem is, her brain is severely insufficient right now; what can she do?

Feng Yuhuai's face twisted, she struggled to search for answers in the labyrinth of thought, but her brain seemed unwilling to cooperate.

The harder she tried to think, the more her brain swelled; the more her brain swelled, the more anxiously she thought; the hair under the covers even faintly smoked.

Finally, under this intense mental pressure, Feng Yuhuai felt a wave of dizziness, her consciousness gradually blurring. She fell into a heavy sleep, like a lone boat swallowed by the tide, drifting in the ocean of dreams.

In the dream, she wore a floral dress and crouched in an alley; at her feet lay a nest of dead cats, which she had stitched and woven with silk thread into a bizarre yet symmetrical monster.

【You meticulously designed a killing game, physically eliminating your job rival; you have comprehended the ultimate mystery of the workplace unspoken rule "Carrot Pit".】

【Your Evil Value has quietly risen, and the game's True Inheritance Degree rises accordingly↑】

【Under your guidance and manipulation, your blood-related younger sister committed a less-than-perfect crime; her crime is in your grasp.】

【At the peak of Chang Qingsen's emotions, you killed him.】

【Your Evil Value rapidly rises, and the game's True Inheritance Degree rises accordingly↑↑↑】

【You ruthlessly toy with your younger sister's emotions, like a cat teasing a mouse, letting her suffer torment in fear and nightmares.】

【Your Evil Value continuously rises, and the game's True Inheritance Degree also continuously rises with your deeds↑】

【.....】

【Your current Inheritance Degree has risen to 9%!】

【You have obtained rewards: Normal Skill Point*1, General Skill Proficiency*10000, Marrow Cleansing Pill*1.】

Feng Mu, mask removed, gel washed off his face, had no sleepiness at all; he stared with incomparable excitement at the prompt subtitles flashing before his retina.

"Slightly beyond my expectations, a simple killing game actually directly raised Inheritance Degree by 1%?"

Feng Mu pondered for a moment, his heart gradually clearing; a shocking inference formed in his Nao Hai.

"The reason is, I personally guided Feng Yuhuai to commit crimes; in this process, the Evil Value generated is recorded both under her name and on my account."

"In other words, if operated properly, Feng Yuhuai is a Double Experience Card I can activate at any time?"

Feng Mu's eyes flickered with brilliant light; his feelings for his younger sister quietly deepened at this moment, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Truly my blood-connected, sibling-like good younger sister."

Feng Mu exclaim for a while, then closed the panel.

This time he had experience; he first stripped naked and entered the restroom, sat stark naked on the toilet, and only then swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The medicine's effect took effect instantly upon swallowing.

Same as last time, accompanied by strange gurgling sounds, a foul stench quickly permeated the toilet.

【After experiencing the profound baptism of Marrow Cleansing, your strength has increased.】

【Strength Index: 8.9→9.2, significant increase!】

【The miraculous effect of Marrow Cleansing likewise brought a delicate enhancement to your Agility.】

【Agility Index: 6.2→6.5, a light leap upward!】

【Under the augmentation of Marrow Cleansing, your Constitution achieved a qualitative leap, becoming even more tenacious and unyielding.】

【Constitution Index: 3.6→4.4, a massive leap!】

【And at the Perfection conclusion of the Marrow Cleansing Ritual, your Spirit also experienced a Warm and steady growth.】

【Spirit Index: 1.3→1.5, quietly growing!】
